Richard Phalen, an old veteran of the civil war, passed to his eternal reward Tuesday, August 13th at his home in Parnell, where he has resided for the past sixty seven years. Mr. Phalen was a man of sterling qualities, typical as a soldier, citizen, neighbor and friends. Together with a desire for thrift, frugality and industry, that would make him a man, such that the youth of today, could with profit to themselves emulate, he shouldered his musket and went to the defense of his country when the civil war broke out. He enlisted in the 17th Wis. Vol., which became famous for the engagements in which it participated, and rose to the responsible office of Quartermaster with the rank of First Lieutenant and served until the close of the war when he again took up the peaceful pursuit of farming, which occupation he carried on ever since.

Mr. Phalen was born in New York City November 14th, 1836 and when {?} years of age came with his parents to the town of Mitchell. He has held important offices and has always been a prominent man in G.A.R. circles and has been a member of the Soldiers Relief Committee of the county for many years. He was married to Miss Delia Martin at Fond du Lac, December 28th, 1867 and last year, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. To that union seven children were born, six of whom survive, besides his widow, namely: Thomas of Armstrong; William of Malone and Richard at home; Mrs. Wm. Murphy of Milwaukee; Mrs. John Humphrey of Unity and Mrs. Ben Butler of Mitchell.

The funeral was held Friday with services at St. Michael's Catholic church and interment in St. Michael's cemetery, Rev. David Regan officiating. G.A.R. services were held at the grave, where his old comrades of a bygone strife were there to do him honor, which only a gallant soldier, a brave man and a typical American citizen and kind neighbor deserves. The sympathy of many friends go out to the bereaved relatives in the loss of a loving husband, a kind father and a true friend.

Maurice Prindiville, native of the town of Greenbush, and one time resident of this city, was discovered lying dead upon a wharf at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi last Sunday morning. While the cause of his death is undetermined, foul play is suspected.

Though the body of the dead man was discovered last Sunday morning, positive identification was not made until yesterday. First clues followed were based upon the assumption that the dead man was Clyde K. Stephens, missing bank cashier of Montfort, Wis., and a brother of the missing Stephens journeyed to Bay St. Louis to identify the remains. Inquiry was turned to Sheboygan county and final identity established only after an examination of the effects of the victim disclosed that he carried two spectacle cases bearing the names of Sheboygan opticians and a key ring carrying the imprint of Hhb Clothing Company formerly of that city, but now out of business

That Mr. Prindiville may have possibly been a victim of foul play is entertained because of the fact that his body bore marks upon it and there was a bruise on his face and arm. When his remains were discovered the corpse was lying face upward with one arm shielding the face as if from blows. This coupled with the fact that his pockets were empty, though he was supposed to be in funds, and that in writing to a Sheboygan friend he said that "we" intended to go to Mobile, has given strength to the theory that he met death at the hands of others. It is gleaned from his references in the letters that he had a companion, but until this time this companion has not made himself known.

Two letters, one addressed to his brother, James Prindiville of the town of Greenbush and the other to C.O. Fairweather of Sheboygan were mailed by Mr. Prindiville on the day preceding the discovery {Article cut off}.

The death of {Michael Prindiville} occurred last Friday morning at 11 o'clock at the home of his brother, D.J. Prindiville of Sisseton, S. Dak., after a short illness of lung trouble. Deceased was thirty-nine years of age and until last fall had made his home with the family of Jas. Prindiville in town of Greenbush {Sheboygan county} about six miles southwest of this city. The remains arrived here on the 2:30 o'clock train Monday morning and removed to the home of Jas. Prindiville in the town of Greenbush, the funeral taking place at Holy Angels church at Osceola Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, Father Heisler saying mass and Father Meyer of this city preaching the funeral sermon. Interment followed in the Osceola cemetery.

The deceased was known as a whole-souled fellow and had countless friends wherever he was known. This is readily attested in the fact that, in the funeral procession 210 carriages followed the remains to the scene of his last rest. His departure from earthly spheres has caused universal sorrow to a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

Mike, as he was familiarly called left for Texas last fall where he spent about six weeks after which he returned here for a week when he left for Sisseton, where he lived with his brother Den{nis} until the power eternal flighted his soul away from earthly scenes.

He is survived by four brothers and one sister as follows: Morris of this city, James of the town of Greenbush, Jack of Rutland, N. Dak., Dennis of Sisseton, S. Dak., and Mrs. Frank Schoeckmel of the town of Greenbush.

The pallbearers were Messrs. Steve Riordan, James Reddington, John Herbert, James Rock, Pat. Donovan and Phil. Gannon. All of the brothers were here to attend the funeral.

Clarence Pitt, the 23 years old son of Bernard Pitt, committed suicide by hanging himself in the barn of his brother-in-law, Edward Bartel, two miles west of Cascade between 11 and 12 o'clock Thursday morning.

The lifeless body of the young man was discovered by his sister, Mrs. Bartel, shortly after the noon hour when she went out to summon him to dinner. Word was sent to the neighbors who arrived on the scene a few minutes afterwards, but no attempt was made to cut down the body until 8 o'clock last evening when Coroner Feagan and Dr. Rogers of Cascade arrived.

During the morning his brother-in-law informed Clarence that he was going to the mill and would be back in a couple of hours. It was shortly after this that the young man went into the barn and was not seen after this so it is believed he committed the rash act fully an hour before his lifeless body was discovered. With the arrival of neighbors it was ascertained beyond all question that he was dead and word was sent to Coroner Feagan in this city but being absent at Plymouth investigating the death of Michael Straub he was not reached until later in the afternoon. When he arrived at the home of Mr. Bartel a number of relatives and neighbors were present as well as the chairman of the town of Scott, Mr. J. W. Liebenstein. The coroner had the body cut down in the presence of Dr. Rogers and Chairman Liebenstein.

The coroner took the testimony of the young man's sister, Mrs. Bartel, who was the first to discover him hanging in the barn, and the evidence of Dr. Rogers, Bernard Pitt, the father, and neighbors. Charles Fischer, George Kline, Edward Oleson and Chairman Liebenstein. A verdict was returned that death was due to hanging with suicidal intent.

Two years ago he underwent an operation for appendicitis and had never fully recovered. At times he was quite despondent, though he had continued to work for his brother-in-law up to the time of his death.

One More Day

Why does it have to be this way?
Can't he have just one more day?
One more day to see the sun
But I guess his days were done.
Why does it have to be like this?
Can't God see that he is missed?
Can't He see us all in pain?
Can't He see us going insane?
Oh how I'll miss the great times with him
My memories I hope won't grow dim.
I'll always remember the great time we've had
When I think of him, I'll be so sad.
Now one more time I will say,
"Why can't he have just one more day?"

-by his niece, Danielle.

Airplane Crash In East Proves Fatal Monday To Rev. Nicholas Pirolo Of Superior Avenue

The Rev. Nicholas Pirolo, Sheboygan's "flying evangelist" died Monday in the plane he used to spread the gospel to all corners of the United States.

His single-engine, dual control army surplus trainer, christened "The World Mission," crashed into a rain-soaked cornfield two miles west of Elba in northwest New York. He died instantly.

The Rev. Nicolas Pirolo's wife and seven children reside in Sheboygan at 421 Superior Avenue. The victim was 39 years old.

New York state police theorized he lost his way in the rain and fog while enroute from Lockport, N.Y., to Wellsboro, Pa., where he was scheduled to address and evangelist meeting Monday night. An ordained minister of the Assemblies of God, he had been visiting and preaching at Lockport during the past week.

Witnesses reported that his plane, a Vultee BT-13A, zoomed back and forth over an area adjacent to the scene of the crash in apparent trouble, then knifed through the foggy overcast and nosedived into the field.

According to State Police Sgt. George F. Wood, the plane's nose and motor were buried deep into the ground about a mile from the nearest road. The ship was completely demolished.

Sgt. Wood said police spent several hours tearing the tangled steel frame of the plane apart to remove the body which was wedged in the crumpled cabin. The plane did not burn.

A verdict of "accidental death" was issued last night by Genessee county Coroner Irwin A. Cole.

Lester Jannain, a filling station proprietor at Elba, told police that farmers in the vicinity reported hearing a plane flying low over their homes just prior to the crash. Low hanging clouds, rain and fog hindered visibility, he said.

The Rev. Mr. Pirolo spent the past week with the Rev. Gordon R. Bender, pastor of the Pentecostal church at Lockport, and left Mr. Bender after the two had spent a half-hour on and area flight yesterday morning.

An airport official said the "sky parson" had taken off at Lee airport for Wellsboro in adverse weather conditions at noon. The crash occurred about 20 minutes later.

According to friends of the family in Sheboygan, the Rev. Mr. Pirolo left Sheboygan last Monday, flew directly to Lockport from his home and delivered sermons at the Lockport Gospel center this week. He was booked for a series of lecture meetings throughout New York and Pennsylvania through Dec, 1, and expected to return to spend the Christmas holidays with his family here.

In his first out-of-state flight last September, Mr. Pirolo piloted his plane to the east coast for a number of speaking engagements. Because he was so well received at Buffalo, N.Y., he remained in the east for more than three weeks to speak at churches in other western New York communities.

State Police said the body was identified by papers found in the wreckage and by the Rev. Mr. Bender who was summoned to the scene shortly after the crash. Arrangements were made last night for shipment of the body to Sheboygan for funeral services and burial.

Evangelist Pirolo received flying lessons last year from Melvin Thompson, Kohler, former pilot for the late Gov. Walter J. Kohler. He received his pilot's license in October 1945, and purchased the army surplus trainer to widen the scope of evangelistic work last spring.

During the summer months, Dr. Pirolo frequently piloted his plane to Waupaca, Wis., where he was instrumental in the building of the Spencer Lake Bible camp. He commuted frequently by plane between the Waupaca camp and Sheboygan, occasionally took his sons with him to help in the construction work.

Mrs. Pirolo made her first plane flight with her husband more than a week ago, just before Dr. Pirolo left for his lecturing tour in the east.

Dr. Pirolo was born at Chicago April 13, 1907, attended theological schools in Texas and California, and was married to Miss Magdelene Erbach of Sheboygan on Sept. 3, 1932, at Milwaukee.

He was ordained a preacher of the Assemblies of God on July 17, 1934, and recently described the organization as a 'vigorous, young church movement which is forcing its way into the favorable thinking of educated people everywhere." The Assemblies of God, with headquarters at Springfield, Mo., has an evangelistic staff of more than 600 all over the world.

An Author, lecturer and globetrotter, Dr. Pirolo visited Europe in 1933 to study the rise of fascism in the light of Bible prophecy, and upon his return to the United States toured the country with his family for seven years in a trailer home, lecturing and ministering at some 500 churches.

A far-sighted student of the Scriptures and a keen analyst of international affairs, Dr. Pirolo warned years back that World War II was in the offing unless a change was instituted in the thinking of individuals and society in general.

He was the author of seven books, including "Kingdom of God" and "My Trip to Italy", and was a frequent contributor to religious publications. One of his books was digested and published in religious magazines that were carried into almost every foreign country.

Dr. Pirolo's last trip to the west coast as a traveling evangelist was two years ago, when he spoke at Portland, Ore. On his return to Sheboygan he served as supply pastor at Bethel Baptist church and at the Sheboygan Gospel Tabernacle while both congregations awaited the appointment of new pastors.

His Sheboygan home served as itinerary headquarters for the Italian Gospel Association, Inc., a missionary society established for the reviving of evangelical Christianity in Italy.

Mr. Thompson, manager of Kohler airport, estimated that Dr. Pirolo had completed between 200 and 250 hours of flying time prior to his last flight. He said the plane was a sister-ship to the one piloted by William Schmitt, Sheboygan, which crashed into the harbor here last September.

Survivors include the widow; four sons, Nathaniel, Phillip, Nicholas Paul and Cornelius; three daughters, Evangeline Ruth, Estelle Hope and Pauline Faith; his mother, Mrs. Rosina Pirolo, and a brother, Frank, both of Milwaukee, and a sister, Mrs. Harold Fischer, Sheboygan.

Funeral services have been tentatively planned for Friday at the Ballhorn Funeral chapel. Internment will be made in Wildwood cemetery.

Further particulars on the funeral arrangements will be published in Wednesday's edition of The Sheboygan Press.

Two Sheboygan county residents were among the victims of hunting mishaps over the weekend as deer season opened in northern Wisconsin.

Mrs. Elizabeth Peterman, 22, of Black River, was killed Sunday in what was the state's most tragic hunting accident to date this year, and Walter Blindauer, 45, of Sheboygan, route 1, died late Saturday of a gunshot wound incurred Saturday morning.

Mrs. Peterman, who had accompanied her husband, Delworth to the Crivitz deer area, was struck by a stray bullet that plunged through the wall of the farm home in which she was visiting. The bullet struck her in the breast, and she died almost immediately.

Mr. Blindauer, who had gone to Florence county with a party of friends from this county, was hit by a bullet shortly before noon Saturday while hunting in Fence township, Florence county, and died about 5:15 p.m. Saturday.

The Petermans were visiting at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Hruska, former Sheboygan residents, about three miles east of Crivitz. They were accompanied by their three year old son, David, and by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reichert, 2404 S. Seventeenth street.

Mr. Peterman and Mr. Reichert had been hunting early Sunday and had returned to the farm home shortly before 10 a.m.

All were gathered in the home when the bullet pierced the wall and hit Mrs. Peterman, who was seated in a chair at the time.

The bullet had been fired by John Dalluge, 23, who lived two farms distant from the Hruska home. Dalluge said he fired three shots at a deer running across a field and then fired two more when he thought the deer was out of line with the house. An inquest was to be held today.

Mr. Peterman and Mr. Reichert returned to Sheboygan this morning, and the body of Mrs. Peterman is to arrive here late today.

Mr. Blindauer was shot underneath his right arm. One of the first persons to reach him was a nephew, Jerome Blindauer, who had been living at the Blindauer home at Erdman and had accompanied Mr. Blindauer on the hunting trip. A coroner's jury ruled that Mr. Blindauer was wounded by an unidentified hunter.

Mr. Blindauer's hunting companions were his brother, Frank, also of Sheboygan, route 1, his nephew, Jerome, Louis Bender and son, Donald, of the town of Mosel, Arwin Kaemmer, of the town of Lima, and Herman Wehmeyer, town of Herman.

The body of Mr. Blindauer was brought to Gerend's Funeral home where brief rites will be held at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday followed by a requiem high mass at 10 a.m. at St. Dominic's church. The Rev. I. Staskunas, curate, will be the celebrant at the funeral mass, and burial will be in the family lot at Calvary cemetery.

Friends may call at the funeral home from Tuesday noon until the time of services.

Members of the Holy Name society of St. Dominic's church will recite the rosary for Mr. Blindauer at the funeral home at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Mr. Blindauer was born in the town of Sheboygan Dec. 3, 1903, the son of the late Joseph and Katherine Blindauer. He attended Holy Name school and was married to Elsie Wettstein, of Charlesburg, at St. Dominic's church Aug. 24, 1933, by the Rev. George J, Knackert. Mrs. Blindauer died Feb. 26, 1939.

While driving home from work one day, My total wealth I did survey.
My Mortgaged home and ancient car. A bank account not up to par.
Funiture from which I fear, we may not get another year.
The TV set with stamp-size screen, carpets with the well-worn sheen.
Two suits of clothes not quite threadbare. "All-purpose" shoes that need repair.
Sadly then I saw my plight. After 20 years of toil and flight.
My Treasure Chest was some-what small, with house and car and clothes and all.
On I drove trance-like I fear, when suddenly my house was near.
"Your daddy's home" I heard her cry. As eight pairs of feet went rushing by.
And smothered in arms and curly hair. I knew that I was a Millionaire!
William G. Wood
