J. RUSSELL EASTMAN MONOXIDE GAS FATAL TO YOUTH ONLY SON OF J.P. EASTMAN FOUND DEAD Monoxide Gas Claims Victim as Efforts of Physicians to Revive Him Fail A premonition by his mother that something might have happened to J. Russell Eastman, 27, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Eastman of 711 Park street, this city, when inquiry at the Eastman Manufacturing company revealed that he had not yet reported for work resulted in her discovering his apparently lifeless form on the floor of the garage in rear of the home after 7:30 o’clock this morning. Physicians were immediately summoned and they diagnosed the case as that of carbon monoxide poisoning but all efforts on their part to revive the young man failed and he was declared dead shortly after 8 o’clock. From the position of the body it was believed by relatives that Russell, or “Puddy” as he was familiarly known to his friends, had gone to the garage shortly before 7 o’clock with the intention of going to the factory and was in the act of walking to the garage door to open it when overcome. He fell less than a foot from the door which would have meant safety, and injured his face but the injury physicians said was not serious nor the cause of death. Believe Door Closed The door on the garage is said to be a bit over-balanced and it is believed that it closed itself after Mr. Eastman had entered the building to back out his car. It is the theory that he discovered that the door had closed after he had started his automobile and had stepped from the machine to walk to the door to open it when he was overcome. It was several feet in the rear of the car and near the door that the body was found on the floor of the garage. Physicians Unable To Save Youth Although almost overcome by the shock of her discovery, Mrs. Eastman had presence of mind to shut off the motor of the car and then hastened to call assistance, summoning Harry Burns, a relative of the family who called Drs. MacCollum and Donahue. The physicians worked for a half hour in efforts to resuscitate the stricken youth and used artificial respiration and all other known methods but to no avail. A call was put in for the fire department to aid in the work but when firemen arrived the youth had been pronounced dead. When he was discovered unconscious request was made of the police department for the pulmotor but it was explained that no oxygen or replacement tubes were available and the machine is worthless at the present time. Father Absent From City Joseph Eastman, father of the young man, is absent from the city on a business trip for the company and efforts were made to get in touch with him at Eau Claire where he was expected to be today, after having visited a number of Minnosota cities. Funeral arrangements are being delayed pending the return of Mr. Eastman. Born at Eau Claire J. Russell Eastman spent the greater part of his life in Manitowoc and was employed in the shipping room of the concern headed by his father. He was born in Eau Claire on June 22, 1903 but moved to this city when a boy and attended the Sacred Heart school here. He was of a decidedly retiring disposition but was popular with friends with whom his interests brought him in contact. A member of the Holy Name Society of the Sacred Heart church, he was devoutedly religious and active in the affairs of the organization. His only immediate survivors are his parents, a brother having passed away a number of years ago. The sympathy of the entire community has gone out to his bereaved parents who in their years of residence in Manitowoc have become widely and favorably known. Manitowoc Herald News, June 9, 1931 P. 1 ******* Funeral services for J. Russell Eastman, son of J. P. Eastman of the Eastman Mfg. Co., who was a victim of monoxide gas when about to take his car from the garage Tuesday morning, will be held Friday morning at ten o’clock from the Sacred Heart church with interment at Evergreen cemetery. The remains will be removed to the Eastman home on Park street on Thursday morning from the Pfeffer undertaking parlors.

RUFUS P. EATON DIED:--At his rooms in the Richard’s Block in this city on Sunday Eve, March 22, of chronic bronchitis, Rufus P. Eaton. Aged 75 years. We have been able to learn but few particulars regarding Mr. Eaton’s early life. He is well known throughout the State, having come to Wisconsin in Territorial times. As a lawyer he was noted for his tenacity and his readiness to carry his cases into the highest courts. For many years he made his semi-annual pilgrimages to the Supreme Court and the reports of the state contain many leading cases in the law of real estate in which he was concerned. Age and disease has taken him out of active practice for a number of years. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. at the St. James church. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, March 24, 1885 P.3 ******** Death of 75-year old Rufus P. Eaton last Sun. Der Nord Westen, 26 Mar. 1885 ******** R.P. EATON of this city died on Sunday night. He had been sick only for a short time although in feeble health for a number of years. Mr. Eaton was a lawyer by profession but never entered actively into the practice of the profession, except in conducting his own cases of which he had a great number. His principal business of late years was dealing in illegal tax certificates. He was unfortunate of late years in his speculations and died in almost a destitute condition, and without friends. Manitowoc Pilot, March 26, 1885 P. 3 ******** [bur. 04-10-1885/cause: chronic bronchitis] ******** No history of the Manitowoc bar would be complete which had no reference to R.P. Eaton, who was a member of it for many years. He came to Manitowoc about the year 1873. He was then in advanced years and never acquired much general practice, at this bar. He was a lawyrer of the old territorial days, a contemp- orary of Stow, Cotton, Baird and others of that day. He was a most determined fighter of the bull-dog type, getting hold and never letting go till every resource and technicality of the law had been exhausted. His name appears frequently in the early reports commencing in the 2nd Pinney and extending down to the 42nd Wisconsin Reports. His tenacity is commented on by the supreme court in Eaton vs. Lyman, 33d Wisconsin, P.36. Justice Lyon says: "This action now makes its fifth and it is earnestly hoped its last appearance in this court. The student who is anxious to learn something of the vicissitudes to which a lawsuit of even moderate dimensions may be subject when manipulated by skillful hands can gratify his curiosity to some extent by carefully perusing the reports in this case." Little is known of Mr. Eaton's early life. He was a Vermonter and as stated, came to Wisconsin at a very early day. His practice was largely confined to real-estate matters, especially tax title litigation. He died in Manitowoc in the autumn of 1884 (sic).

He was elected to the legislature in 1866 and served one term. He repeatedly served on the county board and was a justice of the peace for many years. He was a man of sturdy character, positive in his opinions and earnest in everything he did. He was a most companionable man, but never allowed his convictions to swerve because of popular clamor.

AMALIA EBERHARDT 1840-1920 Sent in by a family researcher/see contributors page DIE WAHRHEIT (German newspaper, Manitowoc County) 17 February 1920 [translated from German] On Wednesday, Mrs Amelia Eberhardt, widow of August Eberhardt, died of senility in the home of her daughter, Mrs Emma Aastaad. The deceased, whose maiden name was Amelia Mundt, was born 80 years ago in Nordhausen, Germany, and came to America at the age of seven with her parents, who settled in the town of Newton. At twenty, she married August Eberhardt, who died seven years ago. First, the couple managed a farm in the town of Newton and, later, in Four Corners; next, they moved to Manitowoc for many years. After the death of her husband, Mrs Eberhardt moved in with her previously mentioned daughter. She leaves behind six children, fourteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Death was due to infirmities incidental to old age and was probably hastened by the sudden death three months ago of a twin sister of Mrs Aasted, who passed away at Washington D C after a brief illness. The shock to the mother was severe and she never fully recovered from it. Mrs. Eberhardt, who was Miss Amelia Mund before her marriage, was born in Nordhausen, Germany, and at the age of seven came to this country with her parents, coming to Manitowoc county to locate. At the age of twenty she was married to August Eberhardt, who preceded her in death seven years. After her marriage the family made their homes on farms in Newton and then purchased the Eberhardt place at the Four Corners, the farm which is now owned and operated by Henry, one of the sons. A number of years ago the couple removed to this city and erected a fine home on Michigan avenue, where they lived until the demise of the husband. Since that time Mrs. Eberhardt has been making her home with her daughter. Six children survive Mrs Eberhardt. They are Henry, Charles and William, Mrs William Sampe, Mrs Richard Rudolph, and Mrs Edward Aasted. Besides the children, fourteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren and one brother, Gottfried Mund, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, survive. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon from the late home at 1:30 and service will be held at the German Methodist church. The service will be in charge of Rev Schellhase.

AUGUST EBERHARDT (d. 1913) (The following was sent in by family researcher/see contributors page) DIE WAHRHEIT (German newspaper, Manitowoc County) 11 November 1913 [translation from German] On Wednesday at his home on Michigan Avenue, August Eberhardt died following an apoplectic fit, from which he had suffered for some time, as we reported. The deceased was born on January 22, 1839, in Schaumburg- Lippe, and came to America with his parents in 1852. The family settled on a farm in the town of Newton and remained until he married Amalia Mundt in 1860. Thirty years ago, Mr Eberhardt bought the old McAllister farm in the town of Manitowoc Rapids, and managed it until he moved to the city of Manitowoc 17 years ago. The deceased leaves behind his widow and 7 children, as well as 2 brothers, Henry and Ernst Eberhardt. The funeral in on Saturday afternoon from the German Methodist Church. ********* [unknown source] PIONEER RESIDENT ANSWERS DEATH'S CALL PARALYSIS WHICH HE SUFFERED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HASTENS DEATH OF WELL KNOWN RESIDENT August Eberhardt, pioneer settler and one of the best known residents of the county, answered death's summons to rest at his home on Michigan Avenue at 6 o'clock this morning, death being directly due to a stroke of paralysis which Mr Eberhardt suffered some time ago and from which he never recovered, though he had been confined to his bed only a short time. Mr Eberhardt was 72 years of age. Mr Eberhardt's death was peaceful and, surrounded by members of his family and conscious to the last, he quietly passed to his rest, closing a life that had been characterized by industry that brought well merited success. The death of Mr Eberhardt will bring a pang of regret to many who knew him and who knew his worth as man and friend. Coming to Manitowoc county with his parents and brothers in 1852, at the age of 13, Mr Eberhardt carved his own success and by dint of hard work and business sagacity amassed a competency that in the closing days of his life had made him independent. For years Mr Eberhardt was one of the prominent farmers of the county, retiring sixteen years ago when he removed to this city where he has since resided on Michigan avenue. Mr Eberhardt was a native of Germany and was born at Hagenburg, Hannover, January 22, 1839. His boyhood days up to the time he was 13 were spent there. In 1852 the Eberhardt family located on a farm in the town of Newton, where Mr Eberhardt continued to reside until after his marriage November 28, 1860, to Amalia Mundt. Thirty years ago Mr Eberhardt purchased the old McAllister farm in the town of Rapids, said to be one of the first farms laid out in the county and which is today one of the most valuable. Sixteen years ago Mr Eberhardt removed to the city. Besides his wife, Mr Eberhardt is survived by seven children, Mrs Wm Sampe and Henry Eberhardt, town of Rapids; Mrs Richard Rudolph, Mrs E Aastad, Charles Eberhardt, this city; Mrs William O'Hara, of Washington D C; and William, town of Manitowoc. Two brothers, Henry and Ernst also survive. Mr Eberhardt was a devoted husband and indulgent father and found his chief happiness in life in his home, surrounded by his children, who gathered frequently for family reunions. He had the respect of neighbors and friends and was prominent in the business affairs of the community. The funeral of Mr Eberhardt will be held from the German M E church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
******** The will of the late August Eberhardt, Sr., was filed for probate in the county court last week. After the children of the deceased are cared for in the will, the balance of the estate goes to the widow of the deceased. Wm. G.

WILLIAM EBERHARDT, YOUNG WIFE AND MOTHER, AT HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT Life Goes Out Week After Birth of Twin Girls - Husband and Three Babes Survive to Mourn Her Demise No announcement in recent years has called forth the widespread sympathy occasioned by the death at the hospital last evening of Mrs. William Eberhardt, who had been a patient at the institution for a short time and a week ago was the mother of twin girls. Mrs. Eberhardt's death occurred at 7 o'clock and was forecast earlier in the day by the critical condition of the patient, who had been thought to be improving. Although Mrs. Eberhardt's condition had been critical, she having been in ill health for some time, family and friends had hoped for recovery and the news of her death last evening was a great shock. Mrs. Eberhardt was conscious up to within an hour of her death and with calmness bade loved ones farewell. Mrs. Eberhardt, nee Ida Kiel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Kiel, North Eighteenth Street, this city, was 30 years of age, having been born in the Town of Kossuth, March 2, 1884. She was married to Mr. Eberhardt June 29, 1910 and since that time the family had resided on a farm on the Neshoto Road in the Town of Manitowoc. Besides her husband, Mrs. Eberhardt is survived by three small children, Ruth, Martha and Marion, the latter two twins and one week old when death claimed the mother. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Kiel and three sisters, Mrs. Theodore Peterson and Misses Martha and Elsa Kiel, this city also survive. Mrs. Eberhardt was beloved by a large circle of friends. She was thoroughly attached to her family and in the bitterness of the great bereavement that they have so unexpectedly suffered appears what seems the very wantonness of the Destroyer. By the circle of fleeting years her life was short, indeed, but by the measure of deeds of unassuming kindness and acts of quiet nobility with which she filled each day, hers was a life work of length and beauty.
