IGNATZ DOUBRAVSKY

After an illness of a day, Ignatz Doubrosky(sic) died at his home at 9
o'clock Saturday morning. Since the death of Mrs. Doubrosky about a year
ago, he had lived alone. He was city sexton for several years up to last
fall when he gave up the position and began a shoe repair business. Mr.
Fred Ripple of Chicago, step-son, is the only surviving relative. He was
summoned by telegram but reached the dying man's bedside too late to be
recognized and only a half hour before death came. Mr. Doubrosky
suffered from a bad cold a few days before his death but was up and
around and ate his supper as usual Friday night but shortly thereafter
became very ill and died twelve hours later. The deceased left no will.
He was born in Bohemia in 1844 and has been a resident of this city for
the past 35 years or more. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. Morris officiating.

SON OF DEAD WIFE, NO KIN TO MAN, IS CLAIMING ESTATE
Interesting Contest Over Estate of Deceased City Sexton at Two Rivers-
Estate May Revert to State of Wisconsin
Will the estate of the late Ignatz Douborowski (sic), former city
sexton of Two Rivers, revert to the state of Wisconsin?
This is probable if one of the most interesting contests ever heard
in probate court is decided adversely to Fred Rippel, of Chicago, son
of Douborowski's deceased wife, who claims the estate under promise,
he says, was made him to inherit. Rippel has also filed a claim of
$1,100 against the estate, for services to Douborowski and his wife
and for monies loaned, declaring that he advanced $1,100 in cash to
the couple in recent years. Fred Wilsman, administrator of the estate,
is represented by Attorney J. Healy and Attorney L.W. Ledvina represents
Rippel.
The fact that Rippel is no kin of the dead man, having been the son of
Douborowski's wife by former marriage, and there being no known heirs
of Douborowski, with result in the estate reverting to the state of
Wisconsin, should Rippel's claim be rejected by the court.
Douborowski was city sexton at Two Rivers for many years.
