Floyd Bay passed away Monday, December 1, 2003 after a short illness at Appleton Medical
Center. He was born July 23, 1912 to the late Edwin and Anne Bay.
Like those of his generation, Floyd faced tremendous challenges early in life. At the age
of 17 the stock market collapsed commencing the worst economic depression in history
culminating in World War II. As a teen, he worked on a cousin’s farm for room and board
and enough firewood to heat the family home during winter. He often hopped freight trains
in search of work throughout the Midwest and South. During World War II, he joined the
military serving with the Seabees in the South Pacific. Following the war, he returned to
Kaukauna to reunite with his family and work as an electrician for Thilmany Pulp and Paper
Company from which he retired in 1977.

sons Buck (Bruce) and wife Jackie, St. Louis, MO; Dan and wife Deborah, San Rafael, CA;
Scott (Michael), Minneapolis, MN; Tom, Kaukauna; and daughter Debra and her husband Wayne
Nighorn, Pulaski, WI; sister-in-law, Celmira Bay, Asuncion, Paraguay. Additionally, 11
grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, many loving nieces and nephews survive him. Besides
his parents, sisters Sallie and Ruth, and, recently, brother Clyde preceded him in death.
As were his wishes there will be no funeral. A celebration of his memory and life will be
held at Van Abel’s Supper Club in Hollandtown on Saturday, January 17, 2004 from 11 a.m.
until 3 p.m. Friends who knew Floyd are welcome to join the family and share in this
celebration. Those wishing further information about this event can call 920.759.4423 or
email mbay @ mn.rr.com.
Floyd’s early life provided a rich foundation of stories and opinions about national and
local events. An avid reader known for his wit and candor, Floyd would often contribute to
the Appleton Post-Crescent’s It’s Your Call. His stories about his early life are
legendary. Both poignant and humorous, they told of a time filled with incredible
struggles and human relationships.
A special thank you goes out to the staff of doctors, nurses and aides at Appleton Medical
Center, Dr. Danz and Kaukauna Medical Clinic. Their compassion for Floyd and his family
was simply amazing during the last week of his life. In addition, the family expresses its
gratitude to an exceptional cadre of friends who provided assistance over the past couple
of years.
Floyd, as you passed through those gates, we know you were met by a lot of the buddies who
preceded you. They missed you just as much as you missed them. We miss you, too, and look
forward to joining up with you again, when it is our time to come.

been chief agent for the Treasury Department in Minneapolis and head of the Treasury
Department's alcohol unit in St. Paul. Harney became head of the Illinois Narcotics
Control Division after his federal service. He retired from that post in 1960 at age 65.
Born in Duluth, he played fullback for the University of Minnesota football team before
serving in the Marine Corps during World War I. Harney became a Treasury agent in 1920. He
was credited with helping build a federal income tax case that sent the nation's No. 1
gangster, Al Capone, to prison in 1932. In 1936, Harney was credited with supplying the
informer who helped convict New York racketeer Louis "Lepke" Buchalter in a narcotics
conspiracy trial. In 1947 he was named chief coordinator of all Treasury Department
enforcement agencies, commanding more than 3000 officers and agents in the fight against
narcotics. In retirement Hardy wrote two books still used in law enforcement work, "The
Informer in Law Enforcement" and "Narcotics Officers Notebook". He is survived by four
brothers, John of Brainerd, MN.; Thomas of Dunkirk, N.Y., Leo of Cloquet, MN.; and Martin
of Montreal, Wisconsin, and a sister, Catherine Osbolt of Hot Springs Ark.. Services will
be at noon Wednesday in the Werness Brothers Funeral Chapel. Burial will be in Fort
Snelling National cemetery.
1984 Duluth News Tribune and Herald dated 2/29/1984; Esko's "Mal" Harny, a
former T-man, dies - Malachi L. "Mal" Harney, 88, an Esko native who had a direct role in
smashing the crime empires of Al Capone and Murder Inc. will be buried in Fort Snelling
National cemetery today. Harney, one of seven children raised on a family farm in Esko,
died Friday in St. Louis Park, Minn., Health Care Center. He was born in Duluth. At the
time of his retirement from the U.S. Treasury Department in 1955, he was said to be as
powerful in federal law enforcement activities as J. Edgar Hoover, though seldom in the
public eye as was the then director of the FBI. Harney at one time had 3000 narcotics
officers and Treasury agents under his command. Early in a 35 year career with the
Treasury Department's law enforcement division - much of it during the roaring '20s and
Prohibition era - he captured a Minnesota bootlegger who killed Harney's brother and
fellow agent, James, at a moonshine still deep in the woods near Wright and Tamarack.
Later, he was involved in investigations and prosecutions of Capone and racketeer Louis "Lepke"
Buchalter, a kingpin in the crime syndicate Murder Inc. Capone was convicted of income-tax
evasion and send to prison in 1932; Lepke went to the electric chair in a 1936 murder and
drug conspiracy case that began through an informant Harney would identify only as "Zeke".
The prosecutor Harney worked with in the Lepke case was Thomas Dewey, who later lost the
campaign for president against Harry S. Truman in a stunning upset. Harney's record as an
agent in the era of "G-men" and "T-men" made him a nemesis of Midwestern bootlegging in
the Prohibition war against the underworld. By the end of World War II, he had risen to
assistant commissioner of Treasury Department's Narcotics Bureau and in 1947 was named
Chief Coordinator of all Treasury Department enforcement agencies.
Washington newspapers of the 1940's and 50's reported Hardy was called upon by Truman to
devise plans for protecting the President. White House aides at that time insisted he was
comparable to FBI chief Hoover in determining federal law enforcement policies. After
retiring from the federal service at age 60, he headed the Illinois Narcotics Control
Division for five years and later coauthored two books still use in police work, "The
Informer in Law Enforcement" and "The Narcotics Officers Notebook." Upon hanging up his
gun, Hardy said, "I never used it, but I let the hoods know it was handy." He also
retained a pride in having been a Treasury agent, saying, "Never underestimate a Treasury
agent. They're like the Royal Mounties - they always get their man." Though born in
Duluth, he was raised on a family farm in Esko mirrored what are now Harney and Himango
roads. He attended school in Cloquet, graduating from high school there, and then attended
the University of Minnesota, where he was a fullback on the Golden Gophers football team.
He was in the Marines during World War I and for a time was a teacher and football coach
at the former Superior East High School before becoming a Treasury agent. His wife,
Gladys, died several years ago. Surviving are four brothers, Leo of Cloquet, John of
Brainerd, Thomas of Dunkirk, New York, and Martin of Montreal Wisconsin, a sister,
Catherine Osbolt of Hot Springs Ark., and several nephews and nieces. The funeral be at
noon today in Werness Brothers Funeral Chapel, Minneapolis with Chapel visitation
beginning at 11:00 a.m.

There's a memory making motion about a beacon burning bright, you're the one who turned my troubled times from darkness into light. Your guiding ray unveiled the way, you counseled till the end - Will I see you again? You always cautioned at the door, "Remember who you are." 'Cause I guess you saw in me what I could be. I needed you to need me, and you stretched a helping hand, unselfishly, so tenderly, left footprints in my sand. You let me understand. There's a notion nestled in me about the rules of the Master Man. Even though you lost the battle here, you won the war in his plan. I'll miss you hugs and eyes that grin; but we'll meet once more, so long till then, When I see you again. Yes, I'm going to see you again.

FACED DEATH FOR OTHERS; Engineer Mike Meehan of the Rio Grande Saves Lives
of Passengers
A Rio Grande engineer stood at his post of duty yesterday afternoon and
faced a horrible death, in order to save the lives of over 150 passengers.
Engineer Michael Meehan of light engine No. 804 was trying desperately to
set the auxiliary brakes with a monkey wrench when his locomotive was
running wildly down the hill north of Sedalia, the ride ending with a
terrible crash as the engine struck passenger train No. 11, ascending the
hill. The air brakes were disabled and the eccentric would not work to
reverse the engine. A last chance lay in setting the auxiliary brakes. A
collision with the passenger at full speed meant terrible loss of life and
the engineer took the chance of being killed in order to do all in his power
to save others. With a crash the monsters struck, head on, and the brave
engineer was crushed between the tender and engine. It was 4:05 o'clock
yesterday afternoon when the accident happened, the passenger having
departed from Denver about an hour earlier. Although the efforts of the
engineer did not prevent the collision, his heroism in doing more than his
duty mitigated the accident. None but the engineer were hurt. Henry Hansen,
fireman on the light engine jumped, as did the men on engine 527, which was
drawing the passenger. All were slightly bruised. Given Best Attention
Engineer Meehan was attended by Dr. J.B. Devlin, the company physician, who
went to the scene of the wreck with the crew sent out to clear the road. He
was placed on the Santa Fe train and arrived in the city at 8 o'clock last
night. The injured engineer was taken to his home at 568 South Water Street
and given the best of medical attention.
Meehan's injuries are considered serious because the exact nature of them
cannot be determined. He complains of pains in the pit of the stomach and in
the abdomen and is undoubtedly hurt internally. The only visible injuries
are a few cuts and bruises about the face. Meehan did not lose consciousness
and suffered a great deal of pain. An encouraging sign was the absence of
hemorrhage.
Both locomotives were derailed and badly smashed. None of the coaches of the
passenger train left the track, however, and no one was hurt except the
engineer who tried to avert the collision. The rails were torn up for some
distance and traffic stopped about six hours.
It was 300 yards east of Toluca switch that the wreck occurred. The engine
was scheduled to pass the passenger at this point. Being without a train, it
was going at a high rate of speed to make the switch. No. 11 was climbing
the hill rather slowly. Engineer George Root did not understand that there
was something wrong with the other locomotive until it was almost upon his
train. Then he realized the danger indicated by the warning blasts of the
whistle and reversed his engine and jumped.
Dodged Approaching Death
When Root saw the light engine coming it was several hundred yards beyond
the switch. The occupant of the cab of the runaway, however, was busy trying
to stop. He cast frantic glances ahead, knowing that the passenger was about
due, and expecting every moment that the valve would yield to his wrench and
apply the brakes. Finding it was too late, however, he began pulling his
whistle with the most agonizing shrieks imaginable. It required at least
thirty seconds for Root to catch the full significance of the blasts and
then there was hasty work on his engine. Yanking the sand lever wide open,
he shut off steam and opened the air valve at the emergency point, at the
same time pulling back the reverse lever to form an air cushion in the steam
cylinders. All this was done so rapidly that it required probably two
seconds for the whole performance. Root's fireman was down in the gangway
and was warned with a yell to jump. Out he went and just an instant before
the crash Root followed.
Meehan did not attempt to jump. He had pulled into the siding and Fireman
Hansen was behind closing the switch. The engine was rolling along about as
fast as a walk, when the fireman came up and started to climb aboard. Meehan
suddenly told him he could not stop the engine and thought that by running
he could get down below the north end of the switch and flag the approaching
express. The fireman started to run ahead, but the engine increased its
speed and soon caught him. Then he jumped up on the pilot and began waving
his arms and finally his jacket in an effort to warn the engineer ahead.
This was unsuccessful and Meehan began to toot the whistle and the fireman
jumped. Meehan remained on board, and tried to get out of the way of the
sides of the tank, which were certain to crush him against the boiler when
the crash came. He could not get quite far enough and was caught and
squeezed in bad shape when the engines came together. The two machines met
and wrestled in mighty throes for at least fifteen seconds, and during all
this time - it seemed like an hour - the passengers were wondering what was
coming next. They were almost thrown out of the windows by the sudden
reversing and application of air, but the heavy coaches in the rear were
tightly locked to the rails and took up much of the buffing.
Roar of Awful Conflict
The final crash was terrifying, for with the grinding and breaking of steel
and iron was added the roar and hiss of escaping steam, which lasted for
several minutes and hid from view the awful scene up ahead. Then the work of
relief started and to the astonishment of everybody the brave engineer was
alive, although badly hurt and suffering great agony.
A great deal of work was required to open the road because the two heavy
engines were so badly smashed ad interlocked. Trains No.2 and No. 19 were
due at the scene of the wreck soon after it occurred. Both were compelled to
stop because of it. The passengers and baggage on the two trains were
transferred to No.11, which brought them to Denver, arriving at 9 o'clock.
The load of No. 11 was taken on by the trains on the other side of the
wreck.
The injured engineer has been in constant service with the Rio Grande for
seventeen years. He had never been injured before, and was considered one
the best men in the employ of the company. He has a wife and five children.
The following is taken from the personal injury records of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad Co.: Date: April 24, 1900; Train: Ex (express) Michael
Meehan, Engineer, Denver Place: Toluca
Fatally injured. Died the following day. In head end collision between light
engine #804 that he was running and train #11. It is claimed that engine
#804 could not be stopped owing to airbrakes being defective, no wheels on
hand brakes in tank and piston head coming off in right cylinder, rendering
water brake reverse lever and throttle practically useless. Probably caught
between corner of tanks and cab of engine in attempting to set hand brake
with monkey wrench.
Claim paid: July 14, 1900 $1500 Louise Meehan, wife
1900 Denver Post; April 27, 1900; FUNERAL OF MICHAEL MEEHAN; Many Friends
Pay Tribute to a Brave Engineer
A large crowd of friends gathered at St. Joseph's Church at 9:30 o'clock
this morning to do honor to Michael Meehan. The services were held for this
brave engineer, who met with the accident that caused his death, while at
the post of duty, were held under the auspices of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Division No. 451 and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, Division 273. The coffin was heaped about with beautiful floral
offerings. Reverend Father Brandt officiated. The pall bearers, all of whom
were members of one of the two orders in charge, were Patrick Keneran, Frank
Hockenburger, Henry Henson, James Slattery and John Dale.
A short service was conducted at the grave by the lodges. John T. Brown,
chaplain and J.W. Rice, chief engineer officiating.
(The Denver Daily News lists his place of burial as Mount Calvary Cemetery.)
1900 Port Washington Star; Saturday, May 12, 1900; Michael Meehan, an
engineer on the Rio Grande railway, who 17 years ago was a resident of this
city, heroically stood at his post and saved the lives of 150 passengers
near Sedalia, (about 15 miles south of Denver) on Tuesday, April 24 and gave
up his own. The cause of the accident was the disabling of the air brakes,
but instead of trying to save his own life he remained on the engine and set
the auxiliary brakes with a wrench. The speed of the train was slackened,
but the engine crashed into another and Meehan was killed. No other person
was hurt. He left a wife and five children. The funeral was held Friday,
April 27 and was largely attended.
