Editorial comment:
A former member of the board of education and a strong force in the community's civic life, Joseph Nemetz, of the fifth ward died this week after months of suffering and serious illness.
Of European stock, Mr. Nemetz being born in Czechoslovakia and coming to this country at an early age, he fitted in with the American way of doing thinks and set a high mark for himself. Joe Nemetz prided himself on his honesty. When he determined that a line of action was right, there was nothing that could swerve him from his course. He was fearless and reliable.
A meeting in his home in the fifth ward several years ago is recalled. Friends gathered there to ask him to run for the school board. When he agreed, they knew that friendship would not prevent Joe Nemetz from doing what he thought right. He was elected to the school board. His record is an open page and he was proud of it. And so are his friends. Joe Nemetz gave the best that was in him.
Today Joe Nemetz was laid to his last resting place. City officials, school board members and lodge brothers paid last tributes. The little immigrant boy who came to Manitowoc years ago rightly received honors at his grave befitting any of the city's leading and respected citizens.
