JOHANN B. ROEPKE
From the Files of the Pilot - Forty-Nine Years ago - 1869
John Roepke, one of the early and most respected settlers of our county who had
but lately purchased the property known as Wall's Flouring mill, came to his
death in rather a singular manner. A little over a week ago he was assisting in
slaughtering one of his hogs when he got scratched by the struggling animal on
one of his arms, which soon commenced swelling. In spite of the best medical
effort, the swelling extended over his whole system and within six days from the
accident the man was a corpse. He died last Friday and was buried on Monday. His
age 47 years.

SCHROEDER EARLY DAY BLACKSMITH
Two pioneers of Manitowoc county, both of whom had attained the ripe old age
of 88 years, responded to the call of death yesterday, Carl Schroeder at Rapids
and John Burns at Liberty. Both came to Manitowoc county when it was yet a
wilderness and were numbered among the oldest residents of this section.
Mr. Schroeder, had he lived until June 14, would have been 89 and whose golden
wedding anniversary occurs in the same month, came here in the early fifties
and located in the town of Newton, where for years he conducted a blacksmith
shop. Forty years ago he removed to Rapids, locating on a farm where he had
since resided. Mr. Schroeder is survived by his aged widow, three sons and
three daughters, and thirteen grandchildren.
The funeral will be held from the Lutheran church at Newton Sunday afternoon.

JOHN SCHWANTZ
CAUGHT COLD AT FATHER'S FUNERAL, DEATH FOLLOWS
Well Known Young Farmer of Newton Dies 2 Weeks after
Attending Burial of Father-Pneumonia is Cause
A cold which he contracted while attending the funeral of his father
two weeks ago and which developed into pneumonia, caused the death
of John Schwantz, a well known young farmer of Newton last night. Mr.
Schwantz had been seriously ill for a week.
On May 11, Mr. Schwantz's father died and the day of the funeral was
one of the worst of the year, a heavy rain falling and the air being
chilled. The young man returned from the burial ground drenched and
suffering from a cold and his condition became rapidly worse, pneumonia
setting in a few days later.
Mr. Schwantz was 34 years of age and is survived by his wife and a
family. He was one of the well-known farmers of the county and was
making rapid progress in life. His death will awaken widespread
sympathy.
The funeral will probably be held at Newton Monday afternoon.

THIRD DEATH IN NEWTON FAMILY IN LESS THAN 3 WEEKS
Mrs. Maria Schwant (sic), Whose Husband Died May 11 and son on
May 25, Falls Victim to Same Disease
Father, son and mother in the Schwantz family in Newton have been
claimed by Death within a period of three weeks, the death of Mrs.
Schwantz yesterday being the third in the family in that period.
Pneumonia was responsible for the deaths.
On May 11 Frank Schwantz, the father, died after a brief illness.
Two weeks later, John Schwantz, a son, became ill, a cold contracted
while attending his father's funeral developing pneumonia which caused
death on May 25, and he was buried at Newton on Monday.
Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Schwantz became ill and when
her son's death occurred, her condition was considered so critical that
she was not informed of her second bereavment and relatives, fearing
that her death was a matter of hours, delayed the burial of the son in
the belief that it might be necessary to hold a double funeral. The
son's funeral was held Monday afternoon and twenty four hours later
the mother passed away.
Mrs. Schwantz was a native of Wisconsin and was 61 years of age, having
been born Sept. 10, 1855. The funeral will be held at Newton.

LOUIE VETTING
Last Sun., while Wm. Gerke, Lewis Griffen, Joseph Aumann, M. Aumann, and
Frank Aumann were fishing in the river near Lueps Island, they noticed a man's
body floating in the river. Police were called, and after making inquiries,
identified the body as that of Louis Betting(sic) of Manitowoc Rapids who had gone
to Oshkosh on Wed. to appear as a trial witness. He had started back on Thurs.,
stopped a few hours in Appleton, then resumed his journey home and somehow fell
into the river. He was a man of good reputation, about 60 yrs. of age. His
burial took place Mon. in the cemetery in Manitowoc Rapids.
Der Nord Westen, 01 Aug. 1895
(Per obit, he d. Thursday July 25, 1895)
*******
The body of Louis Vetting of Manitowoc Rapids was found floating in the river
on Sunday. Some boys who were fishing Saturday evening saw an object floating
which they thought resembled a man but took no close observation. This must
have been Vetting's body which was found the next day.
He had gone to Oshkosh on business some time ago. Tickets on his person showed
that he had left Appleton on the 25th. He must have got off the train at the
Junction, thinking he was at Manitowoc and walked into the river. He was 65
years of age, a German by birth, but came to this county when a young man.
The inquest was held before Justice Wieboldt but no facts came out which threw
any light upon the matter and a verdict of accidental drowning was rendered. At
first the drowned man was supposed to be a man named Schneider, a son-in-law of
Vetting whom he visited in Oshkosh. The marriage certificate of Schneider was
found in Vetting's pocket and this led to the mistake.
On Tuesday there were rumors of foul play. It was learned that Vetting had come
to Appleton on Thursday very much excited. He called at the office of The
Volksfreund and paid his subscription. Though ordinarily a temperate man he was
under the influence of liquor. About 6 o'clock a man wearing a black moustache
and a slouch hat was seen to approach him and slap him familiarly on the back.
They went off together. Later when Vetting was taking a lunch in a saloon
preparatory to leaving on the train for home this same man entered and engaged
him in conversation.
Though the fact did not come out at the inquest, it is certain Vetting reached
this city. About 9 o'clock he called at the house of a man named Kubitz, who
lives near Rahr's Park in the 5th ward and inquired for Carl Schmidt's saloon.
He appeared then to be somewhat under the influence of liquor. The body was found
farther up the river near Luep's island, on the south side. The water there is
quite shallow and a man could hardly be accidentally drowned there. The body was
in such a state of decomposition when found that the skin peeled off when the
clothes were being taken off. It was found by William Gelbke and Jo Aumann who
were fishing. It bore no marks of violence. The district attorney thinks the facts
are such as to justify further investigation.

Mrs. Waack, 101, Dies in Newton
NEWTON — Mrs. Henry Waack, who marked her 101st birthday anniversary
Jan. 27, died Monday morning at the home of a grandson, Walter Kolb,
town of Newton.
Funeral services have been tentatively set for Thursday afternoon at
St. John, Ev. Lutheran Church, Newtonburg, where Mrs. Waack had been
a member for nearly a century. Details of the funeral arrangements
will be announced Tuesday by the Berge Funeral Home in Valders. The
Rev. F . C. Knueppel will officiate.
Mrs. Waack, nee Augusta Matthews, was born in Germany in 1852 and
when she was only six weeks old her parents, John and Caroline Matthews
sailed for America. The ocean voyage took six weeks at that time and
when they arrived, they settled in Newton on what is now the John
Pekarske farm.
Augusta Matthews was married to Henry Waack in 1870 and the couple
moved to a farm near English Lake. This farm was later operated by
Mrs. Waack's son in law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. August Koepsel,
and was sold in recent years to Otto Schwanke.
Mr. Waack, who served in the Union Army, died in 1926 at the age of
80. His wife received a Civil War widows pension of $48 a month until
her death, and was believed to be the only Civil War widow in the
county.
Mrs. Waack is survived by two daughters. Mrs. William Kolb who was 82
years old on Jan, 19 and Mrs. August Koepsel, 79, now living in
Manitowoc. Also survivtng are 10 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren
and 26 great great grandchildren.
Mrs. Kolb took care of her mother at the Kolb homestead farm until last
fall when both of them moved to the home of Mrs. Kolb's son, Walter.
"Grandma" Waack could remember seeing Indians on her way to the parochial
school at St. John Church. The congregation marked its 100th anniversary
two years ago and the Matthews and the Waacks were active in its history.
She never had a formula for living to be more than a 100 years old but
attributed it to hard work outdoors when she helped her father clear
the land for planting crops, and cutting wood for heat and cooking. Mrs.
Waack never had a serious illness during her long life but had been in
bed for the past three years.

HERMAN WELK
From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - 1893
Death in a Well
Wm. Groth and Herman Welk, the former a resident of Manitowoc Rapids and the
latter of Newton, lost their lives yesterday afternoon while digging a well
on the farm of the first named. Welk follows the business of well drilling
and is 28 years of age, unmarried, but engaged. Groth is a married man and
is 32 years of age.
The well had been dug in depth of 37 feet. Yesterday morning, Welk complained
that he was unable to work below for lack of air. A bluish, sticky, damp clay
had been reached and he was boring through this with a post auger at the time.
In the afternoon he was let down again, but the two above, Groth and Jo Koelzer
not hearing anything from him looked down the well and saw him lying prostrate
at the bottom. Groth immediately prepared to descend, but fearing gas, told
Koelzer to be ready to draw him up when he requested. He had preceded but a
little ways when he shouted to pull him out, but quickly lost his hold and went
to the bottom. His body was drawn out by means of a hook but it was impossible
to secure Welk's body in this way. Apparatus was brought from the city and at
11 o'clock last night, Welk's body was brought to the surface. The faces of both
were blue and congested.
Dr. Luhmann went out and tested the well by means of a candle. The candle went
out when eleven feet from the surface just as if immersed in water. There are
marshes in the neighborhood of the well but the gas seems to come from the sticky
clay before mentioned as nothing seemed to emanate from the bed of gravel through
which the well was dug.

two brothers and a sister in 1848. Arriving in America the party immediately came
to Manitowoc county and settled upon the site of his present fine farm upon which
he remained until his death, his brothers purchasing tracts adjoining his. He
applied to the business of farming a degree of intelligence which made him a
prominent character in the growth of the town of Newton and which naturally insured
a large degree of success. In the early days he was made town treasurer when the
territory now known as Newton, Liberty and Eaton all went under the former name,
and when in his rounds as tax gatherer he was liable to meet as many Indians as
white men. Later he was elected a member of the county board and filled that position
for several terms. He was always regarded as one of the most intelligent members of
that body and enjoyed the fullest confidence of his associates. He was the originator
of the Newton Town Fire Insurance Co., and gave that organization a start which
pushed it forward to success. His last visit to the city was on Wednesday last; when
as a member of the county board of supervisors he was in attendance at it session.
Returning home that afternoon he contracted a severe cold to which, however, no
particular attention was paid as nothing of a serious nature was anticipated.
Pneumonia seized him, and when medical attendance was summoned it was too late and
death resulted on Sunday evening. He leaves six grown children and a large circle
of friends to mourn his death.

WERNER HOHANN ALBERT WILHARMS
Newton Boy Expires in Carriage While on Way for Operation
Suffering from a severe attack of peritonitis, Werner Wilhelms(sic)
a Newton boy, died suddenly in a carriage while on his way to the
Holy Family hospital in this city to undergo an operation Friday
night. The boy died just a few minutes before the hospital was
reached and the body was taken to an undertakers establishment
and later removed to the home.
The Wilhelms boy was 14 years of age and had been ill only a
short time with what was thought by the family to be summer
complaint. He was not confined to his bed until Friday when Dr.
Teitgen this city was called and after examination declared that
there was no hope for the boy. Determined to take the only chance
left, one in a 1000, parents of the boy arranged to have him
taken to the hospital and if possible have an operation but before
the hospital was reached the boy was dead.
Wilhelms resided with his parents near English Lake and was being
removed from his home to this city by the physiciand when death
came to him. Had the nature of the disease been determined earlier
and the operation performed, the boy's life could have been saved.
The funeral will be held at Newton.
