PHILIP GARBER Note: Please find following this message, the obituaries for my mother-in-law's grandfather. Philip Garvey. My mother-in-law was a Garber and no one knows of the explanation why the name got changed from Garvey to Garber. The Manitowoc Co. records show the name both ways for his four children. As we understand it, He married an Irish Woman (Ms. Haloran), but my mother-in-law thought that he himself was German (however there is an Irish immigrant, namely Patrick Garvey, buried in the Calvary Cemetery). “A FATAL ACCIDENT. Philip Garvey, aged forty-six years, died at the Holy Family hospital on Wednesday morning, Feb. 6, after having been unconscious for about for hours, as a result of a fall down a coal chute. The accident occurred Monday afternoon, Feb. 4, when Mr. Garvey, who was employed as a teamster, was about to unload a load of coal at the hospital. The unfortunate man had his skull fractured in the fall. He never regained consciousness. Garvey leaves a wife and two small children—a son and a daughter—to mourn his loss. The decedent was a brother-in-law of James Holleran, He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Cato lodge. The funeral was held last Saturday morning from the St. Boniface church in this city. Interment took place at Calvary cemetery. Mr. Garvey’s untimely end is deplored by all who knew him, and the bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their sore affliction. The family home is near the plant of the Clay company, Mr. Garvey having been an employe of that concern.” The Manitowoc Pilot, Volume XLVIII, Manitowoc, Wis., Thursday, February 14, 1907, Number 32 INJURY HAD FATAL RESULT Philip Garvey Dies From Fall at Hospital Monday Without having regained consciousness, Philip Garvey, the Clay Product Co. employe injured at the Holy Family hospital Monday, died early today, death being due to hemorrhages which he suffered as a result of the injury to the skull.

Philip Garvey, Fuhrmann der Manitowoc Clay Product Co. zog sich durch einen Sturz im Hospital zur heiligen Familie, einen schweren, tödtlichen Schädelbruch zu. Garvey, der mit seiner Familie ein Haus in den Höfen der Clay Pr. Co. bewohnt, ist von seinen Arbeitgebern einer der geschätztesten Angestellten. Er war an seinen Unglückstage, letzten Montag, beschäftigt, eine Fuhre Kohlen in dem Hospital abzuliefern. Beim Durchgang zum Maschinenhaus stürzte er eine vier Fuß hohe Treppe herunter und schlug hierbei so schwer mit dem Kopf gegen einen Stapel Ziegelsteine, daß er bewustlos liegen blieb und auch bis zum Dienstag, ohne zu sich gekommen zu sein, im Hospital lag.

Philip Garvey, Carter (teamster) of Manitowoc Clay Product Co. drew himself through an accident at the Holy Family Hospital, a severe, deadly skull fracture. Garvey, who with his family inhabited a house in the Clay Pr. Co. district was according to his employer one of the most treasured employees. On his misfortunate day, last Monday he occupied himself with a coal delivery to the Hospital. On his way through the maintenance house he plunged down a four-foot high step and hit in this way, his head so hard against a pile of bricks that he died there in the hospital remaining unconscious also into Tuesday without coming to. Without him having regained consciousness, the badly injured passed on. The man was so suddenly and horribly met his maker, reached an age of 46 years. He is the father of a family and a sickly wife and two children survive him. The deeply sorrowed family has our heartfelt sympathy. —interpretation by Emilie B.

CARL HEINGARTEN, SR. From Der Nord Westen, 25 Jan. 1906 Death Tuesday evening of 57-year old Carl Heingarten, Sr., of a brain disease in Holy Family Hospital. The deceased was born 19 September 1848 in Baden and as a boy came to America with his parents, arriving in our city where he has lived since 1857. During the Civil War he served as a volunteer with the 39th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. In 1870 he married Miss Louise Winter, his now sorrowing widow. Also mourning his passing are 4 children – Carl Heingarten, Jr., of Chicago, Mrs. W. Willinger and Miss Rose and Walter Heingarten here, as well as a brother living in New Orleans, Louisiana, and 2 sisters. The deceased was a shoemaker by trade and for many years operated a shoe store on South Main Street. He was a member of the G.A.R. and of the singing club “Concordia”. In his passing the city has lost a respected and beloved citizen and the family has lost a loving husband and father. He was often elected by his fellow citizens to positions of trust and he filled those posts honorably. The funeral will be held Saturday morning from St. Boniface Church. NOTE: I believe this is where this obit goes, the year of death matches, the Civil War regiment matches and there are no other Carl Heingartens in and other cemeteries, although the year of birth differs.
