o'clock p.m. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in the Town 
of Newton, there being about 225 teams in the cortege, and about 700

"Great God, Thou of mercy deep, comfort those he leaves behind, 
keep and seal them, guard and shelter, from earths storms and 
piercing wind. Now, may we his memory cherish, and follow him in 
deeds of love. Grant, Oh, God, that we may meet him, in the 
heavenly tent above."

LUDEKE DUNEKACK

ANSWERS LAST ROLL CALL
Ludekuke Dunekake, Veteran of the Mexican War, Passes Away
Ludekuke Dunekake, an old and highly respected citizen of the town of Newton, 
answered to the last roll call at the home of his son-in-law, Ferdinand 
Nuebuer (Huebner?) at that place, early Saturday morning. Death was due to 
the infirmities incident of old age and although not wholly unexpected, was 
a severe shock to the family. The deceased was 82 years of age and was a 
veteran of the Mexican War.
Ludekuke Dunekake, the subject of this sketch first saw the light of day at 
Hanover, Germany in April, 1816. At an early age, in company with his parents, 
emigrated to America locating in Ohio. When the war with Mexico broke out he 
enlisted and served throughout as a member of Co. C, Fifteenth Ohio Infantry, 
receiving his discharge, Aug. 6, 1848. In 1853 he removed to Wisconsin and 
located in the town of Newton. He was married in 1854 to a young lady of that 
place; three children blessed their union. His wife preceded him to the other 
shore a number of years ago and since that time he has made his home with his 
daughter. The three children who survive him are: Mrs. Mary Schwanz, Mrs. 
Ferdinand Huebner and Louis Dunekake. He was a modest man, avoiding notoriety, 
but none ever appealed to him in vain for a favor and in his quiet way, he has 
lessened the burden of friends and neighbors in many instances. The deceased 
was a man of high character, respected by all who knew him and his death will 
bring sadness to many hearts. Funeral services were held at the late home this 
afternoon and were largely attended. The interment was in the Lutheran Cemetery 
at Newton.

WILHELM FISCHER  (d. 1949)

William Fischer, 78, a Manitowoc Rapids farmer, was found dead along-
side his automobile on the nearby Reinhardt Fischer farm Thursday 
afternoon. Coroner Theodore Teitgen said the death was caused by a 
heart attack.
The victim had gone to the neighboring farm, Dr. Teitgen said, to 
deliver some grapes. There was no one home on the farm, Dr. Teitgen 
said, and apparently Mr. Fischer discovered his flat tire as he 
turned to leave. As he was pumping the tire he was stricken.
When Fischers returned home they discovered the victim dead. Coroner 
Teitgen and Sheriff Clarence Baryenbruch were called and investigated.
Survivors are his two sisters with whom he lived all his life on the 
farm on which he was born in 1870. Funeral services will be held at 
2 p.m. Monday in the St. John Evangelical Lutheran church in Newtonburg, 
Rev. Fred Knueppet officiating.
The body may be viewed at the Urbanek and Schlei funeral home from

the church.

BEYOND THE SIGHING AND WEEPING
A bright life that had fulfilled its brief mission of usefulness 
was terminated in young manhood early this morning, when Charles 
Groth, a well known teacher of the county, died at his home in the 
town of Newton. He suffered from consumption and had been ailing 
for nearly a year, but only during the past three weeks had the 
seriousness of his condition become evident. The closing days of 
his earthly career were marked by intense suffering that made the 
presence of Death a welcome visitation.
Deceased was born in Germany in 1867, and had attained the age of 
33 years when called to respond to the last summons. He came to 
Manitowoc county with his parents in 1869 and of recent years had 
been one of the successful teachers of the county, having been 
engaged at Centerville, Liberty and Newton. He was a scholarly man 
and deeply interested in his chosen profession, for the advancement 
of which he had lent his best efforts. A wife and two children, 
with mother and sisters and brothers survive him. One brother Henry 
Groth is employed at the German-American bank in this city.
The funeral will be held Tuesday from the late home in Newton.

WILHELM JOHANN GROTH

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.

Man, 73, Dies After County Auto Accident
Manitowoc- Emil Hackmann, 73, of Rt. 1, Manitowoc, who was involved in an
automobile crash Monday, died Wednesday afternoon at Holy Family Hospital
where he had been confined since the accident.
A post-mortem examination disclosed that Hackmann was suffering from a 
kidney abscess and lobar pneumonia. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner,
theorized that poisons in his body probably caused him to black out prior

driving alone on Highway 151 a mile west of English Lake about 11:45 a.m.
Monday. His 1937 model car ran off the road and struck a culvert.

The people of this locality were shocked to learn of the death of Fred E. 
Kieselhorst Saturday morning. Only a very few knew that he was indisposed and 
even they did not realize that the end was so near as he had only been ailing 
for a few days. The immediate cause of death was heart failure.
He was but thirty-five years of age and had always enjoyed the best of health. 
He is survived by a widow and four small children, his parents and one brother 
and three sisters.
The funeral was held from the Newton Lutheran Church on Monday afternoon, Rev. 
Uplager officiating. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the widow 
and children in their bereavement.
