ADOLPH ZANDER  (d. 1915)   cemetery #44

MEETS DEATH ON SPOT WHERE AS BOY HE PLAYED 
ADOLPH ZANDER INSTANTLY KILLED AT BOILER WORKS PLANT TODAY WHEN 
STRUCK BY ARM OF BIG CRANE NO ONE WITNESSED ACCIDENT. WAS 53
Adolph Zander, employed at the shops of the Manitowoc Boiler Works 
met death this morning on the spot which years ago was the site of 
his father’s mill and where as a lad he had played, Mr. Zander being 
killed instantly by a blow from the heavy arm of the crane operated 
at the shops. The man was dead when fellow workmen reached his side, 
his body having been crushed by the blow. No one witnessed the 
accident, the engineer in charge of the crane investigating when he 
felt the jar which resulted when the arm hit Zander’s body. Physicians 
were hurriedly summoned but Zander was pronounced dead. 
Mr. Zander, who was employed as a pattern maker and carpenter at the 
Boiler Works and had been in employ of the company for a number of 
years, was at work nailing scaffolding on the crane, his body laying 
across the runway of the structure while he was attempting to nail 
supports under the runway. No one knew that the man was on the runway 
and it is said that Zander had no business on the runway and that he 
should have raised a ladder under the structure in performing the work 
he was doing, which would have obviated any chances of accident. 
Employees of the plant say that Zander failed to obey the “safety first” 
rules of the company. Mr. Zander’s body was terribly crushed by the 
heavy steel arm, one side of the body being torn and lacerated. Death, 
according to physician, resulted instantly. A statement given out by 
the Boiler Works Co. today relative to the accident was as follows: 
“Mr. A. Zander, pattern maker and millwright at the Manitowoc Boiler 
Works Company met with an accident about ten o’clock this morning which 
resulted in death. Mr. Zander was in the act of building a scaffolding 
underneath the runway and was nailing a two by four post on runway. 
Instead of using a ladder or notifying the crane man he leaned over the 
crane track of runway. No doubt he thought he could drive his four or 
five nails and get away in safety. The crane operator not knowing Mr. 
Zander was there started the crane and it struck him.” 
Mr. Zander was a native of Two Rivers and was 53 years of age. He had 
resided here most of his life. A widow and four children survive, Mrs. 
Henry Schweda, Miss Asta, Adolph and Louis Zander, all of this city. 
An aged father, one brother Edward Zander and a sister, Mrs. Frank 
Kautsky also survive. The shock of Mr. Zander’s death may hasten the 
demise of his father who makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. Kautsky 
and who is reported to be in very feeble health and near death. 
The body of Mr. Zander was taken to the C. & W. Frazier undertaking 
rooms and later removed to the home at 820 York street. Funeral 
arrangements have not been made but the burial will probably be 
Thursday afternoon.

DANE CO. COURT UPHOLDS 15 PER CENT PENALTY AWARD ON LOCAL CONCERN, 
ZANDER DEATH
Court Rules that Contributary Negligence Does Not Affect Powers of Industrial 
Commission in Right to Impose Additional Penalty for Failure to Obey Commission 
Order
In a decision handed down Saturday in the Dane county circuit court in the 
appeal from the award of the Industrial commission to Mrs. Bertha Zander 
against the Boiler Works company, for the death of her husband, Adolph Zander, 
the court upheld the commission's award and ruled that Mrs. Zander was entitled 
to 15 per cent additional on the award as penalty against the Boiler Works 
company for failure to properly protect the machinery as ordered by the 
commission. Under the decision Mrs. Zander will receive about $400 increase on 
the usual award of $3,000 for death.
Zander was killed while at work on a crane at the plant of the Boiler Works 
company and insurance companies made no contest on allowance of the award for 
death. The commission, however, added 15 per cent to the amount as penalty 
because, it said, the company had failed to obey an order of the commission, 
of properly safeguarding of the crane.
The commission had ordred that the crane at the plant be protected by a device 
similar to a street car fender but it is claimed that this was impossible and 
the insurance company set up this in its appeal to the court from the 15 percent 
penalty award. The law provides that where orders of the commission are not 
carried out a penalty may be imposed and the court upheld this feature of the 
law.
It was also argued in the case that Zander was guilty of contributory negligence 
but the court holds that negligence on one hand or contributory negligence on the 
other has no bearing on the question of the power of the Industrial commission to 
assess a 15 per cent penalty in addition to compensation for injury.

ARTHUR H. ZANDER  (d. 1938)  cemetery #44

(Photo with the following caption)
"Arthur H. Zander, city clerk here for the past 20 years, died 
suddenly shortly after retiring Monday night, following his 
return from a special meeting of the City Council. Funeral 
services will be held Thursday afternoon from the Masonic Temple."

Arthur Zander, City Clerk for 20 Years, Dies of Heart Attack
Succumbs In Bed Shortly After Attendin a Council Session (Photo)
Arthur H. Zander, 68, city clerk here since 1918 and prominent in 
fraternal and civic life of Manitowoc, died suddenly of a heart 
attack at his home Monday evening an hour after he returned from 
a special meeting of the City Council.
Mr. Zander continued active until the end. He was at his duties 
at his office in the city hall Monday and took the minutes of the 
special meeting of the aldermen last night. Before the meeting, 
while conversing with City Attorney Edward Meyer he complained 
that he had suffered a slight pain in his chest a few days before 
but said it had passed over. 
Funeral Thursday
He retired soon after reaching his home, 1718 Michigan avenue 
last night. His wife, noticing his heavy breathing shortly after 
11 o'clock, sought to arouse him. When he did not respond she 
called other members of the family and a physician. He died a 
few minutes after the arrival of the doctor.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. from the Masonic 
Temple under Masonic auspices. Interment will be in Evergreen 
cemetery.
Mr. Zander, born at Zander in the town of Gibson in 1869, followed 
successively the positions of school teacher, post office clerk, 
county official, weekly newspaper publisher, salesman and city 
clerk.
At the age of 16 he taught school at Neshoto, Manitowoc county. 
In 1888 he had the urge to go west and located in Tacoma, Wash., 
when that bustling western city was growing. He was employed as 
a clerk in the post office. He returned to Mishicot after four 
years, then located at Hika (Centerville), where he again taught 
school for four years.
Filled County Vacancy
In 1899 when an incumbent in the office of county clerk died, the 
county board chose Mr. Zander for the vacancy. He served out the 
remainder of the two year term but did not choose to run for the 
office again. Instead he became asociated with Sydney T. Pratt in 
operation of the Manitowoc Pilot, a weekly newspaper and job 
printing plant on York street.
Mr. Zander next entered the employ of the Schmidtmann Sons company 
as a traveling salesman. After a few years with this company he 
joined the sales force of the Ziegler Candy company, Milwaukee. 
He was with this company 18 years.
On September 9, 1918, when Walter C. Staeffler resigned as city 
clerk to enter the navy during the World war, the city council 
unanimously chose Mr. Zander to succeed him. He was re-named to 
this important post each successive year. Last May he was elected 
to a two-year term. The new charter provision now calls for the 
clerk to be elected for two years instead of one.
An Ardent Sportsman
Mr. Zander was an ardent sportsman and prominent for years in 
activities of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton leauge. He 
was on the special committee that put over the Centerville dam 
project, which created a man made lake and beauty spot 18 miles 
south of Manitowoc along the lake shore. Close to $5,000 was 
raised by Waltonians through a series of picnics held at 
Centerville.
Despite the many duties which the city clerk's office entails, 
Mr. Zander made trout fishing his hobby. He could alsways find 
time to snatch a moment to discuss a particular trout stream 
where he was sure there would be a worthwhile catch waiting.
As the business of the city increased the clerk's office became 
more and more the center of activity. Councilmen sought his 
advice and counsel in matters of legislation and procedure, and 
his
(continued on Page 2, Col. 4)
Page 2
CITY CLERK DIES OF HEART ATTACK
(Continured from page 1)
long years of service in the office gave him a fund of knowledge 
on city affairs that was a great aid during every change of 
administration.
Married In 1893
He was a past president of the Kiwanis club and a member of the 
Masons, the Untied Commercial Travelers and the Presbyterian 
Men's club. He was vice-president and director of the Manitowoc 
Building and Loan association.
In 1893 Mr. Zander married Miss Tillie Levenhagen at Mishicot. 
She survives with three sons, Fritz and Arthur, Jr., city, Karl, 
Troy, N.Y.; two daughters, Elva and Kathleen, city; two brothers, 
Editor Otto Zander of the Brillion News, Karl, Independence, Mo.; 
three sisters, Mrs. Ferdinand Heyroth, Duluth, Minn., Mrs. Nic 
Terens, city, Mrs. Rose Angell, Califon, N.J.
The body is at the Frazier mortuary and may be viewed there. It 
will be moved to the Masonic Temple Thursday morning to lie in 
state until the hour of services.

EDWARD ZANDER, SR.  (d. 1916)  cemetery #44

DEATH CLAIMS ONE OF FIRST GIBSON SETTLERS
Edward Zander, Sr., Among Earliest Settlers at Gibson, 
Walked from Milwaukee when He Came Here to Locate
Edward Zander, Sr., pioneer resident of the county and said to have 
been one of the first white settlers of the town of Gibson where he 
located in 1854, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Kautsky, 
617 Buffalo street, last night at the advanced age of 83. The recent 
tragic death of his son Adolph Zander, who was killed while at work 
at the Roller Works Co. plant, hastened the end.
Mr. Zander was a native of Mecklenberg, Germany, and was born March 2, 
1828. He came to America in 1850 and four years later to Manitowoc 
county with his brother walking afoot from Milwaukee, carrying their 
packs. The decedent located on a farm at Gibson and is said to have 
been the second settler there. He continued his residence in Gibson 
up to a few years ago, after the death of his wife, he came to the 
city to make his home with his children.
Though engaged in farming, Mr. Zander was also a carpenter contractor 
and followed that work for years. He was the father of eight children, 
two of whom survive, being Mrs. Kautsky and Edward Zander, Jr., of 
this city.
The funeral will be held from the Kautsky home at 617 Buffalo street 
Monday afternoon.

REPORT BRIDGE WAS DARK WHEN 3 WERE KILLED
That the fatal accident at Sturgeon Bay Wednesday night in which Miss Louise 
Zander of this city and two others lost their lives was due to the fact that 
the lights on the bridge were not in working order, is the belief of Edward 
Burns and Henry Schweda, brothers-in-law of Miss Zander, who returned from 
Sturgeon Bay last night, accompanying the body of the girl. A woman and two 
boys who are said to have witnessed the accident, declared that the light 
was not burning.
The body of Miss Zander was taken to the Burns home on So. Eighth street and 
the funeral will be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Boniface church, 
with interment at Evergreen cemetery where the father of the unfortunate 
victim of the tragedy is buried.
According to information secured by Mesrs. Burns and Schweda at Sturgeon Bay 
the three occupants of the car were thrown across the electric wires by the 
collision of the car with the bridge railing, which permitted the wheels on 
one side of the car to go off the bridge. When found the three bodies were 
resting with heads on the wires and feet in the automobile. Miss Zander's 
body had no mark, except for a groove on the chin where the wire had rested 
as the current killed her. Both Miss Zander and Mr. Delwich were still alive 
when they were lifted from the wire and car but the girl died before reaching 
the hospital and Delwich a few minutes after arrival. The Dendil lad was dead 
when found.

FERDINAND ZASTROW   cemetery #82

KIEL OFFICIAL DIES
President F. Zastrow Suddenly Succumbs At The Krueger Picnic on Sunday Last
DEATH WAS DUE TO HEART DISEASE
Was a Member of the Manitowoc County Board of Supervisors for Many Years 
and President of Village
The festivities of the German War Veterans at Kiel were marred on Sunday 
afternoon last by the sudden death of Ferdinand Zastrow, president of the 
village and prominent citizen of the town. Members of the Krueger Verein 
from Kiel, Sheboygan. Manitowoc and Plymouth met for their annual picnic 
at Meyer’s Park in the village and all were in the best of spirits until 
this sad and unfortunate death occurred. Addresses had been made by Max 
Hottellot of Milwaukee and Gustave Guenther of Chilton which were followed 
by Mr. Zastrow, who in the best of spirits, welcomed the visitors to the town. 
He seemed in the best of health and made a splendid impression on his hearers. 
When he completed his speech he stepped from the platform and mingled with 
the large crowed for a short time and then joined the singing society of 
which he was a member. They sang one song and as they began another Mr. 
Zastrow faltered, dropped his book from his hand and then fell dead. Physicians 
were summoned at once, but he was past all medical aid.
A peculiar coincidence is that the deceased wife of Mr. Zastrow met her death 
exactly under similar circumstances in 1901. It was the occasion of a big 
saengerfest at Kiel and she was stricken with heart failure while working in 
the kitchen and dropped over dead.
There are no other known relatives. For the past three years Mr. Zastrow has 
been president of the village. Prior to that time he was chairman of the town 
of Schleswig and of the village of Kiel, representing these two until in the 
county board of supervisors for several years. In politics he was a democrat.
The deceased was a member of the Kiel lodge of Oddfellows who had charge of 
the funeral which took place Wednesday afternoon.
