SQUIRES HITS MORE HARD LUCK IS IN HOSPITAL
Motorcycle Officer Marshall Squires of the police department who has been off
duty for ten days because of an injury to his shoulder, will not return to the
force for some time. Squires hit another run of hard luck yesterday when he
was thrown into the ditch on the Town Line road near the Hall farm while
attempting to pass an automobile. Squires suffered a fracture of the leg near
the thigh and is a patient at the hospital where he will be confined for some
time.
Officer Squires was riding his own machine at the time of the accident, not
using the city machine when not on official duty. The motorcycle struck the
rear wheel of the automobile, the motorcycle not having room to clear in
passing. Thomas Sporer is said to have been driving the automobile.

SQUIRES FAILS TO RALLY AND DIES SATURDAY
One of Saddest Cases In History Of The City
Marshall E. Squires, member of the city police force, died at the Holy Family
hospital Saturday afternoon at 5:15 without regaining consciousness after
having been in a state of coma for six days. The funeral will be held Tuesday
morning at 9 o'clock with services at Sacred Heart church, the Rev. W.J. Luby
officiating and burial will be at Evergreen. The body is at the Urbanek &
Wattawa company chapel.
Marshall Squires was born at Stoughton, Wis., July 18, 1891. His mother died
when he was three months of age and he was taken to the home of the grandmother,
mother of Mrs. Squires, to live. When Marshall reached two years of age the
father disappeared and since that date has never been heard from. He continued
to make his home with his grandmother and with her moved to Stevens Point,
where she still makes her home.
Squires gained his education in the public shcools at Steven Point. In 1912
he moved to this city and in 1913 was married to Margaret Weirichs. August 14,
1916 he joined the Manitowoc Police department and has since remained a member
of the force. Four years ago he purchased a home on Huron street on the
installment plan and everything appeared to be going well with the family.
Three babes were born to the couple, a girl and two boys.
Series of Misfortunes
Then came a series of misfortunes which ended with the death of Squires at the
hospital Saturday afternoon after one of the most heroic fights for life ever
made by a man. His wife suffered an attack of the flue as the first incident of
the series of ill fortune. She recovered but was left in a weakened condition
and January 31, 1921 both mother and a new born baby died. Squires, left alone
with three small children, tried to conduct his household but finally decided
to comply with the dying wish of the wife and took the children to the home of
her brother, Henry Wierichs, at Eagle River, where they have since made their
home. A year ago last summer Squires was made city speed cop and figured in a
number of accidents in making arrests of offenders.
On Sunday, October 16 he was returning from a trip in the country when he was
given a bad spill in attempting to pass an automobile on the road. He suffered
a broken left leg, the break being within a few inches of the hip and while he
was at the hospital with his leg in a sling to allow the bone to set he fell
victim to an attack of pneumonia. During his delirium the setting of the leg
bone was destroyed and for weeks the man lay with his leg in the sling waiting
patiently for a new set but the mending was slow becuase of the nature of the
break. Then came the attack of appendicitis and the operation and the man in
his weakened condition failed to rally from the shock. He lapsed into a state
of unconsciousness last Monday and died Saturday afternoon at 5:15 at just
about the time that his three children, who had been sent for, were arriving
at the station here. It was a sad home coming for them with nothing to break
the blow which they had to suffer.
Had No Near Relatives
Other than the grandmother, Mrs. Arena Coats of Stevens Point, with whom he
made his home and who arrived here some days ago to be with her grandson,
Squires has no near relatives unless his father is still living somewhere in
these United States. No word was ever received from him either directly or
indirectly after his disappearance twenty-nine years ago. Only the three
orphaned children, Beatrice aged 8, Robert aged 6, and Donald, age 4, survive
him to know grief as it is known to but few children. They will return to
Eagle River to continue to make their home with their uncle and aunt.
Squires was a member of the Modern Woodman lodge but belonged to no other
orders.

Drs. Hammond, Stueck and Donahue perfomed an autopsy on the body of Marshall
Squires Saturday evening to verify a diagnosis of meningitis for which the
patient had been treated for the past ten days and which developed following

SUBSCRIPTION FOR SQUIRES FAMILY STARTED
Headed by two subscriptions of $50 each, the local campaign to raise a trust
fund for the bereaved family of the late Marshall E. Squires was inaugurated
today. Local charitable and city organizations are sponsoring the movement to
raise a trust fund for the three children ranging from three to nine years of
age, and who are at present with an uncle at Eagle River. The latter, who is
endeavoring to make a livelihood on a forty-acre entover farm eight miles
from Eagle River has no means to support the children, which prompted local
public spirited citizens to endeavor to raise a substanital sum.
It is proposed to take the money which is subscribed and create a trust fund
and appoint a trustee here to have charge of the investment, the interest
proceeds of which will be given to the uncle of the children as their legal
guardian, to provide means of support and education.
There is a universal expression of sympathy in the community which will, no
doubt, manifest itself in generous contributions to the fund for the little
family, which death, has robbed of parental love and tenderness.
