HENRY C. HIGGINS

BUILDER OF CAR LINE HERE PASSES
H.C. HIGGINS DIES AT HOME, CENTRALIA, ILL.
Brother of Thomas Higgins of This City Fails To Survive 
Effects of Fall Injury (Photo)
Henry C. Higgins, brother of Thomas Higgins of this city, and who 
in 1901, in company with the father, built the city street car 
lines here, and the interurban line to Two Rivers, under the firm 
name of the Manitowoc and Northern Traction Co., died last night 
at Centralia, Ill., where he has been making his home for the past 
several years.
Suffering a fractured hip in a fall in front of the fireplace in 
his home there Sunday, Mr. Higgins grew worse, and pneumonia 
developed from which he died at nine o'clock last evening. Mr. and 
Mrs. Thomas Higgins and daughter, Miss Helen, left last night for 
Centralia, when advised yesterday afternoon of the serious condition 
of Mr. Higgins.
The deceased, who rounded out more than four score years in life's 
span, was well known to many Manitowoc residents, both through his 
association in the interurban and city street car line here with 
his brother, and by frequent visits to the city in later years. He 
visited here at Thanksgiving time last year, coming here with his 
wife to attend the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 
Higgins.
Born in New Jersey
Mr. Higgins was born in New Jersey and spent his early life there. 
In 1863 the family moved west and established a home near Sterling, 
Ill. He engaged with his brother, Thomas, in the road contracting 
business, building highways through the then undeveloped prairie 
country. They soon extended their operations to the building of 
railroads and in the years 1873 and 1877 carried contracts with the 
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for building a long stretch of that road 
through northwestern Ohio.
The two brothers later engaged in the building of gas works and built 
and put in operation many gas properties in various states. When 
Thomas A. Edison developed his first electric light in the early 
eighties, the Higgins brothers were among the first to build and 
establish electric central stations. One of the first of these was 
built at Neenah taking advantage of the water power of the Fox river. 
This was in 1885. A few years before Henry and Thomas Higgins had 
built the gas works at that place.
In the year 1885 Mr. Higgins moved to Marinette where he built the 
gas works, the central electric station and the electric street 
railway line. He became president and general manager of the Marinette 
Gas, Electric Light and Street Railway Co. and was prominent in the 
up-building of Marinette. He, with others, founded the Frist National 
Bank of Marinette and it was through the efforts of Henry Higgins 
that a movement was launched by several leading business men of 
Marinette, for the erection of the Hotel Marinette.
Came Here in 1901
Mr. Higgins was also instrumental in the founding of the Oakwood 
Beach club there and also the Marinette Chautauqua. In the year 1901, 
Mr. Higgins and his brother, Thomas, came to Manitowoc, and secured 
a franchise to build the interurban street railway line to Two Rivers 
and the city line here. After the completion of the line Mr. Higgins 
disposed of his Marinette properties and his interests here and moved 
to Dixon, Ill., where, in association with Clement C. Smith and John I. 
Beggs, he operated the gas and electric properties there and built and 
interurban line connecting Dixon and Sterling, Ill.
Sold Out in 1922
These properties were sold in 1906 to the Insul interests and Mr. 
Higgins then bought and operated the gas and electric properties in 
Centralia, Ill. He continued to make that city his home. He sold these 
properties in Centralia in 1922 to the Illinois Power and Light Co. 
and since then has been living a retired life.
Mr. Higgins was married at Neenah to Miss Helen Gaffney, a daughter 
of Philip Gaffney, pioneer Neenah merchant. She survives him with 
four children, Harry C. Higgins, Centralia, Ill., Mrs. Theo. Taylor, 
Chicago, Mrs. John C. Carroll, Toronto, Can., Mrs. Cline Bagwell, 
Bay City, Mich., and a brother, Thomas Higgins of this city. There 
are also five grandchildren.
No word has been received here regarding the funeral arrangements, 
other than announcement that interment would take place at Centralia, 
Ill, probably on Saturday.

JOHN D. HIGGINS    (d. 2012)

John D. Higgins, age 71, of 1706 Western Avenue, Manitowoc, passed away early 
Saturday morning, May 12, 2012 at home after a short but courageous battle with 
cancer.

Phillip and Margaret Thomas. John graduated from Racine High School and proudly 
served with the United States Air Force for 4 years. For years, John bartended 
at many establishments throughout the city including the Left End Steakhouse, 
Tower Tavern, Welcome Inn and the Eagles Club. John also drove for Handicare and 
school bus for Brandt Buses.
John will always be remembered as a jack of all trades. He was the kind of guy 
who could build or fix anything. His biggest love were the classic cars and loved 
to watch the Barrett Jackson auctions. He knew the year, model and engine the car 
had and would start to tell stories about how he would drive his mother crazy in 
his younger days racing his Harley and hot rods he used to build.
John was very proud of his Irish heritage and always looked forward to St. Patrick's 
Day. He was a very knowledgeable man and it seemed he always would argue with the 
biggest guy in the place and never backing down knowing he was right. He was a 
small man but had a big heart and would do anything to help a friend or family 
member in need. He enjoyed playing golf, shooting pool, playing bingo and dining 
at Green Street with Shirley.
John was not perfect as none of us are, but we all knew he loved us and we will miss 
him very much.
Survivors include four sons: John Jr., Joe, Jim, Jeff; three daughters that he raised 
as his own: Melody, Wendy, Kari; a brother: Scott; five sisters: Jean, Kathy, Mary, 
Donna, Ellen; son and daughters-in-law; grandchildren; nieces, nephews, aunts, and 
many friends. John was preceded in death by the love of his life; Shirley King; his 
parents: Phillip and Margaret Thomas; a brother-in-law: Alex; and best friends: Mac 
McCredie and Mike Phillips.
Cremation has occurred at All-Care Cremation Center in Manitowoc and per John's 
request, there will be no services and his cremated remains will be buried next to 
Shirley in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.

DANIEL L. HILL

"A MOST MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. -
On Saturday afternoon news was received here by telegraph from Chicago, 
that on that morning Capt. Daniel Hill, of this village, master of the 
schooner Sea Gem, met with a sudden and melancholy death on board of 
his vessel while she was lying at the North pier in that city. 
"It appears that Capt. Hill was in his state-room, dressing himself, 
preparatory to going into the city on business. On entering the cabin 
from his room, and while in the door way between, the steward of the 
vessel, George McFarlane, a worthy and honest resident of Manitowoc, 
who was sitting at a table, nearly in front of his companion, picked 
up a pistol which the Captain had borrowed from his brother-in-law, to 
carry with him in the city, and began examining it. By some inexplicable 
carelessness the weapon was discharged, and the ball penetrated the heart 
of Capt. Hill. The unfortunate man instantly placed his hand upon his 
left breast, jumped up the stairway to the deck, and fell down a corpse, 
not having uttered a word. 
"The Chicago Journal, in giving an account of the unfortunate affair 
says that as soon as Mr. McFarlane comprehended the full extent of the 
act he had thus thoughtlessly and accidently committed, his sorrow and 
remorse completely overwhelmed him. He became almost bereft of reason, 
declared he did not wish to live longer, and actually attempted to throw 
himself into the river, but was forcibly prevented from so doing. Both 
he and Capt. Hill lived at Manitowoc, and had been intimate personal 
friends from boyhood. Soon after the fatal accident had occurred, Coroner 
Wagner summoned a jury on board the vessel and held an inquest. The result 
of this investigation was a verdict setting forth that deceased came to 
his death by the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of George 
McFarlane, steward of the schooner Sea Gem, while the vessel was lying 
at the lumber yard of Baldwin & Porter, near the North pier. 
"Capt. Hill was about 32 years of age, and left a wife and two children 
to mourn the untimely death of a husband and father. He was a good and 
enterprising citizen of the town, and was respected and esteemed by all 
of our people. His remains reached here from Chicago on Monday, accompanied 
by Mr. McFarlane and other friends, and his funeral took place that 
afternoon, attended by a large concourse of people. 
"The friends of the deceased, although deeply affected by this sudden 
bereavement, have been generous to the unfortunate man who caused the 
death of their relative, and he has their sympathy in his misfortune 
as well as that of all our citizens."

SOCRATES HILL

Socrates Hill died in Mtwc.
Manitowoc Herald, 03 Jul. 1862
*********
DIED.
In this Village, on the 20th inst., Mr. Socrates Hill, aged 54 years.
Mr. Hill was one of the oldest residents of this County. Honest and upright 
in all his dealings, with a warm heart and genuine benevolence of purpose, 
it is not surprising that he should have warm friends and few enemies. Though 
naturally sedate and taciturn, he took delight in meeting his friends in 
social intercourse, and was never more happy than when he could confer some 
favor upon his fellow men. His was an enlarged philanthropy which cost no 
effort to relieve the wants of suffering humanity; for his kindness was the 
spontaneous ebullition of generous impulses from a living spring. Ever quiet 
and unobtrusive he was free from the heart burnings and jealousies, the petty 
strifes and bickerings which accompany and excite men’s passionate ambition. 
He sought for his enjoyment in the circle of his friends, and his delight was 
in their happiness. Such men are always missed and the tears which in life 
they prevented from flowing, are shed above their graves. We have known the 
deceased many years and can attest to his genuine heartfelt sympathy, as well 
as to his integrity and honesty of purpose—Honor to his memory and peace to 
his ashes. 
Funeral at the tabernacle tomorrow, at 2 o’clock P.M.

FRED HINRICHS

There was general sorrow in our city on Sun. when news arrived of 
the death of Fritz Hinrichs. As is generally known, Mr. Hinrichs 
had a foot terribly mutilated several years ago in a hunting accident. 
Doctors recommended an amputation of the big toe, following which the 
wound still failed to heal so 2 more toes had to be amputated. The 
wound still wouldn’t heal and as a result of the last operation, Mr. 
Hinrichs had to be cared for in the local Holy Family Hospital and 
the doctors recommended a complete amputation. Mr. Hinrichs went to 
Milwaukee to consult specialists who also expressed the opinion that 
a full amputation was necessary, so he underwent the operation Thurs. 
morning in Passavant Hospital in Milwaukee. It appeared that the 
patient was saved, but death intervened Sun. morning. Fritz Hinrichs 
was born 53 yrs. ago in Esens, East-Friesland. After leaving school 
he studied pharmacy and served in the military as a one-year volunteer 
in France where he then worked for several years in a large perfume 
store. In 1878 he came to America as a representative of that company. 
He lived in several states and in the winter of 1882-83 came to Manitowoc 
and began working in the drugstore of his brother, Henry Hinrichs. 
Since then he remained a resident of Manitowoc. He was widely known as 
a capable pharmacist. During Pres. Cleveland’s 2nd term, he filled the 
office of Duty Collector in the local port. He was a member of the local 
Free Mason’s Lodge and of the Order of the Royal League. He is survived 
by his sorrowing mother, 4 brothers, 3 sisters and 2 step-sisters. Of 
the 4 brothers, 3 are residents in America, namely Henry here, Theodor 
in Baltimore, and Wilhelm in Milwaukee. Another brother who had lived 
in St. Paul died last winter. The deceased never married. In accordance 
with the wishes of the deceased, he was cremated in Milwaukee on Tues. 
and his ashes brought here for interment in the city cemetery.

LOSES LEG UNDER KNIFE.
Injury, First Thought to Be Slight, Has Serious Outcome at End.
From the result of what was thought to be a slight injury suffered some time 
ago, Fred Hinrichs has sustained the loss of his leg, an operation for amputation 
of the limb having been performed at Milwaukee Thursday. The leg was taken off 
just below the knee and it is thought that there will be no serious complications 
that will endanger the life of the patient. The injury, to which Mr. Hinrichs had 
given little attention, lately caused him much trouble and upon consulting 
specialists he was advised that amputation was the only course to be pursued with 
safety. Many friends will regret the misfortune that has overtaken Mr. Hinrichs, 
who is one of the best known men of the city. He is being cared for at the hospital 
in Milwaukee.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, July 15, 1904 P. 1
*********
FRED HINRICHS DEAD.
Succumbs to Operation Performed in Milwaukee Last Friday.
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, Fred Hinrichs of this city died at the Passavant 
hospital in Milwaukee from the effects of the amputation of a leg which he had 
undergone last Friday at the hospital mentioned. The sad tidings of his brother's 
demise were received by Henry Hinrichs Sunday morning in the form of a telephone 
message. The many friends of the deceased were shocked at the sad and unexpected 
outcome of the operation. During the past twenty-two years Mr. Hinrichs had been 
a resident of Manitowoc. He was one of the well known and popular business men 
of the city. He was born in Germany in 1851 and was 53 years of age at the time 
of his death. After receiving a thorough university education in his native 
country, he studied as a pharmacist. After serving one year in the German army 
he traveled widely through Europe as a salesman for a French perfume house. In 
1878 he came to this country, first spending about four years in Chicago, Milwaukee 
and other cities and coming to Manitowoc in 1882. "He was associated with his 
brother Henry Hinrichs in the drug business and made his home with the family." 
Several years ago he sustained an injury of the foot, when he had to submit to 
two operations to prevent his death from blood poisoning. He recovered from the 
operations, but of late he suffered much from a return of the old trouble. It was 
thought advisable to have the member amputated and last Friday he submitted to the 
operation which resulted in his untimely departure.
Mr. Hinrichs was looked up to as a business man of ability. He was esteemed by all 
that knew him. He was of a retiring disposition and cared little for display but 
he was a genial, kindhearted man who enjoyed life and won many friends. Deceased 
was a member of the Masonic Order and of the Royal League. He is survived by four 
brothers, William of Milwaukee, Theodore of Baltimore, Remmer in Germany and Henry 
of this city, and three sisters and two half sisters in Germany.
The funeral services were held at Milwaukee Tuesday morning. Members of the Masonic 
Order and Royal League were present. After the service the body was cremated. This 
was in accordance with an expressed wish of the deceased. The ashes will be brought 
here for interment in the Hinrichs private lot at Evergreen. There will be no 
services.
The death of Fred Hinrichs was the second that occurred in the family during the past 
year. A brother died at St. Paul a few months ago after a brief illness. Until a month 
ago Mr. Hinrichs appeared about the city in his usual manner and there was nothing to 
indicate that he was soon to be summoned to the Great Beyond.

HENRY HINRICHS

Henry Hinrichs Dies; Pioneer Druggist Here 
Henry Hinrichs, 89, retired Manitowoc druggist and active in the business and 
social life of Manitowoc for more than half a century, died late last night at 
his home, 603 North Ninth street. 
Mr. Hinrichs, who retired from the drug business here seven years ago, has been 
in failing health for several months. His only daughter, Mrs. Leroy C. Lewis of 
Portland, Oregon, who was here for several months to visit her father, returned 
to Oregon only last Saturday.
Born in Germany
Born in Germany in 1854, Mr. Hinrichs learned the drug and pharmacist trade as 
part of his schooling in his homeland and in 1871, at the age of 17, came to 
America with his sister, locating at Kewaunee and coming to Manitowoc a short 
time later. He was employed briefly at Branch and then came to this city to take 
a job with Thomas and John Robinson, who operated one of the first drug stores 
in Manitowoc on York street, between Eighth and Seventh streets.
With the death of Thomas Robinson, Mr. Hinrichs became a partner of John Robinson 
and in 1881 they purchased the stock of the drug store of Jones and Shallern, and 
moved into the present site of the Hinrichs store at North Eighth and York streets. 
Later Mr. Robinson acquired a drug store in Green Bay and Mr. Hinrichs took over 
his interests here.
In 1911 the business was incorporated as the Henry Hinrichs company and Anton 
Kostlevy became a partner. The business was continued until 1936 when Mr. Hinrichs 
sold the drug store to Mrs. Clara Damkoehler.
Active in Elks 
During his long span of business connections in Manitowoc, Mr. Hinrichs was active 
in fraternal and social groups. When the Manitowoc lodge of Elks was organized he 
became one of the first members. He was also a member of the early day German 
singing societies here. 
In his later years, Mr. Hinrichs developed a hobby of picking wild flowers and 
mushrooms, and often took long walks into the country to bring back remembrances 
to his hosts of friends.
More than 60 years ago he married Miss Bertha Wimpf, daughter of Manitowoc pioneers. 
She died in 1938.
Funeral plans are indefinite, awaiting word from the daughter, Mrs. Lewis, at 
Portland, and other relatives.
The body is at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home.

ADI HINRICHS  a brother of Henry and Fred Hinrichs of this city, recently died 
in Germany. He was well known to a number of people in this city having spent 
considerable time here. He went to Germany some months ago to receive treatment 
for his eyes. He came to this country only a few years ago, mastered the language 
thoroughly, adapted himself to the conditions of the country and identified 
himself at once with its interests, exhibiting in himself the highest type of 
naturalized citizenship. He became a good businessman and he was always a generous 
fellow. This is the first break in the Hinrichs family. They have always attracted 
attention at their reunions, because of their fine appearance and hearty good

MIST CLEARED AWAY.
HINTZ.
Michael Hintz, an old and highly respected resident of the city, 
died very suddenly at Sheboygan Monday. The news received in this 
city yesterday was a severe shock to relatives, who were totally 
unprepared for the sad tidings. Mr. Hintz had been at Sheboygan 
since Saturday and it was his intention to spend several days 
there visiting friends and relatives. Sunday he was taken suddenly 
ill and suffered intensely from inflammation of the bowels. No 
serious results were anticipated, however, and everything was done 
to make him comfortable. He grew steadily worse and at a late hour 
Monday afternoon closed his eyes to earthly secenes forever.
Deceased was a native of Germany and was born June 9, 1824. He 
emigrated to the United States in 1849 and located in this county. 
He was honest and upright and possessed the respect of all who knew 
him. A wife and four children survive to mourn his loss. The 
children are, Fred Hintz, Mrs. Henry Strauch, Mrs. August Gehbe and 
Mrs. George Hoffman.
The funeral will be held from the late home on Commercial street at 
2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. Rev. Zenk will officiate.
