FRIEDRICH MANDEL PIONEER OF TWO RIVERS PASSES AWAY Frederick Mandel, 81, one of Two Rivers' oldest pioneer settlers passed away at his home in that city Monday. The deceased was born at Bienrode, amt (sic) Ridagschausen Ducy Braunschweug Germany on February 5, 1841. When thirteen years of age he came to this country with his parents. The family settled in Rochester, N.Y. for a few years and then moved to Two Rivers to make their home. Two Rivers at the time was sparsely settled and the family had to clear a piece of land to build a home. Then the civil war broke out and Mandel with two of his older brothers, voluneered (sic) and he became a member of Company D. 27th Regiment of the Wisconsin infantry and served in many battles under General Grant. He was in the service for nearly three years receiving his honorable discharge in 1865. After his return to his home at Two Rivers he married Miss Mary Kampf, who died in 1873, leaving three small children. Later he was married to Johanna Wilsman, and the latter died in 1914.

FREDERICK MANDEL The Mandel family, when they started on their journey to America, listened to the advice of mother and took a lot of their own provisions with them. Subsequent events proved the wisdom of this for on board the ship the other german passengers nearly starved. The crew of the ship were all Irish. The passengers had to do all their own cooking at the oven. The Irish crew of the ship were very hostile towards the Germans on board and whenever the latter went to prep for a meal, they were molested by them so that frequent fights occurred and many were deprived of food for days at a time. A terrible storm overtook the ship on the second day out and broke off the main mast. Another disagreeable feature about the ship's journey was that cholera broke out on board. Of the hundred and sixty passengers fifty-four died of this dread disease. The ship was thirty-seven days enroute from Liverpool to New York. Fred A. Mandel, the subject of this sketch was fourteen years of age when he arrived here with his father, David Mandel and the rest of the family. They arrived at New York on May 28, 1854 and remained there until April 19, 1855 when they all came to Two Rivers. Almost immediately upon their arrival the father claimed a section of land on Range 24, Town of Two Rivers. One hundred and twenty acres of this is at present the farm of Fred A. Mandel. The first neighbor to settle near them was Theodore Stolberg. The main work of the pioneer was of course to clear away the timber and erect a log house. The Mandel's made 140 cords of tan bark for the Wisconsin Leather Company in their first season on the farm. This helped them out well financially for their German money was all gone by this time. They were able to buy oxen and wagons for getting out the tan bark. Through the kindness of Mr. Whitcomb of the tannery who advanced the money. With the oxen, other necessary equipment the Mandel's were now able to clear away the timber and lay the foundation of their beautiful farm. Fred Mandel is a veteran of the Civil War. He and two of his brothers, Henry and Theodore enlisted in the 27th Wisconsin Infantry in August, 1862. They enlisted at Manitowoc. Coming to Two Rivers next morning, they stopped at the saloon of August Weilop. When Mr. Weilop learned that they had enlisted he said that they would now be entitled to a $25 stove which Robert Suettinger, the hardware man, had offered to the first two brothers who would enlist. The Mandel's had heard nothing about this before but they went to Mr. Suettinger's store and he awarded the stove to them. They sent it home to the farm while they went off to war. Henry Mandel never returned. He was mortally wounded on the battlefield. Fred escaped death or injury on the battlefield but was sent home broken down in health which he soon however fully recovered. Mr. Frederick Mandel received a common school education in Germany but his knowledge of English was obtained here without any further schooling. That he is well versed in general is shown by the fact that he was School Clerk of the Town of Two Rivers for twenty-four years and School District Treasurer for ten and six years Town Assessor. Mr. Mandel at the age of seventy-two and 1/2 years is in good health and with his wife is enjoying the fruits of many years of hard work on his farm just north of the city.
