Der Nord Westen, 20 Mar. 1902: "Last Sun., Dec. 1st, a hut burned down that Civil War veteran Wilhelm Heisenfeldt had erected in the woods near Manitowoc Rapids and which had served as a dwelling for him and his only companion, his dog. Following the fire Heisenfeldt disappeared and it was generally assumed that he had gone to Green Bay from where he came many years ago. On Wed. last week his body was found in the river. Whether he had intentionally jumped into the river or had fallen in while drunk is difficult to answer, but the coroner's jury chose the latter explanation."
