G.H. GROFFMAN DIES SUNDAY
Rev. Carl Hagen To Read Funeral Service For Old Manitowoc Resident
George H. Groffman, 85, former police chief and head of the guard force at the 
Manitowoc Ship Building company in World War I, died Sunday at the residence, 
716 North Seventh street. He had been in failing health since last August.
Funeral rites will take place Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the Wattawa, Urbanek and 
Schlei funeral home, the Rev. Carl Hagen officiating. Interment will be in 
Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Groffman was born in this city in 1857 and after completing his schooling, 
took employment with a large Cincinnati firm having a contract for construction 
of the waterworks system in Manitowoc. After the contract here was completed he 
continued as a superintendent for this firm in construction work in other cities 
of the country.
In Laundry Business
Returning to Manitowoc Mr. Groffman formed a partnership with George Gibson in 
the Snow Flake Laundry, located at the present site of the USO Center on York 
street. Later this partnership was dissolved and Mr. Groffman was associated 
with August Srahl in the laundry business for a number of years.
While Mr. Groffman's brother, Charles A. Groffman, was serving as mayor of 
Manitowoc in 1908, the former also became a member of the city's official family, 
being selected to head the Manitowoc Police Department by the Police and Fire 
Commission. Chief Groffman succeeded August Drews, who resigned, and served as 
chief until April 1, 1918, when he resigned to become chief of the guard force at 
the ship yards in World War I, during the period when the company here was 
constructing cargo carries for the U.S. Emergency Fleet corporation.
Chief Groffman was succeeded as head of the Manitowoc department by the late 
Anton Trochiell, who died December 11.
Retired in 1938
Chief Groffman continued at the ship yards until disbanding the guard force after 
the war and then entered the employ of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturaing Company. 
He retired five years ago.
When a young man he served a number of years in the Manitowoc company in the 
Wisconsin National Guard.
Chief Groffman prided himself in possession of one of the most complete collections 
of firearms in the United States. He started his collection many years before he 
became police chief and during the 10 years he served as head of the Department 
added several hundred rare pieces.
Mr. Groffman married Miss Edna Gibson in 1886. She died in 1896 and two yars later 
he married Miss Lulu E. Noies. She survives with two daughters, Mary Lulu, and Alice, 
both of this city; a son, George R., of Mount Vernon, N.Y.; brother, former Mayor 
Charles Groffman of this city and a sister, Mrs. Alvina Dugatt, of Berlin, Wis., 
and two grandchildren.

Dora is the sister of Herman in the following article.
Herman C. Stoll has been identified with the business interests of Kiel for
eighteen years, as local representative of the K. Schreier Brewing Company.
He has passed his entire life in Manitowoc county, and is a native of 
Schleswig township, his birth having occurred there on the 25th of February,
1870. His father, Henry Stoll, was born in Saxe-Gotha, Germany, whence he
emigrated with his parents, Fred and Martha (Keppler) Stoll, in 1849, to the
United States. They first located in Pennsylvania, where the father engaged
in farming. Later they removed to Sheboygan county, Wisconsin, and he 
continued his agricultural pursuits in Meeme township. He subsequently
withdrew from farming, however, and purchased a sawmill at Rockville, this
state, which he operated under the name of Stoll & Son until his death. He
was one of the pioneers of Manitowoc county, and lived to attain the
venerable age of eighty years. Henry Stoll, who is now living retired in
Holstein, Calumet county, this state, at the age of seventy years, was
only a child when he accompanied his parents to America. Upon attaining
manhood he engaged in the lumber and milling business in Wisconsin, meeting
with very good success in the development of his interests. For his wife he
chose Miss Wilhelmina Wagner, a daughter of Fred Wagner, one of the pioneer
settlers of Sheboygan county. The mother is now deceased, having passed
away in 1895, at the age of fifty-one years. Four children were born to 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stoll as follows: Ferdinand; Herman C., our subject;
Dora, the wife of W. Gruhle; and Emma who married H. Reichart of Kiel.
