FREDRIK JORGENSEN cemetery #44 CASE HEARD HERE BY INDUSTRIAL BOARD IS SETTLED, $1260 PAID Insurance Company Pay Widow of Late Fred Jorgensen for Death of Husband who Died Year after Injury at Shipyards Plant Settlement has been made by insurance companies carrying risks of the Manitowoc-Shipbuilding company on the claim for compensation filed by Mrs. F. Jorgensen against the companies for death of her husband, hearing in which was held by the Industrial commission here last week. Mrs. Jorgensen is to receive $1,260 in addition to payments previously made, said to have covered a considerable amount as 65 percent of wages of Mr. Jorgensen while he was disabled. The case presented some rather unusual features, Jorgensen, who was employed by the local shipyards for years, was injured in 1914 by falling from the top of a boiler on which he was at work and suffered injuries that laid him up several months. He recovered however and was able to return to his work (illegible)…was taken ill, his death being due to stomach trouble, it was said. Physicians claimed that the death of Mr. Jorgensen could be traced back to the injuries he had sustained which had made his condition susceptible to the fatal attack and hurried his death. After testimony had been taken at the hearing of the Industrial commission last week, an agreement was made for settlement on the basis of $1260 which was approved by the commission and paid to the family. Mr. Jorgensen was one of the pioneer ship carpenters of the city and had been employed at the local yards for many years. A previous payment of $563 had been made by the company to the family and compensation payments made bring the total to about $3200 for the death of Mr. Jorgensen. It is said Markham and Markham represented Mrs. Jorgensen. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 19, 1917 ********* [bur. 07-07-1916/cause: chronic gastritis]

JULIUS JORGENSEN cemetery #89A From Der Nord Westen, 25 Feb. 1909: An odd death which occurred in Two Rivers was reported to us. A man named Julius Jorgenson, of Norwegian descent, had lodged about two weeks in Wisconsin House. The man was sickly and unemployed. Some years ago he had broken his leg and it never healed properly, causing difficulty for Jorgenson. For several years he worked with farmer Matt. Kummes until no longer able. He then came into the city and worked a few weeks as a stableman at Washington House and did odd jobs for years at Wisconsin House. He had managed to put a little money aside, and a few days ago gave the proprietor of Wisconsin House a check for $250.00 and asked him to use it for Jorgenson’s funeral in case he should die. Friday morning Jorgenson did not come to breakfast and it was thought he didn’t feel well. When he didn’t show up for lunch Mr. Reinert, the proprietor, became concerned and went to Jorgenson’s room only to find him dead in bed. A doctor was called to establish that the man had died a natural death about midnight. Mr. Reinert has fulfilled the man’s last wishes and arranged for the funeral.
