Mrs. Mathias Spranger died as her home in the village Monday, June 4th, 1906 at the age of 74 years, after a lingering illness of about three months with cancer from which she suffered undescribable agony at times, though everything was done for her that loving care and medical skill could afford to ease her suffering, when on Monday death came as a sweet release to her, as she looked forward to a happy future in the hereafter . But for the surviving members of the family it seems a dark cloud that shrouds over their home and took from them their dearly beloved mother and even casts a shadow of sorrow over her many friends who had learned to love and respect her as only true friends can. Mrs. Sprangers was formerly Miss Berdiena Bacot , daughter of H. Bacot and was, up to her death, the only surviving member of her father's family. She was born in the city of Arnhem, Guelderland, Holland, Sept. 3rd, 1831, and the 10th day of Sept. 1846, Mrs. Sprangers accompanied her family to America where on May 30, 1848 she became the wife of Mathias Sprangers a native of Lage Zwalwue, North Brabandt, Holland. Unto Mr. And Mrs. Sprangers were born a family of 13 children of which two daughters and three sons survuve, Huberdina the wife of Henry Benefelt of Milwaukee; Henriette, the wife of James Lamb, a farmer in Holland township; Mathias, who is also a farmer in that town; Walter, who is a real estate agent an farmer near Ootsburg and Rev. John Sprangers of Brillion. Mrs. Sprangers was one of the oldest pioneers of Holland township having resided on a farm until 1883 when she moved to Ootsburg where she had purchased a beautiful little home in the village and spent the remainder of her life there. Mrs. Sprangers was an active member of St. George Catholic church as was also her esteemed husband who preceded her in death many years ago. The funeral was held Thursday morning from the St. George Catholic church Rev. Father Paul E. Schiedel assisted by several other priests officiated. The remains were laid at rest in the St. George Cemetery in Wilson township. Thus one of our oldest pioneers who lived in Holland township for about 60 years has passed to the better land and to many of her friends it is but another reminder that our stay in this world is very short and soon our pilgramage must end; then let us strive to live so that we can say as did our deceased friend, " It is well with my soul".

Sprangers - Mrs. Bernardina Sprangers, a highly esteemed old resident of the town of Holland, died Monday evening, June 4, 1906, at her home in Ootsburg, after an illness of over two months, aged 74 years. Her husband died 22 years ago. Mrs. Sprangers, was born in the Netherlands in 1831 and came with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Peter Lyser, to America and this county in 1846, where two years later she was united in marriage to Mr. Sprangers.

Five children survive as follows: Matthias, of the town of Holland; Rev. John Sprangers, of Brillion; Walter H., of Lima; Mrs. H. Bielefeld, of Milwaukee and Mrs. James Lamb of the town of Holland. The funeral will take place at 10:00 o'clock this Thursday morning at St. George's Catholic church at Six Corners in the Town of Wilson.

Information added by Ann that is not part of the obit but is additional information

"Bernardina was the daughter of Hendrik {Henry} Dirk Bacot and Alida Theodora Gamelkoorn. Hendrik died in Holland after which Alida married Peter Lyser. Alida and Peter took the family to Wisconsin in 1846. But Bernardina and her siblings never took the name Lyser, always referring to themselves as Bacot's. I don't know why. Maybe that was the custom in those days or if Peter did not formally adopt the children, then they kept their father's name, as is done today."

Slapekis was picked up by County Traffic Officers Gary Hubers and Roland Gilligan within two blocks of the scene of the mishap, which occurred just inside the city limits where Oakland avenue crosses the state highway.The two county traffic officers, both of whom had been out the entire night riding from one end of the county to the other on accident calls, were traveling south on Highway 141 to investigate a call reporting a car in the ditch.

At the city limits, they said today, they noticed an auto swing around at the intersection and thinking something was wrong, followed the vehicle for two blocks to where it stopped.

They accosted Slapekis, the driver, and asked him where he was going. He replied by stating that there was a man lying in the road. The officers stated, "Well, you must have hit him."

In the meantime two city officers riding a squad car came upon the scene and the ambulance was summoned. When it arrived, Mr. Siegworth was dead. Coroner Harry Heiden was summoned and he pronounced the fatal injury a skull fracture.

Information later revealed that Mr. Siegworth's car had stalled on S. Fourteenth street and that he had decided to walk home to be in time for morning chores.

Slapekis was taken to the city lock-up. Chief of Police Walter H. Wagner conferred with the coroner and the county traffic officers and an inquest was ordered by District Attorney Jacob A. Fessler for 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Slapekis was allowed to go to his home without furnishing bail. No formal charges have been placed against him awaiting the findings of the coroner's jury which will meet on the fifth floor of the court house.

Members of the coroner's jury who viewed the body and who will listen to testimony Wednesday afternoon are Al Steffen, Henry Knocke, A. T. Lamb, Carl Grube, Walter Friese and Arthur Quast.

Mr. Siegworth was born in the town of Wilson Aug. 4, 1894. He attended the St. Peter Claver school, and on Sept. 13, 1915, was married to Miss Christina Ackermann of Sheboygan.

Following his marriage he worked a farm and for the past four years has lived on the homestead on County Trunk EE a mile east of Highway 141.

He was a member of the St. Peter Claver church and also a member of the Royal Order of Moose. A vigil will be held at 7:30 p.m. today and at 8 o'clock the Moose lodge will conduct services.

The funeral will be held Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. at the Ramm Funeral home and at 9 o'clock at St. Peter Claver church. The Rev. Father C. J. Hausner will officiate and burial will be made in Calvary cemetery. The body may be viewed from 7 p.m. today until time of services.

Alois M. Siegworth, 41, sales manager for the Modern Dairy of this city and treasurer of the Danish Dairy at Manitowoc, passed away at St. Nicholas hospital at 8:25 p.m. Monday.

Although it was known that he had been seriously ill, his death will come as a shock to his many friends in this community, for just recently he had returned to his home from the hospital. A relapse occurred, however, which proved fatal Monday evening.

In addition to being well known and having many friends, he was an important factor in the growth of the Modern Dairy, having joined that organization in 1931 shortly after its origin here. He was also active in the credit bureau of the Sheboygan Association of Commerce.

He enjoyed sports of all kinds, especially hunting, fishing, and bowling, and was a member of The Sheboygan Press bowling team of the Elks' Goodfellowship Bowling league. He was a member of the Rotary club, Sheboygan Association of Commerce, and Sheboygan Lodge No. 299 of the Elks.

Alois M. Siegworth was born June 17, 1902, in the Town of Wilson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Siegworth. As a boy he attended the St. Peter Claver school. As a young man he entered sales work and was so capable in that field that he was made sales manager when he joined the Modern Dairy organization.

His marriage to Miss Susan Van Ess of the Town of Wilson occurred on July 16, 1921.

Survivors include his wife and one daughter, Germaine, at home and one son, Corp. Roger Siegworth with the U.S. armed forces in Africa; his mother, Mrs. Henry Siegworth; two sisters, Mrs. Adolph P. {Helen} Heisdorf and Mrs. Raphael {Ardella} Reding, the later of Haven. His father and a brother, Frank, preceded him in death.

"Al", as he was familiarly called, enjoyed an extensive acquaintance both here and in Manitowoc. He was jovial, and had a sense of humor that drew friends to him. He loved the great outdoors, and enjoyed both hunting and fishing as a pastime. He was an ideal husband and father, and here his death falls with stunning force.

During his illness he was constantly thinking of his son far away in Africa and repeatedly expressed the wish that he might see him. This is one of the sad events, another illustration how war can make distance so great at times. He played a part in civic undertakings, and had a business knowledge which made him most valuable on committees. At the Modern Dairy where he was an officer, he was esteemed by management and employees alike. His death is a severe loss to the community.

Funeral services will be held at 8:30 a.m., Friday, at the Gerend Funeral home and at 9 a.m. at Holy Name church. Friends may call at the funeral home from 3 p.m., Wednesday, until the hour of the services.

{Mrs. Catherine} Slattery, wife of {John} Slattery of Mitchell, passed away at the home of her son Edward {?} in that town at four o'clock {?}ay morning, Nov. 21st 1918, {due to} the infirmities of old age. Deceased was one of the old pioneers of Mitchell coming to that town in the early fifties, and continually living here ever since. She was one of that sturdy stock, that never shirked a burden, no matter how heavy it might be, but with a light heart and a steadfast determination to forge ahead and overcome any obstacle that came in the way of obtaining the goal of their ambition and that laudable ambition was to make a home in the wilderness for themselves and family. Reverses and difficulties they brushed aside, for they reasoned that if they failed today, they would succeed tomorrow, and the result of their labor is plainly seen by the casual observer as he travels the country roads of our country and sees the hills and dales dotted with beautiful buildings, large and spacious barns and everything denoting happiness and prosperity. Also actuated by a christian spirit and ready at all times to bow the head in adoration, when the word of God was spoken, their human weaknesses they had, but they always endeavored to keep pace with christianity and civilization and furthermore, they never forgot their fealty to the land of their adoption. Such were the pioneers of Wisconsin and the subject of our sketch was classed in that category.

Mrs. Slattery was born in Ireland in 1830 and came to this country when sixteen years of age, and after a few years residence in Montpelier, Vermont, where she was married to John Slattery, the family came to the town of Mitchell, Sheboygan County in 1861. She is survived by seven children as follows: Mrs. John Michaels, Mrs. Thomas Gahagan, Edward, Michael and Pat of the town of Mitchell, Dan of St. Louis, Mo., and Mrs. Henry Gahagan of this city.

The grief-stricken family have the sincere sympathy of the community in their hour of sorrow.

Again we are called upon to record the death of another of Mitchell's most worthy citizens in the person of John Slattery. Death is always an unwelcome guest, but particularly in this case where the victim becomes indispensable to the welfare, not alone of his own family and friends, but of his neighbors and the arrival public. Many will mourn the death of John Slattery and those who knew him best will mourn him most. He was a lovable character so gentle and sympathetic that he left his happiness wherever he went. On coming in contact with him you always felt that charm you never feel except among educated Irishmen. While he was a man of ideals {he} was a strong man intellectually. He did his share in public affairs, he made his friends and smoothed over the rough places of the less fortunate, such men are a blessing and the world is better for their having him in it.

John Slattery was born in the city of Pittsburg, Pa., 1860. He came with his parents to the town of Mitchell when but two months old, where he has continuously lived to the time of his death, which occurred on July 31, 1911, after an illness of {7}? months. He was married to Miss Mary Michals in 1883. He is survived by his wife and 2 children, a son George and a daughter Miss Magdaline, also by his mother Mrs. John Slattery Sr. and 4 brothers Daniel of St. Louis, Michael, Edward and Patrick of the town of Mitchell and 3 sisters, Mrs. Henry Gahagan of Plymouth, Mrs. Thos. Tahagan {sic} and Mrs. Michals of Osceola.

The funeral was held from St. Michael's church in the town of Mitchell on the 3 o'clock inst. and was under the auspices of Court 12{??} of the Catholic Order of Foresters of Parnell and Court No. 814 of Eden. Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Fisher. The pallbearers were John Lindsay, John Revine, {sic?}Michael Gilboy, Philip Ling {sic}?, John Mugan and Peter Murphy, all brother foresters. The funeral was directed by Jas. Alboy {sic}?. Friends from away who attended the funeral were Daniel and the Misses Slattery of St. Louis. Messrs. Ed, Geo. and Peter Flood of Eden who represented the Catholic Foresters of that town and Mr. Matt. Fallus, wife and son of Port Washington. The funeral was largely attended, the neighboring towns being fully represented. Those who knew John Slattery through life can testify to the many estimable qualities of mind and heart with which he {was} blessed. He was ever a gentleman, honest in his dealings with his fellow men, considerate and kindly always, and blessed with the spirit of true Christian charity, an affectionate father, a loving husband, a devout and faithful member of the Catholic {church} to whose teachings he strictly adhered in his home life as well as in his daily intercourse with the outside world, he was a modest man, retiring and reserved in his manner, an optimist in disposition, a good citizen, without an enemy. The widow and children have the sincere sympathy of the community in their great irreparable loss. May his soul rest in peace.

{It is} our painful duty to record the {dea}th of another of the old pioneer {se}ttler{s} of the town of Mitchell in the person of John Slattery, who died at his home on Sept. 5th after a short illness, death being due to old age. The funeral was held from St. Michael's church on Friday and interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. Funeral services were conducted by Father Burke. The pallbearers were the sons of the deceased, John, Michael, Patrick and Edward. Mr. Slattery was born June 24th 1820, in Castleton, Tipperary county, Ireland; imigrated to the United States in 1847. On the 7th of January 1850 he was married to Miss Catherine Burke at Montpelier, Vermont; there he lived until 1861 when he with his family came to Wisconsin and settled on the farm in the town of Mitchell, where he resided up to the time of his death. Mrs. Slattery who survives her husband is in her 76th year and on January 7, 1901 the then happy couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Slattery were blessed with eleven children; two of them died in infancy. The {?} surviving children are John, Michael, Patrick, Edward and Thomas re{sid}ing in the town of Mitchell, and {Dan}iel employed in the police force of {?} city of St. Louis, Mo., and Mesdames Thomas Gahagan, Henry Gahagan, John Michaels and 19 grand-children reside in the town of Mitchell {Sheboygan county}.

A man of high intellectual {?}ers, great natural abilities. Keen {?}eptions of a rigid and sterling in{tegr}ity and a high appreciation of the {?} obligations existing between {?}. He was always ready and willing to extend the hand of fellowship {to those} in need; always foremost in the {?} christian charity, A Christ{?} {?} imitation, a faithful, liberal member of his church, {?}, meek and retiring {?} and if he contributed to {?} the hand that gave it was hidden from the other.

Relatives and friends in this community were deeply grieved, when the sad news reached here Saturday of the untimely death at Butte, Montana of Mrs. Alexander SauVe, formerly Miss Fannie Hughes of Mitchell. Mrs. SauVe was born in Mitchell and a great part of her girlhood days were spent there. On September 25, 1911 she was united in marriage to Alexander SauVe and has since resided in Montana. Three years ago she spent the greater part of the summer here visiting her father, the late James Hughes of Mitchell {Sheboygan county}. Her death was due to cardiac embolism, following an operation and came as a great shock, as her friends had received cards stating that she was recovering nicely, but God ordained otherwise, "God's ways are ways of righteousness and all His paths are peace." She will be sadly missed in the home made desolate by her death, and the memory of her cheerful disposition and noble, unselfish character will ever be an inspiration to those left to mourn her loss. Besides the grief stricken husband, she is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Frank Hughes of Canada, Manley Hughes of Mitchell, Edward Hughes of Chicago, and Albert of South Dakota, Mrs. Mary Rietz of Elkhart Lake, Mrs. Andrew O'Connell of Beechwood, Miss Margaret Hughes of Chicago and Miss Jennie Hughes who was with her at the time of her death.

Two Sheboygan boys, aged 16 and 13, lost their lives by drowning at the mouth of Pigeon river this morning at about 10:30 o’clock.

They were Rudolph Serketich, 16, and Steven Serketich, 13, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Serketich, 2632 N. Twentieth street.

Identification was made through a check-up of bicycle licenses at the police station, as a bicycle bearing the license number 233 was found at the river, together with a little pile of clothing such as pants, shirts, shoes and a towel.

An unidentified person swimming in the lake near the mouth of the river heard the boys playing and then heard them scream for help. He ran to the nearest farm to telephone and Sheriff Walter A. Knopp and Office Walter Gannon were the first on the scene.

Later Officers Frank Fox and Joseph Bezoenik of the police department arrived in the ambulance with grappling hooks. Assistant Fire Chief August Sokoll and Firemen Clarence Henning and Herb Ploetz arrived with the fire company’s inhalator and William J. Gehr and Arthur Phenicie of the Wisconsin Public Service company arrived with their inhalator.

No one knew exactly where the two lads had gone into the water, so boats were obtained and police and firemen began to drag the river, which at that spot is full of holes and in some places 14 to 16 feet deep.

Fireman Herb Ploetz and Officer Joseph Bezoenik shed their clothes and tried swimming and diving for the bodies.

After about an hour the first body was brought to the surface, and it was that of the younger Serketich boy.

Firemen immediately applied the inhalator, but the lad had been under water for about an hour and nothing whatever could be done to save him. Meanwhile the dragging continued for the other boy and shortly before 12 o’clock this noon his body was found.

Another Serketich lad, the son of the older brother of the two victims, John Serketich was with the two lads when they started to swim and he stated that Steven was the first to step into a hole and that Rudolph grabbed him and tried to pull him out.

Rudolph gradually went into deeper water and finally both of them went under. The young Serketich boy, who was a nephew of the two victims, said they both came to the surface once or twice, struggling, and then disappeared. The lad then ran to his home and notified the family.

Acting Coroner William Van Zanten checked both lads and stated that death was due to drowning.

As soon as the license number of the bicycle was checked, the parents were notified and Mr. Serketich was brought to the scene.

The Rev. Father George Knackert was notified and he drove to the scene and administered the last rites of the church.

Survivors are the parents, three brothers, John, Sgt. Joseph Jr., and Paul, and four sisters, Mary, Angeline, Dorothy and Rose. Two brothers and two sisters preceded them in death, William, George, Veronica, and Eva.

Steven attended sixth grade at St. Dominic’s school and Rudolph was a freshman at North High school. Both attended St. Dominic’s church and were confirmed there. Both were members of John Serketich’s Boy Scout Troop No. 57.

Both boys were active in the family tambountzian orchestra and Rudolph played on the St. Dominic’s CYO baseball team.
