Here is someone's brick wall:
Edited on Fri May-21-10 11:56 AM by shraby
I have him on my Manitowoc county, Wisconsin site at:
<http://www.2manitowoc.com>
He is in the Two Rivers Pioneers' Rest cemetery. His surname could be
Jakel also as many times J and Y were interchangeable because of how
the person pronounced it.

FIND AGED MAN DEAD IN BED; BOARDING HOME
William Yakel, a resident of Two Rivers for fifteen years and employed by
the city, was found dead in bed this morning shorltly after 5 o'clock at
the David Greenwood home, River street, where he has been a boarder. The
death is attributed to a heart attack which the man suffered some time
during the night.
Mr. Yakel was born in Germany in 1841 and was past eighty-five years of
age. He is said to have come to this country about thirty years ago,
locating in Wisconsin and fifteen years ago came to this city. Nothing
much is known about him as he was uncommunicative. The funeral will be
held Saturday afternoon from the Deduhn and Goetz mortuary.
