ARTHUR SCHMATZ cemetery #7 MANITOWOC MAN FOUND DEAD AT NEWPORT NEWS, VA. Message Tells of Death of Arthur Schmatz, Branch Man, Who Left Here on U.S. Boat Surveyor Messages received here last night brought news of the death of Arthur Schmatz, a Branch man at Newport News, Va., where he was serving aboard the steamer Bulgaria, recently taken over by the United States Government. The body will be shipped to this city and taken to Branch for burial next week. The message intimated that there may be a mystery in the death of Schmatz, the dispatch giving no details except that Schmatz had been found dead. Whether the man was a victim of foul play, assault or died a natural death, is not known. Recent letters received from him said that he was enjoying good health and he was not known to be afflicted with heart trouble or other ailments that might cause sudden death. Schmatz, who was 24 years of age, left here on the U.S. steamer Surveyor several weeks ago, as an oiler. He was later sent to Newport News and had been located there for some time, employed on the Bulgaria. The dead youth was a son of Frank Schmatz, a well known farmer at Branch and up to the time of his departure on the Surveyor had made his home at Branch and in this city. Messages have been dispatched to Newport to have the body sent here and the funeral will be held at Whitelaw.

The body of the dead youth reached here at 8 last night and was taken to the undertaking rooms of Urbanek and Wattawa for preparation for burial and will be taken to Branch today and burial will be held at Whitelaw tomorrow. Accompanying the body was a report from officers of the boat which said that Schmatz had been killed instantly in the fall. The accident happened at 4 o’clock Friday morning and the parents of Schmatz were notified at once that the body would be shipped here. Schmatz was 24 years of age and left here several weeks ago aboard the U.S. Steamer Surveyor, later being transferred to the Bulgaria which was taken over by the government.

CLARENCE SCHMATZ cemetery #7 Child Drowned Little Son Of Frank Snatz Falls in Water Tank. SPECIAL TO THE HERALD: Branch, Wis, July 31 - Little Son of Frank Snatz (Schmatz) Falls in Water Tank The little three year old son of Frank Snatz(sic), living one mile west of this village, while playing on the water tank which is used to water stock on his father’s farm, fell headlong into the receptacle and when found, was drowned. The little fellow’s cry was heard by the parents and hired help who rushed to his assistance as soon as they could reach the spot where the fatality occurred, but all efforts of resuscitation were in vain, as life was already extinct. It was the habit of the boy to sit on the edge of the tank and sail miniature ships on the water which at most times was but one or two feet in depth. On this occasion however, the tank had been recently filled preparatory to watering the stock, and the boy as was his wont, took his accustomed place and seemed oblivious to the danger. It is not known how he was precipitated into the water but it is thought he lost his equilibrium while reaching for his playthings and fell. The child was a bright little fellow and the pride of his parents who are frantic with grief, the mother especially taking it greatly to hear, refusing to be comforted.
