GEORGE WARREN EMERY

LOST ON THE SEA BIRD
Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims 
of the Late Disaster.
Thirty-One Persons Lost.
In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have 
endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the 
information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will 
be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of 
relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand 
than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts--might perform the 
sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but 
it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt 
sympathy--and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your 
friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope 
that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in 
vain. The first name on our list is:
GEO. W. EMERY.
This well known citizen came to this place in 1856 from Monroe, Me. Prior to 
that time he was in the lumber business, but thinking to better his fortunes 
in the "Far West" he came to Wisconsin. For some years he had a grocery and 
general merchandise store on York St., we believe in the building now occupied 
by Mr. Smoke. About six years ago he engaged in the Lake Superior trade. He 
bought cattle, flour and various kinds of produce, which he shipped on 
speculation to dealer in that Northern climate, frequently making a journey 
thither himself. His purchases were not confined to this place; he bought here, 
there, anywhere that he could buy the cheapest, and was consequently traveling 
the greater part of the time. He was very fond of his home, but this trade was 
lucrative, and as he often said he felt as safe on a steamer as he did on the 
shore, he continued in it. He was a very strong man and it is related that in 
winter time when returning from Lake Superior he frequently walked long distances 
tiring, out the strongest horses. Knowing this, his friends did not give up hopes 
of his being saved until the last moment, but alas, their hopes were vain! He was 
also known to possess great presence of mind. Once when the Str. Planet took fire 
he was on board and rendered efficient service in subduing the flames. Captain 
Wilkins frequently refers to his efforts on that occasion. Quite reticent in his 
intercourse with his fellow men he still had warm friends. He was well educated 
and his opinion on all matters pertaining to every day life was highly valued. He 
was a good business man in every sense of the work, and we express but the common 
sentiment of our citizens when we state that the community has met with a great 
loss in his death. He leaves a wife and three children, the oldest being an 
interesting girl of 12 years, to mourn his untimely end.
(Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; 
James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Joseph 
Doucett, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, James Leykom, August Wilde, Richard Flossbach, 
Amos Meyer, John Melka, Martin Rozezguiatee, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, John Foucks, 
Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, Fred Henning Jr., 
and Thorine Oleson.)
OTHERS.
We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been 
chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the 
country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee 
or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were 
Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD.

MARY ELA EMERY   (d. 1873)

From the Files of the Pilot - Forty-Four Years ago (1873)
DIED - Emery
On Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock am, March 8th, 1873 at Manitowoc, Wis., 
Mamie E. Emery(sic), aged 17 years, 6 months.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs, Mar. 8, 1917
********
DIED.
EMERY—On Tuesday morning, at 8-1/2 o’clock, A.M., March 11th, 1873, at Manitowoc, 
Wis., MAMIE (sic) E. EMERY, aged 17 years, 6 months.
It seems almost unnecessary to do more than speak the name of Mamie Emery after 
announcing her much lamented decease; for just her name has been, with a large 
circle of acquaintances, a synonym for unusual graces of personal character; so 
that retaining her name seems like preserving a beautiful casket brimming full 
of rare gems.
It is vain, in this public way, to hope to administer solace or comfort to the 
wounded hearts of her bereaved mother and relatives. There are griefs too sacred 
to be unveiled to the world and too tender to be assuaged by any consolations 
proferred by the public. But with cautious words, lest we should seem to draw 
rule attention to the anguish and desolation of a broken circle, we will, on 
behalf of a multitude of friends, give expression to the deep sense of bereavement 
that pervades our community, with both young and old; we will drop a tear with 
those that weep, and endeavor to embalm the choice memories that cling and cluster 
about her name.
Her life, so well known to many in Manitowoc, though a mirror of purity and innocence, 
and lately so rich in the developments of worth and solid excellence, was not more 
beautiful than the circumstances attending her sickness and death. Although she 
seemed to dispute with disease for the mastery of life for a period of three months, 
yet a murmur never escaped her lips, and her abounding kindness and gratitude 
constantly prompted her, whether at midnight or in the morning or at noonday, to 
recognize and warmly acknowledge the smallest attention, until the power to recognize 
kindness faded away together with the decay of her power to express gratitude. The 
symmetry and balance of her character were never lost nor even marred by the wasting 
of disease nor the contemplation of death. Her peace was so complete, her confidence 
so well grounded, and her hopes so bright, that she was herself surprised at her 
unalloyed happiness. Her life was short and in the ordinary way of judging not 
eventful; but let its value and importance be measured, not by the number of her 
years, but by the excellence and beauty of the character she attained. She has been 
taken from her family and friends; but sweeter than the flowers that will distill the 
dews of heaven upon her grave, more gentle and placid than the summer resting of the 
Lake she loved to gaze upon, and brighter than the studded sky that will guard her 
resting place, will be the affectionate remembrance of all who knew Mamie Emery.

CARL W. ENDRESS

WHERE THE WEARY FIND REST
Carl W. Endress, Pioneer Resident, Passes from Life of Long Years
One more of the pioneers of Manitowoc county has crossed the river 
to rest in the shade of the trees, death having released Carl W. 
Endress from the responsibilities of earthly life at 10 o’clock 
Sunday night. Death’s messenger is a sad visitation, but when the 
insidious foe of life has gnawed for months, oftimes for years, on 
the vitals of some fond charge on the care and attention of mother, 
father, husband, wife or children, who have watched the color fade 
from the cheek and the luster from the eye, then it is that the 
soul is glad to pass the portals and bring relief to dying mortality 
as well as to the living. Such was the end of Carl Endress, who for 
a long period had battled disease until his enfeebled constitution 
could no longer bear up and then, conscious up to within a few 
minutes of death, his eyes closed peacefully and the spirit silently 
took flight. 
Carl W. Endress, who had been a resident of this county nearly half 
a century, was born in Wittenberg, Germany, November 7, 1828 and 
immediately after his marriage in 1854 came to Manitowoc county where 
he has since been a prominent and highly respected resident. For 
years, from 1855 to 1888 he made his home at Two Rivers and at the 
latter date retired from active business pursuits and came to this 
city where he has continued to reside. Mrs. Endress died a few months 
ago and since that time the husband has failed rapidly. He was a 
patient sufferer and received the tender care of his children, but 
it was seen some time ago that his life work was about to be finished. 
His death came as a severe shock. During his life-time acquaintance 
with affairs of Manitowoc county Mr. Endress had ever been a citizen 
devoted to the interests of the community and had accomplished much 
for the advancement of this section. He was a man of high character 
and was universally esteemed. Three sons Emil G. and S.F., of Saulte 
Ste. Marie, and A.J., of this city, and one daughter, Mrs. Joseph 
Willott Jr., besides a large circle of friends, survive to mourn his 
demise. 
The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon from the late home, 504 
State street and will be in charge of the fraternal organization Sons 
of Hermann, of which deceased was a member.

After a long illness Carl W. Endress, well-known resident of our city,

commercial fishery. He moved to Manitowoc in 1888 where he lived ever 
since. He lost his wife only a few months ago. He is survived by 3 sons

and was married to the wife who preceded him to the grave only a few months ago, 
in 1854. He settled in Two Rivers soon after his arrival in this country and 
worked at his trade, that of a shoemaker for several years. He then took up the 
business of fishing and was one of the few who made a success of it. In 1888 he 
moved to Manitowoc after making this city his home for more than 30 years. His 
funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was largely attended. His son, Adolph 
and his only daughter, Bertha, wife of Hon. Jos. Willolt Jr., reside in Manitowoc. 
His other two surviving sons, Emil and Richard reside at the Soo. They were all

intelligence, endurance and persistence. He was a devoted husband and father and 
as a citizen he was deserving of general esteem.

Death came suddenly without warning to Mrs. J. F. Engelbrecht, 924 South Thirteenth 
St. this morning, Mrs. Engelbrecht expiring as she was about to return to her bed 
after having been about the house for a short time. Though indisposed and ill for 
several weeks, Mrs. Engelbrecht's condition was not thought to be serious and her 
sudden demise is a painful shock to family and friends. Mrs. Engelbrecht expired 
in the arms of her daughter, who was in the room with her.
Mrs. Engelbrecht, through the years of residence in the city, was well known to a 
large circle of friends. She was 54 years of age and up to a few weeks ago had 
enjoyed robust health, but recently she suffered an attack of illness which though 
it had confined her to her bed, was not considered serious and left her bed and for 
some time was sitting up talking with members of the family. At 10 o'clock, somewhat 
tired from her exertions, she decided to return to her bed and was just about to do 
so and was seated upon the edge of the bed, when she suddenly fell over and when her 
daughter reached her, was unconscious, death coming within a few seconds. 
Mrs. Engelbrecht, with her husband, had made Manitowoc their home for a long term 
of years and have many friends to whom the announcement of death will bring a keen 
sense of personal loss. The husband, with ten children survive Mrs. Engelbrecht. 
Children surviving Mrs. Engelbrecht are Arthur, John Jr., Hugo, Oscar, this city; 
Mrs. J. W. Kern, Milwaukee; Mrs. Emil Lebeck, Luxemburg; Amanda, Leanda, Leona, Lillian 
and Elsa of this city. The funeral arrangements have not been completed but Rev. 
Machmiller of the German Lutheran Church will officiate, Mrs. Engelbrecht having been 
a devoted member of that church for years. The death of Mrs. Engelbrecht will be 
deplored by many friends.

An enthusiastic beliver in Christ, Mom lost her battle with cancer. But her life 
demonstrated that even though the physical body may be destroyed by disease, the 
Spirit can remain triumphant.
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill freindship,
It cannot shut of memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eteranl life,
It cannot quench the Spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.
If an incurable disease has invaded your life, refuse to let it touch your spirit. 
Your body can be severely afflicted, and you may have a great struggle. But if you 
keep trusting God's love, your spirit will remain strong.

EUGENE ENGELBRECHT JR    (d. 1956)

Two young Manitowoc County children died in separate accidents Tuesday after-
noon within a short time of each other.
Killed were Eugene Engelbrecht Jr., 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Engelbrecht 
Sr. of Rt. 3, Manitowoc and…
Young Engelbrecht was killed instantly about 3:40 p.m. when the bicycle he was 
riding was struck by a northbound automobile driven by Arthur J. Zinkel, 24, 
of Rt. 3, Manitowoc. The accident occurred as the boy and five companions were 
emerging from the driveway of the Gustav Friedrichsmeier residence on the east 
side of old Highway 141 a half mile north of the Circle In.
Zinkel told Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen that he applied his brakes about 75 
feet south of the driveway and swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid hitting 
the boys.
The front of his car struck young Engelbrecht and narrowly missed hitting several 
of his companions. The boy was tossed in the air and flung against the windshield. 
His body was found in the west ditch north of the driveway. Dr. Teitgen said the 
boy died instantly of a skull fracture and broken neck and also had two broken 
arms and a badly mangled left leg.
On Way From School
Riding with Fogelbrecht at the time were Roger and Donald Sprang, Gerald and Robert 
Speath and Robert Popp, all school mates of the deceased. The boys were on their 
way home from school and had stopped at the Friedrichsmeier residence to pick up 
some pears lying on the ground in an orchard after asking the permission of the 
occupants. They were leaving the residence when the accident occurred.
County traffic police said a seven foot high hedge on the east side of the road 
and to the south of the driveway blocked the view of both the bicyclists and the 
driver.
Zinkel, an employe of the Kohler Co., was on his way home at the time…
Dr. Teitgen said Wednesday that an inquest will be held __ the ___.

of death: cramps.  He is buried on a lot purchased by Ferdinand Engelbrecht,

EX-SHERIFF J. ENGELBRECHT PASSES AWAY
Death Claims Former County Official AT Milwaukee Where He Made Home
Ex-Sheriff John Engelbrecht of this city, who for three years has made his 
home at Milwaukee, passed away (rest of sentence unreadable) afternoon, news 
of the death being received in messages late in the day. Mr. Engelbrecht had 
been failing for some time and during the past three weeks had declined 
rapidly and death was not unexpected. He was 78 years of age.
The body of Mr. Engelbrecht will brought to this city for burial, arriving 
Wednesday afternoon, and funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 o'clock 
from the home of his daughter Mrs. Emil Lebech, 1010 So. Twenty-first street. 
Interment will be at Evergreen.
Was Widely Known
Mr. Engelbrecht, known to his friends as "Honest John," served Manitowoc 
county as sheriff in 1914, one of few democrats to be elected in the past 
decade in the county which for many years was a democratic stronghold. Mr. 
Engelbrecht was widely known, having for many years previous to his election 
as sheriff been a salesman for the International Harvester Company, and 
coming into personal contact with farmers and business men of the county. 
He had a personality that was also a factor in his campaign and received a 
large endorsement and served efficiently in his office.
Born in Germany May 19, 1850, Mr. Engelbrecht came to America at the age of 
17, the family locating in Nebraska and a year later removing to Manitowoc 
where he continued his residence up to three years ago. Mr. Engelbrecht 
lived on a farm at Rosencrans and was married 55 years ago to Bertha Bruss 
who preceded him in death 17 years ago. The couple came to the city forty 
years ago.
Nine children survive Mr. Engelbrecht, five residing in this city, Mrs. 
Emil Lebech, John, Hugo, Arthur and Oscar, of this city. Four daughters 
reside at Milwaukee, being Mrs. J.W. Kern, Mrs. Ernst Broot, Mrs. Herman 
Koshnik and Mrs. Herbert Erdmann.
Mr. Engelbrecht had made his home with a daughter at Milwaukee since 
leaving here and had visited in the city on numerous occasions until his 
health became too feeble. He had not been seriously ill, but a gradual 
decline which had become rapid the past few weeks, forecast the end which 
came yesterday.

ROSE (OESTREICH) ENGELBRECHT

Mrs. Edward Engelbrecht Dies at Green Bay as Restoration to 
Health Seemed Sure
Messages received in the city from Green Bay, Saturday evening, 
announcing the death there of Mrs. Edward Engelbrecht of this city, 
came as a sad shock to relatives and friends here who had believed 
Mrs. Engelbrecht on the high road to recovery and had anticipated 
her return home in a short time. Death was due to pneumonia. Mrs. 
Engelbrecht underwent an operation at the Green Bay hospital three 
weeks ago and a second operation was necessary but she appeared to 
be improving until she suffered an attack of Spanish influenza, 
which developed into pneumonia, and in her weakened condition she 
proved easy prey to the disease. 
Decedent was a native of Manitowoc county, her maiden name having 
been Rose Oestreich. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry 
Oestreich and was born on Feb. 4, thirty years ago. She was married 
to Mr. Engelbrecht seven years ago. Besides her husband, Mrs. 
Engelbrecht is survived by her parents, three brothers and one sister. 
The body was brought here from Green Bay yesterday and the funeral 
will be held from the late home, 414 North Ninth street, tomorrow 
afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Machmiller officiating.

WILHELM ENGELBRECHT

The body of Wm. Engelbrecht, who died suddenly in Chicago, was brought here
last week for burial. The facts surrounding his death have so far not been 
revealed, only that the local police have been advised that there is a 
coroner’s inquiry in Chicago. Naturally, the parents wish to know the facts 
surrounding their son’s death and have asked the local police to investigate. 
Wm. Engelbrecht, who was 30 years old and who leaves his parents and several 
sisters, had been living in Chicago for several years where he was a fireman 
on a steamer.
Der Nord Westen, 22 Oct. 1908 
********
ASK POLICE TO GET AT FACTS
Relatives Unable to Learn Facts About Death of W. Engelbrecht
Unable to learn the details of the death of William Engelbrecht, a Manitowoc boy 
whose body was shipped here from Chicago Thursday night, local undertakers and the
police, at request of relatives, will ask the Chicago authorities to investigate. 
The fact that an inquest is pending in Chicago leads to the belief that Engelbrecht's 
death was attended by unusual circumstances and may have been tragic and relatives 
are desirous of gaining information on the subject.
Refusal of Chicago undertakers who had charge of the body to inform local undertakers 
of the facts add to the mystery in the case and coupled with this is the incident of 
a phone message to Police Chief Groffman from Chicago Thursday from someone who wanted 
to confer with him on the death. The Chicago party, evidently a man, insisted that no 
one but the police chief must be communicated with but it was impossible to get the 
message through.
Delay in the shipping of the body of Engelbrecht from Chicago is what caused the 
suspicion that some unusual feature attended his death. The fact that the body arrived 
here without the requisite board of health transportation permit also confirmed the 
suspicion that there was something extraordinary connected with the case. A note was 
received today from the Chicago undertaker stating that the cause of death was tetanus 
but further than that gave no explanation save that an inquest was pending.
No satisfactory reason could be secured as a cause for the delay in shipment of the body 
but after its arrival, the note stating that an inquest was pending added to the mystery. 
The body was prepared for interment at the Vogelsang and Murphy rooms and an examination 
there revealed nothing that might be construed unusual with the remains. The funeral was 
held today from the home of the parents on Green Street.
William Engelbrecht left for Chicago several years ago and was engaged as a steamboat 
fireman with that city as his headquarters. He roomed at 1722 West 63rd Street but died 
at the hospital. He is survived by his parents and several sisters and brothers. He was 
30 years of age and unmarried.

REMOVED SCAB, DEATH RESULTED
Chicago Police Furnish Details of Death of Wm Engelbrecht in That City
Removal of a scab which was formed over a wound resulting from a rusty nail in the foot 
caused the death of William Engelbrecht, a Manitowoc boy who died at Chicago and about 
whose death a pall mystery hung because Chicago undertakers and police authorities 
neglected to inform relatives of the details. Inquiries made at the time by local police 
brought no satisfactory explanation and the fact that an inquest had been ordered on the 
death and that the transportation certificate did not accompany the body when it was 
received here caused much speculation and some anxiety to the family and friends and 
Police Chief Groffman was asked to investigate.
Details of the death of Engelbrecht are told in a letter from the Chicago police department 
to the local police received Friday. Engelbrecht was injured October 8 when he stepped 
upon a rusty nail at Illinois and Cass Streets, Chicago and his death was directly due to 
the injury resulting when the nail penetrated the foot. The unfortunate youth removed the 
scab which had formed and blood poisoning resulted which was followed by death in a few 
days.
Engelbrecht was 30 years of age and had been at Chicago for several years employed as a 
marine fireman. His body was brought here for burial.

ALBERT ENGELS

DEATH CLAIMS ALBERT ENGELS   
SUCCOMBS (sic) AT HOME HERE; ILL FOR FOUR WEEKS 
Former Alderman, Store Proprietor and Insurance Agent To Be Buried on Monday 
Albert Engels, 66, former alderman, pioneer store proprietor of Manitowoc, and 
who for a number of years has been engaged in the real estate and insurance 
business here, passed away this morning at eight o’clock at the family home, 
1213 South Eighth street. Although he was confined to his bed only the past four 
weeks he has been a sufferer from heart disease for a number of years. However, 
he was always able to continue his business until he was stricken about a month 
ago. 
Death of Mr. Engels removes from the community one of the best known and respected 
citizens. He was identified with numerous enterprises in Manitowoc for over forty 
years and his jovial manner and pleasant ways endeared him to hosts of friends who 
will be grieved to learn of his demise today. 
Funeral To Be Private 
Funeral services for Mr. Engels will be held Monday afternoon at two o’clock from 
the Vogelsang Funeral Home, South Eighth and Marshall streets, in charge of Rev. 
Phipps. They will be private and friends are asked to kindly omit flowers.
The deceased was born at Thiensville, Wis., sixty-six years ago and came to Manitowoc 
when a small boy. He attended the public schools here and after graduating secured 
employment at the Schuette and Torrison stores here. Later he opened a delicatessen 
store on South Eighth street. In June, 1894, he was married to Miss Anna Stuiber of 
this city, who survives him. 
Managed Local Theaters 
Later Mr. Engels launched into business for himself on the west side, engaging in 
the grocery business at the present Waack stand. It was while a resident of the Fifth 
ward that he took an interest in city affairs and he was elected to the city council 
for two terms, from 1910 to 1914, declining further honors from the electorate in 
order to devote his full attention to his business. 
Mr. Engels was an active member of the Turners society, and he, together with Rudolph 
Goetzler, operated the old Turner Hall, later the Orpheum theater on Washington street 
and also the Crystal theater (now the Strand) on the north side. They continued the 
operation of these two play houses for five years from 1909 to 1914, and during that 
time brought many worth while attractions to Manitowoc.
Goes Into Insurance Business 
A number of years ago Mr. Engels engaged in the real estate and insurance business 
taking over the agency operated on South Eighth street for many years by the late 
C. C. Ertz. Mr. Engels was a member of the Masonic Order and also of the United 
Commercial Travelers. 
Besides his widow he is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Otto Schmidt and Mrs. John 
Kelley of this city and Mrs. Henry Stolze Jr. of Los Angeles, Cal. 
The remains may be viewed from 2 to 4 in the afternoon and from 7 to 9 in the evening 
up to the time of the funeral at the Vogelsang Funeral Home.

JOHN ERDMANN    (d. 1914)

DEATH COMES AS CLIMAX TO MISFORTUNES OF LITTLE FAMILY WHEN IT TAKES FATHER, 
LONG A SUFFERER 
John Erdman (sic), a north side man, gave up an unequal struggle against 
tuberculosis yesterday when death came to him at Maple Crest sanatorium where 
he had been a patient for some time. Erdman was in the advanced stages of the 
disease when he consented to go to the sanatorium and while his life had 
undoubtedly been prolonged by the care he received, there was no hope for his 
recovery.
Erdman’s death is peculiarly sad. He was but 36 years of age and is survived 
by a wife and four children. The little family made a brave struggle against 
adversity but the father’s illness was a handicap that forced them to succumb, 
and Erdman has been cared for by the city. 
The body was brought to the vault at Evergreen today and the burial will be 
held tomorrow.

BACKED INTO SHAFT, IS HURT
John Erdman Injured at Smalley Plant Today, May Be Serious
John Erdman, employed at the shops of the Smalley Manufacturing Co. was 
severely injured at the plant of the company this morning in a fall into 
the elevator shaft, Erdman suffering a depressed fracture of the skull 
severe scalp wounds and a fracture of the shoulder blade. Erdman is at 
the hospital and unless the injuries are more serious than now thought, 
it is believed he will recover. Erdman was working about the plant and 
walked into the elevator shaft backward, falling to the bottom of the 
shaft and striking upon his head. The elevator had been dropped and 
Erdman was not aware of the fact and he backed into the shaft before 
he could be warned of his danger. If Erdman has not sustained a fracture 
at the base of the brain, his chances for recovery are said to be excellent 
but his condition causes alarm. The man was severely bruised about the head 
and body by the fall and will be incapacitated for several weeks at any rate. 
Erdman is a married man, residing with his family on North Eighth St. He had 
been employed at the plant of the Smalley Co. for some time.
