AUGUST MEYER  (d. 1930)

TAPS SOUNDED FOR CIVIL WAR VET
AUGUST MEYER DIES AT HOME HERE THURSDAY
93 Year Old Veteran Who Became Known Throughout Nation Passes As 
He Quietly Rests
Rapidly thinning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic were further 
depleted here yesterday at 2:15 o'clock when August J. Meyer, veteran 
of many hard fought battles of the Civil War, passed away as he rested 
in sleep.
The death of Mr. Meyer was as tranquil as the family life which he 
lived in Manitowoc for over 65 years. He had been about as usual up 
until Wednesday night when he complained of being tired and he retired 
early that evening. The following morning he remained in his bed 
although he was up on different occasions during the day. Shortly before 
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon he fell into a deep sleep and passed away 
shortly afterward with his wife a constant companion at his bedside.
One of Three Survivors
Death of Mr. Meyer leaves but two members of the Horace M. Walker Post 
of the G.A.R. surviving and breaks up a trio of veterans consisting of 
Mr. Meyer, Jacob Williams and Frank Braun who were cronies and who 
frequently met to discuss the thrilling events of the war in which they 
participated seventy years ago.
Born near Hamburg, Germany on November 23, 1836, Mr. Meyer was 93 years 
of age at the time of his death. He came to the United States and to 
Manitowoc the year before the Civil war broke out but finding it difficult 
to find work here he continued to Iowa where he enlisted with the outbreak 
of the Civil war in 1861. He served with the Union Army for three years 
before receiving his honorable discharge.
Returns to Manitowoc
Immediately following the conclusion of the war between the states, Mr. 
Meyer returned to Manitowoc where he took up his occupation as a carpenter, 
continuing in that and other lines of work until his retirement only a few 
years ago. Active beyond his years, Mr. Meyer was a familiar figure about 
the city and rode a bicycle until he was well past 80 years of age, 
desisting from that practice at the importunities of his family afer he 
had been run down and seriously injured by an automobile.
In recent years he has lived a retired life but continued to do the chores 
about the home, spading his own garden and taking care of the many flowers, 
the raising of which continued to be a hobby of his until the time of his 
death. At any time in recent years the visitor to the Meyer home may have 
found him seated in his comfortable chair in the kitchen where he discussed 
current and historical events with a keenness of mind of a man 50 years his 
junior.
Was nationally Known
Pictures of and the story of Mr. Meyer's life were sent throughout the nation 
last year as efforts were made to learn the identity of the oldest Civil war 
veteran-youngest child combinatin in the country. At that time he posed for 
a number of newspaper photographers who took photos of him on the occasion 
of his 93rd birthday, the picutes showing him with his 17-year-old daughter, 
Margaret, a graduate of the Lincoln high school with the class of 1929 and 
at present a student at the University of Wisconsin.
Leaves Wife, Daughter
Mr. Meyer was married to Miss Bertha Jauger in 1866, his wife passing away a 
number of years ago. In 1908 he married Mrs. Marie Tegen and his widow with 
one daughter, Margaret, a student at Madison, and several stepchildren survive 
him. He was the last of the Meyer family in this country and leaves no immediate 
survivors other than the widow and the one child.
Military Funeral
Full military honors will be accorded to Mr. Meyer at the funeral services to 
be held at the family home, 912 S. Tenth street, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. 
Services will be in charge of the Women's Relief Corps with Rev. D.C. Ristad 
officiating for the burial rites. Interment will take place at Evergreen.

3 YEAR OLD BOY BADLY INJURED BY AUTO THIS MORNING
Little Son of Herman Meyer is Run Down at Cleveland Avenue 
and Eighth Streets
Run down by a Ford truck at Cleveland avenue and Eighth street this 
morning, Freddie, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Meyer 
of Cleveland avenue, was taken to the hospital where an operation upon 
the child may save the boy from serious consequences of the accident. 
The extent of the boy’s injuries could not be stated by physicians this 
afternoon. The child was thrown under the car which did not pass over 
his body. He sustained a dent in the skull from which concussion is 
feared and was severely bruised, ?  being cut in his cheek, his ear 
being badly lacerated and partially torn from the head and ? lacerated 
from contact with the teeth. 
The machine which struck the boy was owned by the Esch Sons company 
being one of the delivery trucks of the company. The child was picked 
up by the driver and taken to the offices of Dr. Gleason where the 
injuries were temporarily dressed and the boy was later removed to 
the hospital for attention. The accident happened at the turn of the 
street at Cleveland avenue and Eighth street where the traction line 
runs to Two Rivers. The Esch car was coming from the boulevard and 
just as it reached the corner, two children who were pulling a small 
wagon in which the Meyer child was seated, started to cross the street 
ahead of the automobile. The approach of the car frightened the children 
who were pulling the wagon and they dropped the handle and started to 
run leaving the boy and the wagon in the roadway to be struck by the 
automobile. Boy and wagon were caught under the car.

IDA MEYER    (d. 1908)

DEATH OF MISS MEYER GREAT SHOCK TO FRIENDS
Life That Was Beloved for its Brightness and Usefulness is Terminated in Youth
Death at the Hospital
Within two months of the death of her mother, which had proved a terrible shock 
to her, Miss Ida Meyer, daughter of August Meyer, South Tenth Street, died today, 
her demise occurring at the Holy Family Hospital at noon, as result of an illness 
of but two weeks duration and an operation which had been performed. Though not 
unexpected, having been foreshadowed by the severity of the ordeal through which 
she passed, the death of Miss Meyer is a great shock and will bring sorrow to a 
large circle of friends who knew and loved her.
The death of Miss Meyer is pathetically sad and to the bereaved father, who within 
a brief period has been called upon to lose wife,, two sons and now his daughter, 
the sympathy of the community will go out. Miss Meyer had been in ill health for 
some time and ten days ago consented to undergo an operation wich it was hoped 
would restore her and it was undertaken last week. Though the patient appeared to 
rally, from the first it was feared that she would not survive and during the two 
days previous to her death, hope had been abandoned. Death was peaceful.
Born in this city twenty-eight years ago, Miss Meyer had always made her home here 
and among the city's young people no one was more widely known and held in higher 
esteem. A member of St. James Episcopal Church, decedent had been an active worker 
and her devotion and unselfishness had won her the love and admiration of her 
friends. She was a young lady of bright and loveable disposition and her gentle 
companionship will be sadly missed. Miss Meyer was one of the local leaders of St. 
Agnes Guild, the young ladies society of St. James parish and her work for the 
guild had exercised an influence that was beneficial to her associates. In her home 
she was the ideal daughter and after the death of her mother, the solace of her 
father. Her demise in youth, with grand possibilities of the bright future unrealized, 
is deeply regretted and brings sorrow to the community. Funeral arrangements have not 
been made.

The funeral of the late Miss Ida Meyer will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2

*******
Death in Holy Family Hospital on Friday of Miss Ida Meyer, daughter of
August Meyer here. Miss Meyer was brought to the hospital about 10 days
before her death in order to undergo an appendicitis operation. The 
operation was successful and the patient appeared to rally, but she grew 
weaker and weaker day by day until death overtook her on Friday. Miss 
Meyer was born in Manitowoc 28 years ago and has spend most of her life 
here. Most recently she was a bookkeeper in the office of Mr. Esch. Several 
weeks ago her mother died and her sorrow may have contributed to her lack 
of recovery from the operation. Mr. August Meyer has been deeply affected 
by the loss of wife and daughter in so short a time. The funeral was held 
Tuesday afternoon.

DIED:

effects of it.
She had been employed for some years past as head book keeper in the store of 
Henry Esch, and was an active member of the St. James church. She was a young 
lady of splendid character and her loss will be mourned by a large circle of friends.
She is survived by an aged father, her mother's death having occurred about two 
months ago.

Evergreen cemetery.

LILLIAN MEYER   (d. 1924)

ILL HEALTH CAUSES WOMAN TO END LIFE 
Wife of Two Creeks Farmer Found Hanging in Barn
Despondent Over Ill Health, Mrs. Lillian Meyer, wife of a farmer 
living near Two Creeks on the Lake Shore road, ended her life by 
hanging early this morning, the body being discovered by members 
of the family when the woman failed to make her appearance for 
breakfast. Mrs. Meyer, nee Graycarek, has been ill for some time 
and has been a patient at a Milwaukee sanitarium for a number of 
weeks. She had returned yesterday, apparently much improved in 
health and appeared to be pleased to be back with her family again. 
When she did not appear for breakfast, her room was visited and her 
absence discovered. A search was started and her body found hanging 
from a rafter in the barn. Life had been extinct for about three 
hours. 
Dr. W. G. Kemper, county coroner, was called and made an investigation 
and found that the case was clearly one of suicide so no inquest will 
be held. Members of the family said that they heard Mrs. Meyer up and 
about at 4 o’clock this morning but thought nothing more of the matter 
until her failure to appear for breakfast. 
She is survived by four small children and her husband.
The family had made its home on the Peter Schroeder farm only a short 
time, having moved there last spring. No funeral arrangements had been 
completed this morning.

*******
Last week we reported the 18 Jan. death of Nicolaus Meyer, 
a resident of Town Manitowoc Rapids, but did not print 
biographical material which was not yet in our hands. 
Nicolaus Meyer was born 06 Dec. 1823 in Grand Duchy Baden. 
As a young man of 25 he came to America in 1848, traveling 
on to Manitowoc County where he settled in Town Kossuth at 
a time when it was still just a wilderness and was populated 
by more Indians than whites. He established a farm with all 
of the trials which pioneer life then entailed and which the 
present generation is unable to appreciate. He operated the 
farm until 13 yrs. ago when he retired and went to live with 
his son-in-law, Jacob Braun in Manitowoc Rapids. His wife, 
with whom he lived happily over 50 yrs, preceded him in death 
12 yrs. ago. He leaves 3 sons and a daughter (the wife of the 
above mentioned Jacob Braun). The funeral was held Sat. 
afternoon in the city cemetery.

COURT DECIDES THAT $600 WAS GIVEN IN CONSIDERATION OF RECEIVING CARE, ETC.
The decision handed down last week in the county court by Judge Chloupek in 
the contest between heirs of Nicholas Meyer, a Rapids man deceased, declares 
that a sum of money, $600, given by the said Nicholas Meyer to his daughter, 
Mrs. Jacob Brown, prior to his demise, was given in consideration of receiving 
care, at the hands of the recipient of the money, during the declining years 
of his life. When the father died, a son, Joseph, sought to be appointed as 
administrator of the estate, but his sister, the recipient of the aforesaid 
sum of money, and an other son of the deceased were opposed to the petition. 
The son seeking the appointment had paid his father $600 on a $1000 mortgage 
held by the latter prior to his death. An affidavit was filed, which declared 
that Mrs. Brown was in possession of the $600 and that this sum should be turned 
over to the estate of the deceased. Mrs. Brown was required to appear in court. 
There she advanced the plea that the money had been given her by the deceased 
for his care and to pay the funeral expenses and erect a headstone at the grave. 
Judge Chloupek in his decision, as stated, sustains the plea set up by Mrs. 
Brown.
