Here he remained until death relieved him of all earthly sufferings. During his residence here he has shown himself to be an honest, upright citizen and endeared himself to this entire community. He was buried in the village cemetery on Friday, January 29th, followed by a large concourse of mourning relatives and friends. He leaves a wife, three children, father and mother, one sister and two brothers to mourn his untimely death. Two brothers have already gone before him to the home of eternal rest.

FREDERICK MATTHAEUS F. W. Matthaeus of New Holstein Died at Age of 68 New Holstein and the surrounding community was shocked when the news spread last Sunday that one of its most prominent citizens and pioneer business men had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. Frederick William Matthaeus, a son of Jacob Matthaeus and Fredericke, nee Lindow, was born February eleventh, 1861, in town Rhine, Sheboygan county. Here he spent the years of his boyhood. As a youth he moved to Town Newton with his parents where his father conducted a general store for some years. After selling the store the family moved to Kiel where his father opened up a general merchandise and grain business. Trained as a business man in early manhood it was but natural that the deceased would choose the same line of business as his life’s work. Mr. Matthaeus came to New Holstein in 1887, and with Jacob Schmidt as a partner, entered the hardware business. After some years the partnership was dissolved and Mr. Matthaeus carried on the business alone. During a period of 42 years, up to the day of his death he was active in this business. On May 28, 1887, the deceased was united in marriage with Miss Mathilde Menne of Town Rhine. This union was blessed with two children, Milton Matthaeus of New Holstein, with whom the deceased was living at the time of his death, and Norma, Mrs. Earl St. Clair of Milwaukee. On November 11, 1921, the life of Mr. Matthaeus was saddened when his beloved wife was taken from his side by death. He himself enjoyed good health until Sunday morning, Sept. 29, at 10:30 o’clock when he suffered a stroke and passed away suddenly. Besides the children mentioned above, he is survived by one grandchild, Robert St. Clair; one sister, Mrs. Bertha Guetzlow of Manitowoc, and a large number of other relatives and friends. Mr. Matthaeus was a charter member of the Woodman lodge and continued as an active member of the same up to the time of his death. He was also a member of the Calumet club. At the time of his death, Mr. Matthaeus had attained the age of 68 years, 7 months and 11 days. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock from the family home in New Holstein. Rev. A. Geo. Schmid officiated at home, church and grave. Tri-County Record, October 3, 1929
MATHILDA MATTHAEUS The deepest sorrow pervaded the community on Saturday when the news was learned of the death of Mrs. F. W. Matthaeus, a well-known and esteemable woman whose demise occurred about midnight, Friday November 11. She had been in poor health for the past year and in spite of all medical aid no material benefit was derived. The deceased, Mathilda Menne, was born in the town of Rhine, Sheboygan County, August 9, 1866. She resided there with her parents until her marriage to F. Matthaeus on May 28, 1887. The happy couple then came to this village to reside where Mr. Matthaeus operated a hardware store in which business he is still engaged. Mrs. Matthaeus was one of the well known and highly respected women of this section. She was a member of several social organizations and also a member of the Royal Neighbors in which order she was very active. She has gained for herself a wide circle of warm and loyal friends by her companionable ways and her well known trait of toleration and her consideration for others. Her home life was ideal and no sacrifice was too great if it brought comfort to her husband and children. Her meritorious record will stand as a lasting monument to her memory, but even at that there will be a lingering feeling of sorrow, because her life was not spared for just a few years longer, to round out her life and add to the pleasure and comfort of those who will not fail to miss her and her ways and influence. She is survived by her husband, one son Milton of this city and one daughter, Mrs. Earl St. Claire of Milwaukee, besides two sisters, Mrs. Philip Kaiser of this city and Mrs. Henry Waterman of Plymouth, three brothers, Jacob Menne of Milwaukee, John Menne of Sheboygan and Wm. Menne of Minneapolis. Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock and 2:30 at the Lutheran church, after which the remains were interred in the New Holstein cemetery, Rev. Arthur Halboth officiating. New Holstein Reporter, November 18, 1922 (Note: Tombstone reads d. 1921/someone is checking to see which is a typo)

ANDREAS MOELLER Andreas Muller(sic) died of obstruction of the bowels last week. He was taken violently sick soon after indulging in some ice cold refreshments. The dangerousness of his condition was pointed out by Dr. Huberti, who advised him to go to Chicago for an operation. Acting on this advice, Dr. H. accompanied him to Chicago and an operation was performed by Dr. Senn. His condition, however, was too far advanced and he died soon after the removal of the obstruction. He leaves a wife, seven children and a number of friends to mourn his early death.

JOCHIM HENRY MUEHDEL On Monday night, November 13th, Jochim Henry Muedel was called to his eternal reward at the home of his step-daughter, Mrs. Ansel Wagner, in the town of Charlestown, at the age of 86 years, 8 months and 24 days, death having been due to an apoplectic stroke which he suffered in the early part of the evening. The deceased was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, Feb. 19, 1836. He came to America in 1865. On May 18, 1880 he was united in marriage at Manitowoc to Mrs. Elscha Lau. For twenty-seven years the couple made their home on a farm in the vicinity of New Holstein. Four years ago they moved to Hayton to spend their declining years at the home of a daughter, Mrs. John Horst. Mrs. Muedel preceded her husband in death several months ago, since which time the latter has been residing at Charlestown. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, Rev. A. C. Plappert of the Reformed church officiating, with interment in the family lot in the New Holstein cemetery. He leaves to survive, one brother and three step-daughters.

JOHN MUEHDEL Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at the Erbe-Hoffman funeral home at 1:30 o’clock for John Muehdel, who passed away at his home at Park Falls Saturday.

KATHERINE MUEHDEL Last Friday night Mrs. Henry Muehdel died in Hayton at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Horst. She had been quite well until within the last few weeks, when a severe attack of heart trouble hastened the end that her advanced years might naturally have expected any day. She had reached the age of 87 years and 8 months. The funeral services were held in Hayton at the home of her daughter where Rev. Halboth officiated and Mr. G. M. Morrissey and Mrs. Helmuth Arps sang two beautiful duets. She was then buried in the cemetery at New Holstein. Mrs. Henry Muehdel whose maiden name was Oldenberg was born December 10, 1834 in Brunsbeittel, Holstein, Germany. In February 2, 1854 she married Hans Jacob Lau and came with him to America in 1866. After a short stay in New Holstein, they settled on the farm now owned by William Dhein. There her husband died in 1878. In 1880 she married Henry Muehdel and they continued to live on the farm till 1891 when they moved to New Holstein. Here they lived most comfortably and happily until 1918 when it seemed wiser to make their home with Mrs. John Horst in Hayton. Mrs. Muehdel was of a warm, impulsive nature, who happier words found expression in outbursts of song quite as readily as in words. She found genuine joy everywhere, in her home, in her work, in her garden and flowers and most of all in people. She took a live and sympathetic interest in all that her friends and acquaintances were doing. Even a few weeks before her death, she inquired most intelligently about people whom she had known but little and whom one might suppose that she had forgotten. She liked to entertain her friends in her home and enjoyed visiting them in theirs. In a larger way, she carried this human interest into the social life of the community, where she became one of the organizers of the Ladies’ Aid Society. It is for this love of others, that those who knew Mrs. Muedhel most admired her and why they now mourn her loss. Mrs. Muedehel is survived by her husband, Mr. J. Henry Muedhel, by her two daughters, Mrs. Ansel Wagner and Mrs. John Horst, by a brother, William Oldenberg, of Charlestown, by five grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.

ERNST MUENSTER The news received here late on Sunday to the effect that Ernst Muenster, a farmer well-known resident of New Holstein and also a well known veteran of the Civil War, had ended his life, Sunday April 9th, came as a shock to the people of this community. The motive of the act was undoubtedly despondency brought on by his prolonged illness. Ernst Muenster was born at Marne, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, May 20, 1843. In 1855 the family emigrated to the U. S., and at once located in the little pioneer settlement of New Holstein, on the farm later operated by the late Joachim Sell. When the call to arms sounded in 1861, two brothers of the Muenster family enlisted, John and Ernst, the former falling in defense of the Flag. Ernst served throughout the war, receiving his baptism of fire under General Grant in the battle of Shiloh, April 1862. With Company A of the 18th Wis., he then followed the movements of the army to Tennessee under General Grant, taking part in the battles of Iuka and Corinth, Jackson and Champion Hills in the second Vicksburg campaign; also in the charge and siege of Vicksburg, serving until the fall of this famous stronghold. With the shifting of Grant to Chattanooga, Mr. Muenster took part in the battle of Missionary Ridge, and later under Gen. Sherman in the battles of Altoona and Goldsboro, and after the fall of the Confederate government, he was honorably discharged and returned to New Holstein. In 1867 he was married to Miss Doris Greve, and the couple took up farming on the farm now owned and operated by their son Edward, two miles south of the village. Here they resided until 1898 when they moved to the village, erecting the handsome residence now occupied by G. M. Matson. In 1909 Mrs. Muenster died, and in 1913, Mr. Muenster sold his residence here and moved to Milwaukee, where he resided until his death, however, frequently coming for a week or two to keep up his acquaintance here. During the past winter, he was a severe sufferer from heart trouble, and despairing of return to his former health, he resolved to end it all. Funeral services were held at his home in Milwaukee, Tuesday, under the auspices of the Wolcott Post, G. A. R., and Wednesday afternoon interment was made in the local cemetery, the Chilton Post G.A.R. having charge of the services. The deceased is survived by one brother, Adolph, of this village, and six children; Edward, of the town of New Holstein; Dr. John Muenster, of Port Washington; Misses Ella, Algenia and Linda, all of Milwaukee; and Ernst, of Chicago.

INA MUENSTER On Tuesday noon at about twelve-thirty, Mrs. Ina Muenster passed away at her home on West Wisconsin avenue. Her death was due to heart trouble. Mrs. Muenster, nee Ina Arens was born in the town of New Holstein on December 27, 1853. She spent her entire life in this community, and on July 11, 1871 she was united in marriage to Adolph Muenster. After their marriage they resided on a farm in the town of New Holstein until 1900 when they moved to this city. Mr. Muenster passed away a number of years ago. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Herman Tiedjens and Mrs. Roy Harneck, both of this city; and two sons, Herman and Rudolph Muenster, also of this city. Seventeen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren also mourn her death. Funeral services were held on Friday afternoon from the residence, the Rev. A.

JOHN G. NAGELER John G. Nageler was born in Oldenburg, Germany, March 27, 1858 and received as thorough an education as the elementary schools of his native land afforded. At the age of 15 he came with his parents and sister to this country, the family locating at New Holstein. John’s education was now supplemented by a course at the Chilton High school after which he taught in the schools of the country. Remarkable was his power of acquiring command of the English language both in its pronunciation and its idioms. A year or two sufficed to enable him to speak the language with the ease and correctness of one “native here and to the manor born.” To perfect himself in his chosen profession he later took a course of training at the State Normal school at Oshkosh from which institution he graduated in June 1885. He now engaged actively in his life’s work, teaching a number of years at San Antonia, Texas; Janesville, Chilton and Milwaukee, everywhere with pre-eminent success. He was heart and soul a devotee of his profession and master of its fundamental principles but withal a thorough believer in the individuality of the teacher. Mr. Nageler always enjoyed excellent health until about three weeks ago, when he was prostrated by an attack of appendicitis. The attack was not of a very acute type at first for he managed to be at school a full week, when, however, he decided to be treated at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Milwaukee. An operation now became necessary, which was successfully performed, Friday, September 20. But a new enemy, lurking and treacherous, now threatened a fatal outcome—his heart began to fail and Wednesday evening, Sep. 25th gave way completely, and the eyes of the sick man closed in sleep everlasting. Funeral services were held at Milwaukee on Friday under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias and the Principals’ Association of Milwaukee, after which the remains were sent to his old home, New Holstein, for interment. Here hosts of his old time friends and neighbors followed his body to its last place of rest in the beautiful city of the dead Saturday afternoon, Sept, 28th. Rarely were the expressions of esteem and affection for the dead and regret at his untimely end more genuine and heartfelt and more universal than at his grave on that beautiful, sad autumn afternoon. “Der gute Mensch” were the words that fell from many lips as amid a profusion of flowers, the body was bedded away in Nature’s care and keeping, the mother of all that is or is to be. John Nageler was a kind, considerate son and brother, a genial whole-soled companion, whose cheerful disposition made every gathering where he was present brim over with good fellowship and merriment. He was original in many ways, but sincere and unaffected always. He knew the worth of true manhood, and valued every man according to his standard. He was “no man’s man.” Always true to himself, and for that reason could be false to none. As a friend, faithful and true, as a neighbor, kind-hearted and helpful, as a citizen and man honest, upright and high- minded in every one of his acts, he is mourned by all who knew him. What a memory to cherish and revere for all who mourn his sudden and untimely departure! Chilton Times, October 5, 1901 (Note: He is the brother of Sophia Nageler in the glass negative photos)
PHILIPPINA NAGELER Again our citizens are called upon to mourn the loss of one of its most respected citizens. Mrs. Ph. Nageler who for years has been a sufferer from a very serious heart trouble, died Saturday, Sept. 21, immediately on hearing of the illness of her son, John. Mrs. Nageler was one of those quiet, unassuming ladies who always found a small but very affectionate circle of home friends. She took little time to run about to see what her neighbors were doing, but put forth her best efforts to make her home a paradise for those she loved. She was passionately fond of little children, always having some little keepsake or surprise to share with them. That they mourn her death as grown people, one has but to listen to their childish prattle in their plays. Mrs. Nageler was born in Oldenburg, Germany in 1826, was married to John Nageler in 1857, came to America in 1872 and settled in the town of New Holstein. Mrs. Nageler is survived by one son, John G., and one daughter, Sophie. John G. Nageler is lying in St. Joseph’s hospital, Milwaukee where he has been operated upon for appendicitis. A message from Milwaukee state that John G. Nageler died at 8 o’clock p.m. Wednesday. The remains will be brought to this village for interment. Miss Sophie Nageler, whose health has been poor for some time, is completely prostrated by her mother’s death and brother’s sickness. Chilton Times, September 28, 1901 (Note: There is a picture of Sophia Nageler in the glass negative photos)

CHRISTIAN NISSEN Christian Nicolay Nissen was called from our midst by the angel of death on Tuesday evening at about eight o’clock of heart failure. Mr. Nissen was born in Ockholm Bredstedt, Schleswig, Holstein, Germany on July 18th, 1841, where he lived for a number of years with his parents until a young man of fine promise. On November 11th, 1866, he married Anna Margaret Momme of Uiebul, Germany. They emigrated to America on May 2, 1881 and came to New Holstein where they made their home until 1883 when they went to reside at Milwaukee. In 1885 they returned to New Holstein to remain permanently and he took up his old trade as a tailor as an occupation which he continued until the time of his death. Tuesday he was not feeling well but went down town to do some shopping. He returned toward evening and after eating his supper he passed into another room to look at a calendar given him that day. As he was admiring it he suddenly fell over with a groan. His wife immediately ran to his assistance and Dr. Martens was called. When the doctor came he saw at once that Mr. Nissen was not long for this life. He, however, did everything in his power but in a short time death came due to a weakened heart. The funeral was held Friday afternoon and the remains were interred in the New Holstein cemetery. Rev. Schildknecht officiating. Calumet County Reporter, December 20, 1909
