Funeral this afternoon. Manitowoc Pilot Jan. 23, 1879 ******** Lawrence.-At Branch, Jan. 21, Enoch B. Lawrence, aged 43 years. It is seldom that a community is called upon to mourn the loss of one so universally (sic) respected and beloved as was the deceased. For nearly twenty years, he has been a resident of this village and he will ever be held in affectionate remembrance by its residents. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn the loss of a faithful husband and kind father. Words are but feeble to express the deep sympathy which is felt for them by their many friends and it seems vain to attempt to offer consolation; yet with this tribute to the memory of the departed, we offer the hand of friendship with the assurance of a full realization of the loss they have sustained. "Weep not that his toils are over, Weep not that his race is run; God grant we may rest as calmly When our work like his is done; Till then we would yield with gladness Our treasures to His to keep, And rejoice in the sweet assurance, He giveth his loved ones sleep."

An old bachelor named Lewis died in Meeme some weeks ago among strangers, leaving property to the amount of $3,000. This he willed to a cousin in Ireland, with the exception of one dollar which he left to a brother, a resident of New York. The brother put in an appearance on the day fixed for admitting the will to probate and gave notice of his intention to contest the will, on the ground first, that the testator was insane at the time of making the will and second, that the will was not executed in the manner required by the statute. A number of witnesses were subpoenaed. James Peppard and Patrick Burns were witnesses to the execution of the will and were examined on Monday last. It is probable that the case will be brought into the higher courts. Manitowoc Pilot, May 15, 1879 P. 3 ******** Meeme: John Lewis, the contestant of the great will case departed for his home in N.Y. on Monday. He thus far has made an able fight and if he eventually succeeds in winning, will get for his share of the spoils about as much as would purchase a first class ticket from Buffalo to Chicago, via Lake St. Clair and the straits of Mackinac. The rest of the estate will fall into its natural channel-the pockets of the able attorneys who are so disinterestedly laboring for the welfare of their respective clients. Well the Bible or some kindred books say "the laborer is worthy of his hire"; but whether the holy man who penned that sentence classed lawyers in the list of laborers, your correspondent is unable to determine. Bill Danforth, however, the most eminent lawyer in central Meeme asserts that lawyers are hard fisted and hard hearted laborers, but as Bill does not too much resemble the illustrious father of his country, we put no faith in the assertion. Probably Lewis can tell when his case is finally disposed of. Manitowoc Pilot, May 22, 1879 P. 3 ******** The Lewis will case which has attracted so much attention and on which so much effort has been expended by the counsel on both sides, was decided yesterday. W.J. Turner was the counsel for the contestant and L.J. Nash for the legatee. There certainly was never a suit in this county so stubbornly contested nor on which lawyers expended more labor. Each attorney took one day in his argument to the court and in the preparation of briefs, law books were borrowed from Milwaukee libraries. The attorneys became interested on account of the questions involved, on which authorities were conflicting, and they will have the satisfaction of having added greatly to their stock of knowledge on the law of wills. The decision was in favor of the proponent, and the opinion of Judge Kirwan is spoken of as a very able production. The case will probably find its way to the supreme court for final adjudication. Manitowoc Pilot, July 31, 1879 P. 3 ******** Judge Kirwan's opinion in the Lewis will case has been published in the Milwaukee Legal News. Manitowoc Pilot, August 21, 1879 P. 3 ******** The last step towards the settlement of the Lewis estate was taken yesterday when the farm of 40 acres was sold by the county judge. Michael Lewis was a quiet, unoffending citizen of Meeme, and led a rather secluded life. None of his relatives lived with him at the time of his death which took place three or four years ago. He made a will by which the greater part of his property, including the farm and considerable money was left to a nephew in Ireland. The devisse (sic) died before the long contest over the will was settled, and then the other heirs urged their claims for a share of the spoils. The sale of yesterday was made in their interest. Old Michael Lewis left quite a snug little fortune behind him, but a goodly share of it will go into the pockets of lawyers. Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, December 20, 1883 P. 3
LEYKOM, JAMES LOST ON THE SEA BIRD Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims of the Late Disaster. Thirty-One Persons Lost. In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts--might perform the sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt sympathy--and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in vain. JAMES LEYKOM Came to this place from Canada. He was well known all over town. Was a shoemaker by trade and respected by our citizens as an industrious man. He was about 21 and his father's family resides on Washington St. South side. He has a brother in Chicago, a well known type formerly of this place, who was sick and James went south to bring him home. (Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W. Emery, James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Joseph Doucett, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, August Wilde, Richard Flossbach, Amos Meyer, John Melka, Martin Rozezguiatee, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, John Foucks, Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, Fred Henning Jr., and Thorine Oleson.) OTHERS. We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD. The Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, April 16, 1868 pg. 4

LILL, ANTON Life’s burden dropped from the shoulders of Anton Lill Thursday and at his home, 1331 south Thirteenth street he entered into eternal rest. Death was due to paralysis which he suffered a week ago and which combined with the feebleness of advanced years worked rapid dissolution. Mr. Lill was one of the well known pioneer residents of the county and for 49 years has made this his home. Coming to Manitowoc in 1853 deceased had made his residence variously at Two Rivers, Mishicott and this city and was widely acquainted.

Lill of this city, Mrs. Fred Krahn, Marshfield and Mrs. Fred Hoffman, Milwaukee. Mr. Lill was one of those sturdy men to whose credit belongs in a great measure the prosperity of this section.

LILL GEORGE Death of George Lill last Sun. afternoon while on a hunting trip with companions Wm. Hoyer, Ferd. Veith, Jr., George Neudert and Frank Ebbert. The article describes their trip a few miles south of Manitowoc, a bit of horseplay and the circumstances by which the decedent shot himself. He was carried by wagon to his parent’s home where he died, and a coroner’s jury established that it was an accident. Der Nord Westen, 01 May 1879 ******** A FATAL ACCIDENT. On Sunday afternoon a party of four or five went out to hunt game about one mile and a half outside the city limits, near Silver Creek. They saw but little game, and shot one duck, but did not kill it outright. The duck fell into the water, and all began shooting at it. One of the men, George Lill, had a revolver and a muzzle loading rifle. He fired at the duck some eight or nine times, and his rifle became heated. He reloaded his gun the last time rather hurriedly, and was seated on a little elevation. Immediately after withdrawing the ramrod the charge in the gun exploded. There was no cap on the gun and the hammer at the time of loading was down. The muzzle of the gun was pointing toward his breast. The bullet entered his breast about two inches to the right of the sternum, passed completely through his chest and out near the right shoulder. It was fortunate that no one stood behind him, as the force of the bullet was not spent in its passage through Lill’s body. One of his fingers was cut off by the bullet, and he was under the impression that this was the extent of his injury, as he did not feel the bullet going through his body. Directly after noticing the injury to his hand, he felt a pain in his breast, and tearing the clothes away he discovered from the evidence of his sight and not through the consciousness of pain that he was fatally wounded. He spoke but once after the accident, saying: “I am shot; I shall die.” A messenger was dispatched for his father, and he was placed in a wagon and brought to the city but he died before reaching his home. He was an excellent marksman but very reckless in handling fire arms. A short while ago a bullet discharged from his own gun, struck a stone, rebounded and passed through his hat, which was on his head. An inquest was held before Justice Schmidt on Monday. An examination of the body showed that his chest was filled with blood, so that some large blood vessel must have been severed. Lill was an unmarried man, aged 21, and resided at the south side. He was employed by the railroad company and worked at the machine shop in this city. It is difficult to account for the discharge of the gun, but it must have resulted from being heated by the numerous rapid discharges. The powder being closely packed on account of the bullet’s being rammed down, ignited through the heat communicated by the barrel. Manitowoc Pilot, May 1, 1879 P. 3
