EDWARD JAMES SOIK cemetery #89A DEATH OF DR. SOIK SHOCKS CITY OF TWO RIVERS HEART ATTACK PROVES FATAL TO LOCAL MAN Prominent Dentist Succumbs At 5 A.M., Today After Sudden Attack Two Rivers was startled today by the sudden death of Dr. E.J. Soik, who succombed to a sudden heart attack at his home this morning at 5 o'clock. Dr. Soik, leading dentist and prominent in civic affairs for more than 30 years, was 58 years old. Dr. Soik was apparently in good health early last evening. He dropped in for a time at the home of Dr. A.V. Delmore, where a meeting of the county dentists was held to discuss plans for the new charitable children's dental clinic, opened this week, expressing regret that he could not stay longer. After that he went to a bridge party at the home of Ralph Scheuer, which did not break up until nearly 1 o'clock in the morning. (Photo) Upon returning home Dr. Soik complained of a pain in his arm which grew more intense, preventing him from sleeping, and finally early today asked Mrs. Soik to send for Dr. Alfred Zlatnik. In the meantime he had left his bed, and was seated in the living room when he complained of dizziness, and collapsed in his cair. Dr. Zlatnik arrived a few minutes later to find him beyond medical aid. Funeral arrangements are as yet incomplete. Born at Berlin Dr. Edward J. Soik was born in Berlin, Wis., Feb. 26, 1875, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Soik, both of whom preceded him in death. He was educated in the city schools of Berlin, graduating from Berlin high school in 1893. Thereafter he entered the dental school of Northwestern University, graduating with the class of 1898, and establishing his practice in Two Rivers the following year. Dr. Soik married Miss Mabel Graves of Berlin, a clssmate at high school, in 1899, and together they founded a home in this city, which became a center of social life and activity. Dr. Soik rapidly developed a substantial practice, and identified himself actively with the affairs of the community. Dr. Soik was a leader in busines as well as community affairs. He was one of the founders, with H.C. Gowran, of the American Cabinet company, now a part of the Hamilton Mfg. Co. Dr. Soik aided in perfecting the orginal dental cabinet designs for the company, which were first purchased from the Hamilton plant before the company was taken over by the latter company as a subsidiary. Founder of Company Dr. Soik was also founder and first president of the Aluminum Sign Company, now the Leyse Aluminum Co. of Kewaunee. In this he was associated with Albert Leyse, now head of the Kewaunee company. The concern was removed to Kewaunee 25 years ago, after a three year existence in Two Rivers. He was also president of the Art Glass company. Actively interested in community affairs as well as his own personal concerns, Dr. Soik played a considerable part in the development of the Two Rivers school system. He was a member of the school board from 1915 to 1917, and again between 1923 and 1925. He was also much interested in the Municipal hospital, and went on the hospital board last spring. Monday night of this week he attended the council meeting to support the hospital budget when the city's fiscal plans for the coming year were discussed. Dr. Soik had state-wide recognition as a leader of his profession. He kept up with all modern developments of science, was a wide reader and close student of dentistry. He attended regularly the professional clinics at which new developments are demonstrated, and incorportated them in his practice. Although a general practitioner, he developed a specialist's skill in such new dental specialties as orthodontics, and kept his equipment and methods completely modern. Loved Out-of-Doors Dr. Soik loved the out-of-doors. He was a student of nature, and delighted in long vacation automobile trips, camping and picnicking, although not a devotee of any particular outdoor sport. To his intimates Dr. Soik was noted for his wide reading and broad intellectual interests. He was of an independent and inquiring turn of mind, delighting in political, economic or philosophic discussion, and possessed of a keen wit which made him a redoubtable antagonist in argument. He was particularly fond of children, and scores of them looked forward to visiting his dental office, where his companionable and understanding ways took all the fear out of dental treatment. Dr. Soik was a member of the Two Rivers Masonic lodge, a 32nd degree Mason, and belonged to the more advanced Masonic organizations in Mantiwooc. He was also a noble of the Mystic Shrine, a member of Tripoli Temple at Milwaukee. He was prominent in the Elks and Rotary organizations of the city. Helped Many He was deeply interested in the progress of Two Rivers, always to be counted upon to lend his weight and work to any enterprise for the good of the community. His professional services were freely at the disposal of charitable organizations. He was noted in the community for his particular interest in new buildings in the town. It was said of him that he never missed a day, during the construction of the Hamilton Community house, in going over the work that was being done, and he displayed a similar interest in other buildings in the city during their construction. Besides his widow, Dr. Soik is survived by a son and daughter, Mrs. Elton Laird of Waverly, Ia., and Edward Soik, a newspaper man of Auburn, N.Y. Both are now on their way to Two Rivers for the funeral, with Dr. Soik's sister, Miss Matta Soik of Milwaukke and his brother Leonard Soik, of Berlin. One grandchild, a daughter of Mrs. Laird, also survives. Manitowoc Herald Times, Manitowoc, Wis. Thursday, December 8, 1932 P. 11 MABEL SOIK cemetery #89A Widow Follows Dr. Soik In Death On Sunday GRIEF, FAILING HEALTH CAUSE OF HER DEATH Dies Few Days After That of Her Husband; Did Not Regain Consciousness Mrs. Mabel Soik, whose husband, Dr. E.J. Soik, died suddenly last week, followed him in death Sunday afternoon, shortly after a stroke of paralysis which induced a coma. Mrs. Soik passed away quietly about 2 o'clock, without regaining consciousness. Her death was laid to the shock and grief caused by the sudden death of her husband, although Mrs. Soik had borne up bravely (photo) during the funeral Saturday, and seemed fairly cheerful on Sunday morning as she discussed plans for the future with her children and friends. She had been in failing health, however, for a year previously, and was unable to withstand the blow of Dr. Soik's death. Her death immediately following that of her husband recalled to family and friends the wish often expressed by Dr. and Mrs. Soik, that neither might survive the other. They were noted for the closeness and harmony of their lives together, and Mrs. Soik's grieving friends today found a bit of consolation in the fact that she had been re-untied with her husband. Suffered No Pain Shortly after noon yesterday her daughter, Mrs. R. Eldon Laird, heard Mrs. Soik sobbing. She went downstairs at once to comfort her, and assisted her to a davenport, noting that her mother seemed to be losing control of her limbs on the left side, and to be having difficulty in speech. Mrs. Soik faded gradually into unconsciousness, from which the doctor was unable to revive her. She suffered no pain or shock. Funeral services will be held privately at the home, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, it was announced. Only members of the family and close friends will attend. The family requested that no flowers be sent. Sing Same Songs At the services, which will be conducted by Rev. T.A. Hawkes, Mrs. H.C. Gowran and Mrs. Charles F. Krause will sing the same songs which they rendered at the funeral of Dr. Soik on Saturday. Mrs. Soik was born in Berlin, Wis., December 25, 1876. Her maiden name was Mabel Graves, her parents being George and Harriet Graves of Berlin. Educated in the Berlin schools, she married her schoolmate, Dr. Soik, on June 6, 1899, the year in which he established his practice in Two Rivers. Her home had been here continuously since that time, and she became a social leader and well-known club worker in the community. Her home was always a center of social activity for a group of intimate friends of whom Dr. and Mrs. Soik were the leaders. Mrs. Soik was the last of her own family, her only sister having died two years ago. She leaves two children to mourn her death, Mrs. R. Eldon Laird of Waverly, and Edward G. Soik, of Auburn, N.Y. There are two grandchild, the children of Mrs. Laird. Mr. and Mrs. Laird and Mrs. and Mrs. Edward Soik, here for Dr. Soik's funeral, were with their mother when she passed away.

CLARA SONNTAG cemetery #89A From Der Nord Westen, 09 Jan. 1902: (From the correspondent in Two Rivers, 06 Jan.) Burial Sun. afternoon of the 38-yr. old daughter of Fritz Sonntag who had been crippled since childhood and never improved despite all efforts of the medical arts. ********* A BORN PARALYTIC PASSES AWAY. On the 22nd of April 1864 there was born to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sontag of this city a girl baby that came into the world a paralytic and remained a paralytic until its death, which took place last Thursday, after nearly 38 years of helpless, unconscious existence. Although it grew to be about the size of an eight year old child it never was anything more than an infant. In fact it was regarded and treated as an infant all its life and as an infant it was buried in a white coffin. Aside from a very slight movement of its head and of its hands, that were kept folded upon its breast, it was incapable of muscular movement. There was apparently never any mental development, although it gave forth a strange cry when in need of attention. Its whole life was spent in a cradle and it required the same attention and care that are given to infants. These were given it, though it never realized the sad burden it was upon its parents. But as the years rolled by there was no remitting of the care and solicitude of the parents and their affection for the unfortunate being never wavered. Indeed, when the mother died five years ago her only solicitude was for the care of the child that with her had always been ”the baby” and the sorrow of the father was as deep as it would have been were it one of his other children who had passed away. Few people in this city, outside of neighbors, knew of the existence of this strange being and it is much to the credit of Mr. and Mrs. Sontag that they cared for it as they did, when they could have legally been relieved of its care.
