ALBERT LANDRETH Death of Mr. Albert Landreth News was received in Manitowoc yesterday that Mr. Albert Landreth, President of the A. Landreth Pea Canning Company of Manitowoc and Sheboygan, died in Florida, where he and his family had been spending the winter from a very brief illness. His body will be brought home for burial and will probably reach Manitowoc on Thursday. His funeral will undoubtedly be under Masonic auspices as he was a prominent member of that order. Mr. Landreth inaugurated the pea canning business in this county and by so doing, undoubtedly did as much for the county as any man who ever claimed this county as a home as it is now one of the leading, if not the leading industry of the county and his success has promoted the same industry in Sheboygan, Kewaunee, Brown and Door Counties as well as in this county. Besides the great canning factory established by him in Manitowoc and the branch factory of his firm in Sheboygan, his success has led to the establishment of another similar factory in Manitowoc, as great in capacity as the one he built there and in this city, Kewaunee, Green Bay, Algoma and Sturgeon Bay canning factories have been established, all of great capacity and all due to his business sagacity. Mr. Landreth came to this country some twenty years ago a poor young man. The magnificent fortune that he won, which an unkind Fate has prevented him from enjoying, had no foundation in an inheritance, but was, or is, the result entirely of his own activity, industry and genius. In his death, Manitowoc has lost a most valuable citizen. Manitowoc County Chronicle, Tues., Apr. 18, 1899 ******** Word arrived here Sun. morning that Albert Landreth died Sat. evening in Florida. The local resident had built a home there in which to spend the winter months. Last Nov. he and his family made the trip down there again and all communications from there indicated everything was fine until the report of his death from malarial fever was received. The deceased was born 04 Feb. 1858 in Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and one can conclude that he was of Pennsylvania Dutch derivation. Mr. Landreth came to Manitowoc in 1875 and established a nursery, then in 1889 he established a factory for canning peas which became nationally known. He built another pea canning plant in Sheboygan in 1893. From these he became a very wealthy man. He is survived by a widow and 3 children. His body was brought here and will be buried this afternoon in the city cemetery. Der Nord Westen, 20 Apr. 1899 ******** From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - (1899) Albert Landreth died at Clearwater, Fla., on Saturday. He had spent the winter there with his family, that being his custom for some years. His death resulted from intermittent fever. His condition was not considered serious by his physicians until near the end. He contracted a cold while on a yacht through becoming drenched by a heavy rain. His body reached here Wednesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. E.G. Nash, Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Canright, Dr. and Mrs. Fraser and Dr. Pritchard met the sorrowing family at Chicago and accompanied them here. Albert Landreth was born in Bristol, Penn., Feb. 1858. He was married in 1880 to Miss Ann Hose and five children were born to them, three of whom are living. Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Apr. 24, 1924
******** Albert Landreth died at Clearwater, Fla., on Saturday. He had spent the winter there with his family, that being his custom for some years. His death resulted from intermittent fever. His condition was not considered serious by his physicians until near the end. He contracted a cold while on a yacht through becoming drenched by a heavy rain. His body reached here Wednesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. E.G. Nash, Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Canright, Dr. and Mrs. Fraser and Dr. Pritchard met the sorrowing family at Chicago and accompanied them here. Albert Landreth was born in Bristol, Penn., February 1858. He was married in 1880 to Miss Anna Hose and five children were born to them, three of whom are living. Mr. Landreth was instinctively a lover of agricultural pursuits, and every line of industrial activity in which he engaged had its origin in the farm. He saw the advantages this section of the state offered by reason of the quality of the peas raised and he began the business of canning peas. The wonderful growth of this business gave proof of his sagacity and excellent management. The peas were of such excellent quality that they became known throughout the United States. He started another canning factory in Sheboygan which rivaled in success the one operated in Manitowoc. At times he had as many as 1,000 pea pickers at work on lands adjacent to the city. Wealth poured in on him but he did not hoard. He enlarged his business, beautified his home and filled his stables with fine horses. He made large donations for worthy objects and dealt liberally with the deserving poor. Money, he valued only for what it would purchase. In store it had not attraction for him. The rapidity with which he made money was equaled by the freedom with which he spent it. His death is a serious blow to the city as he was a man of large plans which he carried out when formed. He was a leader in the sense that his activity stimulated others. The expressions of sorrow heard on every side when his death became known are a tribute to his worth and an acknowledgement of loss. Mr. Landreth has to be viewed in various lights to form a just estimate of him. He had pre-eminent qualities on lines of human activity the presence in one of which would ordinarily preclude its existence in others. But there was no incongruity in the composite picture his character presented. To the business world the indomitable force of the man furnished a striking contrast to the kindliness of his nature which prompted deeds of charity, benevolence and kindly sympathy the number of which but few know. He was liberal without ostentation, sympathetic but not demonstrative and firm while not austere. The many sided character of the man was a surprise to those who knew him. Mr. Landreth is known outside those who knew him intimately, as a businessman who capital to begin with was sagacity, resource, courage and comprehensive grasp. With these qualities he attained a degree of success which gave his business a national reputation. He was so systematic and so thorough in what he did that his vast business seemed to move automatically. He had the rare faculty of being able to dismiss all considerations of business outside of business hours. The apparent ease with which he managed large enterprises was due to a precision mathematical in its nicety and a foresight which was the result of cool deliberation. The details adjusted themselves in harmony with the accuracy of judgment which outlined the general course of procedure. He was ambitious, but it was the ambition of restless enterprise. Wealth had no value for him in the sense of hoarding. His means was the measure of his family's needs and the public hared in his gains. He was never satisfied with present accomplishment though his energy was of the compressed sort which went straight to the object without proclamation. His business had attained national reputation before its extent was known locally. It was centered in him and he carried the burden with that conscious power which scorned demonstrative effort. His business grew with such steady and noiseless application of force that when its dimensions were perceived it was deemed a marvel. He did not follow a path blazed out by others to the goal of success. He was the pioneer in his line and laid the roadbed for success. He was public spirited and there was no public enterprise to which he did not contribute liberally. He was far-seeing and had intuitive perception in business matters. But he was public spirited on lines far more praiseworthy than those over which the commercial instinct presides. His public benefactions were numerous and voluntary. But his aid to deserving individuals of which the public had no knowledge, drew still larger upon his means. More than one person whose means were not sufficient to satisfy their desire for education, have been carried through the higher institutions of learning in the state at the expense of Mr. Landreth. He demanded exact performance of his subordinates, but the reward for services performed exceeded the strictness with which directions had to be followed. He was a broad man in his views, and high character, no matter in what condition of life it appeared, was a passport to his esteem. He loved the beautiful, and his home was a reflection of this sentiment. His family was his life and the comfort of its members his chief care. He regarded life as worth enjoying while life was young and his home had luxuries commensurate with his income. Wealth to him was simply a means of purchasing comfort and assisting the needy and he used it for these purposes. He had the culture of good reading and sincerity. He was a most companionable man, bubbling over with good humor when business was laid aside, and with a keen sense of the ludicrous. He enjoyed grotesque characterization when in the company of intimate friends and could act the boy in the excess of enjoyment and enjoy the relaxation. This was a lovable feature in his character which was revealed to few, but it is among their choicest recollections of him as an index of a nature retaining boyhood impressions and the sunniness of youth devoid of care. His heart was readily touched and his resentment easily provoked if wrong was intended. He had a sympathy for the common people which made him indignant at abuse of power. His was a forceful character, strong in action, vehement in assertion when his rights were assailed, but submitting to reasonable argument or melting to tenderness in the presence of suffering. Manitowoc will miss him, will feel the need of his enterprising spirit and his dominating genius for execution. He will be missed socially by those who knew him through social channels. He will be missed more by those whose knowledge of him had cemented friendship. But the loss to his family has in it the sacredness of grief so deep that it cannot be shared. Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, April 20, 1899 pg. 5 ******** THELANDRETH PROPERTY The will of Albert Landreth was opened on Thursday. It is a document wonderfully clear in its terms and the distribution of the property as bequeathed will be easy under its terms. Dr. A. C. Fraser is named as executor and the confidence the testator had in him is well shown by the authority given him to dispose of the property as his judgment dictates, if it becomes necessary to do so, without asking leave of the court. The bequests made to relatives outside the members of his own family are very liberal and aggregate $11,000. These bequests are mainly to sisters and nieces. The estate is valued at $50,000 and there is life insurance amounting to $40,000 of which $9,000 are payable to Mrs. Landreth. She receives 59 shares of the capital stock of the Albert Landreth Co. and one half the personal property and real estate. She already had in her own right some of the stock, The homestead is likewise hers. The balance of the stock, 240 shares, and half the personal property and real estate are given to Dr. Fraser to hold in trust for the benefit of the three children, and he is authorized to vote the stock at annual meetings and to conduct the business in such manner as his judgment might dictate to make it profitable. The stock is to lie held by him in trust, until the youngest child is 26 years old. Each child is to receive 80 shares and a proportionate share of the other property. The proceeds are to be used to educate and otherwise provide for them. But they are not to come into actual possession of their legacy until they each attain the age of 26. The responsibility thrown upon Dr. Fraser comes as much from the generous confidence of the testator in him as from the magnitude of the trust. As trustee he has a controlling interest in the business. It is his intention to take charge of the financial affairs of the company as well as to exercise general supervision. But the actual management of the business will be attended to by J. T. Brooks. Mr. Landreth's nephew, assisted by the men who in the past, have had charge of departments of the business. Mr. Landreth had rare powers of organization and he educated the heads of the departments of his business to a degree of proficiency in their special lines which made supervision merely nominal and the business ran smoothly because of the perfect adjustment of its parts. He exercised only general supervision holding each subordinate responsible for the special work assigned him. The affairs of the company are in excellent condition and everything is so systematized that all that is necessary is to start the well constructed business machine to running, and it will run as smoothly as if in personal charge of the genius who built it. Dr. Fraser will not give up his practice as it was at first feared he would have to. He is now satisfied that this is wholly unnecessary as the business is firmly established both in reputation and capacity for output. Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, April 27, 1899 pg. 5
********* From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-five Years Ago - (1899) Thoughts At the Funeral of the Late Alfred Landreth We all are on the skirmish line, We hear the bugle calling. And all around us one by one, Our old comrades are falling. But "forward" is the stern command, That gives no time to sorrow. "Close up the ranks and face the foe", Our turn may come tomorrow. In vain we look along the line, For old familiar faces. But they have fallen from the ranks, And more can take their places. But on the battle field of life, There's little time for sorrow. It may be you, it may be me, Whose turn may come tomorrow. And when the summons come to join, the host that's gone before. Now soon the few that love us now, Will thank of us no more. Though we fall, perchance a few, Will drop a tear of sorrow. Their tearful eyes will soon be dry, They'll smile again tomorrow. F.A. Huebner Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., May 1, 1924 ******** The remains of Albert Landreth, accompanied by Mrs. Landreth and the children arrived in the city this afternoon at 4:20 over the Chicago & Northwestern road. They were met at the depot by a large gathering of citizens. Members of the Masonic order to which the deceased formerly belonged, were present in a body and acted as an escort to the remains on the way to the family residence. The funeral service will be held from the house, corner of Park and Ninth streets, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Manitowoc Daily Herald, April 19, 1899 ******* The late Albert Landreth was a member of the Masonic, Modern Woodman and Royal Arcanum lodges and was an active worker in all. He was much interested in the advancement of education and one of his last acts was the presentation of a $500 stereopticon to the North side school. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Apr. 18, 1899 ******* Dr. Reinking who was here to attend the Landreth funeral returned to Sheboygan last night. Manitowoc Daily Herald, April 21, 1899 ******** The north side High School was dismissed yesterday afternoon and the pupils attended the Landreth funeral in a body. Manitowoc Daily Herald, April 21, 1899 ******** Herman Hendrickson, of Green Bay, is in the city to attend the Landreth funeral. Manitowoc Daily Herald, April 20, 1899 ******** [Albert Landreth/bur. 04-16-1899/age 41 yrs./cause: remittend fever] ******** David Landreth & Sons of Philadelphia have begun suit against Albert Landreth of this city for using his own name in the seed business. The presumption is that David Landreth & Sons assume to have a patent on the name which they don't intend to allow any body else to use. It's pretty ??ite to attempt that and the "cat in the meal" is undoubtedly that they are jealous which is a high compliment to Albert Landreth. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, October 7, 1884 P.2 ******** Mr. Albert Landreth, our enterprising young seed dealer, returned from a trip through Minnesota and Dakota, last Friday. He reports the wheat crop in a fine condition. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, July 11, 1882 P. 1 ******** Albert Landreth has on exhibition the vegetables that took the premium at Clark's Mills Fair. The vegetables are among the finest ever exhibited in this county and were raised by Mr. C.W. Butler, at Cato. He also has a dozen different varieties of oats raised on the farm of F.A. Huebner, on exhibition. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, October 10, 1882 P. 1 ********* (The following obituary is for a brother of Albert) MESSAGE TELLS OF DEATH OF HARRY LANDRETH Former Local Resident Dies Suddenly At Los Angeles Many friends of the Landreth family, former residents of this city, will be both pained and shocked to learn of the sudden death of Harry Landreth, brother of Albert Landreth founder of the Landreth Pea Canning company of this city, death having occurred at Los Angeles in a hospital. Decedent who was the last surviving member of the older Landreth family was about 55 years of age and for a number of years past had retired from active business. Messages containing the sad news were conveyed here to Mrs. Anna Hubbard a life long friend of the Landreth family. Death came to Mr. Landreth on Saturday. Funeral will take place at Battle Creek, Mich, where decedent had made his home for a number of years and where other members of the family are at rest in the family plot. Resided in West 15 Years For fifteen years past, Mr. Landreth has made his home in California and while he had business interests there they were mostly of an investment character and required but little of his time. For the past few years he has retired and devoted his energies toward getting some of the finer things out of his remaining years. At the time the Landreth company was started here he was associated with his brother in the formation of the pioneer canning industry of Wisconsin. He also lived at Oconto for a short time where his wife died. Surviving relatives include two nieces Eva of Brooklyn, John of Battle Creek (sic) and Florence. This branch of the Landreth company were Sheboygan residents. Visited Here Last Summer Mr. Landreth visited here only last summer and the visit was the occasion of many little reunions here and at Two Rivers. At that time he was in good health and there was nothing to indicate that the end would come so sudden. It is said the immediate cause of death was an acute attack of heart trouble. Manitowoc Herald News, March 6, 1922 P. 1MADGE LANDRETH DIED. Landreth.-In this city, on Friday Oct. 19, 1888, Madge, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Landreth, aged 3 years and 8 months. Very few who did not hear and who were not greatly shocked by this announcement last Friday that little Madge Landreth was dead. With singular tenderness she had endeared herself to all who ever knew her and when her life was in danger many were the prayers offered for her speedy recovery. But the hopes entertained for several days by many loving hearts, were shattered by a sudden turn in the disease, and on Friday, with the setting of the sun, her sweet pure soul was carried by the angels to join the throng above. "O, not in cruelty not in wrath The reaper came that day; "Twas an angel visited the green earth And took the flower away." It would be difficult to express in words the sorrow felt by all the friends of this grief-stricken home, at the thought that the bright face, upon which they so often gazed with delight, can greet them no more with its winsome smiles; that the voice, which so often entertained them with its sweet tones, is to be silent forever; that the beautiful young form is felled to the ground, extinguishing in the hearts of loving parents, every joy, every hope, every dream. It causes infinite sorrow to feel that with the first of the wintry frosts this young and tender flower should have drooped and died. Who can describe the charm of little Madge, that endeared her to the hearts of all who ever saw her? She was a little queen wherever she went, and men paused in silent admiration when she passed by in her little carriage singing her favorite songs. She was always singing. She was always in that happy state of mind which can express itself best in song. Her feelings were always of such a nature that cheerful singing was inevitable. Yes, even the last days of her life on earth, while her sufferings were intense, she gave way to the natural impulse of her heart and sang her favorite verse: "Jesus love me! this I know For the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong; They are week, but He is strong." Thus wherever she was there was sunshine, there was happiness, there was a cheerfulness which cannot be described. Nothing can reconcile us to the loss of charming litte Madge except the thought that where she now is nothing can mar her felicity, or dim the luster of her joy, or damp the ardor of her song. We remember her sweet, her charming, her sunny nature. We remember all her sweet and cunning words and actions, her many attractions to which no pen can do justice; but we will always remember her best as "sweet little Madge." As such she was known and admired and beloved, as such she is mourned by a host of friends. She had advanced but a little way up the sunny slopes of a bright and promising life when she was stricken down. Her death fell upon her parents with all the force of a first bereavement, and altho' many friends are weeping with them, yet from their home, once so bright, so happy, so sunny, a beautiful light has gone out, and we feel that theirs is a sorrow, a grief which may not be assuaged. And yet" "Live, though life hath deepest sadness, Still it fits thee for the end, And with grief is mingled gladness, Blossoms o'er the thorn-bush bend. Hark! from out the shining portals Comes a gush of spirit song; List, ye pale and sorrowing mortals, Learn to suffer and be strong."

META LANDRETH META STUART LANDRETH-Born July 21, 1888, died January 7, 1892 It would be a very inadequate expression of their feelings to say that the news of the death of sweet little Meta came with a great shock to the many friends of her grief-stricken parents. The truth is that many tender and loving hearts find it impossible to express in words the sorrow they feel, and the sympathy with the sorrowing which wells up within them so abundantly. There are some features about this unutterably sad event which are peculiarly sad. Can the lovely and beautiful home from which this fair flower has been plucked ever be the same again? Is a question which many seek in vain to answer. The first great affliction came upon it three years ago when "sweet little Madge" was taken away. That sorrow has been with the parents ever since, and may never be assuaged. Though they went about their work again as aforetime, yet a heaviness was at their hearts and attended them as a shadow which no light could dispel. To this day it lies down with them at night and rises with them every morning. And now a second bereavement comes to their hearts already so heavily burdened, and no one knows what to say or to do to keep them from breaking under the load. That they should have regarded Meta with special affection and special fondness was but natural. The same charms, the same tender childlike qualities that endeared sweet Madge to the hearts of all who knew her seemed to have been bestowed upon Meta in large measure; and so, as far as that is possible, she filled the place of her little sister in the home and the hearts of the parents. Her bright face, her winsome smiles, her tender voice, her susceptibility to the finer sacred influences, all reminded one of Madge. In endeavoring to describe her qualities nothing better and nothing more adequate could be said than that she was "another Madge." That means that she was sweet, tender, queenly, cheerful, sunny in her nature, excelling in all those characteristics that go to make a perfect child. How singular that both, at about the same age, should have been borne away from the earth to those fairer scenes, where joy and happiness are undimmed, where no pain or suffering can mar their felicity. We will think of them as up there, safe in the arms of the Infinite Love. And so as the parents move on over the way, now so solitary and sad, many things will call up a fresh memory to sudden the new sadness; and yet, the memory, through which their greatest suffering has come, will be sweet in all its bitterness through the thought and the faith which has lifted them up hitherto that none of us--"Can drift Beyond His Love and Care."

KENNETH LANG KENNETH LANG LOSES BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE-DEATH SAD. A brave fight for life was lost by Kenneth Lang, a North Side boy Friday night, when Death claimed him at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lang, 616 Buffalo street. The dead boy was 21 years of age and a victim of that insiduous foe, consumption. Last June, his health failing, he was taken to the sanitarium at Wales where he remained until five weeks ago, returning home when hope of his recovery was abandoned, and for several days past his life had been hanging in the balance. The death of Mr. Lang is pathetically sad and will awaken sympathy for the bereaved family. A young man of bright mind, ambitious and with the promise of a successful career before him, he was popular and respected and his death will be deplored by many who knew him. Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Margaret and Genevieve and one brother Sydney. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from St. Paul's M.E. church.

JOSEPH LANGO WIFE DOUBLY BEREAVED Husband Dies Almost as Child is Buried-A Pitiable Case Scarcely had the little grave containing the cherished form of her infant child been filled with earth before Mrs. Jos. Lango was again called upon to mourn affliction in the death of her husband, which occurred Thursday evening. The circumstances surrounding the home on South Eighteenth street are most pitiable. For a long time the father had been a sufferer, disease slowly but surely sapping away his life. Day by day he has grown weaker, unable to work and only waiting the release death could give. Upon the faithful wife devolved the duty of the care and support of the little family, and most nobly has she met the task, working and planning in her endeavors to make the last days of her husband as comfortable as possible. A few days ago one of the children took ill and soon after died. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon and the same evening the father and husband died. The family is not in the best of circumstances and the home is indeed a place of desolation.

GREGORY F. LAPOTKO MESSSAGES OF ENDEARMENT CAME TOO LATE Perhaps it was co-incidence, a trick of fate to prove that after all we are but pawns of destiny, that brought to the home of Mike Lutz of the Jonas Jansky Clothing company two registered letters containing endearing messages from brothers and sisters in far off Russia this morning a few hours after his father had passed away at the hospital. For fifteen months not a word had been heard from the family in Russia and the worry added to internal ills from which he was a sufferer, hastened the death of Gregory Lapotko, father of Mr. Lutz who had been making his home with him from the last ten years. Born in Russia Born in Russia September 29, 1870, Mr. Lapotko came to the United States in 1913 and came to Manitowoc where his son was located. Then came the war and his son served across with the U.S. troops. Mr. Lapotko's family, a wife, three daughters and two sons were living in Russia where the father had himself served with the Russian army. Here he became an employe of the Aluminum Goods company with whom he remained until his death.

BORRE LARSEN Drowned at Death's Door "Captain Perry Larsen(sic), was born at Larvik, Norway in 1841. He came to America in 1853 and became a sailor. He purchased an interest in the schooner Transit and sailed as her master. He retired but in the fall of 1878 shipped with his friend, Capt. August Worden, just as an accommodation. It was on the schooner Glen Cuyler in December of that year she capsized in Death's Door, near the tip of Door County and Captain Larsen drowned. The brave little widow, left with four children, the youngest about one year old, took in boarders at her home at 517 Chicago St. I remember they were a very devoted family and I can see them yet taking Sunday afternoon walks. The eldest son, Hilbert, was one of the first plumbers in the city ad was very active when the water works was in charge of Colonel Graham."

CHARLES LARSON TREE FELLED HIM, DEAD Charles Larson, 17 Years Old, Met an Untimely End in the Woods Today LIFE LIGHT SNUFFED OUT Lad Employed as Woodchipper Was a Son of John Larson, N. Ninth Street- Inquest Held this Afternoon Upon the threshold of manhood's estate with every prospect of a long and useful life the career of Charles Larson was today brought to an untimely end, death resulting from an accident through which life was crushed from the body by the weight of a falling tree. Larson who was 17 years of age, was employed with a crew of men in chopping wood on the farm of John Owen, three miles north of the city and while engaged in this work met his death. Particulars of the accident are not fully known, an inquest over the remains being held this afternoon by Coroner Meany to whom the report of the sad affair was immediately made. Death resulted almost instantly after the young man was struck by the timber. The unfortunate victim of the accident was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Larson, who reside on north Ninth street and to whom the news proved a terrible shock. The boy has been employed by Julius Becker for some time past and Sunday visited at home departing in the evening for his work. He was a bright youth and was in the enjoyment of excellent health. Born in this city he attended the public schools and was known to young people of the city extensively and had many friends. The father is employed at the shipyards and accompanied Coroner Meany to the inquest. The body will be brought to the city and the stricken home this evening, when arrangements for the funeral will be made. Besides his parents, four brothers and five sisters mourn. Ever is death sad when it comes to the babe yet unconscious of grief or pain-sad when it comes to the man who bows beneath the weight of years and tottering, takes life's last few steps with staff and crutch-but doubly, trebly, sad when the summons comes to one of youth in life's splendid promise, in the full possession of physical health and strength and while all life's shadows still are falling toward the west. Friends weep with the stricken family and though they bow before the power that rules supreme deeply mourn the untimely end of a career that was bright and promising.

LOUISE LARSON (d. 1873) From the Files of the Pilot - Forty-Four Years Ago 1873 DROWNED - Last Friday, a young daughter of Capt. Peter Larson of this city, started to cross Main Street bridge. The draw was open at the time, a fact which it appears she did not notice. She walked along the bridge, looking at something over her shoulder and walked straight on and off the bridge into the river. All efforts to rescue her were fruitless. Her body was recovered the same evening and her funeral took place Sunday. No one on the bridge suspected that she was aware of the draw being open and of course thought she would stop when she came to the open space, therefore, were not prepared for the accident. Her sorrowing parents have the sympathies of the entire community.

WALTER O. LAUFS AWAY FROM HOME AND LOVED ONES Walter Laufs, who Came Here from Germany with Henry Vits is Dead WAS BUT 25 YEARS OLD, WAS TO RETURN SOON. Away from home and loved ones, in a strange land and in the prime of young manhood, Walter Laufs, a young man who came here from Germany, returning with Henry Vits when the latter came back from his trip abroad, is dead at the hospital, the end coming suddenly after an attack of acute appendicitis. Laufs, who is a nephew of Mr. Vits had intended to return to his native land after a short stay in this country, had been employed at the Aluminum factory and his demise is particularly pathetic in view of the fact that he was away from his home, the end having come as suddenly as to preclude the possibility of apprising his family of the sickness. Mr. Vits has cabled the news of his death. He will be buried here. The decedent was taken suddenly ill on Thursday and a physician summoned diagnosed his case as acute appendicitis, the ravages of the disease having been so far along as to prevent an operation and his death was inevitable, and came on Saturday. He made friends easily while at the factory and was very popular with the company. To Mr. Vits will be designated the sad duty of writing the particulars to a bereaved mother and several brothers and sisters who had been expecting his safe return home again after a visit to America. The decedent was 25 years of age. The funeral will be held from the German Reformed church today, with interment at Evergreen, the young man having been a communicant of that denomination. Manitowoc Daily Herald, February 15, 1909 P. 1 ******** Walter Laufs, who came here from Germany last fall with Henry Vits and who since then has been working at the aluminum ware factory, fell ill last week with appendicitis. He was quickly taken to Holy Family Hospital where it was found that the illness was so advanced that an operation would not help, and he died Saturday. Mr. Laufs, a nephew of Henry Vits, had not intended to remain in this country, but rather to get to know the people and the nation and then go back to his homeland. Now his grave is here. He was 25 years old. Mr. Vits telegraphed the sad news to the boy's parents in Germany. His funeral here was conducted Monday from the German Reformed Church. Der Nord Westen, 18 Feb. 1909 ******* Taken suddenly with an attack of appendicitis last Thursday Walter Laufs died at the Holy Family hospital Saturday evening, his condition prohibiting an operation. Mr. Laufs was a skilled workman and had been employed at the aluminum factory since his arrival from Germany about a year ago. Decedent was 25 years of age and of an engaging personality and quick intelligence. His employers and friends had predicted a bright future for him. His sudden taking off far from his home has caused sincere regret among his relatives and friends. A mother and several brothers and sisters survive in Germany. The funeral was held Monday from the German Reformed church. Interment was at Evergreen cemetery. Manitowoc Pilot, February 18, 1909 ******* [Walter Otto Laufs/bur. 02-14-1909/cause: appendicitis]
