(Possibly Mrs. Ulovec in cem. #26 but not enough info to determine) ULNESS, ROY Feb 28 1896/Apr 1977 UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN MAN, LISTED HERE AS BEING BURIED, DENIES DEATH TALE Reports that he had met an untimely death in the Manitowoc river during the past winter were branded as not only being entirely premature but also false by George Fox, itinerant painter who returned to this city yesterday with the statement that he had spent the winter in New Orleans. He also denies that he is buried in Potters' field at Evergreen cemetery. Several months ago a floating body was taken from the Manitowoc river at the shipyards after employes of the company had noticed the corpse in the river. Partial identification was made by two West Side residents who knew Fox and his name was listed on the police records as the victim of an unexplained death. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Tuesday, June 24, 1930 P. 6 (Note: Cemetery office can't determine which burial this would be since none seem to match it) UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN DEAD MAN IS TAKEN OUT OF RIVER AT YARD Identity Unknown As No Marks on Clothing and No One Reported Missing Here Mystery surrounds the identity of a man whose body was taken from the river in the rear of the offices of the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Corporation this morning after discovery of the body had been reported by Frank Kinstry, laundryman, on occasion of his daily visit to the yards. Kinstry noted the body floating in the river and it was pulled out by employees at the yards and turned over to the police. That the man had been dead for many days was indicated by the decomposed condition and search of his clothing failed to reveal anthing that might identify him. There was no money or other valuables, no papers and no mark on the clothing that might aid in establishing who the man may be. Dead Man About 50 The dead man is about 48-50 years of age, weighs 165 pounds, 5 feet, 7 inches and wore a pair of top boots, a combination wool and leather jacket and overalls. There were no marks on the body except a small cut on the leg, due probably to contact with some obstruction in the river. It is possible the man may have been lost from a boat although this not accepted because the body has probably been in the water for so long and with little operation of boats that far up river. The body was taken to the Vogelsang morgue and if it is not claimed, will be buried by the county. Police said that they had no report of any person missing here and no one who has viewed the remains has been able to assist in identification. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Friday, May 2, 1930 P. 11 (Note: This entry and the one above may be the same person) UPPENA, DOLORES Feb 20 1897/Feb 08 1998 URAYNOK, JOHN From Der Nord Westen, 20 Apr. 1899: On Tues. morning last week the body of John Uraynok, who resides about a mile west of Reedsville, was found dead in bed. He lived alone and though he had not been seen for several days his neighbors assumed he was sick and did not want to be seen. From the condition of the body Uraynok must have been dead about 3 or 4 days. A coroner's inquest determined that the 65-yr. old man had died a natural death. UTGARD, BERT Dec 25, 1899/Jun 1987

Mr. Vogel talked about his life to us a few years ago: "I was born 13 July 1792 in Dresden, Saxony. At age 19 I began service on 11 Dec. 1811 in the Saxon Dragoon Regiment. In 1812, shortly before the march into Russia, I was promoted to Corporal. The march into Russia was difficult, but the retreat from Moscow was frightful. I served in the army of the Saxon General Leggoques, then subsequently in the French Army under General Reincke. The burning of Moscow was an enormous spectacle: I lay only 30 Werst* from it on icy fields, hungry, thirsty, and freezing. The crossing of the Beresina was terrifying. I served in the advance party of the Life Company of the feared tyrant Napoleon I, so that I was able to see his intimidating face almost daily. I was severely wounded at Kalisch and still carry scars. For a few days we were held prisoners by the Cossacks, then 39 of us risked the ice and snow to escape, suffering hunger and thirst and wolves, finally reaching the Saxon Free Corps under Col. Taubenheimer on the Bohemian border. I was also lightly wounded at Waldheim, Saxony in 1813. (*Russian measure. One Werst is 1.0668 kilometers or about 1170 yards.) VOGEL, MRS.

She is survived by 6 sons and 3 daughters. The funeral took place Tues. in the Lutheran Cemetery in Newton. It was the third casket to have been carried from the residence of Arthur Vogel in a short period of time. VOGEL, MRS. DANIEL From Der Nord Westen, 22 Jan. 1903: Death Sat. morning, following a short illness, of Mrs. Daniel Vogel, wife of the headmaster of the local Lutheran school.

The deceased was only 38 yrs. old and had come to Manitowoc with her husband 3 yrs. ago. Mr. Vogel’s family has been followed by bad luck over the past few years. Shortly before coming to Manitowoc they lost a child, then 2 other children died since they arrived, and now the mother is gone.

INQUEST TO BE HELD. Horton Whealan, aged 28, a resident of Maple Grove where he had lived all his life, was found dead on the roadway a half mile from the Watt store early today, the man’s death being shrouded in mystery which District Attorney Schmitz and Coroner Falge will seek to solve by holding of an inquest. The dead body of Whealan, who is said to have been a character of the town, was found early this morning by John Gorgan as the latter was driving his cows to pasture. Report was made to District Attorney Schmitz and Sheriff Engelbrecht and Mr. Schmitz immediately departed for the scene. Later Coroner Falge was summoned and an investigation is being made. Details received from Maple Grove are meager and it is said the authorities have been unable to find anyone who was with Whealan last night. It is said there are no marks on the body to indicate that Whealan might have been the victim of automobile speeders as it was at first suggested. Whealen, it is said, was not about his usual haunts last night and nothing is known as to his whereabouts yesterday. The man is said to have been addicted to drink and may have been a victim to exposure, though the weather was not cold last night. It is believed that Whealen met death sometime late last night as physicians say the man had been dead some hours when the body was found. District Attorney Schmitz and Deputy Sheriff Engelbrecht had not returned from Maple Grove late this afternoon. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, October 22, 1915, Page 1 ********* WHEALAN DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES IS BELIEF INQUEST OVER DEATH OF MAPLE GROVE MAN IS ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. BLOOD ON CAP OF DEAD MAN CAUSES INVESTIGATION INTO DEATH Although authorities are inclined to believe that Horton Whealen, the Maple Grove man whose dead body was found at the roadside yesterday came to his death from natural causes, there are circumstances revealed by the investigation made yesterday that may result in unearthing a crime, it is said. The inquest called yesterday was adjourned until next Wednesday after the drawing of a jury, members of which are Patrick Cahill, John J. Cohen, Joseph Remiker, Edward Weld, William Kirby and J.D. Nate. Whealen was last seen alive about 6 o’clock Thursday night when Thomas Fenelon passed the man seated at the roadside a short distance from the point where the body was found later. It is said that Whealen appeared to be under the influence of liquor but no trace of his whereabouts from that hour has been found. Whealen’s cap was bespattered with blood though there were no marks of violence on the body to indicate that the man had been attacked. The presence of blood is a mystery which the authorities will seek to solve before the inquest is called. Whealen’s body was found near the Morrisey home and was face down. The remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Ed Watt of Maple Grove. Whealen has a brother residing at Mishicott and is also survived by two sisters. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, October 23, 1915,Page 8 ********* There is an article in the Maple Grove section saying he is buried in "the potter's field". I don't know if that's supposed to be by Maple Grove or in Manitowoc. He's not listed in the Manitowoc one. The article is not transcribed because it repeats the other articles already transcribed, but does add the potter's field bit at the end. ********* DECLARES BROTHER WAS VICTIM OF MURDEROUS ASSULT, ASKS INVESTIGATION BE REOPENED FRED WHELAN, MAPLE GROVE, WHOSE BROTHER WAS FOUND DEAD AT ROADSIDE, SAYS HE HAS CLEW TO IDENTITY OF MEN HE ALLEGES ATTACKED AND KILLED MAN - SCHMITZ TO CONSIDER INFORMATION GIVEN Declaring that he is in possession of facts which leads him to believe that his brother, whose dead body was found at the roadside in the town of Maple Grove two months ago, was the victim of a murderous assault. Fred Whelan has appealed to District Attorny Schmitz and Sheriff Engelbrecht to reopen investigation of the case. Whelan conferred with officials this week. Whelan's brother, Horton Whelan, was found dead at the side of the road in the town two months ago after having been missing for a day or more. While the circumstances surrounding the death were considered rather peculiar and warranted an inquest, the coroner's jury returned a verdict of death due to natural causes. At the time of the inquest there was a suspicion that the body had been carried to the spot where it was found but there was no evidence to substantiate this theory. Indians who are said to have been in the neighborhood were also referred to. In his statement to the authorities this week Fred Whelan claims to have secured a clew that leads him to believe that his brother was killed by an attack upon him by an indian and white man in a shack near where the body was found. Whelan is of the opinion that his brother may have been killed in a fight, or by ????? upon and that the body was later carried to the spot where it was found. Just what information Whelan has secured has not been made public but District Attorney Schmitz will consider it and if warranted will re-open the investigation. Report is said to have been made to federal authorities that Indians have secured liquor and it was said that some prosecutions might follow but no action has yet been taken. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, January 11, 1916 P.1 WHITE, B.J. B.J. White, a pioneer resident of Newton and prominent in the county for many years died at his home there last night, aged 73 years. Death was due to age and infirmities. Mr. White was for many years a teacher in the county schools in his younger days and served as town chairman from Newton for a number of terms. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Daniel Gallagher and three sons, James, at Newton, Edward, of Two Rivers and Walter of Pasadena, Cal. The funeral will be held at Osman Saturday at 10 o'clock. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. February 26, 1920 P. 1 WHITE, BRIDGET From the Manitowoc Herald, 24 Mar 1859: Bridget White died, wife of John White. WHITE, CHARLES W. From Der Nord Westen, 13 Mar. 1902 Charles W. White died Fri. night in a railroad accident in Texas. Following the death of his wife he had been living with his son in Antigo and recently took a trip to the east and south. A few weeks ago it was reported that he met his daughter-in-law in Washington, the wife of his son Clarence who resides in St. Louis. From there they undertook a rail trip through the south and were on a Southern Pacific train last Thurs. night going to Alabama. The train was 2 hours late and in an attempt to make up time by increasing speed, one car of the 6-car train left the tracks on a curve in Sanderson, Texas, and pulled the other cars, locomotive and tender with it. The Pullman car stayed on the tracks. The first car to leave the tracks burst into flames and no one was able to help as its passengers were consumed. 12 people died in this fashion, including Charles W. White and his daughter-in-law. Mr. White was born, if we are correctly advised, in 1826 in New York State and came as a boy with his parents to Wisconsin. His father was a missionary to the Indians in this part of Wisconsin, settling first near Green Bay and then later in Calumet County. Charles learned the Indian language and their hunting methods. As a boy he delighted in playing with the Indian children. In the late 40's he made a trip to Germany with a Mr. Ostenfeldt, brother of F. Ostenfeldt here, and became acquainted with Miss Louise Ostenfeldt there with whom he married in 1849. The young couple resided in Green Bay, Chilton, and Two Rivers, and then settled in Manitowoc in the late 50's where Mr. White practiced law. Mr. White served with the 45th Wisconsin Regiment during the Civil War and was a member of the local G.A.R. Post. Mrs. White died about 2 yrs. ago and Mr. White went to Antigo to reside with his son. He leaves 3 sons, a 4th son having died many years ago. WHITE, ELSIE May 14, 1899/Jul 1973 WHITE, MRS.

WHITWELL, EFFIE 16 Nov 1878/Jun 1978 WICKERT, GEORGE From Der Nord Westen, 13 July 1905: After a long illness with consumption, 38-yr. old George Wickert died Mon. in St. Marien Hospital. The deceased, who operated a barber shop here, leaves 3 brothers and a sister. The funeral was held yesterday morning from St. Boniface Church. WICKERT, CHILD OF JAKOB From Der Nord Westen, 16 July 1891: Death on Fri., 10 July, of the 15 mo. old child of Mr. Jakob Wickert of Manitowoc. The burial took place Sat. in the Catholic Cemetery. WICKERT, LIZZIE Died In Life's Morning. Miss. (sic) Lizzie Wickert, daughter of Mrs. Catherine Wickert, died at the home of her mother on South 9th street at 11 o'clock last night. Consumption, that elusive, insiduous foe of humanity, was the cause of her death. She had been sick for about a year but, although the ravages of disease had been apparent to friends, death was not expected. The deceased was born June 28, 1876 and most of her short life was passed in this city. She will be remembered as one by whose presence the world was made a little brighter, a little more loving. Of a sweet considerate disposition, her friends were limited only by her circle of acquaintances. Of a bright, sunshiny dispostion, her mere presence brought with it a cheering influence, a gleam of solace for the care-weary hearts of those who were near and dear to her. Death, ever a sad visitor, seems doubly cruel in this instance. Standing in full sunshine of life's morning, surrounded by those she loved and happy in the consciousness of love returned, she seemed to be just entering upon a life of fullest happiness. Within a few short weeks she was to have become the bride of her heart's ideal and, with the pathetic hope of consumption's victims, she fondly believed that her health would be fully restored 'ere the wedding day arrived. But it was not to be. She has passed beyond the reach of human joys or sorrows. Freed from its frail and earthly tenement her spirit has passed beyond the vail (sic). The bereaved hearts left to mourn her loss may surely find solace in the rememberance of her pure and generous character, her life so full of love and kindness. Funeral services will be held at St. Boniface church next Friday morning. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, December 7, 1898 P. 1 (Note: There is a Katherine Wickert in cemetery #43 ********* The funeral services over the remains of Miss Lizzie Wickert will be held at St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.

Mr. Frank Nevileir, of West Union, Iowa, is in the city, called here by the illness and death of Miss Lizzie Wickert. Mr. Nevileir and Miss Wickert were betrothed and the wedding which was to have taken place Thanksgiving day was postponed because of the illness of the lady. Mr. Nevileir has many friends in this city who sympathise with him in his peculiarly sad affliction. The following lines, written by him will be an epiteth on the stone which shall mark the last resting place of his lost love. Gone, but never to be forgotten A young life so young and sweet, Gone to join the angels in Heaven May her soul rest in sleep. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, December 8, 1898 P. 1 ********* Card of Thanks. We desire to express our appreciation of the many kind acts and words of tender spmpathy (sic) extended to us by considerate friends during our recent sad bereavement. MRS. ELIZABETH WICKERT, AND FAMILY. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, December 16, 1898 P. 1 ********* Not True.

Edwards Platt YATES, MARY From the Manitowoc Herald, 03 July 1858: Mary Yates committed suicide in Kossuth, she hung herself. She was the wife of William Yates. SUICIDE.-Mrs. Yates, wife of a farmer at Frances Creek, town Kossuth, we learn, committed suicide yesterday forenoon, by hanging, in her own dwelling. A messenger arrived in our village in the afternoon, in search of a coroner. We shall have the particulars to-morrow. The Daily Tribune, Manitowoc, Wis. Monday, June 28, 1858 P. 3 ******** The Particulars of the Suicide on Saturday last. On Monday last we gave a brief account of the melancholy suicide of Mrs. Yates, in the town of Kossuth, which occurred on Saturday evening. Mrs. Y. was an English lady nearly 60 years of age, and much respected by her neighbors and friends, and we are informed that she was a member in good standing in the M.E. Church. A desire to return to the land of her birth has been her leading thought for some time past, making her discontented with her situation here. The fear of poverty induced by the depression of the times, perhaps increased the feeling, and doubtless contributed to the causes which deranged her intellect, and led to the commission of the fatal act. She arose from her bed during the night and climbing a ladder in the barn, fastened the rope around some poles above the threshing floor, and descending the ladder a short distance, fixed the noose around her neck, with the knot under the chin, and swung off. As her death was the result of congestion, rather than strangulation, she must have suffered the most terrible agony, and if discovered a short time earlier might have been saved. The circumstances of the case are most lamentable. The Daily Tribune, Manitowoc, Wis. Thursday, July 1, 1858 P. 3. YEHLE, JOSEPH Jul 10 1896/Dec 1981 YOHANEK, HENRY Jul 02 1892/Aug 1982 YOUNG, J.E.

ZAGRODNIK, MARTIN WENT DOWN WITH BOAT Manitowoc Youth and His Two Rivers Brother-in-law Lose Life at Sheboygan FISHING SMACK IS CAPSIZED Northeasterly Gale Strikes Boat Within Short Distance From Shore – Accident Monday Afternoon. By the capsizing of a Two Rivers fishing smack, which occurred less than half a mile out from Sheboygan late Monday afternoon, two lives were lost, one of the victims being Martin Zigrodnik a youth of this city and the other his brother-in-law, Florian Monka, of Two Rivers. The fatality was witnessed by people on the pier and a tug was at once sent to the rescue, but too late to lend assistance, the men having gone down before the scene was reached. Monka, who was a fisherman at Two Rivers, has recently placed a new gasoline engine into the boat Monday morning, accompanied by young Zigrodnik had set out to place the nets for a catch. At noon quite a sea prevailed and it is supposed that the boat was unable to make her way back, and drifted southward, the wind coming from the northeast, until near Sheboygan where an attempt was made to run to port. This was partly successful but the heavy sea carried the boat on the roof just north of the breakwater. Search for the bodies and boat was conducted, but all that could be recovered was two net boxes and several buoys. The boat in which the men put out was thirty feet in length, seven feet beam and of Mackinaw build. It is thought probable that Zigrodnik became seasick and was unable to assist in managing the boat and that Monka could do nothing alone. News of the accident reached here in the evening, but it was not until late that the identity of the unfortunate men was established. Zigrodnik was a youth of 18 years of age and was son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Zigrodnik, who reside on the South Side. Monka was married and is survived by several brothers and sisters. The loss entailed in the sinking of the boat is $900. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, March 19, 1901, p. 1 (Note: Although it says Zigrodnik, the surname is most likely Zagrodnik as this is the spelling in the 1899-1900 Schmidt's Directory which shows Anton Zagrodnik with a son Martin at 912 s. 18th st. in Manitowoc. ********** NO TRACE OF BODIES Of Men Who Went Down In Fishing Smack at Sheboygan Monday. Up to the present time nothing more has been heard or seen of the two men who lost their lives by the foundering of their fishing boat while trying to enter the Sheboygan harbor in the severe storm of Monday. Relatives immediately hastened to Sheboygan from Two Rivers on receipt of the information but on account of the high sea running and large ice flows coming down the lake it was impossible to do anything toward searching for the bodies or the craft. Two Rivers city has for years been the home of hundreds of fisherman from the ranks of whom many men were selected to serve in the United States life saving service, and at one time every captain in charge of a station from Sturgeon Bay to South Chicago was a Two Riverite. The accident at Sheboygan is the first of its kind to occur since the year 1881, when two fishermen lost their lives by drowning while coming from Algoma. Several pieces of the Two Rivers fishing smack lost off Sheboygan break water Monday have been picked up in the river there. One of the pieces was part of the side of the boat and gun wale and another was a part of the spar that attached to the spar seat. Another article was a gallon can filled with oil, also a washboard. The parts of the boat were all painted a led (sic) color which corresponds with the color of the boat. A great many expressed the belief that the boat would remain intact but this seems a quite conclusion evidence that it has gone to pieces.

He was a single man and operated a farm in Kellnersville with his elderly mother keeping house. He was working in the fields Friday morning as usual and returned to the farm buildings for some reason. His mother called him for lunch, but on receiving no answer went looking for him and found him in an outbuilding hanging from a rafter. He was immediately cut down, but the body was already cold. It was obvious that he had been dead for several hours. It is puzzling why he took this action because he enjoyed the best of health, was financially well-off and had never shown any likelihood of such an action. Whether he led a secret life or was temporarily insane, no one can say. Because the facts of this case were so clear, the County did not call for an inquest.
