Pair Will Pledge Troth by Signs
Wedding in Wordless Courtship
Ununual Ceremony to Give Manitowoc Man Milwaukee Bride
A romance of three years, a courtship in which never a word has been spoken 
by the two principals, will culminate on January 23 at Milwaukee when Theodore 
Ziarnik, 1024 South Twenty-second street, this city, claims as his bride Miss 
Alice Letkiewicz, of Milwaukee. (Photo) And the wedding ceremony will be 
without words. A license for the marriage was issued at Miwaukee Monday.
Both principals are unable to speak or hear and their romance, of three years 
has been developed by "word of hand." At the marriage license bureau they 
answered the questions in writing, as the clerk pointed to the questions on 
a printed form.
But they are happy. Through members of her family, the bride-to-be at Milwaukee 
declared she is happy in that she has been led to a man she loves.
Although they were engaged a year, the decision to marry in January, 1926, was 
not reached until New Year's day when Ziarnik visited the home of his sweetheart. 
Then, in the language-the only language-each understood, she said, "Yes," and 
arrangements were made to visit the license bureau.
An eleaborate wedding is being planned. The father, the mother, the brother and 
sister are anxious that the supreme happiness of their daughter and sister shall 
be fittingly celebrated. She is the only one of the family who is unable to speak 
or hear.
Mr. Ziarnik, who is 28, is employed by the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company 
and has been in the plant here for years and after the wedding at Milwaukee the 
couple will come to Manitowoc to take up their home. Miss Letkiewicz is 21 years 
of age and a most attractive girl. A number of relatives and friends from this 
city will attend the wedding at Milwaukee.

Roman Ziegelbauer Takes Own Life Tuesday Afternoon
Roman Ziegelbauer, 44, former Kiel resident, shot himself about 3:30  
p.m. Tuesday in a shed on a farm near his Campbellsport farm.  He had  
been threatening self-destruction for some time.
He accomplished the act while Fond du Lac county deputies were  
searching for him, alerted by his wife that he had a gun and was  
about to commit suicide.  Deputies had taken all of Ziegelbauer's  
guns from him earlier in the month.
How he found a gun and committed the act was pieced together from  
stories told by the deputies and Mrs. Ziegelbauer.  He stole the gun,  
a deer rifle, from the car of a neighbor, who carried it in his car  
all year round.  When the neighbor parked the car, Ziegelbauer was  
able to get the rifle.
He showed it to his wife and told her of his intention.  She  
immediately alerted the sheriff and a search was started.  Deputies  
pulled into the yard of the neighbor and found Ziegelbauer talking to  
the lady of the house.  She was paralyzed with fright as Ziegelbauer  
had told her what he planned, and threatened to shoot her if she said  
anything to the police.
The deputies asked for Ziegelbauer.  They did not know him and did  
not have the license number of his car.  Ziegelbauer replied, "Oh  
yes, he lives down the road."  So the police drove away.
On the highway they met Mrs. Ziegelbauer, who was on her way to get  
the children from school.  She stopped the police car and asked what  
success they had.  No sight of the wanted man reported the deputies.   
Then Mrs. Ziegelbauer told them that he must be in that car in the  
yard of the farm she just passed.  The deputies rushed back to the  
farm, but it was too late.  Ziegelbauer had gotten out of the car,  
taken the gun from the back, walked about five feet to a shed, turned  
the gun on himself and pulled the trigger.  The lady was still  
beseeching him not to do it.
Ziegelbauer came to Kiel with the Kasper Construction crew that built  
the Lake to Lake plant.  He was foreman of the crew.  He stayed with  
Kasper for several years and then branched out for himself in the  
construction business.  His crew did a lot of work in and around  
Kiel, largely cement and gutter construction.  He is a former Kiel  
alderman and was elected to the Calumet County Board, representing  
the Third Ward.
He started farming along with the cement work, at one time living on  
the former Louis Lawrence place just north of the city limits.  He  
and his family moved to Campbellsport over a year ago, where he was  
operating a large farm.
He is survived by his wife and seven children.  Funeral arrangements  
had not been completed as the Record went to press.  The arrangements  
are in charge of the Twohig Funeral Home at Campbellsport.
