a few chickens, Rosie, Tillie and Agnes Monk are left to shift for 
themselves by the strange disappearance of their father, Robert Monk, 
who has not been seen since he left home Saturday on his daily round 
to gather the refuse from saloons and so forth, which he gathered 
daily for feed for his chickens. No idea of where the father can have 
gone to is held by the three girls who are left alone in the world and 
without support. Herman Monk, a brother, who lives in Two Rivers has 
been seen and it was hoped that the father might have gone there—
although he had never before left home to go out of the city without 
telling his daughters where he was going, but he had not seen anything 
of his father. Another son was brought to the county asylum from Oshkosh, 
considered incurable, just a few days ago. This is the second unexplained 
disappearance in this city recently, Joe Petrosky who disappeared a few 
weeks ago not having been heard from since.

MONK'S BODY IN SHEBOYGAN RIVER
Manitowoc Man, Missing Since Thursday, Dead in That city
WAS DEATH SUICIDE OR DUE TO ACCIDENT?
Robert Monk, a Seventh ward man who has been missing
from his home since last Tuesday, lost his life in the
Sheboygan river in that city, the body having been
recovered Tuesday afternoon by Edward and George Kempf,
Sheboygan men who discovered it floating in the river.
The body was found near the new bridge which is being
constructed by Contractor W.E. Pellet of this city, and
one theory is that Monk was enroute to apply for work
with Mr. Pellet's crew. Monk's body will be brought to
this city for burial.
Monk left his home early Tuesday morning, July 20 and
his absence during the day occasioned no alarm but when
he failed to return that night and the next day, the 
matter was reported to the police with request that an
investigation be made. Search in the city failed to 
reveal a trace of the missing man and Sheboygan and 
other near by cities were advised of Monk's disappearance
and asked to be on the lookout for him. The message
from Sheboygan Tuesday afternoon that the body had been
found was the first clew to the where-abouts of the
missing man.
Monk's death is believed to have been due to an accident,
this theory being strengthened by the fact that a railway
ticket for the return trip from Sheboygan to this city
was found upon the body. It is argued that had Monk
intended to leave here or to end his life he probably
would not have purchased a return ticket. The ticket
was stamped July 20, the day that Monk disappeared and
it is supposed that he left town shortly after his 
departure from home. A small sum of money, a brass chip
of the Kestley saloon and a few trinkets were found on
the body. The coroner at Sheboygan ordered an 
investigation.
Nothing is known by the family as to what may have
prompted Mr. Monk to leave home and go to Sheboygan
but the fact that he appeared to have been enroute to
the camp of Mr. Pellet's workmen, supports the theory
that he may have been looking for work. He was 45 years
of age and had resided in this city for years. There
are three children surviving, his wife having been dead
for some time.
Jos. Monk, a brother of the dead man, departed for
Sheboygan immediately upon receiving news of the finding
of the body and as soon as the inquest is held, he will
bring the remains here for burial.

WENT DOWN WITH BOAT
Manitowoc Youth and His Two Rivers Brother-in-law Lose Life 
at Sheboygan
FISHING SMACK IS CAPSIZED
Northeasterly Gale Strikes Boat Within Short Distance From Shore – 
Accident Monday Afternoon.
By the capsizing of a Two Rivers fishing smack, which occurred less 
than half a mile out from Sheboygan late Monday afternoon, two lives 
were lost, one of the victims being Martin Zigrodnik a youth of this 
city and the other his brother-in-law, Florian Monka, of Two Rivers. 
The fatality was witnessed by people on the pier and a tug was at once 
sent to the rescue, but too late to lend assistance, the men having 
gone down before the scene was reached.
Monka, who was a fisherman at Two Rivers, has recently placed a new 
gasoline engine into the boat Monday morning, accompanied by young 
Zigrodnik had set out to place the nets for a catch. At noon quite a 
sea prevailed and it is supposed that the boat was unable to make her 
way back, and drifted southward, the wind coming from the northeast, 
until near Sheboygan where an attempt was made to run to port. This 
was partly successful but the heavy sea carried the boat on the roof 
just north of the breakwater. 
Search for the bodies and boat was conducted, but all that could be 
recovered was two net boxes and several buoys.
The boat in which the men put out was thirty feet in length, seven feet 
beam and of Mackinaw build. It is thought probable that Zigrodnik 
became seasick and was unable to assist in managing the boat and that 
Monka could do nothing alone. News of the accident reached here in the 
evening, but it was not until late that the identity of the unfortunate 
men was established.
Zigrodnik was a youth of 18 years of age and was son of Mr. and Mrs. A. 
Zigrodnik, who reside on the South Side. Monka was married and is 
survived by several brothers and sisters. The loss entailed in the 
sinking of the boat is $900.

NO TRACE OF BODIES
Of Men Who Went Down In Fishing Smack at Sheboygan Monday.
Up to the present time nothing more has been heard or seen of the 
two men who lost their lives by the foundering of their fishing boat 
while trying to enter the Sheboygan harbor in the severe storm of 
Monday. Relatives immediately hastened to Sheboygan from Two Rivers 
on receipt of the information but on account of the high sea running 
and large ice flows coming down the lake it was impossible to do 
anything toward searching for the bodies or the craft.
Two Rivers city has for years been the home of hundreds of fisherman 
from the ranks of whom many men were selected to serve in the United 
States life saving service, and at one time every captain in charge 
of a station from Sturgeon Bay to South Chicago was a Two Riverite. 
The accident at Sheboygan is the first of its kind to occur since 
the year 1881, when two fishermen lost their lives by drowning while 
coming from Algoma.
Several pieces of the Two Rivers fishing smack lost off Sheboygan 
break water Monday have been picked up in the river there. One of 
the pieces was part of the side of the boat and gun wale and another 
was a part of the spar that attached to the spar seat. Another 
article was a gallon can filled with oil, also a washboard. The parts 
of the boat were all painted a led (sic) color which corresponds with 
the color of the boat. A great many expressed the belief that the boat 
would remain intact but this seems a quite conclusion evidence that it 
has gone to pieces.

PRESBURY WEST MOORE   cemetery #44

P.W. MOORE, BANKER, PASSES AWAY ILL BUT A FEW DAYS, DEATH IS A GREAT SHOCK
Cashier of State Bank of Manitowoc Stricken At Hospital Early Sunday
Life's uncertainty was never more forcibly brought home to Manitowoc than 
Sunday when the annoucement of the death of Presbury W. Moore, cashier of 
the State Bank of Manitowoc, shocked the community in which he had been a 
resident for nine years to become one of the foremost business men of the 
city. Mr. Moore's death occurred at the hospital at 5:30 Sunday morning, 
less than twenty-four hours after he had been removed to the institution 
following a severe attack of stomach trouble he suffered three days 
previously.
Although intimate friends knew that Mr. Moore had been suffering from 
stomach complaint for the past few ????? ???? ??? his condition had at no 
time caused alarm and he was apparently little affected and seemed in robust 
health. Wednesday, however, he experienced an acute attack of his trouble 
and Saturday was removed to the hospital where ulcerations caused hemorrhages 
which resulted in death. It is probable that had Mr. Moore lived an operation 
would have been undertaken, but his condition early Sunday morning became 
alarming and the end came in a short time.
Native of Minnesota
Mr. Moore was a native of Minnesota, having been born at Herron Lake, that 
state, July 14, 1886 and being but 43 years of age when death claimed him. 
He was studious as a youth and after completing his school work, entered 
a bank for training for a business career in his home state. Later he located 
a claim in Montana and it was while in that state he married Catherine Miller, 
the widow who survives him. Returning to Minnesota Mr. Moore after some time 
in bank work and as cashier of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, was appointed a 
bank examiner and held that position until 1920 when he resigned to come to 
Manitowoc as cashier of the State Bank of Manitowoc. With his family he had 
since made his home here and had surrounded himself with a large circle of 
admiring friends and as looked upon as one of the substantial and outstanding 
business men of the city.
Active in Civic Affairs
During his residence here Mr. Moore had been active in civic affairs as a 
member of the Rotary club, the Elks, the Knight Templars and other 
organizations. He was a member of the Boy Scouts Council for several years 
and was serving in that capacity at time of his death, and his work for the 
Scouts had been performed with enthusiasm and that came from love of the boys 
and a desire to promote their welfare. He had given his personal efforts to 
boys in his own neighborhood and his death has left a void in the hearts of 
the youngsters who had enjoyed his counsel, companionship and benefactions. 
Mr. Moore had also taken a great interest in the Salvation Army and was a 
member of the advisory council of that organization in this county and 
treasurer of the board. In his business relations Mr. Moore was recognized 
for his keen insight, his successful administration and his uniform courtesy 
and was universally esteemed by all with whom he came in contact and who knew 
him.
Home and Family Ties
Although busied with his work Mr. Mooore's interest centered in his home and 
family where he will be sadly missed. He is survived by his wife and two 
children, West, aged 14 and Priscilla, 12.
Funeral services will be held from the home at 1333 Michigan avenue Wednesday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.The servies at the cemtery being in charge of the Masonic 
order.

SON OF JOHN MOORE   cemetery #44

( ____ Moore/d. 24 Oct. 1862/age 8 yrs./son of John Moore/
cause: accidentally shot/from record of St. James Episc. ch., Manitowoc)
********
FATAL ACCIDENT
We learn that a painful accident occurred at the Rapids last Sunday, 
whereby a young lad named Moore lost his life through the criminal 
carelessness of another boy, some fourteen years of age. According to 
our informant, several boys were at play, when one taking up a gun, 
pointed it a little boy saying, "I will shoot you," the little fellow 
said 'no you wont;' and ran behind the boy Moore. The fellow then 
pointing at Moore said I will shoot you, at the same time pulling the 
trigger.
It seems there was no cap on the gun, and though the boy knew it was 
loaded, he thought it would not go off. The whole charge entered the 
boy's body, and he died at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
When will people learn to put firearms out of the way of children, 
and when will people have a true sense of the danger there is in 
carelessly handling a gun as they would a walking stick? Almost every 
paper we take up, contains an account of a death from carelessness in 
the use of firearms. Pointing a gun at another, whether it be loaded 
or not, should be made a crimianl offence, and every case prosecuted 
to the full extent of the law. In no other way can the practice be 
stopped.

On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 24, the community received the sad news 
of the death of Mrs. John Morrissey. For the past few months she

when death occurred. 
Mrs. Morrissey was formerly Mary Kenney and was born in Ireland,

Morrissey of Maple Grove at Milwaukee in St. John’s Cathedral by

Grove. Her husband died in January, 1884. She will not only be 
missed by her immediate relatives but also by a host of friends 
and in fact by all who knew her. Surely we can use the words of 
the poet and say, “None knew her but to love her; none named her 
but in praise.” She was a Christian mother and belonged to St. 
Patrick’s congregation for the past 38 years. She leaves to mourn 
her untimely demise a daughter, Mrs. Martin Mangin of Grimms; two 
sons, John of Milwaukee, and Tom of Chicago; also a sister, Mrs. 
Frank Gehbe of Manitowoc, and a brother, John Kenney, of Iowa.

hers was a very large funeral. The pall bearers were Mike Connell, 
Dan Falvey, Dan Mangin, Dan Sheahan, Lewis Nevotney and John
