LAWRENCE BIALKOWSKI

Worried By Domestic Troubles, Ends His Life By Hanging
L. BIALOWSKI FOUND DEAD AT SISTER'S HOME
Failure to Become Reconciled to Wife and Children Believed Responsible For Act
Unable to make "a go of it" with his wife and children, and separated from
them for nearly a year, Lawrence Bialkowki, 33, ended his life by hanging
himself in the basement of the home of his sister, Mrs. George Waier, 1905
Emmett street, shortly after 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The sister found
the body.
A clothes line was used by Bialkowski to end his life. He stood on a box
standing 18 inches from the floor to throw the line over a rafter in the
basement ceiling. This box he kicked out from under him to bring the rope
taut. The body was cut down by Dr. A. M. Farrell who was summoned to the
Waier home as soon as the body was discovered.
No Inquest
Dr. W. G. Kemper was called from Manitowoc but as it was a plain case of
suicide, no inquest was ordered. It was reported that burial would probably
take place from the Catholic church at Newton Saturday morning with interment
there.
Dr. Farrell announced that Bialkowski, who was 33 years of age, was dead when
he was cut down. The deceased was born in the town of Newton but has been a
resident of Two Rivers for the past fourteen years and has been employed at
Plant No. 4 of the Goods company since locating here. He separated from his
wife about a year ago and divorce proceedings have been pending it was reported.
Mrs. Bialkowski makes her home at Manitowoc with her parents and has with her
the three children, (private).
Mr. Bialkowski was born in Newton, April 20, 1898, and was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Anton Bialkowski, pioneer residents of that town. He lived on the farm up
to 15 years ago when he married Lila Malkowski, of Manitowoc, and a year later
moved to Two Rivers.
Besides his wife and children and his parents, he is also survived by four
sisters, Mrs. George Waier, and Mrs. Theodore Bialkowski, both of this city,
Mrs. Jack Mostowski, Chicago and Mrs. Matt Muchowski, of Manitowoc, and two
brothers, Joseph of Newton and Ignatz, of Manitowoc.
Family Troubles Bother Him
Friends of the dead man here reported that he has brooded continually about
his domestic troubles and his failures to become reconciled again. It is
thought that while in one of these spells he went down in the basement of
his sister's home Wednesday afternoon and decided to end his life.
Bialkowski was a great fisherman and there were numerous snap shots among
his personal effects showing him in fishing poses.
