EMMA BURGER   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 24 Sept. 1908: 
Death Tuesday afternoon from consumption of Miss Emma Burger, adopted
daughter of widow Mrs. Henry Burger here. The deceased was born 27 
April 1883 here in Manitowoc and was adopted by the Henry Burger family 
at age 6. She fell ill with pneumonia last autumn, followed by consumption 
which attacked so quickly that all hope of recovery was abandoned. The 
funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.


HENRY BURGER   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 27 June 1907: 
Death yesterday, following a long illness, of Henry Burger, who until a few
years ago was one of the most eminent industrialists in our city… Mr. Burger 
was born 21 December 1839 in Germany and came to America with his parents as 
a 7-year old boy. The family settled in the State of New York from where the 
lad went toward the northwest when he was 17. He came to Wisconsin, worked 
for a while on a farm near Waukesha, and then went to Milwaukee to work at 
the old Wolf Shipyard where he built his reputation as a shipbuilder. Early 
in 1863 he came to Manitowoc to begin shipbuilding here. On 04 November of 
that same year he married Miss Mary Esslinger, daughter of then postmaster 
Charles Esslinger, his now surviving widow. Shipbuilding was increasing here 
and many steamships and sailing ships were built here every year. Mr. Burger 
associated himself in 1873 with Mr. Green Rand, and the firm of Rand & Burger 
quickly became first in local shipbuilding. The Goodrich Transit Co. had them 
build their steamships and they also built vessels for local and outside firms. 
Mr. Rand died in 1886 at which time Mr. Burger associated with his nephew, 
George Burger, and continued the firm under the name Burger & Burger. In 1887 
this firm acquired the local dry dock which they enlarged and improved. The 
firm earned the reputation of being one of the best and most competent ship-
building firms in the industry, but during this time wooden ships were no 
longer needed and the construction of ships with steel became general.
Mr. Burger sold the Burger & Burger firm in 1902 to what is now the Manitowoc
Dry Dock Co., and retired after 40 years of activity. A few weeks ago he caught 
a cold which the doctors were unable to cure and from which he grew steadily 
weaker leading to his death yesterday… His death is mourned by his widow and 
2 adopted daughters, Mrs. A. Mueller in Milwaukee, and Miss Emma Burger here, 
as well as a sister Mrs. Margarethe Wolf in Seattle, Washington, and his 
nephews Geo. and Henry Burger, Jr., here. The funeral will be held Saturday 
afternoon at 2 p.m. from the funeral home on the corner of 9th and Hamilton 
Streets.
         ************
From Der Nord Westen, 04 July 1907: 
Mr. and Mrs. A. Moeller of Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burmeister
of Terre Haute, Indiana, and Arthur Esslinger and his daughter of 
Danville, Illinois, were here to attend the funeral of Henry Burger.

two years. In 1902 he bought the property in St. Nazianz, which since served 
as his residence and bakery.
On November 30, 1912 he was married to Miss Susan Platten of St. Nazianz by 
the Rev. Epiphanius Deibele at St. Gregory's church.
Survivors are his widow and several nieces and nephews. His brother, Anton,

A terrible accident occurred yesterday. Gilbert B. Burnett, bookkeeper in the 
office of Messrs. Burger & Burger, Shipbuilders, worked yesterday and left the 
office at 5 p.m. to go home. As was his custom he began crossing the train 
trestle of the Wisconsin & Central Railroad. As he was crossing he saw that a 
freight engine was backing up toward him so he ran back to the end of the 
trestle but tripped and fell. 
The train went over both ankles totally severing both his feet. As soon as the 
engine could be stopped he was taken to the ship firm's office where an ambulance 
was summoned by telephone and he was rushed to the hospital. The doctors could do 
nothing for the 78-yr. old man except try to ease his pain. Mr. Burnett had worked

it struck loose gravel, at the bottom of a hill, and he was found dead

feet tall and was thought to have been the biggest man in the county. With 
the exception of a broken wind shield and top, the car suffered little

ELMER H. BUSWELL   cemetery #82

E.H. BUSWELL IS CALLED
Our community was shocked on Friday evening upon leaning the sad
news that Elmer H. Buswell, the well-known former local railroad
station agent, had passed away. Heart trouble was the cause of
death. Mr. Buswell had been in poor health for some time, which
compelled him to give up his position with the railroad company
about six months ago. He was owner of the city dray and attended
to collections, etc., up to a few weeks ago, when he was forced
to remain at home.
Mr. Buswell was born May 26, 1864, on a farm near Amherst Junction,
Wis., where he grew to manhood. He took up telegraphy and secured 
a position as operator at the C. M. & St. P. station at Plymouth, 
where he was married in 1894 to Ellen Maria Knowd, daughter of the 
station agent there at that time. After residing in  Plymouth and 
Thiensville for nine years Mr. Buswell was station agent at Crivitz 
for six years, and at De Pere for three years. In 1912 he was 
transferred to Kiel, where he lived with his family up to the time, 
of his death. Mr. Buswell was for over thirty years a faithful and 
hard-working employee of the railroad company, and the patrons in 
Kiel have only words of commendation for his tireless and accommodating 
service. He took much interest in the civic affairs of our city and
was a devout member of the First Presbyterian church. He was a devoted 
husband and father and gave the best that was in him for the advancement 
and interest of his family. He will be missed in the home and also in
the community of which he was a part.
Mr. Buswell is survived by his widow and four children, Mrs. Ann Curtiss 
of Crivitz, Wis., Harold of Amasa, Mich., Walter of Kiel, and Henry at
home; also two grandchildren.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at the late home, Rev.
T. R. Niven of Portage, former minister of the Presbyterian church, 
officiating. The obsequies were in charge of Kiel Lodge No. 212, 
I. 0. 0. F., of which, deceased was a member, six lodge brothers acting 
as pallbearers.
He also belonged to the Kiel Assembly E.F.U., members of both organizations
attending the funeral. Interment was made in the Kiel cemetery.

WILHELM F.A. BUTH   cemetery #17

From Der Nord Westen, 11 July 1895: 
A terrible accident took place Mon. in Cooperstown. Carl Knuth whose barn
had been destroyed by fire last Fall, as we reported, began to build a new 
barn and his friends and neighbors have been helping him. On Mon. morning 
they wanted to raise the center beam of the roof. Mr. Krueger, Wilhelm Buth, 
Gustav Schley, and Emil Krolow climbed up and started work. Unfortunately, 
a weak board with a large knothole was positioned and broke. The 4 mentioned 
men fell about 12 ft. to the ground. Wilhelm Buth was struck so hard on the 
head that his skull was fractured and the brain exposed. He died before help 
could be given. Gustav Schley broke an arm and suffered a head wound, as well 
as requiring the removal of a splinter from his back. Emil Krolow suffered a 
broken leg and Krueger a broken arm. The deceased, Wilhelm Buth who leaves a 
widow and 3 children, was carried to his home where his wife was so overcome 
that there was concern for her well-being. The deceased was buried yesterday 
among a large following of mourners. The injured men are doing well.
