DEATH VICTOR IN LAST BATTLE WAR VETERAN
Frank Wick, Sr., 86, Civil War Veteran, Hears Taps
Death has taken another from the ranks of the few surviving members of the

For five weeks he had been at the home of his son here, having been brought 
here from Milwaukee where since 1912 he had been making his home at the 
Veterans home.
Native of Austria
Mr. Wick was a native of Austria and born October 9, 1835. He came to America

with his son in this city and was on one of these furloughs when death claimed 
him.
Son Only Survivor
Frank Wick, Jr., the son is the only survivor of the decendent. Funeral

GEORGE WICK   cemetery #47

THE STRUGGLE IS O'ER
Young Man Accidentally Shot a Month Ago Dies of His Wounds
EDWARD(sic) WICK THE VICTIM
At An Early Hour To-Day, Death Ended His Sufferings-
Blood Poisoning The Cause of Death-A Brother's Grief
The struggle is o'er. For more than a month the battle twixt life 
and death has been bravely fought, with the scales evenly balanced 
until this morning, when the Grim Destroyer scored the victory and 
the summons relieved Edward Wick of earthly suffering. His death 
occurred at the Holy Family hospital and was due to blood poisoning. 
On the morning of Saturday, January 18th, two brothers, Frank and 
Edward Wick left their home near Silver Lake to spend the day hunting. 
One was destined to never return to the home in life. As the brothers 
were crossing a field, the older, Frank, carrying the gun, there was 
a report and Edward Wick fell to the ground. The gun had been 
accidentally discharged and the full contents entered the leg of the 
younger brother near the hip, inflicting a dangerous wound. The injured 
boy was brought to the city and cared for at the hospital. He seemed 
to be improving and physicians were sanguine of his recovery; but blood 
poisoning set in and despite everything that the best science could 
suggest, the chilling pall of death was placed on his brow and at an 
early hour to-day, he passed beyond the shadow. 
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wick, residing near Silver 
Lake and the grief of the parents knows no bounds. The brother, in 
whose hands the gun was at the time of the accidental discharge, is 
almost crazed and it is feared his mind may become unbalanced by the 
intense strain he labors under in the belief that he is responsible 
for the death. Edward Wick was 21 years of age and had spent all his 
brief life in and about the county. He was well known in the city and 
was a general favorite with all his associates. The funeral arrangements 
have not been made.

CAR FALLS IN RIVER, 6 DIE
Newlyweds, Father-in-Law And Three Children Drown
Car Fails To Negotiate Curve on Southwest Approach To 21st Street Bridge, 
Plunging Through Guard Rail and Dropping 15 Feet
Six persons, members of a family group, were drowned Friday night when an 
automobile missed a curve at the southwest approach of the 21st street 
bridge, crashed through a wooden guard rail and plunged 15 feet into the 
Manitowoc river.
The victims, all residents of Manitowoc, were taken from the water within 
15 minutes after the crash, and firemen, policmen and physicians, in relays, 
worked frantically to revive them, but to no avail.
Wiczek Was Driving
The driver of the car was Martin Wiczek, 32, employe of the Aluminum Goods 
Manufacturing company rolling mills. With him were his bride of five weeks, 
Mrs. Helen Wiczek, 20; her father, Louis Vande Castle, 42, a Herald-Times 
compositor, and three other Vande Castle children - Lorraine, 8, Joan, 7, 
and Donald, 5.
They were riding in Wiczek's 1935 Pontiac coach, driving from the Wiczek 
home, at 1010 S. 19th street, to the Vande Castle residence at 1853 Fairmont 
street. 
Awaiting their arrival at home 
(new page)
were Mrs. Vande Castle and six children. The time was about 8:30, or a few 
minutes thereafter.
The car traveled north on 21st street. At the approach to the bridge, the 
street turns sharply to the east. A wooden guard rail, painted white with 
black diagonal stripes, runs along the north. There is a large sign with 
the word "SLOW" on the rail. Wiczek apparently missed the curve. The car 
plowed through 20 feet of guard rail and plunged 15 feet into the water. 
It was completely submerged but landed on its wheels, facing east. The 
headlights remained burning.
Heard Tires Squeal
Herny Hutchinson, a milk truck driver for Agon Haupt, was unloading his 
truck in the front of the White House Milk company condensery on the south 
bank of the river. He heard the tires of the Wiczek car squeal as the driver 
attempted to negotiate the turn. He saw the car crash through the railing 
and drop into the water. The machine turned completely over in the descent, 
Hutchinsen said, striking piling as it landed.
Hutchinson saw no other cars approaching from either direction. He shouted 
to Alfred Schmidt, 709 S. 24th street, a condensery employe; "Look out, 
it's going over." Then, as he saw the car hit the water he cried, "Call the 
fire department."
Condensery employes, called the fire department, the call being received 
at 8:15 p.m. From another source, a telephone call notified the police 
department. Truck Co. No. 1 of the fire department, in charge of Capt. 
Hiram Larson, and the police ambulance responded.
Firemen Lower Ladder
The car headlights still burning, was plainly visible. About 18 inches of 
water covered the top. The firemen lowered a ladder onto the top of the 
bridge. Efforts to chop a hole through the top were quickly abandoned. 
Firemen Maurice Gallegher and Harry Blumenstein, ropes tied around their 
waists, groped under the water and opened a door. The body of the youngest 
Vande Castle girl, Joan, was forced out by the pressure. She was carried 
up the ladder and artificial respiration attempted at once.
Two rowboats were pressed into use to remove the other bodies. The second 
person to be taken out was Mrs. Wiczek. As quickly as the bodies were 
brought to the shore, resucitation was begun along the river bank. It was 
not until a tow rope had been hooked to the submerged car from a wrecker 
and it was pulled to shallow water, that police firemen felt sure there 
were no more bodies in the car. Harry Blumenstein of the fire department 
was painfully cut on the wrecked car and was treated at the hospital. 
Assisant Fire Chief John Gaedke said that not more than 10 minutes
(Continued on Page 11, Col. 4)
CAR PLUNGES INTO RIVER; SIX DROWN
(Continued from page 1)
were requied to remove the six persons.
Work for Hours
Prone pressure resuscitation was carried on continuously with oxygen 
administered from time to time by the fire department's inhalalor. At 
times it was thought that pulse could be detected in Mrs. Wiczek and 
the youngest girl, Joan, but although the oxygen equipment was put into 
operation, revival was not accomplished.
The efforts to revive the six persons were continued for 90 minutes on 
the bank of the river. The victims were then moved to the Holy Family 
hospital where work was continued for another 60 minutes before all were 
officially pronounced dead.
Identification of the victims was not completed until 10:45. Wiczek was 
tentatively identified by friends some time earlier. Vande Castle was 
positively identified at 10:45 by E.H. Kruck, foreman of the Herald-Times 
composing room.
Thousands of persons milled around the crash scene. Traffic was badly 
snarled and police were required to direct the movement of automobiles.
As policemen and firemen worked over the bodies, the Rev. Martin Jaekels, 
pastor of St. Paul's Catholic church, administered last sacraments.
Seek Cause of Accident
Authorities sought today to determine the cause of the accident but had 
little to work on. The steel top of the car was caved in apparently when 
it struck the piling as it turned over in the plunge. All of the glass was 
broken. There was a large hole burned in the back of the rear seat and it 
was theorized that a fire might have started in the back seat, distracting 
the driver's attention and causing him to lose control of the machine. 
However, Emil Jagodinsky, a friend of Wiczek's, exploded this theory when 
he stated that the cushion had been burned about a month ago.
There was some speculation as to whether or not any of the occupants had 
been killed in the crash. Physicians said that there was evidence of skull 
injury on one of the small children and Mrs. Wiczek. County coroner, 
Gerald Rau, M.D., gave drowning as the official cause of death, however, 
injuries, he said, would be merely a contributory cause.
Dr. Rau and Dist. Atty. John R. Cashman conferred today on the matter of 
an inquest, but had not reached a decision early this afternoon. 
Only One Witness
Hutchinson apparently was the only eye witness to the accident. Schmidt, 
the condensery worker, caught a glimpse of the car as it slid into the 
water. Mrs. E.J. Kelly, 918 N. 14th street, was believed to be the first 
driver following the Wiczek car. She drove north on 21st all the way from 
Washington street and says she does not remember of any car having passed 
her machine and does not recall seeing any car ahead of her. As she drove 
onto the southwest approach to the bridge a stick of wood dropped on the 
hood of the car, Mrs. Kelly said. She then observed the hole in the guard 
rail and saw men running to the bridge railing and looking into the water. 
She continued over the bridge and parked her car.
An unknown person telephoned the police from the Texaco oil station.
Assistant Fire Chief Gaedke gave orders calling in firemen who were off 
duty. Those who reported and took part in the resuce work in addition to 
Capt. Larson, Gallagher and Blumenstein of the truck company who answered 
the call, were Capt. Ed. Woods, Captain Miles Panosh and Captain Archie 
Fehring, Lieut. Nels Peterson, Charles Petrick, Edward Metiver, E. Gaedke, 
Henry Koch and Palmer Rosinsky. Police officers who answered the call were 
Officers Elmer Scherer, Donald Sears, Ben Muchowski and Milton Larson and 
Alvin Mahlick. Among the physicians who rushed to the scene were Dr. R.G. 
Strong, city physician; Coroner Rau, Drs. Arthur and Theodore Teitgen, 
Dr. C.E. Wall, and Dr. William Rauch.
The car was towed to the Pritzl garage today.
Mass Funeral Service
The six victims will be buried at a single funeral service Monday morning 
at the Holy Innocents church. The funeral procession will leave the Shimek 
and Schwartz funeral home at 8:15 a.m. and the service at the church will 
be at nine o'clock. The Rev. E.A. Radey will officiate. The Rev. Henry Vande 
Castle, brother of Louis, one of the victims, will be in the sanctuary.
Burial will be in a single burial lot in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Vande Castle was born in De Pere in 1896 and after he finished school 
learned the printing trade. He came to this city in 1904 and entered the 
employ of the Brandt Printing and Binding company. He learned operation of 
the linotype machine and was employed on daily newspapers in this city.
He was with the Herald-News for years and after the consolidation with the 
Times continued as an operator for the Herald-Times. He was a member of the 
Typographical Union. The family resided at 1853 Fairmont street.

WILLIAM WIEBOLDT    cemetery #44

IN ONE SHORT WEEK
William Wieboldt, In Robust Health, Is Stricken By Death
BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE ENDED
End Came at Noon To-day After Great Suffering. Many Friends Mourn Him
In the brightest period of his young manhood, when life in all its 
joyous gladness and glorious possibilities was most appreciated, 
William Wieboldt has been called to pass into the great hereafter 
and to try the realities of the unseen world. Scarcely a week ago, 
the picture of robust health and with bright prospects for the 
future; now, in his shroud awaiting burial. Truly it is a sad 
exemplification of the uncertainty of human existence. It was on 
Monday, a week ago, that Mr. Wieboldt was first taken ill with 
pulmonary hemorrhages and although medical aid was at once summoned, 
it was found impossible to check for any length of time and the 
patient was much weakened from the loss of blood and at noon today 
worn out and exhausted he sank into his last sleep and the family 
found themselves in the presence of death, as sad and deplorable as 
ever comes to the lot of human lives to grieve and to mourn. 
William Wieboldt was born here in May, 1876 and had passed all his 
brief life in this city. He attended the public schools and was 
always a student seeking to advance himself. In 1895 he was appointed 
stenographer in Municipal Court by Judge Isaac Craite, a position he 
held at the time of his death. May 11, 1899 he was married at Two 
Rivers to Miss Elizabeth LeClair and a few months ago a little child 
came to bless the union and brighten the home now shrouded in gloom. 
Will Wieboldt was a manly man, one in whom a friend could place the 
most implicit confidence. He was possessed of a bright mind and 
faithful in the discharge of every duty of life attaining a degree 
of success which was most gratifying to his friends. He was 
surrounded by the most pleasant family relations and socially he had 
won himself into the most friendly association. He was blessed with 
a cheery good nature and for everyone had a pleasant word, with his 
life and character no distance lent enchantment, but his friendship 
as it became more intimate tended to disclose the finer qualities. 
Sorrow over his loss belongs to all who knew him but there is a deeper 
personal grief that comes in all intense agony to the heart broken 
wife, and the little one who as yet cannot know of the sorrow. 
Words of sympathy to the hearts that are pained are of little solace 
at this time, but it is at least a pleasure to know that through his 
twenty-four brief years he did life's work well. In the midst of his 
usefulness he has been removed from all that makes life happy and 
attractive and in the vagueness of understanding that is had by those 
who grieve, there is a firm belief that an award awaits him. Besides 
a wife and child, one brother, Charles and a sister survive him. The 
funeral will be held Thursday.

SLEEPS IN THE WHITE CITY - WIEBOLDT
With hushed voice and silent tread, friends of the late William Wieboldt 
gathered at the sorrow marked home on Washington street to pay a last 
tribute to his memory this morning and rare fragrant blossoms testified 
the love and esteem in which the departed was held. At the Catholic 
church a large crowd gathered and sympathy for the bereaved ones was 
expressed on every side. No higher tribute could be paid to the memory 
of a young man, than that which friends paid today. The funeral cortege 
was one of the largest ever witnessed in Manitowoc. At the cemetery
