AN OLD SETTLER DEAD 
Joachim Schildhauer, an old and respected citizen of this vicinity, died 
Thursday of last week. He came here in the long ago pioneer days of New 
Holstein, and in a quite, unostentatious way took part in the building up 
of the community of which be became a part. He was always a great lover of 
music and his home was always the center of music and song. He was one of 
the first members of the mannerchor in the early days when Mr. Luetchge 
was the director and was a member of the village band at that time. His 
sons followed in the footsteps of their father in music and many a delightful 
times were spent singing and playing on their instruments.
Joachim Schildhauer was born in Vogelgesang, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, 
January 24, 1825 of good parentage. In 1851 he immigrated to America and 
came to New Holstein to seek his fortune. He was a cabinet maker by trade.
In 1853 he built a saw mill and run it by water power from a little stream 
on his farm one mile east of the village. Later he erected a flour mill.
On November 23,1855 he was united in marriage to Dorothea Kuehl, who has 
been a great help mate through all the long years of their wedded life. 
Ten children came to their fireside circle, all of whom are living except 
Rudolph the youngest of the family. The children living are: Herman, George, 
William, Mrs. H.M. Thiessen, Ellen and Clara of New Holstein, Henry of Boise, 
Idaho; Mrs. Herman Franke, Lincoln, Nebr; Edward, at Washington D.C. The 
funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Turner hall and the 
remains interred in the New Holstein cemetery. Wm. H. Luehr of Manitowoc 
spoke a few consoling words at the hall and cemetery. The Mannerchor sang 
at the hall. A large cortege of people followed the remains to their last 
resting place.

parents in 1852. Three years later she was married to Joachim Schildhauer who 
preceded her in death March 3, 1921. She has resided on the Schildhauer farm 
one mile east of this city since her marriage. She proved a great helpmate to 
her husband through the long years of their married life.

the youngest, Rudolph. The children living are Herman, George, William, Mrs. 
H.M. Thiessen, Ellen and Clara of New Holstein. Henry of Boise, Idaho: Mrs.
