LUDEKE DUNEKACK ANSWERS LAST ROLL CALL Ludekuke Dunekake, Veteran of the Mexican War, Passes Away Ludekuke Dunekake, an old and highly respected citizen of the town of Newton, answered to the last roll call at the home of his son-in-law, Ferdinand Nuebuer (Huebner?) at that place, early Saturday morning. Death was due to the infirmities incident of old age and although not wholly unexpected, was a severe shock to the family. The deceased was 82 years of age and was a veteran of the Mexican War. Ludekuke Dunekake, the subject of this sketch first saw the light of day at Hanover, Germany in April, 1816. At an early age, in company with his parents, emigrated to America locating in Ohio. When the war with Mexico broke out he enlisted and served throughout as a member of Co. C, Fifteenth Ohio Infantry, receiving his discharge, Aug. 6, 1848. In 1853 he removed to Wisconsin and located in the town of Newton. He was married in 1854 to a young lady of that place; three children blessed their union. His wife preceded him to the other shore a number of years ago and since that time he has made his home with his daughter. The three children who survive him are: Mrs. Mary Schwanz, Mrs. Ferdinand Huebner and Louis Dunekake. He was a modest man, avoiding notoriety, but none ever appealed to him in vain for a favor and in his quiet way, he has lessened the burden of friends and neighbors in many instances. The deceased was a man of high character, respected by all who knew him and his death will bring sadness to many hearts. Funeral services were held at the late home this afternoon and were largely attended. The interment was in the Lutheran Cemetery at Newton.

WILHELM JOHANN GROTH From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - 1893 Death in a Well Wm. Groth and Herman Welk, the former a resident of Manitowoc Rapids and the latter of Newton, lost their lives yesterday afternoon while digging a well on the farm of the first named. Welk follows the business of well drilling and is 28 years of age, unmarried, but engaged. Groth is a married man and is 32 years of age. The well had been dug in depth of 37 feet. Yesterday morning, Welk complained that he was unable to work below for lack of air. A bluish, sticky, damp clay had been reached and he was boring through this with a post auger at the time. In the afternoon he was let down again, but the two above, Groth and Jo Koelzer not hearing anything from him looked down the well and saw him lying prostrate at the bottom. Groth immediately prepared to descend, but fearing gas, told Koelzer to be ready to draw him up when he requested. He had preceded but a little ways when he shouted to pull him out, but quickly lost his hold and went to the bottom. His body was drawn out by means of a hook but it was impossible to secure Welk's body in this way. Apparatus was brought from the city and at 11 o'clock last night, Welk's body was brought to the surface. The faces of both were blue and congested. Dr. Luhmann went out and tested the well by means of a candle. The candle went out when eleven feet from the surface just as if immersed in water. There are marshes in the neighborhood of the well but the gas seems to come from the sticky clay before mentioned as nothing seemed to emanate from the bed of gravel through which the well was dug.
