******** ONLY 6 OF 235 DESCENDANTS OF PIONEER LUTZE FAMILY NOT AT REUNION ON SUNDAY Two hundred thirty-five persons participated in an unusual and interesting outing that was held on the old Lutz farm on the Union road near Centerville Sunday, the participants being descendants of Gottlieb and Fredericka Lutze who settled in the town on June 14, 1849, more than seventy-five years ago, and were among the first of the early day pioneers of the county.

Under the spreading branches of a tree which was planted by his mother from seeds brought from across the sea, Mr. Lutze welcomed the assemblage and referred to the tree and its history, which dates back seventy-five years. The Rev. Toepel, a grandson, gave an address in which he spoke of the wisdom of the forefathers in coming to America, and the purpose that accentuated their sacrifice of wealth and affluence in the old country to undergo the hardship of a pioneer land that their children might enjoy broader opportunity in a land which in that day was pictured as one of opportunity. Interesting review was made by Rev. Toepel of the early struggles of the pioneer couple in doing out a home and future in the new land, of the days noted in history when his grand father, wooden shoed walked from the home to Sheboygan a distance of fifteen miles on many occasions. He recalled that history note that the first services of the Lutherans of the community was held at the Lutze home, the pioneer couple having been ardent workers for the church doing their lives.

HAROLD REINEMANN Cleveland Boy Is Drowned Tuesday Authorities and boy scouts are dragging Cedar Lake today for the body of Harold Reinemann, 21, Cleveland, Wis., who drowned late Tuesday afternoon as he was swimming with three companions. Harold was accompanied to the lake by his brother, Willard, his cousin, Albert Reinemann, of Sheboygan, and his brother-in-law, Robert Mazzlie, of Cleveland, Ohio. The four were swimming off Heideman's point on the south side of the lake. At the time the drowning occurred, Harold, who was not a good swimmer, was hanging on to the end of a boat rowed by his brother. He lost his grip on the boat and a strong west wind hindered Willard's bringing the boat back to the place where Harold had slipped off. Willard made several unsuccessful attempts to to seize his brother. The brothers were about 60 feet from shore when the mishap took place. The depth there is from 20 to 25 feet. Robert Mazzie had just dived off the boat and was swimming toward shore when he heard shouts for help. When they were unable to rescue Harold, the boys immediately rowed against the strong wind to the pavilion on the northwest side of the lake for aid. In the meantime word was received of the tragedy at the Rakilio scout camp just around the point on the opposite side of the lake. Phil Schneider, waterfront director, promptly called his crew of life savers and went to the scene. Those who dove for the body were John Murphy, Don Eckardt. Dick Whinfield, E. Lutze, LeRoy Metcher and Henry Hoerz. Sheriff Norman Berkedal and deputies of Manitowoc county arrived to direct rescue operations, and the Kiel fire department hurried to the lake with a pulmotor. The combined rescue crew worked until nightfall Tuesday without success. Operations were resumed early this morning. It was the first drowning in Cedar Lake in 12 years. Harold George Reinemann was born June 13, 1917, in Cleveland, Wis. He attended grade school there and high school at Sheboygan and was active in athletics. After leaving high school he was employed as a truck driver by his cousin, Alfred Reinemann, a dairy farmer near Cleveland. He was a member of the Young Luther Guild of the St. Peter and St. John Lutheran chruch. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Reinemann; three sisters, Mrs. Robert Mazzle, of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Walter Voigt and Mrs. Jack Kober, of Sheboygan; a brother, Willard, at home, and his grandmother, Mrs. Oscar Barthel, of Sheboygan. Sheboygan Press, Wednesday, July 20, 1938 P. 1 ********** Victim's Body Recovered Today At Cedar Lake The body of Harold Reinemann, 21, a victim of drowning in Cedar Lake Tuesday afternoon, was recovered at 9 a.m., today. Sheriff Norman Berkedahl of Manitowoc county recovered the body of the boy after two coast guards from Two Rivers had been working with grappling hooks for several hours. It is believed that their hooks caused the body to be released, and it so happened that the sheriff was nearby when it rose to the surface of the lake. The sheriff, assisted by the coast guards, then took the body in to shore. Funeral services will be held at the home at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, and at St. John's and St. Peter's Lutheran church at 2 p.m. The body may be viewed after 6 p.m. Friday but the casket will not be opened at the church.

He learned, however, that the post membership at the time was 12. He would have been the 13th member. This discouraged the veteran and he refrained form joining. The veteran never enrolled in a G.A.R. post. end of insert) musician who played in bands and orchestras for weddings and dances. He made many of his own instruments. It was one of the many vocations of a man who in his life was a farmer, a carpenter, coal miner, lumberman, hotel and tavern keeper. Even in late years Mr. Riek continued his musical trend. He never tired showing visitors an array of clarinets and old violins which he played in his younger days. Chronicled Experiences As a member of the Ninth Wisconsin regiment in the Civil war Mr. Riek served in campaigns against the Confederates in Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. In spare moments he chronicled many wartime experiences for his life story after his death. The story of how Mr. Riek enrolled for war service more than 75 years ago is perhaps the most interesting chapter in his long life. Born in Brandenburg, Germany, in 1846, he accompanied his father, Ludwig Riek, and other members of the family to America in 1851. They settled on a farm in Meeme. When the Civil war broke out in 1861 Mr. Riek was only 15 years old. Scores of neighbors and boy friends enlisted. He tried to sign the enlistment rolls of a Wisconsin regiment being recruited for service. The recruiting officer turned him back when he admitted to being only 15. Lonely on the farm home with (Continued on page 11) LAST CIVIL WAR VET OF THE COUNTY DIES (Continued from Page 1) many of companions in the service, Mr. Riek decided on a bold stroke. He learned that a government troop ship was to leave Manitowoc in a few days for Milwaukee. He made his way to this city and found units of the 27th Wisconsin regiment boarding ship at one of the piers. Mr. Riek climbed aboard, sneaked into the hold of the steamer, and remained there until the troop ship was well on its way to Milwaukee. At that place Riek met a recruiting officer for the Ninth Wisconsin regiment, already on duty along the lower Mississippi river. The regiment needed replacements. Riek was sent to Madison the next day, went through several medical tests and was finally accepted. Sent south with other replacements for the Badger unit the Manitowoc man was assigned to duty with the commissary department. He was assigned to a detail entrusted with the task of getting food through to the men on the fighting front. Served Three Years Serving three years until 1865, when the war ended, he received an honorable discharge and returned to his home in Centerville. After his army service it was hard for Mr. Riek to settle down to peaceful farm life. He went east and was employed in coal mines in Pennsylvania and for a number of years worked in lumber mills at Menominee, Mich. Returning to Centerville he took up the carpenter trade. In 1871 Mr. Riek married Hermina Zill and purchased a 60-acre farm in Centerville. He was a member of Wildgrube's band and orchestra in this city for more than 20 years. Forms Family Ochrestra Later the veteran formed a family orchestra in which he and his children joined. His son Louis, who died when still a young man and his daughter Emma, who kept house for her father in late years played in the orchestra. The death of Mr. Riek's son, Louis, when only 18 years of age ended the veteran's playing days. He did not finish a clarinet he was making, putting it aside. Time, however mellowed Mr. Riek's feelings and he turned to his instruments for amusement in later life. Mr. Riek opened a tavern in Centerville which was known as the German House. After operating this for a number of years he disposed of it and moved to the small farm home where he spent his last years. Wife Died 10 Years Ago Mrs. Riek died 10 years ago. Survivors are a daughter Emma, Centerville; brother Robert, Menominee, Mich.; and two sisters, Mrs. Ernestine Brandt, Faithorn, Mich. and Mrs. Anna Salzieder, Oshkosh.

LOUIS P. WIEGAND (d. 1932) STROKE FATAL TO COMMUNITY LEADER TODAY Manitowoc County Man Who was Honored By State, Dies at Home Louis P. Wiegand, Centerville, town and county officer for years and one of five farmers selected in Wisconsin in 1931 to be honored by the State University for work as a community leader, died unexpectedly this morning at his home in the Village of Cleveland. He suffered a stroke of apoplexy last evening and failed to rally. Mr. Wiegand was 76 years of age, was for the past 25 years, a member of the board of trustees of the county asylum and was the representative of Centerville on the county board of supervisors for many years. In addition he held numerous town offices, being treasurer of the school district, president of the Cleveland Fire Department and a director in a fire insurance company. Funeral services for Mr. Wiegand will be held at 1:30 on Monday afternoon from the homestead and at 2 o’clock from the St. Peter and St. John Lutheran church and Cleveland with burial in the Saxon Cemetery. Although the deceased has not been in the best of health for several months, he was able to be up and about. For the past 15 years he lived a retired life with his wife in the village of Cleveland, the farm being operated by his sons. Signed honors came to Mr. Wiegand in February, 1931 when he and three other men and women were honored at the Farm Work meeting at the University of Wisconsin, Madison for leadership in agriculture and rural home making. He was presented with a certificate of recognition. He was first Manitowoc County man to be accorded such recognition, which was instituted by the Wisconsin College of Agriculture in 1910 to honor those deemed to have made outstanding contributions to agriculture and development through their own accomplishments and who are recognized as community leaders. The presentation was made by President Glenn Frank of the state university. Mr. Wiegand was one of the first farmers of the county to vision the future of dairying. He was a native of the county, having been born at Centerville, May 24, 1856 and started the first dairy herd on a considerable scale in 1900. He was a farmer since 16, when the death of his father placed him in charge of the homestead. Mr. Wiegand had been identified with agricultural interests practically all of his life. In 1900 he built one of the first silos in the county on his farm. In 1916 he sold his farm to his two sons, Kurt and Otto. The deceased was long prominent in public life, not only in Centerville, but in the county as well. For 30 years he was treasurer of School District No. 3 in Centerville. He served his town on the county board of trustees of the Manitowoc county asylum. He also served for five years as a director of the Cleveland State Bank, served as a director of the Meeme Mutual Fire Insurance Co., was president of the Cleveland Fire Department and served two terms as town assessor and for 12 years as a trustee of St. Peter and St. John Lutheran Church, Cleveland. Despite his advanced years, Mr. Wiegand took an active interest in the affairs of the county asylum, serving on the board with W.J. Ahrens and Otto Drews. Mr.Wiegand was twice married. On Feb. 1, 1881, he was wedded to Miss Agnes Lutze who died in 1915. Two years later, he was married to Mrs. Anna Wagner at Centerville. She survives him.
