CONRAD E. PATZER   cemetery #44

PROF. C.E. PATZER
A life-time of activity devoted to the betterment and advancement of 
educational standards in Wisconsin was brought to a close at Milwaukee 
yesterday with the sudden, unexpected death of Professor C.E. Patzer. 
(Photo)
From the time he attanded the schools of Two Rivers until he reached an 
apex of an unusual career against odds seemingly overwhelming, Professor 
Patzer was an outstanding leader in educational circles of the state and 
many of the recent reforms in the system of teaching and in the standards 
of the profession are directly chargeable to him. Largely self-taught, 
the professor-author was regarded as one of the outstanding authorities 
among pedagogues of Wisconsin.
Outstanding accomplishments in his campaign to raise the standards of the 
profession of which he was a shining example include his nine years of 
activity as chairman of the legislative committee of the state teachers' 
colleges, his championing of the rural normal schools for county teachers 
and his successful direction of the law creating the county normals and 
the state education law of 1912.
As late as 1930, Mr. Patzer appeared before the Wisconsin legislature to 
urge the county boards of education succeed to the functions and duties 
of district boards which he declared to be overlapping and in contra-
vention of the state's motto of "Forward." He was a notable authority on 
rural education and in recent years was an active advocate of reforms in 
the system of teacher-training at the University of Wisconsin.
A contributor to national magazines on educational subjects, Mr. Putzer 
described the results of his researches in a book entitled "Public Education 
in Wisconsin" and he was also the author of several text books on methods 
of instruction.
He was a native of Manitowoc county, born in the city of Two Rivers and 
spending much of his early manhood in Manitowoc county-a county to which 
he returns in death. He will be buried Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock 
from the home of his nephew, Max Rahr, Jr., at 1623 Clark street.

EDWARD PATZER   cemetery #44

DEATH CLAIMS E.C.. PATZER, WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN AT MILWAUKEE
Though Home Was at Milwaukee in Late Years He Has Spent Much Time 
Here—Was Son of C.E. Patzer, Former Resident
Edward C. Patzer, son of Prof. and Mrs. Conrad Patzer of Milwaukee, 
former residents of this city, died at the home of his parents in 
Milwaukee, Saturday evening from pneumonia and heart failure, the 
news received here Sunday coming as a shock to a large circle of 
friends of the young man, who during the past two years, had spent 
much of his time in this city. Mr. Patzer left here about a month 
ago for Milwaukee and had been confined to his bed for only one 
week, when death came. The body will be brought here and funeral 
services will be held from the home of William Rahr, Sr., Tuesday 
afternoon at two o’clock. The local lodge of Elks, of which Mr. 
Patzer was a member, will attend the service. 
Mr. Patzer was born in this city 26 years ago, his father being 
former principal of the First ward school. He was educated in the 
local schools and removed to Milwaukee with his parents. Later he 
engaged in the insurance and bond business and during his later 
residence here the past two years had represented the Northwestern 
and other insurance companies and the Chicago Bonding company. He 
was popular in social circles and had a wide acquaintance. Mr. 
Patzer is survived by his parents at Milwaukee and one sister, Mrs. 
Castle of Port Washington. His death is believed may be traced to 
rheumatism which he contracted while serving with Troop A of 
Milwaukee at Camp Douglas. 
He enlisted in the cavalry but was later discharged on the grounds 
of disability. The death of Mr. Patzer will be sincerely mourned 
by a large circle of friends.

HUSHED IN LAST SLEEP
Treacherous Waters of the River Claim Another Young Life
WALTER POLZIEN, AGED 22
Unable to Swim He Gets Beyond His Depth and Drowns Before Eyes 
of a Friend—A Sad Occurrence 
Beneath the treacherous waters another young life has been hushed 
into the last long sleep and an aged father’s heart has been crushed 
in the robbery of its most precious possession by the relentless 
river, which bore his cherished son from the pleasures of life into 
the mysteries of the great unknown hereafter. Walter Polzien, a well 
known young man of the city, was the victim of the fatality which 
occurred Sunday afternoon. Polzien and a friend, Fred Thurston, had, 
with a party of friends, been spending several hours in a grove near 
the cemetery and late in the day decided to take a bath in the river. 
Polzien was unable to swim, but his friend was not aware of this fact, 
having never been informed. Thurston entered the water first and 
enjoyed the sport for some time before Polzien ventured to wade out. 
The other left the water soon after the young man entered and proceeded 
to dress himself while watching his friend splashing about. It is 
thought that Polzien ventured beyond his depth for a of a sudden he 
disappeared and although Thurston waited some time the bather failed 
to appear and it became evident that something was amiss. 
It was about six o’clock in the evening and Thurston at once reported 
the matter at police headquarters. Officer Sniffins with assistance, 
recovered the body at about 8:25 and it was carried to the home, but 
a short distance from where the sad happening occurred. Coroner Luhman 
viewed the remains and justice H.L. Markham empanelled the following 
jury: E.L. Chloupek, Gustave Fraze, Jos. Wall, Jos. Stanchek, W.F. 
Brandt and F. Heyroth. The inquest was adjourned until 8 o’clock this 
morning at which time the verdict returned was “That he came to death 
by accidental drowning in the Manitowoc river, near Evergreen cemetery, 
on August 5, 1900 at about 6 o’clock.” 
At the inquest a number of witnesses were sworn and it developed that 
Polzien and Thurston had been together all afternoon. They had been 
drinking some, but neither was under the influence of liquor. Polzien 
was not a drinking man in the usual acceptance of the term. He had a 
desire to go bathing all day and when he finally did, the result was 
the fatality chronicled above. Thurston testified that at first when 
Polzien failed to appear he believed that he was swimming under water, 
but the father of the boy stated that his son was unable to swim. The 
unfortunate young man was a son of August Polzien and was 22 years of 
age. He was an industrious and hard worker, the mainstay in the support 
of his father on whom the shock of sudden death falls heavily, all the 
more so in that it is little more than three months ago that the boy’s 
mother was laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery. Besides the father, one 
brother and two sisters survive to mourn him. The sisters are Mrs. Louis 
Olson, of this city, and Mrs. George La Counte, of Forest Junction. The 
funeral will be held from the late home tomorrow afternoon.

ALFRED AND MARY PAUTZ   cemetery #17

MARIBEL COUPLE FOUND DEAD IN CAR
OVERCOME BY MONOXIDE GAS, LOCKED IN CAR
Sad Fate Overtakes Alfred Pautz and Bride of Few Months Sunday
Deadly carbon monoxide is believed to have been responsible for the 
tragedy which early Sunday morning snuffed out the lives of Alfred 
Pautz and his wife Mayme, bridal pair of six months who were found 
dead in their Ford coupe on a road near West Kewaunee, Kewaunee 
county. The couple resided near Maribel, this county, where they are 
well known. A double funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the 
home of William Pautz rural route one of Denmark, where the bodies of 
the two victims were taken yesterday after Kewaunee county authorities 
had decided that no inquest was necessary and that death was due to 
gas poisoning. The funeral services will be held from the Maribel church, 
the Rev. Kloska officiating. 
Car Stalled, Death. 
Mr. and Mrs. Pautz who since their marriage on June 25 last year had 
made their home with the husband’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Pautz 
near the Manitowoc county line, left there a week ago to visit with Mrs. 
Pautz’s mother, Mrs. F. Vlasck in Kewaunee county. Last Saturday the 
couple decided to go to Krok for a visit with an aunt there and it was 
while enroute there that the tragedy overtook them. The automobile, with 
lights on and the engine running, was discovered on the highway off the 
main road, near the farm of August Karl, six miles from Kewaunee, Sunday 
morning. Investigation revealed the presence in the car of two persons, 
both apparently asleep or dead and when efforts to open the door of the 
machine failed a call was dispatched to the authorities at Kewaunee. The 
district attorney and sheriff, arriving 35 minutes later, broke the glass 
in the door of the car and it was found that Pautz and his wife were dead, 
although apparently death had resulted but a short time previously. Every 
effort to revive the two failed and the bodies were removed to the Karl 
home and later taken to the Pautz home near Maribel. 
In Snow All Night. 
Mr. Karl near whose farm the car was found, said that he had heard the 
engine of the machine running late Saturday night and that lights were 
burning on the car. Later near midnight, when he was again out doors, 
he saw the car on the road but the engine was quiet and no lights were 
burning and he thought the machine becoming stalled, had been left by 
its owner until morning. In the early morning, however when sons of Mr. 
Karl left the house they heard the engine of the car and stated that the 
lights were burning. When the machine did not leave the spot where it was 
discovered, the Karls made their way to the scene to investigate and it 
was then that the discovery of the plight of the unfortunate occupants 
was learned. When an effort was made to open the door of the car, it was 
found that the handle had been broken off and the other door was locked 
from the inside. No response to their repeated rappings and calls being 
received, it was decided to notify the authorities at Kewaunee and upon 
their arrival the death of the two in the automobile was established. 
Theory of Officers. 
It is the theory of the officers that Pautz and his wife became stalled 
on the road late Saturday night, and that when Pautz found it impossible 
to proceed the couple had decided to remain in the car for the night and 
attempt to continue their journey in the morning. The fact that death had 
ensued but a short time before the bodies were found supports the belief 
that after spending the night in the coupe, Pautz had succeeded in starting 
the car but the two had been overcome by monoxide poisoning while endeavoring 
to get the automobile going. 
Near Destination at Time.  
Mr. and Mrs. Pautz were within a mile and one half of their destination, 
the home of the aunt at Krok, when their car stalled. The location is a 
side road off the main highway near West Kewaunee and about six miles from 
the city of Kewaunee. The Kewaunee county district attorney said today that 
there was no explanation of the double tragedy except that of poisoning 
from carbon monoxide. 
Pautz 21, Wife 19. 
Pautz, a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Pautz, was 21 years of age while his 
wife, who previous to her marriage was Mayme Melera, of Carlton, was 19, 
having reached this age on February 4, this year. Pautz is survived by his 
parents and two brothers, Aaron and Edward, both at home while Mrs. Pautz 
leaves her mother, Mrs. Vlasek of Ellsville and three sisters, Mrs. Wesley, 
Manitowoc, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Martin, residents of Kewaunee county. The 
funeral at Maribel tomorrow will be a double one with the bodies of the two 
laid side by side in the same grave. The tragedy has cast a pall over the 
section where the young couple were well known and popular.

CHARLES PAUTZ   cemetery #44

From the Manitowoc County Chronicle Two Rivers Wisconsin, June 1875:
We learn of a singular accident which occurred to a young man named Charles
Pautz.  For some time he has been at work near Appleton, and last Friday
while walking along the road asked of a passing farmer the privilege of a
ride.  It was granted him, and he soon seated himself on a board and the 
farmer drove on.  While going on a somewhat rapid rate the wagon struck a 
stump or stone, and the young man was lifted up from the seat, by the force
of the concussion, and came down again with such force as to cause internal
injuries which ended in his death.  He was brought home here last Saturday
and was buried Sunday, a large number of friends attending his funeral.

WALTER PAVLOWICH   cemetery #44

KILLED AS CAR PLUNGES FROM BRIDGE
W. PAVLOWICH MEETS DEATH THIS MORNING
Misses Curve at Twenty-first Street Bridge and Plunges to River Bottom
Missing the turn at the approach of the Twenty-first street bridge while 
en route to his home shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, Walter Pavlowich, 
40-year-old local soft drink establishment owner, and the father of four 
children, plunged to his death when his automobile went throught the flimsy 
protective railing and dropped into the river, about 20 feet below. Death is 
believed to have been practically instantaneous and may have been caused by 
the blow which he sustained when the car went into the river or may have been 
caused by drowning.
Frank and Henry Pozorski, South side residents, were fishing at the bridge 
at the time and summoned police aid and other help but it was nearly an hour 
before Pavlowich could be removed from his automobile, part of which was 
above the surface at the time as the water is extremely shallow at the point. 
In order to remove the man from the car it was necessary to break a window 
and release him in that manner.
Was En Route Home
Pavlowich, a resident of Manitowoc for about six years following his removal 
from Green Bay, was employed at the shipyards prior to his assuming management 
of the former Wergin establishemnt at 1502 Madison street on July 1 of last 
year. He had been on duty at his place last night and after closing early this 
morning was on his way home when the fatal accident occurred. He was driving 
north and had barely reached the south approach of the bridge when he either 
failed to remember the curve or did not see it and continued on the straight 
route to the west.
About 20 feet of protective railing was torn away as the car plunged over the 
side of the bridge to land on its four wheels in the river below. The rear 
end of the car was above the water and Pavlowich, had he not apparently been 
knocked unconscious or been killed in the fall, would have been able to save 
himself by getting into the rear of the car.
May Have Died in Fall
Presence of a scar on the forehead of Pavlowich led to the belief that the 
man may have been killed in his fall and did not meet his death by drowning. 
Authorities who worked to recover the man's body realized that it would be 
impossible to restore life and the man was declared to be dead when Coroner 
W.G. Kemper arrived at the scene shortly after four o'clock.
No inquest into the cause of death will be conducted by the county authorities 
as the case was obviously an accident.
Born in Kewaunee County
Pavlowich was born in Kewaukee county on March 10, 1891 and moved to Manitowoc 
six yars ago. Immediate survivors include his widow, nee Priscilla Bomski; four 
children Norbert, Alvin, Clifford and Arnold, all at home; four brothers, Victor 
in S. Dakota; Wencil, Adam and Jack of Green Bay; a sister, Mrs. Martha Kluceski, 
Green Bay and his father Michael Pavlowich of Green Bay.
Funeral services will be held from the Sacred Heart church Tuesday morning at 
9 o'clock after private services at the Shimek and Schwartz Mortuary on N. 
Eighth street and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery. The funeral home will 
be opened between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m. and 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday 
to permit friends to view the remains.
