MARY MCCARTY cemetery #21 IN SAME DEATH TRAP Mrs. Mary McCarty Loses Her Life At Fatal Railroad Crossing. IN VILLAGE OF BRANCH. Run Down by C. & N. W. Freight. Mother Is Killed Outright and Son Seriously Injured – Details. In a death trap created by the unprotected Chicago & Northwestern crossing at Branch, Mrs. Mary McCarty an aged resident of Cato, yesterday lost her life, and her son, Daniel received injuries that are of a serious nature. The accident happened late in the afternoon as Mrs. McCarthy and her son were on their way home from a visit to town. In crossing the tracks at Branch, the vehicle in which they were riding was struck by a south bound freight train and Mrs. McCarty was hurled to her death, the son escaping by a providence that was little less than a miracle. The scene of the accident was the crossing at Branch, where several other fatalities have occurred. The track is so situated that in approaching it is impossible to see it in either direction, and this was the case yesterday. Mr. McCarty, who was driving, was already on the track when he was made aware of the danger. The freight bearing down at a good speed. He urged his horse with a view to clearing the track, and might have succeeded, had not his mother, becoming frightened, grasped the lines and checked the animal. The engine struck the vehicle fairly and threw both occupants to the ground, the son retaining a hold on the horse and being dragged out of danger. Mrs. McCarty was killed outright and in examination of her injuries after the accident it was found that her skull had been crushed, the right arm fractured in three places, left arm broken at the wrist and bones in both limbs fractured. Mr. McCarty sustained injuries to the back and may have suffered internal injury, but it is thought he will recover in a short time. The train, which was in charge of conductor Schuette, was brought to a standstill and the crew went to the assistance of the unfortunate victims. The woman was found to be dead and the remains placed in the caboose to be brought to the city. Mr. McCarty was assisted aboard the train, and on arrival here was taken to Holy Family hospital where Dr. Pritchard, the company physician attended him. The body of Mrs. McCarty was taken to the Vogelsang & Murphy undertaking rooms and Coroner Meany notified. An inquest was called by Justice Falge, the jurors being C. A. Groffman, U. Gagnon, Robt. Puls, J. Reif, Frank Rose, Joseph Willinger. After viewing the remains, the inquiry was adjourned until this afternoon, when another adjournment was taken until Saturday at 9 a. m. Mrs. McCarty, who was the mother of Robert McCarty and Mrs. Richard McGuire, of this city, was 78 years of age and made her home with her sons, Daniel and Charles of Cato. The family came here in an early day and is widely known. Eleven children survive to mourn the sad death of their mother. They are Mrs. R. McGuire, city; Mrs. C. Conner, Liberty; Mrs. E. Holleran, Milwaukee; Mrs. Hanna McGuire, Nebraska; Mrs. K. Dillon, S. Dakota; and John, Thomas, Robert, Eugene, Daniel and Charles McGuire, all residents of this county. The accident yesterday is the sixth to occur at the Branch from the same condition. The neglect of the railroad company to provide protection at the crossing is little short of criminal and that some action has not long since been taken by the town officials is unexplainable. Several lives have been lost and more than one person permanently injured. Immediate action should be taken.

PATRICK MCCARTY cemetery #44 RULES ESTATE OF LOCAL MAN GOES TO HOME Vets Home to Secure Property Left by P. McCarty Under a ruling handed down by the state department at Madison, the estate of Patrick McCarty, Manitowoc county man, deceased, will go to the commonwealth as a bequest to the Veterans Home at Waupaca and relatives, of whom a number reside here, will not share in the estate. The ruling was handed down at Madison today in an opinion to Atty. L.W. Ledvine, of the firm of Nash, Nash & Ledvina, representing heirs of McCarty. The opinion holds that the Wisconsin Veterans' home at Waupaca is a "person" when an inmate of the home leaves part of his estate to the "the person I am staying with at the time of my death." the veterans' home, while receiving state aid, is a charitable and benevolent corporation, the opinion, written by Franklin E. Bump, assistant attorny general, held. Estate Value $300 McCarty, a veteran of the civil war, had been cared for at the Veterans Home at Waupaca for some time previous to his death and when his will was opened it was found that his property, said to represent a value of about $300, was bequeathed to the "person" who cares for me at the time of my death. The question was raised whether the veterans home could claim the estate under the terms of the will designating "person" as the beneficiary. The attorney general rules that in such case the home represents a "person" under the law. It is understood that no contest on the estate going to the state will be raised by relatives here.

JOE MCDONALD cemetery #44 CORONER'S JURY MAY HOLD N.W. FOR MAN'S DEATH REPORTED THAT LAW VIOLATED BY TRAIN CREW IN NOT HAVING MAN ON CAR WHICH WAS AHEAD OF ENGINE AS TRAIN BACKED Will the Chicago & Northwestern Railway co. and the train crew in charge of the train be held by the coroner's jury as responsible for the death of Joseph MacDonald, the carferry fireman killed at the lake front early this morning when the inquest is held Monday, or will the verdict be "accidental death?" Rumors are current in official circles that the inquest may develop facts of alleged carelessness in the operation of switching trains and that the investigation as to full compliance with the laws by train crews will be an important factor is the inquest. It is claimed that at the time of the accident the engine was pushing a box car ahead of it and that no flagman or brakeman was on the car which may be a violation of the state law. The tracks of the Chicago & Northwestern are not on private property and under the law the company is obligated to take every precaution for protection of the public and if it develops that it failed to do so, there may be censure in the report of the jury, it is said. The fact that the accident in which MacDonald lost his life is the second of the kind within a few months at the lake front yards, has stirred officials to demand a thorough investigation into the accident and speculation is rife as to the result. "The fact that MacDonald was a boat hand, friendless and a stranger is not material and no reason why an inquest should not be held," said Coroner Falge this morning. Mr. Falge admitted that the question of negligence on the part of Northwestern and the train crew would probably be investigated by the jury in connection with the death of MacDonald and said that regardless of the identity of persons injured or killed, it was the duty of the authorities to investigate and for that reason the inquest had been ordered. MacDonald's body will be held pending inquiry as to (illegible) remains are not claimed the body will be buried at county expense. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, August 14, 1915, Page 1 ********** MAN KILLED BY SWITCHING TRAIN AT LAKE FRONT JOSEPH MAC DONALD, CARFERRY FIRE MAN, TERRIBLY MANGLED WHEN TRAIN PASSES OVER BODY EARLY THIS MORNING Joseph MacDonald, a fireman on the Pere Marquette carferries, was ran down and killed by a switching train in the yards of the Chicago & Northwestern early this morning, the accident happening at the lake front yards, near the plant of the Wisconsin Pea Canners company. MacDonald's body was badly mangled and the man was dead when members of the train crew reached him. MacDonald is 28 years of age and is said to be the son of a wealthy Michigan family. MacDonald was last seen at 11 o'clock and is said to have been sober at that time. The accident happened shortly after 1 o'clock. The unfortunate man is believed to have been on his way to the lake front docks to wait for his boat and had been walking along the track or crossing it at the foot of Quay street when a switching train, which was backing down the track, struck him. The man was dragged a distance of nearly 100 feet before members of the train crew became aware that he had been struck and the train was halted and the body extricated. The wheels of the car had passed over MacDonald's body, crushing the hip and almost severing the left foot. The head on the right side is also badly crushed. From appearance of the body and the manner in which it is mangled the authorities believe that MacDonald may have been sleeping on the track when struck by the train. Segt. Trochlell of the police department reported having seen MacDonald as late as 11:30 and the man is said to have visited the Orpheum saloon on Washington street where he appeared without a hat and was given a cap by Manager Thielen. Nothing was found of the clothing of the dead man except a small bit of lead pencil in one of the pockets of the trousers. There was no money and no papers that would aid in identifying labor by inquiries made among boat men. The switching train was in charge of John Vollendorf as fireman and Engineer DeForest was running the engine. The fatality is the second that has happened in the lake front yards with a short period of four months, another man having been killed on the tracks near the plant of the Northern Produce company, a few weeks ago, the body being found next morning. MacDonald's body was taken in charge by the Urbanek & Wattawa company and will be held while an effort is made by the authorities to locate relatives. Coroner Falge and District Attorney Schmitz ordered an inquest held and a jury was impaneled to view the remains and the inquest will be called Monday morning at 9 o'clock.

We will see her free and happy With her Father there above, In Heaven, where all is sunshine Nothing but sweet words of love. Then Sarah dear sleep sweet and peaceful In your very narrow bed, And we'll pray that we will greet you Wehn our days on earth are fled. We are praying that you'll be happy Sweetly dwelling above with Him. And that eternal blessings shall dwell with you Is our earnest prayer. Amen. Sheboygan Press April 27, 1887

CATHERINE MCNEILL/MCNEIL cemetery #89A DEATH OF MRS. JOHN MC NEILL During the early hours of Friday, January the 5th, occurred the death of one of the pioneers of Manitowoc county, Mrs. John Mc Neill. Her death, although not unexpected, was sudden, she having been about the house until a few hours before she sank into the sleep that knows no waking. General debility and old age being the cause of death. Mrs. Mc Neill, whose maiden name was Catherine Bell, was born on the island of Collonsay, Scotland, in 1824. In 1847 she married Neil Buchanan and emigrated to America in the early fifties, coming almost immediately to Two Creeks, Manitowoc County, where she and her husband went bravely to work to establish a home in the wilderness. The rugged life proved beyond the strength of Mr. Buchanan and he died a few years after coming to Two Creeks. In 1861 Mrs. Buchanan was married to John Mc Neill, also a native of her home island. During the early days of her pioneer life she endured all the hardships of such a life and her stories of early days were replete with interest and will be remembered as a portrayal of conditions that can no more exist in this country - the pioneer life. Mrs. Mc Neill used to relate how many times in the dead of winter she had walked back and forth to Manitowoc through the dense forest for supplies. She made friends of the Indians, who at that time peopled the virgin forests, and received many gifts of game and berries from them. Often in the winter nights a dusky face appeared among those about her hospitable board, while the snow sifted in through the logs and the hungry wolves howled about the house. Mrs. Mc Neill lived at Two Creeks for over 40 years - long enough to see the wilderness transformed into a fair country. About four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Mc Neill sold the old homestead and moved into Two Rivers where she has lived ever since. She numbered her friends by the score. Her kindly cheerful disposition and her true Scotch hospitality gaining her friends wherever she went. All who know her will regret that she has gone to the land o'the Leal. She is survived by a husband and four children, namely; Duncan Buchanan, Mrs. M.H. Smith, Mrs. James Stewart and John Buchanan. She also had 15 grand children and 3 great great grand children. The funeral occured Sunday afternoon from the Congregational church, of which she was a devout member. Mr. Thompson spoke feelingly of the long life of usefulness which is now so peacefully ended. The choir rendered several beautiful selections, and many old friends and neighbors gathered at the home and church for the last act of kindness they could do her. Interment was in the Two Rivers cemetery. Those of her relatives who attended the funeral from out of town were Mrs. M.H. Smith, Walter Smith, Miss Isla Smith of Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. James Stewart, Misses Lizzie, Iona, Essie and Letie Stewart of Liberty, Mrs. D. Buchanan, Miss Katharine Buchanan, Mrs. Thos. Mc Neill, Mrs. Alice Christian of Sheboygan, Peter Brady of Liberty, Miss Emma Broun, Mr. Goldie and daughters of Manitowoc. Two Rivers Chronicle, Tuesday, January 9, 1906

WALTER KEITH MEANS cemetery #44 Walter Keith Means Succumbs When Blood Vessel is Ruptured WAS WELL KNOWN GOV’T. ENGINEER HERE “In the midst of Life, we are in Death.” is a quotation which though an old one was aptly instanced in the death of James Keith Means at an early hour Wednesday evening when after only a day’s illness he passed away. To die is an unpleasant thought and Death is an unwelcome messenger to the best of us. The summons is easier acquiesced in thought when it comes to us in the company of our friends and those near and dear to us to dispose of earthly affairs, to say goodbye and to collect our thoughts before being ushered into the other realm. There seems in such a call a little likeness to human customs and we are inclined to ascribe to Death though relentless an attribute humane. When the Destroyer sends his message unheralded, you might say, without even a whisper of the impending call and but a few hours intervening between the summons to get ready and the taking off of the spirit, it requires the fortitude of a sincere Christian, the resignation of a soul whose peace is made on Earth to respond to the summons without some manifestation of human resentment. Though the deceased was given but a few hours to prepare for his final journey, having been stricken but a day before death came, Mr. Means had that particular requisite possessed of which no soul hesitates to meet its Maker. He had been at Two Rivers on Tuesday in connection with some government work and returned tired though with no sign of impending illness. He complained after a while of feeling ill and a physician came and administered to him. His condition grew steadily worse however and at 7 on Wednesday evening the spirit passed away. Mr. Means had remained semi-conscious during the last day and had spoken to his wife several times cheering her and though unable to respond to her questioning remained partly conscious of his surroundings up to the very last. The immediate cause of his death was a rupture of the coronary artery. His death is a particularly sad ending to a perfect union. Seldom were two souls so happily mated as Mr. Means and his wife. Wedded but a short year and a half, the demise of Mr. Means is indeed a sad visitation and the sympathy of loving friends and acquaintances can alleviate only in part an affliction such as one is called upon to suffer but once in a life time. Walter Keith Means was born in Augusta, Maine, Dec. 21, 1851. He was a graduate of the English High school, Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a civil engineer. He came West to Milwaukee about twenty two years ago and was associated with Mr. Goodhew in engineering work and first came to Manitowoc about the time the sewer system was planned, about twenty years ago. He had been in the employ of the government for several years and has several times been in the city on government work. He was a member of the Plymouth Congregational church Milwaukee and always took an active interest in the church affairs. While here he was, a regular attendant at the Presbyterian church, was married to Alice Newcomb on October 4, 1910. The decedent who though reserved was a pleasant man to meet. He was of quiet and dignified bearing. A man exceeding will bred and endowed with attributes of gentleness, who delighted to tell of his work in engineering fields. He had made a collection of pictures and curios and to those fortunate enough to see them and to hear him relate his experiences the occasion was indeed a treat. The community suffers a distinct loss in his death. The funeral will be held from the late home 412 Park street on Saturday at 2 pm.

ANNA (GILBERT) MEANY cemetery #44 DEATH OF MRS. MEANY IS SHOCK TO COMMUNITY Pneumonia Claims Well Known Resident After Brief Illness at Hospital— Burial to be On Thursday Not in years has the community been more shocked and deeply grieved than by the announcement yesterday afternoon of the death of Mrs. Anna Meany, wife of City Health Officer J.E. Meany, who passed away at the Holy Family hospital after a brief illness of pneumonia. While it was known that Mrs. Meany’s condition was grave and that death was imminent, the announcement came as a terrible shock and keen sorrow to a large circle of friends. Mrs. Meany had been a patient at the hospital for two weeks or more, a little daughter having been born ten days ago, and she was improving when she suffered an attack of pneumonia, which caused her death at 3:45 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Since Saturday Mrs. Meany’s condition had been critical and oxygen had been used to prolong life while everything possible was being done in a vain hope that life could be saved. Anna Gilbert Meany, nee Dempsey, daughter of the late Michael Dempsey, Sr., was born in this city on Sept. 6, 1876 and had always made her home in Manitowoc. She attended St. Boniface school and later graduated from the public schools and was one of the most popular young ladies of the city, being a leader in social circles, surrounding herself with a host of admiring friends whose love she retained during her life. Decedent was married in this city on June 19, 1901 to Dr. Meany, who, with seven children, survive her. The family home is at 836 North Seventh street. The children, the oldest 16 years, and the youngest, 10 days are; John, Paul, Helen, Anna Grace, Virginia, Charlotte and Marion. Besides her husband and children, Mrs. Meany is survived by six brothers and six sisters, Joseph, of Seattle, Michael, James and Thomas, this city; B.A. Dempsey, Waukesha; John of Denver; Mrs. Griffith Williams, La Grange, Ill.; Mrs. W.D. Barden, Oak Park, Ill.; Mrs. George Shields, Grand Rapids, Wis.; Mrs. K.E. Dover, Chicago; Mrs. C.R. Jeffreys and Miss Margaret Dempsey, of this city. Seldom has the sympathy of the community been so alert and made manifest in so marked a degree as in the closing hours of Mrs. Meany’s life, constant inquiry at the hospital as to her condition coming from hundreds of friends in the city and county. Among her intimate friends and those who know her as youthful companions, school mates and family friends, sympathy was swayed by every report from the sick room and in the bitterness of deep sorrow that has come to those who grieve most there is a deep sense of human tenderness. Mrs. Meany was possessed of those qualities of womanhood that make her the highest type. A kindly disposition and beautiful character endeared her to her associates and made friends of all with whom she came in contact that was in her home, however, that the crowning triumph of Mrs. Meany’s life and influence was felt. Her interest centered in her home and family ? here she found her greatest happiness—ministering to her family and their welfare. She was a true friend, always helpful and her life work could be summed up in the words, “Mother, Friend.” Funeral services for Mrs. Meany will be held Thursday morning at 9 o’clock from the home, via motor to the Sacred Heart church. Interment will be at Evergreen cemetery. Manitowoc Herald News, Tuesday, October 08, 1918, Page 1 ********** Mr. and Mrs. John G.
