HERMAN SCHOLZ

Herman Scholz, 19, met with death Monday afternoon shortly after one 
o'clock at St. Nazinaz while attempting to take down an electric light 
wire from a windmill at the Salvatorian College, where he was employed 
by Kretsch Brothers.
The wires, a part of the Badger Public Service Company's system, were 
to be taken down from the windmill and placed underground. They were 
used to carry current to a motor in a little pumphouse at the base of 
the windmill. They carried 220 volts.
No eye witnesses were present when the accident occurred, but Charles 
Berg, a helper, was in the pump-house when the tragedy took place. Herman 
had left the shed, says Mr. Berg, to climb the tower to disconnect the 
wires, evidently not knowing they were charged. After about a minute Mr. 
Berg says he heard a cry, but paid no attention, thinking the sound came 
from a nearby barn where a number of men were working.
Immediately after, however, he heard what he thought might be a pair of 
pliers dropping on the roof of the shed. He then went outside, when he 
saw the young man suspended from the tower by means of the safety belt 
which he had attached to the framework.
Mr. Berg immediately called for help, and with the aid of ropes workmen 
succeeded in bringing the body to the ground. Dr. L. W. Gregory of St. 
Nazianz came upon the scene almost as soon as the body was brought down, 
but was already too late to give aid. The men attempted to revive the boy 
in the brief time before the doctor arrived. The entire tragedy, according 
to Mr. Berg, was enacted in less than five minutes. Fellow workmen say 
that Herman was always afraid of working with or near charged wires.
The body was shortly after brought to Kiel to the Meiselwitz undertaking 
parlors. No severe burns were inflicted upon the young man.
Herman was born in Kiel, July 21, 1907, and had lived here with his parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. William Scholz, all his life. Both his parents survive him, as 
do two younger brothers, Harvey and William. He was popular with the younger 
people of the city, and was well liked by his employers and fellow workmen.
He was a member of Kiel's baseball team, playing shortstop, and was highly 
thought of by his team-mates. He was also a member of the Redmen, where his 
circle of friends was large. He had attended high school until his junior 
year, when he dropped out.
Funeral services are being held at 1:30 Thursday at the Scholz home, and at 
2 o'clock at the Reformed church. Interment will be made in the Kiel cemetery. 
The Rev. Otto Saewert will officiate. Pallbearers are Charles Davenport, 
Walter Kuester, Chester Boeselager, Hugo Graf, Howard Grabs and Fred Zarnoth.

PAUL O. SCHUBERT

P. O.  Schubert Dies Friday at Hospital
Paul O. Schubert, age 90, veteran business man of our city, passed 
away last Friday, Oct 26, at 7 o’clock  in the morning at the St. 
Nicholas hospital in Sheboygan, after being confined there for 11 
weeks.
On August 8, he suffered a fall while engaged in his work in his 
studio. Apparently on the road to recovery, he passed away very 
suddenly.
Born in Leschwitz bei Goerlitz, Germany, July 25, 1855, son of 
Johann Gottlieb and Rabel Becker Schubert, he migrated with his 
parents to America, coming to Sheboygan. Two years later, at the 
age of nine years, he came to Kiel with his family, settling on 
the present site of the Marquardt and Paulsen homes. Erecting a 
log home, the family became one of the pioneer settlers. As a very 
young assistant to his father, who was a stone mason, he helped to 
build such places as the “cooling cellar” in the present Fred Sieling 
grocery store. At the age of fifteen years, he traveled to Sheboygan 
on foot. While aimlessly wandering around on the streets there, he 
stopped before a display case in front of the George Groh photograph 
gallery and then and there decided to become a photographer. Admiring 
the ambition in one so young, Mr. Groh immediately hired him as an 
apprentice. Being penniless he asked the owner of the Mohr Bakery for 
a place to eat and sleep. Mr. Mohr provided him with shelter and food 
in return for which he paddled rolls at four o’clock every morning. 
After five years of apprenticeship, he bought a horse and wagon. He 
equipped the wagon as a photograph gallery. With Kiel his headquarters, 
he traveled around in this vicinity, taking tintype pictures. On Sundays 
he photographed in Kiel, parking his wagon on the site of the Standard 
Oil Co. station on the corner of Fremont and Seventh streets. With the 
rapid growth of his business, he established himself in larger quarters 
on the present location.
In 1880 he entered into a partnership with his brother, Fred, identifying 
the business as the Schubert Brothers Studio. Branch studios were operated 
in Franklin, New Holstein, Chilton, Hilbert, Hayton, Marytown, Brillion, 
and Random Lake. He was associated in the partnership until February, 1932, 
when Fred died. Since then he conducted the business with the assistance 
of his niece, Mrs. Edgar A. Paulsen.
“Uncle Paul,” as he was affectionately known, traveled extensively in 
Europe and the United States. Always a ready conversationalist he was 
vitally and keenly interested in current affairs.
Mr. Schubert was a former member of the Wisconsin National Guard. He was 
associated with the state and national photographers associations, Kiel 
Chamber of Commerce, Odd Fellows, and a charter member of the First 
Presbyterian church of Kiel. He was an active photographer for 75 years.
He always lived with his brother, Fred and family. After Fred’s demise he 
maintained his home at the Schubert homestead with his niece, Mrs. E.R. 
Hayner and family.
The Rev. R.E. Dreger officiated at the funeral services at the Presbyterian 
church, on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Mrs. Eugene Thieleke, accompanied 
by Mr. Schubert’s grandniece, Karen Jan Hayner, sang “I Heard the Voice of 
Jesus Say” and “The Lord’s Prayer.”
The pallbearers were six nephews: Raymond, Rewald, Elmer and Harry Schubert, 
Arthur Eick and Edwin Hayner.
The survivors are his sister, Mrs. Selma Traute of Sheboygan, six nieces, 
Mrs. Vincent Rose and Miss Louise Schubert of Milwaukee; Mrs. Arthur Eick 
and Miss Ida Traute of Sheboygan; Mrs. Edwin Hayner and Mrs. Edgar Paulsen 
of this city; four nephews: Raymond Schubert of Sheboygan, and Rewald, Elmer 
and Harry Schubert of Milwaukee; seven grandnieces, one grandnephew and one 
great-grand-nephew.
***********
From The History of Kiel
About 1875, Paul O. Schubert, who had served a five year apprenticeship 
photographer at the George Groh Gallery in Sheboygan, purchased a horse 
and wagon and equipped the wagon as a photo gallery. With Kiel serving 
as his headquarters he traveled around the adjoining communities, taking 
tin type pictures. On Sundays he did photography in Kiel, parking his 
wagon on the corner of Fremont and 7th Streets (702 Fremont). Business 
boomed and it wasn't long before Paul established himself at 608 Fremont 
Street. In 1880, he entered into a partnership with his brother, Fred, 
calling the business Schubert Brothers Studio. Known for their quality 
photography, branch studios were operated in Franklin, New Holstein, 
Chilton, Hilbert, Hayton, Marytown, Brillion and Random Lake. In 1932, 
after Fred had passed away, Paul conducted his business with the assistance 
of his niece, Mrs. Edgar A Paulsen, until the time of his death, October 26, 
1945, at the age of 90. He had been an active photographer for 75 years.

Schwartz, was born on September 9, 1915, at the north end of Monroe Street in New 
Holstein and passed away at the Atrium nursing home on the south end of Monroe 
Street. Her family was pleased to have a girl after four boys, so Lucille came to 
be called Girlie Gartzke by many and for many years. As a young woman, Lucille was 
a switchboard operator in New Holstein. On December 7, 1940, she married Oliver 
Schwartz. They had three children. Kathleen (Gary) Wauters, Hobart, Wayne (deceased) 
and Jean (Jim) Kopecky, Evansville. Lucille had a great love for her children and 
she brought them up to love the Lord, teaching them about Him and always making sure 
they got to Sunday School and church. She spent most of her married life in Howards 
Grove, where she enjoyed being a homemaker. Lucille was very caring and generous. 
If she had two dollars, and someone needed one dollar, she gladly gave it. In her 
younger days, Lucille enjoyed walking including walking around Elkhart Lake many 
times. She spent many hours playing her piano, alone and with her daughters. She 
enjoyed playing games with her children and grandchildren and reading, especially 
her Bible. 
Lucille is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, eleven grandchildren, two great 
grandsons, also four step-grandchildren, ten step-great-grandchildren and five step-
great-great-grandchildren. Lucille was a faithful member of Trinity Lutheran Church, 
Howards Grove for much of her life.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Julius and Emma Gartzke, her husband, Oliver, 
brothers, Elmer, Walter, Albert and Harry and her beloved son, Wayne.
Kathleen and Jean have high praise for the Atrium family who for fourteen years cared 
for and treated Mom as they would their own mother. Also a heartfelt thank you to 
Christine, NP, and the Heartland Hospice group for their skilled care and concern 
during Lucille's final days.
