Death on 02 Dec. of Mrs. Amy Edwards, mother of J.L. Edwards and Perry Edwards,

Der Nord Westen, 08 Dec. 1887
***********
MRS. J.L. EDWARDS of this city died on Friday last after an illness of one year 
and at the age of 83. She came to Manitowoc in 1836 and was the oldest resident 
of the county, having come here one year before Mr. Perry Smith. There were no 
white people residing permanently at Manitowoc when she came here with her family. 
There were some people living at Manitowoc Rapids but all those have since left 
or died. She was married in New Jersey and her children and husband came here 
with her. Her son Perry was born here and is the oldest “native born” now living 
in the county. Mrs. Edwards never lived elsewhere since coming to Manitowoc. She 
had a family of nine children, the sons being Henry, Joseph, Dan and Perry. The 
old lady saw many changes take place in the county in the half century she lived 
here not the least of which is the complete change of population. Her funeral 
took place on Sunday last.

Edwards - In this city, Dec. 2nd, 1887, Mrs. A. J. Edwards.
Amy Johnson Edwards was born in the year 1805 in Monmouth Co., N.J. She was 
married in 1825 to Joseph W. Edwards of same place. She came to Wisconsin in 
1836 with her family. She was therefore one of the first settlers to Manitowoc 
County. We believe the Edwards family was the first to settle here. Mrs. Edwards 
lived to be the only one left of the pioneers who endured hardships that we of 
today can little appreciate. She was for a number of years a member of the 
Methodist Church and was buried from that church last Sunday.

ACCIDENT.-We regret to learn, just as we go to press, that a serious accident 
has happened to Mrs. Edwards, wife of our former fellow citizen, Capt. Joseph 
Edwards, now resident of the town of Kossuth. The horse attached to a wagon, 
in which she was returning home in company with a married daughter from this 
village, ran away, breaking the wagon and throwing her to the ground with so 
much force, that she was taken up insensible. Dr. Zeilley informs us that no 
bones were broken, but that the injuries are of a serious character. So far 
as we can learn, neither Mrs. Hoag, nor her infant were seriously injured.

Mrs. Jos. Edwards Sr. celebrated last Friday the fifteenth(sic) anniversary of her 
landing in Manitowoc. She with her husband and family left New York state in 
the fall of 1836, to go to Chicago, a friend who had preceded them to that 
place having sent them glowing descriptions of the fertile prairies of Illinois. 
Reaching Detroit their vessel master refused to come farther and another schooner 
took them to Mackinac. There another change had to be made for Green Bay where 
they again shipped for Chicago. But boisterous storms drove their schooner into 
the bay Dec. 3, and here they were obliged to remain. Mr. Edwards got work here 
in a lumber camp belonging to Jacob Conro of Green Bay.

BABY EDWARDS    (bur. 1872)

From the Files of the Pilot - Forty-Four Years Ago (1872)
A distressing accident occurred on Saturday afternoon last by which a little 
child of Mr. Geo. Edwards, pattern maker at Jonah Richards factory lost its 
life. It seems that an elder daughter of Mr. Edwards was engaged in washing 
and poured into a small tub a quantity of boiling water, setting it on the 
floor. She then went out to procure some water to cool it and left the child 
in the room though at some distance from the tub. The child, about two and a 
half years old, in crossing the room backwards, fell into the tub of boiling 
water. Mrs. Edwards, who was in the room, rushed forward and took the child 
from the tub, finding it dreadfully scalded, the flesh literally peeling off 
with its clothing. A physician was summoned but to no avail, the little 
suffered dying on Sunday.

HENRY G. EDWARDS    (d. 1898)

DEATH OF HENRY EDWARDS
Captain Henry G. Edwards died at Charlevoix, Mich., March 18, aged 72 years. 
He was born at Long Beach, N.J. and came with his parents to Manitowoc in 
1836, residing here until 15 years ago when he removed to Charlevoix. He 
followed the lakes for a livelihood up to ten years ago, commanding many 
vessels some of which he owned. There are but few of the captains now living 
who commanded vessels when Captain Edwards first took charge of one. His 
remains were brought here by his daughter and interred in Evergreen Cemetery 
by the I.O.O.F.
The history of the Edwards family, like that of the Jones and Smith families, 
is a history of the early period of the county. P.P. Smith and J.L. Edwards, 
brother of the deceased, are the only persons left in the county who settled 
here in the '30's. The Edwards family came here a few months before Perry 
Smith did. They set out from Long Beach, went up the Hudson on a canal boat 
and through the canal to Buffalo. Their destination was Chicago. They reached 
Detroit by boat from Buffalo, and here they took passage on a small boat which 
was bringing corn to Chicago.
The little boat called in at Green Bay and here the elder Edwards met J.W. 
Conroe who had built a mill that summer at Manitowoc Rapids. He engaged Edwards 
to build scows with which to transport lumber down the river. This temporarily 
delayed his trip to Chicago. Not a tree was chopped at the mouth of the 
Manitowoc on their arrival here. The family of six proceeded up the river to 
the Rapids by canoe.
After completing the work for Conroe, Edwards went to Chicago alone, but the 
place was so unhealthy that he decided not to settle there. He returned to 
Manitowoc and engaged in the business of fishing between this place and Two 
Rivers. He was helped by the boys. While engaged in this work Henry had an 
opportunity of studying the Indian character and at one time witnessed a 
vendetta between members of the tribe.
In 1840 the family moved to what is now within the limits of Cooperstown. It 
was on the Green Bay trail in the valley where the Caves are. The family were 
taken out by Wm. H. Bruce, who had a horse team. Perry Smith took out the 
furniture with an ox team. It was in the early spring and the streams were 
flooded. Perry, who was then approaching young manhood, when about three miles 
beyond Kellner's corners, noticed a large bonfire near the trail and some people 
standing around. When he came up he found the Jo. Edwards, then a lad, had 
taken a header from the sleigh, which had lurched and had gone into the stream. 
The party built a fire to dry him as there was no change of clothes. Perry stayed 
overnight in the log house which was built in Cooperstown but the foundation log 
was so high above the ground that he could roll outside from his bed and the cold 
prevented his slumbers from being sound. He returned to Manitowoc the next day 
fording streams whose current was so rapid that his oxen were in danger of being 
swept away.
Henry, when a boy, carried the mail between Green Bay and Sheboygan, going by way 
of Manitowoc Rapids. He generally went on horseback but sometimes afoot. When quite 
young he became a sailor and reached the position of captain soon. Most of his life 
was spent on the lakes.

IRA A. EDWARDS

DEATH INVADES CITY COUNCIL SECOND TIME WITHIN MONTH, CLAIMS ALD. 
IRA EDWARDS
Member from Fourth Ward Dies Last Night Following Illness of But 
Five Weeks - Was Well Known Young Man, Being but 40 Years of Age 
at His Death
Death has again invaded the city council and for the second time 
with in a month, has claimed one of the members of the city 
administration. Ira Edwards, alderman from the Fourth ward, 
passing away at his home on North Tenth street at eight o'clock 
last evening. Less than a month ago William Scherer, member from 
the Third ward, died after a brief illness. The two deaths are 
the first to occur in the official family of the city for many 
years.
News of the death of Mr. Edwards was a shock to the city, though 
it was known that he had been confined to his home for several 
weeks with an attack of nervous trouble. He had been unable to 
attend the last two council meetings and to give attention to 
city affairs and had not been at his post at the Goodrich offices, 
where he was assistant for some time.
Mr. Edwards was a native of this city, having been born here 
Sept. 2?, 1876, being 40 years of age at his death. He attended 
the local schools and for several years past had been in employe 
of the Goodrich company in this city. He was elected a member of 
the city council from the Fourth ward two years ago and would have 
been renominated this spring had he lived, his service as a city 
official having been of a character to win him commendation. Mr. 
Edwards was a member of important committees in the council, 
chairman of the library committee and member of the committees on 
assessment and finance, fire and water and streets.
Mr. Edwards was married about seven years ago to Mrs. Amanda 
Krainik, widow of the late Frank Krainik, who with one daughter, 
Iris, survives him. One brother, Arthur, and a sister, Mrs. E. 
Schwab, both of this city, beside his mother, also survive.
A member of the Order of Maccabee, Mr. Edwards had for 12 years 
held the office of record keeper for the local branch of the 
society. He was also a member of the Masonic lodge in this city.
The sympathy of many friends will go out to the bereaved family.
Funeral services will be held from the late home Monday afternoon 
at 2 o'clock and will probably be in charge of the Masonic order.
Friends are requested to omit flowers.

JAMES EDWARDS

James Edwards, a resident of our city who had been crippled by a stroke, 
slipped on the ice on Chicago Street Tuesday last week and suffered a 
fractured skull from which he died Friday in Holy Family Hospital. The 
deceased was 46 years old and is survived by his parents and several 
sisters. The funeral was held Saturday.

********
Following a fall upon a cement sidewalk, which fractured his skull, James Edwards 
lingered for three days and died Friday without having regained consciousness.
He was a son of Capt. Jos. Edwards a pioneer resident and was born in the city in 
1862. After some years on the lakes as a boy he opened the Marine Exchange saloon 
on Commercial street. A stroke of paralysis about 12 years ago ended his usefulness. 
A large family of brothers and sisters, now all non-residents, survive. The funeral 
was held Saturday from St. James church.

James Edwards Receives Serious Injuries in Fall Down a Stairway
James Edwards, proprietor of the Marine Exchange on Commercial Street, met with 
severe accident this noon at the hoe of his brother, John on North Fourth Street with 
whom he resides. In descending a flight of stairs his foot slipped in some way and he fell 
the full length of the stairway and received a gas on the head in addition to severe bruises. 
Dr. Jacobs who was called to attend the injured man was obliged to put seven stitches in 
the wound. The skull was not fractured which fact is almost miraculous in view of the 
circumstances surrounding the accident. Mr. Edward will be incapacitated for duty for a 
few days.

DEATH WINS LONG FIGHT   
John Edwards Succumbs to Destroyer After Brave Battle 
Death proved victor in the long fight to claim John Edwards, one of the most 
popular young men of the city, the end coming today after a brave battle that 
continued for many months. Consumption was the cause of death and for nearly 
a year, Mr. Edwards had been incapacitated. An accident which he met with a 
year ago is thought to have been the start of the disease which had wasted his 
vitality to make him an easy mark for death. Mr. Edwards was 35 years old, born 
in this city, March 11, 1871, and was a son of Mrs. M. Edwards. A widow, two 
children, his mother, two brothers and a sister, survive. John Edwards was a 
young man of sterling worth whose friends were limited only to his acquaintances 
and he was universally respected. He was a member of the Maccabees and other 
Orders.

DIED:
John W. Edwards, a well-known and popular Manitowoc resident aged about thirty-five, 
responded to Death's summons last Thursday morning at 10:45 o'clock at his home on 
Cleveland avenue, after an illness extending over a period of many months, the cause of 
his demise being pulmonary tuberculosis, which dreaded disease was supervenient to the 
result of an accident that befell him over a year ago.
The decedent was born in this city on the 11th day of March, 1871, and received his 
education in the local schools. From 1895 to 1904 he was employed as a machinist at 
the Richards Iron Works. 
He was joined in matrimony to Miss Flora Gilbraith. There were born to the couple two 
children, Ruth, aged eight years, and Alice, five, who, besides the decedent's wife, his 
mother, two brothers, Ira and Arthur, and one sister, Mrs. Schwab, survive to mourn the 
untimely death of a good husband, a kind father, a dutiful son and an affectionate brother, 
who was held in esteem by a large circle of acquaintances.
Mr. Edwards was a member of the local Maccabee tent and of the Machinists union No. 35.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon. Members of Lake Side tent, Knights of Maccabee, 
attended the obsequies in a body.

DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER—CAPT. JOSEPH EDWARDS father of Henry G. and Joseph L.

as he was well and familiarly known to all of our citizens, was one of the oldest

all, and his death is generally regretted. Notwithstanding his age—64—Captain

JOSEPH EDWARDS (d. 1872)

Fatal Casualty.
We are called upon this week, to record an event which has cast desolation and gloom upon the family of one of our citizens, and which will also serve as a warning to others. A couple of weeks ago occasion was had to use a certain quality of sand to pack around the furnaces to be used in warming the new school building on the north side. A desirable quality of sand was found on the Park grounds immediately adjoining the school, and a quantity was taken away, leaving the excavation thereby made somewhat exposed and attractive to the young folks who attended the school, and who immediately proceeded to make an artificial cave. The sand was dry and easily worked, and in a comparatively short time they succeeded in effecting an excavation which measured six feet and a half in length by five feet in width. On Thursday night last they had a fire in it, and on Friday morning, also. They were repeatedly driven away from the cave they had made by the workmen employed about the place, as it was deemed very unsafe, if not absolutely dangerous, as the result proved but without avail, and, on last Friday noon, three little fellows, who, regardless of the repeated warnings, entered the cave, and recommenced their labors, when, without any warnings, about fifteen inches of the sand which formed the roof of the cave fell upon them. The names of the boys were Bertie Edwards, son of Captain J.L. Edwards, Henry Edwards, his brother, and Laubus Lorison. The latter, being nearest the entrance, succeeded in freeing himself of the accumulated sand, and assisted in releasing Henry Edwards, who required some little time to recover from his partial strangulation. Bertie Edwards, who was farthest from the entrance, was completely covered, and an alarm being given, Mr. W.A. Place and others used every means to their power to dig out the little fellow, and, after a short time, succeeded; but life was extinct. A physician was, however, immediately summoned, and all that science could do to restore the little fellow to life was without avail. Death had claimed its victim. We do not know whether any one is to blame in the matter, but must look upon it as one of the inscrutable decrees of Providence.

JOSEPH E. EDWARDS   (d.1917)

JOSEPH EDWARDS, LAST OF THE PIONEERS OF 1836, PASSES AWAY AT CHICAGO 
AT AGE OF 86 YEARS
Capt. Joseph Edwards, the oldest surviving pioneer settler of Manitowoc, 
is dead at Chicago, messaged received today announcing the demise of Capt. 
Edwards at the home of his daughter in that city. The body will be brought 
here tomorrow evening and funeral services will be held at the chapel at 
Evergreen Wednesday afternoon at 2, Rev. Kelcher officiating. 
Capt. Edwards, a son of the late J. V. Edwards, who was the first ship 
carpenter in Manitowoc county and who built the first schooner here, came 
to Manitowoc county with his father in 1835 and up to ten years ago resided 
here, going to Chicago then to make his home with a daughter, Mrs. Tolman. 
Capt. Edwards was one of the veteran vessel captains of the lakes and sailed 
a number of boats out of Manitowoc. Practically all of the 86 years of Capt. 
Edwards life was spent in Manitowoc, he being but four years old when his 
family came here. 
His father engaged in the building scows at Rapids to transport lumber from 
the mills to this city to be loaded on vessels in the late 30's and later 
engaged in boat building, the Citizen, a schooner built here in the 40's 
being the first Manitowoc boat. The late P.P. Smith and Capt. Edwards 
divided honors during the former's life in claiming to be the oldest 
settlers of the city and at the death of Mr. Smith a few years ago, the 
distinction was unchallenged for Mr. Edwards. 
Capt. Edwards is survived by his aged wife, who is expected to accompany 
the remains here, one son, William, Chicago and four daughters, Mrs. 
Tollman, Chicago; Mrs. Boring, Washington; Mrs. Sample and Mrs. Borkman of 
Oakland, Cal.

SAIL LIFE'S BARK TOGETHER FOR 50 YEARS
"Capt." and Mrs. Jos. Edwards Celebrate Golden Wedding
NOW LIVING IN CHICAGO SUBURBS
Aged eighty and seventy years respectively, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lloyd 
Edwards, former Manitowoc residents now living at Austin, a Chicago 
suburb celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage and the 
occasion was a notable one in Austin. Mr. Edwards familiarly known as 
"Capt" here and his estimable wife departed from Manitowoc less than 
ten years ago and located at Austin. Regarding the golden wedding 
celebration the Austin Recorder says: "Comparatively few couples live 
to celebrate their golden wedding. Such occasions are rare and when 
they do occur they are notable. In these days of modernized divorce, 
what a joy it is to see a couple who have traveled together in all 
kinds of weather for fifty years. Such lives are an inspiration. They 
are conducive to the thought that true love never dies. Today surrounded 
by sons and daughters and grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lloyd 
Edwards, 832 N. 53rd avenue, are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary 
of their wedding day. A reception and family reunion was held during 
the afternoon at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Grant E. Tolman. 
There were present six children which included Mrs. Charles D. Semple, 
of San Francisco, Cal., Mrs. Herbert A. Boring of Seattle, Wash., Mrs. 
Josephine Johnsrud of Manitowoc, Wis., Mrs. Rose Malo, Mrs. G. E. 
Tolman and William Edwards of Chicago. In addition there were a number 
of grandchildren on hand to celebrate the joyous occasion. The reception 
lasted from 3 to 6 o'clock. Friends of the aged couple took advantage of 
the opportunity to offer their congratulations. Sweet flowers perfumed 
the air and many appropriate presents were given the happy couple. Mr. 
and Mrs. Edwards were married the year of the civil war begun. Both have 
vivid recollections of that terrific struggle. Long ago they came to 
Austin to live. Mr. Edwards is eighty years old, his bride of half a 
century is 70. Both are well and highly respected and beloved by all 
who know them and the Weekly Recorder hopes they may live to celebrate 
the seventy-fifth anniversary of the day they started life's journey 
together.

Mrs. Maria Edwards, a native of the city, 72 years old, died at her home at 728 
North Seventh Street suddenly last Saturday from a stroke of apoplexy. Mrs. 
Edwards spent her entire life in the city. Her name was Thompson before her 
marriage. In 1884 her husband, John Edwards, died, leaving her a family of small 
children and she showed heroic qualities on raising the family in the face of 
unusually trying circumstances. Her sons, John, Ira, Walter, all preceded her in 
death after attaining maturity and a son, Arthur, and a daughter, Mrs. Alfred 
Schwab, both of this city, survive. She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. M.A. 
Weber of Minneapolis.
The funeral was held Monday with services at the First (Norwegian) Lutheran Church 
and interment at Evergreen. This was a life with many crosses borne with patience 
and courage, burdens which is not compensated by an equalizing reward elsewhere 
would argue for an unfitting injustice in the scheme of things. She was a faithful 
mother and a good neighbor who is mourned by all the old residents near where she 
has lived for over a half century.

JOHN S. EGAN

VALIANT FIGHT FAILS WIDELY KNOWN CITIZEN 
Illness of Several Weeks' Duration Proves Fatal to National Leader of The T.P.A.
A valiant fight for recovery from an illness with which he was stricken last 
June, while en route to New Orleans, was brought to a close at the hospital here 
at 3 o'clock this morning when John S. Egan, 66, widely-known local traveling 
salesman and president of the Wisconsin branch of the Travelers' Protective 
Association, passed away.
Death occurred ten days after Mr. Egan was brought back to Manitowoc in a special 
train after having undergone treatment for several weeks at the Mayo Brothers 
hospital in Rochester. The immediate cause of death was heart and kidney trouble 
from which he suffered severely during the past several weeks after having 
apparently recovered from the attack he underwent in Memphis nearly a year ago.
National T.P.A. Leader
Mr. Egan was one of the best-known traveling salesmen in Wisconsin and followed 
that calling for nearly 45 years, the last 28 of which were spent as sales 
representative for the . A.M. Richter company. His interests in the calling made 
him an active leader in the Travelers' Protective Association and only last May 11 
was unanimously named to head the Wisconsin branch of the association. He was 
nationally known in the organization and for some time served as chairman of the 
committee on transportation as well as being a director for the national association. 
In addition to being active in T.P.A. circles, Mr. Egan was a member of the United 
Commercial Travelers, was a charter member of the Manitowoc Lodge of Elks and was 
affiliated with the Knights of Columbus. Shortly after the Manitowoc Lodge of Elks 
was organized, Mr. Egan was elected esquire and held that office for the longest 
continuous period of time any office has ever served the local lodge in like capacity.
Apparently Recovered 
The death of Mr. Egan, while not entirely unexpected in view of his recent serious 
illness, will come as a shock to a wide circle of friends throughout the northwest. 
After being severely stricken last summer, he apparently was fully recovered and for 
a period of several months resumed his position on the road and made his regular calls 
to the trade. 
Life-Long Resident 
Mr. Egan made Manitowoc his residence practically all of his life, the family taking 
up their home here in 1893 after he lived for several years at Sturgeon Bay and 
Milwaukee. He was born in Manitowoc on November 24, 1864, and remained in this city 
until 15 years of age when he moved to Sturgeon Bay. For a time he was a timber buyer 
in northern Wisconsin but later became a traveling salesman and remained in that 
profession until he became ill.
In June, 1884, he was married at Algoma to Miss Rose Swaty of that city and she with 
two sons, Aubrey and Kenwood S.; two brothers, Frank and James; a sister, Mrs. Henry 
Greenwood, and four grandchildren, all of Manitowoc, survive.
Funeral on Friday.
Funeral services for Mr. Egan will be held from the Sacred Heart church at 9 o'clock 
on Friday morning with Rev. Grace officiating. Interment will take place at Evergreen 
cemetery.
The services are expected to be attended by dignitaries of the organizations with which 
Mr. Egan was affiliated during the many years of his travels as a sales representative.
Was Popular About City 
With the death of Mr. Egan, many Manitowoc citizens will mourn the passing of one of 
the most popular residents. Discussing the death of Mr. Egan today a close acquaintance 
said:
"John Egan was one of those citizens who made the world a better place in which to live. 
He lived a real happy, care-free life in spite of many responsibilities and was always 
ready with a quip or a story. We'll all miss him."
To Pay Tribute 
Member of the Manitowoc Council 710, Knights of Columbus, are to meet tomorrow night at 
the home of Mr. Egan at 7:30 o'clock for the saying of prayers. Mr. Egan was a member 
of the local council.

HENRIETTE EGGERS

Our acquaintance with Mrs. Eggers, who died at their residence in Manitowoc last Friday, 
and was buried yesterday, was very limited; but we learn from others more fortunate in 
this respect that she was a woman abounding in excellent qualities, fulfilling all the sweet 
relations of daughter, wife, mother and friend in a manner that will ever be gratefully 
remembered. We tender to our old friend and former townsman, John C. Eggers, our 
sincere, heartfelt sympathy in his bereavement.

JOHN C. EGGERS

John C. Eggers died at the City Hospital on Thursday morning of last
week aged 63.
He was at one time one of the most prominent figures in Manitowoc
county politics.
He was well educated, of fine personal appearance and affable in his
manners-just the man to be popular with the people. He held the 
position of register of deeds and county treasurer, and for some time 
was invincible in this county.
Unfortunately for him he was in office at the time of the Fuessnich 
regime and this destroyed his popularity. For some years he has been 
in failing health and his death though somewhat sudden, was not 
unexpected.

Harvey Eggert, a West side youth, son of former patrolman August Eggert is 
mysteriously missing and family and friends are alarmed. The boy, aged 18, has 
been employed as a clerk by the Schuette Bros. Co., and reported at the store 
Monday afternoon but there is no record of his having checked out at 6:00 or 
returned for the evening and since early Monday afternoon, the boy cannot be 
traced. The fact that young Eggert had no money and that his clothing is at 
home, does not support the theory that he is a runaway and it is said there was 
no trouble or other cause to prompt him to leave. The boy is a youth of good 
habits, industrious and ambitious and bore a good reputation. Every effort is 
being made to trace him. His mother is prostrated by the disappearance of her
