Gestorben.  In der Nacht von Montag auf Dienstag starb die Gattin des

resident of the north side Manitowoc. The burial took place yesterday afternoon. 
The deceased was a daughter of the Mr. Hermann Lindemann from the Township of 
Eaton."-interpretation by Emilie B. Lindemann

(Comment: The obituary of Auguste Klug née Lindemann does not scarcely mention 
her by name. It was as if the weekly newspaper in which published this notice 
reported…what's with all of the commotion in town? It was the funeral yesterday-
the church bells tolled 23 times for Auguste Klug-then the procession left First 
German Ev. Lutheran Church and headed up to big hill, to bury her remains at 
Evergreen Cemetery.  What's more, her father brought the family via horse and 
carriage to town, all of the way from the Township of Liberty where they have 
lived for the past year)

WILHELMINE (OCHS) KLUG    cemetery #44

Gestorben.   Frau Wilhelmine Klug, geb. Ochs, die Gattin des Herrn Albert 
Klug, 26. und Wollmer Strasse wohnhaft, wurde am Samstag plötzlich aus dem 
Leben abberufen. Sie war schon seit längerer Zeit an einem Herzleiden 
erkrankt, doch war sie nie an das Bett gesesselt, und niemand hatte geahut, 
dass augenblicklich Todesgefahr vorhanden sei. Am Samstag Nachmittag, als 
sie mit ihrem dreijährigen Söhnschen allein zuhause war, brach sie plötzlich 
zusammen und stürzte zu Boden. Glücklicherweise wurde sie hier bald gefunden 
und wurde ärztliche Hülfe gerufen, doch vergeblich, denn wenige Stunden später 
gab sie ihren Geist auf. Frau Klug war geboren am 25. Oktober 1867 in Mishicott; 
ihr Alter bertug also 37 Jahre und nahezu 10 Monate. Sie hinterlässt einen 
trauernden Gatten und fünf Kinder: Emma, Eduard, Walter, Elsa und Georg. Das 
Begräbniss fand am Dienstag unter Leitung des Herrn Past. Machmüller auf dem 
Evergreen Friedhofe statt. Den hinterbliebenen unser Beileid.

"Obituary.   Mrs. Wilhelmine Klug, née Ochs, the wife of Mr. Albert Klug, 
26 and Wollmer Street residence, was on Saturday suddenly called away from 
life. She was already since a time in heart-failing sickness, but was never 
confined to bed and no one had suspected the moment of death had come. On 
Saturday afternoon she was with her three year old son alone home, she 
suddenly collapsed to the ground. As luck would have it she was soon found 
here and doctorly help was called upon, despite this, a few hours later she 
gave up her ghost. Mrs. Klug was born 25 October 1867 in Mishicot; her age

MICHAEL KLUSTIN   cemetery #89A

Michael Klustin, 52 (picture), a Russian who came to Manitowoc to start life 
anew in the United Sates and who later located at Kewaunee, died yesterday 
afternoon in a Green Bay hospital.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Pfeffer funeral home, 
the Rev. A.C. Fischer officiating. Burial will be in Pioneers Rest cemetery, 
Two Rivers.
Mr. Klustin was employed as a bookkeeper at the Wood-Steel Products company in 
Kewaunee and was taken suddenly ill Sunday and moved to Green Bay. He had no 
immediate survivors. He was born in Russia in 1895.
When he came to this city last January, he was a guest at the August Gloe home. 
He met James Gloe, a son of the Gloes, in Germany shortly before V-E day while 
he was acting as an interpreter for the American military government in which 
Gloe was an officer. It was the Manitowoc man who suggested that Klustin come 
to America which he eventually did. For a time he was employed by the Aluminum 
Goods Manufacturing company. 
Taken into captivity when the Wehrmacht overran Yugoslavia, Klustin was saved 
from the brutal labor policy of a German slate mine by his mastery of five 
languages and was pressed into service as an interpreter for the Nazis.
Following his arrival in this city, Klustin, told a Herald-Times reporter that 
the Nazi taskmasters at the slate mine were leading examples of animal 
brutishness and reported witnessing numerous acts of cruelty on the part of 
Nazi guards.
After the German surrender Klustin continued working for the AMG until he was 
able to arrange passage to this country.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home after 7 o'clock tonight.

GEORGIA B. KNAPP   cemetery #4

From Der Nord Westen, 15 June 1905:
A terrible accident happened Tues. evening near Quarry, 
which lies on the Wisconsin Central Railroad about 16 
miles from here. A bridge crosses the Manitowoc River 
there and it appears as though Miss Georgia Knapp, 
daughter of Quarry resident A.D. Knapp, along with other 
girls, tried to climb into a rubber boat. Whether she 
slipped or whether the boat tipped, the other girls were 
not able to say, but she fell into the water which was 
swollen and turbulent because of the recent heavy rains. 
She drowned within sight of her companions. John Last, 
a young man who is in the employ of the Knapps, and who 
saw the incident, jumped in to save her, but was picked 
up by the wild stream and he quickly drowned as well. 
The 2 girls, who had been witness to the event without 
being able to help, went screaming to the Knapp residence 
and told the parents of the misfortune…. Help was obtained 
and the search begun for the bodies as soon as grappling 
hooks arrived from Manitowoc, and with their use both bodies 
were found yesterday morning. John Last comes from Grafton, 
Fond du Lac County, where his parents reside. His father 
was notified by telegraph and arrived yesterday to claim 
his 24-yr. old son’s body. Miss Knapp was 16 yrs. of age 
and was her parents only child. The poor mother was so 
terribly stricken by the event that one fears for her life.

EDMUND KNUTH   cemetery #78

Edmund Knuth Dies In Car Crash 
INSTANT DEATH RESULTS WHEN AUTOS COLLIDE
Alfred Schroeder Car Involved In Fatal Crash Near Collins Village
Edmund Knuth, 42 and single, town of Rockland farmer and World War veteran, 
was almost instantly killed early Sunday evening when the light truck he 
was driving collided at a highway intersection two miles southwest of the 
village of Collins with a small sedan driven by Alfred Schroeder, 19, of 
Route 2, Reedsville.
The dead man, who was returning to the Knuth home from his 40-acre tract 
of land when the accident happened, was a former commander of the Gosz post 
of the American Legion at Reedsville.
Investigation of the accident by Coroner Gerald Rau of Two Rivers and 
Motorcycle Officer William Braun disclosed that the headlights of the Knuth 
truck were dimmed by a burlap covering thrown over the radiator of the 
truck by Knuth and that Schroeder whose car had the right of way at the 
intersection did not see Knuth until a collision was unavoidable.
Schroeder, who sustained only slight injuries in the accident, ran to the 
Ernst Wagner farm home, a quarter of a mile away, to summon help. When they 
reached the scene they found that Knuth was dead. He sustained a fractured 
skull, broken neck, cuts and gashes about the body and internal injuries.
Saw No Headlights
Schroeder, in telling of the accident to Coroner Rau, said he saw no 
headlights on the approaching Knuth truck coming onto the highway at the 
intersection known as the Woodcock school corner. Both the truck and the 
Schroeder car went into the ditch 50 feet from the scene of the collision.
Marks on the Schroeder car showed that Knuth must have been thrown from 
his truck and against the side of the Schroeder car. As the accident is 
reconstructed, Knuth, whose truck has no top, was thrown out of his seat 
against the side of the Schroeder car and then back into the box of his 
truck.
His face bleeding from cuts and abrasion, young Schroeder, who was alone 
in his car, staggered into the Wagner farm home shortly after 6 p.m. 
Sunday to tell of the accident. While he was hurried to the office of a 
physician at St. Nazianz by Gottfried Draheim, others went to the scene 
of the accident. There they found the truck and the Schroeder car in the 
ditch with Knuth's dead body in the rear of the truck.
Burlap coverings over the hood of the Knuth truck evidently obscured the 
headlights. The right front headlight on the truck, where it struck the 
Schroeder car, was partly exposed, the burlap having been torn off from 
the headlight.
When help reached the scene they found that the engine of the Schroeder 
car was still running and the lights on.
The Knuth family were notified of the fatal accident and the body was 
removed to the Berge undertaking parlors at Valders.
The deceased had gone to his 
(Continued on Page 2)
(Continued from Page 1)
40-acre tract located a short distance from the other Knuth holdings to 
do his nightly chores there and was enroute back home when the accident 
happened. He was driving south and met the Schroeder car coming east on 
the town line road between Rockland and Eaton.
Coroner Rau, after taking the statement from Schroeder and viewing the 
scene of the accident, decided that there would be no inquest.
Was Farmer
Edmund Knuth had been engaged in farming most of his life and lived in 
Rockland. His survivors are his mother, Mrs. Michael Knuth, three sisters, 
Elsie at home, Mrs. William Gumm of Sheboygan and Mrs. William Draheim of 
Withee, Wis., and three brothers, Richard and William of Rockland and 
Herman of Howard's Grove.
The deceased served overseas in the World War, being in France for 13 
months. On returning he joined the Gosz post of Reedsville and three 
years ago served a term as commander.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon from the Knuth home in 
Rockland and later from the German Lutheran church in the town. The 
remains will be removed to the home from the Berge undertaking parlors 
on Tuesday.

From Der Nord Westen, 30 Sep. 1909:
(From the correspondent in Mishicott, 28 Sep.)
Last week we reported that Mr. K. Knudson was quite ill, 
and now we must report his death. Mr. Knudson died Friday 
morning surrounded by his children. Until the last two 
weeks the old gentleman was always hale and hearty and had 
reached his 83rd year before suffering the heart disease 
which caused his death. He is survived by 3 children, all 
in good circumstances – Chas. Knudson of Lambkin, Texas, 
Mrs. C.A. Tuemstra of Belding, Michigan, and Miss Sophie 
Knudson who operates her father’s business. The very large 
funeral was held Monday from the Norwegian Church in Town 
Gibson. The G.A.R. Post, of which he was a member, gave 
their old comrade his final escort. Also, Mr. O. Christianson 
of Chicago spent several days in our city to attend the 
funeral of Mr. Knudson.
