During their 25 year marriage, she and her husband were in love with the theater. particularly stage plays and summer variety shows during the 1950's and 60’s at Manitowoc’s Lincoln High School.

MARGARET WHITE DIED – At Manitowoc, on Monday, June 7th, 1869, Mrs. Margaret White, wife of Richard White, Esq., aged 72 years. The deceased was a native of Parsonstown, Kings county, Ireland. In 1850, in company with her husband and daughter and Robert Hume, a brother to the editor of this paper, she sought an American home, and made Manitowoc her selection. We honestly and firmly believe a better Christian, a truer wife, a more faithful and indulgent mother, a kinder friend, or a more accommodating neighbor never existed in the “Badger State.” For years, long before her arrival in this country, she was sorely afflicted both bodily and mentally and were it not for a strong mind and a firm and unwavering belief in Him, she died, that, we might live a glorious Heareafter, the Grim Destroyer would have claimed her long, long ago, as a victim. To the kind friends, of our second mother, we can only return thanks. To the bereaved husband we can offer no word of sympathy as we believe that it was right and proper that she “should rest from her labors and her works follow her,” and because we know he has abiding faith in Him, “who doeth all things well,” and Time, the Great Consoler, can alone alleviate his sufferings in this hour of affliction.

DANIEL WHITNEY On Tuesday evening, the body of a man was discovered by a little girl in an old root house on the Richards' farm near Rapids Road. The alarm being given, several persons in the neighborhood identified the body as that of Daniel Whitney, a well known and somewhat eccentric individual, who at times for the last twenty-five years has made Manitowoc his headquarters. Whitney was an engineer and a good mechanic and is well known among saw mill men, having worked as engineer in mills for more than a quarter of century. An inquest was held by Justice Bach which showed that deceased came to his death from natural causes. It is supposed he was traveling on foot in the county and being overcome by sickness crawled into the cellar for shelter. His body was cared for by his nephews who reside here and he was given decent burial. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tues., Apr. 20, 1886 page 3 ******** DIED ALONE. Daniel Whitney was found dead in a root-house on the Richards farm in Manitowoc Rapids. Some children were playing near the place on Thursday last, and one of them entering the root-house saw what she supposed was a man sleeping. Informing her mother of the discovery she proceeded to investigate and found the man was dead. It is evident he was seized with a sudden sickness and tried to secure assistance at the house near by. This was deserted and so he sought shelter where he died. No one knows the cause of his death, and it is not known just when he died. People remembered that he had not been seen for about eight days before his body was discovered, but as he was rather solitary in his habits his absence was not noted. He was 72 years old, and came to this county about 40 years ago, and worked at his trade-engineer. He was some what eccentric, never associating with any one and there are many in the city who had seen the old man off and on for years but had never seen him converse with anyone. He was wonderfully reticent and it is believed he never voted. He never married and while in the city usually boarded at Nollau's. He has some nephews and nieces liying (sic) in the city.

HOWARD D. WHITNEY MANITOWOC BOY SERIOUSLY HURT Careless handling of a shot gun was the cause of an accident late Saturday evening that cost little Howard Whitney, son of Ack Whitney, his right arm which had to be amputated below the elbow. Willie Phair and Oren Hansen, aged about 15 years, had been out hunting near the power house of the Traction Company where little Howard Whitney stood on the beach awaiting them. In some manner, while young Phair was removing the gun from the boat, the hammer caught and discharged the gun, the charge taxing effect in Howard Whitney's right forearm immediately below the elbow. Dr. Roberts was at once summoned and found that the wound was such that there was no hope of saving the arm and it was immediately amputated just below the elbow joint. The Reporter, Fri., Oct. 1, 1909 ********* WHITNEY BOY HAS ARM SHOT OFF Awful Accident Happens to Howard, 15 Years, Son of Ack Whitney HUNTING ACCIDENT, LITTLE MANITOWOC Howard Whitney, the fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ackney Whitney, was the victim of a terrible accident on Saturday afternoon, when in watching a hunting party alight from a boat at the Little Manitowoc River, he received a full charge of shot from a shot gun, the charge entering his arm and being received at a distance of only a few feet. The shot tore away the ligaments of the arm, shattered the bones and literally cut the member from the body at the elbow. The lad was obliged to have the arm amputated just below the elbow, the operation being performed Saturday evening. The accident happened at 4:30 when the Whitney boy with his brother, who were in the woods on the north bank of the Little Manitowoc, near the first bend, went to see what success a party of other boys consisting of William Phair, Howard Thurtell and Orrin Hanson, had in a hunting expedition up the river. The latter were in a boat and were about to alight on shore when the Whitney boys came down to the landing. The Hanson boy pulled the shot gun along the bottom of the boat with the muzzle foremost and must have caught the trigger on a seat or some paraphanalia in the boat. There was a report, the charge when past the boys in the boy and the Whitney boy was seen writhing in agony on the ground. For a moment every member of the party of boys was rendered helpless with fear and from seeing the suffering of their companion and none had the presence of mind enough to bind a handkerchief about the arm of the injured lad who lost a great amount of blood. Two of the boys ran across the field towards Roemer's farm crying at the top of their voices and secured the assistance of a workman employed there. He and the boys carried the lad to the road where they met Charles Houghton with his rig and the party made their way to interurban hall where a doctor who had been summoned arrived and bound up the wound. The little fellow has borne his pain with great fortitude and has been patient and u ncomplaining though he realizes the awful calamity that has befallen him. He withstood the trip to the city after having lost a great quantity of blood and also the operation manfully and has been as heroic as possible under the circumstances. The parents, especially the mother was frantic upon learning what had happened to their boy though they realize that the accident might easily have been a fatality. The Hanson boy and his companions are grief-stricken over the affliction.

Frank Wick, aged 36, may have been fatally hurt in an accident of which he was the victim Friday while employed at Elevator B of the Northern Grain co., the extent of Wick's injuries having not been determined as yet, though it is apparent that his hurts are most serious. Wick suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago and this too, may have an influence on his condition. Wick's injuries resulted from the giving away of a scaffold to which he had jumped when about to fall from a ladder upon which he was at work. Wick was on the ladder taking measurements and when about to descend, missing his footing. To save himself, he attempted to leap upon a scaffold twenty feet lower and though he landed on his feet, the scaffold, which was covered by an inch board, gave way and he was carried down, striking his back and shoulder. The man sustained severe bruises and internal injuries, the extent of which have not been determined. Dr. C.M. Gleason was called to attend Wick who was taken to the home of Matt Koch where he is a boarder. Wick is a man of 36 years of age and has been rather unfortunate having experienced many troubles in late years. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Mar. 14, 1908 page 1

Death was due to heart trouble from which Mr. Wieboldt had long been sufferer. He was 55 years of age and unmarried. Mr. Wieboldt had been under the care of physicians for some time past because of an affection of the heart but did not complain of any unusual trouble this morning and was about the house, during the earlier hours of the day. He had been seated at the window and had gone into another room and seated himself when the noise of his falling body, as he pitched from the chair, gave the first intimation that he had suffered another of the attacks which had lately become more frequent. Mr. Wieboldt's sister, Miss Ernestine, who made her home with him, rushed to his assistance and found him unconscious on the floor. Aid was summoned and physicians called, but nothing could be done to revive him, death having ensued in a few seconds. Born Sept. 12, 1857, Mr. Wieboldt was in his 56th year and had spent most of his life here. For the past nine years he had conducted the business which his father established in 1883 and which, after the death of Mr. Wieboldt, Sr., had been under lease for a given years and had then been taken over by the son. Mr. Wieboldt had never married and only surviving member of the family is the sister, Miss Ernestine, who made her home with him.

WILLIAM WIEBOLDT (d. 1900) IN ONE SHORT WEEK William Wieboldt, In Robust Health, Is Stricken By Death BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE ENDED End Came at Noon To-day After Great Suffering. Many Friends Mourn Him In the brightest period of his young manhood, when life in all its joyous gladness and glorious possibilities was most appreciated, William Wieboldt has been called to pass into the great hereafter and to try the realities of the unseen world. Scarcely a week ago, the picture of robust health and with bright prospects for the future; now, in his shroud awaiting burial. Truly it is a sad exemplification of the uncertainty of human existence. It was on Monday, a week ago, that Mr. Wieboldt was first taken ill with pulmonary hemorrhages and although medical aid was at once summoned, it was found impossible to check for any length of time and the patient was much weakened from the loss of blood and at noon today worn out and exhausted he sank into his last sleep and the family found themselves in the presence of death, as sad and deplorable as ever comes to the lot of human lives to grieve and to mourn. William Wieboldt was born here in May, 1876 and had passed all his brief life in this city. He attended the public schools and was always a student seeking to advance himself. In 1895 he was appointed stenographer in Municipal Court by Judge Isaac Craite, a position he held at the time of his death. May 11, 1899 he was married at Two Rivers to Miss Elizabeth LeClair and a few months ago a little child came to bless the union and brighten the home now shrouded in gloom. Will Wieboldt was a manly man, one in whom a friend could place the most implicit confidence. He was possessed of a bright mind and faithful in the discharge of every duty of life attaining a degree of success which was most gratifying to his friends. He was surrounded by the most pleasant family relations and socially he had won himself into the most friendly association. He was blessed with a cheery good nature and for everyone had a pleasant word, with his life and character no distance lent enchantment, but his friendship as it became more intimate tended to disclose the finer qualities. Sorrow over his loss belongs to all who knew him but there is a deeper personal grief that comes in all intense agony to the heart broken wife, and the little one who as yet cannot know of the sorrow. Words of sympathy to the hearts that are pained are of little solace at this time, but it is at least a pleasure to know that through his twenty-four brief years he did life's work well. In the midst of his usefulness he has been removed from all that makes life happy and attractive and in the vagueness of understanding that is had by those who grieve, there is a firm belief that an award awaits him. Besides a wife and child, one brother, Charles and a sister survive him. The funeral will be held Thursday. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, October 09, 1900, Page 1 ********** SLEEPS IN THE WHITE CITY - WIEBOLDT With hushed voice and silent tread, friends of the late William Wieboldt gathered at the sorrow marked home on Washington street to pay a last tribute to his memory this morning and rare fragrant blossoms testified the love and esteem in which the departed was held. At the Catholic church a large crowd gathered and sympathy for the bereaved ones was expressed on every side. No higher tribute could be paid to the memory of a young man, than that which friends paid today. The funeral cortege was one of the largest ever witnessed in Manitowoc. At the cemetery brief services were held, Judge Anderson speaking and referring to the life of him, who they were about to lay in the tomb in words of highest praise. The Glee club rendered a song and William Wieboldt was at rest. Interment was at Evergreen. The active pall bearers were: Frank Muth, Charles Schuetze, Fred Schoch, Emil Streich, Henry Lehrmann, Dr. J. Meany, while Ed. Schmitz, Clyde Sedgwick, Charles Heingarten, Albert J.

WILLIAM L. WIESE DRINKS CARBOLIC BY MISTAKE AND DEATH IS RESULT WILLIAM L. WIESSE (sic), A WELL KNOWN BLACKSMITH, MAKES FATAL MISTAKE IN DAZED STATE AFTER SLEEP Carbolic acid, taken probably by mistake, ended the life of William L. Wise, a well known resident of the city, late yesterday afternoon, the tragedy occurring at the family home, North Seventh street. Mr. Wiese survived but a few minutes. Wiese is believed to have taken the acid by mistake, believing it to have been liquor. He had returned home at noon and complained of illness and had retired to his room. Shortly before 4 o’clock he entered the kitchen apparently in search of something and later was seen to drain a bottle which he had in his hand and which he threw from the door. He started to return to his room and members of the family realized that something was amiss and hurriedly summoned a physician, who found the man in the throes of death from poison. The dead man is said to have been drinking of late and in his dazed state after having been asleep for three hours, drank the contents of the bottle without ascertaining what it was. The acid had been kept in the house and was used by Wiese at the shop for treating injured feet of horses. Mr. Wiese was well known in the city, having resided here for years. He had a prosperous business but of late is said to have neglected his shop and to have suffered reverses though he appeared to be in excellent spirits and gave no intimation to friends of his troubles. Born at Fond du Lac Oct. 6, 1868, Mr. Wiese was 46 years of age. He came to Manitowoc with his parents who later removed to Algoma where they now reside. A widow and four children, Edward, Harold, Erma and Lillian survive. Six brothers, Louis of Algoma, John of Milwaukee, Joseph, Melvin, John and Henry of Chicago and two sisters, Mrs. Buege of Algoma and Mrs. Klenis of Milwaukee also survive. Mr. Wiese was a member of the Order of Maccabees and of the Royal Arcanum and the funeral, which will be held Sunday afternoon, will be under the auspices of the Maccabees who will conduct the services at the graveside.

CLARENCE WIESNER FALLING BUILDING KILLS MAN - RAPIDS MAN IS PINNED UNDER BIG STRUCTURE Clarence Weisner(sic), 31, Dead When Body Recovered By Fellow Workers MOVING FILLING STATION Propped Up Structure Fell on Man, Crushing Head, When Jacks Slipped Clarence Weisner, 31, was instantly killed late Monday afternoon when a frame filling station he was assisting in moving, slipped and crushed his head. The accident occurred at Manitowoc Rapids where the parents of the man who is single, live. Weisner was assisting William J. Naumann, Manitowoc Rapids carpenter contractor, when the accident occurred. The filling station was being moved from its foundation by the use of jacks. The structure slipped off the jacks and caught Weisner who was dead when the body was rescued. Richard Gauthier, Manitowoc Rapids, reported at first as having been killed with Weisner, escaped with bruises. He was struck on the head and shoulders from bricks loosed from the chimney of the station. His condition was not serious. He was a cousin of Weisner. Dr. A.F. Stueck, County Coroner, happened to be passing the scene of the accident shortly afterwards and assisted in the removal of Weisner from the partially wrecked frame station. He announced that there would be no inquest. Weisner, formerly a machinist at the plant of the Invincible Company in this city and out of work for several months was assisting Naumann in moving the Standard Oil Filling Station, known as the Rapids Filling Station and was owned and operated by George Simmer to a new location on the corner. The frame station (illegible) the corner where the east and west street of the Village of Rapids intersects with Highway 119, running north and south. Mr. Simmer, who operates a store in the village, had purchased the filling station about a month ago from Joseph Tufts. He planned to move the store to the corner and had engaged Naumann to move the filling station to another corner of the lot in order to make room for the store. Late Monday the frame structure had been raised on jacks off the concrete foundation and rollers placed under it to move it to the west and south. Weisner was engaged in taking out and putting in blocking under one corner of the station. While his head was under one corner of the structure the jacks suddenly gave way and the rear of the structure dropped to the ground pinning Weisner under it. Naumann and helpers started digging frantically with shovels to release Weisner while other secured new jacks to raise the structure so as to release the young man. The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Weisner, resident of Manitowoc Rapids for the last 30 years. Besides his parents, he is survived by one brother, Albert of this city; a twin sister, Clarabell at home and one other sister, Mrs. Edward Willert of Rapids.
