CHARLES F. CANRIGHT From Der Nord Westen, 29 May 1902: Death Fri. in Pasadena, California, of Mr. Charles F. Canright, a well-known resident of our city, of consumption. He had gone west several months ago in hopes of building up his health. He was born in Manitowoc 30 Nov. 1859. For many years he was employed by the Hamilton Manufacturing Co. in Two Rivers, eventually taking over the agency of the Goodrich Transportation Co. which located him here. As his illness increased he was granted a pension of $50 a month in recognition of his years of long service. He was held in the highest esteem here and in Two Rivers. His casket was brought here yesterday and will be buried today in the city cemetery.
CHARLES S. CANRIGHT From Der Nord Westen, 25 Jan. 1900: Death on Mon. morning of Charles L. Canright here of cancer complicated with a stroke. The deceased was born 19 Mar. 1827 in the state of New York and came to Wisconsin as a youth of 19. At the beginning of his 50th year he came to Two Rivers and was employed as a teacher, a year later moving to Manitowoc. In his 60’s he filled the office of County School Superintendent and was elected Justice of the Peace several times. During the last few years he had an insurance agency. The deceased leaves 4 children, one of whom is Frank Canright, the popular local agent for the Goodrich Transportation Co., and in whose home the death occurred. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon. ******** IN DEATH, FINDS REST. Charles S. Canright Responds To Sudden Call of Death at An Early Hour. HAD SUFFERED MANY YEARS. Death Due to Parslysis of the Heart, Caused by Cancer-A Resident of the City Nearly Fifty Years-His Life. Just as the brightness of one of winter's fairest days was dawning on the city, the radiance of that brighter eternal day burst on the vision of one of the men, who for the past 40 years has been connected with the city's life and Charles S. Canright passed through the gates to which there is no outward swing. Death came to him at the home of his son, Frank S. Canright at 5 o'clock this morning and the summons to which no man can say nay was sudden, giving the devoted family little warning that the last farewell must be said, while news of Mr. Canright's death was received with sorrow by the many friends. Although decedent had been a sufferer for many years from cancer, the attending physicians anticipated no immediate danger, and in fact considered Mr. Canright's lease of life, many months. But the uncertainty of human existence was forcibly and sadly illustrated in the unpitying decree of fate which called him, who ten minutes before was about the house and conversing freely with his children. The direct cause of death is attributed to paralysis of the heart. Charles S.Canright was born at Hunter, Green Co., New York, March 19, 1827 and when quite young removed with his parents to Ulster Co., the same state. When 19 years of age he came to Wisconsin and entered Carrol college at Waukesha, where he completed his education. Shortly after graduation he engaged as teacher and removed to Two Rivers. A few years late he came to this city, where he has since resided. He was married September, 20, 1856, to Miss Grace S. Baker and six children blessed the union. During his residence here Mr. Canright was engaged in the insurance business and has been closely identified with the advancement of the city. He served as county superintendant of schools during the 60's and was for several terms a justice of the peace. He retired from active business life several years ago, but attended to his insurance work, up to the time of his death. The deceased was of a quiet, retiring disposition, but attached strongly to himself all who enjoyed his acquaintance. A cultured, scholarly man, having received an excellent education,he kept up an acquaintance with the progress of thought in all departments and this gave intelligence and breadth of mind, which made his company, at all times, entertaining and instructive. Personally everyone respected him and the announcemet (sic) of his death will cause widespread sorrow. He was a kind father, an upright business man and a staunch friend; one who did quietly and unostentatiously the work set before him, who played well his part in life and whose presence will be missed. Crowned with the length of years and with the honor of a life work well done, he sleeps the last long peaceful sleep. Four children survive to mourn his loss, two having died. The wife and mother died some fourteen years ago. The children surviving are Alderman Frank Canright, and Miss Emma Canright, of this city, Mrs. A.E. Hall, of Chicago and W.S. Canright, of Dayton, O. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Friends are kindly requested to omit flowers. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, January 22, 1900 P.1

WILLIAM CARLE CAPT. WM. CARLE VETERAN POLICE OFFICER IS DEAD Death Came as Relief From Long Suffering Last Night (Photo) Captain William Carle, veteran member of the Manitowoc Police department who retired three years ago on pension because of failing health, died at his home, 1208 South Ninth street, at 10 o'clock last night, the end coming as a welcome relief from sufferings that for more than two years have made death only a question of time. Captain Carle was a victim of cancer and during the past few months he had suffered tortures, his strong constitution warding off death when it would have been a mercy to him. The end came peacefully while Mr. Carle was sleeping. TERROR OF EVIL DOERS Appointed a member of the police force on April 29, 1885, when he served as a night watchman under Robert Blake, the decedent continued a member of the department up to October 12, 1918-thiry-seven years-when his health forced his retirement and he was placed on the pension list. For many years he held rank of captain in the department and was known as a terror to evil doers. Captain Carle was in charge of the city's tramp station for a long term of years and the place was known as Carle's hotel and he took pride in his management. He was particularly active in keeping the city free of tramps and after one or two visits the boes gave Manitowoc a wide birth, the stern methods of Captain Carle being known for miles around and he showed little compassion. He believed that a man who wanted to work could find it and when the Wandering Willies reached Hotel Carle, they were compelled to perform service for their keep. A NATIVE OF CITY Captain Carle was a native of Manitowoc, born in the city May 4, 1857. His father conducted a bakery at Washington and Ninth street. As a boy he learned the cooper's trade and later was employed at the shipyards until appointed to the police force. Following his retirement in 1918 Captain Carle was under the care of specialists at Chicago and Milwaukee, but was unable to find relief and for three years he has suffered a living death, but had borne his affliction with a courage born of despair. Besides his wife Captain Carle is survived by six children; John, of Riddle, Ore.; Harry, of Milwaukee; Charles and Fred and Mrs. Rozinski and Mrs. William Ely of this city. Five sisters also survive, being Mrs. Carolina Neumeister and Mrs. Bertha Pregle of Chicago; Miss Josephine Carle, Mrs. Alvina Tracy and Mrs. Emma Griffin of this city. HAD A BIG HEART Although "Cap" Carle, as he was familiarly known to members of the police force and to the public, had the reputation of being a hard master, under a rough exterior he possessed a heart that was as big as his person and while he insisted upon obedience from prisoners in his charge, he never imposed hardship on them and was willing to meet them half way, and many a prisoner found a helpful friend in him. Capt. Carle was a good officer, faithful to his trust and he prided himself upon his ability to handle the rough element which in earlier days infested the city and oftentimes caused much trouble. The funeral will take place Saturday at 2 o'clock. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Wednesday, May 11, 1921 P. 1 ******** [bur 05-14-1921/cause: cancer]

BERTHA CARUS From Der Nord Westen, 26 May 1887: Death of Miss Bertha Carus, daughter of Fritz Carus, on 11 May in Manitowoc. The young lady who was not quite 18 years old, died of diphtheria.
CAPT. EDWARD CARUS (By Capt. Edward Carus) The above picture, taken of the lower harbor here in 1887, was a common one in the local harbor in the seventies and eighties, with vessels in the harbor loaded with forest products from Wisconsin enroute to the Chicago and Milwaukee market. These vessels, encountering strong head winds put into the harbor here for shelter. As soon as the wind shifted they all got under way for their destination. The vessel lying broadside in the harbor was the Mediterranean. A few years before, on Sunday, June 22, 1871, this same vessel arrived here from Buffalo, New York, with a locomotive on her deck. This locomotive came here by water as did most of the inhabitants in those days. Since the railroad has been built many people who were born in Manitowoc and died here of old age were never out on the lake, but every year people from the south and west come to the lakes purposely to make a trip on the water. The locomotive which came on the vessel was named "Ben Jones" in honor of Manitowoc's foremost citizen of that time. It was a great day for Manitowoc, the whole town turned out and lined the docks at North Sixth street where the vessel was lying. The next day the vessel was towed up river into the corner near the ship yard gate. Then the locomotive was jacked and blocked up, rails were placed on the schooner's rail leading to the yards and the Ben Jones was eased off into the railroad yards. In the picture may be seen the old wooden Eight street bridge with the hog trusses to strengthen it. This bridge was replaced about 1890 by an iron swing bridge and again a few years ago with the present one. East of the bridge may be seen the old city elevator built by subscription and sold to the William Rahr's Sons Co., and moved to their plant.
