The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rades, the deceased was born Nov. 1, 1876, in the town of Schleswig, Manitowoc county, attended school at Rockville, and was married on Feb. 20, 1898, to Michael Grasser at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic church, Kiel.

Following their marriage, the couple resided on a farm in the town of Eaton and at New Holstein until 1901 when they moved to Marinette, Wis., where they lived until 1942. For the past five years they had made their home with two children in Chicago.

Mrs. Grasser was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic church at Chicago, and was affiliated with the Christian Mothers' society at the parish.

Survivors include her husband; four daughters, Mrs. Gustav {Erna} Waldan, Sheboygan, Mrs. Albert {Sylvia} Kearney, Cambridge, Mass., Mrs. Sigvald {Elmyra} Johnson, Chicago, and Mrs. Joseph {Leona} Pouliot, Waltham, Mass.; four sons, Raymond, Portsmouth, N.H., Cyrill, Chicago, Myron, Waltham, Mass., and Everist, Marinette; one sister, Mrs. Carl Koeser, Sheboygan Falls; a brother, William Rades, Kiel, and 17 grandchildren.

Severin Gerhold, aged 69 years and a resident of Sheboygan for the past 32 years, passed away yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at his home, 1222 North Tenth street. The cause of death was dropsy, Mr. Gerhold having been ill for some time. He was born in Vienna, and came to this country and settled in Sheboygan 32 years ago. He is survived by his wife and six children. They are Mrs. Marie Mack, Fred Gerhold, Mrs. O'Hara of Chicago, Mrs. Monicke and Joseph of this city, and fifteen grandchildren.

The funeral will be held Thursday morning at 8 o'clock from the Holy Name church, the Rev. Father Thill officiating. Interment in Wildwood.

Ferdinand Grabowski, age 52 years, committed suicide shortly after 6 o'clock this morning by hanging himself in the barn at his home, 1424 George avenue.

The lifeless body was discovered by his son, Arthur, who went into the barn fifteen minutes after his father went there. The elderly man had taken his life by fastening a small cord over a stick of wood, resting on two of the rafters. Evidently the rope was fastened about his neck while he stood on a pile of wood, and then stepped off, the cord being drawn tightly about the neck and causing strangulation. None of the bones in his neck were broken. The police were notified and he was cut down shortly afterwards, the body still being warm.

Mr. Grabowsky had been in poor health for some time, and it is believed that in a fit of despondency he committed the rash act. The decedent was born in Strasburg, Germany and came to this country while quite young and for the past 26 years had been a resident of Sheboygan. He was married May 30th, 1885. Besides his wife he is survived by four children, Alfred, Olga, and Arthur residing in this city and Henry of Bluffton, Ind. The arrangements for the funeral will be announced later. The family have the sympathy of their many friends in this hour of their sad affliction. The father, who had been a sufferer for sometime, was not in his right mind, and therefore not accountable for the rash act. Death is always sad, but under circumstances such as chronicled here, it is a greater blow to those surviving.

Such a character as makes friends and holds them. He was a devout member of his church and lived up strictly to her teachings. An eulogy by Father Burke was but a just tribute to his character. He was the noblest work of God, an honest man.

Requiem high mass was celebrated at Cascade church by Father Burke and interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. May his soul rest in peace.

Gustave Gerber, a cabinet maker, employed at the Northern Furniture company's plant, committed suicide at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 1420 Huron avenue by drinking carbolic acid.

Mrs. Gerber who was in the garden at the time, was attracted to the house by moans, and going inside found her husband lying across the bed seemingly in terrible agony. The odor of carbolic acid gave her warning as to what had taken place, and physicians were immediately summoned, arriving shortly afterwards, but he was unconscious and died within a few minutes.

An investigation brought out the fact that Mr. Gerber had taken the carbolic acid out in the kitchen, throwing the empty vial in the wood-box and then walked into the bedroom throwing himself across the bed, in which position he was found by the wife. A little daughter, Edna, three years of age, who was with her mother at the time, cried bitterly realizing that something had befallen her father.

It seems that for some time Mr. Gerber had been despondent, but the family never anticipated that he contemplated suicide. He had worked in the morning and in the afternoon went out for a short time and then returned to the house. He did not seem any different than usual and so no alarm was occasioned.

Mrs. Gerber went out in the garden to work after performing her household duties and the first thought that something was wrong, came when she heard sounds in the form of moans from the house.

Mr. Gerber is survived by his wife and daughter Edna, a mother, Mrs. Maria Gerber, six brothers, John, Anton, Edward, Joseph and Benjamin of this city, Richard of Chicago, two sisters, Mrs. Charles Hintz and Mrs. William Burhop, both of this city.

The deceased was 34 years of age and the wife and sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of their many friends in these trying hours.

The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home and the six brothers will act as pall bearers. The Rev. Krueger will have charge of the services and interment will take place in the Lutheran cemetery.

Nora was proud of her Irish heritage and always had a twinkle in her eye and laughter on her lips. She loved her children and spoiled her grandchildren. She was there to help her sisters, brothers, children and grandchildren in a moment's notice. She was the command center during the many unforgettable years of family vacations at Door County's Sand Bay Cottages. These were more than vacations, they were expeditions that included not just her children, but cousins, friends and even a few strangers. The small cottage at Sand Bay would burst with children and laughter, with Nora always at its center. She loved the company of family, and her family loved her. Added to the historic trips to Sand Bay were many other family vacations that included tours around Lake Superior, camping trips to Devil's Lake and Long Lake, several trips to California, Annapolis, Maryland, a vacation to Hawaii and many warm winters in Sun City Center, Fla. Nora loved life and was always in motion doing good deeds for others. She was filled with sweetness and love. And it showed in how she cared for people, laughed with life, fed family and friends and, of course, the mouth-watering, gold medal poppy seed tort she baked for family gatherings.

It was the Lord's wings that carried Nora to heaven, but it was also on the Lord's wings that she lived her life. At the center of it all was her devotion to God and church. After all those she loved were put to sleep, and the day's work was done, she would kneel beside her bed in silent prayer and thank the Lord for the many blessings of her life and pray for her family.

To all who knew her, and loved her, she will be missed. But her love light will shine in each and every person she touched. In that steady constant way she had about her, she made us all better people. Better because of her love.

Visitation will be held from 10 a.m. until the time of Mass at 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27 at Immaculate Conception Church, 2715 Henry St., Sheboygan, followed by burial at the Immaculate Conception Cemetery.

A terrific explosion proved fatal to Bernard Gannon, 44, Glenbeulah, and injured five others, several seriously, at Plymouth this morning. The accident occurred at the Plymouth engineering division of Cleveland Container company when an air compressor tank exploded. Flying metal caused a skull fracture, gaping wound, and brain injury for Mr. Gannon, and he died at 9 a.m. at Plymouth hospital. The time of the accident was set at 7:22 a.m. the hour at which a clock stopped in the room in which the accident occurred.

The injured are: Anton Kreidler, 61, of Marschner street, Plymouth, who lost part of the fourth and fifth fingers on his left hand and was badly cut; Alex Brost, 44, Route 1 Plymouth, who has a badly cut forearm and other injuries; Jacob Franzen, Walter Gosse and Alvin Frantz, Jr., the latter three sustaining minor cuts and bruises.

The air compressor tank, six feet by two, exploded at the south end of the building and flew to the north end of the building where it tore a hole in the wall about ten feet by ten. Enroute it ripped a heavy machine out of its concrete foundation and moved it about eight feet. The explosion blew out all fo the windows and window frames on the firstt floor, many of the windows on the second floor, and some on the third floor. The blast was heard by residents of Plymouth who were more than half a mile away at the time.

Fate undoubtedly saved the lives of three people who normally are working near the tank that exploded. One girl who works at the machine that was hit by the flying tank, did not report for work today. Two male employes escaped injury because one had just gone to the washroom and the other to the stockroom. Another employe was thrown 14 feet, clear through one of the windows, according to Cororner Wesley VanZanten, who investigate the accident. Coroner VanZanten believes that failure of a safety valve on the tank to function properly may have caused the accident. However, he said that S.F. Wetzel, in charge of the plant, informed him that state safety men had examined the valve just recently and that it was working properly at that time.

The death of Mr. Gannon was due to a skull fracture and brain injury, the coroner said. Despite the large would to his head, Mr. Gannon was still able to talk to the attending physician, Coroner VanZanten said. Bernard was highly esteemed among the officers and employes of the Cleveland Container Company, and the news of his tragic death will cause not a little grief. The sorrowing widow and children have the sympathy of the entire community in this hour of their bereavement. Few men were better known, because of his early life on the farm in the town of Greenbush, his years on the Sheboygan County Highway department and lastly with the Plymouth concern.

The five injured were removed to Plymouth hospital at the time MR. Gannon was taken there, but Mr. Franzen, Mr. Gosse and Mr. Frantz were discharged from the hospital after examination and treatment for minor injuries. There are 30 employes at the plant. Work will be resumed on Monday or Tuesday.

Mr. Gannon was a resident of Glenbeulah. He was born on Feb. 14, 1899, in Town Greenbush, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Gannon. On Oct. 12, 1926, he was united in marriage with Miss Mabel Roltgen at Armstrong, Wis. After their marriage the couple made their home on a farm in Town Greenbush. In 1931 Mr. Gannon entered the employ of the Sheboygan County Highway department. he worked for the county for ten years and in 1941 entered the employ of the Plymouth Engineering division of the Cleveland Container Corporation. He is survived by his wife and five daughters, Jean, the oldest, Mary, Phyllis, Bernardine and Kathleen. His father, Phillip Gannon, of Town Greenbush also survives with five brothers and one sister. They are Pharmacist’s mate 2/c Thomas Gannon of the navy; S/Sgt. Eugene Gannon of the army, both on duty in the Southwest Pacific area; Mach. Mate 2/c Frank Gannon of the navy, Alton and Edward Gannon of Town Greenbush, and Mrs. Ray Loof of Saukville.

Mrs. Frances Graff, a well known resident of Sheboygan county, died suddenly Sunday afternoon of apoplexy. She was 58 years of age and had lived in this county during practically her entire life, marrying and rearing her family in this county. Her death came as a shock to her many relatives and friends and is the third death in the family in the last twenty months. For some time past, Mrs. Graff had complained of being dizzy at times and although she tried many remedies, the relief was only temporary. It is stated that she suffered from headaches frequently, but yesterday morning, apparently in good health she went to St. Peter Claver church at 8 o’clock. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon she again started to attend Vesper services at the church and had gone to the Sister’s house at Twelfth street and Clara avenue on an errand. Upon entering the house, she complained to one of the Sisters that she was feeling faint, and the words were no sooner said, then she fell to the floor. A physician was called immediately but when he arrived life was extinct. He pronounced death due to a hemorrhage of the brain caused by the bursting of an artery. Her daughter, Miss Eva Graff, had retired to bed in good health on the night of February 22, 1916, but when called in the morning, she gave no response. After the family had investigated the silence, she was found dead in her chamber, caused, the physician stated, of heart disease. Joseph Graff, the husband and father, died as a result of an operation precisely one month later. Mrs. Graff resided with her family on the farm located on Union avenue, just a short distance from the city limits. She was born in Osceola, Fond du Lac County. Her maiden name was Frances Roltgen and at the age of 22, she married Joseph Graff. Six children were born to this union, of whom five are now living. They are Mrs. Michael Monabach of Chicago, John, of Osceola, Jerome, of Fond du Lac, Bart and Joseph, living at home. Her body was taken to the undertaking parlors of J. Gerend and funeral arrangements have not been completed but will be announced later. Mrs. Graff was woman who had a wide circle of friends, and her sudden death has cast a pall over the home, and in the circle in which she moved. She was a woman who took a great interest in her home, and if there was ever a person who brought credit to the name “mother” it was Mrs. Graff. The friends of the family extend sympathy to the surviving relatives in this hour of their bereavement.

Funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock for Mrs. Frances Graff, from her home and then from St. Peter Claver church. Fathers Van Treeck and Cherne officiated and interment was in the South Side Catholic cemetery. A large number of people attended the funeral, many of them coming from all parts of the county. The pallbearers were Charles and George Frank, George Moleter, Dr. William Kane, Joseph Roltgen, and Henry Large.

Joseph Graff, aged 60, pioneer settler of the county and well known especially among the farmers, passed away at 10 o’clock last night in the St. Nicholas hospital after a two weeks’ illness with bladder disease. He had been ailing for two years but had not been confined to bed until two weeks ago. Last Monday his condition became so serious that an immediate operation was necessitated. Death brought relief to his sufferings yesterday. Mr. Graff, who was one of the earliest farmers of the town of Sheboygan, was born in Oostburg in 1855 where he lived with his parents on a farm until the family came to Sheboygan when he was but two years old, settling in a clearing a short distance west of what is now Union avenue. After the death of his father in 1891, he was in charge of the farm for several years. His mother died two years ago. The survivors are a wife and six children, Mrs. Michael Mannebach, of Chicago; John, of Glenbeulah; Jerome, Osceola; Barthel and Joseph at home; Sister Mary Rose, teacher at Chicago. Miss Eva Graff, also a daughter died suddenly February 23. There are also three sisters, Mrs. Henry Kane, Mrs. Philip Sonneborn and Mrs. Thomas Dunn, all of this city, and one brother, Anton Graff of Sheboygan. Mr. Graff was one of the most highly respected residents of the city, having lived here practically all his life. He was considered a prosperous farmer who always took an interest in public questions. His demise is generally mourned. The funeral will be held at 9 o’clock Thursday morning from the St. Peter Claver Catholic church, Rev. J.P. VanTreeck, rector of the church, officiating. Interment will be made in the South Side Catholic cemetery.

The funeral of Joseph Graff, early settler of the county, who died Sunday night in the St. Nicholas hospital, was held at 9 o’clock this morning from St. Peter Claver Catholic church, Rev. J.P. VanTreeck, rector of the church, officiating. Interment was made in the South Side Catholic cemetery. The services were impressive and the many flowers contributed by friends and relatives were appropriate attributes to his noble character.

When Mrs. Joseph Graff, residing a short distance west of the South Yards, went upstairs to call her daughter Miss Eva, aged 22, this morning, she found not the usually happy young girl, but her limp, lifeless form. Her life was snuffed out during the night. A physician was summoned who pronounced death due to heart failure. Mrs. Graff, as she was wont to do, called her daughter at the stairs when it was time for her to arise. Receiving no answer, she called several times and then went to the girl’s room. She found her daughter lying on her back in bed, with her hands folded as if in supplication. The sight of the pale form so shocked Mrs. Graff that she screamed and fainted, falling on her back. The sons, Joseph and Bartholemus, who were milking in the barn, heard the scream and hastening to the house, they found their mother and sister in the room upstairs. At first glance they thought both were dead. Later Mrs. Graff revived but her condition is critical and it is doubtful whether she will recover from the shock. Miss Eva had been in an unusually happy state of mind last night and had played the piano until 10 o’clock, practicing new music she had purchased in the city last Saturday. Her demise was a surprise and a host of friends are grieved to learn of her untimely death. The survivors are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Graff, four brothers, John, of Glenbeulah; Jerome, of Greenbush; Joseph and Bartholemus, at home; and two sisters, Mrs. Michael Mannebach, of Ravenswood, near Chicago, and Miss Mary {Sister Mary Rose} who is teacher in a convent a short distance west of Chicago. Miss Graff spent Saturday evening and Sunday morning in the city as the guest of her aunt, Mrs. H.C. Kane, 418 North Water street. She attended the services in the St. Clement’s church on Sunday morning and returned to her home in the afternoon. The funeral arrangements have not been made, pending word from the relatives.

The funeral of Miss Eva Graff, who was found dead in bed Wednesday morning at her home near the South Yards, will be held at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning from the St. Peter Claver Catholic church, Rev. J.P. VanTreeck, rector of the church, officiating. Burial will be made in the South Side Catholic cemetery. The pallbearers will be the four brothers, John, Jerome, Bartle and Joseph Graff, George Pfrang and Joseph Roltzen. Mrs. August Graff, mother of the deceased, who was in a critical condition for some time after the demise of her daughter, is improving and will probably recover from the shock.

George M. Groh, aged 81, well-known Sheboygan man, died at his home, corner of S. Seventh street and Georgia avenue, at 5:45 a.m., today, after an illness of several days.

Death occurred in the home in which Mr. Groh was born, on July 24, 1853. It was situated north of the present location at the time of his birth, and was later removed to its present site.

Mr. Groh was the son of George and Elizabeth Groh, pioneer residents of this county. His parents came to this city in 1848. He was educated in local schools, and at an early age he took a great interest in photography and other art work, specializing in these lines all his life.

For many years, Mr. Groh's photograph studio was in the Groh building at the corner of N. Eighth street and Pennsylvania avenue, and he was one of the owners of the building. It was in this building that the first quarters of the Citizens State bank were located, and Mr. Groh was one of the original stockholders of the bank.

While Mr. Groh specialized in art and photography, he also had a poetic and musical bent. A musician himself, he at one time directed a band, and also played in musical organizations and individually at various functions in his earlier life.

In his younger manhood, Mr. Groh was considered to have been one of the best groomed men in the state. His principal fraternal interest in those years were in the Royal Arcanum, of which he was an active member.

All his life, Mr. Groh was conserative and thrifty, and he acquired a number of real estate holdings, which he had up to the time of his death. In recent years, he was not as active in photography and art as he was in other business matters.

His nearest surviving relatives are the following nephews and nieces: Captain Harry Groh and Ed Groh of Sheboygan; William Groh of Evansville, Wis.; Mrs. August Wilson of Milwaukee; Albert Freyberg, Mrs. Walter Bauer, Mrs. Elsie Linkul, Mrs. John Van Der Vaart, Mrs. Clara Boller and Mrs. Hattie Moechli of Sheboygan.

The remains were taken to The Hanchett Mortuary, where funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday. The Rev. Herbert Stanton, pastor of St. Peter's Episcopal church, Sheboygan Falls, will officiate. Interment will be made in Wildwood cemetery. Friends wishing to view the body may do so soon after noon, Saturday.

Word was received in this city early today telling of the accidental death of Peter Gady, of Dacada, which occurred Sunday evening when a bullet entered his body in the region of his heart. At the time of the accident four or five men were in the saloon and Gady was back of the bar. One of the men carried a self acting fire piece and had been exhibiting it to those present and in replacing it in his pocket it was accidently discharged killing Gady. As soon as information was brought to the coroner he summoned the clerk of the court, Andrew Crogan and the following jury was drawn: John Den Rollander, Oostburg, Mat Daane, Oostburg, Wm. Swann, Lyndon, A.R. Munger, Waldo, A. Lownet, Holland and George W. Bages, Sherman. The sheriff's force was given the list and as soon as the jurors are drawn the body will be viewed and an inquest held. While the evidence points to accidental death, it was deemed advisable by the coroner to hold an inquest. Mr. Cady was 27 years of age and a young man who was held in high esteem. The news of his tragic death has caused sorrow in the community in which he was known. Word from Dacada this afternoon is to the effect that the shooting which was accidental was done by Tom Russell, a young man residing about five miles from the scene of the shooting. He had an automatic weapon and was exhibiting it at the time laboring under the impression that it was not loaded. There was one cartridge in the gun and this was discharged, the ball entering near the heart and causing instant death. The young man is prostrated by the sad affair and has volunteered to testify before the inquest. The inquest will in all probability be held Wednesday in this city and all those who were present at the time of the shooting will be called upon to give their story of the shooting.
