WALTER J. NOWAK cemetery #43a Three Local Men Killed as Auto Crashes Freight Train Fourth Is Seriously Injured In Accident At Bellevue, Brown County Three Manitowoc men lost their lives and a fourth was seriously injured early this morning in an automobile-freight collision at Bellevue, Brown county, as they were returning from a district meeting of the Eagles at Green Bay. Hugo Butz, 54, of 1212 South 16th street, prominent in Eagles activities, employe of the city street department. John Daron, 53, of 1601 Washington street, for 27 years the inner guard of the Eagles aerie here, employed at the Kingsbury Breweries company. Walter J. Novak, 50, of 1013 South 23rd street, employe of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company. Injured: Henry Vogt, 32, of 1912 South 14th street, owner of the car, who suffered a fractured leg and possible internal injuries. Butz and Novak were almost instantly killed. Daron died shortly after 9 a.m. today in a Green Bay hospital. Vogt is expected to live, physicians said. Butz, Vogt and Daron were members of the Eagles degree team which took part last night in a district meeting held in Green Bay in honor of John A. Abel, national president of the Eagles. William Kustka, 1112 Manila street, also a member of the degree team, was to drive to the meeting with Vogt but at the last moment made other arrangements and so escaped the accident. At 1:50 A.M. The crash occurred at the railroad crossing in Bellevue on Highway 141 at 1:50 this morning when the car smashed into the front end of a Chicago and North Western freight engine as the train was pulling from a siding onto the main track on its way to Green Bay. Engineer Joe Petroski, pilot of the freight train, said he saw the automobile approaching the crossing when it was a block away. He set his whistle and emergency brakes, he said, and the train stopped almost as the crash occurred. The car crashed into the front end of the locomotive, bending the cow-catcher. The front of the automobile was telescoped, and the motor completely crushed and pushed into the front seat. The freight train, No. 169, had been waiting on the siding for No. 212. The freight was late on its northen run because it was held up in Manitowoc waiting for a ferry. As the machine hit the train Vogt, who apparently was driving, was thrown out the left side of the car and under the train. Wheels of the train, however, did not pass over him. Daron was thrown out on the pavement on the right side of the car. Inquest Planned Butz and Novak were in the back seat when authorities arrived. Both were apparently living when they were taken from the car but were pronounced dead upon entry to a Green Bay hospital. Daron, who suffered critical head and internal injuries, was given little chance to live when doctors examined him and died several hours later. "The car appeared to pick up speed between the point where I first saw it, coming around a curve, and the railroad crossing." Engineer Petroski told authorities. "It hit the right front corner of the locomotive." The car was against the train, facing south, as the freight came to a stop. Coroner Orlan Miller of Brown county, said he was making plans for an inquest into the cause of the three deaths. The tragedy early today is not to interfere with the Eagles meeting at the clubrooms tonight, according to President William Kustka. The speaker will be John A. Abel of Marion, Ohio, grand worthy president of the order, who spoke last night at Green Bay. The meeting will be confined, however, to the speaking program. Butz Rites Saturday Hugo Buts, 54, a past worthy president of the Manitowoc aerie of Eagles, was born in this city in 1885, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Engel- (Continued on Page 18, Col. 5) (Continued from Page 1) bert Butz, and always resided here with the exception of two years spent at Grand Rapids, Mich.

KNUT NYHAGEN Cemetery #44 From the Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday July 27, 1899: Knut G. Nyhagen of this city died on Sunday morning of last week of typhoid fever which he contracted about two weeks before. He was engaged in superintending work on the Christopher Columbus which was not completed when she left and he went on her to Chicago where he was taken sick. His case was not considered serious until near the last as the fever was not violent. His stomach was not strong and after the fever quit him he was unable to retain food. Mr. Nyhagen was born in Valders, Norway, March 3, 1846. He came to this country in 1867 and soon after located at Manitowoc where he learned his trade. He was a skilled mechanic and always commanded a large salary. His services were always sought for any particularly fine work in the better class of residences, and the finer class of work in the cabins of the Goodrich boats was always done under his supervision. He was recognized everywhere as pre-eminent in his line of business. He was interested at various times in vessel property and had interests in other lines of business. He was married 27 years ago to Miss Mary Olson whom he leaves a widow. There are nine children. Mr. Nyhagen was a man whom it was always a pleasure to meet. He had the cheerfulness of a strong, resolute man and the honesty of an industrious man. He was a genial companion and always saw the good in human nature. He was liberal in his views, public spirited and a gentleman by virtue of his manhood which was cast in a generous mould. His strong, rugged face was an index to his character and always won that confidence which every act of his justified. His funeral took place on Tuesday. Burger & Burger closed their ship yard for the day in respect for the memory of the man whom they knew so well and honored because they did know him. ******** [cause: typhoid fever]
