KAROLINE AND ROSALIE SAIER Last Fri. the wife of Mathias Saier drowned herself in the Mishicott River, taking her two-year old daughter with her. Mrs. Saier was the daughter of Mr. Meyer, a businessman in Two Rivers. Mr. Saier noticed on Fri. evening that his wife was quite nervous and sought to calm her. Everyone went to bed, but in the morning the mother and the one child were missing. Mrs. Saier was just 22 years old. Der Nord Westen, April 27, 1882 ********* A SAD CASE OF DROWNING On last Friday night a tragedy was enacted in this city, by which an unfortunate mother and an innocent babe, the wife and child of Mathias Saier, of this place met their death under circumstances peculiarly sad and shocking. The facts as developed at the inquest are substantially as follows: Mr. Saier claims that for a few weeks past his wife has been in an unusually despondent mood and at times she has utterly refused to converse with him. On the evening of the day in question he returned home tired after his days work in the tannery of the Wis. Leather Co., and retired about half past eight. His wife in response to his request that she do likewise gave him no satisfactory answer, and he left her with the babe, their youngest child, aged two years, in her arms. He did not wake up until about five o’clock in the next morning, when, finding his wife and child gone, messengers were at once dispatched among the various friends of the family in order to find out if possible anything concerning the whereabouts of the missing. The effort proving unavailing, a diligent search was instituted on the river and along its banks. All doubt as to the fate of the unfortunate mother was removed when the body of the infant was found about ten o’clock within a few feet of the shore. The body of the mother was recovered by the life saving crew a few hours later, about one hundred feet from the place where the infant was picked up. Diligent inquiry on the part of the coroners jury failed to establish any reason why the woman should have committed the rash deed, and they were unanimously of the opinion that she was laboring under temporary insanity. Mrs. Saier was the only daughter of Mr. B. Mayer of this place. She was a comparatively young woman being but twenty two years old at the time of her death. One child, a little girl about four years of age is left motherless by the sad event. In this hour of deep affliction the bereaved relatives have with them the sympathy of the entire community. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, May 2, 1882 P.4 ********* A woman named Mrs. Saier, living between the city of Two Rivers and the tannery, drowned herself and child on Saturday morning last. For a long time her mind has been unbalanced, and lately she was subject to fits of despondency which came on with frequency and continued for some time. On Saturday morning of Friday night, she took her youngest child in her arms, two years old and went toward the river. She had to wade in a considerable distance before she reached a sufficient depth of water to accomplish her purpose. When her husband missed her search was immediately initiated. The body of the child was first found and then that of the mother. Mrs. Saier had been married about five years and had two children. Manitowoc Pilot Thursday, May 4, 1882

JOHN SCHMITT SR. (d. 1906) At an early hour this morning, John Schmitt, an old and esteemed resident of this city, died at his home on West Park street. The cause of his death was pneumonia and his illness was only of about three week's duration. It was known that he was seriously ill, yet up to three days ago there seemed to be some chance for his recovery, but since Saturday last his case appeared to be hopeless and he gradually sank into that dreamless sleep that knows no waking. The last hours of his life were comparatively painless, though during the early portion of his illness he suffered intensely. His funeral will take place Thursday morning from St. Luke's Church. John Schmitt was born in Freudenburg, Germany, on the 15th of May 1843. When only 14 years of age he came with his parents to this country and settled upon a farm near Neshoto. He began working for the Two Rivers Woodenware Company at the age of 18 years and for 44 years was steadily in their employ. He was always faithful and was one of this companys most trusted men. For many years past he had charge of their saw mill and distinguished himself by his loyalty and ability. Not only did he win and merit the full confidence of those who employed him but he was respected and esteemed by every man under him. He was regarded by each as a kind and honorable man - as a man whose purpose it was to do right at all times and under all circumstances. In short, it was evident to all who was privileged to know him and to associate with him that he was an upright Christian gentleman and a man above the average in intelligence and in morals. He was married in 1872 to Annie Koch of the town of Kossuth, who survives him and who bore him thirteen children, ten of whom are living.

LEO SCHMITT, REV. LEO JOHN SCHMITT (1917) - Historical Notes Father Leo Schmitt In First Mass Here Impressive Ceremonies Mark Newly-Ordained Priest's First Mass Sunday Two Rivers Reporter, Two Rivers, WI June 1, 1943 Escorted to the altar of St. Luke's Catholic Church by his former pastor, the Very Rev. Dean C.V. Hugo, Rev. Leo Schmitt, son of Mrs. Henry Schmitt of this city, read his first solemn mass in one of the most impressive ceremonies of the Catholic Church at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Scores of Clergymen, relatives and friends taxed the capacity of the spacious church to witness Rev. Leo Schmitt's first mass following ordination ceremonies at Green Bay Saturday morning. Many others who were not at the mass in the beautifully lighted and decorated church witnessed the procession from the parsonage to the church preceding the mass. 35 Priests Take Part Thirty-five visiting priests took part in the procession from the parsonage, augmented by 36 altar boys of the parish, including a nephew of Father Schmitt. Bride in the ceremony in which Rev. Leo Schmitt was married to the Church, was a niece of the priest. Her bonnet coloring was in contrast to the white floor length dress she wore for the ceremony. The dress had a lace insert and a long train trimmed in lace. Two gardenias adorned her hair and she wore a hammered gold locket, a gift of the priest. She carried a wreath of flowers. Attending the bride were two other nieces of the priest. They were attired in white net dresses over white satin and wore matching hats. Each carried a colonial bouquet of red, white and blue flowers to carry out the color scheme used at the banquet tables when a victory dinner menu was served following the ceremonies. Also attendants in the church's bridal party were two nephews of the priest. They followed the bride's attendants and in turn were followed in the procession by twin daughters of Mrs. Henry Schmitt. BROTHER IS A STUDENT Following the bridal party in the processional was John P. Schmitt, master of ceremonies and brother of the celebrant. John Schmitt is a student at St. Francis Seminary and expects to be ordained next year. He was followed by Rev. Henry J. Schmitt, another brother of the priest who was deacon at the Mass and walking with him was Rev. Eugene Geimer, a cousin of Rev. Schmitt. He was sub-deacon. They were followed by Very Rev. Dean C.V. Hugo, assistant celebrant, and Rev. Leo Schmitt, the newly ordained priest. Both were in capes and vested at the altar before the mass. Thurifur at mass was Lawrence Andre, a seminarian at St. Francis seminary. Rev. F.F. Dupont O. Praem, registrar at St. Norbert's College and a close friend of the celebrant delivered the sermon. At the Offertory of the mass, Joseph and John Schmitt, brothers of Father Schmitt, sang Panis Angelicus under the direction of Eugene Kronzer, director of St. Luke's Male choir, Raymond M. Schmitt, another brother, accompanied the duo on the organ and also played the entire mass. SEMINARIAN CROSS BEARER Heading the procession from the parsonage to the church was the cross bearer, Walter Morgan, a seminarian at St. Francis, Paul and Phillip Schmitt were the acolytes, one on each side of the cross.

Rev. George Beth, Black Creek, former local man acted as toastmaster at the banquet. Speaking at the banquet were the Very Rev. Dean C.V. Hugo, Rev. Henry J. Schmitt, Sylvester J. Schmitt and Rev.

Henry Schmitt, another son, was deacon and Rev. George Beth, sub-deacon. (sent by family researcher/see contrib. page) ****** Rev. Schmitt Reflects On 48 Years In Priesthood Manitowoc - It's a joyful journey with people who love you. That's how Two Rivers native Rev. Leo Schmitt sums up his 48 years of priesthood. Schmitt retires today as pastor of Holy Innocents parish, Manitowoc. Holy Innocents was founded in 1932 and Schmitt, ordained in 1943, was named its second pastor in 1968. Born in 1917, the ninth of 17 children of Henry and Anna Geimer Schmitt, he will be moving to his year-round cottage in the town of Two Rivers in a wooded area just a short distance from Lake Michigan. He built the home 20 years ago and it became his get-away place when he needed a few hours or days respite from administrative pressures. As a young man, Schmitt used to ride the streetcar to Manitowoc to take music lessons at the Manitowoc Conservatory. At one time, he said, they even had their own family orchestra. He sang, as did his brothers, in the men's choir. His late older priest brother, Henry, he said, was his inspiration. A younger brother, John, is pastor of a parish at Sugarbush. He was the 17th boy from St. Luke Parish to become a priest. A graduate of St. Luke Grade School, Washington High School, St. Norbert College and St. Paul Seminary, he was ordained in 1943 at St. Francis Xavier in Green Bay by Bishop Paul Peter Rhode. After ordination Schmitt was an assistant at parishes in Allouez, Shawano, Sturgeon Bay and De Pere before becoming pastor at Aniwa, Bear Creek, and St. Michael, Whitelaw, from 1965 to 1968. For 12 years he was also Vicariate 12 vicar and in this capacity visited various parishes in the vicariate. One of the nicest things that happened, he said, was the formation of support groups for priests. There are 12 of us priests in our support group who meet monthly to discuss problems. He also enjoyed helping young men share in the active priesthood and to develop their talents. It brought out the best in us, he said. One of those young men, Rev. Jeff Vanden Heuvel, an associate at Holy Innocents until this past January, recently stopped by to visit his former mentor. If you were to ask me what Father Leo has been for me I'd say he's been a model of gentleness. He's been a model of kindness. There's no doubt he genuinely loves people, Vanden Heuvel said. And, he's one of the happiest priest I've ever known. Schmitt plans, he said, to take a six month hiatus; then if his health permits he will be available for fill-in duty as needed. Retirement, he says, is a time to get the pressure of every day finances and leadership off your shoulders. I don't think you stop being a leader but the responsibility for leadership is taken over by someone else and that helped. Herald Times Reporter, Two Rivers, WI., June 30, 1991 ******* Rev. Leo J.

MICHAEL SCHMITT (d. 1933) OLDEST WHITE CHILD IS DEAD AT TWO RIVERS Michael Schmitt, 81, Dies At Home Where He Lived 79 Years Michael Schmitt, 81, who was the oldest white child born in Two Rivers, died this afternoon at the home, 1622 16th street, Two Rivers. He had been ill for three weeks. Seeing Two Rivers grow from a small fishing and lumbering village to its present size, Mr. Schmitt spent 79 years of his life in the homestead where he died today. His parents came to Two Rivers from Cedarburg in 1846. When the deceased grew up he became a driver of one of the teams in the old lumber industry for D. Smith. Later he worked for the Mueller brewery and still later was employed by the Mann brothers mill. For over 20 years he was employed by the Hamilton Manufacturing company. Mr. Schmitt was married to Louise Seabauer 56 years ago and she passed away April 1?, 1932. The only close relative surviving is a brother, Andrew Schmitt at De Pere. Funeral arrangements have not been completed, but will be from the St. Luke’s Catholic church Monday or Tuesday with interment in the Calvary cemetery. Manitowoc Herald Times, September 8, 1933 P. 2 ******* Michael Schmitt, the oldest living white native of Two Rivers, died at his home in Two Rivers Friday afternoon. He died in the same house in which he had lived for 79 years. There is something that Michael Schmitt gained by his love for one community and his willingness to spend all of his life in one home. He did not catch the fleeting panorama unrolled before the wanderer. He missed bright lights, changing scenes, strange tongues. He always strode down familiar paths, talked with old friends and acquaintances, and left his light to shine in a comparatively small world. What Michael Schmitt won was written inside of him. Most of it came to him right in the house where he lived and died. It was implanted in his soul and written in his memory during the many hours he must have meditated by himself, unhampered by the lust for change and excitement, happy in the ability to make a full life out of what was at hand. To the uninitiated, the life of a man who stays by one community and adheres to one mode of living seems terrible. It seems small, useless, chained. But that is not so, and men like Michael Schmitt have demonstrated it. The fullness of a life has nothing to do with geography. It starts, grows and matures right in the individual’s own heart and soul and mind. Look in the faces of his loved ones and friends when he goes to his last resting place. Much of the story of his life will be told there. Reverence and love for a man isn’t always ___ ___ __ phone and across the pulpit. It silently shows itself on neighbors’ faces in times of great sorrow. Rather touch the hearts of a few neighbors and give to one community a full and wholesome life than to flit about the globe leaving wasted impressions. Manitowoc Herald Times, September 9, 1933 P.6

VENERABLE PIONEER IS CALLED BY DEATH
Enfeebled with age, having passed 87 years, the angel of death came on Monday to Mrs. P. J. Schroeder, mother of the Schroeder Brothers of this city at her home on Eighteenth Street and she passed away peacefully with her sons and daughters at her bedside. Her death marked the close of a Christian life of service and devotion.
Deceased was a pioneer who came to this vicinity in the 50's and she and her husband, who preceded her in death several years ago, resided at Two Creeks when it was known as Rouley's Point and Mr. Schroeder was the village blacksmith to that little town of 60 or more inhabitants which has since disappeared. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder then went to farming, developing one of the best farms in the county and a family of sturdy and well bred boys and girls came to them. The boys have developed into leading businessmen here and comprise Schroeder Bros. Co. department store and also conduct the Two Rivers Savings Bank. They are Peter Schroeder, Joseph Schroeder, John Schroeder and Frank Schroeder. The daughters who survive are Sister Mary Hubert of Lions, Iowa, Mrs. Peter Beth and Mrs. Theresa Kloeckner of this city.

************ Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schroeder Who Celebrated Their Golden Wedding Last Sunday The celebration of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Schroeder last Sunday was a happy event. The aged couple appeared at mass at St. Luke Church at 7:30 o'clock to renew their vows of fifty years ago. The church was crowded with relatives and friends who gathered to witness the ceremony and to unite in a prayer of Thanksgiving for the excellent physical and mental condition of the venerable couple who have been so devoted to each other on their journey through life. No one present would realize from appearance on Sunday, what they endured and the hardships they had to contend with in their fifty years of married life. They have been Christians of the true spirit and their lives have been full of love and hope. Their long and happy life together has been the reward of their faith and devotion. The services at the church last Sunday were performed by Rev. Father Geissler and six grandsons of Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder acted as altar boys. Mr. Peter Schroeder was born at Saubershausen, Germany where he grew into manhood and learned the trade of a blacksmith. He came to this country alone in 1856 and for a short time was employed in a railroad car shop in Chicago. In 1857 he became tired of city life and decided to go to Two Creeks where he was employed for two years as a blacksmith by Pfister & Vogel. Mr. Schroeder walked most of the distance from Chicago to Two Creeks, there being no means of transportation at that time. In 1859 he was married to Angeline Rollinger who was born in Leidlinger, Luxemburg, Germany, in 1838. She came to this country with her parents in 1856 and resided with them near Two Creeks. They came to this city to be married in a wagon drawn by an ox team and were married at the Catholic Church by Rev. J.C. Parodin, a missionary priest. Only a few of the relatives of the bride were present. Mr. Schroeder, shortly after his marriage, erected a log cabin in the wilderness near Two Creeks to shelter himself and wife and began farming. For several years he operated a fishing outfit in connection with his farm. By hard and constant labor, Mr. Schroeder and his family cleared away the forests and prepared the soil for agricultural purposes. After many years of hard work they succeeded in making their farm one of the best in the county. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder were the parents of ten children, six boys and four girls, seven of whom are living and were present at the celebration. The sons and daughters are Peter, Joseph, John, Frank, Mrs. Peter Beth, Theresa, Sister Mary Hubert. Twenty grandchildren were also present. Mr. Gilbert Louiseau, a pioneer of this city, who acted as best man at the wedding fifty years ago, was present at the celebration last Sunday. Many friends and neighbors called at the home of the couple last Sunday to offer congratulations. Six years ago Mr. Schroeder and his wife moved to this city where they intend to spend the remainder of their lives in comfort. Mr. Schroeder is at the head of a substantial mercantile and banking business that was established by his sons and his efforts have assisted in making it so successful. His advice has always been heeded by them. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Sept. 1, 1909 page 1

PETER J. SCHROEDER PETER SCHROEDER, SR., PIONEER OF COUNTY, IS DEAD AT TWO RIVERS Peter Schroeder, Sr., president of the Two Rivers Savings Bank and father of Schroeder Brothers of that city, died yesterday at the advanced age of 85 years. Mr. Schroeder was a pioneer of the county, having for years conducted a farm in Two Creeks, later removing to Two Rivers where his sons conduct a large mercantile establishment. The funeral will be held Friday morning at St. Luke’s Catholic church, Two Rivers. Manitowoc Daily Herald, February 28, 1917 P.8 ********* CAPITALIST AND PIONEER PASSES AWAY P. J. Schroeder, Father of Schroeder Bros., Dies at Age of 85 FOUNDED SAVINGS BANK Career is Marked by Thrift and Hard Work and Wins Success Peter J. Schroeder, aged 85, passed away at his home in the city Wednesday morning, death being due to illness and the weakness of old age. Mr. Schroeder's death marks the passing of one who has played an important part in the commercial advancement of the community. Deceased was a pioneer resident having come to this vicinity from Koblenz, Germany, where he was born in 1831. After a short stay in Chicago he came to Two Creeks in 1857 where he was employed as blacksmith for the Pfister and Vogel Company who conducted a saw mill there and later a large tannery. While this engaged he was married in 1859 to Miss Angeline Rollinger who has been his devoted helpmate through life. They soon settled on a piece of wild land in Two Creeks to which Mr. Schroeder added until it embraced three hundred acres. With great labor and persistence they transformed their land into one of the finest farms in the county bringing it into a high state of cultivation and introducing all modern improvements. The efficient management of the farm brought Mr. Schroeder the success which enabled him to branch out in other lines of business. He retired from the farm in 1902. Together with his sons, he organized the Two Rivers Savings Bank in the Schroeder block, a handsome three story structure which was built in 1899 and will stand as a lasting monument to the memory of the deceased whose name adorns the front of the building, which has been nearly doubled in size during the past year and besides the bank, houses the large store of Schroeder Bros. Company. Since retiring from active farm work, Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder have made their home in a model residence especially erected for their comfort on 19th Street. Besides his aged wife, deceased is survived by seven children, Catherine, who is the wife of Peter Beth, Mary, who has entered a convent, Theresa of this city and Peter, Joseph, John and Frank, who are members of the firm of Schroeder Bros. Co. One daughter, Frances, was lost with the ill-fated steamer, Columbia, which foundered in the Pacific Ocean ten years ago. The funeral took place Friday morning. Services were conducted at St. Luke's Church where solemn requiem mass was said by Father Hugo assisted by Father Nilles of Charlesburg and Father Jankowski of Sacred Heart congregation. The Reporter, Fri., Mar. 2, 1917 ********* The Old Timers column will be continued as long as we find the persons who have a vivid recollection of the early days and who are entitled to recognition as Old Timers by having lived in this vicinity previous to 1856. OLD TIMERS When Two Creeks was a flourishing village, Peter Schroeder was the 'village smithy' there. He had learned the trade in the old country and Pfister and Vogel needed a good blacksmith in their large business at Two Creeks. This great concern for whom Mr. Schroeder worked from 1857 to 1860 ran a saw mill there and a few years before starting their immense tannery in 1860. Mr. Schroeder remembers much of interest about Two Creeks. Few people that have been at Two Creeks know that it was at one time a village of fifty or sixty houses. In the saw mill, twenty-five hands found employment but the tannery gave employment to three or four hundred men. The employees lived to rent in the houses erected by the company. The company owned thousands of acres of land in and about Two Creeks. The store pay system was used similar to the one employed here by the Two Rivers Manufacturing Co., twenty years ago. Many vessels called daily at the pier for lumber and leather. Mr. Schroeder says that a great forest fire destroyed most of the bark in the vicinity about 1871 and the tannery business began to wane. In 1873 it was shut down entirely and the people suddenly moved away and Two Creeks became comparatively “a deserted village”. Soon the tannery burned down and the houses disappeared one by one. Some of them were torn down but most were purchased by farmers nearby and moved away. Quite a number who were employed at the tannery bought land in the vicinity from Pfister and Vogel, cleared it of timber and developed into successful farmers. Mr. Schroeder added to his acreage so that he owned 300 acres in one place; this he still owns. He tells of the hard work connected with farming in the pioneer days. Compared to it, he says farming today is like play. When Mr. Schroeder settled in Two Creeks, the place was called Rouley. It was named after Mr. Rouley who was the first settler here. The Schroeder farm at Two Creeks is one of the best in the county. It is now managed by Mr. Eggert. Ten years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder erected a beautiful residence on 19th street. Here they are spending their declining years in peace close to the homes of their children who are successfully conducting a mercantile and banking business. Here too they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary four years ago. While Mr. Schroeder is president of the bank of Two Rivers, he devotes most of his time when the weather permits, to working in his garden. He was born at Koblenz, Germany and came to America in 1856. He is eighty-two and his wife seventy-five. The years have established his right to rank with the prominent and progressive citizens of this section. In his life he has displayed the sterling characteristics of the German race together with the adaptability that has enabled him to improve the condition and opportunities which he found in the new world. The Reporter, Sat., Oct. 18, 1913 ************ Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schroeder Who Celebrated Their Golden Wedding Last Sunday The celebration of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Schroeder last Sunday was a happy event. The aged couple appeared at mass at St. Luke Church at 7:30 o'clock to renew their vows of fifty years ago. The church was crowded with relatives and friends who gathered to witness the ceremony and to unite in a prayer of Thanksgiving for the excellent physical and mental condition of the venerable couple who have been so devoted to each other on their journey through life. No one present would realize from appearance on Sunday, what they endured and the hardships they had to contend with in their fifty years of married life. They have been Christians of the true spirit and their lives have been full of love and hope. Their long and happy life together has been the reward of their faith and devotion. The services at the church last Sunday were performed by Rev. Father Geissler and six grandsons of Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder acted as altar boys. Mr. Peter Schroeder was born at Saubershausen, Germany where he grew into manhood and learned the trade of a blacksmith. He came to this country alone in 1856 and for a short time was employed in a railroad car shop in Chicago. In 1857 he became tired of city life and decided to go to Two Creeks where he was employed for two years as a blacksmith by Pfister & Vogel. Mr. Schroeder walked most of the distance from Chicago to Two Creeks, there being no means of transportation at that time. In 1859 he was married to Angeline Rollinger who was born in Leidlinger, Luxemburg, Germany, in 1838. She came to this country with her parents in 1856 and resided with them near Two Creeks. They came to this city to be married in a wagon drawn by an ox team and were married at the Catholic Church by Rev. J.C. Parodin, a missionary priest. Only a few of the relatives of the bride were present. Mr. Schroeder, shortly after his marriage, erected a log cabin in the wilderness near Two Creeks to shelter himself and wife and began farming. For several years he operated a fishing outfit in connection with his farm. By hard and constant labor, Mr. Schroeder and his family cleared away the forests and prepared the soil for agricultural purposes. After many years of hard work they succeeded in making their farm one of the best in the county. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder were the parents of ten children, six boys and four girls, seven of whom are living and were present at the celebration. The sons and daughters are Peter, Joseph, John, Frank, Mrs. Peter Beth, Theresa, Sister Mary Hubert. Twenty grandchildren were also present. Mr. Gilbert Louiseau, a pioneer of this city, who acted as best man at the wedding fifty years ago, was present at the celebration last Sunday. Many friends and neighbors called at the home of the couple last Sunday to offer congratulations. Six years ago Mr. Schroeder and his wife moved to this city where they intend to spend the remainder of their lives in comfort. Mr. Schroeder is at the head of a substantial mercantile and banking business that was established by his sons and his efforts have assisted in making it so successful. His advice has always been heeded by them. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Sept. 1, 1909 page 1
