JOHN PETER CARR cemetery #83 (Photos of the young people and crash are included in original article.) (edited for living people) 3 Kiel High School Students Killed in 2-Car Crash. Two Others Injured At Intersection. Three Kiel High School students were killed late Friday in a two-car crash two miles north of Kiel at the intersection of Highway 32 on County Trunk X. Injured in the triple-fatality accident were another local high school student and the driver of the other car who was alone in his vehicle. Killed were John P. Carr, 17, ... Kiel, driver of one of the cars. Vickey Kay Freis, 15 daughter of ... . Carol Marie Schneider, 15, ... All the victims were occupants of the auto driven by the Carr youth. Another passenger in that car, ..., a cousin of Vickey, also of Kiel, is at St. Nicholas Hospital. He sustained an arm fracture, concussion and is in shock, but his condition is not considered critical. The driver of the other car, ..., about 25, of R. 2, New Holstein, also is at St. Nicholas Hospital. He sustained lacerations, concussion and a leg injury. His injuries were not believed to be serious. Manitowoc County authorities said they were able to obtain only sketchy information concerning the crash as they had not been able to question either of the survivors. They said that both cars, a 1956 four-door sedan, driven by the Carr youth, and a 1965 two-door, driven by ..., were demolished. Both landed in the southwest corner of the intersection. Preliminary investigation indicated that the Carr vehicle was traveling south on Highway 32 and ... west on County Trunk X. Chief Henry Pleuss and Sgt. Vernon Klimet of the Manitowoc County Traffic Police, were continuing their investigation of the accident. The first report of the accident, compiled by investigating officers, did not indicate where the four teenagers had been earlier in the evening, but the officers assumed they were returning to their homes when the accident occurred. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, who ordered an inquest, said that the Freis girl was dead at the scene. The others two died shortly after arrival at St. Nicholas Hospital. The triple death accident brought the Manitowoc County total for 1965 to 11, compare to 19 on this date a year ago. Authorities recalled that the last triple death accident in the county occurred on Sept. 6, 1964, at Highways X and A, only a few miles east of Friday night's accident. Three elderly Elkhart Lake area residents were killed in that crash. The Freis girl, a sophomore at Kiel High School, was elected the Kiel Chamber of Commerce's Harvest Festival queen last month. Friends of the family said that Vickey had been under treatment for a heart ailment most of her life and was scheduled to undergo further heart surgery. But despite her chronic heart ailment, she had become active in school and church activities. The Carr youth was a senior at Kiel High School. His father is sales manager for the cheese division of Lake to Lake Cooperative and his grandfather is State Sen. Peter P. Carr of the 15th Senatorial District, Janesville. Miss Schneider, a sophomore at the high school in Kiel, was active in school athletics and in Catholic Youth Organization activities at Osman. She was one of twin sisters. The injured youth, ..., has been handicapped all his life with a spinal ailment and is able to walk only with the aid of crutches. His brother, ..., was married this morning at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Kiel. Both Jeffrey and Vickey had planned to attend the wedding. It was decided to hold the nuptial services as scheduled but only members of the immediate family attended. John Carr was born in Janesville, Aug. 10, 1948, moving to Kiel with his parents 11 years ago. He was a member of Ss. Peter an Paul Catholic Church and the high school and municipal bands.

JOHN E. CASHMAN (d. 1946) cemetery #16 John Cashman, Senator, Is Dead Succombs Last Night After Brief Illness; In Politics 25 Years State Senator John R.(sic) Cashman, 80, of route 1, Denmark, a power in state and national politics for a quarter of a century, who only last April withdrew from the race for senator from the first district, died at 8 o'clock last night at the Holy Family hospital. Senator Cashman, who for the past year has resided in this city with his son, Attorney John R. Cashman, had been a patient at the hospital for a month. Failing health prompted him to withdraw his name from the list of primary candidates this spring. Six candidates, four from this county, seek Senator Cashman's seat in the state senate as representative of the district which comprises Manitowoc, Kewaunee and Door counties. His term expires at the end of 1946. Funeral services for Senator Cashman will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the St. James Catholic church, Cooperstown of which congregation he was a member. Burial will be in the adjoining cemetery. A leader in the ranks of the Progressive party ever since its founding, Senator Cashman was the author of much important legislation enacted at Madison while he represented this district in the upper house. He was first elected in 1922, and except for a two year span has represented the district ever since. Started Politics in 1922 Born in 1865 on a farm in Franklin, Kewaunee county, which his father purchased from the government, he was educated in the public schools of his district and later attended Valparaiso university and the Chicago Law school. After teaching in Kewaunee and Brown counties he became an inspector for the United States bureau of animal husbandry at Chicago in 1901. From 1903 to 1919 he served on the staff of the United States bureau of internal revenue and then returned to his farm in Kewaunee county. He was first elected to the state senate in 1922 and was one of the LaFollette delegates to the national Republican convention at Cleveland in 1924. Always active in education, Senator Cashman was appointed to the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin by Governor Blaine, serving six years. Author of Legislation In his long tenure in the upper house at Madison Senator Cashman was the author of far-reaching laws, including the present highway law, the 15-cent tax on oleomargarine, brought forward as a protection to the state's dairy interests, and the farm woodlot law. Senator Cashman was also the author of the law enacted in 1933, when beer came back, which provides that all beer sold in Wisconsin must be made from barley. The Cashman highway law, enacted in 1931, provides for raising funds for highway improvements out of the gas tax and motor license fees. The farm woodlot law exempts from taxation farm woodlands. The senator led a fight in the legislature to secure passage of a resolution, which provides for elimination of what the senator charged was foreign propaganda in the school histories of state institutions of learning. In the fall of 1936 Mr. Cashman won the Democratic nomination for congress in the eighth district, but was defeated by the late George Schneider, Appleton Progressive. He served out the remainder of his senate term and (Continured on Page 2, Co. 1) JOHN CASHMAN, SENATOR, DEAD (Continured from Page One) in 1938 again ran for congress on the Democratic ticket. This election was won by Joshua John, Algoma Republican. Filled Unexpired Term When Francis Yindra of this city, named to the Cashman vacancy in the senate, resigned in 1939 to accept a federal post, Senator Cashman was again named for the unexpired term. In 1942 he was elected again for the full four year term. In addition to his membership in the St. James church at Cooperstown, he was also a member of the Holy Name society and of the Knights of Columbus of Algoma. On Sept. 15, 1896, Senator Cashman married Miss Sophie Duaime of Lawrence, Brown county. She preceded him in death June 10, 1907. Attorney John R. Cashman of this city, a son, is the only survivor. The body is at the Wochos funeral home in Denmark, where it may be viewed after 7 o'clock this evening. Manitowoc Herald Times, Manitowoc, Wis.
