ANTON PROCHAZKA
DIES ON BIRTH DAY ANNIVERSARY
Anton Prochazka, Pioneer Machinist and Boat Builder, Is Called
Death, on the day that marked the anniversary of his birth, brought to a close
the life of Anton Prochazka, the pioneer boat builder and machinist of the city,
his demise due to heart failure, occurring at an early hour today. Mr. Prochazka
had been a sufferer for many than a year. He is survived by a widow and three
children, Addie, Clara and Henry, all of this city. There are also two brothers
and four sisters. The funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon from the late
home 310 North Ninth Street.
Coming to America in 1850, Mr. Prochazka was at Watertown, St. Louis, Mo.,
Reedsville and Manitowoc in turn. He learned the machinist and boat builders
trade at Watertown and located at Reedsville in 1857, taking a position as
engineeer in a saw mill. Coming here in 1859 he started a machine shop in
Manitowoc and a few years later in company with Hanson and Scove built the
revenue cutter, "Andy Johnson". He conducted the machine shop on Ninth street
in company with A. Chloupek until 1900 when he became associated with Clarence
Smalley in the same business. He retired in November, 1901. Mr. Prochazka was
one of the men whose early career was lined with the progress of the city and
though he never held public office, was closely identified with the welfare of
the town. In him the city recognized a business man of integrity and his death
will be deeply deplored.
