LOUIS KRONFORST cemetery #18 Maribel Man Meets Death by Electrocution on Lines High Falls Co. There Last Night Louis Krumforst (sic), 32, Meets Instant Death on Pole of Wire Line While at Work on Private Telephone Wire. Wife in Critical Condition. Death by electrocution was the fate of Louis Krumforst, an employee of the Maribel Lumber company at Maribel last night. The accident happened while Krumforst was making an investigation of trouble on the private telephone line connected with the High Falls Power company lines between Green Bay and this city. Just how the accident happened has not been determined though an investigation is being made by Manager Carlson of this city who was at Maribel at midnight last night following report of the death of Krumforst. The dead man was 32 years of age and is survived by a widow whose condition was reported to be critical today following collapse from the shock of husband's death. The private telephone line is used by the High Falls in reporting trouble on the cable line and has been taken care of at Maribel by A.R. Kant, manager of the Maribel Lumber company, who would then report the trouble over the Bell line to the superintendent. Trouble was noticed at 10 o'clock last night Krumforst as detailed to locate the trouble, climbed up the pole to the telephone box and was electrocuted. The main cable is six feet above the telephone wire and all wires were heavily insulated and just how the accident could have happened is not known. One theory advanced is that in swinging a wire of the telephone line, Krumforst threw it into contact with the cable and received the shock. No inquest will be held. Krumforst was well known at Maribel and his death was a severe shock to the community. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, May 11, 1918, Page 1

ETHEL R. BACHMAN KRUEGER cemetery #50 (the following sent in by family researcher/see contributors page) Ethel Bachman (Nov. 5, 1903 - Nov. 15, 1968) taught school in Reedsville for over 25 years. She died ten days after her 65th birthday--she had planned to retire when the school year ended in June. She married Louis Krueger (Oct. 22, 1904-Sept. 7, 1959) in 1929. They had a daughter in 1931 who died before she could be named (in the Luthern Cemetery just west of Reedsville--off of County Trunk W) Ethel grew up in Wausau and went to college at La Crosse. Ethel's parents were: Moritz BACHMAN (1866-1910) and Alice HUCKBODY (1869-1932). They are buried cemetery number 53 (St. Johns - St. James Evangelico Lutheran Church Cemetery). On Jan. 7, 1914 (We think)Ethel saved a boy from drowning in the Wisconsin River. The following are replicas of articles that appeared in the Wausau Record-Herald. We have actual copies of these articles, but they have deteriorated somewhat with age (and handling). First article: Probably printed in the Wausau Record Herald on Thursday, January 7, 1914: Little Wausau Girl Saves Drowing Boy, Pulls Him Home on Sled, and Runs Away Playmate Owes Life to Quick-Thinking and Acting of 10 Year Old Ethel Bachman. ________ WAUSAU, Wis., Jan. 16--(Special).-- Wausau has a little heroine. She is Ethel Bachman, 10 years old. She saved a little playmate who was drowning. Then she drew him home on a sled and ran away. She did not want to be thanked for her brave deed. When a newspaper man called on little Miss Bachman she hung her head and hid behind her mother's skirts. Asked to tell how she saved the life of her little playmate, she shook her head. Fred Thorson, 7 years old, was coasting down a hill. His sled went further than usual,onto the ice and into the open river. The boy clung to the ice and began to cry loudly for help. Little Miss Bachman was passing nearby. She heard the cries, which were growing fainter and fainter, and ran to his assistance. Fearing if she went too near the edge of the ice it might break she pushed her sled, which she had with her to the boy, holding onto the rope. The lad grasped the end of the sled. She had a hard time pulling him out. It took her several minutes. The boy was rather weak from fright and holding onto the sled and ice, so she placed him on the sled and took him home. Miss Bachman lives with her mother and younger sister. She did not think much of the incident. ________ Second article: Probably printed in the Wausau Record Herald on Thursday, January 7, 1915: ETHEL BACHMAN GETS HERO MEDAL Ralston Purina Hero Commision Recognizes Brave Deed of School Girl SAVED A DROWNING BOY To Present Medal at Public Exercises at Grant School Friday Afternoon Wausau's little school girl heroine will receive a medal in recognition of her bravery. She is Miss Ethel Bachman, eleven years of age. She saved a little playmate who was drowning. Then she drew him home on a sled and ran away. She did not want to be even thanked for her brave deed. From the story printed in the Wausau Record-Herald, the Ralston Hero Commission of St. Louis learned of her deed. Shortly thereafter this paper received a request from the commission to secure the proper data relative to the incident, and the statement that if the act deserved recognition, a medal would be given the heroine. On Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Richard Evans, pastor of the First Methodist church received the medal. It will be presented to Miss Bachman Friday afternoon at the Grant school. A public meeting will be held at three o'clock in the gymnasium. The school children and others are invited to attend. S. B. Tobey, city Superintendent of schools, will make the presentation. Rev. Evans will give a short address, and a few musical numbers will be rendered. The bronze medal is about the size of a silver dollar. On the front side is a design of a man presenting a laural wreath to another person, who is on his knees. It is an original design, and is very pretty. Above the design is engraved "For Services to Others," and below is "Ralston Purina Hero Medal." On the reverse side, arranged in an artistic manner, is the following engraving, "Hero Medal Awarded to Ethel Bachman January 7th, 1915. Ralston Purina Hero Commission St. Louis, Mo." Story of the Act. Fred Thorson, seven years old, was coasting down a hill on the west side of the river on January 7th. His sled went further than usual and into a small pond near the ice house at the foot of Spruce street. The boy clung to the ice and began to cry loudly for help. Little Miss Bachman was passing by. She heard the cries which were growing fainter and fainter, and ran to his assistance. Fearing that if she went too near the edge of the ice it might break she pushed her sled to the boy, holding onto the rope. The lad grasped the end of the sled. She had a hard time pulling him out and it took several minutes. The boy was rather weak from fright and holding onto the sled and ice and, she placed him on the sled and took him home. She did not think much of the incident. Miss Bachman lives with her mother and younger sister at 315 North Second avenue.

FERDENAND KRUEGER cemetery #75 EXTRA! MAN IS FOUND DEAD IN SWAMP NEAR COLLINS Believed to have been overcome while crossing a swamp in the town of Collins and then to have frozen to death, Ferdinand Krueger, 60 year old town of Franklin farm worker, was found early this afternoon by a nephew searching for him. The dead man was last seen on Sunday night when he left the home of his brother, Emil, for whom he worked with the announced intentions of visiting relatives at Collins. Failure of Mr. Krueger to return to his home on Sunday caused no worry as it was believed that he had remained on a more extended visit than first planned, but after several days passed without trace being found of him, a search was started. It was brought to a close early this afternoon when the dead mans' nephew, Clarence Krueger, found the body near the old homestead. Partly Covered Definite cause of Mr. Krueger's death was not determined up until 3 o'clock this afternoon as persons finding the body did not disturb it but notified Sheriff Herman Carstens who, with Coroner W.G. Kemper, left immediately for the scene to investigate the conditions surrounding the death. The body, it was said, was partly covered by ice covering the swamp. Mr. Krueger was a life-long resident of the county and was born in the town of Rockland. He never married and his only immediate relatives are two brothers and several sisters, living in the vicinity of Collins. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. January 7, 1932 P. 1 ******** NO INQUEST IN DEATH OF MAN FOUND IN SWAMP Co. Authorities Ascribe Death of Fred Krueger, Rockland Man, To Exposure No inquest to determine the death causes of Ferdinand Krueger, 63-year old town of Rockland resident found dead in the township yesterday afternoon after being missing from his home since Sunday, will be held, county authorities announced today after conducting an investigation shortly after the man was found. Death, it was said, was due to exposure as there were no marks on the man's head or body to indicate violence. Barking of dogs sent out to gather cattle attracted the attention of Clarence Krueger, a nephew of the dead man, and when he investigated he discovered the body, partly underneath the water. The body was found midway between Collins and the home of Emil Krueger, a brother with whom Ferdinand Krueger resided, a distance of about one and one-half miles from each place. Died In Sleep Authorities who investigated said they believed that Krueger died while sleeping in the swamp. It was thought that he was walking along Highway 32 when he became drowsy and walked into the swamp at the side of the road to rest below trees about 150 feet from the highway. One hand was in his pocket and the other was being used as a pillow by him. Burial Monday Funeral services for the deceased will be held from the home of Emil Krueger on Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock and from the Evangelical Zion church of Rockland at 1:30 o'clock with interment taking place in the church cemetery.
