KAREL SKARYVODA cemetery #44 Charles Skalivoda (sic) was taken to the hospital this morning. But little hope is entertained for his recovery. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, June 21, 1901, p. 1 ******** The funeral services on the late Charles Skalivoda will take place Sunday afternoon at two o’clock from Frazier’s hall. John Nespor will conduct the services. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, June 28, 1901, p. 1 ********* From Der Nord Westen, 04 July 1901: Death in a local hospital on Thurs. last week of 27-yr. old Charles Skalivoda(sic) of consumption. The deceased was a stranger in our city. His parents live in Denver, Colorado. ********* CASE IS SOON FINISHED Sisters to Get Property Left by Brother Lost to Them Since Their Childhood ESTATE IS WORTH ONLY $1300 Dying Wishes of Chas. Skarivoda to Be Respected— Settlement to be Made on December 30 Two sisters for whom he had conducted a fruitless search for twenty three years will receive the property of the deceased Charles Skarivoda by a final settlement of the estate which is to be effected in Probate court December 30th and with the proceedings will end one of the most interesting cases that has come to the attention of the Manitowoc County courts in many years. Since the death of Skarivoda, which occurred June 27th, 1901, proceedings in the court have been delayed by difficulties in establishing the identity of two women in Montana and that this is accomplished makes possible the distribution of the small property that was bequeathed by the man who confident that the sisters from whom he parted in 1877 still lived, refused to will his property away. History of the Skarivoda case dates back to 1877 when the family of four children, two brothers and two sisters became separated by the death of their father in Denver, the boys coming to Wisconsin and the girls remaining in the West. The youth of the ? happenings caused them to lose trace of each other and although in later years the brothers sought to locate the sisters the search was without reward. One sister, Vlasta, was adopted by the name of Crout and some years after removed to Bozeman, Mont., with Mr. and Mrs. C. Frazier, whose name she took. The other sister married in the course of time and is now Mrs. A.E. Reynolds, of Saratago, Wyo. Both have established their identity and will inherit under the decision of the Court. The property which is to be divided is the estate of Charles Skarivoda who, upon his arrival here in 1878 made his home with an uncle at Francis Creek. Grown to manhood’s estate, he instituted a search for his lost sisters, and spent several years in the effort, until his health failed him. During his last illness he was cared for at the Holy Family hospital and in June 1901, he died, firm in the belief that his sisters still lived. For this reason and in the hope that they might be located, he refused to the last to make a will disposing of the property which he owned. His brother John Skarivoda resides in the city and if the other children were not discovered would inherit the estate in time, but the dead man’s wish was that the search be continued. The investigations begun by him were taken up by a cousin in Chicago and success crowned the work a short time after the brother had passed away. Little remains for the Court to do in the settlement to be made December 30. The identity of the sisters has been acknowledged. The division of the property will be made between the three heirs, the brother here, receiving a share. Person property and real estate valued to $1300 comprises the estate. It is not probable that either of the sisters will be here, attorneys representing them.

AXEL SKILD cemetery #44 BROTHER OF CHICAGO MAN WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE HERE, PLACES MARKER OVER GRAVE Arvid Skild, North Dakota, Says Dead Brother Was Employed in this City Back in 1911 and Believes He Planned Suicide at Chicago Before Coming Here Arvid Skild, of North Dakota, a brother of Axel Skild, the Chicago man who committed suicide in the woods a few miles from the city three weeks ago, and whose body was buried here last week when no word was received from relatives, arrived in the city last evening and today placed an order for a marker to be erected over the grave of the dead man. Although Coroner Falge of this city advised the Danish consul and the coroner at Chicago of the death of Axel Skild when the body was found three weeks ago today. Mr. Skild said that he learned of the death only this week his information being received from the Chicago police who had been requested by Dr. Falge to seek information of the dead man after no response had been received from the Danish consul and coroner. Mr. Skild was inclined to criticise the counsul for not informing him of the message from here. Suicide Was Premeditated Mr. Skild said today that he belived his brother had premeditated suicide and planned his end before he left Chicago Nov. 18. He said that his belief was based upon facts he had learned at the rooming house where the dead man made his home in that city. It had been Skild's practice to take a shower bath every morning but on the morning he left Chicago he omitted this and when reminded of the fact, remarked, "I won't need any more baths." Once Employed Here According to Skild, his brother was formerly employed in this city, having worked for Pfeffer & Fuller in 1911 on dock work here and he believed that this was what led him to come here to end his life. The dead man had been here about eight days when his body was found, with $200 on his person. Sent Mother $100 One of the last acts of the suicide before leaving Chicago was to send his mother in Denmark $100. He evidently retained $200 to cover expenses of his burial, said his brother. The dead man was a free thinker and his brother is of the opinion that he was mentally unbalanced when he ended his life. Dead Man Was 26 The dead man was 26 years of age and a machinist by trade. He came to America in 1911 and shortly after was employed here. His brother is 24 and has been working in the wheat field of North Dakota during the summer. Besides the brother, the dead man is survived by two sisters in Kansas. Will Get Effects About $100 remaining from the money found on the person of the suicide, the funeral expenses and cost of a lot having been paid from it, will be turned over to the brother by Coroner Falge. Left Work Without Notice That Skild, when he came here, left his work at the Drexel Motor Car Co. shops without notice to his employers was evidenced by a letter which his brother found at the Chicago rooms of the dead man. The letter, dated Dec. 7, said that the company was anxious to hear from Skild as to his intentions as he had failed to report for several weeks.
