Frolic has a Sad Ending

Little son of ex-alder
John Panowitz of Two Rivers Probably Fatally Burned by Playing with Bonfire

With his clothing in flames and his pitiful screams for help arousing  every one, 
a little 8 year old son of ex-ald. John Panowitz of Two Rivers ran for a block to 
his home, and before assistance could extinguish the flames the boy's body and neck 
had been badly burned and he had inhaled smoke and flames that make his condition 
well nigh hopeless. The accident happened about one o'clock Sunday afternoon on 
Division Street in Two Rivers, where young Panowitz in the company with a number 
of other lads was busied in building a small bon fire in the street.
It all happened so quickly that those who saw the occurrence have no clear recollection 
of just how the unfortunate lad's clothing caught fire. It is believed that while 
lighting matches to start the blaze the lad carelessly allowed the flames to catch 
his clothing. Instead of calling on his companions for aid the frightened boy started 
to run to his home nearly a block distant. There was a strong wind blowing at the time 
and fanned by this the clothes of the boy burned rapidly and when assistance finally 
put out the blaze young Panowitz was suffering in terrible agony.

had already suffered severe burns. Drs. Currens and Christensen

ADAM PFEIFER   cemetery #89A

From Der Nord Westen, 27 Sept. 1894: 
Adam Pfeifer, a 72 yr. old resident of Two Rivers, intended to 
travel to Newton Sat. morning to attend a wedding. He took the 
8 o’clock morning train from Manitowoc, but because he was totally 
deaf, he missed the announcement for the Newton Station stop and 
traveled on to Cleveland. There he got off and started back toward 
Newton on foot. He had traveled several miles along the track as 
the northbound express train approached. The engineer gave the 
warning signal, but naturally Pfeifer didn’t hear. When the engineer 
saw that his warning signal had not taken effect, he hit the brakes 
so hard that the passengers were thrown from their seats, but it was 
too late. The cowcatcher hit the unlucky man and threw him to the side. 
When the train came to a stop and the poor individual was reached, he 
was already dead. An inquest was held and the coroner’s jury found the 
locomotive engineer to be blameless. The body was then brought back to 
Two Rivers.
