THEODORE STOLLBERG (d. 1937) T. STOLLBERG PASSES AWAY Former Two Rivers Alderman Dies At Hospital Today TWO RIVERS, (Special)-Theodore R.

Manitowoc Herald Times, Saturday, February 13, 1937 P. 5 ******** Old Timer Recalls Use Of Fish Oil for Light Remember way back when early residents of the city and vicinity had to rely on fish oil as the sole means of lighting their homes? Those days are still fresh in the mind of Theodore R. Stollberg, 77, retired Washington street tavern keeper and a????tive of the Tannery; once the most thriving ???? in the county. "Modern lighting methods with floodlights to turn large stretches into daylight," said Mr. Stollberg, "could not be conceived as possible when I was a boy living in the Tannery." Smoky and Nauseating Mr. Stollberg recalled the days when the inhabitants of the Tannery and the city were content with a smoky and nauseating lead bulb, filled with fish oil to light their homes. Barrels of oil were brought here by boat several times a month, he said. Pitch knots removed from trees also proved lighting in the early days, reminiseed Mr. Stollberg. This means of lighting was used mostly outside to keep the mosquitoes away. "I was seven or eight years old when my father, Edward Stollberg, came home from the Wisconsin Leather company store in the Tannery with a gallon of Kerosene," recalled the old timer. "He bought it up from the late Peter Gagnon, later mayor of Two Rivers, who clerked in the store at the time. It cost $1.50 a gallon in those days and it was considered a luxury. But it was the most modern means of lighting. "There were a number of people who feared the use of kerosene, thinking that the oil might explode." While the citizens of the city used kerosene for many years, or up to 1904 when the municipal ???? plant was erected, electricity was in use here since ????, Mr. Stollberg recounted. Mann Reathers, he said, built a plant to light their tub and pail factory in that year. The light plant was in charge of the late Alva A. Hudson, who later became the first superintendent of the municipal plant. 400 In Leather Plant Going back to the thriving days in the Tannery Mr. Stollberg rcalled that the old Wisconsin Leather company, which had two plants there, employed nearly 400 persons. It was operated by H.C. Whitcomb who came west from his native Maine. "The company which operated plants for nearly 50 years, discontinued operations in the summer of 1???," said Mr. Stollberg. "I remember when the plants closed, the whistle blew continuously for a half hour. I was a teamster with the company when operations were abandoned." When the hemlock bark became scarce in the vicinity, Mr. Stollberg declared, scores of vessels, two and three "stickers," brought in cargoes of bark from Michigan in the tannery docks every year. The company later removed to Milwaukee. Manitowoc Herald Times, Thursday, July 26, 1934 P. 11

Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, September 11, 1931 P.1 ********* T.W. Suddard Is Summoned By Death PROMINENT TWO RIVERS CIVIC LEADEAR PASSES Secretary of Hamilton Co. and Head of Recreational Board There Dies at Hospital Failling to rally from an opeeration for gall stones, which he underwent on Tuesday at the municipal hospital at Two Rivers, Thomas W. Suddard, 50, secretary and plant manager of the Hamilton Manufacturing Co. there and president of the Two Rivers Recreational board, died at 10:30 this morning. The news of his death, received here a few minutes later, was a shock to his host of friends in Manitowoc. For a score of years Mr. Suddard has been a leader in manufacturing and civic circles, not only in Two Rivers and Manitowoc, but in the entire state. He had apparently rallied from the operation on Wednesday but last night his heart began to fail from the strain and he weakended rapidly. A few weeks ago the deceased suffereed a severe attack of gall stones while at Chicago and was advised by physicians to prepare for an operation as soon as he was able. On Labor Day he was seized with a severe attack while vacationing at Kangaroo Lake. He was brought immediately to the hospital at Two Rivers for the operation. To Two Rivers in 1911 Since coming to Two Rivers in 1911 Mr. Suddard has been active in all matters of civic movement in the community. He was the prime mover in the boys work movement there, which, launched by the Rotary club in 1923 resulted in the present recreation board program there. He was chairman of the Rotary committee that fostered the movement and headed the fund committee which raised $7,000 a year to finance the program, until the city took it over January 1, 1928. When the recreation board was organized the Two Rivers Mr. Suddard was named president, which position he has since held. President of State Y.M.C.A. Mr. Suddard's interest in boys' work had an even wider expression, through his years of service in the work of the Wisconsin Y.M.C.A. Despite the fact that the Y.M.C.A. had no local representation, Mr. Suddard's interest and capacity won him a place upon the state board of directors, and for the last two years he has been its president. Mr. Suddard was also a member of the board of national directors of the Boys Club Federation of America, the result of his outstanding work in Two Rivers. The climax of Mr. Suddard's work in recreation came during the past year, when as personal representative of J.E. Hamilton, he supervised the design and construction of the Hamilton Community House, regarded as a model establishment of its kind. Mr. Suddard spent part of every day for months in the closest contact with the development of the buidling, and in his dedicatory address Mr. Hamilton paid tribute to the services Mr. Suddard had rendered in bringing the building to its final form.

Hamilton, head of the industry with which Mr. Suddard was associated here since 1911. He said: "I am deeply grieved by the death of my friend and business associate, Thomas W. Suddard. My connection with him has coverd a period of twenty years, and I have learned to love and respect him, not only for his business alility, but for his sterling qualities of character. His connection with the Hamilton Manufacturing Co. was a great asset; his knowledge of the printing industry, his engineering knowledge, and his grasp of techical problems were invaluable in the development of the Hamilton Co.'s products. "His interest in community affairs was equally valuable. He was largely r esponsible for the development and success of the Recreational and Boys' Work in Two Rivers, and it was largely owing to his interest and leadership that the Community Building became a reality. The ????? will miss Mr. Suddard and the people of the city share with me in mourning his loss. Tom Suddard was a loyal friend, a man of big ideas, and one the communtiy and state can ill afford to lose. My friend, and a friend of man, has passed on, but his work will live on and will not be forgotten." Manitowoc Herald News, September 12, 1931 P. 11
