GERTIE SIBREE

Died
Sibree - At Peshtigo on the 17th inst., of typhoid fever, Miss Gertrude Sibree 
of this city. Miss Sibree was born in the city of New York on the 9th of November, 
1854. She came to Manitowoc county with her family in the summer of 1859 and 
commenced teaching school when about 15 years of age and taught continuously in 
the city until the close of the last school year. She began the present school 
year at Marinette, this state, but was forced to discontinue work on account of 
a violent attack of typhoid fever. She was removed to her brother's home at 
Peshtigo and having for a long time hung between life and death was thought to 
be out of danger. She had a relapse and died on the 17th inst. 
Miss Sibree had many excellent qualities which endeared her to a large circle. 
Her large funeral and the tasteful decoration of the church on the occasion give 
evidence of the estimation in which she was held and was a touching manifestation 
of sympathy for the bereavement of her relatives. She was a kind daughter, a woman 
who did her duty well through life. Few young women had her industry or her 
devotion to friends. Her parents have lost in her a daughter whose whole life 
will be to them a pleasant remembrance. The memory of her virtues will soften 
the grief of friends.

Dr. Henry and Mrs. Sibree of Peshtigo came down on the boat on Sunday 
night with the remains of their sister, Gertie. It was a sad mission.

The Presbyterian church was filled on Monday morning on the occasion of the funeral 
of Miss Gertie Sibree. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. Cellars 
assisted by Rev. C.N. Stowers. Sympathizing friends had decorated the church with 
appropriate floral offerings conspicuous among which was a broken pillar. The singing 
by the choir was beautifully appropriate.

HENRY COLLINS SIBREE   (d. 1883)

Mr. Henry Sibree, formerly Justice of the Peace and for four years District 
Attorney of our county, died early yesterday.
Der Nord Westen, Apr. 19, 1883
********
Henry Sibree, Esq., of this city died yesterday morning about 3 o'clock. He 
had not been confined to his bed a great while, but for the last four years 
his health has been in so precarious condition that his friends knew he could 
not long withstand any serious attack of sickness. His death does not come 
unexpectedly but this fact does not lessen the sorrow of his family for whom 
he felt an affection deep as the capacity of the human heart would allow.
Mr. Sibree was born in a small village in Dunbartonshire, Scotland, March 25, 
1825. He came to America in 1842 and lived in New York and New Jersey until 
1849, when the golden prospects of California drew him in that land of hope. 
He remained three years engaged in the business of mining and then left for 
New York. Here he established a city express line which he managed successfully, 
and which still has an existence and bears its founders name, being known as 
“Sibree's Express.”
In 1857 he quit New York and came to Wisconsin, settling on a farm in Kossuth, 
where he remained until 1863, when he removed to Manitowoc and soon after engaged 
in the practice of the law. He was District Attorney during the years 1875-76.
Mr. Sibree was a man whose personality was strongly impressed on those with whom 
he mingled. He had an intensity of earnestness and a depth of conviction which 
made him throw his whole soul into every movement in which he took part. This 
energy was well calculated to make him a successful man, and there can be no 
question if he had become a member of the legal profession at an early age so 
that the period of mental growth might contribute to the success of mature years, 
he would be a lawyer of no small distinction.
He was possessed of rare natural ability. His face was indicative of mental
strength and that force of character which finds its fullest expression among
the Scotch people. His mind was active; his impulses were good; he hated trickery 
and dishonestly; his indignation was always aroused by an exhibition of meanness; 
and his sympathies were strong. These qualities together with a ready command of 
language and a voice of large compass made him quite an effective public speaker. 
When he talked the heart prompted the words he uttered. He never did anything with 
indifference. He was aggressive as an opponent and as true to a friend as the 
needle to the pole.
This was one prominent feature of Mr. Sibree's character, his devotion to those 
whose character and conduct earned his respect. He was large hearted, generous and 
devoted. The very qualities which gave such depth and longevity to his friendships, 
made him rather implacable as an enemy.
Quite well read himself he took a deep interest in educational matters and was 
strongly attracted toward any young person who exhibited more than ordinary mental 
powers. It was a passport in his good opinion and to his friendship, and he was a 
man who never used a friend for a selfish purpose.
No man loved society better, enjoyed discussion more or entered into it with greater 
zest.  His laugh was cheery, his humor pleasant; but his wit could be sharp and his 
invective scathing. To those who knew him well, knew him before failing health clouded 
the sunniness of his disposition and impaired the strength of his intellect. Henry 
Sibree was a man to be remembered tenderly, a man to whom Nature gave a large warm 
heart a strong mind and a capacity for feeling which gave life a meaning beyond the 
comprehension of those whose emotions are not deep.

From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-five Years ago (1890)

health for some time but not until Friday last was her sickness considered 
serious. She was born in Patterson, New York in 1829. After her marriage she

brilliant intelligence and strong character, died in this city some years ago. 
Since that time, Mrs. Sibree has been an invalid to some extent. Her funeral 
took place on Tuesday and the large attendance testified the respect in which 
she was held.

JOHN SIEBER

LOCAL MAN IS KILLED UNDER TRAIN WHEELS
Body of John Sieber, 56, 
Found By Youths Near 16th Street Entrance To Shipyards
John Sieber, 56, White House Milk company employe, died under the wheels
of the North Western road's Ashland Limited near the 16th street entrance
of the shipyards shortly after it left the depot at 10:21 last night. He
was decapitated.
Youths Find Body
Sieber's body, the head between the rails and the torso on the outside,
was discovered by two unidentified youths who, in turn, notified a rail-
road signalman, Norris Rasmussen. Rasmussen reported to his superiors.
Police were notified at 11:10 and called Dr. Gerald Rau, coroner. The 
body was then removed to the Pfeffer funeral home. Dr. Rau termed the
death "accidental" and said there would be no inquest.
Sieber and his wife left their home, 728 S. 25th street, early last
evening, and went to the residence of their "back-door" neighbors, Mr.
and Mrs. William A. Trefz, 729 S. 26th street, to remain with the Trefz'
young son while his parents attended a banquet at the Hotel Manitowoc.
At 10 o'clock Mrs. Sieber advised her husband to go home and retire for
the night, inasmuch as he was required to be at work at the condensery
at an early hour. When Mrs. Sieber reached home sometime after 11 
o'clock her son, Reuben, informed her that Mr. Sieber had not come home 
at all.
Reuben and Mr. Trefz went to the police station and reported that Mr.
Sieber was missing. Police told them of the finding of a body on the
railroad tracks in the shipyards and suggested that they go to the 
undertaking parlors and view the body. At the funeral home Reuben ident-
fied the body as that of his father.
Hard of Hearing
Members of the Sieber family said that Mr. Sieber was extremely hard of
hearing. They were at a loss to explain his presence in the shipyards
except to say that he might have intended to walk over to the condensery
for a chat with the night crew. To do this he might have intended to cut
through the shipyards and cross over on the railroad bridge instead of
walking to the plant by way of 21st street as was his usual route. The
body was found about ten yards west of the 16th street entrance to the
shipyard. The young men who made the discovery stumbled over the body.
They reported their discovery to the signalman but left without giving
their names.
The casket will be sealed immediately and the body cannot be viewed.
Mr. Sieber was born at Red Jacket, Mich., July 24, 1879. As a boy he
came to Manitowoc county to live with his uncle, Henry Mathias, Sr.,
in Sheboygan county. He lived in Sheboygan county only one year, the
family moving to a farm in the Town of Liberty. On April 20, 1910, he
married Miss Augusta Borgwardt. Survivors are the widow, one son, 
Reuben, at home and one sister, Mrs. Laura Graff, Sheboygan.
Funeral Saturday
Funeral services will be held Saturday at 1:30 p.m. from the residence
and at 2 o'clock at the First German Evangelical Lutheran church. Burial
will be at Evergreen cemetery.

CHARLES SIEKER    (d. 1912)

CHAS. SIEKER IS VICTIM OF HEART ATTACK 
Well Known North Side Man Dies After Brief Illness 
NATIVE OF COUNTY; IN BUSINESS HERE 
Carl (sic) G. Sieker, custodian at the public library for several years, 
former merchant associated with the firm of Rechycgl & Sieker and well known 
resident, died a the family home, 528 N. Ninth street at an early hour today 
from heart trouble with which he had been afflicted for a year. Mr. Sieker’s 
demise was sudden and occurred without suffering, earthly slumber being 
merged into the deeper sleep of death with scarce a sign to indicate the 
transition.
Mr. Sieker has suffered from heart trouble for more than a year but it was 
only two weeks ago that he was forced to leave his position at the library 
and seek rest and quiet at home and since that time his condition had become 
more serious until Sunday when the approach of the end was apparent. Everything 
that love and medical skill could suggest was done to prolong life but without 
avail and falling sleep Sunday evening. Mr. Sieker passed away at 5 this 
morning.
Born at Rapids February 17, 1855, Mr. Sieker had spent his entire life in 
Manitowoc and was one of the best known men of the city. For a number of years 
he was associated with A. Rechycgl in the grocery business, conducting a store 
on N. Eighth street retiring in 1900. In 1903 when the Carnegie library was 
erected Mr. Sieker was appointed attendant at the building and had served in 
that position ever since continuing his duties up to three weeks ago when his 
health forced him to leave. He was a special officer of the city police 
department and in his duties was conscientious and was held in respect by all 
with whom he came in contact.
Mr. Sieker is survived by a widow and six children; three daughters, Mrs. W.J. 
Geilfus, of Milwaukee, Misses Lottie and Cora of this city, and three sons, 
George, Louis and Karl. Mr. Sieker was affiliated with the Lutheran church and 
the funeral will be held from the Lutheran church Wednesday afternoon following 
brief services at the house.

DR. FRANZ SIMON

Another one of our old settlers is gone. Dr. Franz Simon, 
one of the best known and highly regarded citizens of our 
city, closed his eyes in the final sleep Mon. evening after 
a long period of infirmity. Franz Simon was born 28 Oct., 
81 yrs. ago in Mainz. As a young man he chose to study 
medicine and attended the Universities of Vienna and Giessen, 
graduating from the latter. He married in 1849 and left for 
America that same year. He first settled in New York where 
he built a fine practice, but in the 50’s responded to the 
call of the west and in 1855 came to Two Rivers for a few 
years, then traveled to Pike’s Peak with his wife and child. 
The Dr. came back in 1861 and settled in Manitowoc where he 
established a successful practice. During the war he served 
as examining physician for the Examining Commission for 
Soldiers. With the advance of old age Dr. Simon’s practice 
began shrinking and for the last 2 yrs. has not left his 
house….Dr. Simon is survived by his widow, with whom he 
celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1899, a 
daughter, Mrs. Dr. Luhmann here, and 2 sons –Dr. Frank 
Simon in Nebraska and Louis Simon in Philadelphia. Both 
sons will be here for the funeral which will be held at 
2 p.m. tomorrow.

**********
Dr. Franz Simon of Manitowoc, who was buried last Friday afternoon, his death 
having occurred in Manitowoc previous, from illness incident to old age, was 
at the time of his death, the oldest physician in the county. He was upwards of 
80 years of age and had been a resident of the county since the early fifties. 
When he first came to the county to reside he selected Two Rivers as his home 
and practiced medicine here for several years. He soon became famous for his 
success as physician and his services were sought by people from all parts of 
the county and from Kewaunee County as well and he had such frequent calls from 
Manitowoc that he concluded to make that city his home and the base of his 
professional operations. He was different from other men, yet the difference was 
of an attractive nature. Men sought his society in his leisure hours, because 
they found in him a charming geneality, an intellectuality activity and a 
sympathetic companionship. He was the recognized leader of all fetes and social 
gatherings. But the generation to which he belonged passed away long ago. His 
aged wife, a son and a daughter survive him.

HUBERT A. SIMON  (d. 1915)

FIRST WHITE CHILD BORN IN MEEME IS DEAD IN THIS CITY
HUBERT SIMON, FORMER HOTEL MAN AT SCHOOL HILL DIES HERE AFTER 
TWO WEEKS ILLNESS, AGED 67 YEARS
Hubert A. Simon, the first white child born in the town of Meeme 
and who for years was engaged in the hotel business at School Hill, 
this county, died at his home, 714 South Fifteenth street, yesterday 
after an illness that had confined him to his bed but two weeks. 
Mr. Simon was 63 years of age and came to the city to make his home 
just a year ago, having resided on the North side until recently when 
he purchased the property which was his home at the time of death. 
Mr. Simon was born at Meeme Feb. 2, 1848 and was the first white child 
born in that town. Mr. Simon recalled that in his boyhood days the 
county was covered by a dense growth of timber—natural forests with 
much wild game. The Indians had a reservation in the neighborhood of 
the Simon home and as a boy he grew up with them and learned their 
language. As a youth Mr. Simon attended the Conservatory of Music at 
Chicago and later for several years traveled with the John Robinson 
circus, in that day one of the leading tented shows of the United 
States. 
In 1868 he returned to the county and engaged in farming which he 
continued for many years. In 1899 he engaged in the hotel and saloon 
business at School Hill and a year ago removed to this city. Mr. Simon 
is survived by a widow and three of four children born to them. Mrs. 
Herman Gerber, of Medford; Mrs. Joseph Linkman and Hubert, Jr., the 
latter two of this city. The funeral will be held Monday morning at 
Sacred Heart church with interment at Evergreen.

Notes from Osman:
Mr. Hubert Simon, a former resident of Meeme, died at Manitowoc, July 30th, 1915, 
aged 68 years. Mr. Simon is survived by a widow and three children, Mr. Hubert 
Simon, Jr., and Mrs. Jos. Liekman of Manitowoc and Mrs. Helen Gerber of Sheboygan, 
Wis., and quite a number of grandchildren.
The funeral was largely attended considering the bad weather. Quite a number 
attended from Osman and School Hill. The roads were so bad that it kept quite a 
few back although some even went from St. Nazianz with autos. Mr. H. Simon was 
the first white child born in the town of Meeme. He was born February 2, 1848. 
His playmates were the Indians and he could speak their language. When he was 8 
years old the Indians moved farther north. He used to tell us about the time when 
game was plentiful. They would shoot deer and sell them at Sheboygan for 25 cents 
and 50 cents a pair and very many times could not dispose of them and would have 
to take them home again, 18 miles through rough roads with an ox team.
Mr. Simon was quite a musician in his earlier days. He attended a college of music 
in Chicago and later played around the county quite a lot. After a while he engaged 
in farming and followed it for 35 years, later going into the hotel and saloon 
business at School Hill which business he conduced for 15 years. July 1, 1914 he 
sold his business and went to Manitowoc to make his home. He resided at 716 So. 15th 
Street, which place he bought a few months ago. The family desire to extend their 
heartfelt thanks for kindness shown to them in their bereavement.

SOPHIE SIMON

DEATH COMES TO MRS. SOPHIA SIMON AS SHE IS SEATED IN CHAIR AT HOME 
Calm and peaceful was the death yesterday of Mrs. Sophia Simon, 
widow of the late Dr. Franz Simon and a pioneer resident of the 
city, who passed away while seated in her chair engaged in needle 
work at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F.S. Luhman, So. Eighth 
street, with whom she made her home. Mrs. Simon's death was 
discovered by members of the family who entered her room some time 
later and failing to secure a response when they spoke to Mrs. Simon, 
found that she was dead. Mrs. Simon was 85 years of age. 
Mrs. Simon, who despite her advanced age had enjoyed excellent health 
was a devotee to needle work and daily busied herself with this work, 
occupying herself every afternoon. Yesterday, as usual, she was engaged 
in knitting and was apparently in her usual health. Her death which was 
due to heart trouble, occurred sometime late in the afternoon while she 
was alone and the discovery was a shock to members of the family. Born 
at Main-on-the-Rhine April 10, 1830, Mrs. Simon was wedded there and 
came to America with her husband in 1848, locating at New York. A few 
years later the family removed to Two Rivers and later to this city 
where they resided for years. 
Dr. and Mrs. Simon made their home in Nebraska for a time and in late 
years Mrs. Simon had resided with her daughter here. Two children, Mrs. 
Luhman, of this city, and Dr. Frank Simon of Pender, Neb., survive Mrs. 
Simon. Six grandchildren and four great grandchildren also survive. 
Funeral services will be held from the Luhman home at 2 o'clock Monday 
afternoon, Rev. Grether officiating.

Located through a letter which he sent to County Clerk Frank Vraney, making him to 
forward a marriage license which had been sent here from Sheboygan County, Simons 
and his girl companion were traced to Stevens Point by Sheriff Cary and Fred Brendt, 
father of the girl who visited that city. County Clerk Vraney advised District 
Attorney Healy of the request of Simons and the Attorney advised the sheriff to go 
to Stevens Point. Simon was taken into custody by Stevens Point officers request of 
Mr. Cary when he appeared at the post office to secure the marriage license forwarded  
him here and later the Brendt girl was found at a rooming house.
Simons was arrested at Stevens Point on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and 
when searched a revolver was found on his person and he was fined $25 and costs, 
which he paid. Miss Brendt, who told Sheriff Cary and her father that Simons had 
forced her to accompany him by threats of death if she refused, returned to this city 
with her father Saturday noon after a conference and his daughter returned to their 
home at Decada, Sheboygan County. Brendt contemplated instituting proceedings against 
Simons on a charge of kidnapping but the complaint would be filed in either Sheboygan 
or Portage counties, Simons having forced the girl to accompany him from a dance held 
at Franklin, Sheboygan County last Sunday morning and as the alleged crime was not 
committed in Manitowoc County, the complaint could not be filed here.
According to the story told by Miss Brendt she was forced to accompany Simons from the 
dance by threats which he enforced by exhibiting a revolver. The couple came to this 
city and failing to secure a marriage license drove to Newton and boarded a train for 
Stevens Point which city they reached Tuesday and remained until located by local 
authorities. After Simons release at Stevens Point he followed Brendt and his daughter 
to Sheboygan and Sunday appeared at the Brendt home with a rifle and demanded that the 
girl accompany him. So far as learned by the Sheriff the couple were not married but 
Simons had secured the license from Sheboygan with this a view. The girl declares that 
she was in constant fear of Simons at Stevens Point. Simons will be examined for his 
sanity at Sheboygan this afternoon and if sound sane, proceedings charging kidnapping 
may be instituted against him. Simons is 23 and the girl about 18. Simons' home is at 
School Hill, this county. The Brendts formerly resided at Meeme.

WILL SIMONS LET OFF EASY
Given Release at Sheboygan After Fine of $50.00
Sheboygan, Wis., Sept. 27  - Following what is believed to have been an understanding 
between the parents of William Simons and Emma Brendt, charges against the former were 
not pressed and an investigation of the sanity of the young an did not take place here. 
Instead Simons was taken to court on the charge of threats made against the father of 
the Brendt girl and was fined $50 and costs upon his having pleaded guilty. Payment of 
this gave Simons his release.
That Simons is not insane but his condition is the result of a series of sprees is the 
statement made by a relative of the boy who came here from Milwaukee to investigate the 
case. Simons declares that he had no intention of injuring any member of the Brendt 
family when he appeared at the home in Ada Sunday but said he planned to kill himself 
in sight of the girl who had spurned his love.  As a condition of the settlement of the 
case, it is said that Simons has given a promise never again to molest the girl and the 
girl declaring that she will not marry him. Simons is the son of well to do parents at 
School Hill, Manitowoc County and at the time he was taken into custody had $208 on his 
person. His father conducts a saloon at School Hill.

SIMONS(sic) INSANE SAYS VERDICT
Father of Dead Boy Says Son Acted Queer for Weeks
William Simons, the School Hill youth who killed Emma Brandt, 
and then committed sucide at Chicago Friday was insane says 
the verdict returned by the coroner's jury which investigated 
the death at Chicago. The jury returned a verdict of murder 
and suicide while insane. Hubert Simon father of the dead youth, 
testified at the inquest that his son had been acting strangely 
for some time previous and that he believed him insane. Laura 
Brandt, a sister of Simons victim told the details of the 
tragedy between sobs on the witness stand. Simons shot Miss 
Brandt as she was returning to the dining room after having 
fled to another room to evade a private meeting with Simons.
Because of the rules of the church which prohibit the burial 
of a suicide in its cemetary (sic), the body of Simons was 
brought to this city for interment at Evergreen this afternoon. 
Funeral services were held at Cleveland Monday and it was 
decided to bring the body here for burial. The body was 
accompanied by the father and other relatives of the dead youth. 
The body of Miss Brandt was buried at Meeme the former home of 
the family.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
William Simon, the School Hill man, who about two weeks ago forced Miss Emma 
Brandt to elope with him but was arrested and taken back home Friday night in 
Chicago, shot and killed Miss Brandt, shot her sister, Miss Tillie Brandt, 
through the hand; fired two shots at his cousin, Lawrence Simon, and then 
killed himself at Lawrence Simon's home, 510 North Forty-eighth avenue.
The series of events that led up to the shooting had its beginning in Elkhart 
Lake two weeks ago. At that time Simon forced the girl now dead to elope with 
him. At Stevens Point, Wis., a marriage license was procured, but the pair was 
overtaken. Miss Brandt's parents denied her permission to marry.
From that time until Wednesday of last week Simon dogged the footsteps of the 
girl. Wednesday he learned that she was to be taken to St. Louis to forget 
him. He anticipated the move and went to Chicago, stopping at the home of his 
cousin.
Friday morning Miss Brandt, her sister Tillie and two other sisters, Laura and 
Bertha, arrived in Chicago at 10:50 o'clock, thirty-eight minutes after the 
train they had intended taking to St. Louis had left. They went to the home of 
Lawrence Simon to visit while waiting for a later train.
At 6:30 o'clock in the evening William Simon arrived, and the entire party sat 
down to supper. William Simon appeared to be nervous, when, after supper, the 
others adjourned to the parlor, leaving him with his sweetheart. The shooting 
began soon after.
When Tillie Brandt reached the kitchen door she saw her sister lying on the 
floor in a pool of blood and at the same time was shot through the hand. Lawrence 
Simon rushed in and grappled with his cousin who fired three shots at him, and 
then rushed to the back porch, reloaded his revolver and fired two shots into his 
own head, dying almost instantly.
Emma Brandt was shot through the temple and died within five minutes.
The bodies of Simon and Miss Brandt were removed to a morgue where an inquest was 
held.
The funeral of Simon was held Tuesday. His remains were brought to this city for 
interment in Evergreen cemetery.
