Alfred Manheimer, of this city, was the victim of a railway accident at Menominee, 
this state, Thursday night and is at the hospital in that city as the result of 
injuries, said to be serious. News of the accident reached here in a dispatch 
summoning Mrs. Manheimer to Menominee to attend her husband and she departed 
Thursday night. If it is possible, Mr. Manheimer will be brought to his home in

was rundown by an engine on the C & NW Company track at Menominee. He was walking 
on the track on his way to the station and being somewhat deaf, failed to hear the 
approach of the train. One report is that he was struck by a freight train, several 
cars of which passed over his body and that his injuries may prove fatal, but this 
is not confirmed.
Mr. Manheimer is a cigar manufacturer and has been engaged in business in this city 
for many years. He travels extensively, selling his own goods and is absent from the 
city much of the time. He is about 55 years of age and resides at 636 N. Fifth Street,

MAY LOSE ONE FOOT
Alfred Manheimer May Be Crippled by Recent Accident
Loss of one foot may be the outcome of the accident of which Alfred Manheimer, the 
Manitowoc cigar manufacturer was the victim at Menominee on Thursday night, the foot 
being so badly crushed at the ankle that there is fear that it cannot be saved. Mrs. 
Manheimer, who was called to Menominee, has returned and was told that her husband 
could not be moved for some time, probably four or five weeks. In addition to the 
crushed foot, Manheimer had two ribs broken and his face badly bruised. Mrs. Manheimer 
was unable to learn the details of the accident, there being several reports as to the 
manner in which it happened. It is believed however, that Mr. Manheimer slipped while 
walking at the side of the track when he attempted to get out of the way of the train. 
His condition is as encouraging as could be hoped for.

(A great deal of space in this issue is devoted to the gunshot suicide of County 
Clerk Fred Maresh on Mon., an event so newsworthy it would be covered in equal or 
greater detail in the English press.)
Der Nord Westen, 25 May 1899

Maresch Was Insane 
Manitowoc's County Clerk Made Preparations for His Death
Manitowoc, Wis., May 23.-
Fred Maresch, county clerk, who yesterday afternoon shot himself in the head
and died instantly, was apparently insane. He left his wife at the court
house and bade good by to her and his friends. He then hired a rig and drove
to his mother-in-law's and said good by to her. From there he drove home and
left the horse tied in front of the house. He sent the servant to the office
to tell his wife that he was sick. She came home at once only to find his
lifeless body stretched on the floor with a bullet hole in the right temple.
He had undressed and put on a clean suit of underwear, clean socks and a 
night robe.
A lady who lives downstairs was sitting in a room almost underneath him, but
did not hear the shot. No letters were left to explain his actions. A post
mortem examination was made and the physicians stated that the brain was
diseased and that it was a clear case of insanity.
Fred Maresch was 29 years of age and married. He leaves a widow and one child,
a boy 5 years old. He was a son of Wenzel Maresch of this city, a retired
farmer of means. The deceased came to Manitowoc several years ago. When the
Second Wisconsin regiment went to Porto Rico Maresch accompanied them, holding
the rank of lieutenant. A siege of typhoid fever which followed his return
from the Porto Rican campaign is said to be the direct cause of his mental
trouble.
The Milwaukee Journal, May 23, 1899, pg. 8, col C

FRED MARESH
The city was shocked last Monday noon to learn that County Clerk Fred Maresh had shot himself at his home on Marshall street. He had been at his office during the morning, and had later come down town where he called on his partner, Adolph Rechcygl, and bade him good bye. He seemed to lie under an intense nervous strain, and Mr. Rechcygl thought he was ill, but had no idea he was meditating suicide. He also called on Jos. Willott Jr. and on a few other friends, taking leave of each as if he were intending to go away permanently. He then took a carriage from a livery stable and drove to the home of his wife's parents, bidding them farewell and going immediately to his own residence. His wife was at the county clerk's office in the court house, where she had been assisting him in some of the clerical work. He sent the servant to bring his wife home, and in her absence went to his room, partially undressed, and then deliberately shot himself through the front part of the head. The weapon used was a 82-calibre revolver that he had purchased the same morning. Death must have been instantaneous, as the bullet passed directly through the brain and lodged just under the skull. 
Fred Maresch was the son of Wenzel Maresch, who for many years managed a farm and country hotel at French Creek. There Fred was born, about twenty nine years ago, and there he lived until he came to Manitowoc to attend school. After leaving school he became a salesman in Barnes, Mendlik & Mulholland's store, where he remained until 1891. In that year he and Adolph Rechcygl opened the clothing and furnishing goods store on ths corner of Eighth and Buffalo streets, where they have since been continuously. Mr. Maresch was connected for some years with the Rankin Guards, and accompanied them when they were mustered into the United States service last year as Co. H. 2nd Wis. Volunteers. He was on the noncommissioned staff of the regiment as sergeant-major. The hardships of camp life told on him, and when he returned home in the early fall his nerves were badly unstrung. The political campaign following, in which he ran for county clerk, still farther broke him down. Since January he has conducted his office business with care, though he was on the verge of nervous prostration. It is supposed that the strain unbalanced his mind, and that the approaching meeting of the county board, with the consequent increase in the duties that were already overtaxing his strength, caused him to end his distress by self-destruction. It is a sad and untimely ending to a life only well begun.

The funeral of Fred Maresh Wednesday was attended by the military organizations of the city, the county board, the Bohemian fraternal society to which Mr. Maresh had belonged, and the members of the Royal League.
Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, May 25, 1899 pg. 7
********
The account of Fred Maresh's death in last week's Pilot was erroneous in one respect. It stated that he called upon his wife's parents and bad them goodbye. It should have read that he went to see his won parents. The statement as originally written might have conveyed the impression the Mr. Maresh purposely omitted seeing his parents for some reason. This was not the case, his relations with them being always most friendly.

After being admitted he remained with his brother about a year when he moved to Neenah where he engaged  in the practice of his profession and remained till the time of his death.

J.D. Markham is Called by Death
Pioneer of County Bar & Widely Known in State
Succumbs to Destroyer
CAME TO CITY IN 1856
Identified With Many Important Affairs of County -- Served as District Attorney in First Trial of White Man for Murder
Announcement of the death of Hon. John D. Markham which occurred early this morning, will bring a pang of sorrow to the hearts of many especially to the pioneer residents who knew him in the prime of his busy life.
John D. Markham, son of Nathan B. and Susan Markham was born at Wilmington, Essex County, N.Y., April 23rd, 1828. His early education was received at the district school at that place. His father at that early period was engaged in the business of smelting iron, owning and operating a large water power furnace and for a time was an iron bloomer. Failing health caused him to abandon the business and he determined to enter the legal profession. As a preliminary step he attended an academy at Elizabethtown, N.Y., and entered the law office of Kellogg & Hale, a famous law firm located at Elizabethtown, N.Y., and pursued the study of his chosen profession with that energy and industry which was a marked feature of his character. The senior member of the firm was for m any years, a member of Congress for the district while Mr. Hale was noted as one of the ablest lawyers of his time in the great state of N.Y. Their office was a meeting place for many of the leading men of that time and Mr. Markham was brought into contact with many strong characters, some of whom became great national figures. Among these was John Brown of abolition fame, who was a frequent caller at the office and who had many familiar talks with the young law student. He also frequently met the famous Judge Esck Cowen and other great lawyers. The environment was well calculated to produce and build up a strong and manly character and upon such a nature as that of Mr. Markham's, it had its full effect. While yet a student in this office he assisted in the preparation and trial of the famous English Landlord and Tenant cases referred to and made famous by James Fennimore Cooper in his novel, "The Redskins".
Soon after being admitted to the Bar, Mr. Markham came West seeking a location first at Milwaukee and then came here by state, arriving in May, 1856. (photo). He immediately opened an office and almost at once had an extensive and lucrative practice. As soon as he was fairly established, he went back East for his promised wife. He was married Oct. 23rd, 1856 to Mary Burt of Jay, Essex County, N.Y., and at once came back to his work. Ever since that time he has been identified with the interests of the city and county and for many years thereafter his life was an extremely busy one. 
Mr. Markham never sought public office and was never a candidate for any official position outside of his profession but was elected district attorney of the county, serving during the years, 1859-1862 and was engaged in many important trials, notably the first trials of white men for murder in this county. The Burkhart - John  -- next line illegible -- and the Gage-Packard, the Smoke-Schrier and later the Hogan murder trial. He was an ardent admirer of President Lincoln and during Civil War made many speeches in different portions of the county and gave much time, effort and money to assist in raising men for the army. He was also identified with all efforts to promote the growth and prosperity of the city of his adoption. He was employed by the Village of Manitowoc to visit Washington in its interest during several sessions of Congress and was largely instrumental in procuring the first appropriation to build the present splendid harbor.  He was genial and loved company, was a liberal entertainer and his hearty laugh has been and will be missed at many social gatherings. Essentially a self made man, his narration of his early struggles to uplift himself was an inspiration to the young men he loved to have around him. His office was never without a group of young students, preparing for the law and his words of counsel and his ideals of the ethics of his profession were to them a source of strength when they entered their professional life. Mr. Markham is survived by his three children, Etta S. Briggs, wife of Mr. J.P. Briggs of Wausau, Wis., his sons, Herbert L. and Robert H. Markham, lawyers of this city. Of the family of ten children to which he belonged, but three now survive, his brother, Ex-governor H.H. Markham of Pasadena, Cal., George C. Markham of Milwaukee, Wis., and his sister, Mrs. Perley B. Mott of Benzonia, Mich. The funeral announcement will appear later.

From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - 1906
The funeral of John D. Markham who passed away last Thursday morning at the old 
homestead on North Fifth Street after a brief illness due to the infirmities of 
age, was held Sunday afternoon from the residence, Rev. Potter officiating. Mr. 
Markham had been a resident of the city for fifty years. He was a son of Nathan B. 
and Susan Markham. He was born at Wilmington, Essex County, New York State, 
April 23, 1828. He received his early education in the district school at his 
native place. His father was engaged in the business of smelting iron, owning and 
operating a large water power furnace and forge and with him Mr. Markham learned 
the trade.
Failing health caused him to quit the business and he decided to prepare himself 
for the profession of the law. With this end in view, he entered an academy at 
Elizabeth, New York. Later he taught school for several years in that part of the 
state, after which he entered the law offices of Kellogg & Hale, the leading law 
firm of Elizabethtown. He progressed rapidly in his studies. Soon after Markham's 
admission to the bar, he came west to seek a location to practice his chosen 
profession. He first went to Milwaukee, making the trip by boat. A few weeks later 
he came to Manitowoc by stage. He arrived here in May, 1856. He opened an office 
and soon found himself established in a lucrative practice. Several months later 
he returned to the east for his affianced wife, Mary Burt of Jay, Essex County, 
New York. They were married October 23, 1856 and the young couple came immediately 
to the home the groom had provided in Manitowoc. He was a man whose ideals and line 
of action reflected honor on his profession.
His office was frequented and his advice eagerly sought by young men preparing for 
the legal profession. Mr. Markham is survived by three children, Herbert L. and 
Robert H. Markham, leading lawyers of this city and Etta S. Brigg, wife of Mr. J. F. 
Briggs of Wausau, Wisc.

J.D. Markham was born at Wilmington, Essex county, New York, April 23, 1828. He
studied law in the offices of Kellog & Hale, Elizabethtown, New York, and was
admitted to practice July 25, 1855. He came to Manitowoc in the early summer of
1856 and was enrolled in the local bar on motion of E. Fox Cooke September 22
following.
The New York code of practice was adopted in this state the very next month and
this gave him a great advantage over the old common law practitioners. He speedily
built up a very large practice, which extended over a large part of northern
Wisconsin.
He was unquestionable the ablest nisi prius lawyer in this portion of the state
when in his prime. It is not too much to say that for over thirty years he was
the unquestioned leader of the Manitowoc bar.
He was a lawyer before all other things and suffered nothing to interfere with
his professional work. He never sought or held any other office than that of 
district attorney, which he held from 1859 to 1863. He died at Manitowoc, November 8,
1906.

Mr. Markham came to this city when still a young man and started to carve out his 
career in this pioneer village. After he had secured a firm foothold here, he 
returned to New York, was married and brought his young bride here to share his 
joys and sorrows with him. They first occupied a part of the old Torrison Homestead 
at the corner of York and Fifth Streets, Mr. and Mrs. O. Torrison having the other 
part.
Two sons, Robert and Herbert and one daughter, Mrs. J. P. Briggs of Wausau survive 
her, all of whom were born in this city. A telegram was received this afternoon 
stating that Mrs. Briggs was sick and it is feared she will not be able to be here 
to attend the funeral. Definite arrangements have not yet been made for the funeral 
service. They will probably be held on Saturday. More particulars will be given 
later in the HERALD.

Mrs. J. D. Markham of this city died Wednesday, January 11. She has been in poor 
health for the past year and though her death came unexpectedly, her ultimate 
recovery was hardly looked for by her friends. Her maiden name was Mary Burtt(sic) 
and she was born in Essex County, New York, May 10, 1827. She was married to J. D. 
Markham in 1856 and immediately came to Manitowoc, Mr. Markham having established 
himself in practice here the preceding year. Three children were born to them, 
H. L. Markham and R.H. Markham of this city and Mrs. J. P. Briggs of Wausau.
Mrs. Markham saw Manitowoc grow to its present dimensions from a small beginning. 
She did well the duties imposed upon her by maternity and earned the highest tribute 
which can be paid a woman, that of being a devoted wife and a loving mother. Her 
neighborly traits live in the memory of those on whose behalf they were manifested. 
Her home was always a pleasant one to which her kindly greeting was no small 
contribution. She was always kind, considerate and tactful and leaves for her friends 
to cherish many pleasing recollections of her. Her funeral takes place on Saturday 
next at 2 pm.

NATHAN B. MARKHAM

MARKHAM-At his residence in the Town of Manitowoc, Wis., January 22, 1882, at 
six o'clock a.m., NATHAN B. MARKHAM, aged 85 years and nine months.
Nathan B. Markham died at six o'clock Sunday morning at his home in the town 
of Manitowoc, just on the outskirts of our city in the eighty-sixth year of 
his age.
For the last five months he had been a sufferer, first from loss of action of
the stomach, but during his last days from paralysis.
Mr. Markham was born in Pittsford, Vt,. April 27th, 1796. He was therefore nearly 
86 years old at the time of his death. His father emigrated to Wilmington, Essex 
county, New York in 1801, where Mr. Markham has since resided until he came to 
this city about eleven years ago.
He belonged to the early pioneers of Northern New York: Was a large, athletic, 
hardy man and although he had little benefit from schools, he was all his life 
a student, and was well versed in all the business and political events of the 
times in which he lived. He became an active member of the Free Masons in 1828 
and has at all times been highly attached to the order.
He was married on the 10th of May 1837 to Miss Susan McLeod at Wilmington, Essex 
county, New York, who now survives him. His family consisted of six sons and four 
daughters, he educated four of his sons for the law, and two for merchants, and 
with the aid of his estimable wife, reared and educated all his children in the 
most commendable manner. Four sons and three daughters survive him.
Immediately after marriage he engaged extensively in the manufacturing of Iron 
and Lumber on the AuSable river in Essex county and continued in said business 
for over 40 years. During his residence in New York, he held the office of 
Magistrate for 18 consecutive years and was several times chosen chairman of his 
town and various other offices, and at all times commanded the confidence, love 
and respect of all who had the benefit of his acquaintance.
He was not inclined to change friends and was not easy to get acquainted, but 
among his neighbors his word was as good as his bone(sic), and his habits were 
without a blemish.
No father could be more respected and loved than he was by his children, and no 
earthly home could surpass life for contentment and happiness, and through all 
his married life and through all the vicissitudes of life, his love of home, wife 
and children has grown stronger and brighter and with a faith in the Great Architect 
of his being which did not fail him until he approached that other home whose maker 
and builder is God.
He was buried on Tuesday, the funeral be in charge of the Masons who accorded to 
their deceased brother all the honors his exemplary life so richly deserved.
Manitowoc Pilot  Thursday, January 26, 1882
********
The funeral of Mr. N.B. Markham takes place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The 
Masons will escort the body to the Presbyterian church, where services will be 
held. From here, it will be escorted to Evergreen cemetery and buried with 
Masonic honors.
Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, January 24, 1882 P. 1
********
When the sun rose last Sunday morning, it found Nathan B. Markham dead. At the 
ripe old age of eighty-six years he laid down the burden of life, and to-day 
sorrowing friends bring him to that "narrow house, appointed for all the 
living."
About five months ago his robust nature gave way, and he was compelled to feel 
what he had never felt before-the pains and sufferings of sickness. Since then, 
disease held him in its relentless grasp, until finally, on last Sabbath morn, 
death ended his sufferings, and he now rests in peaceful slumber.
Mr. Markham was born in Pittsford, Vt., April 26th, 1796. In 1801 his father 
emigrated to Wilmington, in Essex county, New York. Here Mr. M. resided until 
1870, when he came to Manitowoc. He was one of the pioneers of northern New 
York, and a true type of them; tall and stately as the pines of his native 
State; ever hale and hearty, he lived a temperate and regular life. Since his 
earliest youth he was a diligent student of his times, and even in advanced 
age, his knowledge of events of the present and his remembrance of the past, 
was indeed remarkable.
In 1825 he joined the Masonic order, and has ever since, for a period of fifty-
seven years, been an honored member of that great fraternity. Throughout the 
Morgan madness he stood firm, never for a moment shrinking before popular 
disapproval, nor his faith in the principles of Masonry wavering. He lived 
as a Mason, he died as a Mason, and was buried as a Mason.
He was married on the 10th of May, 1827, to Miss Susan McLeod, at Wilmington, 
Essex county, N.Y., who now survives him. Mr. Markham took his bride to his 
own home, two and a half miles from her father's residence, where they lived 
forty-three years, and where was born to them six sons and four daughters, 
all of whom grew to man's and woman's estate. Four sons and three daughters 
are still living. With the aid of his estimable wife he reared and educated 
his children in the most commendable manner. Four of the boys were educated 
for the law, and two became merchants. That they, as well as their sisters, 
were a source of much pride and pleasure to their parents, we need not here 
state.
Immediately after marriage Mr. Markham engaged extensively in the manufacture 
of iron and lumber, on the Au Sable river in New York, and continued in this 
business for over forty years. During his residence in New York he held 
numerous important public offices, and at all time enjoyed the confidence, 
respect and love of his fellow citizens.
In 1870, as stated before, he came to Manitowoc and settled on a farm near 
the outskirts of the city, where he has since lived in peace and comfort.
About four years ago Mr. Markham and wife celebrated their golden wedding, 
which was made the occasion for a grand family reunion. The event is yet 
fresh in the memory of our citizens. It must have been a great joy and 
satisfaction to the aged couple, who, towards the end of their life's journey, 
sat once more surrounded by their children and grand-children. It was like the 
beautiful outburst of sunbeams just preceding a glorious sunset.
Mr. Markham was a man who was loth to change an old friend for a new one, and 
it was not easy to get acquainted with him; but those who enjoyed the pleasure 
of his acquaintance could not but admire the noble qualities of his manly 
nature. His word was as good as his bond, and his habits were without a blemish.
No father could be more respected and beloved than he was by his children, 
and no earthly home could surpass his in contentment and happiness. Throughout 
the vicissitudes of life, his love of home, wife and children, has grown 
stronger as time advanced. His faith in the Great Architect of the Universe 
never failed while his lamp of life held out to burn. Requiescat in pace.

The rest of the day passed pleasantly in recalling scenes of other days and compared the golden wedding with the wedding day fifty years ago when the future seemed all golden and at an early hour the company with many kind wishes, took their leave and separate homes.

Markham of Ayer, Mass., being unable to  attend the family reunion. A half century since our aged friends started on their marital journey with the promise, "til death do us part", through prosperity and adversity, through sickness, sorrow and death, with a love that has grown stronger and brighter as age dims the sight, unnerves the hand and disease holds them in its relentless grasp. With a faith that fails not, they approach that other home whose maker and builder is God.

R.H. MARKHAM SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACK
Well Known Local Attorney Dies Suddenly; Funeral To Be On Tuesday (photo)
Robert H. Markham, 76, of 534 North Fifth street, a practicing attorney here 
for 53 years and also prominent in real estate and insurance circles, died 
suddenly of a heart attack at his home late Saturday afternoon.

We unintentionally neglected to announce last week the death of Mrs. N.B. 
Markham, mother of J.D. Markham, Esq., of this city. At the time of her 
death she was 82 years of age and until within a comparatively short time 
enjoyed vigorous health.
Her early life was such as to inculcate those rigid principles which make 
life a success. 
Her declining years were made3 happy by observing the prosperity and 
receiving the love of the large family she raised.

BRIAN MARQUARDT

Falls Youth Dies Swimming In Quarry
A Sheboygan Falls youth became the first drowning victim in the county this year, 
while swimming with his father Sunday afternoon at the Sheboygan Quarry.
He was Brian Lee Marquardt, 17, of 235 Mill Street, whose body was recovered by 
a life guard a short time after the youth’s father reported him missing about 
5 p.m.
Efforts to revive the youth were made at the scene by several life guards and 
police officers before police transported him to Sheboygan Memorial Hospital where 
further resuscitative efforts were made in the hospital’s emergency room.
He was pronounced dead about a half hour after he was admitted to the hospital.
Brian, who had reportedly suffered from epilepsy, had been swimming with his father, 
Lee Marquardt, of 2102 Cooper Ave.
According to a police report, the boy had suffered an epileptic seizure the previous 
day and was taking medication for the illness.
Mr. Marquardt told police that he and his son had swum out to the far raft where, the 
father said, he then left his son and swam back to the beach to lie on the sand.
A short time later, the father related, he began searching for his son when he no 
longer saw him on the raft.
The father said he checked the entire beach area, their car, and after looking for 
his son for about an half hour he informed a life guard that the boy was missing.
Life guards immediately began searching the swimming area and at 5:04 p.m., police 
were summoned.
Shortly thereafter, life guard Brian Werner, of 703 Birch Tree Road, located the body 
and brought it to a raft where Werner and three other life guards attempted CPR.
Police then rowed a boat out to the raft, and the boy was brought to shore where 
police continued CPR efforts and administered oxygen. (Turn to Page 4, Col. 1) 
From Page 1…Drowning.  It was the first drowning at the Sheboygan Quarry since July 
of 1979.
The last drowning in Sheboygan County occurred in the fall of 1984 when the body of 
a 30-year-old Sheboygan woman was recovered along the Lake Michigan shoreline of 
Terry Andrae State Park.
The Marquardt youth was born Aug. 14, 1967 in Manitowoc, a son of Lee and Bernette 
Gallenberger Marqurdt. He attended Oshkosh North High School, entering his senior year, 
where he was a member of the school’s cross country team.
He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sheboygan Falls.
Survivors include his mother, Mrs. Robert (Bernette) Davis, Sheboygan Falls; his father, 
Lee Marquardt, Sheboygan; one brother, Gary of Fort Bliss, Tex.; a sister, Lynda of 
Sheboygan, and his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gallenberger, Manitowoc.
One brother and his paternal grandparents preceded him in death.
The funeral Mass will be offered at 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 
Sheboygan Falls, with the Rev. Jerome Stoll, pastor, as celebrant. Brief family 
services will precede the Mass at 10:30 a.m. at the Huehns Funeral Home in Sheboygan
