FRANK BOURIL cemetery #43 From Der Nord Westen, 16 Nov. 1905: Frank Bouril has been missing since 05 Nov. and his family has asked the police to search the river near the water tower. It was there that he was last seen, and his family fears he may have fallen into the river. ************ From Der Nord Westen, 05 Apr. 1906: Our readers will remember that last Oct. 5th Frank Bouril disappeared without a trace. One knew that he had left his house, but then his trail was lost. It was feared that he had met with some misfortune or had drowned in the river. On Monday afternoon Joseph Mally and Peter Bies, two workers in the lime plant, while erecting a timber work against the ice at the nearby railroad bridge, saw a body and notified the police. Because of the long time in the water the identity could not be established. There were no wounds on the body and whether the individual died accidentally or was murdered, must be established by the coroner's inquest. The coroner's jury absolutely established that Bouril had left his home to pay a debt of $10 he owed to Ed. Mohr for some brickwork, and it was established that the dead man had two five-dollar bills in his pocket along with a $1.50 loose change. The jury rendered a verdict that Bouril had met an accidental death.
GEORGE BOURIL cemetery #43 TWICE REPORTED DEAD OVER SEAS, CORP. BOURIL, CO. H BOY, HOME THROUGH FLAMES Twice reported dead and on another occasion said to have had both legs shot away, Corp. George Bouril, son of Mrs. Frank Bouril and who left here with Co. H., arrived in the city Saturday night from Camp Grant with his discharge. Although not fully recovered from wounds which he received in two engagements, Corp. Bouril is rapidly recovering and is being warmly greeted by friends. He is the second Co. H. boy to come back "through the flames". Co. H. boys, many of whom had been in the hospitals in France, may be expected to arrive daily now according to Corp. Bouril who said today that few of the old company boys had finished the service in the line with the command, a majority having sustained wounds, been gassed or put out of commission in the service. Corp. Bouril was in the hospital for many weeks and was erroneously reported "killed in action" by a war department list. Corp. Bouril was injured in the Chateau Thierry drive, having been shot in both legs but later recovered and was with his command in the Argonne Woods where the American troops fought the last battle of the war. Bouril was gassed and was sent back to the hospital and later to Paris where he was after the armistice was signed and when President Wilson arrived at the French Capital. The local boy witnessed the magnificent reception given to President Wilson, King George, King Victor Emanuel and others of the allied rulers and saw that it was an experience rivalled by none in his life. The excitement and joy of the French people when the armistice was signed beggar description says Corp. Bouril who declares that the American boys were given every honor and hailed as deliverers. Corp. Bouril left Manitowoc with Co. H on August 6th, 1917 for Camp Douglas and sailed with the company from New York on February 26th 1918. Upon arrival in England a large detail from Co. H. remained at Winchester where they were placed in charge of the American rest camps while their comrades were sent to France to go in training in the Lorraine district before being sent to the front line trenches. "It was a great experience and lots of excitement but I hardly think I would care to go through it again" and Corp. Bouril today in speaking of his service overseas. "We were finely treated everywhere and everything possible, under the circumstances, was done for us. The Red Corss and kindred organizations surely performed a wonderful work for the soldiers and none of the boys would permit a word of criticism of them. The life, until you become accustomed to it, was naturally hard but you forgot your hardships in the determination that America must win and that determination was the most marked feature in the American lines. The excitement also helped you forget the hard knocks and your absence from home and kept you on tiptoe all the time. I would not exchange my experience for anything even if I am averse to going through it again" declared the solder. Corp. Bouril returned on the British steamer Melitta, landing at Boston Jan. 22nd. His boat was the second to land at Boston with American troops and the city of Beans sure gave the boys a welcome he says. Although Corp. Bouril has been expected earlier in the week his return Saturday night was a surprise that made the Bouril home one of the happiest in the city. Manitowoc Herald News, Monday, February 10, 1919 P.1
