SCHNELL FAMILY CEMETERY



LOUISA PAUTZ

Items From The Pilot Files - Fifty Years Ago (1862)
FATAL ACCIDENT - A melancholy accident occurred in the town of Liberty 
on Saturday of last week, by which two ladies--a Mrs. Shanahan and 
Mrs. Pautz--lost their lives. The particulars of this heart-rendering affair, as near 
as we can learn, are as follows: 
A small party of women and children procured a horse and wagon and went to 
Murphy's Mills to pick blackberries, and on their return home, the horse becoming 
unmanageable, one of the unfortunate women took the reins from the young man 
who was driving and advised the children to get out and walk. Shortly afterwards, 
and just as they got to the top of a hill, the horse began to run, and before they 
reached the bottom, the wagon struck a stump on the road side, throwing out the 
occupants, killing Mrs. Pautz instantly and injuring Mrs. Shanahan so badly that she 
lived but a short time. They were both old residents of this county and their friends 
have the sympathy of all who knew them.

MARIA SCHNELL  (d. 1920)

The angel of death entered our community and came as a relief to Mrs. A. Schnell. 
She had been sick for a long time but was confined to her bed a week ago when 
pneumonia developed.
Mrs. Schnell, nee Marie Willot, was born in Germany, January 21, 1838. She came 
to Manitowoc with her parents in 1856 and was married to Adam Schnell in 1857 and 
since then made her home on the farm where both died, her husband preceding her 
in death 26 years ago. She is survived by nine children all residing in Liberty and
 Newton. They are Mrs. Louis Pleuss, Mrs. Fred Kieselhorst, Mrs. Henry Kieselhorst, 
Mrs. Carl Kueuger and Louis, Ernst, Carl, August and Herman. One daughter preceded 
her in death nine years ago.
The funeral will be held from the Liberty Lutheran church Friday afternoon.
