AMALIA EBERHARDT 1840-1920 Sent in by a family researcher/see contributors page DIE WAHRHEIT (German newspaper, Manitowoc County) 17 February 1920 [translated from German] On Wednesday, Mrs Amelia Eberhardt, widow of August Eberhardt, died of senility in the home of her daughter, Mrs Emma Aastaad. The deceased, whose maiden name was Amelia Mundt, was born 80 years ago in Nordhausen, Germany, and came to America at the age of seven with her parents, who settled in the town of Newton. At twenty, she married August Eberhardt, who died seven years ago. First, the couple managed a farm in the town of Newton and, later, in Four Corners; next, they moved to Manitowoc for many years. After the death of her husband, Mrs Eberhardt moved in with her previously mentioned daughter. She leaves behind six children, fourteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. The funeral is on Saturday afternoon from the German Methodist Church. ********** [unknown source] 80, DEAD; SHOCK HASTENS THE END Recent Death of Daughter a Blow of the Aged Woman Mrs. Amelia Eberhardt, widow of August Eberhardt, died at the home of her daughter Mrs Emma Aasted, 1103 South Twelfth street, last evening at the advanced age of 80 years. Death was due to infirmities incidental to old age and was probably hastened by the sudden death three months ago of a twin sister of Mrs Aasted, who passed away at Washington D C after a brief illness. The shock to the mother was severe and she never fully recovered from it. Mrs Eberhardt, who was Miss Amelia Mund before her marriage, was born in Nordhausen, Germany, and at the age of seven came to this country with her parents, coming to Manitowoc county to locate. At the age of twenty she was married to August Eberhardt, who preceded her in death seven years. After her marriage the family made their homes on farms in Newton and then purchased the Eberhardt place at the Four Corners, the farm which is now owned and operated by Henry, one of the sons. A number of years ago the couple removed to this city and erected a fine home on Michigan avenue, where they lived until the demise of the husband. Since that time Mrs. Eberhardt has been making her home with her daughter. Six children survive Mrs Eberhardt. They are Henry, Charles and William, Mrs William Sampe, Mrs Richard Rudolph, and Mrs Edward Aasted. Besides the children, fourteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren and one brother, Gottfried Mund, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, survive. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon from the late home at 1:30 and service will be held at the German Methodist church. The service will be in charge of Rev Schellhase.

AUGUST EBERHARDT (d. 1913) (The following was sent in by family researcher/see contributors page) DIE WAHRHEIT (German newspaper, Manitowoc County) 11 November 1913 [translation from German] On Wednesday at his home on Michigan Avenue, August Eberhardt died following an apoplectic fit, from which he had suffered for some time, as we reported.

Mr Eberhardt was 72 years of age. Mr Eberhardt's death was peaceful and, surrounded by members of his family and conscious to the last, he quietly passed to his rest, closing a life that had been characterized by industry that brought well merited success. The death of Mr Eberhardt will bring a pang of regret to many who knew him and who knew his worth as man and friend. Coming to Manitowoc county with his parents and brothers in 1852, at the age of 13, Mr Eberhardt carved his own success and by dint of hard work and business sagacity amassed a competency that in the closing days of his life had made him independent. For years Mr Eberhardt was one of the prominent farmers of the county, retiring sixteen years ago when he removed to this city where he has since resided on Michigan avenue. Mr Eberhardt was a native of Germany and was born at Hagenburg, Hannover, January 22, 1839. His boyhood days up to the time he was 13 were spent there. In 1852 the Eberhardt family located on a farm in the town of Newton, where Mr Eberhardt continued to reside until after his marriage November 28, 1860, to Amalia Mundt. Thirty years ago Mr Eberhardt purchased the old McAllister farm in the town of Rapids, said to be one of the first farms laid out in the county and which is today one of the most valuable. Sixteen years ago Mr Eberhardt removed to the city. Besides his wife, Mr Eberhardt is survived by seven children, Mrs Wm Sampe and Henry Eberhardt, town of Rapids; Mrs Richard Rudolph, Mrs E Aastad, Charles Eberhardt, this city; Mrs William O'Hara, of Washington D C; and William, town of Manitowoc. Two brothers, Henry and Ernst also survive. Mr Eberhardt was a devoted husband and indulgent father and found his chief happiness in life in his home, surrounded by his children, who gathered frequently for family reunions. He had the respect of neighbors and friends and was prominent in the business affairs of the community.

Mr. Edwards was a member of important committees in the council, chairman of the library committee and member of the committees on assessment and finance, fire and water and streets. Mr. Edwards was married about seven years ago to Mrs. Amanda Krainik, widow of the late Frank Krainik, who with one daughter, Iris, survives him. One brother, Arthur, and a sister, Mrs. E.

ELLIOTT TODAY VETERAN CHIEF ENGINEER OF GOODRICH LINE Well Known Resident of City Passes Away After Long Illness Death which came to him at the family home on St. Clair street at 6 o'clock this morning brought to a close the long and active life of William E. Elliott, for fifty years chief engineer of the Goodrich transit company and at his death consulting engineer of the line, although retired. The death of Mr. Elliott was peaceful and came as result of a decline which he had suffered for several months and which his advanced age made it impossible for him to combat. Funeral services for Mr. Elliott will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the First Presbyterian church, the Rev. M.S. Weber officiating. The body will be taken to the church at 10 Wednesday morning to lie in state until the funeral service. A request made by Mr. Elliott that the male quartette of the Kiwanis club, of which he was a charter member, sing at the funeral, will be complied with. The death of Mr. Elliott, while not unexpected, comes as a shock to the community in which he had resided for more than thirty years and where he has been one of the most beloved citizens, admired and respected by all for the high ideals and sterling character which he possessed. Although in late years, because of illness and age, denied the activities of former years, Mr. Elliott up to his last illness was a familiar figure at the gatherings of organizations with which he was affiliated and which at all times on those occasiosn paid tribute in honoring him. Elks Pay Him Honor An indication of the high regard to which Mr. Elliott was held was manifested by the Manitowoc Lodge of Elks, of which he was a charter member, at a meeting a month ago when he was unanimously voted a life membership in the order by the lodge. On the occasion of a visit of Grant Exalted Ruler Atwell of the Elks to the city recently Mr. Elliott was unable to be present because of illness and it was a great disappointment to him when he was forced to send regrets. He was one of the oldest members of Manitowoc lodge and none in the organization commanded a greater love than he. A Native of England Mr. Elliott was a native of England, born in 1840 at Nottinghamshire and came to America in 1854 when his parents located at London, Canada where he received his early education. His service as an engineer in which he achieved national fame, was ushered in when he entered the employ of the Great Western Railway company, with which he remained for six years. Later he was associated with the Detroit Locomotive Works for two years. In July 1863 Mr. Elliott entered upon what proved to be his life career and achievement of prominence when he secured a berth as assistant engineer of a new steamer, Reindeer, on the Saginaw river. The following year he was appointed assistant engineer of the steamship Milwaukee between Grand Haven and Milwaukee and in 1865 became chief engineer of the Ward line. When the Goodrich Transit company purchased the steamer Alpena Mr. Elliott became chief engineer and was in charge of the boat for one season. In 1868 he located at Milwaukee and 1894 removed to Chicago, retaining his connection with the Goodrich company whose boat, the steamer Sheboygan, he was chief of for four seasons and was then appointed chief engineer of the entire line. Directed Building of Boats In his capacity as chief engineer Mr. Elliott superintended the building of many boats of the Goodrich fleet including the Chicago, DePere, City of Racine, Indiana, Iowa and Georgia and directed the placing of machinerys in all of the boats. For many years Mr. Elliott devoted his work to building of boats for the company and directing the improvements which from time to time were added. A Popular Official Old employes of the Goodrich company today said that there had never been a more popular official in the directory of the company than Mr. Elliott. He was always faithful, always courteous, always true and always a gentleman and his character and ideals fitted in with a life whose passing brings to all who knew him more intimately a keen sorrow in a sense of a real loss to them personally. Always a close and hard worker Mr. Elliott up to the very time of his retirement gave his energy to perfecting improvements in marine engineering and many of his ideas are today featured in machinery of boats not only on the lakes but in ocean traffic as well. He was prominent as a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Naval Engineers, and of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association of which later organization he was nation vice president. Locally Mr. Elliot was a charter member of the Elks of this city ???? the Kiwanis club in both organizations of which he took an (the last two sentences are unreadable) organizations was missed by Mr. Elliott up to the time of his critical illness and he was always called upon at these gatherings for talks. Mr. Elliott is survived by his widow whom he married after the death of his former wife and whose two sons of a former marriage were given Mr. Elliott's name after the union, L.J. Elliott of Chicago and S.S. Elliott of Panama. Mr. Elliott was a personal friend of the late A.W. Goodrich, founder of the Goodrich Transportation company, and of his son who succeeded as head of the company and was intimate with the late Capt. D.M. Cochrane, another veteran official of the Goodrich line whose death occurred about a year ago. Members of the Elks and the Kiwanis club will attend the funeral on Wednesday in a body.
