FICK, MRS. PETER
   A sad accident, which caused the death of Mrs. Peter Fick of Louis
   Corners, occurred on highway 32, four miles east of Kiel, Sunday 
   morning at about 10:30, while she was on her way to church. The Ford 
   coupe which she was driving, and a Chevrolet touring car driven by 
   Paul Albrecht, and also occupied by Alvin Voss, both of Meeme, 
   collided. 
   Mrs. Fick was traveling south on the town road and Mr. Albrecht was 
   going west on highway 32. When she came near the crossing of the 
   highway, Mrs. Fick stopped to let off her grandson, Walter Bub, and 
   she had driven  half way across the intersection when the rear wheel 
   of her car was struck by the Chevrolet, which came over the top of the 
   hill. The young men did not see Mrs. Fick until it was too late to 
   avoid the accident. The crossing cannot be seen before reaching the top 
   of the hill.
   Mrs. Fick was thrown against the door of her coupe by the force of the
   impact which caused it to open and permit her to be thrown out of the
   car. Her feet caught in the door and she was dragged over the ground
   when the car swung around, striking her head on a stone. Physicians from
   Kiel and Manitowoc authorities were called while Mrs. Fick was taken to
   the farm home of John Voss, Jr., where she died a short time later.
   A coroner’s jury, which was drawn Monday, and will be called on to fix
   the blame for the death of Mrs. Fick, consists of the following: Rud. 
   Greve, Geo. Meyer, Erwin Boeselager, Edgar Burkhardt, Alb. Wagenknecht,
   and C. A. Wallman. Monday afternoon they were taken by Sheriff Ed.
   Kasten to view the remains of Mrs. Fick at the Meiselwitz undertaking
   parlors, and from there they went to the spot where the accident occurred.
   They also viewed the two wrecked cars that were in the accident. The
   inquest will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the court house
   at Manitowoc.
   Arthur Bub, another grandson of Mrs. Fick, who was also in the car,
   was not injured.
   The deceased, nee Minnie Faber, was born in the town of Wayne, Washington 
   county, 54 years ago, on Aug. 16, 1872. Her marriage to Mr. Fick took place
   33 years ago. Only a short time ago they sold their store and saloon in 
   Millhome and moved to Howards Grove, from where they came to Louis Corners, 
   having purchased the general store of Haarman & Livingston. Mrs. Fick is 
   survived by her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Erdman Reichert of this city, 
   and Mrs. Walter Bub of Louis Corners; two brothers, Philip Faber of 
   Milwaukee, and Charles of Roseman; and two sisters, Mrs. Albert Krueger
   of Theresa, and Mrs. John Phils of Sheboygan Falls. The funeral services 
   were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Town Rhine church, with

GILSDORF, MARGARET 
   SLEEPING SICKNESS CLAIMS VICTIM
   The sleeping sickness or Encephalitis Lethargica, as it is called in 
   medical profession, claimed its first victim in this county when on 
   Monday morning at 6:30 o’clock Mrs. Joseph Gilsdorf passed away at the 
   age of 27 years.
   These cases have been reported all over the civilized world, the first
   reports came apparently from Italy and Austria. In England it was made
   the object of extensive investigation by the Local Government Board. In
   this country, there have been reports in literature from widely separated
   places. It is a new disease and this was the first one in this vicinity.
   The first symptoms were that she had neuralgia and pains in the head;
   after several days brain symptoms manifested themselves.
   The attending physician recognized the nature of her illness when called
   for consultation on Friday, and called in an Appleton physician who also 
   diagnosed the case as the sleeping sickness, he having a few cases of this
   nature.
   Everything in medical power was done to revive her but of no avail. She 
   rallied at times until early Monday when she passed to her early reward.
   Mrs. Joe. Gilsdorf, nee Margaret Denzel, was born August 5th, 1893, at
   Kaukauna. At the age of four months her parents moved to St. John. She
   was married to Joseph Gilsdorf on October 28, 1919, at St. John and since
   that time resided on the Gilsdorf farm in this village.
   The funeral will take place Thursday morning at 10:00 o'clock from the
   house. Her funeral will be pathetic beyond expression, for not one as the
   last good-byes shall be said but will feel that a loss has been sustained
   for which there is no compensation.
   She is survived by her husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Denzel, and
   and one sister, Mary.
   Services will be held at 10:30 at St. Mary’s church with interment in St.
   Mary’s cemetery. - Hilbert Favorite
   Mr. and Mrs. Gilsdorf were residents of this village about a year ago.

GLOVER, ALICE WARBASSE
   MRS. GLOVER, WIDOW OF CITY PIONEER, DEAD
   Oldest Inmate of Milwaukee Protestant Home Passes Away There; Survived By Sister
   Mrs. Alice Warbasse Glover, 93, widow of a pioneer Manitowoc merchant who 
   erected the Glover building here, one of the landmarks of the city in the 
   pioneer days passed away on Wednesday at the Protestant Home for the Aged 
   at Milwaukee and was buried there yesterday. She was the oldest resident 
   of the home, having entered there in 1900. Services were held at the home 
   Friday morning.
   The only surviving relative is a sister, Mrs. Harvey F. Hubbard, formerly 
   a resident of this city but now located at Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Glover 
   passed away in the same room which she has occupied since entering the 
   home thirty years ago.
   Husband Erected Glover Bldg.
   Mrs. Glover was born May 7, 1836 at Newton, N.J. With her husband she 
   located in Manitowoc, where Mr. Glover was one of the first business men. 
   He erected the Glover block, a three story brick structure at the corner 
   of Sixth and York streets, which still stands and is used as a furniture 
   warehouse. Mr. Glover had one of the first dry goods stores in Manitowoc 
   at that location, when much of the business activity of Manitowoc centered 
   there, with the Windiate House, leading hotel of the town, across the street 
   to the west. Before she became a resident of the Protestant home Mrs. Glover, 
   herself, was active in institutional management. She was superintendent of 
   St. John's Home for the Aged at Milwaukee and later she had charge of the 
   Clergy house of All Saint's Cathedral.
   For years Mrs. Glover attended services at her church regularly-not only on 
   Sundays but also the midweek services. She constantly sought uses for her 
   time and refused "to grow too old or too feeble to keep busy."
   Mrs. Glover was well remembered by many of the older residents of Manitowoc.
