HENRY J. SCHREIHART

DEATH CLAIMS H.J. SCHREIHART AT HOME TODAY
Former Head of Brewing Co. Here Passes - Illness Forced Retirement 14 Years Ago
Henry J. Schreihart, 55, life long resident of Manitowoc, former president of
the Schreihart Brewing Co. founded by his father, the late John Schreihart,
but who, for the past several years has been forced to live a retired life on
account of illness, passed away at the family home, 1111 Marshall street, this
morning. He was taken seriously ill last Friday and failed rapidly until the
end came today.
Funeral services for the deceased will be held from the home on Saturday after-
noon at 2:30 in charge of the Manitowoc lodge of Elks, of which Mr. Schreihart
was a member. The Rev. Hood of the St. James church will be in charge and
interment will be at Evergreen.
Became Brewmaster
Mr. Schreihart was educated in the schools of the city and at the conclusion of
his schooling entered the Hanthe Brewing school at Milwaukee. After completing
his course there he returned to become brewmaster in the Schreihart brewery here,
operated by his father, John Schreihart, a pioneer brewer in Manitowoc, and 
before that time in Germany.
When reorganization of the brewery was perfected in 1911, and John Schreihart
retired from active head of the company, Henry Schreihart was elected president
of the company, which position he filled until a merger was effected with other
interests here, and the new company became the Manitowoc Products Co. Mr.
Schreihart continued with that company in an official capacity until failing
health fourteen years ago forced his retirement.
Great Lover of Books
In late years Mr. Schreihart has been a great lover of books and took pride in
his library at the home, where he spent many hours daily in reading. Just one
month ago today his mother, Mrs. John Schreihart passed away and it is believed
that the shock of her death brought about a sudden relapse in his condition that
forced him to bed at the end of last week and brought about his death this
morning.
Mr. Schreihart was married to Miss Hattie Hartwig of this city, on June 29, 1904
and she survives him with two sisters, Miss Helen of this city, and Mrs. Charles
Kulnick of Berlin, Wis., and two brothers, Edward of this city and Dr. Adolph
Schreihart of Chicago.
While not inclined to take part in public life the deceased was prevailed on by
his constituents to represent the third ward on the county board of supervisors,
serving for two years. In addition to the Elks the deceased was a member of the
United Commercial Travelers.
The remains have been removed to the home from the Pfeffer parlors, where they
may be viewed up to the time of the funeral.

ALBERT J. SCHROEDER  (d. 1925)

"AL" SCHROEDER LOSES BRAVE BATTLE TO LIVE
Death Comes to Him at Early Hour Today at His Home
Death was victor today over Albert J. Schroeder, well known railroad 
man of the city who for months has been waging a brave battle for life 
against inroads of an insidious ailment which baffled physicians and 
which in a short time had reduced him from robust health to a mere 
skeleton of his former self. Mr. Schroeder's death occurred at the 
family home, 619 North Tenth street at 4 o'clock this morning, just 
two weeks from the day of his return from Rochester where he had been 
receiving treatments at the noted clinic in that city. 
Mr. Schroeder's death, while not unexpected, it having been known that 
chances were against him, came as a shock to friends and will be keenly 
felt by many who know him best. Funeral services will be held Saturday 
afternoon from the home, with burial at Evergreen.
Stricken Few Months Ago
Only a few months ago the picture of robust health, friends are scarcely 
able to realize the death of Al. Schroeder. Stricken suddenly, his malady 
made rapid inroads upon his vitality and despite everything that could be 
done, doomed him to death. More than a month ago he was taken to Rochester 
where blood transfusions were made in an effort to cope with his condition 
but these failed and when he returned home two weeks ago it was known that 
hope must be abandoned. Despite his condition Mr. Schroeder was hopeful 
and patient and made a brave fight to live.
Was 49 Years of Age
Mr. Schroeder was born in this city December 3, 1875 and received his 
education in the local schools. For eleven years he was employed with the 
Goodrich Transportation company and twenty-three years ago entered employ 
of the North Western Railway Company with which he had been associated 
since, having been employed in the local yards of the company as foreman 
of a switching crew. He was forced to give up his work last December, 
performing his last service for the company on his birthday, December 2.
Married on December 27 to Kate Kulnick, Mr. Schroeder is survived by his 
wife and one son Leland, who is a student at the University of Wisconsin 
at Madison. His mother, Mrs. Mary Schroeder and one sister, Mrs. Clara 
Kirsch, and two brothers, Arthur and Otto, of Chicago and one brother Emil 
Schroeder, superintendent of the city utility plant, also survive.
Mr. Schroeder was a member of the local lodge of Elks and of the Railway 
Men's organization. He was well liked by all who knew him and his death 
will bring sorrow to a host of friends.

Al Schroeder Has Lucky Escape in a Train Accident Today
C & NW Yardman Escaped with Crushed Toes when He Might Have Lost Leg 
or Have Been Killed Outright
Al Schroeder, familiarly known as Schrimp, foreman of an engine crew in the 
local yards of the Chicago & Northwestern, played in great luck in escaping 
with slight injuries in an accident that might easily have cost him his life 
or loss of a foot or leg. Mr. Schroeder is at the hospital with two crushed 
toes.
Schroeder with his crew was engaged in switching a train of cars onto the 
tracks at the Western Elevator Company on Water Street. He was on the first 
car of the train which was being backed to the elevator and had one foot on 
the ladder which extends up the end of the car, while the other foot was on 
the lower rung of the ladder which is placed at the side of the car. One of 
the bolts holding the side ladder rung pulled out and Schroeder, from whose 
foot the support suddenly gave way, was unable to hold himself and his foot 
slipped onto the track directly under the wheel of the car which passed over 
the toes. The toes were badly crushed and it may be necessary to amputate 
them but physicians say that there is a chance they can be saved. Fortunately 
the wheel of the car did not pass over the whole foot or Schroeder would 
undoubtedly have been forced to undergo amputation of the foot. 
Mr. Schroeder was removed to the hospital where an examination revealed that 
his injuries were not as serious as at first feared, it having been reported 
that Schroeder would lose a leg. Mrs. Schroeder was absent from the city, 
having departed for Milwaukee on the train which leaves here at 10:15, only 
a half hour before the mishap. A message was dispatched to Mrs. Schroeder at 
Port Washington and at Milwaukee and she will probably return this afternoon. 
Mr. Schroeder has been an employe of the Northwestern for many years and the 
accident today is the most serious which he has ever experienced.

AUGUST SCHROEDER    (d. 1918)

FEARED CALL TO COLORS, FARMHAND COMMITS SUICIDE
Worrying over the fact that he possibly might be drafted and sent to 
a training camp, August Schroeder, 36 years old, a farm hand employed 
by Frank Merrill, in the town of Franklin, committed suicide yesterday 
by shooting. Death was instantaneous. Schroeder slipped behind the barn 
on the Merrill farm yesterday afternoon between ? and 6 o’clock. Shortly 
afterwards those in the farm house heard a shot and on going out to 
investigate, found Schroeder dead. It was evident that Schroeder was 
worrying over the draft. He had registered in the Sept. 12 draft and he 
had told friends that he would never go to war. Their remarks that 
possibly he might be summoned soon for service, on account of being 
single is believed to have worried him to such an extent that he resolved 
to end his life. 
Sheriff Kellner and District Attorney Brady were notified of the suicide, 
but decided that no inquest was necessary. The deceased is survived by a 
brother, residing on route 3, Manitowoc, and also by two sisters residing 
in this city. Burial will probably take place tomorrow. Thos. Sullivan, 
chairman of the Franklin town board, was in the city today to notify the 
relatives.

CHARLES H. SCHROEDER    (d. 1944)

Former Member of City Council Killed In a Fall
Charles H. Schroeder, 71, of Manitowoc route 1, former local business man and 
ex-alderman, was killed sometime Wednesday by a fall down a 20 foot embankment 
along the Soo line tracks about a mile east of Alverno.
Schroeder's body was found at the bottom of the embankment a litte after 8 a.m. 
today. Coroner Theodore Teitgen said Schroeder suffered a broken neck and broken 
back. He said there will be no inquest. The coroner expressed the opinion death 
had occurred around 1 p.m. Wednesday.
A report was made to the sheriff's office about 11 p.m. Wednesday by Marshal 
Schroeder of this city, a son, that Mr. Schroeder had been missing from his home 
since about 9 a.m. This morning at 8:30 Sheriff Elmer Bergner received a call 
from the Hugo Vetter residence, stating that a body had been found along the 
tracks near there.
Seen By Train Crew
The crew of a Soo line train noted the body this morning and contacted a section 
crew, according to Sheriff Bergner, and the crew contacted Vetter.
When found, the body was tangled in some old fence wire, the sheriff said, and he 
added that it is possible Schroeder may have tripped in the wire along the side of 
the track.
Schroeder had left his home about three-fourths of a mile west of the Haupt tavern 
at Alverno about 9 a.m. yesterday to go to Manitowoc Rapids. He had been seen along 
the tracks with his dog about 9:30 a.m. by Mrs. Hugo Vetter, the sheriff said.
Mr. Schroeder, who served eight years on the City Council, three terms as alderman 
from the sixth ward and one term as alderman from the fourth ward in the early 
1900's, was the first person to supply pasteurized milk in this city after he took 
over the old Davis milk depot on 8th street. He operated the milk depot and route 
for about 10 years.
Later he took over the operation of a grocery store on Chicago street between 9th 
and 10th streets. Six years later he worked at the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing 
company and had a small greenhouse on New York avenue. In the 30's he retired and 
moved to the home on route 1.
Born in this city March 4, 1873 a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Schroeder, 
Charles Schroeder married Miss Abbie Hall of Ringwood, Ill, in Chicago on March 23, 
1897. He was a member of the Chickerming lodge of the I.O.O.F.
Survivors are the wife, two daughters, Mrs. Karl Sieker of this city and Mrs. Leah 
Nelson of Fond du Lac; one son, Marshall of this city, two brothers, Emil of Ludington, 
Mich., and Hugo of this city; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

CHRISTOPH SCHROEDER

(A long article describing an accident on Thurs. afternoon last 
week in which Christian(sic) Schroeder was getting into his buggy 
to return to his ofice following lunch at home when the horse 
started up before he was fully seated and he was thrown to the 
ground suffering injuries to his head and shoulder.) In spite of 
medical help his condition worsened and he died of his injuries 
on Sun. morning. 
Mr. Schroeder was born 15 Aug. 1831 in Bülow, Mecklenburg. He 
came to America in 1856 and settled in Manitowoc where he entered 
the employ of the Goodrich Transportation Co., most recently 
serving as superintendent of the local woodworking shop. Mr. 
Schroeder was married two times and is survived by his second wife 
and 3 sons. In his honor the Goodrich ships have flown their flags 
at half mast as well as many other local establishments. The funeral 
was held yesterday afternoon at the city cemetery.
Der Nord Westen, 28 Sep. 1899
**********
DEATH OF CHRIS SCHROEDER.
Chris. Schroeder of this (sic) died on Sunday morning, his death resulting from 
injuries received on the Thursday preceding. He had hitched up his horse after 
dinner to go to his work. Just as he was entering his buggy a little dog nipped 
the horses heels causing him to start up. The dog was encouraged to persist by 
the horse’s running. Mr. Schroeder did not have the lines at first and so had 
no control of the horse. He was thrown out of the buggy near the curb and fell 
on his head and shoulders. His injuries were painful but were not thought serious. 
He breathed with difficulty but only to the extent to be expected from a heavy 
fall. A little puffy swelling developed on his neck and breast, but not to an 
extent to cause any alarm. On Saturday morning it had almost entirely disappeared. 
In the afternoon it again developed and grew worse. The swelling extended down his 
breast and sides, on his neck and head. The pulse became irregular and the action 
of the heart weak. The theory of the doctors is that the wrench he received caused 
a break between the cartilage rings of the trachea, at first very small, but it 
became enlarged by coughing and thus allowed air to escape under the tissues and 
thus affected the nerves of the heart, causing it to cease its functions.
Mr. Schroeder was a man of sterling character, one of the kind who make our best 
citizens. He was industrious, intelligent and gave his whole attention to his own 
business never meddling with the affairs of others. He was a robust man for his 
years and his face was an index of manliness.
Mr. Schroeder was born in Buelow, Mecklenburg, August 15, 1831 and came to this 
country December 1856, coming at once to Manitowoc where he resided until the time 
of his death. He was for 35 years employed by the Goodrich company as superintendent 
of carpenters and enjoyed the utmost confidence of his employers. His wife and three 
sons survive him, Henry, Charles and John.

**********
The mortal remains of Christopher Schroeder were tenderly 
laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery this afternoon. A large 
concourse of soarowing (sic) friends had gathered to pay a 
last tribute to the memory of the departed, and the local 
lodges, Sons of Hermann and I.O.O.F., both of which deceased 
was an honored member, attended the services in a body. The 
floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful, a number 
being received from officals of the Goodrich line. Rev. Rogne 
conducted the services and a large funeral cortege followed 
the remains to their last resting place. The pall bearers 
were D.B. Bleser, H. Eichmann, H. Levenhagen, G. Mueller, 
W. Echtenacher, H. Vits.

EMIL SCHROEDER    (d. 1950)

Emil (Pat) Schroeder, Who Headed Utility Plant, Dead
Managed Plant in City for 28 Years 
Emil C. (Pat) Schroeder, 81, of 617 North Tenth street, who saw the local 
municipal utilities grow from a privately owned and small plant, with a crew 
of only six men to its present status as one of the most modern municipal water 
and power plants in the United States, died Friday night.
Mr. Schroeder, who retired in 1941 as manager of the local utilities, after a 
28 year span, had been in failing health for several months. His death occurred 
at the Holy Family hospital, two weeks after the death of his wife, Rose.
Funeral services for Mr. Schroeder, which will be private, are set for 2 p.m. 
Tuesday at the Mittnacht funeral home. The Rev. A. C. Fischer will officiate and 
interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
He was born in this city in 1869 and after a common school education took a 
correspondence course in electrical engineering. He entered the employ of the 
Manitowoc Electric Light company owned by the John Schuette interests, at the 
age of 22 years. At that time, the number of users was limited to a small 
percentage of the population. The plant was located on Quay street, adjacent to 
the Oriental Mills, now a supply depot for the municipal utility.
Early Days Recalled 
Mr. Schroeder succeeded Julius Buerstaate as manager of the private electric 
utility. In those early days the plant was started when darkness set in and shut 
down in the late evening. During the day the six man crew, not needed at the plant, 
did house wiring, line building, meter reading, collection, arc light trimming and 
other similar duties. The first steam turbine was added in 19??
When the city took over the electric light plant in 1914, following acquirement of 
the water works plant a few years earlier, Mr. Schroeder was plant manager. He was 
retained in a similar capacity by the city in charge of both the water and light 
plants.
During his 28 year tenure as manager Mr. Schroeder saw the plant expand to its 
present proportions at the site at the foot of Columbus street along the lake shore, 
where the public utilities commission combined the two plants under one roof.
Retired in 1944 
When Mr. Schroeder resigned as manager of the two municipal utilities in 1941 he 
agreed to remain on in an advisory capacity and permanently retired in 1944.
He married Miss Rose Handl in this city in 1901. She died May 18. Survivors are a 
son, Richard E. of Cleveland, Ohio, brother, Otto of Chicago, and two grandsons, 
Peter and Mark Schroeder of Cleveland.
Mr. Schroeder was a member of the Masonic ____ in this city, and the Tripoli Sh___, 
the Manitowoc lodge of Elks and Royal league.
Friends may call at the funeral home from Monday ___ until Tuesday __ when the

married Miss Ida Dueno, daughter of our Fire Chief August Dueno, which 
marriage produced one son. Mrs. Schroeder was so stricken by the news of

JOACHIM SCHROEDER

DEATH CAME TO OLD SETTLER WHILE IN SLEEP
Joachim Schroeder Had Lived in City 57 Years
Death came to Joachim Schroeder, one of the city's oldest settlers, 
while he was asleep early today, his death occurring at the home 
1207 Division street where he had lived almost continuously during 
the fifty-seven years of his residence in the city. Mr. Schroeder's 
death was due to heart trouble and was wholly unexpected for, while 
he had been failing for some time and was 88 years of age, he was 
remarkably vigorous and was about the house as usual yesterday. He 
made no complaint of feeling ill last night when he retired and was 
apparently sleeping peacefully when his wife, alarmed by his failure 
to appear at the breakfast table went to call him. She was unable 
to arouse him and a physician who was called said that death had 
occurred some time previous.
Early Day Mason
Mr. Schroeder was a native of Mecklenburg, Germany and was born there 
in 1835. He was married there and with his wife and two children of 
the family came to America in 1866, locating in this city where he has 
since resided. Mr. Schroeder was a mason by trade and one of the early 
day men in that trade here, having assisted in the erection of many of 
the old buildings. For some years he had been retired.
Besides his wife Mr. Schroeder is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Otto 
Gerpheide and Mrs. Henry Schroeder, Clark street, this city and by 
thirteen grandchildren and one great grandchild.
Funeral services will probably be held Saturday afternoon.

PIONEER PAIR OBSERVE 60TH ANNIVERSARY
In the home on Division street which for fifty-five years has been their residence, 
Mr. and Mrs. Joachim Schroeder, pioneer residents today observed the diamond jubilee 
anniversary of their marriage. The aged couple are receiving congratulations of many 
friends at their home though no celebration of the unusual event was planned. Both 
Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder are in the eighties but both, particularly Mrs. Schroeder, 
have enjoyed unusual health for their ages.
It was sixty years ago today in a little village in Germany the couple plighted their 
troth and five years later they arrived in America and came direct to Manitowoc, which 
has since been their home. Mr. Schroeder was for many years a mason contractor in the 
city but, because of age and infirmities has lived a retired life the past fifteen 
years or more. The celebration of the sixtieth wedding anniversary is a privilege 
granted to but few couples in these days and Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder fully appreciate 
the privilege which is their lot.
Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder are parents of four children, two of whom have died since the 
celebration of their golden wedding ten years ago. The surviving children, both of whom 
were at home today, are Mrs. Henry Schroeder and Mrs. Otto Gerpheide, both residents of

John Schroeder Failed to Hear Approach of Train and is Killed 
ACCIDENT WEST OF CITY.
Was Carpenter and Had Been at Work in Country—Was on His Way Home to 
Spend Sunday With Family.
John Schroeder, a carpenter residing on Fair street, was killed by being run 
down by the Chicago & Northwestern south bound passenger train at noon today. 
The accident happened near Montrose Siding, west of the city and the unfortunate 
man survived his injuries twenty minutes, the body being brought to the city on 
the train which caused his death. Mr. Schroeder had been employed in the country 
west of the city for several weeks past and returned home on Saturdays and it is 
presumed that he was enroute to the city when overtaken by the fatal accident. 
The blinding snow storm which prevailed made it impossible for the engineer to 
see and the wind and storm evidently prevented Schroeder from hearing the approach 
of the train until too late. He was thrown from the tracks, both legs broken below 
the knees and his head badly cut and entire body bruised. 
Some trouble was experienced in identifying the remains which were taken to the 
baggage rooms at the C. & N.W., station, but later Henry ____, ___ engineer of 
the Seating Co., _____ of the unfortunate man _______ and made the identification. 
___ ___appeared also and recognized her brother. Mr. Schroeder had been a resident 
here for many years and was well known. The family consists of a wife and seven 
children, Mrs. John Bruder, being a daughter and John Schroeder, an employe of the 
C. & N.W., a son. The dead man was about 58 years of age. 
The passenger train was in charge of Conductor Williams and Engineer Albert 
Schroeder, but neither were held as witnesses. The Coroner was notified and an 
inquest is in session.

JOHN H. SCHROEDER  (d. 1945)

John H. Schroeder, Former Mayor, Industrialist Dies
Was Patient at Hospital a Week
John H. Schroeder, 83, three times mayor of Manitowoc, and prominent 
in the industrial life of Manitowoc a quarter of a century ago, died 
Sunday morning at the Holy Family hospital.
Mr. Schroeder, who for the past two and a half years had been living 
with a son, Alfred, at Panama City, Fla., returned to the city a week 
ago today and since had been a patient at the hospital. He retired from 
active business life in 1938.
Funeral services for the former mayor will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday 
at the Frazier mortuary chapel, in charge of the Knights of Pythias, of 
which he was a member. The Rev. C.H. Phipps will officiate. Interment 
will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Schroeder was born in this city in 1862, the son of the late Mr. and 
Mrs. Christoph Schroeder. He was educated in the city schools and took up 
the study of photography under Hugo Klingholz. After two years he became 
a carpenter and on completing his apprenticeship went to Chicago and 
Milwaukee, where he was employed for the next seven years.
Founded Building Supply Firm
In the spring of 1890 Mr. Schoreder returned to Manitowoc and six years 
later founded the Manitowoc Building Supply company, which he headed. 
The mill was then located at the present site of the Soo depot. A few 
years later a new plant was erected at York and North Fifth streets.
He served as mayor of Manitowoc during World War I, being elected in 1917 
and renamed to a second term in 1919. He was again named chief executive 
of the city in 1927, serving his third two-year term.
Taking the civic helm four days before war was delcared on Germany, Mr. 
Schroeder's first move was to save the Goodrich Transit company shops for 
the city. The company was pressed for room on the island, where the Ship 
Building company was expanding, and considered moving to Muskegon, Mich. 
Through the efforts of Mayor Schroeder the city procured a site for the 
shops on the east bank of the river at the foot of State street, retaining 
that industry for Manitowoc.
Pioneered For Better Streets
Mr. Schroeder was also mayor when the new Tenth street bridge was built, 
and pioneered in a street paving program that resulted in more than three 
miles 
(Continued on Page 2, Co. 5)
JOHN SCHROEDER, EX-MAYOR, DIES
(continued from Page 1)
of concrete streets being built in various parts of the city. He also 
pushed a program of park purchases, which included Lincoln park, a 52-acre 
tract, West field and Pulaski park in the seventh ward. He also instituted 
bathing beaches on the north and south sides.
It was during Mr. Schroeder's administration that the city acquired the 
old Victoria hotel property on Franklin street, as the location for a new 
city hall. Previously the city had leased city hall quarters on South Eighth 
street. He also carried through a program of expansion of Evergreen cemetery 
which eliminated need for locating a cemetery at a new site.
Active Republican
Mr. Schroeder spent much time in various civic projects in Manitowoc during 
his 50 years in business here. He was one of the organizers of the old 
Manitowoc club, founded by the late Mayor William Rahr. He was treasurer 
for years of the old third ward school district.
Mr. Schroeder was always active in the affairs of the Republican party. He 
was a delegate from Wisconsin at the national convention that nominated 
Herbert Hoover for president.
He married Miss Marie Raeuber of this city in 1893. She died in 1922.
Survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Maurice Thompson,of Dundalk, Md., Mrs. 
Harold Maas, of Topaz, Utah, three sons, Edward H., of Washington, D.C., 
Herbert K., of route 4, Manitowoc, and Alfred W., Panama city, Fla.; and 
12 grandchildren. Three brothers, Henry, Charles and Otto, preceded him 
in death.
The body may be viewed at the Frazier mortuary from 2 p.m. Wednesday until 
the hour of the services.

MARIE H. SCHROEDER    (d. 1922)

DEATH OF MRS. J. SCHROEDER SHOCK TO CITY 
Wife of Ex-Mayor Passes Away a Home Early Today 
Announcement of the death early today of Mrs. Marie Schroeder, wife of ex-Mayor 
John Schroeder, came as a shock to the community and with an appalling sense of 
personal loss to a large circle of personal friends who loved and admired her. 
Mrs. Schroeder’s death occurred at the family home at 811 South Sixteenth street 
at 10 o’clock this morning and her passing was calm and peaceful.
For several weeks Mrs. Schroeder’s condition had been considered critical and 
there was little hope that she would survive an illness which attacked her 
several months ago. Mrs. Schroeder underwent an operation at the hospital several 
weeks ago and temporary relief was afforded but her health again failed and for 
several days life had hung in the balance and the end today was not unexpected by 
the family.
Funeral on Saturday 
The funeral of Mrs. Schroeder will be held Saturday afternoon from the home at 2 
o’clock, Rev. Symon officiating. Burial will be in this city, where decedent had 
made her home since 1890. A brother, E. G. Raether, of Milwaukee, arrived last 
evening, summoned by a message and was in time to see Mrs. Schroeder before her 
death.
A Native of Milwaukee
Mrs. Schroeder, nee Marie Raeuber, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Raeuber, 
1415 Washington street, and was born at Milwaukee on October 24, 1870, being 52 
years of age at the time of her death. With her parents she removed to Marinette 
in 1888 and two years later the family located in this city and on December 26, 
1891, her marriage to Mr. Schroeder took place and they have since made their home 
here.
Mrs. Schroeder was prominent in Eastern Star circles and as a member of the Pythian 
Sisters. She was active in the Methodist church as a member of the ladies’ society 
and had taken an active interest in charitable work in the city. During the war Mrs. 
Schroeder was a member of the committee of ladies who assisted in the liberty loan 
drives and with work of the Red Cross, devoting much of her time to the activities. 
She was a lover of her home and family and found her chief enjoyment in life in the 
family fireside and the welfare of her children.
Besides her husband Mrs. Schroeder is survived by five children, three sons--Edward, 
Herbert and Alfred and two daughters, the Misses Alice and Clarice. Her aged parents, 
five brothers and one sister also survive. The brothers are E.G. Raeuber of Milwaukee, 
J.C. Raueber of Los Angeles, F. E. Raeuber of Kenosha, A. E. Raeuber of Fond du Lac 
and William Raeuber of this city and the sister, Mrs. Carl Strattman of Milwaukee. 
One sister, Miss Lucille Raueber, preceded her in death.

to this country with her parents when young and settled at Manitowoc, where she 
was afterwards married to Mr. Klupman. She had three children, two died while 
young and one daughter survives her. She has not seen her the last years. Her 
first husband died at Manitowoc and there she lived for fve years a widow. Ten 
years ago she was married to Mr. John Schroeder to whom she has always been a 
devout companion. She trid to make his last years happy for no one thought she 
would die so soon. She was always robust and up and around the house until a few 
minutes before she died. She complained of heart trouble the past year. The 
bereaved husband was alone by her bedside when she breathed her last. Although Mr. 
Schroeder is left without relatives he has many kind friends and neighbors who 
sympathize with him and who will do all they can to make life pleasant. It will 
not be many years before he will again meet the loved ones who have bone before

the bereaved parents was very feelingly shown by the large number of friends

EX-ALDERMAN WILLIAM G. SCHROEDER IS DEAD
DEATH SUDDEN FOLLOWING A HEART STROKE 
Well Known Resident Veteran Employe of Goodrich Co. 
William G. Schroeder, former alderman from the Fifth ward and who served as a 
member of the Fire and Police Commission and on the City Poor Commission, died 
at his home, 1814 Clark street, Monday afternoon, a victim of a sudden attack 
of heart trouble. Mr. Schroeder was stricken during the night Sunday when while 
about the house, he was overcome and was found unconscious on the floor. He 
never regained consciousness and death came shortly before 4 Monday afternoon.
Although Mr. Schroeder had not been in robust health, he had not complained and 
had been in his usual spirits and activity up to the time he was stricken. He 
was out Sunday and with Mrs. Schroeder, called upon friends, returning home 
during the early evening. During the night he awoke and in going about the house 
suffered the fatal attack, being found unconscious on the floor where he had 
fallen. There was a slight mark on the head but physicians say that this had no

is survived by two sons, Harvey and Walter, both of this city. Three brothers, 
Emil, George and Hugo, and one sister Mrs. George Handl, of this city also

For six years Mr. Schroeder served as a member of the city council, representing 
the Fifth ward. He retired voluntarily at expiration of his last term but was late 
induced to become candidate but lost the contest in a sweep in the election that 
year. The council during his three terms was his service to the ward and city in 
of (sic) a character that won him recognition as an official of highest type, Mr. 
Schroeder giving his best to the city in his service, which was based upon a 
thorough study and knowledge of civic problems. He was ever considered an official 
who believed service to the people a duty. A man of strong convictions, integrity 
and fair he was always loyal to his duty and to his friends.
On Fire-Police Board
Later Mr. Schroeder was named a member of the Fire and Police Commission, serving 
under ex-Mayor John Schroeder, his term expiring last year. Here too, he rendered 
valuable service in co-operating for the building up of the departments over which 
the commission has jurisdiction.
“Bill” Schroeder, as he was familiarly known to his friends, was admired and
