ROLAND WOLF

From Der Nord Westen, 09 Apr. 1903: 
A sad accident occurred Wed. morning in the residence of Mrs. Gustav Mueller here.
Mrs. Adolph Wolf from Milwaukee, Mrs. Mueller’s daughter, is here on a visit.
Mrs. Wolf’s 4-yr. old son, while playing in the kitchen yesterday morning, fell into 
a tub of boiling water and suffered severe burns. Medical help was called immediately 
and everything was done to ease the child’s pain. The little boy remains in critical 
condition and the doctors have not yet been able to express any hopes for his recovery. 
*********
From Der Nord Westen, 16 Apr. 1903:
Last week we reported the burns suffered by 4-yr. old Roland Wolff 
of Milwaukee. We now have to report that the little grandchild of 
Mrs. Gustav Müller died of those burns at 10 p.m. Wed. evening last 
week. The child was buried Sat. afternoon in the local cemetery.

CHILD'S BURNS FATAL
Little Roland Wolfe Dies as Result of Accident that Befell Him.
LIVED BUT SHORT TIME.
Suffered Intensely from Terrible Injuries-Sad Termination to Visit 
of Milwaukee Family in this City.
Death resulted from the terrible burns which three-year old Roland 
Wolfe suffered Wednesday when he fell into a tub of scalding water 
at the home of Mrs. Gustave Mueller where, with his mother he was 
a guest. The accident happened early in the day and for hours the 
child suffered intensely until death came to relieve him at 9:30 in 
the evening. It was at first thought that the injuries would not 
prove fatal, but every effort to save the little life was unavailing. 
The child was an only son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Wolfe, of Milwaukee, 
and with his mother had been visiting at the Mueller home since last 
Thursday. Wednesday morning while playing about the kitchen the boy 
fell into a tub of scalding water that had been left standing on the 
floor and although rescued almost immediately, had been terribly 
burned about the body. Medical assistance was summoned and everything 
done to alieviate the sufferings of the child but to no purpose.
The death of little Roland is peculiarly sad because of the 
circumstances surrounding and the sympathy of the community will be 
extended to the bereaved parents and family. Mrs. Wolfe is a daughter 
of Mrs. Mueller and was enjoying a pleasant and happy visit at home 
when the terrible accident occurred. Mr. Wolfe was notified at 
Milwaukee of the accident and arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon, 
a few hours before the death of the child. This is the second time 
within a few months that Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe have been called upon to 
mourn the death of a child, another having died shortly after birth. 
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon from the home of Dr. and 
Mrs. George Huwatchek, 1215 Marshal street.

Manitowoc Pilot, September 2,1864, Pg 1, Col 1:  
Funeral of Lieut. Wollmer.  
“The remains of the late Lieut. Wollmer, who was wounded recently before 
Atlanta, and subsequently died, reached here Tuesday morning on the Comet. 
We have not been informed as to the particulars of his death, but learn 
that it was quite sudden and entirely unexpected to his family and friends. 
The funeral took place from the residence of the deceased at four o'clock 
of the same day, and was attended by an immense concourse of people. The 
veterans of the 5th and 9th regiments now in town, commanded by Capt. Goodwin, 
constituted the escort, and with their arms revered, and their slow, solemn 
tread, keeping time to the mournful music of the fife and drum, they gave to 
the departed soldier a military burial. Among the officers who attended the 
last rites were Gen. Salomon, Lt. Col. Olmsted, Major Baetz, Captains Rankin, 
and Dumke, Lieuts. Murphy, Wimpf and Markham, besides nearly all of our 
prominent citizens. The German Singing Society was also in attendance and sung 
over the last resting place of their friend's remains. 
The late Mr. Wollmer was one of the earliest settlers of Manitowoc, and greatly 
contributed by his energy and good business qualities to the prosperity of the 
place. Until within the past three years he was proprietor and manager of a 
banking-house here; and his well known liberality and kindness to those with 
whom he had to deal was proverbial. Lieut Wollmer belonged to the 26th regiment 
Wisconsin volunteers. 
We have been requested to return thanks in the name of his wife and relatives 
to the veteran soldiers who took part in the procession, to the Sangerbund, and 
to the many kind friends who  were with them to sustain and comfort in the hour 
of their deep affliction.”

Dear Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 12th of October, 
with draft for $123.00, presented by the officers of your gallant regiment. I 
accept the gift, not only because my deeply lamented husband, who since December 
1863 did not receive any pay from the government, except a small amount which he 
drew, after he was wounded and a few days before his death, left me and his three 
little children in need and want; but I accepted it particularly with warm and 
hearty comrades, who served with him for two years, who fought by his side in so 
many battles for our dear bleeding country; for the reason that it comes from the 
brave men who amid the roar of the cannon, in the throng of the battle and the 
groans of the wounded and dying, have yet preserved a feeling heart for a poor 
widow and orphans, whom they are not acquainted with, but know that they exist, 
and that Lt. Wollmer was their supporter and protector. Gentlemen, receive my warm 
thanks, and may the God of Battles preserve you, and permit you, happier than my 
poor husband was to come home again to your dear wives and children; permit you to 
be received with that love you deserve, and may you enjoy for long, long time, the 
blessings of liberty and peace of our beloved country, which when it calls out her 
heroes among the first will be the officers of the 26th Regiment. 
Tendering to you again my sincere thanks I have the honor gentlemen to be

WILLIAM WOLLMER

FORMER LOCAL MAN DIES AT MILWAUKEE
Friends here were advised of the death at Milwaukee Wednesday evening 
of William Wollmer, a former Manitowoc resident at the home of his 
brother-in-law, Dr. John C. Moeller, 123 Garfield avenue. The body will 
be cremated, according to the wishes of the deceased and the ashes will 
be brought to this city tomorrow, Saturday, for burial in the family 
lot at Evergreen. Mr. Wollmer had been ill for two weeks and his death 
was due to pneumonia. The death recalls a bit of early history of the 
city, William Wollmer was the son of Nicholas Wollmer, one of the city’s 
first pioneers who came here years before the civil war and who lost his 
life in that great conflict, falling with a number of his comrades in the 
battle of Peach Tree Creek near Atlanta, Georgia. His widow married G. 
Bieling and about thirty-two years ago William Wollmer moved to Milwaukee 
with his mother and continued to make his home in that city. He was a 
jeweler by trade and was very popular with friends and associates. He was 
sixty-seven years of age, having been born December 29, 1850. He was never 
married. Wollmer street was named in honor of Nicholas Wollmer and the 
family will be remembered by all of the older residents.

SOUTHSIDE MAN VICTIM OF HIGHWAYMAN IN CITY
Anton Wolski(sic) Attacked While Driving on North Water Street and is Left 
on the Road Unconscious
ROBBERY THE MOTIVE? ASSAILANT FRIGHTENED AWAY
Assaulted by an unknown man on North Water Street last night, Anton Wolski, a 
well known South Side cigar manufacturer was thrown from his wagon and left 
unconscious in the roadway. The assailant, who is believed to have intended 
robbery of Mr. Wolski, fled at the approach of pedestrians who found Mr. Wolski 
and assisted him into his wagon. Mr. Wolski is confined to his home today as 
result of bruises which he sustained.
Mr. Wolski had spent the day in the country making delivery of cigars and 
collections from his customers and it is believed that the assault was committed 
by some person acquainted with the movements of the victim and who expected to 
rob Wolski of his money. Driving down North Water street Mr. Wolski was attracted 
to a view of the shipyards and the floating dock which was lighted up and had 
stopped his horse for a second to secure a better view. Mr. Wolski had risen to 
his feet and was standing on his wagon when suddenly he was felled by a blow on 
the head for some blunt instrument, believed to have been a sand bag. Wolski did 
not see the approach of his assailant until the man was upon him and he turned 
to face the man, he received the blow which struck him at the left side of the 
head, tore a gash in the scalp and one ear. Wolski fell from the wagon to the 
roadway unconscious where he was found by pedestrians who reached the scene a 
few seconds later.
Two ladies, approaching the scene and who heard the noise, hastened their steps 
and it is believed that this saved Wolski from robbery. If that was the motive of 
the assailant, Mr. Wolski carried a considerable sum of money on his person which 
was found intact and the man had evidently fled to escape detection.
Wolski reached his home in a dazed condition and a physician was called to attend 
him. The police department was notified of the assault and are searching the city 
in an effort to identify the unknown man. Wolski was unable to furnish any 
description, not having seen the man. The assault was one of the boldest that has 
been attempted in the city in years.

DOLLY FLORINDA WOOD WALDO

DEATH CLAIMS ONE OF CITY’S OLDEST RESIDENTS TODAY
Mrs. D.F. Waldo, 89, Passes Away at Her Home on North Fifth Street 
at Advanced Age this Morning
In the death of Mrs. D.F. Waldo, which occurred at the family home 
on North Fifth street at 8:30 this morning, one of the city’s oldest 
residents passed to final rest. Mrs. Waldo was past 89 years of age 
at her death. The announcement of her demise brings keen sorrow to 
many older residents who knew her as a woman of high ideals, unbounded 
charity and hospitality. 
Mrs. Waldo, nee Dolly Florenda Wood, had been a resident of Manitowoc 
for sixty four years and for sixty one years had occupied the home 
where her death occurred today. She was born at Lebanon, Me., July 23, 
1828, and came to Manitowoc in 1853, at that time coming here to visit 
her brother, the late Sylvester Wood. Two years later, on April 18, 
1855, she was married to W.W. Waldo, who preceded her in death some 
years ago. Mrs. Waldo had continued her home here, her daughter, Miss 
Flora, devoting herself to the care of her mother. Despite her advanced 
age Mrs. Waldo enjoyed excellent health up to a few months ago when she 
began to fail and during the past few weeks her decline had been rapid. 
Even in her failing health, however, Mrs. Waldo was always pleased to 
welcome friends and her home, which was her Heaven, and her gracious 
hospitality was manifested until she was denied that happiness by 
weakness of her last illness. Mrs. Waldo is survived by four children, 
George E. of Chicago; Mark of Barstow, Fla.; Mrs. Edward Ross of 
Mansfield, Pa.; Miss Flora Waldo, this city. One half brother, 
Charles L. Wood, of Malden, Mass., also survives. Funeral services 
will be held from the late home Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock.

SYLVESTER A. WOOD

One of our eldest residents, Mr. S.A. Wood, was released from many years of 
illness by his death Tuesday evening. For a long time Mr. Wood, who was known 
by almost every resident of our city, had suffered a gallbladder illness. 
Toward the end the pain was so unbearable that the doctors recommended an 
operation despite his advanced age and weakened condition. Several gall stones 
were removed, but the patient was unable to withstand the shock and died during 
the operation. S.A. Wood was born 14 January 1822 in Acton, Maine, and on 26 
October 1849 arrived in Manitowoc where he has lived ever since. He filled many 
elective offices in the city and county, but was mostly known by everyone because 
of his service as agent for the firm of Hinkley & Allen. Mr. Wood never married 
and is survived by a sister here, Fran Waldo, with whom he lived for many years. 
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon.
Der Nord Westen, 13 Aug. 1908
**********
S. A. Wood, one of the pioneer settlers of Manitowoc, died at the Holy Family 
hospital Tuesday night. Mr. Wood had been in poor heath for some time. He was 
taken to the hospital Monday and on Tuesday underwent an operation for gall 
stones from the effects of which he passed away at midnight. Mr. Wood wrote his 
own obituary notice previous to his death, which is as follows:
"Mr. Wood was born January 14, 1822 at Acton, York Co., Maine, in which county 
he was educated academically, read law and resided until twenty-seven years of 
age when he came to Manitowoc county, arriving here October 26, 1849. After a 
few years of precarious vocation he engaged in the law and real estate business, 
having been admitted to the Manitowoc County Bar, April 26, 1858.
Detesting the corrupt practices of politicians Mr. Wood was never politically 
ambitious and his public promotions were limited to those of village clerk, 
president and village postmaster. He regarded law as among the noblest of the 
learned professions-as one in which, with the requisite legal attainment, 
qualifications and moral integrity, a man may render greater, better and more 
valuable service to his fellow men in the way of uprightness, loyalty and good 
citizenship than usually result from the practice of most other professions. In 
short, he believed in the anomaly, "an honest lawyer" and, on that basis had a 
successful and honorable practice of a decade or so. But the character of most 
of the pioneer litigation, the trivial and revengeful causes from which most of 
it sprang and the usual expectation of most of the clients that a lawyer must 
expose and exhibit all the hatred and animosities which they cherished for their 
opponents, led to such a distate for the practice that he finally lapsed into a 
real estate business that continued in diminishing degree to the time of his 
death."
Mr. Wood was a man of considerable ability, integrity and strong convictions. 
Strong-mindedness characterized him in all his business and social relations. He 
was a man of energy and took an active part in the affairs of the city in the early 
days. When Manitowoc was incorporated as a village in 1851 he was elected the first 
village clerk with George Reed as first president. Later he served as president for 
two years, 1859-60. He was the fourth postmaster of the city, retiring in 1857. For 
the past eight or ten years it was his custom to write a poem on his birthday, and 
he was able to write poetry.
Mr. Wood never married but lived with his sister, Mrs. Waldo, who is the only 
surviving member of the family. He is also survived by two nephews, Mark and George 
Waldo, and two nieces, Mrs. Edward Ross of Mansfield, Penn., and Miss Flora Waldo 
of this city. The funeral will be held from the home on North Fifth street Saturday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.

FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO DEAD
Funeral Services for Late S.A. Wood, Held From Home this Afternoon
Funeral services for the late S.A. Wood were held from the home on North Fifth 
Street at 2 oclock this afternoon and a large assemblage of friends paid a 
tribute of respect to the memory of the dead. Rev. E. C. Potter of St. Paul's 
M.E. Church conducted the burial rites and interment was at Evergreen, a large

Members of the County Bar Association of which Mr. Wood was the oldest member, 
attended the services in a body. Mrs. Paul Kellar and Miss Ethel Hensen rendered 
vocal selections, Mrs. Kellar, a solo, "Just For Today" and with Miss Hensen sang, 
"Nearer My God to Thee" and "Lead Kindly Light" as duets. The pallbearers were 
E. C. Nash, H. G. Kress, Edwin Schuette, Max Rahr, Ned Platt, Chicago and Edward 
Hamilton of Two Rivers. City and county officials attended the funeral.

Attends Funeral in Body and Will Present Memorial in Circuit Court
Called in special session Friday, the Manitowoc County Bar association paid tribute

held this afternoon, in a body and the twenty of the members in this city were 
present at the burial service at the home and escorted the funeral cortege to 
Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. Wood, was one of the oldest attorneys in the county, having 
been admitted to the practice in the courts here in 1853.
Judge Anderson, Judge Baensch and Lyman J. Nash were named as a committee by the 
association to prepare resolutions which will be presented as a  memorial to the 
circuit court on the death of Mr. Wood. The memorial will be presented in court at 
the opening of the January term and the court will probably set aside one session 
to be given over to the presentation and memorial services to the dead. Mr. Wood's 
death is the third in members of the county bar association since its organization

CHILD OF MRS. WOODBRIDGE    (d. 1869)

Child Burned To Death
On Saturday last a Mrs. Woodbridge, who lives on the hill near the lake shore, 
left her little boy, about two years old, alone in the house for a moment, and 
on her return was horrified to find its clothing nearly all burned off, and, 
the little fellow suffering the most excruciating agony. It cannot be ascertained 
how the accident occurred, unless the boy found a match somewhere, lit it and 
thus set fire to his clothes. He died in about two hours after the accident..

********
From the Files of the Pilot - Fifty Years Ago - (1869)
On Saturday morning last a sad accident occurred by which a young child lost 
its life from effects of being burned. On the morning named, as Mrs. Woodbridge, 
wife of Dr. Woodbridge (now absent) was attending to some household duties in 
the basement of her resident, when was startled by the cry of her infant child 
which she had left upstairs and upon reaching the place where it was, she 
discovered it to be in flames. It seems that the clothing of the child was 
ignited from the stove during the absence of the mother and although everything 
possible was done to save it, the little sufferer lingered but about six hours 
when death put an end to its suffering. The child was twenty-one months old, a 
bright and sprightly little boy and quite a favorite of all.

WILLIAM HENRY WOODIN

From the Files of the Pilot - Fifty Years ago (1865)
Died - 
In this village on Monday, July 17, 1865, William H. Woodin, aged 19 years, 
3 months, son of Geo. N. and Phathusa Woodin. The deceased served in the hundred 
day service last summer and at the time of his death was a member of the 27th 
Regiment, having re-enlisted last fall. He was with his company in the capture of 
Mobile after which he was taken sick and removed to the hospital at New Orleans 
and from there to Madison. He returned home only a few days since to die among 
his parents and friends.
Willie Woodin, as he was familiarly called, was the beloved of his friends, and 
the idol of his parents. He had nearly completed the period of his minority, and 
had almost reached that period of life so largely and impatiently waited for by 
every youthful aspirant for the conflicts and successes of life. But a mysterious 
Providence had ordained that he should never realize the glowing hopes of his 
youth! The Destroyer marked him for his own, and human skill nor earthly power 
could avert the blow. Frank in disposition, and manly in deportment, he readily 
won the confidence and esteem of all who knew him, and his friends are called to 
mourn in him the loss of an affectionate son, a kind brother, and generous companion.

torpedoed, the shock carrying away part of the stern of the boat. Had 
it hit forward there probably would have been no one left to tell the 
story as the transport was carrying ???? tons of high explosives. In 
France he went through a railroad ?, a rather frequent occurrence ? in 
which a large number were killed and injured. When the (illegible)…had 
been ordered to the front and in a few days more would have been actual

BABY WOTRUBA

INFANTICIDE.
Last week a young girl about 18 years of age, named Katie Watruba (sic), came 
to the city from Cooperstown. She was on her way to Milwaukee to secure admission 
to some home where she might receive some assistance and hide a shame which 
threatened her. She visited her sister who lives in this city intending to remain 
a couple of days before going to Milwaukee. A physician on whom she called kindly 
informed her that she had no time to lose and that she should at once go where she 
might have proper care. On Thursday night the child was born. The poor girl was 
alone and when the child began to cry she attempted to stifle its screams by 
placing her hand over its mouth. She was crazed with fear and made desperate by 
the strait in which she was. The child was suffocated and she threw the body into 
an earth vault. There it was discovered the next day and on inquiry the whole facts 
were learned.
An inquest was held on Monday and Tuesday before Justice Falge and on the girl’s own 
testimony the jury returned a verdict of death by suffocation. The girl charges a 
young man named John Fagan with being the father of the child. Through his advice 
she left for Milwaukee where the child might be safely delivered and cared for. There 
was no intention of child murder, but unforeseen circumstances left the poor girl 
friendless at a time of great trial. She acted on the impulse of the moment and without 
any conception of the crime she was perpetrating.
The girl is still quite sick and so no arrests have been made. The law officers have 
a very unpleasant task to perform in her case as her guilt cannot be denied, but neither 
can sympathy for her forlorn condition be checked.

Dayton was a beautiful man who selflessly gave of himself. He was a dedicated husband, 
father and grandfather. He was always full of kind words and only found the good in 
people, never the bad. We will miss his warm smile, hugs and kisses. He was always 
satisfied and happy with the simple things in life and never took a moment for granted. 
So many of our friends and family have asked what they could do for us … if we love 
instead of hate, compliment instead of criticize, be positive instead of negative, and 
find the good in each person we meet, then we will have passed around some of the 
goodness of Dayton. That will be the greatest gift of all.
There are no words to express how much we will miss you Dayton, Dad and Grandpa.
We love you so much!
Love,
"Your Little Darlings"

Harry Kelley, the groom's law partner. They left at 3 o'clock for a trip that 
will take them westward over the Canadian route through the Puget Sound region 
and back by way of the Colorado mountains. They plan to be gone about four weeks. 
They will reside at the former home of the bride upon their return.
They are both natives of Manitowoc. The bride is a graduate of the North side High 
School and the Wisconsin Business College. She is a winsome young woman marked by 
a practical turn of mind and common sense. A keen sense of duty that impelled her 
to sacrifice that she never paraded has been the admiration of friends. The groom 
is a lucky man. Mr. Wyseman is a graduate of the South side High School, the 
University of Wiscsonsin Academic Department and the Harvard College of Law. He 
was a scholarship man at college and possesses a quick, logical mind. A conspicuous 
trait is his indefatigable industry. He has the elements of success. He has been 
practicing law as a member of the firm of Kelley and Wyseman since 1904. Mr. and 
Mrs. Wyseman will be at home to friends after December 1.

LEARNS OF AUNT HE NEVER KNEW HAD EXISTED
Inquiry from West Reveals Relative to Local Man
Through inquiries which have been received from Puente, Cal., Arthur Wyseman, 
of the law firm of Kelley & Wyseman, this city, may be in touch with relatives 
he never knew existed and since receipt of the messages, Mr. Wyseman has been 
putting in time investigating family records and tracing the family tree.
The inquiry to the local attorney came from Mrs. Anna Wilken, of the California 
city, who says that she last heard from her brother Robert Wyseman in this city 
many years ago and has since lost trace of him and she requests that the attorney 
look him up. Robert Wyseman, the name given by the California women is that of Mr. 
Wyseman's deceased father, and he believes that the two identities are the same.
Mr. Wyseman said today that he did not know that his father had a sister but that 
the facts developed in the investigation he has conducted as result of the inquiry, 
appears to establish that relationship with the California woman who is thus the 
aunt of the attorney. Mr. Wyseman will make futher investigation and has written 
Mrs. Wilken asking more particulars of her life and relationship to Robert Wyseman.
