ARTHUR F. SCHUETT

THROWN FROM TRUCK, NECK BROKEN
MAN KILLED IN PECULIAR MISHAP TODAY 
Overhanging Wire Pulls Him From Truck and Neck Is Broken
Arthur F. Schuett, 33, of 2413 Liberty Place, this city, employed by the 
Goodrich Transit Co. in its truck line between Manitowoc and Sheboygan, was 
killed early today in an accident on Highway 17, thirteen miles south of this 
city. Schuett was thrown from the truck when he was caught by an overhanging 
wire across the road which pulled him from the truck and threw him under the 
trailer which was attached to the truck. Schuett’s neck was broken by contact 
with the concrete roadway and while it is believed the wheels of the trailer 
passed over him, death was due to the fracture.
The body was brought to the Vogelsang undertaking rooms here after Coroner W.G. 
Kemper had visited the scene and examined the body. No inquest is expected to 
be held. No funeral arrangements have been made. 
Peculiar Accident.
The accident is one of the most peculiar in annals of the county. Schuett was 
assisting Leo Schroeder, driver of the company, in bringing the truck to the 
city with a trailer. He had made his way to the rear of the truck to see that 
the trailer load was all right and was standing when the wire, a telephone wire 
which is nine feet six inches from the ground and extends over the roadway, 
caught him and pulled him from his position, throwing him to the pavement and 
his death. Schuett was alive when Schroeder reached him but died before arrival 
of a physician.
According to Schroeder and other employes of the Goodrich Co. truck line the 
presence of the wire over the roadway was known as the wire has been in place 
for a long time but causes no trouble to traffic and would not have, under 
ordinary circumstances, interfered today but for the fact that Schuett was in 
standing position and had evidently failed to remember and duck the wire. It is 
reported that on several occasions where heavy loads were carried, Goodrich 
trucks have had to raise the wire to get under but possibly Schuett was not 
acquainted with the fact.
Born at English Lake
Schuett, unfortunate victim of the accident today, is a son of Mrs. Wilhelmina 
Schuett, this city, and was born at English Lake 32 years ago on January 9. His 
father, Ernst Schuett is dead and besides the mother, one brother Waldemar and 
two sisters, Mrs. Fred Luebke and Mrs. Hugh Jolin, all of this city, survive. 
Schuett had been employed with the Goodrich Co. since last fall and previous to 
that time was employed at the Goods plant and with the Rudolph Floral Company.
The dead youth was a member of Company 7, W.N.G. and a corporal in the company 
to which he had belonged for five years or more. It is probable that a military 
funeral will be held.

WALDEMAR SCHUETT

BODY OF WALDEMAR SCHUETT IS FOUND IN RIVER
DISCOVERED AT GAS PLANT BY THE FOREMAN
Was Missing Since Sunday When He Planned Going On Fishing Trip
Missing since Sunday morning when he failed to fill a fishing date 
with a companion, the body of Waldemar Schuett, 31, a fisherman, was 
found floating in the river near the gas plant at 6am today. Although 
there was a slight scar on the face no foul play is suspected. 
Relatives are just as certain that Schuett did not end his own life. 
Schuett is believed to have wandered down to the river for a walk 
before returning to his quarters, tripped on some obstruction along 
the dock and fallen into the water. Remains of the dead man, who made 
his home at the Felix Borths fishhouse at the foot of South Ninth 
street along the river, were removed to the Pfeffer funeral parlors, 
after Coroner Gerald Rau, Two Rivers had been notified. The coroner 
after reaching the scene decided that there would be no inquest. Burial 
took place this afternoon from the Pfeffer funeral home in charge of the 
Rev. Koeninger of the German Lutheran church. Had Not Been Back. The 
sudden death of Schuett was a shock to his aged mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina 
Schuett, who resides with her daughter at 2506 Western Avenue. She had 
prepared a lunch for her son when he visited her on Saturday afternoon 
and told of his plans to go fishing at English Lake on Sunday morning 
with John Spaeth. The lunch, unopened and his unused bed at the Felix 
Borths fish shanty Sunday disclosed that he had not been back Saturday 
evening. Schuett was last seen alive around the midnight hour Saturday 
by Officer Charles Denor. He met Schuett in the vicinity of the Glenn 
Inn. The officer said that Schuett walked west on Commercial street. 
The body was found floating in the river by the night foreman at the 
gas plant at the foot of Chicago street soon after the thunderstorm broke 
this morning. He telephoned the police station and Assistant Chief Edward 
Ladwig and Officer Herman hurried to the scene and pulled the body form 
the water. 
Born at Newton. 
Waldemar Schuett was born in the town of Newton, 31 years ago and never 
married. In earlier life he engaged in the business of cheese making and 
after the death of his father 14 years ago, moved to Manitowoc with his 
mother. He took up fishing, engaging in business for himself for a time. 
Later he joined with Felix Borths in the conduct of the fish business at 
the foot of South Ninth street. When Schuett did not appear to join Spaeth 
for the English Lake trip Sunday little was thought of it. But Monday when 
he failed to return to fill an engagement with Borths to make repairs on 
some nets alarm was felt for his safety and the police were notified. The 
drowning of Waldemar Schuett was the second violent death in the family. 
Six years ago his brother Arthur, employed on the trucks of the Goodrich-
West Ports company, was killed when he was caught by an overhead wire across 
Highway 141 and hurled to the pavement to his death. The mother and two 
sisters, Mrs. Hugh Jolin and Mrs. Fred Luebke, both of this city survive.

AMY SCHUETTE(sic) DIES LAST NIGHT AT 11 O'CLOCK
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schuette has been darkened by the 
death of their youngest daughter, Amy. Her death took place last 
night at 11 o'clock. It was not unexpected. For several months 
the child had been struggling against a disease which baffled the 
skill of physicians, even learned specialist.
It was the wonderful vitality of the child which sustained her so 
long against the ravages of the insidious disease.
Amy Schuette was a beautiful girl, just ten years old. Life had in 
it much that was sweet for her and she had exhaled much that was 
sweet amid her environment. But death, inexplicable mysterious, 
impartial, has separated her with all that her life meant to those 
nearest her from tangible, material things, beyond the ken of human 
vision to be recalled only by memory.
The sympathy of the entire community is with the bereaved family in 
their hour of gloom and sorrow.

ALBERT B. SCHUETTE   (d. 1919)

ALBERT SCHUETTE DIES AFTER ONE WEEK’S ILLNESS
Well Known Business Man, Head of Schuette Bros. Co. Passed Away This 
Morning Death Great Shock To City
“Tis the wink of an eye, tis the draught of a breath, from the blossom 
of health to the paleness of death.”
The truth of the words of the lamented poet was brought home to Manitowoc 
again today with announcement this morning of the death of Albert B. 
Schuette, president of the Schuette Bros. Company and one of the most 
prominent young men of the city. Mr. Schuette passed away at the home on 
North Thirteenth street at 6;30 o’clock this morning after an illness of 
a week from pneumonia. News of the death of Mr. Schuette was a great shock 
in the community where for years he had been recognized as one of the 
progressive business men of the county. Taken ill a week ago, Mr. Schuette 
suffered from a severe cold which developed pneumonia and on Saturday his 
condition became so serious that specialists were called from Milwaukee but 
were unable to save his life. Sunday there was a slight improvement in Mr. 
Schuette’s condition but the hope of the family was raised only to be 
crushed by the death of Mr. Schuette this morning. Few people were aware of 
Mr. Schuette’s serious illness and the announcement came as a surprise that 
added to the shock and sorrow of a large circle of friends. Identified with 
the Schuette Brothers company for years and as president of the concern, in 
which office he succeeded his late father, Mr. Schuette was one of the best 
known men of the county. He was active in many lines of civic endeavors, 
having been named as one of the original members when the board was organized 
(illegible) new system several years given by (illegible)During the war Mr. 
Schuette had taken an active part in the activities of the nation, in the 
Red Cross and in the Liberty loan campaigns and had given of his time and 
effort to the work which the government had carried on in this community. Mr. 
Schuette was a native of this city, having been born here on March 14, 1874 
being 45 at the time of his death. He attended the local schools graduating 
from the First Ward high School and later attended the University of Wisconsin 
where he graduated in 1895 in civic history and with a degree of Bachelor of 
Letters. Returning here he became associated with the Schuette Brothers Co. 
and during the subsequent years became active head of the interests which the 
company operated. Mr. Schuette is survived by his wife nee Anna Hentscher and 
one son, Donald, who is attending the university at Madison. His mother, Mrs. 
Fred Schuette and four sisters, Mrs. H.L. Banzhaf, of Milwaukee, Mrs. C.J. 
Reinfried, Mrs. Stanley Eckels and Miss Forence? Schuette also survive. Mr. 
Schuette was a member of the Masonic order and of the local lodge of Elks and 
was an officer of the local branch of the Loyalty Legion. The funeral which 
will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 from the late home 321 North Thirteenth 
street, will be in charge of the Masonic order. Mr. Schuette’s death takes 
from the community one of its most progressive and respected citizens. A young 
man of exceptional character and high ability he had achieved a success destined 
to grow with the years and his taking away in a life of business activity when 
apparently his energy was unimpaired is a sad blow to the community. He was 
possessed of a frank and a kindly disposition that made him popular in business 
circles and with employees of his company. Mr. Schuette was a hard worker, 
giving attention to every detail of the business of which he was head and which 
under his guidance was growing with rapid strides. Mr. Schuette was a lover of 
home and though burdened with a large business, he found time to enjoy his home 
and family and found his chief happiness in his home. The death of Mr. Schuette 
is the second within two years in the family, his father the late Fred Schuette, 
having passed away after a short illness less than a year ago. In two years four 
of the city’s most prominent business men have been called, including the late 
Thomas Torrison, Fred Schuette, Ex-Mayor William Rahr and now Albert Schuette. 
The Schuette Bros. Co. store is closed and will remain closed until after the 
funeral Wednesday.

AUGUST SCHUETTE

WELL KNOWN MERCHANT IS STRICKEN 
AUG. SCHUETTE DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME TODAY 
Pioneer Business Man Had Been Ill but Few Hours as End Came 
Life’s uncertainty was again emphasized to Manitowoc today in the 
sudden and unexpected death of August Schuette, pioneer merchant 
and one of the most widely known residents of the county. Mr. 
Schuette’s death which came as a great shock to the community with 
whose life he had been prominently identified for three score years, 
occurred at the family home on South Eighth street a few minutes 
after he had returned from the Schuette Bros. store, where he had 
gone a usual this morning for his day’s business.
Although Mr. Schuette was 79 years of age his health had been 
excellent and had caused no apprehension and when he complained of 
being tired this morning and said he would return home for a few 
hours rest, there was no thought that he would not be back at the 
store later in the day. He was stricken soon after reaching his 
home and expired before a physician could be summoned.
Stricken at Home 
Mr. Schuette had returned home in a cab and had just entered the 
house and seated himself when he collapsed. Mrs. Schuette was absent 
at the time and the maid who addressed him received no response and 
Mrs. Alois Lange, a neighbor, was hastily summoned and called Mr. 
Schuette’s son, Walter, at the store but before his arrival at the 
house the end came. Death was due to heart failure. 
News of the death of Mr. Schuette spread through the city and the 
suddenness of the demise added to the shock which it carried. 
Expressions of sincere regret were heard in all sides and in business 
circles and circles in which Mr. Schuette was best known, the loss to 
the city was emphasized. The Schuette Bros. Co. store was closed 
immediately and will remain closed until after the funeral arrangements 
for which await the return of Paul Schuette, son of the decedent who 
was in Chicago at the sad happening but will return this evening.
Pioneer Merchant of City 
August Schuette was one of the pioneer merchants of Manitowoc and 
probably the oldest actve business man of the city at his death. He 
was born July 12, 1847 and became a resident here at the age of one 
year when his parents located in the city, his father John Schuette, 
Sr., engaging in the mercantile business which in its development is 
today represented by the mammoth store of the Schuette Bros. Co. 
Educated in the local schools, Mr. Schuette later attended Wittman 
academy and at the age of 17 was granted a teachers’ certificate 
unusual to one of that age in earlier days. Mr. Schuette later became 
identified with his brothers in the business of Schuette Bros. Co., 
in which he has been active for a half century and during the last 
nine years has been president. 
Interested in Farmer
During his long career in business Mr. Schuette had been in close 
touch with agricultural development in the county and probably no 
man was more widely known to the rural sections than he. For many 
years he had been in charge of the farm produce department of the 
Schuette store which was the first in the city to pay cash for farm 
produce, and he was always ready to welcome and assist farmers who 
sought his help and advice. In the rural communities of Manitowoc 
county the death of Mr. Schuette will be learned with deep sorrow.
Leaves Wife, Four Children 
Mr. Schuette was married on November 27, 1878 to Hattie Hottelmann, 
who with four children, Paul and Walter of this city, Mrs. Roland 
Teitgen, Milwaukee and Mrs. Irma Scove, of Santa Anna, Cal., survive 
him. One brother George Schuette and nine grandchildren also survive. 
Mr. Schuette was the youngest but one of the family of John Schuette, 
Sr. He was one of the members of the pioneer German Singing societies 
of the city, now merged, and was an active participant in the affairs 
of the organization. A lover of home and family Mr. Schuette had not 
identified himself with many organizations of fraternal character, 
his membership in the Eagles having been but recently taken up.
Universally Esteemed 
A man who possessed in a marked degree those attributes of personality 
and character that win and hold friends, Mr. Schuette was universally 
esteemed. He was a man of keen judgment, approachable at all times and 
his friendship was valued by all who possessed it. His life, 
practically all in this community, is a tribute to his character. 
Stores Close for Funeral 
As a mark of esteem to Mr. Schuette, and indication—the high place he 
held in the business world merchants of the city today announced that 
stores would be closed during the hours of the funeral. 
Manitowoc Herald News, Wednesday, May 19, 1926  P. 1
*******
August Schuette, president of the Schuette Bros. Company of Manitowoc, 
and a man to whom Manitowoc owes much, died suddenly at his home in 
that city yesterday from a heart attack.
The death of this pioneer of Manitowoc county is more than a local loss, 
for he was not only head of a great business that extended into all 
sections of that county, but he participated, even at his advanced age, 
in every worth-while movement inaugurated in this section of the state. 
When agitation was on, some two years ago, for a Safe Drivers’ Club in 
Manitowoc, Mr. Schuette was one of the most enthusiastic supporters, and 
in the Elks Club one night he made an appeal that did not fall upon deaf 
ears. 
The Schuette Bros. Company is an institution that has been known in this 
section of the state for more than three-quarters of a century. John 
Schuette, Sr., was the original founder of the business. In 1822 he 
engaged in the store business in Charleston, South Carolina, and later 
in Norfolk Virginia. These early-day experiences qualified him for his 
later success. The eighteen years between 1830 and 1848 were spent in 
Germany. Returning to this country, he came directly to Manitowoc, and 
in May, 1849, erected a small frame building and founded what is the 
Schuette store, on the same corner where the large building stands 
today. 
The senior Mr. Schuette passed away in 1862 at the age of seventy-four 
years, and two of his sons succeeded to the business, Henry and John. 
Later, August became identified with the business and when it was 
incorporated in 1901, the four Schuette brothers and two of their sons 
became interested, along with Mr. Alter. In 1917, when Fred Schuette 
passed away, Mr. Schuette was elected president of the concern, and 
though well advanced in years, he was a persistent worker, 
characteristic of that family.
It is a great store based upon honesty and square dealing, and its 
influence is felt because of the character of the men that have been 
identified with it from time to time. Business of this character is not 
built in a day or a year, but is the handiwork of men who formulate and 
carry out certain principles which give people confidence in the 
institution. That is why the name sometimes is more of an asset than 
the stock contained within the walls of the building.
Mr. Schuette, who has just closed his early career, believed in Manitowoc 
and her institutions, and any time that an individual is sold upon a city, 
his influence is one of her strongest assets. So it was with him. As a 
member of the Safe Drivers’ Club, he was running true to form, rendering 
service to the community of which he was a part. So we might go on and 
list a number of activities in which he played a part, and their success 
attests to the high character of August Schuette.

CATHERINE SCHUETTE

DEATH CAUSED BY THE GRIP
Had Lived in One House for Half a Century; Mother and Grandmother of Prominent Citizens
At 10:30 o'clock this morning the early career of one of the oldest and most 
respected residents of this city terminated in a quiet and peaceful death. Mrs. 
Catherine Schuette, who for nearly half a century has watched the growth of the 
city and whose family has had much to do with its development, died in the same 
house in which she has lived during her long residence here. She was rapidly 
approaching her 88th year.
Mrs. Schuette was born at Oldenburg, Germany in May, 1811. She and her husband 
emigrated to this country in 1849. They first settled in Cedarburg, Wis., but 
came to Manitowoc the following year. Here she has lived since and seen her 
children and her grandchildren grow to manhood and womanhood. All this time she 
has lived in the second story of the building at the corner of Eighth and Jay 
streets and has observed the small store started by her husband in the room below 
in the days when Manitowoc was a struggling frontier village, grow into the 
enormous business now conducted by her sons. Often she has been coaxed to give 
up her residence at that place and to accept a home with one of her sons or else 
consent to move into more commodius and quiet quarters in some other part of the 
city, but the associations of the old place formed too strong ties to be thus 
easily snapped. And in spite of arguments and inducements offered, she has 
preferred to say in the building which was the scene of all her joys and sorrows 
during the prime of her life.
Her eldest son, Henry, lived with her until he died three years ago. Death came 
softly and quietly and with gentle hand removed that mysterious spark called life. 
She was taken down with an attack of the grip last Saturday. Being old and feeble, 
she was unable to withstand its ravages. At about seven o'clock this morning she 
became unconscious and remained so most of the time until a few hours ago she 
passed without a sign of pain or suffering.
She was the mother of nine children, six of whom are still living. They are: John, 
President of the Manitowoc Savings Bank and proprietor of the Oriental Flour Mill., 
August and Fred of the firm of Schuette Bros., Mrs. Bloquelle, mother of Judge 
Baensch and Mrs. Alter, mother of Gust, Oscar and Otto Alter. All of her children 
were present at the time of her death with the exception of August and Mrs. 
Bloquelle, who were sick and unable to be there. Besides her six children, Mrs. 
Schuette was proud of nineteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, all 
of whom are living in this city.
Mrs. Schuette was a woman of a cheerful disposition and an active and brilliant 
mind. Up to her last illness it was one of the delights of her sons to spend a 
portion of each day, so far as was possible, to pleasant conversation with her 
and she was often consulted on matters of great importance. Although almost all 
of the intimate friends of her earlier day have long ago passed on before her, 
she still has a large circle who loved her amiable qualities and admired her 
abilities. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been perfected. Schuette 
Bros. Store will be closed until Monday or until after the funeral.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Jan. 5, 1899 page 1
******
Mrs. Catharine Schuette died this morning after a brief illness. She was the mother 
of John, Fred, August and George Schuette, well known businessmen of this city. 
She was in her 88th year, having been born in Oldenburg, May 23, 1811.  She 
came to America with her family in 1848 and settled in Manitowoc in 1849, and 
lived in the same house up to the time of her death, a period of almost 50 years. 
She was the mother of nine children, six of whom are living. She was a most devoted 
mother and never did a mother deserve or receive more filial respect. Her death was 
easy and her sickness brief. She was a woman of strong character and warmly attached 
to her friends.

EDWIN SCHUETTE   (d. 1948)

Edwin Schuette, Veteran Banker, Dies at His Home 
In Banking Circles 55 Years; Had Been Ill for Several Months 
Edwin Schuette, 79, chairman of the board of the Manitowoc Savings 
bank and active in banking circles here for 55 years, died this 
morning at the family home, 610 Park street. He had been in failing 
health several months. 
Funeral plans are incomplete and will be announced Tuesday. 
Mr. Schuette retired from active banking in 1947, when he was 
succeeded as president of the bank by his son, Henry. 
He was born in this city in 1869, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. 
John Schuette. He entered the employ of the bank in 1893. The bank 
was founded by his father in 1884. Prior to that he had been employed 
in the offices of the Schuette Bros. company for six years and in that 
span also worked at times in the bank.
Mr. Schuette advanced from assistant cashier to head of the institution, 
being elected to succeed his brother, the late Louis Schuette, when the 
latter retired from active banking a few years ago. Last year he retired 
as president to be succeeded by his son, Henry, and became chairman of 
the board. 
He was an ardent yachtsman and took a keen interest in the city’s marine 
life. He possessed one of the largest collections of marine pictures in 
the nation, which he built up in his spare time and which is a pictorial 
review of the Great Lakes and Manitowoc marine history from the days of 
the early sailing vessels to the modern freighters. 
In 1943 Mr. Schuette, rounding out 50 years in the banking business here, 
was one of eight Wisconsin bankers honored by the Wisconsin Bankers 
association at Milwaukee, being admitted to the “Fifty Year club.” He was 
a member of the Manitowoc lodge of Elks.

FRED SCHUETTE  (d. 1917)

EX-MAYOR FRED SCHUETTE, HEAD SCHUETTE BROS CO., 
DIES SUNDAY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Had Been Identified With Business Interests of City for More than 
Half Century and Was Widely Known. One of Founders of County Fair
Fred Schuette, ex-mayor, president of the Schuette Bros. company and 
one of the most prominent businessmen of Manitowoc county, died at the 
family home on South Eighth street shortly after noon Sunday, aged 73 
years, news of the death of Mr. Schuette coming as a surprise and shock 
to the community, few persons knowing that he was critically ill. 
Widespread sorrow was expressed about the city over the announcement. 
Mr. Schuette’s death followed a critical illness of less than a week, 
during most of which time he was able to be about. Saturday his condition 
became alarming and Dr. Lemon, a noted surgeon of Milwaukee was called 
in consultation and gave little hope. Sunday morning Mr. Schuette became 
unconscious and at 1 o’clock passed away. Members of the immediate family 
were at his bedside when the end came. 
Underwent Operation. 
Two months ago Mr. Schuette underwent an operation for appendicitis at 
the hospital but had apparently recovered and though he had not attempted 
to give the close application to his business interest for which he was 
known before his illness, he had visited the store daily up to a week ago. 
He failed to regain his old-time strength and had consulted specialists 
at Milwaukee and was hopeful of early restoration. Friends had not known 
that Mr. Schuette’s condition was serious and the announcement of his 
demise came as a shock. 
In Business 55 Years. 
Mr. Schuette had been engaged in the mercantile business in this city for 
55 years and was known throughout the county and in the state as one of 
the leading business men of this section. Born at Bremen, Germany, Dec. 2, 
1844, Mr. Schuette came to America with his parents in 1848 and a year 
later the family located in Manitowoc where in May, 1849, John Schuette, 
father of the decedent, established a store from which the present mammoth 
business of Schuette Bros. company has grown. Mr. Schuette’s father died 
in 1863 and the store was conducted by John and Henry Schuette, sons. 
Later Fred Schuette became a member of the company and August and George 
Schuette also became associated and the firm became known as the Schuette 
Bros. 
Was President of the Co. 
For years, and at the time of his death, Fred Schuette was president of 
the company and directed the vast interests of the concern. He was familiar 
with every detail of the business and was recognized as one of the most 
successful business men of the city. For two years, in 1868 to 1870 Mr. 
Schuette sailed a schooner owned by his company and operated between this 
city and Chicago and Milwaukee. 
Served City as Mayor. 
Mr. Schuette had always taken an active interest in public affairs and 
served several terms as a member of the city council and later as mayor 
of the city, having been elected in 1890 and served until 1894. It was 
during Mr. Schuette’s administration as chief executive of the city that 
the water works was installed, though the franchise to the old Water 
Works company was passed under the previous administration. Mr. Schuette 
gave much time and attention to the installation of the water works system, 
insisting upon the city securing the best possible service. On account of 
Mr. Schuette’s activity and the great interest taken by him in construction 
of the water works plant, Engineer Goodhue, who was in charge of the work, 
dedicated a book on municipal affairs to Mr. Schuette. 
Served on Co. Board. 
Mr. Schuette also served as a member of the county board and was a member 
of the First ward school board for years. As a member of the county board 
he devoted much attention to the work of equalization of the taxes of the 
county. Mr. Schuette was an active member of the volunteer fire department 
in days before the city had a paid department and when he was mayor was 
much interested in efficiency of the department and in later years also 
gave much encouragement and aid to plans for bettering of equipment and 
service. 
One of Founders of Co. Fair. 
Another public benefaction of Mr. Schuette was his participation in the 
organization of the first Manitowoc County Fair association thirty years 
ago when with other business men of the city, he planned the organization 
which has existed since and which has conducted an annual fair, except for 
one or two years since. Mr. Schuette always evinced a keen interest in the 
county fair and assisted in every way to promote its interests. 
Helped City Industries. 
Mr. Schuette, though known for conservatism in business, was ever ready to 
lend his aid in advancement of the city’s industrial growth and had been 
identified with many projects looking to the development of city industries. 
He was active in the founding of the old Seating company and gave liberally 
in support of movements for establishment of new industries, believing that 
the welfare of the city was the welfare of its people and he was always 
called conference when new projects were taken up. 
Surviving Family. 
Mr. Schuette was a man who loved his home and his interests centered in his 
home and family. He is survived by a widow and five children, Mrs. H. L. 
Banzhaff, Milwaukee; Mrs. Charles Reinfried, Mrs. Stanley Eckels, Albert and 
Miss Florence Schutte, this city. Three brothers, John, August and 
George, and two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Alter and Mrs. Blouquell also survive. 
Store Closed Until Funeral. 
The Schuette Bros. company store was closed today and will remain closed 
until Thursday morning. The funeral of Mr. Schuette will be held from the 
late home Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Schuette was a member of the Elks lodge 
and of the Chamber of Commerce.

H. GEORGE SCHUETTE

H. George Schuette Dies At 85; Funeral Saturday 
President of Department Store Company Was Ill Several Weeks 
H. George Schuette, 85, last of the immediate John Schuette Sr. family 
associated with the founding of Schuette Bros. department store, died 
in his apartment early today after an illness of seven weeks.
The funeral will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. from the Wattawa, Urbanek 
and Schlei funeral home, the Rev. D. G. Ristad of the First Lutheran 
church officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. The body may 
be viewed at the funeral home until the time of the services. 
The deceased was the youngest son of John Schuette Sr., founder of the 
store in 1849, and the last of five sons and two daughters. 
Mr. Schuette died in his quarters in the store building which is on the 
site of his birthplace. 
He was president of Schuette Bros. Co. and never married. 
His death was expected. Only a week ago he summoned his nephews to his 
bedside for a final family gathering in his presence. 
The deceased was of a retiring disposition. In addition to his business 
duties he found time to devote to music, art, history, and the collection 
of historical relics and data. In his earlier years he was active in 
aiding and fostering musical groups and societies with which he was 
affiliated.
In addition to his literary efforts and his research of ancient history, 
Mr. Schuette was a great lover of music. He wrote the words and lyrics 
of many songs, some of which he published. The most notable of these was 
the martial number, “Our Nation Grand,” which he composed and published 
during the World war. 
Wrote Novel 
The most pretentious of Mr. Schuette’s literary efforts, strangely enough, 
was known to only a few of his closest relatives and friends. It is a 
400-page noval titled “Athonia, or the Original ‘400’” written in the early 
years of the present century and copyrighted by the author in 1910. It was 
published in New York and entered at Stationer’s hall, London, and although 
it was generally read among lovers of literature Mr. Schuette insisted that 
the book not be circulated in Manitowoc.
“Athonia” is a historical novel looking backward to 900 B.C. and is sprinkled 
throughout with numerous poems. The author spent several years in research 
work of early Grecian history before starting on the book.
H. George Schuette was born at the site of the Schuette store May 16, 1850, 
the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schuette Sr. There were four brothers, 
John, Henry, Fred and August, and two sisters, Mrs. Gesine Bloquelle and Mrs. 
Mattie Alter. 
Joined Father 
The deceased enrolled in the southside schools and was graduated from the 
first ward high school. He entered the employ of his father in the mercantile 
business and in later years became a member of the firm. He was for years in 
charge of the men’s clothing department of the company. 
Nine years ago, following the death of August Schuette, a brother, the deceased 
was elected president of the company operating the department store. He continued 
to make his home in apartments at the store where he lived uninterruptedly for 
most of his 85 years. 
In addition to his love of music and literature the deceased was greatly 
interested in astronomy. His collection of Indian relics, consisting of several 
hundred specimens of stone and copper relics, occupies a glass case in the 
store. 
Mr. Schuette was for years a member of the Wisconsin State Historical society. 
In the early days of German singing societies in the city Mr. Schuette enrolled 
as a member of the Concordia society and when it was consolidated in later years 
with the Freier Saengerbund he continued his membership and was a regular 
attendant at meetings and practice sessions of these two societies.
With Opera Company 
Mr. Schuette was a member of the Turner Opera House company formed by members 
of the Turners to operate the old Turner Hall on Washington street, which was 
razed a few years ago. He served in an executive capacity with this organization 
and the minutes of the company show him taking an active part in financing the 
south side property.
The deceased, during the later years of his life, contributed many poetic gems 
to the daily press. His greatest thrill, according to friends, resulted from the 
acclaim given a historical song and march “Our Nation Grand,” which was composed 
during the war. This was played and sung by the Marine band at summer concerts 
here. Other songs from Mr. Schuette’s pen included “American Girl” and “American 
Beauty.”
Mr. Schuette, at gatherings with close friends, delighted in telling of many 
early day incidents in Manitowoc. He recalled interestingly the famous Indian 
scare in the city when reports that Indians, bent on massacring the populace, 
were marching in force on Manitowoc.
He led a movement among graduates of the southside high school in the first ward 
to organize the first high school alumni association in Manitowoc. 
Mr. Schuette never sought public office although he was always interested in 
the civic and industrial advancement of the city.
Survivors are seven nephews, Edward and Louis Schuette, Emil Baensch, Gust and 
Oscar Alter, Paul and Walter Schuette, and nine nieces, Miss Gesine Schuette, 
Mrs. Rose S. Babcock, Mrs. Albert Schuette, Mrs. Stanley Eckel, Mrs. C. J. 
Reinfried, all of this city; Mrs. Henry Banzhaf, and Mrs. Roland Teitgen, 
Milwaukee; Mrs. William Gregg, Los Angeles, Calif.; and Mrs. Owen Ayres, 
Eau Claire.

HENRY SCHUETTE    (d. 1896)

Mr. Heinrich Schuette has died here after a long illness. 
He was born 05 Jan. 1835 in Oldenburg and came to America 
with his parents in 1848, living with them in Cedarburg. 
When the family moved to Manitowoc in 1849, he remained in
Cedarburg where he was employed as a clerk in a local store. 
Later he came to Manitowoc where he learned the tinsmith 
trade, eventually joining his father’s firm, J. Schütte & 
Son. In 1876, on a trip to Philadelphia, he fell while 
climbing aboard a streetcar and broke a hip, rendering one 
leg useless for the rest of his life. Despite his handicap 
he maintained his interest in the firm and its activities, 
as well as operating a farm near the city. He enjoyed good 
health until falling ill with the grippe that took his life. 
An extremely large number of people attended the funeral that 
took place Tues. afternoon at the city cemetery.

*********
From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - (1896)
Henry Schuette, of this city, died on Sunday morning last. He has 
been an invalid for the past twenty years, having sustained an 
injury in Philadelphia in 1876 which forced him to lead a retired 
life ever since.
He was born in the Duchy of Oldenburg in 1835 and came to this 
country in 1848 settling in Cedarburg with his father. In 1849 he 
came to Manitowoc where his father went into business. Henry was 
the oldest of the boys in 1857, he and his brother, John, became 
partners in the business, the firm being known as Schuette & Son. 
In 1874 he disposed of his interest in the store, but on in the 
organization of the Savings Bank, took an interest in it as well 
as in the Electric Light Co.
He was never married and since receiving his injury in 1876 seldom 
appeared in public. But his retired life did not make him morose. 
He kept track of public affairs and his sagacity as a businessman 
never failed him. He was a man of strong convictions and had a 
wonderful insight into business matters. It was almost an instinct 
with him. The brothers who were actively engaged in business and in 
the turmoil of daily life always consulted this man who led the life 
of a recluse and his judgement never failed. He became a great reader 
of the periodicals and though taking no part in daily affairs, he was 
always well informed regarding them. His reading made him associates 
and he grew in breadth of view though apart from society. He had no 
narrowness and but few prejudices. He was very close to his brothers 
and his mother, much more than is usually the case when the demands 
of mature years causes family affection to grow weak.

H. C. SCHUETTE IS FATALLY HURT IN CRASH 
Former Sheriff and Contractor Dies At Hospital After Car Leaves Road 
Herman C. Schuette, 65, of Four Corners, former sheriff and local contractor, 
was fatally injured yesterday afternoon when his car left Highway 141 just 
south of Francis Creek and crashed down an embankment through a wire fence. 
Mr. Schuette died at the Holy Family hospital at 2 a.m. today. He suffered a 
crushed chest, a broken leg and severe shock.
It was the first highway fatality in Manitowoc county this year.
According to Sheriff Norman Berkedal, Mr. Schuette was driving north, going 
around the curve about three quarters of a mile south of Francis Creek when 
the accident occurred. His car cut sharply to the right side of the road, 
careened along the shoulder and then headed across the road to the left side, 
plunged down a ten foot embankment and crashed into a fence. The car remained 
on its four wheels and was not badly damaged. 
Mr. Schuette was rushed to the Holy Family hospital in the sheriff’s ambulance. 
A Colorful Career 
Death of Mr. Schuette ends a colorful career extending over a 50?? year period 
in this city in which he served as alderman, sheriff, postmaster, engaged in 
the livery stable, street and general contracting business and also headed his 
own realty company. 
Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the Shimek & Schwartz 
funeral home. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Schuette started his active life as a boy of 15 when he came to the city 
from the farm home of his parents in Kossuth, where he was born in 1874. He 
secured employment with Henry Schmidt in the latter’s livery stable on Franklin 
street, adjoining the Franklin street fire station. In those days fire apparatus 
was pulled by teams from the livery stable. 
He slept at the station and on fire calls drove one of the horsedrawn fire trucks. 
When a young man he entered the employ of the Miller Cement company to learn the 
trade. He later organized the Schuette Cement Construction Company which built a 
plant at Franklin and 18th street for manufacture of cement building blocks. He 
also took charge of a livery stable on Quay street and later established a modern 
livery on Washington street on the present site of the Manitowoc National bank.
Mr. Schuette became a partner of Michael and Henry Murphy in the Murphy 
Construction company which engaged in the street and highway paving work in 
Manitowoc and many state cities. 
When associated with the Murphy Construction Company Mr. Schuette was in active 
charge of much of the early paving work here shortly after the turn of the century. 
The company laid the brick paving on Washington and Franklin streets.

He was active in Democratic politics in this county, serving for many years as 
chairman of the Democratic County Committee. He was elected sheriff on the 
Democratic ticket in 1912 for a two-year term, after serving three years as a 
deputy sheriff. He was also prominent in municipal politics and served two terms 
as First Ward alderman in the City Council.
Following his retirement from the sheriff’s office at the end of 1915, he was 
appointed postmaster by President Woodrow Wilson.
He took a leave of absence from the postmasters job in 1919 to organize the 
Manitowoc Construction Company with Fred Schoch, Joseph Kestly?? and his son, 
Russell Schuette. The company embarked on a heavy building program which included 
paving of city streets and construction of many large business places and public 
buildings.
New construction by his company included the Commerce building, Vocational school, 
Vita natatorium and Immanuel Lutheran church. State jobs included miles of highways 
in central and eastern Wisconsin.
Mr. Schuette headed the Schuette Realty Company, which platted a large section of 
territory at the north end of the city between Pine street and Reed avenue. It was 
laid out in the building lots in a program of construction, in which the Schuette 
Company built many homes.
Elected Sheriff again.
In 1932, Mr. Schuette disposed of his holdings in the contracting firm to the Hamann 
Construction company, and again became a candidate for sheriff on the Democratic 
ticket. He was elected and served in 1933 and 1934. 
In April 1935 Mr. Schuette purchased the tavern property at Four Corners from the 
Mary McFarland estate which he took over and with his wife, and son, Ward, continued 
to operate since that time. 
Mr. Schuette was active for years in lodge and fraternal circles here. He was 
president of the Manitowoc aerie of Eagles and until recent years, was a member 
of the Manitowoc lodge of Elks. 
Forty-five years ago he married Miss Minnie Massman of this city. She survives with

daughters, Mrs. Charles Drumm of this city; Mrs. Richard Rice of  Boston, Mass.; 
two brothers, Otto of this city and William of Rockwood; sister, Mrs. William

HUGO SCHUETTE    (d. 1882)

DIED:
On Friday Jan. 20, 1882. Hugo, son of Fred and Laura Schuette, aged three years 
and seventeen days.
The child that was brought to its last resting place last Sunday afternoon was 
the pet of the family, bright as a sunbeam, and its death is like the setting 
sun,-leaving the world in gloomy darkness.
And yet, "we cannot say that death is not a good. Neither can we tell which is 
the more fortunate, the child dying in its mother's arms, before it knows the 
cares of life, or the who journeys all the lenght (sic) of life's uneven road, 
painfully taking the slow steps with staff and crutch. If those who press and 
strain against our hearts could never die perhaps that love would wither from 
the earth. Another life is naught, unless we know and love again those who love 
us here. The largest and the nobler faith in all that is, and is to be, tells 
us that death, even at its worst, is only perfect rest. They who stand with 
breaking hearts around this little grave, need have no fear. There is for them 
this consolation. The dead do not suffer. If they live again, their lives will 
surely be as good as ours."

JOHN SCHUETTE RETURNS FROM VISIT AT CEDARBURG, FIRST IN 25 YEARS, 
FINDS HOUSE FATHER BUILT
A house which his father built back in 1848 when the family made 
their home there, was found standing at Cedarburg by John Schuette, 
president of the Manitowoc Savings bank when he visited the village 
south of Sheboygan last week while on a trip on the lake shore to 
renew the days of his youth. Mr. Schuette visited Milwaukee and 
stopped at Cedarburg for his first visit to the village in twenty 
five years. He found some changes, but there were many landmarks 
which he recognized and which he says renewed his youth. The old 
mill which operated when his family lived there, is still standing 
and the frame dwelling which was erected by his father nearly 70 
years ago is intact. Mr. Schuette’s family came here shortly after 
the house was built at Cedarburg.

JOHN SCHUETTE, WELL KNOWN BANKER OF CITY, PASSES AWAY 
Death Came Suddenly and on Eve of His Retirement from May Years of Business 
John Schuette, prominent banker, ex-mayor and former member of the 
United States Harbor commission, for more than sixty years a leader 
in business, commercial and civic life, died suddenly Saturday evening 
at the home of Otto Alter, 624 North Tenth street, after an illness of 
only one day. Death was due to a heart stroke and the announcement came 
to the community as a great shock and keen sorrow.
Headed Many Enterprises. 
Mr. Schuette’s death occurred upon the eve of his retirement from active 
business after a career of more than fifty years during which he had been 
identified with many enterprises, including the Schuette Bros. company of 
which he was founder, the Manitowoc Savings bank, the Oriental Mills, 
Manitowoc Electric Light company, the East Wisconsin Canning company, the 
East Wisconsin Trustee company and others. Mr. Schuette, who despite his 
82 years, continued an active interest in business affairs, was at the 
bank and about town on Friday and greeted friends apparently in his usual 
health. Friday evening he suffered an attack and although he seemed to 
improve, his death came suddenly as he rested on a couch, shortly after 
8 o’clock Saturday evening. Mr. Schuette’s daughter, Mrs. Babcock of 
Milwaukee, was with him when death came and his brothers, August and 
George Schuette, had stepped into another room but a short time 
previously.
To members of his family and to intimate friends, Mr. Schuette announced 
only a few days ago that he planned to retire from business, turning the 
bank over to his sons, together with his other interests and contemplating 
spending the winter in Florida accompanied by his daughter, Miss Gesine 
Schuette, who made her home with her father. Mr. Schuette had prepared an 
announcement to be made public immediately after Christmas and had submitted 
it to his sons, and details of the plan were being arranged when death 
overtook him.
Died Away from Home 
Mr. Schuette’s home had been quarantined for several days owing to the 
illness of a maid and he had been at the Alter home. After the attack Friday 
evening Mr. Schuette expressed desire to return to his own home, possibly 
anticipating that his end was near and wishing to be at home when it came, 
the quarantine still being in effect. 
Came Here in Youth 
Mr. Schuette was born at Delmanhorst, near Bremen, Germany, in September 1837, 
and came to Manitowoc with his father as a youth of 12 years, and had continued 
his residence here ever since. He assisted his father in the mercantile business 
but in 1866 he was named a member of the harbor commission of the United States 
government and in 1867 was awarded a contract for dredging of the harbor when 
the government started work upon the present harbor. He was engaged in this up 
to 1871. Mr. Schuette was the found of the Schuette Bros. company and for a 
number of years was sole owner of the business but in 1870 his brothers became 
associated with him as partners. 
Founds Savings Bank 
In 1884 Mr. Schuette disposed of his interests in the mercantile business and 
organized the Manitowoc Savings bank of which he continued as president up to 
the time of his death. Previous to this, in 1874, Mr. Schuette built the Oriental 
Mills which he continued an active interest in, later turning the business over 
to his sons. 
In 1889 Mr. Schuette built the electric light plant which he operated until 1913 
when he disposed of it to the city, having been an advocate of municipal ownership 
and having, at the time he served as mayor, recommended on frequent occasions the 
necessity of public ownership of utilities. When the negotiations for purchase by 
the city of the lighting plant were taken up Mr. Schuette evidenced a spirit of 
fairness that made the consummation of the transfer an easy matter, and but for 
provisions of the state law the usual proceedings would not have been necessary. 
After the city became owner of the plant Mr. Schuette co-operated in every way 
in its success. 
Other Projects 
Mr. Schuette’s business connections were wide and varied. In 1900 he founded the 
East Wisconsin Canning company which was operated successfully for several years 
and the plant later sold to the Port Washington Chair company which operated it 
until the factory was destroyed by fire. The East Wisconsin Trustee company was 
one of the later instititutions with which Mr. Schuette was identified and in 
years past he was one of the promoters and a director of the old dry dock company 
which was established by citizens here. 
Served in Senate
In 1875, Mr. Schuette who took a prominent part in politics of the state and nation 
as a republican leader, was elected a member of the state senate and served for two 
years. Mr. Schuette served as an alderman and for five terms as mayor of the city. 
Throughout his life, he maintained a keen interest in public affairs and was much 
interested in the League of Nations and world peace and had contributed many 
articles to the local and outside papers of his views which were given consideration 
by the leading men in public affairs. Age did not impair Mr. Schuette’s faculties and 
the keen mind which he possessed gave thought and utterances on public questions that 
carried weight.
Public Benefaction 
Ever interested in his home city, its growth and development, Mr. Schuette was 
generous in support of enterprises that would build up Manitowoc. Conservative 
in business, Mr. Schuette was always willing to lend support to projects which 
in his estimation would benefit the town and to his efforts and support many of 
the present day institutions owe their success. Mr. Schuette improved and donated 
to the city Riverside park, one of the beauty spots, and for years he had given 
his personal attention to maintaining the park and beautifying it. The park is 
located on North Water Street, adjacent to the Schuette home and overlooks the 
river.
Wife Precedes Him In Death 
Mr. Schuette was married in 1867 to Rosa Stauss who preceded him in death in 1904. 
A few years ago Mr. Schuette paid tribute to his life companion in a booklet which 
he wrote and published under the title of “Rose and John,” the book being a history 
of the life of the couple, their failures and successes and contained much that 
revealed the strong character of the writer and his keen insight into life. The 
death of Mrs. Schuette occurred just after the completion of the palatial home which 
Mr. Schuette had erected for the couple to spend their declining years and was a 
severe shock to him from the effects of which he never fully recovered. 
Mr. Schuette is survived by five children, two sons, Louis and Edwin who were 
associated with him in the banking business; Mrs. Robert Walker of Menominee, Mich.; 
Mrs. Charles Babcock of Milwaukee and Miss Gesine Schuette, of this city.
Mr. Schuette was a member of the state and national bankers’ association and was 
prominent in both organizations. Some years ago he attracted nationwide attention 
in banking circles by advocacy of a plan of ineruance for bank deposits and his 
articles received wide circulation throughout the United States. 
The death of Mr. Schuette removed one of the men who, more than any other, has 
been identified with Manitowoc’s life, industrial, commercial and civic and the 
imprint of his life is left with the city of his long residence. His death is a 
loss to the community and will be keenly felt.
The funeral of Mr. Schuette will be private and will be held from the late home 
Tuesday afternoon. Friends will please omit flowers.

THE PASSING OF JOHN SCHUETTE 
With the passing of John Schuette the Herald-News desires to call attention to 
the outstanding feature of this man’s life, best exemplified in the activities 
and convictions manifested in the late war—his innate love of America.
Here indeed was a patriot. Of German parentage, born in the Fatherland, he 
should from his very heritage have taken the position many of his fellow 
citizens did—a sympathetic feeling toward the land of his birth, a lukewarm 
allegiance to the land of his adoption. 
But this can be said of John Schuette: A man of strong convictions and firm in 
his ideas of right and wrong, he never wavered one iota from unswerving loyalty 
to America. A man of resource and force, he co-ordinated all his faculties to 
one end, that of doing all he could individiually and by example to help win 
the war. 
To the citizens of Manitowoc he was a shining example of what a real American 
should be. There was not fear in his heart when it came to an expression of 
views. He never failed to cross swords with friends, who had pro-Germanic 
leanings and openly and warmly espoused the cause of Americanism.
And in the crucial period of the war, Manitowoc had need for men of John 
Schuette’s character.

Flying into History...
Business continued to grow under the leadership founder of John A. Schuette. Mr. 
Schuette, a WWI aviator, created the aircraft division of the company in the late 
1920’s. The Invincible Center Wing monoplane was the result. “Wings are placed 
in alignment with the center of the propeller thrust, giving balance and greater 
speed under all flying conditions.” 
Three different models were produced. But, as the local paper reported in 1979, 
“Although the aircraft built by Invincible were advanced for their day, the three 
planes designed were the only ones built. Further production of the aircraft was 
rudely interrupted by the Depression.” Photo

LEONA SCHUETTE

Death of 17-year old Leona, daughter of Otto Schuette, in Kossuth on Friday
after a short illness with appendicitis. The funeral was Sunday.
Der Nord Westen, 07 Mar. 1907
*********
DIED:
Miss Leona Schuette, the 17 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schuette 
of the town of Kossuth, died of appendicitis last Friday morning, after an 
illness of but four days.
Miss Leona Schuette's death is a sad blow to the bereaved family, and the 
mournful tidings of the young girl's unexpected and almost sudden summons to 
the Great Beyond came as a shock to a large number of friends in Kossuth, this 
city and elsewhere in the county. She had always been a healthy girl. She had 
a kind and lovable disposition, and her many noble maidenly qualities had won 
her the esteem of all who knew her. She was a joy to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Otto Schuette, who have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in their sore 
affliction. May the grief of the bereaved family be lightened by the consciousness 
that a large number of friends of the departed also sorrow for the untimely 
departure of the young soul that has taken its flight from this vale of tears to 
where anguish and sorrow are unknown!
The funeral was held last Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the family home in 
Kossuth, the Rev. George Grether, pastor of the German Reformed church of this 
city, officiating, and interment taking place at the Lutheran cemetery in Kossuth. 
The funeral cortege was one of the very largest ever seen in the town of Kossuth, 
there being fully two hundred teams in the procession. The casket was laden with 
many floral offerings, the tribute of loving friends; and many an eye was moist 
with tears when the remains of Leona Schuette were placed in their final resting 
place.
The deceased was 17 years, 2 months and 7 days old at the time of her demise.

ROSA SCHUETTE

SAD MESSAGE COMES TO FRIENDS
Unexpected Death of Mrs. John Schuette at Milwaukee.
WAS ILL ONLY A FEW DAYS 
Suffered Attack of Illness Late Last Week and Succumbs Within Short 
Time-Life Work Ended.
Many friends were painfully shocked by the announcement that came from Milwaukee 
this morning of the death of Mrs. John Schuette, of this city which occurred at 
St. Mary's hospital in that city as the result of the shock of an operation which 
she underwent Saturday last. Mrs. Schuette had been at Milwaukee for ten days, 
having gone there to consult a specialist on account of trouble which she had 
been having with her eyes and was taken ill last week. An operation was recommended 
and performed, the shock proving too much for the weakened vitality of the patient 
and death resulted. Reports from the hospital, even as late as Monday, were 
encouraging of a speedy recovery and the announcement of the demise of Mrs. Schuette 
was entirely unexpected by the family and friends. The remains will be brought to 
the home here but funeral arrangements have not been completed.
In summoning Mrs. Schuette the messenger of death brought the sorrow of personal 
loss to many homes of the city. Although of a retiring disposition and more a 
lover of home and family than the duties a social life would entail the decedent 
had been active in one respect and that, one in which the loss to the community 
will be more keenly felt, namely her charitable works. Her disbursements of this 
nature were at all times unostentatious and many were the needy ones whom she 
helped, and into whose lives she brought happiness in the true meaning. She loved 
her church and its institutions, was a generous contributor to its needs and an 
interested participant in all its events.
In recent years Mrs. Schuette had taken an active and deep interest in the Holy 
Family hospital and at the time the building was erected she furnished two rooms 
and also assisted with others. The ambulance was presented to the hospital by her 
and she has in many ways assisted in maintaining and supporting the hospital. In 
all charitable work of her church she was ever ready to assist and her benevolences, 
quietly performed, brought aid and encouragement to many, who will long cherish 
her memory as a friend.
Theresa (Stauss) Schuette, was born at Honenzallern, Germany fifty-nine years ago 
and came here with her paretns as a child in 1853, the family locating at Baltimore 
for two years before taking up their residence in Manitowoc in 1855. Since that 
time, decendent, had been a continuous resideet (sic). In 1986 she was united in 
marriage to John Schuette, the husband who with five children, survives. The 
children are Louis, Edward, Misses Gesine and Rose, of this city and Mrs. R. Walker, 
of Menominee. Mrs. Schuette had not enjoyed robust health of late years, although 
at no time had there been anxiety for her welfare. Ten days ago, she decided to 
consult a specialist owing to a slight trouble she had experienced with her eyes 
and departed for Milwaukee. Mr. Schuette and two daughters were summoned to 
Milwaukee shortly by the announcement that Mrs. Schuette was ill and operation was 
advised with its sad result above.
Funeral araangements (sic) have not been completed at this time.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, February 24, 1904 P.1
*******
Word was received here yesterday, entirely unanticipated, 
of the death Tues. of Mrs. Therese Schuette, wife of well-
known local banker, John Schuette, in St. Mary's Hospital, 
Milwaukee, following an appendix operation. Mrs. Schuette 
had gone to Milwaukee ten days ago to see a specialist 
concerning an eye illness. During her stay in Milwaukee 
she fell ill with appendicitis and the doctors advised an 
operation. On Mon. it was reported that the patient was 
recovering. However, her condition worsened and death 
occurred the next day. Mrs. Schuette was well known for 
her charitable activities, so her early death was deeply 
felt. Mrs. Schuette was born 04 June 1845 in the then 
Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, daughter of 
F.X. Stauss, and came to America with her parents in 1853. 
The family first settled in Baltimore but moved to Manitowoc 
in 1856 where the deceased has lived ever since. On 22 Feb. 
1867, she married John Schuette. In addition to her deeply 
grieving husband she leaves 2 sons -Louis And Edwin Schuette, 
and 3 daughters -Misses Gesine And Rose Schuette, and Mrs. 
R. Walker in Menominee, Michigan. She is also survived by 
2 brothers -Max and Robert Stauss, as well as a sister, 
Mrs. Staehle. The funeral will take place Fri. at 2 p.m. 
Friends are requested not to send flowers.

LAST SERVICE O'ER.
Representative Cortege Follows Mrs. Schuette's Remains to Evergreen.
One of the most representative funeral corteges that Manitowoc has ever seen 
followed the mortal remains of Mrs. John Schuette to the last resting place 
at Evergreen this afternoon. Services were held at the St. Boniface church and 
at the grave Father O'Leary spoke and Rev. Salbriter lead the prayers. The most 
touching of the ceremonies was the reading of a poem composed by the husband of 
the deceased. A double quartet composed of Messrs. Aaron Torrison, R.A. Taite, 
John Koehler, George Groffman and Mesdammes (sic) Horal Nelson, J. Becker, 
Joseph DeGuire and Miss Mary Witt, sang two verses of the hymn 
"Nearer My God To Thee."

"selling Manitowoc to its own citizens and the outside world."

what was as genuine as it was contagious. His services to the city sprang 
from his unwavering faith in the future progress of its activities."

All city offices closed at noon today and the various city departments shut 
down to allow workers to attend the funeral. The body was brought to the church 
at 10 o'clock this morning from the funeral home. Hundreds viewed it before the 
hour of services at two o'clock.
Many mayors and officials from Wisconsin cities were among mourners at the church.
Vocal solos were sung by Mrs. Clayton Shaw and former Alderman Ray Wernecke.
"When a person passes away who has filled the executive branch of the government 
in a municipalilty and filled it unselfishly and with distinction the entire 
community is touched by the bereavement," Rev. Ristad said.
Voices City's Respect
"Today we are gathered, not only to pay tribute to the memory of a one in whom 
the citizens of this community had reposed its signal confidence by making him 
the token and the expression of the will and the unity of the local government. 
The forward look, the spirit of progress, the ideal of government possessed by 
the community electorate should, and generally does, find its expession in the 
type of men chosen to conduct the affairs of the body politic, whether in the 
community, the state or the nation, and especially is this true of the person 
chosen to fill the most responsible place, to be the head, and to furnish the 
leadership in all matters that effect the honor and welfare of all the 
citizens. The integrity, honestly, loyalty and the courage of the citizenship 
is reflected in the qualities found in 
(Continued on Page 11, Co. 2)
the members of its government, and personified in, its executive head. The 
stream never rises higher than its source. "But where of one degree of excellence 
or of another, government should be honored, because by so doing the citizenship 
honors itself, and even more so, it honors God. For this is the christian view 
of goverment; "The powers that be are ordained by God; that are ministers to 
thee for good-Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom 
to whom custom; honor to whom honor."
Loved His Home City
"For conscience sake, therefore, we honor men in public office while they live, 
and we pay tribute to their memory when God in His wisdom removes them from 
this life by death.
"To Mayor Arthur C. Schuetze the city of Manitowoc was not only his and his 
family's home town; in his mind and heart he identified himself with every 
interest and every civic activity, not as an onlooker but as a participant. 
There was no place on earth like Manitowoc to him. To make use of an everyday 
figure of speech, he wanted to sell Manitowoc to its own citizens, and he never 
tired of selling it to the outside world. Whether it was the funishings for a 
church, the paving of a street, the building of a city hall, a fire station, 
a public school, or the making of our harbor a federal project; whether it was 
the promotion of a singing club, a baseball league, a fraternal club, or the 
support of an orchestral band, or the putting on of a homecoming celebration, 
he entered into it with a single-minded and single-hearted enthusiasm that was 
as genuine as it was contagious. He approaced every job with a naive directness, 
revealing that to him the important thing was to get the job done, and done so 
as to be a credit to and a benefit to the people of our city.
"As the details of his accomplishments as a business man and a public servant 
have been carefully recorded in our local press, I shall not dwell upon it here.
Educated Here
"He was the son of immigrant parents of German stock, William Schuetze and 
Louise Hartung among the early settlers in Manitowoc county. He was born at 
Two Rivers on the 3rd day of June, 1878. At the age of two his folks moved 
to Manitowoc where he received his education and business training, and where 
he during his mature years identified himself with the varied business and 
civic activities of the city.
"Until last August he seemed in vigorous health after that time his health broke; 
surgical and medical care could not overcome the malady from which he suffered. 
While fellow citizens and many friends throughout the state knew of his illness, 
the news of his death came as a distinct shock. His day is done; the city is in 
mourning, for we cherish the belief that his services to the city sprang from 
his unwavering faith in the future progress of its activities, in commerce, in 
the industries, in the growth of municipal effieciency and in its advancement 
in culture.
"We hope and pray that the God of all government may so direct the minds of our 
people as to give to our community unselfish, intelligent and honest leadership 
in the government of our city," he said.
Marine Band Plays
As the funeral procession reached the entrance to Evergreen cemtery the Manitowoc 
Marine band played a dirge. The Rev. Ristad spoke briefly in final rites at the 
family lot. The band played "Nearer My God to Thee" at the close.
Many floral offerings banked the mayor's coffin at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei 
funeral home. Among the pieces was a design from members of the Manitowoc club of 
the Northern State league. There was a miniature ball diamond in flowers with 
crossed bats and an official league baseball, which bore the signature of Mr. 
Schuetze. He was president of the league.
The Manitowoc Central Labor council, at a special meeting adopted a resolution on 
the death of Mayor Schuetze. He was a member of the carpenter's union. The 
resolution follows:
WHEREAS, Brother Arthur Schuetze has all his life been active in the civic and 
recreational affairs, concerning the public at large, and prior to his death has 
served the public in the capacity as Mayor of Manitowoc; and
WHEREAS, Brother Arthur Schuetze has been a member of the Carpenters Union No. 849, 
and was always friendly to Labor in all its policies; and
WHEEREAS, organized labor of Manitowoc regrets that Brother Arthur Schuetze, who 
was honored and respected, has departed from this life; therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Delegates of the Manitowoc Central Labor Council and all 
affiliated Unions, extend their sincere sympathy and condolence to his relatives 
and friends; and be it further
RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be spread on the records of the Manitowoc 
Central Labor Council.

The funeral of Gusta Schuetze, daughter of Mr. Wm. Schuetze, on Friday

represented and their sad young faces as they followed their little play 
mate to her final resting place, was an impressive sight. The floral 
tributes were numerous and beautiful. Only ten short years did she gladden 
the home which is now so desolate and where she was the only daughter, and 
five years of the time she has struggled with lung troubles which finally 
terminated her young life.
