Manitowoc Herald Times, June 20, 1950 RAYMOND NAPIECINSKI cemetery #89B TWO MEET DEATH AS AUTO PLUNGES INTO OPEN DRAW OF 10TH STREET BRIDGE TWO OTHER OCCUPANTS OF CAR RESCUED FROM WATER AFTER CAR LANDS IN RIVER Miss Gretna Fetzer, Sturgeon Bay and Raymond Napizinski, Two Rivers, Victims of Tragedy at Open Draw at 10th Street Bridge Last Night PARTY ON WAY HOME IN STORM FAILED TO SEE DANGER LIGHTS Negligence of the city of Manitowoc in failing to properly safeguard bridge approaches, resulted in tragedy last night when two members of a party of four lost their lives in the river as a Ford car plunged into the open draw at Tenth street bridge. The dead are: Miss Gretna Fetzer, 22, Sturgeon Bay. Raymond Napizinski, 19, Two Rivers. Two other members of the party, William Volin of Two Rivers and Miss Ruth Scott of New York, were rescued. Miss Scott was taken from the water after she had swam a distance of more than 100 yards, by John Tusil, a fisherman who reached the exhausted girl in a rowboat. Volin was saved by a life preserver thrown into the river from the Pere Marquette carferry No. 20 which had just passed through the draw. Accident During Storm. At the time of the accident a storm was raging, a driving rain probably clouding the windshield of the machine which was owned and driven by Mr. Volin. Unfamiliarity with the bridge and the storm were probably responsisble for the tragedy. Eye witnesses to the accident declare that the car was proceeding at a slow speed, probably ten to twelve miles at the time it approached the draw and Wm. Timmle, mate of the steamer Shawano who was on the approach at the time says that the machine was going so slowly he thought that the driver was aware that the draw was open and would halt his machine. Timmle says that the car was not speeding. Made Home at Two Rivers. The four members of the party are residents of Two Rivers, both Miss Fetzer and Miss Scott being employed as teachers in the public schools in that city, the former as teacher of mathematics in the high school and Miss Scott as music director of the schools. Both were to have graduated this year. Sad End to Outing. The four young people had attended a musicale at Two Rivers earlier in the evening and left there at 9? o’clock for a drive to this city. They visited the Kleismeier restaurant and when ready to return home found that the storm had broken and the ? were placed on the car. Volin and Miss Scott occupied the front seat of the machine while Miss Fetzer and Napizinski were in the rear seats. The draw of the bridge had been opened for the passage of the carferry, Pere Marquette 20, which had just cleared the draw at the time of the accident. Several Witnessed Tragedy. (Illegible)….plunged into the river and the carferry gave the alarm by a series of whistles. Life preservers were thrown from the ferry by Plant, but failed to reach Volin who was seen in the water, and another preserver was about to be thrown when Volin shouted, “Never mind, I’ll get it,” and started to swim for the floating buoy which he grasped and made his way to the piling of the center pier from which position he was later rescued. Miss Scott Tells Story. Miss Scott, who with Volin, escaped death, probably due to the fact that the two occupied the front seat of the machine and were thrown out when it struck, was taken from the water a 100 yards from the point where the machine landed, Miss Scott swimming and being carried by the current. John Tusil, a fisherman, who has a boat docked at Tenth street bridge, hurried to the assistance of the imperiled girl and she was able to grasp the side of the row boat and was later assisted from the river onto the schooner Newhouse, which was docked a short distance away, by Mr. Tusil, John Kraemer and Herman Jacobson. Miss Scott was taken to the home of Mr. Kraemer near by and a physician summoned to care for her. She suffered no ill effects from her experience although greatly shocked by the accident and the fate of Miss Fetzer and Napizinski. “I do not recall much of what happened. We were driving slowly and I did not realize that we had left the bridge until the windshield crashed. I was thrown into the water and carried down and held my breath. The next I remember is that I was trying to get my coat off. I realized that I was in danger and would have felt safer if I could have freed myself of the heavy garment which however, was held by a belt which I could not unfasten. I am a good swimmer but I felt myself exhausted and held myself above water by treading and using my arms. I do not know whether I could have held out much longer, I seemed to be dazed.” Volin Is Dazed. When Volin, who is 17 years of age was assisted from the river, the young man was so overcome that he was unable for a time to give information as to the accident or the party but later recovered and told of the occupants of the car. Volin was detained and spent the night at the county jail though it is not known that any proceedings are contemplated against him. He was released this morning and returned to his home. Fail to Get Bodies. Although it had been anticipated that the bodies of Miss Fetzer and Napizinski would be found in the (illegible)…out avail. The automobile was recovered at 8 o’clock this morning by McMullen and Pitz. Life Savers Help. Early this morning members of the Two Rivers Life Saving Crew came here to assist in the search for the bodies of Miss Fetzer and Napizinski, three boats patrolling and dragging the river, but at noon, no trace of the bodies had been found and the Two Rivers crew returned home. It was reported to police that one of the bodies, thought to have been that of Miss Fetzer was seen at 3 this morning, being carried past Eighth street bridge toward the harbor entrance. No boat was available at the time and no effort was made to reach the body. Henry Fetzer, father of the dead girl, arrived in the city this morning and with Prof. Darling, principal of schools at Two Rivers, watched the search made to recover the bodies. Mr. Fetzer was overcome by news of the tragedy which was sent him last night, at his home at Sturgeon Bay and he immediately started for this city. Car Not Badly Wrecked. The car, a demonstrating machine and practically new, while located and raised to the height of the bridge was not taken out of the river until this morning and was hoisted to the dock on the North side of the river where the curious in large number inspected it during the day. Aside from the windshield and hood, the car was not so badly wrecked as anticipated. The curtains evidently had been put up, evidence showing that the front ones were torn from their fastenings to the body of the machine. How the occupants of the back seat got out of the car is a mystery. It was expected that the bodies would be found in the tonneau for the curtains were found to be securely fastened down. The glass in the lamps was unbroken. From the appearance of the car with its caved top, it must have turned a half revolution in the air as it fell into the water. City Liable for Damages? That the city is liable for heavy damages is the general belief, though in some quarters it was stated today that ? was not true and that the city could not be held. The accident is the first to happen at an open draw here in a number of years. The death of Miss Fetzer and Mr. Napizinski has cast a pall over Two Rivers. Miss Fetzer Well Known. Miss Fetzer was well known at Two Rivers in this city and was popular. She is an only daughter of Henry Fetzer, president of the Sturgeon Bay bank and had been employed in the Two Rivers schools for (illegible then talks about Napizinski but can’t read it)…. a member of the graduating class of the Two Rivers high school this year and was to have completed his course in pharmacy as soon as he was through school. He is a brother of Lieut. Peter Napizinski, who was commissioned at Fort Sheridan a few months ago and is attached to the National army. Lieut. Napizinkski is at Two Rivers on a furlough at present. Miss Scott’s home is at Potsdam, N.Y. At Two Rivers she made her home with the family of S.P. nelson and returned there this morning. Mr. Volin, driver of the car is a former Kewaunee county resident and was attending school at Two Rivers and employed in a garage there. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, May 22, 1918, Page 1 ******** SEARCH FOR BODY OF DEAD GIRL CONTINUED AND DYNAMITE IS EMPLOYEED IN RIVER TODAY Body of Napizinski Recovered Yesterday Afternoon and Funeral Will Be Held at Two Rivers Tomorrow Morning. Robe Taken from River Last Night Search for the body of Miss Gretna Fetzer, [buried in Sturgeon Bay] victim of the open draw tragedy at Tenth street bridge Tuesday night, continued today and dynamite was used in an effort to locate the girl, but up to late this afternoon, no success had been met with. The Two Rivers Life Saving crew, which yesterday brought up the body of Raymond Napizinski, the other victim of the unfortunate accident, is assisting in the search for Miss Fetzer’s body and a number of others are also working on the river. Napizinski Funeral Friday. The body of Napizinski was taken from the river near the Beers dock at 3:30 yesterday afternoon and was later taken to the Urbanek and Wattawa undertaking rooms and shipped to Two Rivers, where the funeral will be held tomorrow morning. It is anticipated that the funeral will be one of the largest ever known at Two Rivers, the young man being widely known and highly thought of. One of the unexplainable things in connection with the finding of the body of Napizinski is that a coat which he was known to have and on at the time he entered ? at the Kielsmeier restaurant was not on the body when it was found. According to Volin, driver of the car who was rescued, Napizinski wore a heavy overcoat when he, with Miss Fetzer, got into the rear seat of the automobile to start for Two Rivers. No trace of the coat was found in the machine and the supposition is that in some way Napizinski removed the coat after he reached the water. Forehead is Bruised. Napizinski was not injured and no marks were found upon the body with exception of a slight scratch on the forehead. This might have been caused if Napizinksi was thrown against the front seat of the machine when it landed in the water. Kramer Fishes Out Robe. One of the robes from the wrecked car was fished from the river near the place where Napizinski’s body was found some time later. John Kramer, shortly after six while watching the searchers for the body of Miss Fetzer on the river dropped a line into the river and within a few feet of the dock hooked something. It was at first thought that Kramer had located the body but when the line was pulled up it was ? to a robe. Others Not Hurt. Volin and Miss Scott who were rescued after the accident were not hurt, Miss Scott sustaining a slight abrasion on the face and a bruise on the limb, neither injury being serious. Volin was bruised about the body, probably through being thrown against the steering wheel when he was pitched from the machine as it plunged downward. Planned Milwaukee Visit. Miss Fetzer, whose body has not been recovered, had planned a visit to Milwaukee for the weekend and was to have been a guest at the home of Judge and Mrs. John Karel in that city. The Karels are old friends of the Fetzer family and Miss Fetzer had planned to spend her birthday anniversary, which occurs Saturday, at the Karel home. Kirst Deeply Grieved. Charles Kirst, Two Rivers druggist, in whose employ the Napizinski youth had been for several years, was here yesterday to aid in the search for the body and its removal to Two Rivers. Mr. Kirst was deeply affected by the fate of Napizinski and puts high tribute to the character of the young man. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, May 23, 1918, Page 1
