JOHN SCHEFFLER

FEAR MISSING MAN MAY BE IN RIVER LEAVES NOTE, DISAPPEARS, HE MAY BE SUICIDE
J. Scheffler, Crossing Watchman For N.W. Road, Worried Over His Health Is Report
"Please excuse me. Don't look for me. I have been a lunatic all my life. 
Am now sick of living."
This note, left in his room when he disappeared from the home of his brother-
in-law Henry Guehlsdorf, 632 So. Twenty-sixth street, leads relatives to 
believe that John Schaeffler (sic), 61, may have ended his own life in a fit 
of temporary insanity. Schaeffler has been missing since Saturday night and 
police who have conducted a search have been unable to secure any trace of 
him.
Schaeffler, crippled by the loss of one arm in early life, has been employed 
as a crossing gateman at Sixteenth and Franklin streets for the Northwestern, 
working from 6 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon. He returned as usual 
Saturday night and is known to have been in his room at 10 o'clock that night. 
Sunday morning he failed to appear at his usual work and it was found that he 
was not at home. The note furnished the only clew to his disappearance.
Worried About Health
Worry over condition of his health is believed by relatives to have unbalanced 
Schaeffler's mind. He visited a physician Friday and was found to have extremely 
high blood pressure and weak pulse and was apprehensive. The family believes that 
Schaeffler may have ended his life in the river, suggesting that he may have 
leaped from the Twenty-first street bridge but police have not attempted to drag 
the river because of not knowing where to start. Search about the high bridge and 
river was conducted yesterday as the man is said to have spent some of his spare 
time about that vicinity.
No Financial Worries
Schaeffler was a single man and had no financial worries, having been a man of 
thrifty habits and said to have saved some money. He had been employed by the 
Northwestern for ten years.
The search was being continued today. The missing man is 5 feet 6 inches, 160 
pounds, and has an arm hook for his right hand which he lost.

FIND BODY HANGING IN TALL TREE SCHEFFLER MYSTERY IS SOLVED TODAY
Eugene Knipp, 16, Finds Body of Missing N.W. Flagman Hanging to Tree on Asylum Farm
Climbing to almost the topmost limb of a tall pine tree in the clump of woods 
on the old Klingholz farm, now county asylum property, a quarter of a mile west 
of the city on the Middle road, Calumet yards, John Scheffler, 61, ended his 
life by hanging.
Missing since September 7, when he left the home of his brother-in-law, Henry 
Guelhsdorf, 632 South Twenty-sixth street, with whom he made his home while 
employed as Northwestern crossing gateman, at Franklin and Sixteenth streets, 
Scheffler was discovered this morning at six o'clock by Eugene Knipp, 16, 
residing at 913 South 24th street and Anton Rysticken, 40, 902 South 24th street, 
who accompanied him on the trip. So high up in the tall tree did Scheffler climb 
to make way with himself that it required the services of Officers Healy and Diegel, 
together with Fire Chief Kuplic and a crew of men from the fire department to cut 
down the body and lower it to the ground.
To Hold No Inquest
Coroner Kemper was notified but decided that no inquest would be necessary. The 
remains were removed to the Shimek and Schwartz parlors. It required over an hour 
to lower the body from the tree. It was at a spot within a stone's throw of an 
oft traveled lane off a side road, where scores of county aslyum workers passed 
daily to and from their labors in the fields to the west of the small grove of 
trees.
Knipp, who will claim the $200 reward offered by Scheffler's relatives for 
discovery of the body, passed the same spot last Sunday, on a trip through the 
woods on a nut picking expedition. He said that he noticed a man in the tree but 
thought that it was some one climbing about in the tree and paid little attention 
to the incident. Later in the week he began to think it over and told of what he 
had seen last evening to Anton Rysticken, residing a few doors from the Knipp home 
on Twenty-fourth street. Bright and early this morning they set out for the scene 
and soon located the body. It was fully forty feet from the ground. Scheffler, 
although crippled by the loss of his right hand, had in some manner been able to 
climb into the tree, fasten one end of a stout rope to one of the upper branches 
and then release his legs from the branch and end his life.
Notify the Police
Kipp and Rysticken returned to the city shortly after six o'clock and notified 
the police department of their find. Officers Healy and Diegel went at once to 
the scene, but saw that more help would be needed. Chief Kuplic and members of 
the department, with a long extension ladder, went out and after over an hour's 
work in which several limbs had to be cut away so that the body could be lowered, 
succeeded in getting it to the ground. Henry Guehlsdorf, a brother-in-law, was 
also at the scene while the workers labored to get the body down from its high 
perch in the pine tree.
The finding of Scheffler's body ends a search that has been under way ever since 
he disappeared six weeks ago. At that time he left a note in his room, which gave 
an inkling of his intentions to end his life. It asked that searchers were not to 
look for him and that he was "sick of living." From the note it was evident that 
Scheffler picked this unusual spot and method to end his life, probably figuring 
that searchers would not find the body if he sought a tall tree.
Explodes "Medium's" Theory
Scheffler made his home at the Guehlsdorf home for the past twelve years ever 
since he was employed as a Northwestern crossing gateman. He worked from six in 
the morning until two in the afternoon, and disappeared on a Saturday afternoon. 
The aid of a Milwaukee medium, A.P. Roberts, was sought by his relatives and the 
latter insisted that the body would be found in the Manitowoc river, even pointing 
out the exact spot where the remains could be located. But although the river was 
dragged by the police and others for many days, of course no trace was found of 
him.
Later a report came from Two Rivers that a "one armed man" had been terrorizing 
residents on the east side there, and relatives of Scheffler turned in that 
direction in hopes that the man might be the missing gateman. But the reports 
proved groundless.
Worried Over Health
It is believed that Scheffler decided to end his life following a visit he made 
to a local physician who told him that he had high blood pressure and a week pulse. 
He was a single man, had no financial worries; was thrifty, and was said to have 
saved some money. He lost his right hand in an accident in early life and wore a 
black glove over the stub member.
He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Henry Guehlsdorf, 632 South 26th street, with 
whom he made his home, and Mrs. Wm. Ernst of Milwaukee, and four brothers, Robert 
of Newton, and Albert, August and William of the town of Centerville.
Funeral Services Saturday
The remains will remain at the Shimek and Schwartz chapel and funeral services will 
be held from that place Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. Interment will be at 
Evergreen cemetery.

The trees sway from side to side

It's as if they wave goodbye to you 
every time you go. 
Then the sun will go down 
as the world takes its turn, 
And it will not shine as bright 
'till the day you return 
Then all that will remain 
is your footprints in the snow. 
Which in time will start to fade 
and even they will go. 
But my memories of you could never fade away, 
for each time you leave I will miss you every day. 
Because you mean so much 
You're the one I hold true 
And you'll be with me always 
For my heart belongs to you.

SIMON SCHEINOHA

Injuries Proved Fatal.
Simon Scheinoha Dies From the Effects of His Injuries.
Simon Scheinoha, the carpenter who was injured at the dock Saturday, 
died at his home on Hamilton street yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was 56 years of age and leaves a wife and eight children, 
seven of whom are under 21 years of age. He has always been an honest, 
upright and industrious man and held the respect and esteems of a 
large circle of friends. He was an active member of the United Workmen 
and carried $2,000 insurance in that order. The breaved family have 
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in this, the dark hour, 
of their affliction.

Simon Scheinoha, while engaged with others in the employ 
of the Chicago and Northwestern Comapny, tearing down a 
so-called coal shed, was injured last fall, and died from 
the effects of the injuries, on November 19, 1898. 
Thereafter, the widow made application for administration 
in the county court of Manitowoc County, through Henry J. 
Gerpheide as attorney, and Mr. Wm. Rathsack was appointed 
administrator, the object being to commence suit against 
the railroad company for causing the death. Mr. Gerpheide 
has since then looked carefully into the matter and the 
law bearing on the case, and he has come to the conclusion 
that the company is not liable. He succeeded in securing 
an offer from the company of a certain sum as sympathy to 
the family but they refused to accept. Mr. Gerpheide is 
of the opinion that the plaintiff could not recover any 
damages and personally has dropped the case.

RUTH SCHENIAN

Death's angel came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Schenian last evening and 
robbed it of its treasure, little Ruth, a winsome babe of seven months. The 
little one was a sufferer from nervous trouble and her death came during one of 
the frequent attacks of the disorder. The babe had never been strong but by her 
very helplessness, more marked than that of healthy infancy, she had woven around 
the hearts of father and mother ties of tenderness and love and the passing of 
the baby life is a bitter sorrow. The sympathy of many a parent's heart will go 
out to Mr. and Mrs. Schenian in this their hour of affliction. 
Funeral services will be held at the house to-morrow afternoon, Rev. Gray

ANDREAS SCHERBERGER

Should Be Investigated
Andreas Sherberger(sic) died in this city last Wednesday afternoon and the 
physician on attendance is suspicious of poisoning. It seems that the deceased 
was the third husband of the present Mrs. Sherberger and her second husband 
died only a few months ago, he having precisely the same symptoms as those in 
this case of the man just gone.
About the first of July, a daughter who had some money was taken with the 
complaint and after a weeks' illness, died, although the physician was sure she 
would recover and the mother claimed she would die. Although called in time to 
aid the daughter, Dr. Luhman informs us that he was not called to attend either 
of the men until they were beyond help. When called for Mr. Sherberger, he 
hurried to the house, but he (Sherberger) had ceased to breathe, but the muscles 
were still twitching, showing that he had just expired and as the Dr. stated, 
the twitching of the muscles would indicate poison. The Dr. drove to the asylum 
on the hill and returned in about fifteen minutes and as he passed the house, he 
saw the undertaker was at the house, so that he must have been called before the 
man was dead.
The embalming mixture having been forced into the stomach would destroy all 
chances of tracing poison, if any. As two husbands and one daughter have died 
in so short a time, each having exactly the same symptoms, it is not unreasonable 
to say it is a remarkable case and the interests of the family, as well as the 
community, demand a thorough investigation.
The bodies of the last husband and the girl were embalmed, but that of the second 
husband was not, therefore, as there is suspicion in the air, it is but just that 
the body of the latter be exhumed and the contents of the stomach examined. It 
would seem to justify to all required that something of this kind be done to 
clear a family who if not guilty, cannot afford to have such a terrible suspicion 
held over them, if on the other hand there be foul play, justice should be dealt 
accordingly.
Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, July 31, 1888 page 5
********
ANDREAS SHERBERGER (sic) of this city died quite suddenly on Wednesday morning. 
He was married only three months ago and the suddenness of his death led to the 
holding of an inquest.
LATER.—When arrangements were made for a post mortem examination Sherberger came 
to life again and put a stop to further proceedings.
LATER—He died again quite suddenly in the afternoon. There were suspicions of 
poisoning and his stomach was taken out when it was found to have been filled 
with embalming fluids after his death. This will probably prevent an analysis 
being made, but it will certainly prevent him from coming to life a second time.
Manitowoc Pilot, July 26, 1888  P. 3
*********
SHERBERGER (sic) hasn’t come to life since and it is now impossible to tell whether 
he was poisoned or not. There are many stories afloat which would seem to demand some 
investigation whether the contents of the stomach can be analyzed or not. Mrs. 
Sherberger was quite seriously sick the day after her husband’s death and there were 
further rumors of poisoning. If reports are true it is a sort of Lucretia Borgia affair.

SUICIDE-LOCAL MAN MAKES BOTCH JOB
Makes Poor Job of it-
Arthur Scherer, a south side man, made a "botch" job of an attempt
at suicide Saturday night at his home on Jay street when, after
avowing his intention of ending his life, he loaded a shotgun and
attempted to reach the trigger after placing the gun under his chin.
Scherer lost his balance and the gun was exploded, the shot tearing
a big hole in the ceiling of the room. Scherer was uninjured, but
had the shot carried through the floor above, Mrs. Henry Goedke,
mother-in-law of the man, who occupied the room above, might have
been killed.
Scherer and his wife occupy the downstairs flat while Mrs. Scherer's
parents reside upstairs. Scherer, returning home late Saturday 
evening, said that he was going to shoot his head off and made all
preparations to carry out his threat, but his struggles to reach the
trigger of the gun with his hand after placing the muzzle under is
chin, caused him to lose his balance and the shot went wide.
Scherer was in probate court today and after promising to forego the
"pleasure" of shooting up his home and self, he was released on
parole. It is said that Scherer has made similar threats before.

HENRY SCHERER, SR., FATHER OF LATE ALD. WM. SCHERER, 
DIES FEW HRS. AFTER FUNERAL OF HIS SON
Civil War Veteran and Pioneer settler of City Succumbs to Injuries 
Suffered in Fall on Icy Walk Three Weeks ago. Funeral to be Held 
on Sunday
Death came to Henry Scherer, Sr., civil war veteran and pioneer 
resident of the city, on the day that the funeral of his son, the 
late Ald. William Scherer, was held yesterday, Mr. Scherer passing 
away at the hospital a few hours after the burial of his son at 
Evergreen. The family has the sympathy of the public in the double 
bereavement which has come to it.
Mr. Scherer's death was due to injuries, which he sustained three 
weeks ago when he suffered the fracture of his hip in a fall on an 
icy walk. Owing to his advanced age, the inury was a most serious 
one and his ????tion had held out little hope of recover. The death 
of his son a few days ago undoubtedly hastened his demise, proving 
a great shock to him.
The accident which resulted in the death of Mr. Scherer occurred at 
his home, 1219 So. Eleventh street, three weeks ago and he was removed 
to the hospital where his death occurred ??? night. Mr. Scherer was 83 
years of age and a native of Germany. He came to America sixty two 
years ago and for more than half a century had been a resident in this 
city, and was married here. Mr. Scherer served in the civil war as a 
member of the 45th Wisconsin and later returned here. He was a member 
of Walker Post, G.A.R. and was well known.
Besides his aged widow, who is prostrated by the double bereavement 
in the death of her husband and son, Mr. Scherer is survived by three 
children, Edward, this city, Mrs. Charles West of Milwaukee and Henry, 
Jr., of Neshoto, Mrs. West, who was here for the funeral of her brother, 
Ald. Scherer had returned to Milwaukee last evening and upon arrival 
there received the message announcing the death of her father and she 
will return for the funeral.
The funeral for Mr. Scherer will be held Sunday afternoon from the 
Reformed church of which he had been an active member for more than 
forty years.

WILLIAM SCHERER    (d. 1916)

DEATH INVADES CITY'S OFFICIAL FAMILY FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS, 
ALD. WM. SCHERER DIES SUNDAY
MEMBER OF COUNCIL FROM THIRD WARD SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS OF TEN 
DAYS FROM PNEUMONIA AND COMPLICATIONS. HAD SERVED TWO TERMS 
AS MEMBER OF BOARD OF ALDERMEN. LONG RESIDENT OF CITY
Death, for the first time in many years, has invaded the official 
family of Manitowoc and claimed a member in service of the municipal 
government, William Scherer, member of the city council from the 3rd 
ward, having passed away at his home, 1315 South Twelfth street, 
Sunday afternoon.
A call for an informal meeting the city council to be held this evening 
to arrange for attendance at the funeral, has been issured by Mayor 
Edward Thorison. The council will attend the funeral in a body.
The death of Alderman Scherer came as a shock to his associates in the 
city's official family and to the city, he having been ill but ten days. 
Death was due to pneumonia and complications and while his condition had 
been critical, it was not until Saturday that physicians abondoned hope 
of his recovery. The end came Sunday afternoon, Mr. Scherer being 
surrounded by members of his family as death claimed him.
Mr. Scherer was a native of New York state and had he lived until March 
would have been 55 years of age. He came here with his parents as a boy 
and had made his home in the city practically all his life. He learned 
the shoemaker's trade which he followed up to the time of his death, 
having been employed at the Luebke & Kellner store in recent years having 
been at work only two weeks ago when stricken. Mr. Scherer attended the 
last meeting of the city council held Jan. 17 but at that time complained 
of illness and two days later was forced to take to his bed which he was 
destined not to leave alive.
Alderman Scherer was serving his second two-year term as a member of the 
council, having been first elected in 1913 from the Third ward on the 
socialist ticket. He was one of two members of that part to be re-elected 
in the campaign last spring and the first of his party to be named in the 
Third ward.
In his service in the council Alderman Scherer was named on important 
committees, being chairman of the police committee during his two terms. 
He was interested in the improvement of the department and only recently 
introduced a recommentation in the council for purchase of a motor patrol. 
He was also a member of committees on public improvements, on licenses 
and on streets.
Mr. Scherer was a strong advocate of the rights of the small property owner 
of the city and was constantly watchful of the interests of his constituents. 
He was determined in his opposition to measures which he deemed unjust and 
as determined to support of those things which he believed for the general 
public good and while not an orator, he was active in debates on questions 
of public policy. Mr. Scherer was known as a supporter of the administration 
policies as outlined by Mayor Stolze.
Besides his wife Mr. Scherer is survived by seven children, William, this 
city; Mrs. Mayme Seefluth, Madison, Omar, Boyd, Arline, Roy and Florella of 
this city.
Funeral arrangements of the burial of Alderman Scherer have not been 
completed.

TOWN MAY FACE A DAMAGE SUIT
Farmer Has Leg Broken When Hay Load Tips Over on Lake Shore Road
What promises to develop into a damage suit against the Town of Manitowoc, has 
resulted from an accident that befell Peter Scheuer, a Town of Manitowoc farmer 
who in bringing in a load of hay to the city today was caught under the vehicle 
in such a way when it tipped over enroute, as to sustain a broken leg. Scheuer, 
in driving to the city, came in over the Lake Shore road along the Traction 
Company line and when on the hill north of the company's power house the load 
tipped over and he was pinioned under it, one leg being crushed so that a bad 
fracture resulted.
Scherer was found in his plight by neighbors who rushed him to this city as fast 
as possible and the leg was set in Dr. Gleason's office. The patient suffered the 
ordeal without flinching, without the aid of aneasthetics and immediately after 
was taken to his home. The town road which has been washed out several times is 
again said to be sadly in need of repair and the tipping of the load was due 
directly to the condition of the road. The road has been the source of trouble 
to the town and at one time its discontinuance as a highway was advocated.
