ANN MARIE GALVIN (d. 1886) DIED. At her home in this city, Feb. 17, Miss Anne Maria Galvin, aged thirty two years, 11 months, 25 days. The deceased was born in Lowell, Mass. but had lived in this city since childhood and probably but few if any, of our young ladies were more generaly known and none more highly respected than she. She had been for months previous to her decease a great sufferer and death was to her a welcome release. She was the last of a family of nine children and her aged mother is by her death bereft of any near relative. To leave her mother alone was her great sorrow and the thought which troubled her last conscious moments. The funeral took place from St. Bonifacius (sic) church, Friday morning, and was largely attended by friends in this city and by residents of Kankauna (sic) and other places. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, February 23, 1886 P.2
JOHN F. GALVIN DIED.-In this city on Friday, Dec. 15, of consumption, John F. Galvin, aged 23 years. The deceased was a printer-learned his trade in this office-and since 1871 held cases on the Chicago Tribune until his rapidly failing health induced him to visit Colorado last spring. There for a time he was better, but gradually his strength failed as the insidious disease gained upon him, and in October he "came home to die." He was a kind hearted young man, faithful to his employers and constant in his kindness to a widowed mother and only sister, to whom, in their affliction, the sympathy of our citizens is extended. The funeral occurred on Sunday, and notwithstanding the very inclement weather, a large number followed his remains to their last resting place, testifying to the esteem in which the deceased and his family were held.

He was one of the first to enlist for the war in Capt. Clark’s Company, and leaves a wife and two children in this village without means of support. Will not our patriotic and benevolent people take immediate measures to alleviate their loss. A poor widow and her orphans are entitled to substantial pity as well as those who leave behind them plenty of “aid” for their kindred. The ladies should be the first to take Mrs. Galvin's case in hand. She is poor and no one is left to protect her, unless those who encouraged her husband to meet an honorable death in defense of his country.

PHILIP GARBER Note: Please find following this message, the obituaries for my mother-in-law's grandfather. Philip Garvey. My mother-in-law was a Garber and no one knows of the explanation why the name got changed from Garvey to Garber. The Manitowoc Co. records show the name both ways for his four children. As we understand it, He married an Irish Woman (Ms. Haloran), but my mother-in-law thought that he himself was German (however there is an Irish immigrant, namely Patrick Garvey, buried in the Calvary Cemetery). “A FATAL ACCIDENT. Philip Garvey, aged forty-six years, died at the Holy Family hospital on Wednesday morning, Feb. 6, after having been unconscious for about for hours, as a result of a fall down a coal chute. The accident occurred Monday afternoon, Feb. 4, when Mr. Garvey, who was employed as a teamster, was about to unload a load of coal at the hospital. The unfortunate man had his skull fractured in the fall. He never regained consciousness. Garvey leaves a wife and two small children—a son and a daughter—to mourn his loss. The decedent was a brother-in-law of James Holleran, He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Cato lodge. The funeral was held last Saturday morning from the St. Boniface church in this city. Interment took place at Calvary cemetery. Mr. Garvey’s untimely end is deplored by all who knew him, and the bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their sore affliction. The family home is near the plant of the Clay company, Mr. Garvey having been an employe of that concern.” The Manitowoc Pilot, Volume XLVIII, Manitowoc, Wis., Thursday, February 14, 1907, Number 32 ******** FALL ON STAIRWAY MAY BE HIS DEATH Philip Garvey, Clay Co.

Garvey has been unconscious since the accident twenty-four hours or more and there is small chance that he will recover. He is 46 years of age, married and the father of two children. Garvey was at the hospital to deliver a load of coal and was injured while entering the engine room of the building. There is a stairway four feet in height and as the unfortunate man was descending this he slipped and fell, his head striking a pile of brick at the foot of the stairway. A severe wound was inflicted to the head and when Garvey was removed it was found that the skull was badly fractured. Efforts to revive him failed and he remained unconscious at a late hour today. The Garvey family occupies the residence at the yards of the Clay Product So., and Garvy has been of the most valued employes of the concern for some time. Mrs. Garvey is in poor health and the shock of her husband's misfortune has prostrated her. Garvey is cared for at the hospital.

ROYAL GENTGEN ROYAL GENTGEN KILLED BY TRAIN AT MINNEAPOLIS Meagre Telegram To Family Tells of Tragedy Royal Gentgen, son of John Gentgen, North Tenth street, was killed in a railway accident at Minneapolis Friday night at 9:30 and the body will be brought to this city for burial. Details of the accident were not given in the telegram sent here informing the family of the death but it is probable that the young man met death while engaged in his duties as a switchman in the Minneapolis yards, a position which he had held for some time. The family is awaiting announcement regarding the shipment of the body before funeral arrangements are made but the funeral will probably be under the auspices of the local Legion just as Mr. Gentgen was an ex-service man. Was a Herald Carrier Boy Royal Gentgen was born May 17, 1893 and would have been 29 years old at his next birthday. He received his early education of the public schools of this city but did not complete the high school course, being called on to assist his father in the dray and cartage business. During his school days he served as a member of The Herald carrier staff on a north side route, a position which he held for two years. Ten years ago the young man left here to make his home at Minneapolis and it was from there that he enlisted in Co. F., 21st Engineers and saw service overseas. After his return he visited in this city and then returned to Minneapolis where he again took up railroading. He is survived by his father, the mother died about five years ago, and six brothers, Lester, Francis, Malcom, Wynfield, Kenneth and Edward.
