A 40-acre tract of land was purchased at Centerville a mile west of the small hamlet of St. Wendel. He attended school at Schwarzwald and later helped his father with farm work. In 1875 he married Miss Mary Schneider and took over the homestead farm of 132 acres. This he operated until 1920 when he retired and moved to St. Wendel. Until a few years ago, he returned at times to the farm to assist his son, John, in haying and harvesting. Mrs. Orth died in 1930.

Manitowoc Herald Times Thursday, January 19, 1939 pg. 2 ******** Oldest St. Wendel Parish Member Marks 90th Birthday On Monday, St. Wendel's parish at Cleveland honored its oldest member, Nick Orth, (photo) who was 90 years old yesterday and had been a member of the parish since his arrival here from Germany in 1855. The pastor, Rev. Theodore Kersten, offered a high mass for Mr. Orth at 8 a.m. on Monday, and many of the parish members were present. During the day there was open house at the Orth home. Mr. Orth was born in Trier, Germany, on Jan. 2, 1849, the fifth of a family of six children. He started school in Germany but on March 5, 1855 the family left for America on a ship carrying 800 passengers, the passage for each being $50. They arrived at Sheboygan May 1, 1855, and at once went to St. Wendel to homestead, buying 40 acres of land for $200 about a mile west of St. Wendel. The first three months they lived with a neighboring family while their two-room log cabin was constructed. In Good Health Mr. Orth continued his schooling at Schwarzwald, there being no parish school at St. Wendel at that time. Later he attended the public school-which is now Pleasant Hill. He helped his father work on the farm, and as they saved more money they added to their 40 acres till they had 132 acres, the present size of the farm. On April 8, 1875, he married Mary Schneider in St. Wendel's chruch. Mrs. Orth died eight years ago. They lived on the homestead where their two children, Miss Anna, who lives with her father, and John, on the homestead, were born. In 1920 they retired from the farm to live in the present home in St. Wendel. Mr. Orth has three grandchildren, Norbert, Deloris and Francis Orth. Still in good healht, Mr. Orth sleeps well and has an excellent appetite. He walks to mass almost every morning. He stil is very active and in spite of his advanced age he helped with the haying and harvesting on his son's farm the last summer. He reads without glasses and follows the world news with great interest. He has a keen memory and when he relates events, he gives the exact date and year of them without hesitation. Recalling experiences of years back, he told of an Indian walking out of the woods toward their house, begging for food, saying, "Me good Injun." Another time hauling wood to the pier at Centerville he saw an Indian with his pony camping along the lake. He remembers when there was only forest and trees where now is the village of Cleveland, and then it was not unusual to see the neighbors carry baskets of maple syrup on their backs to Sheboygan and with the money buy and bring back a calf. Mr. Orth is very happy in the realization that he has reached 90 years. It is the greatest age reached by any his family, and he attributes it only to the "goodness of the will of God."

NORBERT J ORTH Cleveland - Norbert J Orth, 96 passed away March 28 2018 at Sunny Ridge Nursing Home Sheboygan. Norbert's Life in his own words: 'I was born a twin on a farm in Cleveland Wisconsin on February 8 1922 to John and Gertrude Orth. My twin brother Gilbert died at the tender age of three days. I enrolled at St Wendel Catholic School and after completing eight years of elementary school I completed four years of high school at Central High in Sheboygan. These were enjoyable days and yet hectic at times, since my younger, brother, Francis and my younger sister Deloris and myself were obliged to help with the morning milking before we left for school in the morning and had to be home immediately after school hours to help with the evening chores. In high school I enjoyed singing in a cappella choir and took a college preparatory course. My enrollment in college, however, was interrupted by a severe case of mumps and I did not go on to Marquette University as I had planned, but instead stayed at home to help erect a new barn. A year later, I attended the University of Wisconsin Farm Short Course, and this was perhaps one of the most enjoyable times of my life. Going to college, because it was such a sharp contrast to the life I had left in the country which was one of hard work, no nonsense and self-sacrifice. At the University I took courses in agricultural engineering, dairy husbandry etc... and joined the glee club. During the war years, I didn't attend school due to a shortage of labor and I was deferred to help on the farm; however, I attended the short course again in 1947 and 1948. This was undoubtedly a wise decision, because I learned a great deal more about scientific farming. I also enjoyed the social events at the University, belonging to the Saddle and Sirloin Club, 4-H and sang baritone with the University barbershop quartet. The following year after attending the University, the opportunity arose whereby we could purchase two adjoining farms and my brother Francis and I who also attended the University for 2 years formed a partnership. We called our enterprise ORTH FARMS. I took a flock of voice lessons from Madam Bauer at Lakeland College and did some solo work and directed the St. Wendel Church Choir. The nicest thing that ever happened to me happened in February of 1957 when the Manitowoc Jr., Chamber of Commerce presented me with the outstanding young farmer award for that year. Our farm covered 360 acres, comprising a dairy and certified seed business. In February of 1960, I enrolled in a Dale Carnegie course in Sheboygan and a dangling shoe hanging off the foot of a little girl threw me of the track! and my bachelor days were over. After a few months of courtship, I married Betty Jane Heller Raatz in the fall of 1960. Our life was a full and busy one. I enjoyed remodeling jobs around the house and my wife and I both sang supporting roles in a music club production of the opera LA TRAVIATA. We enjoyed and belonged to Pine Hills Country Club and I enjoyed immensely singing and gatherings with the barber shoppers. We were blessed with 3 boys: the oldest being Andrew, Richard and youngest Jamie. Life was full of blessings" Norbert will be missed dearly by his family and friends. He unconsciously brought love, laughter and happiness with his sophisticated demeanor, his charm, his love of music and sing, and his great dancing ability that awed us all. He will be forever in our hearts. Norbert is survived by Andrew his son and his girlfriend Maureen of Cleveland and a son Richard in California. Elaine Orth (wife of brother Francis): Amy Perry Orth of Cleveland (Mother to grandchildren) Richard and Somer Orth Sheboygan & Myron Perry Cleveland. 11 Greatgrandchildren: Blake and Kamron Orth; Matthew Jr Orth, Sophia, Amelia and Levi Orth: Kyle, Emily, Iona, Lexie, and Mason Perry: his very dear friend Kathy Lider Sheboygan and her children and many other nieces, nephew's relatives and friends. Norbert was preceded in death by his parents: wife Betty Orth; son Jamie Orth; infant brother Gilbert; brother Francis Orth; sister and brother-in-law Deloris and Kermit Lutzenberger, Matthew Bertholf Orth and two nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for Norbert at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 4th at St. Clement Church (522 New York Ave) Sheboygan Wi 53081, with Fr. Matthew Widder Officiating. Burial will follow after a small luncheon at Saint Wendel Catholic Cemetery in the village of Cleveland. Friends may call the church on Wednesday April 4th from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service. The family wishes to thank the nursing staff at Sunny Ridge for the compassion and care given to Norbert during his stay and a special thanks to Marcia Lesjack for her great love and outstanding care given to Norbert before he entered the nursing home.

ANDREW PHILLIPS ST. WENDEL MAN ENDS HIS LIFE WITH A ROPE Despondency Over Ill Health Said To Be Responsible Andrew Phillips, residing at St. Wendel, fourteen miles south of the city, ended his life early today in a manner bordering on the sensational, Phillips placed a rope about his neck, tied it to a balstraude of a stairway and then leaped from the top of the stairs and had his neck broken. Death is believed to have resulted almost instantly. The body was found by Mrs. Phillips who summoned a neighbor, Miss Margaret Wagner, and the authorities here were notified. No inquest will be held, it being deemed unnecessary in view of the facts. Ill Health Cause Mr. Phillips, who was 52, had not been in robust health for some time and relatives say that despondency over this promoted his act. He was formerly a resident of the town of Meeme and removed to St. Wendel about fifteen years ago and had been engaged in business as a well driller. Besides his wife he is survived by one child, a daughter, Audrey, aged 2 years. Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, September 26, 1924 P.1 ********** ANDREW PHILLIPS HANGS SELF AT ST. WENDEL BY JUMPING DOWN STAIRWAY Tying a rope to the top of the stairs and securing a noose around his neck, Andrew Phillips, 52, committed suicide this morning by jumping down the stairs in his home in St. Wendel, opposite Tourist Inn, shortly before 8 a.m. today. The rope taut about his neck, the muscles of his face tense, and his eyes bulging, Mr. Phillips was found at 8 a.m. today by his wife. Mrs. Phillips immediately called for aid. Miss Margaret Wagner, a neighbor, was among the first to reach the scene of the suicide, after which a number of men arrived and the rope was removed from the dead man's neck. No Inquest Called A physician was called from Cleveland, but it was found that Mr. Phillips had been successful in his attempt to end his own life. The district attorney of manitowoc county was notified, and it was decided that an inquest would be unnecessary. Mrs. Phillips had been occupied in doing some work about the house, and head a noise as though someone were falling in the vicinity of the stairs. Hurrying from the kitchen, she saw her husband lying at the foot of the stairs. She attmepted to loosen the rope, and then called for aid. Upon the arrival fo neighbors and villagers, the scene of the suicide was scrutinized closely, and it is believed that Mr. Phillips accomplished the suicide by jumping a short distance and then sliding down the stairs on his back until the rope tightened and he came to his death. Causes Great Excitement The little village of St. Wendel was the scene of much excitement thoughout the morning, following the discover of the body at 8 a.m. Neighbors and villagers who have known Mr. Phillips for many years, are at a loss to account for the cause of the suicide. Mr. Phillips has appeared to be in good health, and was not known to have troubles of any kind which might prompt him to take his own life. Mr. Phillips was a well driller, and had lived at his home in St. Wendel for the past twenty years. Deceased is survived by his wife and a daughter, Audrey, aged 8.

PETER SCHMITT (d. 1898) Last week we received a telegraph that a certain Peter Smith of Manitowoc had drowned near Green Bay. Since a man of that name is not listed in Manitowoc, we reported that the deputy had committed an error until we received correspondence fro Captain Albers that the man had resided in Centerville. The unfortunate man, who drowned Sunday, 17 July, and whose body was buried Wednesday last week in the St. Wendel Cemetery, was the eldest son of the widow Schmidt in Town Centerville. The 25 year old young man, who learned metal handiwork, was planning to return home to his mother and was staying with his uncle, Mr. Jakob Arendt, who had grown up here. The weather was warm and he decided to go swimming but got into a deep area, sank and drowned in a short time.

VIOLA R. SCHWOERER After a long decline, gracefully and bravely endured, Viola R. Schwoerer, age 96, a resident of Pine Haven Christian Home, Sheboygan Falls, died Sunday evening, Nov. 28, 2010. She was the former Viola R. Gerhard, born Dec. 16, 1913, in St. Nazianz, daughter of the late Alex and Clara (Anhalt) Gerhard. Viola attended St. Gregory Grade School and later attended Sheboygan Business College after which she was employed at the St. Nazianz Seminary Production Unit. On May 11, 1937, she married Herbert C. Schwoerer at St. Gregory Catholic Church in St. Nazianz. The couple operated the Schwoerer homestead dairy farm near Cleveland for 19 years. In 1956, they sold the farm and moved to Cleveland. Herbert preceded her in death on Dec. 10, 1978. Viola was a former member of St. Wendel's Catholic Church, Cleveland and the Christian Women's Society. In 1998, she moved to Sheboygan and became a member of Holy Name Catholic Church. In 2005, she moved to Pine Haven Christian Home in Sheboygan Falls. Viola was an avid card player and a member of many card clubs. In 1980, she began crocheting, completing well over 300 afghans, reaching many states and internationally to Japan. Mom was always steady and true with a beautiful smile, which will be missed. Dad was the love of her life and after he passed away, she recreated herself and lived a full, new life.
