he is buried.):

Gustav Eichmeyer (sic) of Newton committed suicide on Monday night by shooting 
himself through the head. He failed in business some months ago and made a 
voluntary assignment. The failure was by no means a bad one and the estate will 
pay all obligations in full and leave a balance. Eichmeyer felt very much 
depressed over his business troubles and his mind became affected. For some weeks 
his family feared he would commit some rash act, but hesitated about putting him 
under restraint. On Monday night at 12 o'clock he went out in the barn and shot 
himself. The bullet went clear through his head.

DIED
Eldridge-In this city, May 25th 1878, at the residence of his sister,-Mrs. 
Martha J. Hoes, Eugene T. Eldridge, aged 34 years.
The deceased, a native of Cambridge, Washington County New York, has resided 
here since about the year 1865, during which time, through his kind and genial 
nature, gentlemanly deportment and unblemished character, he has won the esteem, 
respect and confidence of all who knew him best. While residing here he has been 
constantly in the employ of some of the most prominent business men of this 
city, all of whom can testify with grateful praise to his sterling honesty and 
integrity, and to his constant and unswerving fidelity to their interests. Twice 
through failing health the deceased has been compelled to leave good situations 
much to the regret of his employers, who could illy (sic) afford to part with 
his valuable services. He suffered from a complication of diseases resulting in 
the prostration of all the vital forces, and after lingering and slowly failing 
for several months, he finally closed his earthly career in a quiet and peaceful 
death, with a hopeful assurance of a happy existence beyond the grave. His more 
immediate general friends will greatly miss the pleasure of his society, and 
his sorrowing brother and sister, the companionship of a kind affectionate and 
generous brother. His obsequies, which took place on the 29th inst, were conducted 
by the Free Masons, of which order he was a most worthy and esteemed member, at 
the First Presbyterian Church, and at the Evergreen Cemetery, in the presence of 
a large concourse of people assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to their 
departed friend.

DIED:
In Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Nov. 10, 1865, William Frederick Eldridge, only son 
of W.F. and Annie M. Eldridge, aged 3 years and 7 days.
Young Willie was our household pet
The favored one of all he met
And now me thinks I see him yet,
As when
He sat in fondness on my knee,
And prattled forth his words of glee;
A heart as merry, light and free.
Was then
An angel spirit to become 
Ere long through fields of bliss to roam,
And leave us in our earthly home
To Weep.
We saw him fading, day by day,
Just as the sunlight fades away,
Without one bright or cheering ray
To keep
Alive that spark of hope within,
Or from the grasp of death to win,
That little heart, so free from sin
And strife.
We knew would live and smile again,
When freed from earthly care and pain
So pure and spotless without stain
His life.
One morning he was worse, and we
Had gathered round the bed to see
The last deep struggle yet to be,
For breath
Had well nigh left that form so still;
We gazed and there lay little Will,
His voice was hushed forever still
In death!
At evening came an angel band,
From the far off and spirit land,
To bear away mid zephyrs bland,
The fair.
And now we fancy in the breeze
That sighs all mournfully through the trees,
A voice of heavenly love, which says,
"He's there!"

WILLIAM E. ELLIOTT  (d. 1925)

DEATH COMES TO W.E. ELLIOTT TODAY 
VETERAN CHIEF ENGINEER OF GOODRICH LINE
Well Known Resident of City Passes Away After Long Illness
Death which came to him at the family home on St. Clair street at 6 o'clock 
this morning brought to a close the long and active life of William E. Elliott, 
for fifty years chief engineer of the Goodrich transit company and at his death 
consulting engineer of the line, although retired. The death of Mr. Elliott was 
peaceful and came as result of a decline which he had suffered for several 
months and which his advanced age made it impossible for him to combat.
Funeral services for Mr. Elliott will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock 
at the First Presbyterian church, the Rev. M.S. Weber officiating. The body 
will be taken to the church at 10 Wednesday morning to lie in state until the 
funeral service. A request made by Mr. Elliott that the male quartette of the 
Kiwanis club, of which he was a charter member, sing at the funeral, will be 
complied with.
The death of Mr. Elliott, while not unexpected, comes as a shock to the 
community in which he had resided for more than thirty years and where he has 
been one of the most beloved citizens, admired and respected by all for the 
high ideals and sterling character which he possessed. Although in late years, 
because of illness and age, denied the activities of former years, Mr. Elliott 
up to his last illness was a familiar figure at the gatherings of organizations 
with which he was affiliated and which at all times on those occasions paid 
tribute in honoring him.
Elks Pay Him Honor
An indication of the high regard to which Mr. Elliott was held was manifested 
by the Manitowoc Lodge of Elks, of which he was a charter member, at a meeting 
a month ago when he was unanimously voted a life membership in the order by the 
lodge. On the occasion of a visit of Grant Exalted Ruler Atwell of the Elks to 
the city recently Mr. Elliott was unable to be present because of illness and 
it was a great disappointment to him when he was forced to send regrets. He 
was one of the oldest members of Manitowoc lodge and none in the organization 
commanded a greater love than he.
A Native of England
Mr. Elliott was a native of England, born in 1840 at Nottinghamshire and came 
to America in 1854 when his parents located at London, Canada where he received 
his early education. His service as an engineer in which he achieved national 
fame, was ushered in when he entered the employ of the Great Western Railway 
company, with which he remained for six years. Later he was associated with 
the Detroit Locomotive Works for two years.
In July 1863 Mr. Elliott entered upon what proved to be his life career and 
achievement of prominence when he secured a berth as assistant engineer of a 
new steamer, Reindeer, on the Saginaw river. The following year he was 
appointed assistant engineer of the steamship Milwaukee between Grand Haven 
and Milwaukee and in 1865 became chief engineer of the Ward line. When the 
Goodrich Transit company purchased the steamer Alpena Mr. Elliott became 
chief engineer and was in charge of the boat for one season. In 1868 he 
located at Milwaukee and 1894 removed to Chicago, retaining his connection 
with the Goodrich company whose boat, the steamer Sheboygan, he was chief of 
for four seasons and was then appointed chief engineer of the entire line.
Directed Building of Boats
In his capacity as chief engineer Mr. Elliott superintended the building of 
many boats of the Goodrich fleet including the Chicago, DePere, City of Racine, 
Indiana, Iowa and Georgia and directed the placing of machinerys in all of the 
boats. For many years Mr. Elliott devoted his work to building of boats for the 
company and directing the improvements which from time to time were added.
A Popular Official
Old employes of the Goodrich company today said that there had never been a 
more popular official in the directory of the company than Mr. Elliott. He 
was always faithful, always courteous, always true and always a gentleman 
and his character and ideals fitted in with a life whose passing brings to 
all who knew him more intimately a keen sorrow in a sense of a real loss to 
them personally.
Always a close and hard worker Mr. Elliott up to the very time of his 
retirement gave his energy to perfecting improvements in marine engineering 
and many of his ideas are today featured in machinery of boats not only on 
the lakes but in ocean traffic as well. He was prominent as a member of the 
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Naval 
Engineers, and of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association of which later 
organization he was nation vice president.
Locally Mr. Elliot was a charter member of the Elks of this city  ???? the 
Kiwanis club in both organizations of which he took an (the last two sentences 
are unreadable) organizations was missed by Mr. Elliott up to the time of his 
critical illness and he was always called upon at these gatherings for talks.
Mr. Elliott is survived by his widow whom he married after the death of his 
former wife and whose two sons of a former marriage were given Mr. Elliott's 
name after the union, L.J. Elliott of Chicago and S.S. Elliott of Panama.
Mr. Elliott was a personal friend of the late A.W. Goodrich, founder of the 
Goodrich Transportation company, and of his son who succeeded as head of the 
company and was intimate with the late Capt. D.M. Cochrane, another veteran 
official of the Goodrich line whose death occurred about a year ago.
Members of the Elks and the Kiwanis club will attend the funeral on Wednesday 
in a body.

ELKS WILL HONOR PIONEER
An anchor taken from an old steamboat and placed on a mound beside a flagstaff 
in Lincoln Park will be dedicated September 16 by the local lodge of Elks to the 
memory of William E. Elliott, life member of the order, who for 55 years was 
associated with the Goodrich Transit Co., most of that time as chief engineer of 
its fleet. Mr. Elliott died last year and was the oldest member of the Elks here 
at the time. The memorial will also serve as a tribute to the ship building 
industry, the pioneer business of the city. The Elks Committee in charge of the 
affair is T.W. Gray, W.F. Pflueger and J.C. Johnson. Their will be music and an 
address by a speaker yet to be selected.

RETIREMENT OF CAPT. ELLIOTT
Retirement of Capt. W. E. Elliott for fifty-five years employed as chief engineer 
of the Goodrich Transit Company was announced Tuesday. Capt. Elliott remains with 
the Goodrich Company in advisory capacity and at full salary under a resolution 
adopted by the board of directors of the company at a meeting held in Chicago 
February 27.
Joseph Peroutka, engineer of the Goodrich steamer, Christopher Columbus, succeeds 
Capt. Elliott as chief engineer of the line, announcement of the appointment of 
the local man being made co-incident with the retirement of the veteran engineer. 
Action of the Goodrich Company in retiring Capt. Elliott on full pay is a service 
which had been rendered the company and letter announcing the company's actions 
expresses the esteem and confidence in which Mr. Elliott is held by the officers 
of the Company. The resolution, a copy of which has been forwarded to Capt. Elliott 
reads: “Mr. W. E. Elliott, Chief Engineer, be placed on the retired list and on 
account of his many years of very satisfactory service, at full pay. It is the 
wish of the directors that Mr. Elliott act in advisory capacity. Joseph Peroutka 
will be appointed chief engineer of the Company and it is hoped that Mr. Peroutka 
may be advised that he many call upon Mr. Elliott for advice whenever occasion 
demands.”
Capt. Elliott came to the Goodrich Line April 15, 1868 and within another month 
will have rounded out fifty-five years of service with the Company, which he said 
was the best operating on the Great Lakes, barring none. Mr. Elliott paid tribute 
to the officers of the line, particularly President H. W. Thorpe, whom he has been 
associated and declared that Mr. Thorpe had been the Savior of the Goodrich Company 
and was one of the most efficient and capable men in lake transportation.
It was aboard the old steamer, Alpena, as chief engineer that Capt. Elliott came to 
the Goodrich Company. When the Company purchased the boat at Detroit, he was sent 
with it to the port, the Alpena being the first boat to land at the present docks 
and warehouses of the Goodrich Company. Capt. Elliott became chief engineer of the 
line during the time of the late Capt. A.W. Goodrich, its founder and was a close 
personal friend of Mr. Goodrich. He has served with the Company under four 
superintendents, Captains F.G. Burgon, W.E. Gillman, D.M. Cochrane and Franklin and 
said today that his relations had always been the most cordial and his service with 
the company a pleasure. The Corona was the first boat built under the supervision 
of Capt. Elliott and he has superintended the construction of every new boat and 
rebuilding of old boats of the line since that time.
“For the first time in sixty years, I am without a job,” said Capt. Elliott Tuesday, 
but he did not appear to be unhappy over the matter. Capt. and Mrs. Elliott, who have 
been residents here for twenty-five years, will continue their home here where Mr. 
Elliott will be available to the Goodrich Company in advising on matters of boat 
construction.

WILLIAM H. ELLIS

WILLIAM ELLIS DIES AFTER A BRAVE FIGHT 
Prominent Young Business Man of Two Rivers Succumbs 
Seldom has a community been more shocked than it was late yesterday afternoon 
upon receiving the news that William Ellis of Two Rivers had lost out in his 
fight for life and had succumbed at a Chicago hospital where he has been 
receiving treatment and where he was operated upon five weeks ago.
The operation for gall stones performed at that time  was found to have revealed 
a more serious condition than was expected and though the patient had rallied, 
he was only holding his own for the past two weeks and later, suffered a relapse 
and..(two lines underinked and unreadable)…which came at 4 o’clock yesterday 
afternoon. Joseph Koenig, his father-in-law, received the sad message here and 
immediately departed for Chicago to be with his daughter and to take charge of 
the body. 
Operated Five Weeks Ago 
Exactly five weeks ago today the operation was performed at the Presbyterian 
hospital, Chicago and from the first realization came that the fight would be 
a hard one, with the odds against the patient. At no time, however, was hope 
given up and even as late as yesterday morning Mr. Ellis was sitting up and 
announced that he was feeling better and his wife who has been a constant 
attendant at his bedside felt renewed hope. She had planned to make a brief 
visit home today. 
Deceased was born at Freeport, Ill., and came to Two Rivers five years ago where 
he married Miss Ruby Koenig, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Koenig, on July 8, 
1916. One daughter, Barbara, aged fifteen months, together with his father and 
two brothers and sisters all living at Freeport, survive. He was but 35 years 
of age. 
Decedent was a member of the local lodge of Elks and also a member of the Two 
Rivers lodge of Masons. 
Head of Metalware Co. 
He was president of the Two Rivers Metalware Manufacturing company organized a 
few years ago at that city and only recently it is said the company had taken 
over a Chicago plant and was planning to move the equipment to Two Rivers. He 
had achieved a marked success in the venture which manufactured copper and 
metalware products and it was branching out and becoming a big institution chiefly 
because of the directing genius of its head. He was a graduate of the University 
of Wisconsin.
Decedent was one of the rising and immensely popular both with his young business 
men of his native city business associates and in the social life of the community. 
As president of the Lakeside Country club he took a great interest in its success 
and during his tenure of office the club enjoyed one of the best years of its 
existence. He put the same energetic work in furthering its success as he did in 
anything he undertook and the club reflected his enthusiasm in more than marked 
degree. 
A Community Sorrowful 
Two Rivers and Manitowoc will feel the death of Mr. Ellis keenly. Alive to every 
business enterprise with which his city was identified, he was at once progressive 
and assisted in every way to further the cause of civic improvement. As a business 
man he had become recognized as a genius and though but thirty-five years of age 
had already become one of the moving spirits in the business life of the community. 
To be stricken down in the prime of his young life is a sad visitation and can 
only be borne with the fortitude that comes with realization that Life is uncertain 
and that no one knows the day, nor the hour. Two Rivers will miss Will Ellis and 
his many friends here can only extend the sincere sympathy to a well beloved and 
bereaved family. 
The funeral will take place Friday afternoon and will be held from the home of 
Maximilian Rahr on North Eighth street.

The body of William H. Ellis, who died at Chicago Thursday afternoon at the

Rivers Lodge No. 200, Free and Accepted Masons of which Mr. Ellis was a 
member.

in Chicago, IL and her funeral was handled by Herald Frazier. Therefore, I think
