ESTHER (KRESS) FORREST

MRS. G.A. FORREST DIES SUDDENLY ON VISIT TO APPLETON
Messages Received this Morning of Her Death a Great Shock to Friends. 
Body Here Monday for Burial
Stricken while on a visit to her daughter at Appleton, Mrs. G.A. 
Forrest for nearly fifty years a resident of this city, died suddenly 
this morning in that city, messages announcing her demise coming as a 
great shock to friends. The body will be brought here from Appleton 
Monday and taken to the chapel at Evergreen where services will be 
held. 
Mr. and Mrs. Forest and their daughter, Miss Mayme, left for Appleton 
Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Davis and Mrs. 
Forrest suffered an attack of heart failure that caused death early 
today. 
Although not in robust health, Mrs. Forrest was not thought to be 
seriously ill and news of her death was unexpected. Mrs. Forrest, nee 
Esther Kress, was born at Welleboro, Pa., in 1845. Probably no more 
brilliant career promised than hers for she had won recognition as an 
author before she was twenty, but she was stricken with blindness and 
for more than two years was unable to see. She was married in 1870 to 
Mr. Forrest and the couple have resided here most of their married 
life. Mrs. Forrest was the mother of four children, three of whom with 
her husband survive, one son, Harry Forrest, having died at Indianapolis. 
Surviving children are James Forrest, of Tacoma, Wash., Mrs. Roy Davis, 
Appleton, and Miss Mayme Forrest of this city. Mrs. Forrest is also 
survived by one brother, Henry G. Kress of this city. 
In her youth Mrs. Forrest was one of the most popular young ladies in 
northern Pennsylvania, her splendid abilities being recognized in many 
activities. A large circle of friends will tender sympathy to the 
bereaved family.

WILHELM FRANKE

FATHER OF CITY TREASURER FRANKE DIES AT AGE OF 86
Wm. Franke, Pioneer Ship Carpenter of City Passes Away.  
William Franke, father of City Treasurer Henry Franke, and a resident 
of this city since 1865, being one of the pioneer ship carpenters of 
the city, died at his home, Division and Eleventh streets, last night, 
aged 86 years. Mr. Franke had been in failing health for some time and 
his advanced age contributed to his demise. 
Mr. Franke was born in Germany June 3, 1830 and come to Manitowoc in 
1865 and for many years was employed as a ship carpenter, retiring some 
years ago when age overtook him. Besides his aged widow, Mr. Franke is 
survived by eight children, Mrs. William Schroeder, Mrs. Fred Rockhoff, 
Mrs. Wm. Sampe, Mrs. Emil Hacker and Henry Franke, this city; Mr. Ernst 
Jahnke, Mrs. Bertha Tulp, Chicago and Emil Franke of Winnipeg.

AUGUSTA FRANSWAY

From Der Nord Westen, 02 July 1903:
Death from a stroke on Thurs. last week of Mrs. Frank Fransway, 
a former resident of our city, in Pikeshill, N.Y., where she 
was visiting. The deceased, (nee Auguste Rosinsky), was born in 
Manitowoc 35 yrs. ago but has been living for several years in 
Oshkosh. She is survived by her husband and 2 children and here 
in Manitowoc by her sorrowing father and a brother. The body was 
brought here and committed to the ground on Sunday.
*******
(Note: Since the ages don't match, I called the cemetery office and here is
what she said:
[The entry you have from the tombstone is on the same lot as the entry I have, 
so I have to assume they are the same person and that the tombstone is incorrect, 
since she probably didn't die the year after she was buried. The original burial 
register from 1903 says she is age 54 and that she died of apoplexy. There is no 
other information. She is buried on the same lot as Francis Fransway (1845-1910).
I am going to assume that she was born sometime between 1849 (based on age) and 
1852 (marker date), which would make sense since she would be a few years younger 
than Francis. The obituary sounds like it could be her, except for the age, so I 
am thinking there is a typo, maybe they transposed the age (35 instead of 53) or 
it should have been 55 instead of 35. I just looked in the Lot Diagram book for 
and I see that the lot was originally purchased by William Rosinsky and was paid 
for 6/3/1903. So now I definitely think it's her and there is just a typo in the 
obit./Augusta Fransway/bur. 06-28-1903/age 54 yrs./cause: apoplexy/lot purchased 
by William Rosinsky and was paid for 6/3/1903.]

JOHN FRANZ

From Der Nord Westen, 01 Oct. 1903: (Saturday dateline)
What has been long expected occurred yesterday with the death of John Franz 
whom we had reported as having suffered a stroke several weeks ago. One had 
hoped that Mr. Franz would overcome the illness and be returned to his former 
health, but that hope went unfulfilled as he grew weaker and weaker until his 
death yesterday (Friday). John Franz was one of the best known and eminent
residents of our county. He was born 15 Nov. 1832 in Hockelheim, Kreis Wetzlar, 
and after his marriage came to America in 1856, arriving in this county on 
02 July, and settled in Two Rivers. There he was employed in one of the several 
factories until 1864 when he lost an arm in an accident and had to give up his 
position. In 1865 the residents of Two Rivers elected Mr. Franz to the office 
of Village Treasurer, a position he filled for several years. In 1868 he was 
elected Registrar and moved to Manitowoc where he lived ever since. He filled 
that office until 1878 when he and his son established a land and loan office 
under the name Franz, Schmitz & Co. where he worked until his illness. Mr. Franz, 
who belonged to the Order of Odd Fellows and to the United Old Workers, is 
survived by his widow as well as 3 daughters –Mrs. Fritz Beeker, Mrs. A.J. Schmitz, 
and Mrs. Dr. W.G. Kemper, as well as numerous grandchildren. The above mentioned 
son died 8 yrs. ago. The funeral will be held Mon. afternoon at 2 p.m. from the 
funeral home at 917 Jay Street.
**********
From Der Nord Westen, 08 Oct. 1903:
The funeral of John Franz, whose passing we reported in our Sat. edition, was attended
by an extraordinarily large number of mourners, a testimonial to the esteem which the
deceased enjoyed in our city. Pastor Gray delivered the funeral oration. The German
Odd Fellows Lodge and the vocal groups “Freier Sängerbund” and “Concordia” gave last
honors to their departed brother. The rites of the Odd Fellow’s Order were observed at
graveside and the singing groups delivered a dirge. Among the immediate family
members attending the funeral was Mrs. John Mehl of Milwaukee, the deceased’s
only sister. Mr. Mehl is in Germany at this time and could not attend. We wish to add
to our biography of the deceased; he had also served for many years as a member of the
Democratic Congressional District Committees and of the State Central Committees.

JOHN FRANZ JR.

From Der Nord Westen, 19 Mar. 1896: 
Unanticipated sudden death early Sat. morning of John Franz, Jr., 
the only son of our prominent citizen, Mr. John Franz. The deceased 
had been ill for 4 weeks with rheumatic fever and although it is 
painful, it is seldom fatal. On the evening before his death he was 
feeling so well that it was hoped he would be fully recovered in a 
few days. During the night he was restless and about 10 o’clock, Dr. 
Kemper was called. After Dr. Kemper arrived, the young man’s temperature 
registered 107, then increased to 107-1/2, 108, and finally at 108-1/2 
degrees. The doctor summoned the family in anticipation of death, which 
occurred at 2 a.m. John Franz, Jr. was born in Two Rivers 25 Aug. 1861 
and came to Manitowoc when his father moved here following his election. 
After leaving school, he studied leather crafting with Mr. H. Schmiedecke 
here in Manitowoc, for whom he worked 4 yrs. He then went to Minnesota 
and worked for a year before returning here and working in the real estate
and insurance business that his father had established. The deceased was 
married to a daughter of Mr. Frank Zeman, a marriage that produced 2 
children – ages 7 and 9. He is also survived by three married sisters. 
The funeral took place Tues. afternoon with a long funeral procession.

GEORGE W. FRICKE

From Der Nord Westen, 07 Dec. 1899:
On Tues. last week George Fricke, the well-known brick maker, was working in 
the clay pit of his brickyard when a wall collapsed. Mr. Fricke quickly jumped 
out of the way to avoid being buried by the mass, but his leg was struck and 
broken. He was taken home and put under a doctor's care. The bone was set, 
bound and everything appeared to be going well until Mrs. Fricke noticed Wed. 
night that he was in his bed unconscious and breathing heavily. Efforts to 
revive him were fruitless. He remained unconscious until his death at 9 a.m. Sat. 
The doctors are of the opinion that his death followed an accumulation of blood 
around the brain. The deceased was born in Germany in 1842 and came to America in 
his youth, spending many years in our city. He leaves a widow and 5 children. The 
funeral was Tues.
********
CROSSED DIVIDING LINE.
George Fricke, Responds to Final Summons-Death at 9 a.m.
George Fricke, the well known brick maker, crossed the dark 
chasm and entered into the great unknown at 9 o'clock this 
morning. His death was entirely unexpected and will come as 
a shock to his many friends, who were not aware that his 
condition was alarming.
Several days ago Mr. Fricke, while at work at the brick-yard 
sustained the fracture of a limb by the caving in of a clay 
bank. He was removed to his home and a doctor summoned. The 
patient seemed to improve and suffered no pain whatever. Late 
Wednesday evening Mrs. Fricke noticed that her husband breathed 
heavily and with considerable effort. The attending physician 
was called, but it was found impossible to restore the patient 
to conciousness and after remaining in a stupor two days he 
answered the summons, breathing his last at 9 o'clock. 
Physicians are of the opinion that death was due to thrombus 
of the brain, a clogging of the blood vessels, in effect the 
same as appoplexy. It is not thought that Mr. Fricke sustained 
internal injuries in the accident of a few days ago, although 
the heavy breathing is thought to have been due to a thrombus 
of the lungs also.
Deceased was born in Germany in August 1842. He has been a 
resident of this city many years and had conducted the brick 
yard most of the time. He was a careful, conservative business 
man, quiet and unassuming and thoroughly honest and upright. 
A good husband and a kind father, he will be sadly missed by 
the widow and five children, four sons and one daughter, who 
survive him. The funeral will probably be held Tuesday 
afternoon.

Carl Frischmuth, who lives with his family on the corner of 15th and 
Division Streets, but who works for his brother who has a farm at the 
northern city limits, as usual went to the farm Monday morning. When 
he arrived at his brother’s house it was empty because everyone was 
working in the fields. Frischmuth has been sick for a while and 
occasionally suffers great pain so that life is often wearisome. He 
took a rifle from the wall and shot himself in the mouth. The bullet 
went through his head but didn’t kill him, so Frischmuth picked up a 
knife and tried to cut his throat. His brother, who heard the shot, 
came in to find his brother lying in his blood. Dr. Roberts was 
immediately called and other than stopping the bleeding there is little 
hope for his recovery. Frischmuth is 52 years old and has a wife and 4 
children. Upon regaining consciousness he said that his pain caused him 
to do the deed.

Church, Reedsville. The Rev. John Wendland will officiate and burial will
be in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.
Born April 18, 1877, at Wayside, Brown County, son of the late Frank and
Elizabeth Beattie Frosch, he began his business enterprise several years
before the turn of the century and a year before he married Emma Rader
at Sheboygan Falls June 7, 1899. The couple celebrated its 58th wedding
anniversary this year.
The store he launched at Wayside in 1898 throve and three years later a
similar business was established at Grimms. In addition to the hardware
store a grain elevator was erected and along with it a garage. When a
fire destroyed the hardware store and garage in 1930, only the hardware
business was re-established in an adjacent location.
At that time the Frosch Brothers partnership was dissolved. Frank Jr. had
been in business with him and previous to that their father had been 
associated in the enterprises.
Years before bottle gas stoves were available in rural areas, Mr. Frosch
sold coal and wood burning ranges. Not satisfied with this, he introduced
oil burning units which could be installed in existing stoves, and a 
number of years ago took over agency for a gas firm which made it possible
for him to sell an appliance he believed would help his rural friends live
with more comfort.
In addition to serving many years on the Town of Cato School Board he was
postmaster for more than 30 years, retiring in 1947 under the compulsory
age program. Five years later he retired from active participation in all
business and devoted his interests to gardening. He was a charter member
of the choir of the church at Reedsville.
Surviving are his wife, a son, Maitland, of Minneapolis, two daughters,
Mrs. Samuel M. Kuenzi, of Watertown, Wis., and Mrs. Francis Dietl of Manitowoc;
two sisters, Mrs. Walter Schlicker, of Detroit and Mrs. Alfred Halzer, of
Neptune Beach, Fla.; and a grandson. A sister and the brother with whom
he was a partner in the business preceded him in death.
Friends may call at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc, after 2 p.m.
Sunday until 10:30 a.m. Monday when the casket will be moved to the church,
where the body will lie in state until the hour of service.
