JOHN GAEDKE  (d. 1948)  cemetery #44

Fire Chief John Gaedke Dies of Heart Attack at LaCrosse
Member 43 Years of Department Here
John F. Gaedke, chief of the Manitowoc fire department since 1938 
and a member of the department for 43 years, died in St. Francis 
hospital at LaCrosse late Wednesday afternoon, while attending the 
annual convention of the Wisconsin ???? Chiefs association. He was 
62 years of age.
Accompanied by Mrs. Gaedke, the chief had left here by auto Sunday 
morning for the three-day conference. At Oshkosh his car figured in 
a minor traffic accident, necessitating completion of the trip by bus. 
He took part in the Monday and Tuesday convention sessions of the 
chiefs' organization of which he was elected president in 1946.
Mrs. Gaedke said that her husband, who had enjoyed previous good 
health, suffered a heart attack in their hotel room at 5 o'clock 
Wednesday morning. A doctor was called and ordered the chief removed 
to the hospital where he was placed in an oxygen tent. He was kept 
there throughout the day until 4 p.m.
He failed to respond, however, and death came about 5:30. Mrs. Gaedke 
was with him at the time and was joined there early Wednesday evening 
by a daughter, Miss Lucille, a Lincoln high school teacher, and a 
sister of the chief, Mrs. Arthur Scherer.
Woods Acting Chief
Death of Chief Gaedke has made Edward H. Woods, first assistant chief, 
acting head of the local department. He has been a member of the 
department since 1915 and was named to his present post March 1, 1945.
Funeral services for Chief Gaedke will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday 
at the First Reformed church, Hancock and South Ninth streets, with 
the Rev. A.C. Fischer officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. 
Members of the fire department will take an active part in the funeral 
services and will serve as pallbearers for their chief.
A son of the late Henry and Sarah Gaedke, Chief Gaedke was born on his 
parents' farm near Wayside, Brown county, in 1886. When a boy of five 
years he moved to Manitowoc with his parents where his father was a 
bridge tender on the old Eighth street bridge for 24 years.
After receiving his education in both Lutheran and public schools of 
the city, he joined the local fire departmen in 1905 when 18 years of 
age. At that time all of the fire fighting equipment was horse drawn 
and the young fireman enrolled as a driver. He was promoted to the 
rank of lieutenant two years later and in several years was made a 
captain.
Was State President
Upon the retirement of Chief J.H. Kratz in 1927, and the promotion of 
assistant chief James Kuplic to chief, Gaedke was made the assistant 
chief. He continued in that position until succeeding Kuplic as chief 
when the latter was named to head the local police department in 
September, 1936. For years Chief Gaedke had been in charge of the drill 
schools conducted weekly at the northside station.
Always active in the affairs of the Wisconsin Chiefs association, Gaedke 
was elected first vice president at the Watertown convention in July, 
1945. A year late he was chosen state presi-
(Continued on Page 2, Co.5)
FIRE CHIEF GAEDKE DIES AT LA CROSS
(Continued from Page 1)
dent at the Neenah meeting. At the LaCrosse convention he had been named 
a state director.
Chief Gaedke was particularly interested in activities dealing with fire 
prevention in Manitowoc and was a member of the city safety commission. 
He was responsible for numerous recommendations for safety made by the 
commission to the city council.
Worked For Fire prevention
For years he was in charge of the city's annul cleanup week and in 1942 
obtained national recognition when Manitowoc, largely through his efforts, 
received a second place ranking in the state for the year-round program 
of fire prevention and community cleanup activity here.
That same year Milwaukee alone placed ahead of Manitowoc among Wisconsin 
cities participating in the program of the National Fire Prevention 
association. On that occasion this city received a special certificate 
for the outstanding program conducted under the direction of Chief Gaedke.
His local lodge affiliations included the Eagles club and the Royal league.
Leaves Wife, 6 Children
In 1910 Chief Gaedke married the former Miss Ella Scherer of this city. She 
survives him with two sons, Reuben and Frederick, at home; four daughters, 
the Misses Lucile, Merle and Joan, all at home, and Mrs. Wayne Shellman, 
also of this city; a brother, Capt. Edward Gaedke, who retired from the 
local fire department in May, 1947, five sisters, Mrs. George Vollendorf, 
Mrs. Hugo Schroeder and Mrs. Arthur Scherer of this city, Mrs. Edward Hopper 
of Ogema, Wis., and Mrs. Harry Blumenstein of San Diego, Calif., and one 
grandson (private) of this city.
The body was brought to the Urbanek and Schlei funeral home here this 
afternoon and may be viewed there from Friday noon until removal to the 
church at 10:30 Saturday morning. It will lie in state at the church until 
the time of services Saturday afternoon.

Koenig and to this union two daughters were born.

ARCHIE GALBRAITH   cemetery #44

EXPLOSION ON THE ANN ARBOR NO. 5 AT FRANKFORT KILLS THREE MEN
Archie Gilbraith, One of Engineers, This City, May be One of 
Men Killed Outright Wife Leaves For Frankfort
Bulletin
Mrs. Gilbraith departed this afternoon for Frankfort on Ann Arbor 
No. 5. Just before she left she received word that her husband’s 
collar bone had been fractured and that he had been scalded with 
steam about the face and hands. Later today another report to the 
Ann Arbor office stated that the body of “A.Gilbert” had been 
recovered, together with that of Wm. Freeman and Lon Boyd. It is 
thought the name Gilbert was confused in the message and may be 
that of Gilbraith and if the message is true, indicated that the 
local man was killed instead of seriously injured and that the 
message to Mrs. Gilbraith here announcing only injuries, was sent 
to allay her fears. Word was received here shortly before noon 
today of a serious explosion on board the Ann Arbor No. 5 while 
she lay at her docks at Frankfort, Michigan, resulting in the 
death of three men, including Second Assistant Engineer, William 
Freeman. Details are meager and relatives of Archie Gilbraith, 
one of the engineers, and Louis Hanson, employee of this city, 
first mate, are anxious as to their safety. First messages today 
stated that Mr. Gilbraith was badly but not fatally injured. The 
other two men killed were a coal passer and a water tender. Hanson, 
according to messages was not near the scene of the explosion and 
was uninjured. The accident occurred at 9:30 and probably was caused 
by the explosion of a steam pipe. It is thought that an oversupply 
of gas was generated by the draft furnaces while the vessel was 
lying in port awaiting the boarding of a show troupe for Manistique. 
R.H. Reynolds, marine superintendent, in this city today received 
the first word of the explosion and is awaiting further details. 
In the meantime the family of Mr. Gilbraith is awaiting messages 
telling of the extent of his injuries.

PHILIP GARBER       cemetery #43

Note: Please find following this message, the obituaries for my mother-in-law's 
grandfather. Philip Garvey. My mother-in-law was a Garber and no one knows of 
the explanation why the name got changed from Garvey to Garber. The Manitowoc 
Co. records show the name both ways for his four children. As we understand it, 
He married an Irish Woman (Ms. Haloran), but my mother-in-law thought that he 
himself was German (however there is an Irish immigrant, namely Patrick Garvey, 
buried in the Calvary Cemetery).

"A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Philip Garvey, aged forty-six years, died at the Holy Family hospital on Wednesday 
morning, Feb. 6, after having been unconscious for about for hours, as a result of 
a fall down a coal chute. The accident occurred Monday afternoon, Feb. 4, when Mr. 
Garvey, who was employed as a teamster, was about to unload a load of coal at the 
hospital. The unfortunate man had his skull fractured in the fall. He never regained 
consciousness. Garvey leaves a wife and two small children-a son and a daughter-to 
mourn his loss.  The decedent was a brother-in-law of James Holleran, He was a member 
of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Cato lodge. The funeral was held last Saturday 
morning from the St. Boniface church in this city.  Interment took place at Calvary 
cemetery. Mr. Garvey's untimely end is deplored by all who knew him, and the bereaved 
family have the sympathy of the community in their sore affliction. The family home 
is near the plant of the Clay company, Mr. Garvey having been an employe of that 
concern."

INJURY HAD FATAL RESULT
Philip Garvey Dies From Fall at Hospital Monday
Without having regained consciousness, Philip Garvey, the Clay Product Co. employe 
injured at the Holy Family hospital Monday, died early today, death being due to 
hemorrhages which he suffered as a result of the injury to the skull. There was no 
break in the skull and physicians attending decided that an operation would do no 
good. It is said that in the fall Garvey burst a blood vessel in the brain and the 
hemorrhage was a severe one that caused death. 
The dead man was 46 and is survived by a widow and two children who reside at the 
plant of the Manitowoc Clay Product Co.

with his family inhabited a house in the Clay Pr. Co. district was according to his

occupied himself with a coal delivery to the Hospital.  On his way through the 
maintenance house he plunged down a four-foot high step and hit in this way, his head 
so hard against a pile of bricks that he died there in the hospital remaining unconscious 
also into Tuesday without coming to. Without him having regained consciousness, the 
badly injured passed on. The man was so suddenly and horribly met his maker, reached

JULIA BARTA GARDNER   cemetery #44

MRS. I. GARDNER, NEE JULIA BARTA, WRITES NOTE, TELLING INTENTION, 
PLACES IT UNDER HER PILLOW AND THEN STEALS OUT TO RIVER DOCK
Despondent in the belief that she never would recover from tubercular 
affliction, her mind affected since the death of her babe a year ago 
and with other trouble that had preyed on her so that she could endure 
it no longer, Mrs I. S. Gardner, nee Julia Barta of this city, ended 
all in the river last night leaving a tear stained letter for the 
family to read when they missed her this morning.
In the letter Mrs. Gardner requested her parents not to mourn for her, 
that she had thought out her solution for herself and refused to be a 
burden on them any longer and that in the end they would find that she 
had chosen the better course for she would never be well again.
She related how for weeks she had fought off the desire to end her 
existence in the river and had many times come to the point when she 
was ready to take the finel step and then became afraid when the actual 
attempt was to be made.     
She asked that Mr. Gardner's people be not notified since for it would 
be expensive to come here from the West and the letter bade them an 
affectionate farewell.   
Mrs. Gardner was married five years ago and left with her husband for 
Cleveland, Ohio, and other cities of this state. Mr. Gardner was 
tubercular at that time and his wife soon contracted the desease. 
Recently she returned here and her mind was affected since the death 
of her baby a year ago. Her family tried in every way to quiet her 
and set her mind at rest but she was imbued with the desire of 
committing suicide, though she herself did all she could to fight 
off the desire. ...
She is survived by a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bartha(sic). 
Mrs Gardner was 28 years of age, sisters, Mrs. Samuel Lewis , Lodi, 
Mrs. Jos. Kaiser, and the Misses Blanche, Cleveland, Ohio, and Albie, 
this city. Her brothers are Fred, Lodi, and Emil, this city.

From Der Nord Westen, 31 Jan. 1901:
Death in Town Newton on Wed. last week of 72-yr. old Philipp Gardner, an old
settler of that town. The funeral was held Fri.
(Note: I put him in St. Isidore cemetery because his death was recorded in
the church books. I have no surname Gardner in Newton township)


MARGARET GAREY   cemetery #44

Mrs. James G. Garey (photo), 81, 1020 North 11th street, died Sunday 
evening after a week's illness. Death was due to pneumonia.

Mrs. Garey, nee Margaret O'Hearn, was born at Maple Grove in 1857 and 
in 1893 was married to James G. Garey. They located on a farm near 
Grimms, which they operated until 1912, when Mr. Garey disposed of the 
farm and with his wife, moved to this city.
Mrs. Garey was a member of the Altar society of the Holy Innocents 
church.
Survivors are the widower; a brother, John E. O'Hearn, Reedsville; and 
several nieces and nephews.
The body was removed to the home this afternoon from the Pfeffer funeral 
home.
