JOSEPH KAISER KAISER, WELL KNOWN MUSIC TEACHER, DIES Was Leading Figure In Country Music Circles For Many Years Prof. Joseph Kaiser, 73, a leading figure in county music circles for the past 50 years, died at his home, 1023 Chicago street, Friday afternoon. He suffered heart attach about 3 p.m. and died before the arrival of a physician. Coming here 50 years ago with renown as a concert violinist and having already directed the Minneapolis orchestra, he started giving private music lessons and continued doing so until a few years ago when he became director of the Manitowoc Concert orchestra, which was disbanded about a year ago. Many musicians in the county received their training under Prof. Kaiser, who also gave piano lessons and instructions in harmony. His pupils came from all over the county and he went to Two Rivers and other places to give lessons. Funeral Services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home with the Rev. C. H. Phipps officiating. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. Prof. Kaiser was born Bingen-on-the-Rhine in 1869. His musical education started when he was a boy and when his parents moved to Darmstadt he became a pupil of Miroslaw Weber, famous violinist who was concertmaster at the Court Opera. He often appeared in concerts there and later entered the conservatory at Frankfurt, continuing to Mayence from there. At the age of 19 he became a teacher at the conservatory at Mayence and connected with the Opera. Before he was 21 he came to the United States and maintained a studio in Minneapolis where he also directed the orchestra and often appeared in concerts. After a few years he was induced to come Manitowoc where he remained. Many piano and violin compositions were credited to him and he arranged nearly 100 compositions for string quintets. Among his activities here in addition to his private lessons was the direction of the Manitowoc Freier Seangerbund for several years. When the Manitowoc Concert Orchestra was formed several years ago through cooperation of federal agencies, he was named the director. This organization was composed of some of the best musicians in the county and rehearsed and gave concerts almost daily. With this job he had to drop the giving private lessons, and he did not resume after the orchestra was disbanded. About 37 years ago he married Miss Libby Barta, who survives with two sons, Joseph Jr., and Corp. Fred Kaiser who is stationed in New Jersey.
