VLASTA KRAINIK KULHA   cemetery #44

MESSAGE OF DEATH OF LOCAL GIRL
Telegrams received here brought news of the death at Modesto, Calif., 
of Mrs. Henry Kulha, nee Vlasta Krainik. Death occurred on December 31 
and was the result of complications following the birth of a child. 
The baby survives its mother.
The marriage of Miss Krainik, who was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. 
Krainik of this city and Henry Kulha was the culmination of a war 
romance. Miss Krainik met her husband when he was on the train enroute 
to battlefields of Europe. An acquaintanceship was formed the two 
corresponded. Upon the return to America Mr. Kulha came to Milwaukee 
and the two were married and departed for California where they made 
their home at Modesto on a large ranch owned by Mr. Kulha. On Dec. 17 
a baby was born and everything appeared well and the home was made 
brighter and happier. Then the mother began to fail and and death came 
on the last day of the year bringing untold sadness.
Arrangements have been made to bring the remains to this city for the 
burial and will arrive either Monday or Tuesday. It is probable that 
the funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon from the chapel at Evergreen 
cemetery.
Mrs. Kulha was about 30 years of age and besides her husband and babe 
is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Krainik of this city, 
and a number of brothers and sisters at Milwaukee.

RICHARD KULNICK   cemetery #2

SMALL SON OF RAPIDS FARMER KICKED TO DEATH BY HORSES IN PASTURE
A pall of sadness has come over the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter 
Kulnick, town of Rapids residents, and the sympathy of numerous 
friends and acquaintances will be extended to them because of the 
untimely death of their three and a half year old son, Richard, 
who on Sunday, while having wandered into the pasture was kicked 
to death by one of the horses. 
The little fellow had been in the house playing about the kitchen 
and was suddenly missed by his parents. They instituted a search 
and were horrified to find him lying unconscious in the field 
adjacent to the farm home with blood streaming from a wound in the 
head evidently having been inflicted by one of the horses in the 
field. There were still signs of life and the boy was rushed to 
the hospital in an automobile but it was impossible to save his 
life and he died two hours after being brought to the institution. 
Mr. and Mrs. Kulnick reside on the River road six miles west of 
the city. They express the belief that the boy, who was not afraid 
of the horses, made his way through the fence into the pasture and 
then in play chased one of the animals which turned and kicked him.

HERMAN KUMMEROW   cemetery #89A

TWO RIVERS PARTY MEETS WITH FATAL ACCIDENT HERE
MELVIN KRAUSE AND HERMAN KUMEROW, MEMBERS OF PARTY OF 5, 
KILLED WHEN CAR UPSETS
Accident on Calumet Road Near Brown’s Corners at Early Hour this 
Morning Results in Death of Two and Three are Injured
CAR SPEEDING AT HIGH RATE DITCHED WHEN STEERING GEAR FAILS TO WORK
Two are dead and three others had a narrow escape in one of the worst 
automobile accidents of the year on the Calumet road speedway at an 
early hour this morning. The dead: Melvin Krause, 33, married, Two 
Rivers. Herman Kumerow, 50, widower, father of three children, Two 
Rivers. The injured: Mat Kronzer, 35, tailor, Two Rivers, gash in head, 
body bruised. John Pilon, 35, mail carrier, Two Rivers, face lacerated, 
arm cut, body bruised. Walter Johannes, 38, mechanic, Two Rivers, 
bruised about the body and head. 
The accident happened at the culvert east of Brown’s Corners on the 
Calumet road to Silver Lake. The car, a 1917 Kissel, skidded on the 
road and was thrown against the concrete abutment of the culvert and 
was overturned, the occupants being thrown from the machine or buried 
under it. The top of the machine was wrecked, the windshield shattered 
and the car badly damaged. Kummerow, who occupied a seat in the rear 
of the car, was pinioned under the machine and his life crushed out, 
death resulting almost instantly. His head struck the concrete pier of 
the culvert and was cut open. He was dead when found under the machine. 
Krause was found unconscious a short distance from where the machine 
was lying, his skull fractured and he died at the hospital three hours 
after the accident. 
Had Been at Lake. 
The car was owned by Walter Jahannes, master mechanic of the Aluminum 
Goods company at Two Rivers, and Mr. Johannes was driving the machine 
when the accident occurred. The party of five left Two Rivers at ten 
last night, came to this city and later drove to the lake where they 
spent several hours. The party left the Ouker road house at two o’clock 
this morning to return to Two Rivers. A car driven by Delmar Seitz of 
this city, who with the two companions, John Koch and John Hassinger, 
was returning, was just ahead of the Johannes car and at Brown’s Corners, 
turned from the roadway to permit the Two Rivers party to pass. 
According to statements made by Seitz today, the Johannes car was 
traveling at a high rate of speed, estimated by Seitz to have been thirty 
five miles or more at the time it passed him and skidded to the north 
side of the road. When about fifteen feet from the culvert, Johannes 
attempted to swing his car back onto the road and the machine was thrown 
against the culvert abutment overturning and pinioning its occupants 
under it. 
Says Steering Gear Broke. 
Johannes says ? the steering gear of his machine failed to work properly 
and that the accident was due to this. He says he noticed that the 
steering gear was not in perfect order when he turned out to pass the 
Seitz machine and when he attempted to get onto the road near the culvert 
he lost control of the car. Johannes escaped with the least injury of any 
of his party. 
Physicians Are Called. 
Seitz and his party rendered assistance to Johannes in lifting the wrecked 
automobile and rescuing members of the party who were caught under it and 
Seitz immediately proceeded to the city to summon physicians, Dr. MacCullom 
and Hammond being rushed to the scene. 
Bring Injured Here. 
The body of Kummerow, who was dead when taken from the wreck was turned 
over to William Frazier, undertaker, and Krause who was unconscious from 
his injuries was brought to the hospital together with Kronzer and Pilon 
where the injuries were attended to. Krause failed to rally, however. The 
body was turned over to Beduhn and Goetz. Kronzer and Pellon, who were 
slightly injured, were permitted to leave the hospital and return to their 
homes on the first car to Two Rivers this morning. Johannes also returned 
to Two Rivers, after having pulled his wrecked car from the ditch and 
taken it to the George Brown hotel near the scene. 
Authorities at Scene. 
Coroner Falge and District Attorney Brady were notified of the accident 
shortly before three o’clock and immediately proceeded to the scene to 
take up the investigation. District Attorney Brady secured a statement 
from members of the Johannes party and form Mr. Seitz and said this 
afternoon that it was not probable that an inquest would be held as the 
facts of the accident were clearly established. 
Deny Men Were Intoxicated. 
Although it is said that the men had been drinking some at the Lake, denial 
is made that any of the party were intoxicated, and the authorities say 
that they do not believe that this is true. All of the men with the 
exception of Kummerow are married, Krause, one of the men killed, was a 
son-in-law of Robert Suettinger, Two Rivers hardware merchant and is 
survived by a widow and one daughter. Kummerow’s wife died several years 
ago and he is survived by a family of three children. He was employed as 
a foreman at the Hamilton plant at Two Rivers. 
Pilon is United States mail carrier and Kronzer is employed as a tailor 
in that city. Mr. Johannes is a mechanic with the Aluminum Goods company. 
Crowds Visit Scene. 
During the early morning many people from this city and Two Rivers visited 
the scene of the fatal accident and throughout the day the spot attracted 
large crowds. As soon as news of the accident reached this city, 
communication was secured with Two Rivers and relatives of the dead and 
injured men were notified and arrived here as rapidly as possible. 
Authorities May Act. 
As result of the accident, county authorities may take immediate action 
to employ motorcycle officers to patrol the Calumet road and other state 
highways leading out of the city which have during the summer been used 
as speedways by many automobile drivers. Since the Calumet road has been 
repaired and ? this summer, it has been in first class shape and has been 
used as a speedway to a great extent. District Attorney Brady recently 
served notice that he would prosecute speeders but it failed to check 
the practice and more stringent measures will have to be adopted, the 
authorities believe. 
Many Accidents on the Road. 
Last night’s accident is one of a dozen or more which have occurred during 
the present season, but is the first in which fatalities have occurred. 
Only a few nights ago, Walter Novak, a motorcyclist, was severely injured 
by collision with a buggy on the Calumet road and a short time before that 
a taxicab of the Herzog company was thrown into a ditch off the roadway. 
The road is extensively used and speeders make it unsafe at night. 
Take Bodies Home. 
The bodies of Kummerow and Krause who were killed in the accident were 
taken to Two Rivers today and the funerals will be held in that city. 
Krause was one of the most popular young men of Two Rivers and the sad 
tragedy has cast a mantle of gloom over that city.

FUNERAL OF TWO VICITMS OF CALUMET ROAD AUTO TRAGEDY 
TO BE HELD 2 RIVERS SUNDAY
Unfamiliarity of Johannes With Road and Defective Steering Gear Cause 
of Terrible Mishap Which Claimed Two Lives. Roads to be Patrolled
Funeral services for Melvin Krause and Herman Kummerow, victims of 
the terrible automobile accident on the Calumet road Wednesday night, 
will be held at Two Rivers Sunday, from the Congregational church. 
The three occupants of the car, who escaped death in the accident, 
Walter Johannes, Mat Kronzer and Joseph Pilon are able to attend to 
their usual duties. 
Mr. Pilon who is a US mail carrier at Two Rivers, reported for duty 
as usual yesterday morning following his discharge from the hospital 
where he was taken after the accident. 
Unfamiliarity with the road is believed to have contributed to the 
accident, together with the failure of the steering gear to work 
properly. 
Mr. Johannes, owner and driver of the car, has been known at Two 
Rivers as a careful driver. Had Johannes been acquainted with the 
road he would probably not have attempted to turn out for the Seitz 
car when so near the culvert which is 22 feet in width and guarded 
by concrete abutments two or three feet upright at each side. When 
Johannes, after turning out for the Seitz car and when within fifteen 
feet of the culvert, attempted to turn back onto the road, to be 
confronted with the abutments and failure of the steering gear to 
respond readily, the machine was carried against the north side 
abutment and toppled over it. All of the men in the accident were 
among well known Two Rivers people and the sad tragedy has caused 
much sorrow in that city. 
Mr. Krause, one of the victims, had joined the party just before it 
left Two Rivers, having been importuned by the others to take a ride 
while he was on his way home with his family. Two hours earlier he 
with others had made a trip to the Range line road to view the scene 
of the accident in which George Wolter of Algoma and his party 
narrowly escaped death when their Ford turned turtle after striking 
a pile of gravel in the roadway. 
Mr. Kummerow, who also met death in the accident on the Calumet road 
was in an accident near Mishicot a week ago when in order to avoid a 
collision with another car he ran his machine into a hole and narrowly 
escaped serious injury. Mr. Kummerow, who was foreman at the Hamilton 
plant is said to have been known as one automobile driver who 
conscientiously observed the rules of the road and preferred to risk 
his own life rather than that of any one else. 
The Two Rivers party had visited Silver Lake and were returning to 
this city, enroute home when the fatal accident occurred. The tragedy 
had its effect upon drivers of automobiles to the lake last night and 
few cars were speeding on the roadway. It is said that the State 
Highway commission, which with the county authorities has supervision 
over the state roads, has decided to cooperate with the county in 
policing the roads and a motorcycle patrol is now being maintained on 
the Two Rivers concrete road and will be shifted to other roads and 
speeders will be held to strict accountability.

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.

                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. Upon 
investigation it was found that he had nothing in the building. It is said that 
he used his mother's money for his operations.


MARY KUNZ  (d. 1925)  cemetery #44

MRS. L. KUNZ SUMMONED BY DEATH TODAY
Funeral Services Will Be Held from Home Thursday
Mrs. Mary Kunz, wife of Louis Kunz, 815 Marshall street, died at the Holy 
Family hospital at 1:4? this morning following an illness of several months. 
She was removed to the hospital about a month ago and underwent an operation 
for eye trouble. Death was due to a complication of diseases incident to old 
age. The funeral will be held from the family home at 2 o'clock Thursday 
afternoon and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
Mrs. Kunz was born at Cleveland, Ohio, March 26, 1856 and would have been 
sixty-nine at her next birthday. Strangely enough her family name before 
marriage was also Kunz and with her parents she came to Manitowoc as a child, 
receiving her education in the public schools here. She was married to Louis 
Kunz in this city November 28, 1876 and the family has since made its home 
here. Besides the husband she is survived by three children, George and Erwin 
Kunz of this city and Mrs. J.V. Aldrer of Wilmette, Ill. One sister, Mrs. O.B. 
Sonsthagen and five grandchildren also survive her.
Mrs. Kunz was essentially a home body, devoting her time to her home and her 
family but her pleasant manner and kindly disposition won for her a wide circle 
of friends to whom news of the death will come as a shock and with a distinct 
sense of a personal loss.

CHAS. KUPSH DIES INSTANTLY AFTER FORCED OFF ROAD
Robert Michels, Companion of Kupsh, is Seriously Injured in Wreck
CAR WAS TIPPED OVER
Funeral Of Lad Will Be Held Wednesday At Kellnersville
Charles Kupsh, Menchalsville boy and graduate of the local high school 
class of 1928, was instantly killed in an auto accident near Racine 
Saturday night enroute to Chicago for a visit with friends. The body 
was brought here Sunday night, met at the train by Joseph M. Wattawa 
and taken to the home at Menchalsville. The funeral will be held 
Wednesday morning with services at the Catholic church at Kellnersville, 
Rev. Rous officiating. 
Kupsh, who was eighteen at his last birthday, May 3, had been employed 
in the pocketbook factory at West Bend and with Robert Michels, a West 
Bend boy, started Saturday afternoon for Chicago in Michel’s car. They 
had passed through Milwaukee and were on Highway 41 in the town of 
Caledonia, Racine county, when they were forced off the road. The car 
was turned over and Kupsh was instantly killed. Michels, who was driving, 
was so seriously injured that he is still in critical condition in the 
hospital at Racine. He is unable to explain exactly what did happen. 
Notify Parents. 
The police of Racine telephoned the local department and asked that 
relatives of Kupsh in this city be notified and they in turn notify the 
parents at Menchalsville. Members of the family drove to Racine Sunday 
morning and made arrangements for the return of the body. They failed 
to learn all of the details of the accident and were told that the matter 
of an inquest and other details had all been arranged for. They visited 
the Michels boy who is about 19, at the hospital, but were unable to 
learn anything more than that the boys had been crowded off the road. 
Michels had lost control of the machine and the car tipped over. Kupsh’s 
injuries were to the head and he probably suffered a skull fracture. 
Born at Menchalsville, Charles Kupsh attended school at Maple Grove and 
after graduating attended the Lincoln high school in this city, graduating 
last June. Surviving are parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kupsh, Menchalsville, 
three brothers, Joseph, Jr., of Cleveland, Ohio; William of West Bend; 
Michael of California, and two sisters, Mrs. Edward M. Slager and Mrs. 
Charles Opichka, both of this city.

in the school furniture factory. He contracted consumption and had to 
give up his work several weeks ago because of increasing weakness. He 
and his wife and 4 small children were hard hit by these circumstances 
and led him to suicide. Fri. evening after the children had gone to 
bed, Mrs. Kutska remained up with her ill husband but finally went to 
bed on his promise he would soon follow. Instead he went to the cellar 
and hanged himself from a rafter. Mrs. Kutska awakened at 2 o'clock Sat. 
morning, realized her husband was not in bed and went looking for him. 
She lit the cellar and found her husband's body. Neighbors were notified, 
the body taken down and a doctor called, and it was established that 
life had gone. Justice of the Peace Falge held a coroner's inquest, and 
the jury returned a verdict of suicide. Kutska was about 43 yrs. old.
