NORA REMIKER  (Mrs. John)   cemetery #55

On Friday evening of last week, Mrs. John Remiker passed away at 
her home here after an illness of several weeks. The best of care 
and medical attendance were administered to her but they proved to 
be of no avail and on Friday evening about 4:30 o’clock with the 
members of her family at her bedside, her life work was finished 
and the soul began its Journey on the pathway to the Great Beyond. 
The news of her death was received with sorrow and the expressions 
of sympathy for the bereaved husband and children were many and 
from the heart. 
The silver cord is severed, the golden bowl is broken, the dust has 
returned to the earth as it was; the spirit has returned to the God 
who gave it. Her death at the noonday of life is to be sincerely 
regretted. 
Mrs. Remiker, previous to her marriage was Miss Nora Mangin. She 
is survived by her husband and two children, Raymond and Mary; 
her father, Paul Mangin Sr.; four sisters and three brothers. Her 
popularity and appreciation for her kind deeds was shown by the 
concourse of people who assembled at her residence and escorted 
her remains to their final resting place, despite the inclement 
condition of the weather. 
The funeral was held Monday morning from St. Patrick’s church. 
Requiem high mass was celebrated by the Rev. George Casey, pastor 
of the church. The pallbearers were John Doolan, Peter Falvey, 
James O’Hearn, Joseph Phillip, Joseph Remiker and James Rolland. 
The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is extended to the 
grief stricken family in their hour of affliction.

RUDOLPH REMMER   cemetery #44

UNKNOWN DEAD MAN KILLED IN FALL IS IDENTIFIED
VICTIM OF CLEVELAND ? IDENTIFIED AS RUDOLPH REMNER, MILWAUKEE, 
BODY MAY BE CLAIMED BY FAMILY
Identity of the man who died at the hospital in this city yesterday from 
injuries which he sustained in an accident at Cleveland Monday night when 
he fell from the roof of a building while engaged in cleaning a chimney, 
has been established, though no relatives have yet been located. 
Information has been received by L.A. Schmitz, of the county board’s poor 
committee, that the man is Rudolph Remer, the information having been 
obtained at Clover where the man is said to have spent some time lately. 
Residents there, who knew the man, have been asked to view the body here 
to make certain the identification. Remer, according to reports made to 
Mr. Schmitz, had been at Clover and in that vicinity for several weeks 
and left there Sunday or Monday, presumably on his way to Milwaukee, 
which is believed to be his home. 
One report says that the man is a resident of Sheboygan. The man’s face 
was so badly disfigured in the accident that positive identification will 
be a hard matter but Clover people are certain that the dead man is Remner. 
The body is at the Frazier undertaking rooms and is to be held while an 
effort is made to locate relatives in Milwaukee.

PAULINE RENIER   cemetery #89B

Mrs. Louis Remer(sic), a Two Rivers woman died suddenly a short 
time after returning from the cemetery where she had been to place 
flowers on the grave of a relative. She was stricken by an attack 
of heart failure soon after her return home and died a few hours 
later. She was 72 years of age.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, May 19, 1917, Page 3
********
I believe this is Mrs. Louis Renier (Pauline Renier) on the 1900
census for Two Rivers is listed Louis Rienier b. 1842 age 58 yrs.,
his wife Paulina Rienier b. 1846 age 54 yrs.
I also believe the tombstone reading has a typo in the b. year.
Instead of 1815 it should read 1845. Otherwise she would have been 
98 at her death and the obit says age 72 which makes her born in 1845.

of the county, born at Centerville July 23, 1863 and had spent his life 
in this vicinity. He attended the county schools and later was employed 
with the North Western Railway company and it was while with the company

he had been seriously ill for only about two weeks. He had been in failing 
health for months but only within the past two weeks had he been forced 
to give up his work and his decline in the last weeks was rapid.

VACLAV REZAC   cemetery #44

11 YEAR OLD BOY IS THIRD RIVER VICTIM
WENCEL REZACH, AN ONLY SON, DIES AT NOON
Two Companions on Crabbing Trip Flee From Scene; Efforts To Revive Are Futile
A third river tragedy of the present season shortly before noon today claimed 
the life of 11 year old Wencel Rezach, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph 
Rezach, 709 South Fifteenth street, and a student in the sixth grade of the 
Garfield school.
Young Rezach fell to his death into the river while he was seated along the 
docks near the Wisconsin Public Service Corporation plant on the upper river 
and although he was taken from the river within ten minutes life was extinct. 
He and two companions were out catching crabs and three of them were about the 
docks when Razach was seen to fall headlong into the river. His two companions 
fled from the scene in terror before their names could be secured.
Dive for Body
The ???ll of the boy was seen by C.J. Virgin, in charge of one of the Northwestern 
crews at work near the scene, and by the crane operator of the Wisconsin Public 
Service corporation and the alarm was immediately sounded. They reported that the 
boy came to the surface twice and was seen no more. When news of the tragedy 
reached the power plant at about 11:40 a.m., Frank Musial, a company employe, 
left his work and dove for the body with Lon Medley, recovering it only a few feet 
from where he had gone down.
While Dr. R.W. Hammond was being summoned, rescue crews of the Wisconsin Public 
Service corporation applied the prone method of artificial respiration but they 
failed to revive the boy. After the doctor worked upon him for an hour without 
any sign of heart action being noted he pronounced him dead but the crew of the 
corporation continued their efforts without halting in the hope that the spark 
of life might be restored.
Arrangements Not Completed
Details of the boy's life could not be secured from the grief-stricken parents and 
funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. Annoucement of the time of the 
funeral and details regarding the boy's life will be published tomorrow.
The river had previously caused the death of two persons, a young North Side lad of 
nine years and a young West Side man being recovered from the river several weeks 
ago.
The body was turned over to the Wattawa and Urbanek Undertaking establishment by 
the parents.
