ANTONIA GUTTMAN Mrs. Antonia Guttman, Resident for 75 Years, Is Summoned Mrs. Guttmann (sic) Called Another pioneer resident of the city whose life had spanned ninety-one years, seventy-five of which had been spent in Manitowoc county, was called when death came to Mrs. Antonia, widow of Herman Guttmann, at her home 1106 South Eighth street early this morning. Mrs. Guttmann, despite her advanced age, had enjoyed fair health up to two weeks ago when the decline which ended in death today set in, the sands of life running out with scarce a warning of the dissolution as she went to sleep. Funeral services for Mrs. Guttmann will be held from the home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev. Paul Lewis officiating, with burial at Evergreen. Mrs. Guttmann, born Antonia Bertram, was born at Neustaadt, Germany, July 16, 1835 and came to America a girl of 16. Two years later, at Two Rivers she was married to Herman Guttmann who in early days conducted a saddlery and harness shop on the site of what is now the Wernecke & Meeker millinery. Mr. Guttmann died in 1895 and Mrs. Guttmann is survived by seven children of the marriage, Mrs. Gustave Alter, Mrs. Charles Fechter, William and Albert Guttmann, this city; Dr. Paul Guttmann, of Kellnersville, Gustave Guttmann, of Minneapolis and Herman Guttmann of Mankato, Minn. Eleven grandchildren and two great grand- children also survive. Mrs. Guttmann was devoted to her family and friends and her declining years were made happy by a wealth of love that was showered upon her by them.

Passenger on Wrecked Train About sixteen years ago Mrs. Guttman, who was then a teacher, made a trip west with a group of Wisconsin educators and was a passenger on the steamer Columia when it was wrecked in a Pacific coast storm. She was rescued but a companion, Miss Francis Schroeder of Two Rivers lost her life and she is said never to have fully recovered from that experience as her nerves were shattered. Mrs. Guttman was active in social work and had made for herself a wide circle of friends to whom news of death will cause keen regret. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.
