EDWARD BREY (d. 1930) Prominent Grocer Victim of Appendicitis Attack EDW. BREY JR. DIES AT HOME LAST EVENING Was Operated on Two Weeks Ago; In Business With Father; Took Over Store 3 Years Ago Suffering an attack of appendicitis two weeks ago yesterday, and undergoing an operation, Edwin Frederick Brey, aged 44, prominent north side grocer, passed away last evening at the family home, 810 North Eighth street. His death was a shock to his family and friends, many of the latter not even knowing that he was in a serious condition. Mr. Brey, who, with his father, had been engaged in the retail grocery and fruit business on the north side here for 25 years, had enjoyed the best of health up to the day he was stricken ill. He was a great sport devotee, and despite his weight, was able to play diamond ball in the same class with players many years his junior. Only two days before he was taken ill he played a game of diamond ball on the Lincoln park grounds as a member of the Herald-News team. Burial on Saturday After his operation Mr. Brey showed signs of improvement and for days strong hopes were held out for his recovery. But Wednesday his condition took a turn for the worse and he passed away at 7:30 last evening. Funeral services will be held on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 from the home on North Eighth street and at two o'clock from the Emanuel Lutheran church on the north side, with Rev. Uetzman officiating.

He obtained his education in the local schools and early in life entered the employ of his father, Edward Brey Sr. in the conduct of the grocery and fruit store on North Eighth street, located on the present site of the Dick Bros. store. He was later taken into the business and the firm became known as Edward Brey and Sons. In the year 1914 a new brick store and warehouse was erected by the firm at the southwest corner of North Eight and Chicago streets. Takes Over Business Two and a half years ago Edward Brey Sr. retired from active business and the son then took charge of the business, which he conducted up to the time of his death.

Was Ardent Fan The death of Mr. Brey removes from the community an ardent sport fan particularly of high school athletics. Both of Mr. Brey's sons, Kenneth, who graduated this last June, and Edwin, who finished two years ago, were prominent in basketball, football and track at Lincoln high school and Mr. Brey was a close follower of the teams on which his sons were members, follwing them to neighboring cities for their contests. Mr. Brey was a devout member of the Lutheran church here. Always of a jovial and happy disposition he counted his friends by the hundreds who will deeply regret the passing of a most promising and progressive young business man.

HENRY BURGER From Der Nord Westen, 27 June 1907: Death yesterday, following a long illness, of Henry Burger, who until a few years ago was one of the most eminent industrialists in our city… Mr. Burger was born 21 December 1839 in Germany and came to America with his parents as a 7-year old boy. The family settled in the State of New York from where the lad went toward the northwest when he was 17. He came to Wisconsin, worked for a while on a farm near Waukesha, and then went to Milwaukee to work at the old Wolf Shipyard where he built his reputation as a shipbuilder. Early in 1863 he came to Manitowoc to begin shipbuilding here. On 04 November of that same year he married Miss Mary Esslinger, daughter of then postmaster Charles Esslinger, his now surviving widow. Shipbuilding was increasing here and many steamships and sailing ships were built here every year. Mr. Burger associated himself in 1873 with Mr. Green Rand, and the firm of Rand & Burger quickly became first in local shipbuilding. The Goodrich Transit Co. had them build their steamships and they also built vessels for local and outside firms. Mr. Rand died in 1886 at which time Mr. Burger associated with his nephew, George Burger, and continued the firm under the name Burger & Burger. In 1887 this firm acquired the local dry dock which they enlarged and improved. The firm earned the reputation of being one of the best and most competent ship- building firms in the industry, but during this time wooden ships were no longer needed and the construction of ships with steel became general. Mr. Burger sold the Burger & Burger firm in 1902 to what is now the Manitowoc Dry Dock Co., and retired after 40 years of activity. A few weeks ago he caught a cold which the doctors were unable to cure and from which he grew steadily weaker leading to his death yesterday… His death is mourned by his widow and 2 adopted daughters, Mrs. A. Mueller in Milwaukee, and Miss Emma Burger here, as well as a sister Mrs. Margarethe Wolf in Seattle, Washington, and his nephews Geo. and Henry Burger, Jr., here. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the funeral home on the corner of 9th and Hamilton Streets. ************ From Der Nord Westen, 04 July 1907: Mr. and Mrs. A. Moeller of Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burmeister of Terre Haute, Indiana, and Arthur Esslinger and his daughter of Danville, Illinois, were here to attend the funeral of Henry Burger.
