FRED HINRICHS From Der Nord Westen, 21 July 1904: There was general sorrow in our city on Sun. when news arrived of the death of Fritz Hinrichs. As is generally known, Mr. Hinrichs had a foot terribly mutilated several years ago in a hunting accident. Doctors recommended an amputation of the big toe, following which the wound still failed to heal so 2 more toes had to be amputated. The wound still wouldn’t heal and as a result of the last operation, Mr. Hinrichs had to be cared for in the local Holy Family Hospital and the doctors recommended a complete amputation. Mr. Hinrichs went to Milwaukee to consult specialists who also expressed the opinion that a full amputation was necessary, so he underwent the operation Thurs. morning in Passavant Hospital in Milwaukee. It appeared that the patient was saved, but death intervened Sun. morning. Fritz Hinrichs was born 53 yrs. ago in Esens, East-Friesland. After leaving school he studied pharmacy and served in the military as a one-year volunteer in France where he then worked for several years in a large perfume store. In 1878 he came to America as a representative of that company. He lived in several states and in the winter of 1882-83 came to Manitowoc and began working in the drugstore of his brother, Henry Hinrichs. Since then he remained a resident of Manitowoc. He was widely known as a capable pharmacist. During Pres. Cleveland’s 2nd term, he filled the office of Duty Collector in the local port. He was a member of the local Free Mason’s Lodge and of the Order of the Royal League. He is survived by his sorrowing mother, 4 brothers, 3 sisters and 2 step-sisters. Of the 4 brothers, 3 are residents in America, namely Henry here, Theodor in Baltimore, and Wilhelm in Milwaukee. Another brother who had lived in St. Paul died last winter.

BENJAMIN F. HOES Died-At the residence of his brother, in Manitowoc, on the 30th of July, 1859, B. Franklin Hoes, aged 20 years and 7 months. The funeral of Mr. Hoes took place last Sunday afternoon, at St. James Church. The Services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Cooper, and Rev. Mr. Pierpont, and Sermon by Rev. Mr. Stanley, of the First Presbyterian Society. The members of the Masonic Order, (of which Mr. Hoes was a member in good standing,) took charge of the last remains of him, who, in this life, was loved and repsected by all, and had them interred with ture(?) Masonic honors. By his death, the Lodge mourns an earnest, faithful, highly esteemed, and accomplished brother, and society one of its worthiest citizens. How oft has this departed brother sought the altar with those kind and true ones, who do there congregate, to worship Masonically-and where the heart and the land grows warm-where the strife of the cold world without, for place and power is forgotten, and where eye meets eye in love and true devotion. His ear now deaf, had drank in that heaven-born music, and interpreted the faint whisper; his eye now dim, has beheld, and his heart, now still, has conceived the beauties which await the faithful. Then how blest the thought, that there is a rest for this beloved one beyond the tomb-a seat made vacant for him in that Celestial Lodge. Perhaps there are some dear ones, a father, a mother, a brother, or a sister, whose hearts are now breaking with sorrow, for him who now sleeps on yonder hill. Then let us tread lightly, for how blest must be the consolation to them, to know, that although he might have died far from home, and in a strange land, a brother's ear caught his last whisper, a brother's hand smoothed his dying pillow, and closed those eyes in their last sleep, a sleep that knows no waking this side of the tomb. The Manitowoc Pilot, Manitowoc, Wis. Friday, August 5, 1859 P. 3 ********* In its appropriate place in today's paper will be found the announcement of the death of Mr. B.F. Hoes, who died in this village on Saturday last. The deceased was but twenty-nine years of age-just in that period of life when the mind and body has become matured, and the man be best suited for useful and vigorous exertions. He was a resident of Manitowoc a little over three years, and during that time seems to have made a universally good impression, and we cannot hear of one in the community who does not speak with regret of his loss. He seems to have possessed the warm affection and esteem of his friends and intimate associates, to a high degree-the respect of all-the ill will of no one. And this universal sentiment of kindness and good feeling which followed poor Frank to his last resting place on earth, and was evinced by the large attendance of sympathising friends at the funeral services, was not the result of mere negative good nature, and an absence of energy and positive qualities in his character; but was, on the contrary, due to the active virtues, the strong sense of justice, the ever present kindliness of a disposition which, whatever its defects, they seem to have been lost sight of in the presence of so many noble and attractive traits of character. Peace to his ashes! One who has led so pure and blameless a life on earth need have no fear to face the future; and when we, too, pass away from this world of strife and enmity, we ask no better tribute to our memory than that which public sentiment has accorded to Frank. Surely it seems true of him- "None knew him but to love him- None named him but to praise." The Manitowoc Pilot, Manitowoc, Wis. Friday August 5, 1859 P. 2 ******* B.F.

Immediately after the war a state road was ordered laid out between Kiel and Manitowoc, W. Bach, A. Krieger and P. P. Fuessenich acting as commissioners and another from Manitowoc, to Taychedah, via Kiel, H. F. Belitz being one of the incorporators. It was failure of the latter project that caused the incorporation of a private company in 1870, the Manitowoc and Kiel Plankroad Company by J. Schuette, T. Windiate, R. H. Hoes, H. Berners, C. Gustaveson, S. Samuelson, A. Schad and E. B. Treat, with a capital stock of $30,000. The days of plank roads and private enterprises were soon over, however, and one by one these were incorporated by county or township, both these units now having full charge and maintenance of all the thoroughfares of the county. The Kiel and Sheboygan turnpike was the last to be made free, the event occurring in 1900." 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS - MTWC CITY WARD #1: 37 22 278 285 R.H.

JOSEPH C. HOLLY JOSEPH HOLLY, SHOTO MILLWRIGHT, LOSES LIFE WHILE SEEKING TO PROTECT DAM FROM ICE JAM EARLY TODAY BODY CARRIED UNDER ICE AND THROUGH GATES HAS NOT BEEN RECOVERD. One death, considerable property damage from floods, a blackade of the Soo tracks ??? of the city caused by a landslide, flooded cellar, and street, these are some of the effects of the heavy rain which has prevailed for more than twenty four hours and which early this morning took on the appearance of a cloudburst. Joseph Holly, millwright and owner of the Neshoto mill, lost his life there this morning when he fell or was knocked into the river by a piece of ice. Up to a late hour this afternoon the body had not been recovered. With Michael Schimmel and another man Mr. Holly was engaged in cutting ice about the dam in order to open the gates to prevent a recurrence of the damage a year ago when the dam was completely washed out and a loss of $3,000 ocrasioned (sic) during an ice jam. Mr. Holly, in attempting to raise the gates lost his balance or was struck by a chunk of floating ice, and fell into the water, the body being carried under the ice and through the gates of the dam. With the weight of a heavy coat and other clothing which he wore Mr. Holly was unable to save himself and men working with him could not reach him in time to render aid. The tragedy created much excitement at Neshoto and in this city where Mr. Holly was well known, being a visitor in the city almost daily. Mr. Holly was 48 years of age and had been engaged in the milling business at Neshoto for many years. He was widely known throughout the county and the news of his death and the circumstances surrounding it will be greatly deplored. Besides a widow Mr. Holly is survived by three children. A year ago the Holly mill sustained a heavy loss ??? reason of the dam going out and the floods caused by the ice jam, it being said that the damage totaled more than $3,000. With the strong current that is caused in the river by the heavy rains and ice, it is feared that the body of the unfortunate man has been carried far from the spot where he lost his life and that it may be some time before it is recovered. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, January 27, 1916 P.1 ********* BODY OF HOLLY IS NOT RECOVERED, SEARCH IS RENEWED HIGH WATER FORCES ABANDONMENT OF SEARCH FOR BODY OF SHOTO MILLER YESTERDAY AFTER-NOON. MAY NOT RECOVER IT The body of Joseph Holly, the Neshoto miller, whi (sic) lost his life while trying to protect the dam from being carried out by an ice jam yesterday, has not been recovered and little hope is entertained that the body will be found for some time. It is feared that the body has been carried far from the place where Holly lost his life and that owing to the ice and current it may not be found until spring, if ever. High water forced the abandonment of the search for the body yesterday afternoon, making it impossible for those engaged in the search to continue the work. However just as soon as it is possible to do so the search will be resumed in hope that by some chance the body may not have been carried away by the current and can be recoverd. News of the tragic death of Mr. Holly occasioned widespread regret and aroused a wave of sympathy for the stricken family. Mr. Holly was one of the few millers of the county who had continued in the business and had been successful and though a year ago he sustained a heavy loss when the dam was wrecked by an ice jam and much other damage to his property resulted, Mr. Holly had owned and operated the mill at Shoto for many years. The failure of searchers to recover the body adds to the tragedy of Mr. Holly's death and the sorrow of family and friends. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 28, 1916 P.1 ******** RESUME SEARCH FOR BODY OF JOS. HOLLY Twenty-five searchers today resumed efforts to recover the body of Joseph Holly, the Shoto miller who lost his life while engaged in an effort to protect the dam from ice jams. Owing to the high water the search had to be abandoned Saturday but it was again taken this morning. There seems to be little hope that the body will [be] recovered at this time, though the search is being diligently prosecuted. The greatest sympathy is extended to Mrs. Holly and the bereaved family whose sorrow is intensified by falure (sic) to recover the body. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, January 31, 1916 P.4 ******** EXTRA! FIND BODY OF JOS. HOLLY AT NESHOTO The body of Joseph Holly, the Shoto miller, who lost his life several weeks ago when he fell from the dam ???? trying to protect it from the ???? was found late today ??? cu???? of a mile from the spot where the accident occurred. The body was in a fair state of preservation and was taken to the home to be prepared for burial. The body had become lodged in the ice at the point where it was found.

The body of Mr. Holly was recovered by Fred Jachimstahl and Edward Bishop late yesterday after a search which had started early in the morning and in which the two men had followed the river as far as Two Rivers. Returning, one on each side of the river, dragging with a hook, they found the body about one-half mile from Neshoto in two feet of water only a short distance from the shore and half covered by sand. No marks were on the body and it was in good state and was taken into the boat and carried to the home where it later it was prepared for burial. Mr. Jachimstahl said today that the body was found at a spot where no one would have expected it to be. The recovery of the body of Mr. Holly is comforting to the family and to friends.

ALEX HOLM EXTRA! 6 YEAR OLD BOY DROWNED IN RIVER TODAY Body Recovered and Effort Made to Save With Pulmotor Playing on the dock at the foot of North Sixth street at 3 o’clock this afternoon, Alex Holm, 6-year-old son of John Holm, 602 Commercial street, fell from the dock into the river and was drowned. The body was recovered fifteen minutes later by Officers Dueno, Christiansen and Carls and Drs. Meany, Donahue and Roberts are at work in an effort to revive the boy by use of the pulmotor. Repeated warning to children to remain away from the dock have been unheeded though oft times they have been driven away. Children with the Holm boy witnessed the accident today but instead of notifying the Hall warehouse to secure aid, ran a block to the home to summon the mother. The police were notified and recovered the body about ten feet from the dock. After working over the boy for nearly an hour physicians gave up and pronounced the child dead. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, June 16, 1915, Page 1 *********** POISON IN WATER CAUSED LAD’S DEATH Pulmotor Might Have Saved Lad but for This That sewage which contaminated the water was primarily responsible for the death of Alex Holm, the six year old boy who fell into the river yesterday it believed by physicians who say that the pulmotor should have been effective in reviving the boy who was in the water but a few minutes, 15 at the most. However, there was no response when the machine was used and after working over the child for an hour, hope was abandoned. At the point where the boy’s body was found the water is contaminated by discharge from sewers leading into the river. The body of the boy was taken to the home and the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.

MARIAN HOLMES From Der Nord Westen, 12 May 1904: Death Tues. last week in Freeport, Illinois, of Mrs. Mary Holmes, daughter of Anton Selch here, at age 23. The body was brought here and buried in the city cemetery.
MEAD HOLMES, JR. Death of Mead Holmes Jr. Our community was startled yesterday with the intelligence of the sudden death of Sergeant Mead Holmes, Jr. The sad intelligence fell with crushing weight upon those who knew his moral worth and manly principle; and everywhere in the vicinity his loss is deeply deplored. Ardent, generous and truthful; at the age when adolescence is verging into manhood prime; with christian principle firmly engrafted upon the elements of a noble soul, he was just the kind of man to realize the requirements of the great cause of Human Liberty, and the struggle for a Constitutional Government; and though surrounded by the comforts of a home and friends who almost idolized him; the only son of loving parents; he left a good situation and enlisted in the 21st Wisconsin volunteers, sharing their hardships, and doing his duty in a manner which secured the respect of his comrades and the confidence of his officers even in that glorious regiment were all have done so well. The best evidence of the patriotism of this brave hearted and noble minded boy is the fact that he has for years been suffering from periodical attacks of organic disease, yet when he heard the call of the President, he stepped into the ranks to the music of "Three hundred thousand more," not in the spirit of bravado which so many exhibit under such circumstances, but quietly and manfully, under the stern pressure of a consciousness of duty to his country, and fidelity to his God. He braved the dangers on the battle fields of Perryville and Murfreesboro, and met the perils which always surround the soldier in an enemy's country, with cool courage and christian fortitude. He was promoted for general good conduct, receiving a sergeant's warrant but a few days before his death. Educated, energetic, industrious, with high toned principles and irreproachable habits, his death is a loss to the community, but more so to the service which needs the support of just such men. More than one of our readers have perused the stirring letters from the 21st regiment signed M.H., which have from time to time appeared in the columns of our paper, but some of them will require to be told that they were the production of the subject of this sketch. A short time since, by special arrangement he became connected with the Tribune as one of its regular correspondents, and though the demands upon his time were such that he was unable to furnish us weekly letters direct, he gave directions by which we were able to secure extracts from his private correspondence with his friends, and thus kept up the connection to the date of his death. From his letter in last week's issue, we quote the following sublime passage: "S-M- died in Italy. How much I would prefer to bleach on the battle field, slain in my country's cause, than to die in Naples, away from my native land in this hour of her peril when my strength, money and influence are so much needed." Noble sentiment!-worthy to be recorded among the dying expressions of patriots and philanthropists. He fell dead at the camp fire while thinking over the loving words which he desired to commit to paper for the perusal of the loved ones at home; but his death upon the battle field could not have been more glorious, for his life was a sacrifice to his sense of duty. Mr. Holmes was Sup't of the Sabbath School of the 1st Pres. Church, and while acting in that capacity, was faithful and earnest in his efforts to build up a model school; and the institution is one which will be an enduring monument of his perseverance and unselfish devotion to the ca?so of right. We need not ask our citizens to show every respect to the remains of the brave young citizen soldier, for all are eager to show their appreciation of his worth, and their sympathy with the mourning friends.
