MARY (O HAGERTY) HEALY Mrs. Mary Healy, widow of the late John Healy, died Monday morning at the family home, 1415 Marshall Street. Her death was due to an attack of gallstones which became acute two months or more ago and had confined the patient to her bed for eight weeks. Mrs. Healy was born in County Kerry, Ireland, June 9, 1842, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Flaherty. She came to this country at the age of five with her parents, the family taking up their home at Milwaukee. A few years later they moved to Glenmore, Brown County and in May, 1863 the deceased was married to John Healy at Green Bay. They also took up their home at Glenmore where they continued to reside until the death of her husband thirty years ago. Mrs. Healy continued to make her home at Glenmore for ten years after her husband's death and then was induced to come to Manitowoc where a number of her sons and daughters had located. For twenty years she has been a resident of this city. Two years ago she made a trip to Seattle, Washington to spend the summer with her son, Dennis J. Healy. Mr. Healy was here to spend Christmas with his mother, returning to Seattle after the holidays. Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Healy and of this number, eight survive the mother: John J., Con P., Dann M. of this city; Dennis J. of Seattle, the Misses Minnie and Nora Healy, Mrs. Walter M. Joyce and Mrs. Julia Joyce, all of this city. Twenty seven grandchildren also survive her. Mrs. Healy was a woman devoted to her children. Vain is any attempt to measure the loss of a mother, after all the poets have sung and lovers dreamed, outside of heaven there is no love like a mother's love. In the light, not of the sun, neither of the moon, we now see her beyond the fields of fadeless asphodel, under the waving palms, besides the still waters, bordered with silver lilies. These may be merely figures but they bear a precious meaning to yearning hearts made for the deep household loves; hearts tht will not be comforted because the Angel of the House is missing. The funeral was held this morning from St. Boniface Church with a solemn requiem Mass. Interment was in Calvary Cemetery.

February 28, 1936 P. 2 ******** FALL FROM 4TH STORY MAY BE FATAL Ed Herman, this City, Is Injured at St. Louis, Mo. PARENTS SUMMONED TO HIS BEDSIDE Falling from the fourth story of a building upon which he was at work, Edward Herman, a Manitowoc man was seriously, if not fatally injured at St. Louis, Mo., Friday, news of the accident reaching here in messages summoning relatives to attend him. The dispatch gives but meagre details of the accident but it is feared Mr. Herman's injuries are serious. According to the dispatch received, Mr. Herman sustained the fracture of both arms, one at the elbow and the other between the elbow and shoulder, was seriously bruised and may have been internally injured as result of the terrible fall. The fact that Mr. Herman is a heavy man may have had some bearing upon the accident and the extent of injuries and it is probable that in a fall of four stories, probably fully 70 feet, he must have been much more seriously hurt than the dispatch says. Mr. Herman is a son of B. Herman and was formerly associated with his father in the firm of B. Herman and Sons, carpenter contractors in the city. He left here several years ago and was located at Chicago until two years ago when he removed to St. Louis and had established himself in the contracting business. Mr. Herman is married, his wife having been Miss Nellie Waterhouse of this city and they have visited here every summer.

ALEX HERMANN Man Loses Life as Chair Burns Alex Hermann Death Blamed on Cigarette MANITOWOC—Alex Hermann, 74, of 1222 South 14th St., Manitowoc, retired tavern operator, was cremated in a fire that presumably started from a cigarette spark as he sat in a chair in the living room of his home late Thursday afternoon. Fire Chief Reuben Wetenkamp said when his men reached the home in response to a phone call they found Hermann a virtual human torch with the chair and a nearby bed in flames. Hermann’s wife, Rose, told the chief she had given her husband a cigarette a short time before, waited until he smoked it and then presumably put it out in an ash tray before going outside. Her husband has been a semi-invalid in recent years. Neighbors noticed smoke coming from the windows of the living room and rushed over. One neighbor sought to enter the home with a garden hose but was driven back by the flames. A booster line from one of the fire trucks quickly extinguished the chair, bed and rugs.

FERDINAND HERMANN As he was leaving work from the factory of the American School Furniture Co. with his fellow workmen on Thurs. evening, Ferdinand Hermann suddenly fell to the ground. His comrades sprang to his help, but there was nothing they could do because a heart attack had claimed Hermann’s life. Ferdinand Hermann was born in Germany in 1833 and came to Manitowoc with his family about 38 yrs. ago, where he has lived ever since. He was known as an excellent cabinetmaker, was quite healthy despite his age, and his work was always in demand. He had been employed in the above-named factory about a year. A couple of years ago he injured his heart when he fell from a scaffold while at work on some construction in Branch, and it is thought that this may have led to the recent heart attack. He leaves a sorrowing widow and 5 children. The funeral was held Mon. morning from St. Boniface Church with interment in the local Catholic Cemetery.

The death of Mr. Herman took place in the presence of several fellow workmen who saw him stagger and fall to the ground, face downward. They made haste to assist him, but found that he had expired. The family and the coroner were notified and the body was taken to the late home of the deceased on South Fourteenth street. Friday morning an inquest was held. The verdict of the jury was that the decedent had come to his death from natural causes. The deceased was a native of Germany. He came here with his parents in 1866 and had been residing here continuously since. He was a carpenter by trade and his employers considered him one of the most competent men in the mechanical department, in spite of his advanced age.

OSWALD HERMANN From Der Nord Westen, 28 Nov. 1907: (Detailed article about the suicide of Oswald Hermann by ingesting carbolic acid at age 55, leaving a widow and 10 children as well as several sisters. The funeral was held Monday.) ******** SUICIDES WITH CARBOLIC ACID Oswald Herman (sic) Ends His Life While Crazed By Liquor Friday WAS DYING WHEN FOUND Police Reached Home Few Minutes After Man Had Taken Acid—Act Was Premeditated During Day Carbolic acid was used by Oswald Herman, a South side man to end his life Friday after he had failed in efforts to purchase a revolver for the purpose, Herman being found in dying condition in a room at his home at 6 o’clock by the police who hastened to the home in hope of frustrating the crazed man in his desire, when notified of the probable intention. Dr. F. S. Luhman, who was summoned, could do nothing to revive Herman who died within a short time. That Herman premeditated suicide and had planned to end his life with a revolver is evidenced from his attempt to purchase a weapon at the store of Max Milski, Ninth and Jay street, which he visited late in the afternoon. Mr. Milski declined to sell Herman a revolver because of his condition, it being said that the man was intoxicated at the time. From the Milski store, Herman visited the Buerstatte pharmacy where he insisted upon purchasing carbolic acid, to be used, he said, to kill rats. The clerk tried to induce Hermann to accept rat poison but this he declined too and be was finally given ten cents worth of the acid, after signing for it. Suspecting that Herman contemplated suicide or some rash act, Mr. Milski, after refusing to sell a revolver to the man, watched him and when Herman entered the Buerstatte drug store, Milski was convinced that his suspicions were well grounded and he immediately made his way to the store and conferred with Mr. Buerstatte relative to the probable intention of his customer. The police office was notified of Herman’s acts and the fact that he had purchased carbolic acid and it was suggested that the matter be investigated. Following the suggestion an officer was dispatched to the Herman home, at Thirteenth and Hamilton street, and upon arrival found that interference was too late, the man having accomplished his purpose. A rumor is current that Herman had made threats against his wife and it is feared that he contemplated an attack upon the woman had he been successful in purchasing a revolver. The domestic relations in the home are said not to have always been pleasant and this is one of the reasons for the suicide, according to reports. After failing to purchase a revolver, Herman had no weapon for the attack upon his wife, if one was contemplated, and this undoubtedly prevented a double tragedy. Threats of ending his own life had been made by Herman on several occasions, it is said, and lately he had changed his will twice, withdrawing a will he filed Nov. 14 from probate court Nov. 21 with the declaration that the paper would never be returned. Herman is said to have made an effort to break the liquor habit, to which he was addicted, and became discouraged when he was unable to do so and this, with other trouble, is believed to have unbalanced his mind. Herman, who was 55 years of age, had been a resident of the city all of his life, coming here with his parents as a child of three weeks old. He was a carpenter by trade and had been employed at the shops of the Manitowoc Seating Works but had not worked for several days. No intimation of his intention was given when he left the saloon at 5:30 in the evening, after taking a small amount of money from the cash drawer and he evidently entered the house quietly upon his return as the visit of the police gave the family the first clew (sic) to the probable suicide. A widow and ten children survive Herman, the children being Joseph, John, Mrs. George Halverson and Hattie of this city, Mrs. A. Cherney, Mrs. A. Pall, Chicago, William of California, Ambrose, Adolph and Agnes of Delafield, this state. Three brothers and six sisters and an aged mother also survive him. The funeral will be held on Monday. No inquest was deemed necessary in the case, and none was called. Manitowoc Daily Herald, November 23, 1907 P. 1 ******** ENDS LIFE WITH ACID. Oswald Hermann, for many years a resident of this city, committed suicide at his home on south Fourteenth street last Friday evening by taking carbolic acid. Mr. Hermann had been despondent for some time past and this cause is assigned as the reason for his rash act. That he had planned out the method by which his death was to be accomplished, to at least some extent, is shown by the fact that he attempted to purchase a revolver at the store of Max Milski late Friday afternoon, and failing in this, went direct to Buerstatte's drug store, where he procured a small quantity of carbolic acid, stating that he wanted it for use in ridding his place of rates. On this excuse he was given the poison and left the store. Mr. Milski after refusing to sell him the revolver became suspicious of his actions and followed him to Buerstatte's, arriving very shortly after Hermann had departed from there. Milski told Mr. Buerstatte his suspicions and they telephoned to the police station, requesting that an officer be sent to Hermann's home to take the acid from him. The officers went immediately but Herman had swallowed the poison before their arrival, and died within a few minutes afterward. Herman was a carpenter by trade. For some years past he had been the owner of a saloon building at 13th and Hamilton streets, but ha had the place rented during the greater part of the time. A widow and ten children survive him.

PATRICK H. HEWITT Mr. and Mrs. P.H. Hewitt are on their way home from California. Mr. Hewitt has abundoned (sic) all hopes of recovery. Should his fears be relized it will be an nutimely (sic) cutting off of a life full of promise. Indeed, in the matter of performance it has been such that time has been anticipated and the measure of duty is full. Manitowoc county has had no man whose influence for good has been greater than that of Mr. Hewitt, and it is to be hoped that the conclusion of the physicians will prove faulty. Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, May 16, 1895 P. 4 ******** Death yesterday afternoon, after a long illness, of Mr. P.H. Hewitt of pneumonia. The deceased, who was born in Cooperstown, was a well thought of teacher, many years at the school in the 1st Ward. He leaves a widow and one child. We are told that the funeral will take place Sat. morning at the city cemetery. Der Nord Westen, 20 June 1895 (Error in the newspaper. He is buried in Calvary) ******** From the Files of the Pilot – Twenty-Five Years Ago – 1895 P. H. Hewitt died in this city yesterday afternoon. He had returned only a few weeks before from California whither he had gone in the hope that a change in climate would prove beneficial. He was disappointed in this and came home to die. His death was easy and he was conscious to the last. Mr. Hewitt was born in Cooperstown June 1, 1857. He began teaching school when 17 years of age. He attended the Oshkosh Normal School for five months and the state university one year having secured a state certificate. He was married Oct. 28, 1885. He was principal of the Kiel High School for two years and of the First Ward School of this city for eight years. Mr. Hewitt was in large measure self taught. Never did a man labor more industriously to enlarge his education or work more conscientiously to instruct others. His mind was of the philosophic order and he built the structure of his knowledge on well accepted principles. He learned early to generalize and the details of his work had a basis of indisputable and broad facts. He was a great teacher for the reason that everything he taught had been passed through the ? of his own experience and he was merciless in demanding intellectual honesty of himself. He could not slight a duty because he had always held himself with rigid exactitude to the performance of every duty until it became second nature to him. Study became his life and to impart instruction the purpose of his being. Though thorough in everything, his habit of generalization gave expansion to his thought and his horizon never became narrowed by his absorption in his work. He had the honesty of the student, the moral stamina of the man who is honest in his thought, the courage of him who never flew from duty. The life of such a man is an inspiration to the young; there is ever around him an atmosphere of purity because intellectual integrity is always pure and high conception of duty is ennobling. He employed no arts to win the confidence of his students. He commanded their respect by the elevated character of his purpose and he became their exemplar. Association with him taught them to carry their conscience with them and they needed no promptings of the voice of authority to keep them in the line of duty. He taught so as to build character and thus laid the foundation for useful and moral lives. He interested himself in everything pertaining to the progress of the young and even sought to implant higher ideals in those minds not immature. He was always a teacher and to all people by the force of his example as well as by his professional work. Every movement for the betterment of society had his active support and his name became a synonym for intellectual progress. In this hastily written sketch it is almost impossible to do him justice or to deal with more than one feature of his character. The First Ward School is his monument. The young men and women who have quit that school with purpose stamped upon their souls, strengthened by discipline and impressed with the belief that self reliance, industry and intelligence, open the way to success – these bear with them memories of their teacher which time cannot efface until time for them shall be no more. His years were few but they were used with such little waste that the measure of performance is full. His devotion to his calling was such that he died a martyr to it and wherever he was known, his name will be mentioned with reverence and respect.
