Worried By Domestic Troubles, Ends His Life By Hanging L. BIALOWSKI FOUND DEAD AT SISTER’S HOME Failure to Become Reconciled to Wife and Children Believed Responsible For Act Unable to make “a go of it” with his wife and children, and separated from them for nearly a year, Lawrence Bialkowki, 33, ended his life by hanging himself in the basement of the home of his sister, Mrs. George Waier, 1905 Emmett street, shortly after 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. The sister found the body. A clothes line was used by Bialkowski to end his life. He stood on a box standing 18 inches from the floor to throw the line over a rafter in the basement ceiling. This box he kicked out from under him to bring the rope taut. The body was cut down by Dr. A. M. Farrell who was summoned to the Waier home as soon as the body was discovered. No Inquest Dr. W. G. Kemper was called from Manitowoc but as it was a plain case of suicide, no inquest was ordered. It was reported that burial would probably take place from the Catholic church at Newton Saturday morning with interment there. Dr. Farrell announced that Bialkowski, who was 33 years of age, was dead when he was cut down. The deceased was born in the town of Newton but has been a resident of Two Rivers for the past fourteen years and has been employed at Plant No. 4 of the Goods company since locating here. He separated from his wife about a year ago and divorce proceedings have been pending it was reported. Mrs. Bialkowski makes her home at Manitowoc with her parents and has with her the three children, (private). Mr. Bialkowski was born in Newton, April 20, 1898, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Bialkowski, pioneer residents of that town. He lived on the farm up to 15 years ago when he married Lila Malkowski, of Manitowoc, and a year later moved to Two Rivers. Besides his wife and children and his parents, he is also survived by four sisters, Mrs. George Waier, and Mrs. Theodore Bialkowski, both of this city, Mrs. Jack Mostowski, Chicago and Mrs. Matt Muchowski, of Manitowoc, and two brothers, Joseph of Newton and Ignatz, of Manitowoc. Family Troubles Bother Him Friends of the dead man here reported that he has brooded continually about his domestic troubles and his failures to become reconciled again. It is thought that while in one of these spells he went down in the basement of his sister’s home Wednesday afternoon and decided to end his life. Bialkowski was a great fisherman and there were numerous snap shots among his personal effects showing him in fishing poses. Manitowoc Herald News, September 10, 1931 P. 19
