MARIE KUNZ cemetery #36 From the Two Rivers Chronicle, Tuesday, December 12, 1905 (front page) DEMENTED SON MURDERS AGED MOTHER Last Thursday evening Wenzel Kunz a young man 27 years of age and subject to temporary fits of insanity killed his aged mother by crushing her skull with a flat iron, giving as his reason for so doing, when arrested, that he did not feel able to support her owing, to his poor health. The murdered woman was fairly well-to-do, and moved to Manitowoc from her farm in Kossuth about three years ago. The murder was a brutal one, but owing to the mental state of the murderer there will probably be no prosecution. He will, no doubt, be sent to an insane asylum and be so guarded that he cannot injure any one. (second page) SON MURDERS HIS MOTHER J.W. Kunz of Manitowoc Says He Brained Her With Flatiron BELIEVED TO BE INSANE Daughter-in-Law Discovers Body Bound to Bed - Accused Dressed in Five Suits of Clothing. Manitowoc, Wis. Dec. 8-[Special.]- Murdered by her son, J. Wenzel Kunz, with a flatiron, Mrs. Mary Kunz, aged 70, was found dead in her home last night, blood bespattered and fearfully mutilated. The murderer confessed several hours later. He is thought to be insane. Mrs. Ignatz Kunz, a daughter-in-law of the murdered woman, discovered the body lying across a bed in the same position she had left her two hours previous, and the son was in the house exhibiting no signs of fear. The dead woman was bound and gagged, bed-clothing being used. Murder Confesses Kunz, the son, was immediately placed under arrest, and when taken to jail he broke down, became hysterical and confessed to the terrible crime. He told the officers of the flatiron which he had replaced on the stove. The man is 28 years old and came here with his mother from Kossuth, where she had lived since 1850. He has been considered insane for several years. A brother is now in an asylum in this county. Woman Was Wealthy Mrs. Kunz was a wealthy woman, and her son has been unemployed since removing to this city. He has engaged in enterprises many times, representing himself as agent of big commercial houses and often being morose, never violent, however. A year ago relatives petitioned for an examination into the man's sanity, but the case was not pushed and the matter was dropped. Had on Five Suits Kunz refuses to discuss the murder. When taken he had on five suits of clothing, a heavy overcoat and a hat. He made no effort to escape. During the night and this morning an attendant was placed with him to quiet him. Kunz advertised for a wife in Milwaukee and Chicago papers continually, and at one time opened a store here for the sale of a patent radiator.
