From Der Nord Westen, 13 Feb. 1908: 
90-year old Franz Luebke, who lived with his son Frank on the highway to 
Two Rivers, died Friday afternoon of a heart attack he suffered shortly 
after lunch. Medical attention was called, but there was nothing more to 
be done. The old gentlemen relished his lunch, filled his pipe and went 
out into the yard. As he was returning to the house he sank dead to the 
ground.

CARL LUEBKE  (d. 1925)

CARL LUEBKE VICTIM OF A STROKE
SHOE DEALER FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM TODAY
Business Man Stricken During Night, Found by Employe
A victim of apoplexy, Carl Luebke, veteran shoe dealer of the city and member 
of the firm of Luebke & Kellner, died alone in the rooms he occupied on Franklin 
street sometime Sunday night, the dead body being found by Orley Scherer, an 
employe of the store when he visited Mr. Luebke's rooms this morning when his 
employer failed to appear at the store. Mr. Luebke was seated on a couch, fully 
dressed, with lights in the room turned on and the bed undisturbed. Indicating 
that the end came as he was preparing to retire Sunday night.
Coroner Kemper, who examined the body said that death had been due to appoplexy 
and that no inquest would be held. Mr. Luebke's body was found shortly after 
9 o'clock this morning.
Was 78 Years Old
Mr. Luebke had not been seriously ill and had been at his store all day Saturday 
and Sunday evening and visited with George Schuette at Mr. Schuette's rooms until 
7 o'clock. He was in the habit of retiring early and it is presumed that the 
stroke came early Sunday night after his return to his rooms. Despite his age of 
78, Mr. Luebke was active and in apparent health, although recently he had told 
friends that he had not been feeling as well as usual. However, there was no 
indication that he was failing and his death came as a shock to the city.
Born in Germany
Born in Germany, Mr. Luebke came to Manitowoc many years ago and was employed in 
the old Haukohl shoe store and twenty-five years ago took over the business and 
had since been identified with it. In 1911 he formed a partnership with E.J. 
Kellner and the store had been in the Wood block since that time.
In 1923 Mr. Luebke dispersed of his interest in the firm to Mr. Kellner under a 
contract that the firm name was not to be changed during his life time and that 
he was to be continued in the employ of Mr. Kellner for life.
Mr. Luebke was born June 26, 1848 in Germany. So far as known he has no relatives 
in the United States, but members of the family reside in Germany and South 
America. During his residence here he had been active in German singing societies 
and was a member of several organizations in which he found his chief interest. 
He had formed friendships in his early life here which he retained and although 
of a retiring and quiet disposition he was widely known because of his business 
associations.
The body of Mr. Luebke was taken to the Frazier & Shimek undertaking rooms. 
Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

TRACE LUEBKE REALATIVES IN GERMANY
LOCATE HEIRS OF SHOE MAN WHO DIED HERE
Estate of $7,000 Left by Luebke to Cause a Contest
Carl Luebke, senior member of the firm of Luebke & Kellner, local shoe merchants, 
who died very suddenly in his rooms two months ago, came from a large family and 
has a number of relatives in Germany information received in a letter from an 
attorney for a brother to whom a letter of inquiry was addressed. Mr. Luebke was 
never married, according to the report received here and his parents have been 
dead for many years. A brother and two sisters are also dead but both have 
children living.
The letter gives the following detained information regarding the Luebke family.
Brothers and sisters:
Fritz Luebke, at Wulfsahl, who is dead, leaving two daughters, one married and 
residing in Hamburg and the other unmarried and present whereabouts unknown.
Christian Luebke, my client, who is conducting a railway restaurant in Parchium.
Ludwig Luebke, retired, residing at Ploen.
Heinrich Luebke, quary officer at Hamburg.
Mrs. Louis Schultz at Pampin, who is dead, leaving three children, all landowners, 
Mrs. Hacker at Pampin, Mrs. Rusch at Porep and Mrs. Schultz at Niehusen.
One sister of the deceased, Mrs. Sophi Timm, died at Hamburg, leaving no children.
Advise Consul of Suit
The German counsul at Chicago has been advised of the letter rceived from Germany 
and of the filing of a claim of $3,310 against the estate by Edward Kellner, of 
this city. Mr. Kellner's claim was filed following an inspection of the firm's 
books. According to a partnership agreement drawn up the amount of salary of each 
partner was specified and it appears from the records that Mr. Luebke drew various 
sums in addition to the amount agreed upon. Mr. Kellner seeks to recover half of 
that amount. In additon he seeks to recover approxiamtely half of the entire estate 
on the presumption that the accumulation was realized from profits taken from the 
business. The claim will be contested, it is said, and whether Mr. Kellner will be 
able to prove his contention remains to be seen. Further action in the matter 
awaits word from the consul at Chicago. Attorney Harry Kelley is handling the 
estate in his capacity as public administrator.

HENRY LUECHS

Henry Lueh, a Painter, Seriously Hurt at Clarks Mills
Falling, head first down a stairway of more than thirty steps, Henry Leuh, a 
stranger, employed as a painter at Clarks Mills sustained injuries Monday 
night, which may result in his death. Leuh, is at the Holy Family hospital in 
this city and is being cared for by two physicians who performed an operation 
and say that there is a chance of recovery. Leuh had his skull fractured and 
suffered other severe injuries about the head and shoulders.
Leuh, a man of 45, met with injury shortly after 10 o'clock Monday night 
and was brought here this morning. He had been employed by Anton Denk, 
a saloon man and had retired in an upstairs room over the Denk saloon at 
9:30. A short time later a commotion was heard and on investigation, 
Mr. Denk and others found Leuh unconscious at the foot of the stairway, 
bleeding profusely and badly hurt. There is some indication that the fall 
was not result of an accident but this is not believed. Leuh has been at 
Clarks Mills for some time working about the village as a painter but 
little is known of his history. He was not intoxicated at the time of the 
accident and it is not known how it occurred. He may recover. 
Manitowoc Daily Herald - Tues., Nov. 13, 1906  
*****
A severely injured man, whose name has been given variously as 
Henry Roch or Henry Lueh, was brought here from Clarks Mills on 
Tuesday morning and admitted to Holy Family Hospital. He was 
unconscious and unable to speak, but it is said that he has been 
working as a house painter in Clarks Mills for some time. Most 
recently he was working on the store of Anton Denk's in Clarks 
Mills, giving it a new coat of paint. He also lived there. He went 
up to his quarters Monday evening about 9:30, which is in the upper 
part of the building, but later was found bloody and unconscious
lying at the foot of the steps. 
(Much editorial speculation concerning the possible cause.) When 
examined by the doctors it was found that he had a fractured skull 
and a broken cheekbone…. 
Der Nord Westen, 15 Nov. 1906
*****
Henry Rotch(sic), the house painter about whom we reported last week as 
being taken to the hospital from Clarks Mills with a fractured skull 
and cheekbone, has died of his injuries. Before his death he regained 
consciousness and told Dr. Luhmann that in the pitch dark he had fallen 
down the stairs, thus all speculation was ended. Because Rotch could 
not name any relative, his body was buried at the expense of the county.

Elmer H. Luedtke, 39, of 1034 South 23rd street, member of a North Western road 
repair crew, plunged to his death from a railroad trestle across the river at 
Sheboygan shortly after 10 o'clock this morning.
He was struck by a railroad tie being swung out over the trestle from a small

4-inch ice and was recovered by crews from the Sheboygan fire department and 
police station.
Coroner Wesley Van Zanten, after an examination of the body, said Luedtke's death 
was probably due to a broken neck and not drowning.
Wife Notified Here 
Mr. Luedtke's wife, Della, Employed as a welder at the Manitowoc Ship Building 
company, was notified of her husband's death by Sergeant William McConnell, after 
word came over the Sheboygan police radio of the accident. She left this afternoon

crew of seven men, which included Foreman Paul Paulson, Karl Kono, Albert Neuman, 
Otto Riske, all of this city, Fred Schiebler of Neenah and Emory Klatt of Sheboygan. 
Repairs to ties on a northwestern road trestle across the river were being made. 
Other members of the crew told the coroner that as the crane swung around with the 
tie they saw it was going to strike Luedtke and yelled a warning, but before he 
could scamper to safety the swinging tie struck him, knocking him from the trestle 
to the ice below. After the body was recovered the watch in Luedtke's pocket was 
found to have stopped at 10:12 o'clock.
Mr. Luedtke has been employed by the railroad for a number of years. He married Miss 
Della Komzak in 1934. She survives with a son Carl, aged 9, four brothers, Leroy and 
Raymond of Green Bay, Erwin and Clarence of this city; and a sister, Mrs. Clarence

Widow Luhr died last Fri. from a heart attack.
Der Nord Westen, 3 Nov. 1881
*******
Last Thursday morning as Mrs. Luehr was walking along Washington street she 
was seen to suddenly sink to the ground. When the person who saw her fall 
reached the spot where she lit, it was discovered that she was dead, death 
resulting from heart disease. It will be remembered that her husband was 
killed on Washington street last April by being crushed between two wagons.

*******
Sudden Death.
Thursday morning about 8 o'clock, Mrs. Luehr left the house of her son-in-law, 
where she resides, to attend to some business down town. She had proceeded 
about two blocks when she suddenly dropped down in a faint and in few minutes 
expired.
She was the widow of Mr. Luehr, the farmer who was so suddenly killed by a run 
away team on Washington street last winter. It is curious coincidence that in 
the case of both husband and wife, the brittle thread of life was broken without 
a moment's warning.

Wide sorrow greeted the news Monday afternoon that Miss Anna Lueps had died.
Miss Lueps was born 06 February 1860, daughter of the late Jacob Lueps, one 
of the earliest pioneers of Manitowoc. She attended the local schools and 
when she was grown worked several years as a teacher here and in Kiel. She 
suffered with a slow illness for a long time and made a trip to Germany last 
year to consult with specialists, but even those doctors were unable to help 
her, so she came back to her hometown. A short while ago the illness took a 
downturn… and her pain eventually was so great that one must consider her death 
as a release. Miss Lueps was an active and faithful member of Cilo Club and of 
the Ladies Aid Society. She is survived by a brother, Wm. G. Lueps, Asst. Inland 
Revenue Collector here, and 3 sisters -Misses Clausine and Johanne here, and Mrs. 
Heins in Wittenberg, Wisconsin. The funeral will be held this afternoon at the 
city cemetery.

one brother, William G. and three sisters Mrs. Heins of Wittenberg and 
Misses Johans and Gesine of this city. The decedent was a woman whose 
many kind deeds and charity were well known though she was unostentatious 
in her giving and those who knew her best will mourn her as a loved one. 
Miss Leups was born in this city and attended the city schools, later 
adopting the teaching profession here and at Kiel. She was a member of 
the Clio Club and of the Ladies Aid society and was active in the work 
of both. A year ago Miss Leups visited Europe remaining abroad for 
several months. The funeral will be held on Thursday afternoon from

JOHANNA LUEPS

DIES SUDDENLY
MISS JOHANNA LUEPS (Photo)
Well known social and charity worker in Manitowoc and custodian of
government weather records here for 50 years, who died suddenly this
morning at the home.
KEPT WEATHER RECORDS HERE OVER 50 YEARS
Heart Attack This Morning Claims Charity Worker, Beloved Citizen
Miss Johanna Lueps, official government weather recorder in Manitowoc
for more than half a century, died suddenly this morning at the home,
1213 South Ninth street. She was 76 years of age.
Miss Lueps had enjoyed the best of health the past few years and her
sudden demise was a shock to her host of friends. She planned to 
attend a meeting of the Clio club Friday afternoon, but when it was
postponed she went down town on a shopping trip. Last evening she
visited with a friend on the south side and returned to her home in
the early evening.
Arising this morning she was stricken with a heart attack. She called
the maid who went to her aid, but before a physician could be summoned
she was dead.
The activities of Miss Lueps extended from the time that she gave up
teaching in the county schools to take up her residence here. She was
one of the organizers of the South Side Ladies Aid society, serving
as secretary for a number of years and held the office of president
of the society for 20 years until she retired from active direction
of the society in February, 1932.
Born in 1857
The deceased was born in this city September 13, 1857, the daughter
of Jacob and Catherine Lueps, pioneers of Manitowoc. She was educated
in the public schools of the city and in early life took up the 
teaching profession. She taught schools at Kiel and at Four Corners.
Miss Lueps early turned to social and charitable work among the needy
of the community.
It was 75 years ago that the late Jacob Lueps was prevailed on by the
weather bureau officials at Milwaukee to take the official weather
records for this city. There was no remuneration for this painstaking
task but he consented to handle the records. He was assisted by his
wife and children.
With the passing of her father, Miss Lueps over 50 years ago took over
the keeping of the weather bureau records. This task she continued to
handle and her data was so well tabulated and catalogued that instant
data on weather was
(continued on page 5)
available quickly when compilations were sought.
Organization of the south Side Ladies Aid society was brought about
through the need of funds to aid needy families on the south side.
Entertainments of various kinds were arranged, which provided for
Christmas charities to many scores of families. The deceased was elected
the first secretary of the society and after five years she was elected
president.
Valuable Aid
When the mothers pension law became operative in Manitowoc several years
ago, Miss Lueps was named on the committee to cooperate with County 
Judge Chloupek in the administering of the law. Of a sympathetic and
kindly nature, Miss Lueps gave valuable aid in administering the law
and investigating families seeking aid under its provisions.
Although not one of the charter members, Miss Lueps joined the Clio club,
a literary group here, in the early years of its organization and had 
been active in its functions.
Despite her many other activities, the deceased found time to raise a
family of four children belonging to her sister, Mrs. Sophia Lueps
Klingholz, who died when the children were small. She took the children
into her home and cared for them until they grew up. In later years she
also cared for her grandniece, Miss Marie Richardson, who until recently
made her home here but who is now located at Madison.
Survivors are a sister, Mrs. Emma Heins, of Aberdeen, South Dakota, and
a number of nieces and nephews. A brother, William G. Lueps died in
October.
Funeral services for Miss Lueps will be held Monday at two p.m. with
interment at Evergreen cemetery.

WILLIAM G. LUEPS

William Lueps Well Known Resident Dies
PROMINENT IN POLITICS AND LOCAL AFFAIRS
Lover of Horses; Imported First Holsteins And As Pigeon Fancier Won 
Many Prizes Here And In the State
William G. Lueps, 80, (Photo) lifelong resident of Manitowoc, former 
government internal revenue collector, attorney, collector, and county 
official, died Saturday evening at the home, 863 North Tenth street. 
He had been in failing health since last March when he injured his leg 
in a fall on a slippery walk.
Managing the estate of his father, the late Jacob Lueps for years, the 
deceased took an active interest in horses and blooded stock. He gained 
the distinction of being the first to introduce blooded Holstein-Friesian 
cattle into Manitowoc county in the '80's.
Funeral services for Mr. Lueps will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the 
Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home, with interment at Evergreen 
cemetery.
Born in Manitowoc, August 14, 1853, the son of the late Jacob and 
Katherine Lueps, the deceased spent his entire life in this city. 
Educated in the local schools he entered Lawrence college, at Appleton 
and after graduating from there took up the study of law in the law 
offices of H.G. and Will Turner in this city. Later he was admitted to 
the bar.
Gives Up The Law
Death of Jacob Lueps, father of the deceased in 1876 threw the burden 
of administering the Lueps estate of over 200 acres, located just west 
of the city limits back of the present Holy Family hospital, on the 
shoulders of William Lueps. He developed this property by the addition 
of more land along the river and gave up all thought of law practice to 
take charge of the estate.
It was in the late eighties that Mr. Lueps was told by a friend of the 
supremacy of Holstein-Friesian cattle and journeyed to northern Illinois 
where he purchased some of the blooded stock and brought them back to 
Manitwooc county. It was the first of this breed of cattle to be brought 
here. Mr. Lueps was also a great lover of horses and owned a large stable 
and in addition was a pigeon fancier and showed his birds at many county 
shows.
Held County Offices
For years Mr. Lueps represented the town of Manitowoc in several town 
offices and was also elected chairman of the town, serving for a number 
of terms on the county board of supervisors. He also took a great interest 
in the county fair and for many years served on the fair board.
In 1898 he was appointed to the post of government internal revenue 
collector in Manitowoc and during the years that he held the post 
maintained offices in the postoffice here. In later years he engaged in 
the insurance and collection business which he continued until a few months 
ago.
Politically Mr. Lueps was always a republican and was prominent in county 
conferences of that party in the long span of years that he was active 
in public life. He was also one of the early members of the Freier 
Saengerbund singing society and was prominent in the participation of the 
golden jubilee of that pioneer singing group a number of years ago. He was 
also a member of the Royal League.
Surviving Family
The deceased was married in 1883 to Miss Pauline Krieger of Kiel, who 
survives him with two sons, Edward of Milwaukee and Otto of this city, a 
daughter Edna, city, and two sisters, Miss Johanna Leups, city and Mrs. 
W.G. Heins, Madison, Wis.
The remains may be viewed at the Wattawa Urbanek and Schlei funeral home 
up to the hour of the funeral Tuesday afternoon.
