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] (Mrs Amelia Eberhardt), 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 **:30 and service will be held at the German Methodist church. The service will be in charge of Rev Schellhase. Interment will be at Evergreen.AUGUST EBERHARDT 1875-1909 From Der Nord Westen, 04 Mar. 1909: Death in Phoenix, Arizona, on Thursday of August Eberhardt of a lung illness.

AUGUST EBERHARDT 1839-1913 (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.

Thirty years ago, Mr Eberhardt bought the old McAllister farm in the town of Manitowoc Rapids, and managed it until he moved to the city of Manitowoc 17 years ago.

* * * * * * * * * * [unknown source]PIONEER RESIDENT ANSWERS DEATH'S CALL PARALYSIS WHICH HE SUFFERED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HASTENS DEATH OF WELL KNOWN RESIDENT August Eberhardt, pioneer settler and one of the best known residents of the county, answered death's summons to rest at his home on Michigan Avenue at 6 o'clock this morning, death being directly due to a stroke of paralysis which Mr Eberhardt suffered some time ago and from which he never recovered, though he had been confined to his bed only a short time. 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. The funeral of Mr Eberhardt will be held from the German M E church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.FRIEDRICH EBERHARDT From Der Nord Westen, 21 Mar. 1907: Friedrich Eberhardt, a well-known resident of our city, died Friday morning of old age debility.

Funeral Wednesday— Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2:30, p.m. from the home, with the Rev. C.H. Phipps of the First Presbyterian church officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. Coming to Manitowoc at the turn of the century from Port Washington, Mr. Eckels became identified with grain companies here and later founded the cold storage business which he managed in recent years. He was also prominent in butter, egg and dairy organizations throughout the United States, having been chosen president of the National Poultry and Egg Association at Chicago last September. Although his business interests occupied most of his time he served three terms on the Board of Education, was a leader in the Association of Commerce and later the Chamber of Commerce, and at numerous times declined efforts of friends and supporters to have him become a candidate for mayor. He was born in LaCrosse in 1880, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Eckels. A few years later his parents moved to Port Washington where he attended high school. He was still in high school at the time of the Spanish-American war in 1897, and at the age of 17 helped organize Company L in Port Washington. He secured the ranking of top sergeant and the company was mustered in at Milwaukee. Before the unit could be moved into active service the war ended. Following his graduation from the Port Washington High School Mr. Eckels took a course in a Milwaukee business college. After three years with the Cargill Grain Company in Green Bay he came to Manitowoc in 1901. Organized Produce Company—He was first connected with the Northern Grain Company in Manitowoc. He left this company in 1908 and organized the Northern Wisconsin Produce Company. He was president and manager of this company at the time of his death. The firm gradually expanded its business in the packing of eggs, and handled cheese, butter, dairy supplies and farm products. A few years ago the Manitowoc Refrigerating Company was organized by the officers of the parent company. A modern plant was erected at Clark and South 14th streets. Mr. Eckels took an active interest in the advancement of the industrial interests of the city. He was one of the organizers of the Association of Commerce 25 years ago. In more recent years he was a director of the Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Traffic Committee. He served three terms on the Board of Education and was president in his final year on the board. Elected to a three year term in 1921, he was on the board during the period that the Lincoln High School was under construction. He was re-named to two additional terms and in 1930 declined to serve a fourth term. 32nd Degree Mason— Mr. Eckels was a 32nd degree Mason and Shriner, his affiliation including membership in the Tripoli Temple of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Consistory. He was a member of the Manitowoc lodge of Elks. In addition to being president of the National Poultry and Egg Association he was a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Shortly after locating in Manitowoc, Mr. Eckels married Miss Blanche Schuette of this city. She survives with a daughter, and four sons. —Manitowoc Herald-Times, Manitowoc, wis., Monday, December 16, 1940, No. 49—Page Two (contributed by researcher/see contributors page)
