FIRST LETTER IN 5 YEARS TELLS OF DEATH
Mrs. Henry Bode Learns Mother Dead in Germany
In a letter from a sister living at Nienburg, Hanover, Germany, Mrs. 
Henry Bode has learned that her mother died June 10, 1917. For five 
years she has been without communication with members of her family 
abroad. The letter is crowded with statements written with simple 
matter of factness that reveal conditions existing in parts of Germany. 
Last year the husband of the correspondent converted his roller mill to 
the production of “leaf flour.” Leaves were dried, ground into flour at 
the mill and shipped in Berlin for human and animal consumption as a 
substitute for grain flour. The project was subsequently abandoned when 
it was found that the product contained only slight nourishment for 
human beings. Little or nothing has been said in magazine and newspaper 
articles of the “local food bureaus,” organized by conscription and 
controlling by cards the present stock of potatoes and other food staples. 
The letter also speaks of the rigid control over the rapidly dwindling 
supply of shoes. It required six trips to the magistrate in a nearby town 
and a certificate signed by the superintendent of schools before a pair 
of shoes could be purchased for a niece of Mrs. Bode about to be confirmed. 
The price paid was 100 marks, of a normal value of $25. The leather 
substitute shoes must be sewed up daily to prevent them from falling apart 
and even then are no protection against rain. The fact is revealed that 
there were only a few days of vacation this summer to anticipate the loss 
of time the coming winter when schools will close because there is no coal 
to heat them. Mrs. Bode’s sister speaks of a daughter going to neighboring 
farms to gather bark to supplement the small stock of coke at the mill. 
Few newspaper correspondents that have traveled through Germany have 
reported the acute shortage of houses in the new republic. The letter 
refers to the local Bureau of Rents, “Miethsemt,” lings, in this particular 
case all bedrooms but those required by the family for the fugitives crowding 
Germany from Alsace-Lorraine, German Bohemia, and even South Africa. Numerous 
war weddings and the cessation of building operations during the war has 
aggravated the situation. The war profiteer apparently was as active in 
former empire as elsewhere. The rich had plenty, but thousands and thousands 
in the lower and middle class died of feebleness. A malignant type of 
“hunger-typhus” swept away thousands of lives. Although proprietor of a 
prosperous business before the war it required all of the husband’s ingenuity 
and thoughtfulness to keep the family alive. Confirmation is an important 
event in the younger people’s lives and is celebrated with elaborate feasts. 
Being unable to secure bread, an old friend in a neighboring town promised 
to secure several bread ends for the occasion but was unable to make good, 
the feast finally consisting of skim sour milk soup. Mrs. Bode’s brother-in-
law, a large man of powerful build lost 100 pounds during the war. The 
shortage of clothing is revealed by the glee with the sister describes the 
discovery of two pieces of velvet, laid away years before, which are now 
to be dyed and made into gowns for the daughters. There are no concerts and 
balls in this section of Germany and the writer confides to her sister that 
the three young nieces whose ages vary from 11 to 16 are living “a sad youth.” 
As soon as parcel post communication with Germany was restored several months 
ago, Mr. and Mrs. Bode made several shipments of items for want of which the 
population was known to be suffering.

DANIEL BOEHMER

We reported last week that Mr. D. Bohmer(sic) has suffered a broken leg while 
jumping from a scaffolding during the terrible storm that Tuesday. We must now 
report that the injury he suffered had gotten so much worse that the doctors 
decided to remove the limb this Tuesday. Dr. Pritchard performed the operation.

From the Files of the Pilot - Thirty Years Ago - (1898)
Daniel Boehmer suffered the amputation of his foot last Tuesday. Both bones of 
the leg were broken by his fall during the wind storm of last week and they were 
so badly splintered that it was found impossible to set them.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Aug. 2, 1928
*********
Death of Daniel Bohmer(sic) on Friday afternoon following the amputation of a 
leg. By his death our city has lost one of its oldest German settlers. The 
deceased was born 21 October 1827 in Zinsheien in what was then the Kingdom of 
Nassau and thus was 71 years of age. He came to America in 1850 stopping first 
in St. Louis but came to Manitowoc shortly thereafter and has lived here ever 
since. He operated a woodworking shop here and many of our citizens were pleased 
with the care and skill of his handiwork. Mr. Bohmer leaves his widow, 3 
daughters and two sons. The funeral took place Tuesday under the auspices of 
the local Free Masons Lodge.
Der Nord Westen, August 4, 1898
*********
Daniel Boehmer died last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. He was seriously injured 
during the wind storm two weeks ago, his leg having been broken in several places. 
The bones were splintered and the muscles were torn so badly that mortification 
set in and the foot was amputated in the hope of saving  his life. The poison was 
not checked, however, and from it and the shock of the operation death resulted 
in a few days. Mr. Boehmer was born at the village of Zinhain, Marienberg, Hesse-
Nassau, in what is now Prussia, nearly seventy-one years ago. He came to America 
in 1850, and after a short residence in New York went to St. Louis where he remained 
until 1855. During that year he moved to Manitowoc and has lived here ever since. 
He has for years been a general contractor and builder, and remained actively in 
business up to the moment of his injury. Though naturally a quiet man he made a 
large number of friends during his long residence here and his sudden death has 
been a shock to all. He is survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters. The 
funeral was held last Tuesday under the auspices of the Masons.

EDWARD BOETTCHER

Saturday afternoon 20-year old Edward Boettcher and several comrades went
bathing in the river near the bridge of the Wisconsin Central Railroad. He 
could not swim and in a deep part of the river he sank before his comrades

Christiansen. Boettcher had come here from Antigo in December last year and 
was employed in the shipyard. His funeral was held Monday afternoon.

ONE DEAD AND ONE NEAR IT IN RIVER
Edward Boettcher, Aged 20, Loses Life While Bathing - L. Kaufman's Close Call
Edward Boettcher, aged 20, is the season's first victim of the river 
in the city, Boettcher losing his life while bathing with a party of 
friends near the Wisconsin Central bridge Saturday afternoon. The 
body was recovered and the funeral was held at the home of an uncle 
Edward Boettcher, Twenty-Sixth street this afternoon, Rev. Huppert 
officiating.
Boettcher, a native of Antigo and an orphan, came  here last December 
and was employed at the Dry Dock Co. yards. Saturday the boy, with 
his sister and a brother, visited at the home of his uncle, Edward 
Boetcher (sic), 26th street on the occasion of the latter's birthday 
and during the afternoon, the boys planned to go to the rivers. 
Boetcher was unable to swim and being unfamiliar with the river, had 
been in the water but a short time when he encountered a depth that 
proved fatal. Efforts to reach the boy proved unavailing.
The death of Boettcher followed that of Irving Gartzke, a Centerville 
boy who lost his life in a mill pond at the village Friday night while 
bathing.
The Gartzke boy was 17 and had recently launched the Cleveland 
Centerville review, to be published month[ly]. The boy was a son of 
G. Gartzke, proprietor of the Centerville brewery and attended school 
at Milwaukee. The body was recoverd.
Another life was rescued from a fate similar to that of young Boettcher 
when Leonard Kaufman, a West Side youth was taken from the river at 
Rapids by Frank Bartels after the boy was thought dead, Kaufman cried 
for help but companions thought he was fooling and he was permitted 
to sink for the second time before assistance was given him. The boy 
was revived after twenty minutes of work over him.

PAUL BOETTCHER

MANGLED CORPSE BROUGHT HERE
Appleton Young Man Killed by Train is Buried at Evergreen
Sometime during Saturday night or early Sunday morning, Paul Boettcher, 
a young man who has relatives here and was formerly employed in this 
city, was run over by a C.& N.W. train near Appleton Junction and killed, 
his body having been found lying between the track Sunday morning. The 
body was brought here for burial, interment taking place at Evergreen. 
The Appleton Crescent gives details of the accident as follows: 
“Paul Boettcher, a single man aged about 24 years, was run over by a 
train on the Northwestern railway Saturday night or Sunday morning, near 
Appleton Junction, and instantly killed, being terribly mangled. He was 
found at 6:25 Sunday morning, lying between the tracks, just as the “Y” 
switch south of the Junction. His right arm was cut off close to the 
shoulder; his left leg at the knee, and half of the foot cut off. His 
skull was crushed in at the back and just forward of the temple, and 
nearly every bone in his body broken. 
Deceased is a nephew and adopted son of Henry Boettcher, who runs the 
brick yard about two miles from the city. His own father Albert Boettcher, 
lives in Brillion, but Paul was adopted by his uncle when only a few 
months old and has since made his home with him. He was last seen alive 
about 11 o’clock Saturday night when he left a saloon in the west end 
and started for home on the railway track. It is not yet known what 
train hit him but it is believed to have been the southbound passenger 
at 1:54 as the remains appear to have been dragged toward the south. 
A man answering Boettcher’s description was found by a resident of 
Spencer street, sitting in the ditch beside the track, near Spencer 
street early Sunday morning, but could not be roused. While attempting 
to rouse him the north-bound 1:04 train passed. A policeman was called, 
but when he arrived the man had disappeared and could not be found. It 
is now believed this man was Boettcher and that he proceeded as far 
toward the brick yard as the point where he was found, and was there 
overtaken by the 1:54.” 
An inquest was called, but an adjournment taken until Friday night.
