GEORGE WEAVER

CAPT. WEAVER, THE OLDEST LAKE MAN HERE, DEAD
Prominent Vessel Man Who Sailed Salt Water, Dies at Hospital
DEATH SUDDEN; HE WAS 87 YEARS OLD
Capt. George Weaver, probably the oldest vesselman of the city, died

Manitowoc county sixty years ago and was one of the pioneers of the 
county. He was born in the old country March 20, 1825 and as a boy of 
16 came to America and later followed the seas, sailing on salt water 
until he was 25 when he came to the great lakes and located here. Mr. 
Weaver for many years was an outfitter for lake boats and many of the 
early day boats built at the local shipyards were fitted out by him. 
Later Capt. Weaver sailed the lakes and he was one of the best known 
men of the city, retiring only when advancing age made it impossible 
for him to continue. Capt. Weaver has suffered for some time from 
hardening of the arteries and several times in late months his life 
been despaired of and his son summoned here to attend him. Recently, 
with his aged wife, Capt. Weaver entered the hospital and had been 
cared for there. Saturday afternoon he was with Mrs. Weaver until 4 
and two hours later, while resting on his bed, quietly passed into 
eternal sleep. Capt. Weaver is survived by his aged widow and one son, 
George Weaver Jr. who is traveling auditor for the American Express Co. 
Two sisters also survive. Capt. Weaver was a member of the I.O.O.F. and 
was a companionable man well thought of by many friends. Funeral services 
will be held Tuesday afternoon from the Odd Fellows hall on York street, 
with interment at Evergreen. Capt. Weaver resided at Fifth and Chicago 
streets until with his wife he entered the hospital.

SWEN J. WEAVER

LIVED LONELY LIFE
Sven J. Weaver, Who Died Today, Visited With Friends Only Once a Week
Death today removed an aged resident of the city and ended a life that, 
while little known to Manitowoc, had been lived here for the past 
thirty-two years. 
Sven Jansen Weaver, a fisherman, made his home alone in a small cottage 
on the lake front at the foot of Chicago street and for years had 
associated with his fellow man but one day a week, on Sundays. On that 
day he invariably visited at the home of a few friends and in the 
evening would return to resume his lonely existence. Death was due to a 
stroke of paralysis which he suffered Sunday afternoon while making his 
weekly visit to the home of Capt. C. Olson. The attack was very severe 
and the patient was not removed, death coming to him at the Olson 
residence. 
Deceased was 74 years of age and a native of Norway. Two sisters, Mrs. S. 
Nelson, Racine, and Mrs. G. Watson, Chicago, and one brother George Weaver, 
of this city, survive him. The funeral will be held Thursday at 2 o’clock

And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around her
And whispered "Come with Me"
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer
Although we loved her dearly
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
A million times we thought of you
A million times we've cried
If love alone could save you
You never would have died
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a special place
No one else can ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you
But mother you didn't go alone
For a part of us went with you
That day God took you home.

EDDIE WEEMAN    (d. 1864)

Melancholy Accident.
A heart rending accident took place in this village on Thursday, the 28th ult., 
by the drowning of Joseph Edwin Weeman, a smart and intelligent boy nearly 
thirteen years of age, son of K.S. and Martha J. Weeman. About 4 o'clock on that 
day, he went into the river, near its mouth, to bathe, and disappeared at once. 
Alarm was immediately given, and search made, but his body was not recovered until 
about dark. His funeral was largely attended, and his remains were accompanied to 
the grave by the teachers and scholars of the south side school. His fond parents 
have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their sorrow, for
'Tis lonely now within their home,
Each room is filled with gloom
For death has taken Eddie hence,
And borne him to the tomb.
They miss his soft hand on their cheek
His presence everywhere
His kind and pleasant voice so sweet
Floats no more on the air.
His angel form and smiles of love
No more will light their way
Their guiding star on earth has set
But shines in heavenly day.

HERMAN F. WEHAUSEN   (d. 1908)

Saturday afternoon Hermann Wehausen, the 12-year old son of Henry Wehausen here, 
went to the mouth of the Manitowoc River with his sink net to catch some minnows 
for a Sunday fishing trip. Since then the boy has been missing and a theory that 
he fell into the river and drowned is unproven since the police searched the river 
Saturday evening from the Main Street bridge without finding his body. On Sunday 
the men from the life saving station brought their instruments and searched the 
river again without results. Maybe the body was swept into the lake, so it may be 
a while before it is washed up onto the bank. The boy’s mother is nearly out of 
her mind with grief.
Der Nord Westen, 24 Sept. 1908
*******
Mr. and Mrs. John Ploeckelmann went down to the new harbor pier Sunday morning 
to do some fishing and saw a male body floating in the water. They immediately 
notified the police who quickly came and recovered it. It was the body of 13-year 
old Hermann Wehausen whom we reported last week as having been missing since 
Saturday. As best one can guess, the boy fell into the water while casting his 
sink net. In his attempt to get to the surface it appears he became so entangled 
in the net that he could not save himself. The body was buried Monday in the city 
cemetery.

MISSING 2 DAYS MAY BE DROWNED
Herman Wehausen Fails to Return from Fishing Trip to G.T. Co. Docks
IS THOUGHT TO HAVE FALLEN FROM PIERS
Missing from the home since Saturday evening and last seen on the northside lake 
piers, Herman Wehausen, the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wehausen, 
North Fifth Street, is believed to have been drowned. Though no one saw the lad 
fall into the water and though the body has not been recovered it is nevertheless 
deemed probable that he met his death in this manner since he had announced his 
intention of fishing for minnows off the pier and was not seen to return. The lad 
is one of two sons of the family and the idol of his mother, being the youngest 
child.
The boy is supposed to have lost his life between the the hours of five and seven 
o'clock on Saturday evening and was last seen by Mrs. Ed. Scherer who was on the 
north pier where the boy visited with a son of the latter, about his own age. 
After a time he announced his intention of going over to the Goodrich docks for 
minnows and left, the Scherers paying no further attention to his movements. It 
is thought that if the boy lost his life in the manner indicated that he fell into 
the water while throwing out his small minnow net which assisted in pulling him 
down having had it tied to his wrist.
Uncertainty as to the spot where the lad fished for minnows is one reason why the 
body cannot be found or it may have been taken into the lake which will probably 
give it up in the usual time. On Saturday the river and lake was a foot higher 
than it has been on this shore for weeks and it is not improbable that the body 
was taken out into the lake by the strong undertow that prevailed. Up to a late 
hour today, the body had not been recovered nor has there been any additional 
information as to the boy's whereabouts and the drowning theory is probably a 
correct solution.
The scene of anguish at the home was pitiful on Sunday and today and the kindly 
offices of neighbors who did all in their power to  mitigate the suffering of the 
mother, is all that has prevented her from losing her mind. As it was, the woman 
was hysterical most of the night Saturday.
When no news came to relieve her uncertainty though the river and lake near the 
piers was being dragged by the police and the Two Rivers Life Saving crew came 
down to assist in the search. One sad feature of the occurrence is the state of 
mind of the mother who had denied the boy all day when he asked permission to go 
to the docks to secure minnows for Sunday's fishing but in the end she gave her 
permission though with reluctance. This is the theme that the mother constantly 
returns to when efforts of friends are being made to comfort her. The Wehausen 
home has been visited by affliction only last year when a daughter died. There 
is but one child remaining, a son, aged twenty.

MISSING BOY MET DEATH IN LAKE
Body of Little Herman Wehausen Found Near New Harbor Pier
FISH NET DREW HIM TO DEATH AND HELD BODY
With the fish net which had probably drawn him into the lake and to his death, 
still attached to his wrist, the string wound about his neck and the iron crossbar 
which held the frame, resting on his back, holding the body down, the dead body 
of little Herman Wehausen, the North side lady who disappeared a week ago Saturday, 
was taken from the lake Sunday morning. The body was found on the lake side of the 
new government pier, directly out from Chicago Street and about 300 feet from shore 
and was badly bloated from the action of the water. The body was taken to the 
Oestreich undertaking rooms and prepared for burial.
Discovery of the body was made by Mr. and Mrs. J. Ploekelman who had visited the 
pier to fish Sunday morning and they immediately notified the police office and 
Capt. Carle and Officer Dueno assumed charge of the body after taking it from the 
water. The boy is presumed to have been fishing off the pier with a net which he 
had attached to his wrist with a string and in throwing the net, was probably 
drawn from the pier. The strong wind had wrapped itself about the neck of the boy, 
probably due to his struggle and the iron crossbar of the frame pressed on the back 
and it is thought this held the body below the surface so long a time.
Recovery of the body of the boy sets at rest the uncertainty as to his fate and is 
a God given boon to the poor mother whose health has been shattered by the terrible 
shock and grief over her loss. Friends are doing all in their power to minister to 
the bereaved family but the sorrow is one which time only can mitigate. The burial 
of the body was held at Evergreen cemetery this afternoon from the vault when the 
remains were taken after preparation for burial. The boy was 12 years of age and 
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wehausen.
