EMILY KEMPER From the Manitowoc Herald, 26 Jan 1860: Emily Kemper died, the daughter of Louis and Louisa Kemper.
LOUIS KEMPER "Louis Kemper died on Wednesday (April 13, 1898). (don't have name of paper) He was born Dec.17th, 1825 in Lippi Detwold, the son of a forest officer. He came to Milwaukee in 1849, where he was married shortly after, when the couple moved to Two Rivers where he was employed by his brother in-law Chas. Kuehn as clerk. Having been elected sheriff in 1858 he moved to Manitowoc, and at the expiration of his term opened a store in the Alter building. After a number of years he closed out his store to go into the fire insurance business which he continued up to the time of his death. He leaves his wife, three children - Mrs. C. C. Ertz, Mrs. Fred Schuette and Dr. Kemper, as chief mourners, also many friends who will keenly feel the loss of a most sociable, entertaining, out spoken manly and honest companion. The funeral will take place on Saturday at 2 p.m. Mr. Kemper's life was such that more than formal notice of his death is justified. He was a man of dignified appearance, but it was the dignity of nature. He admired honesty and independence in men and one could easily judge this by the intimacy of his relations with people. His close friends were men of sterling worth. He was not demonstrative but when occasion required it he spoke--as he always acted--from the depth of his convictions. Inflexible in purpose when he thought he was in the right, he cast no disparagement upon opinions differing from his. He was one of these sturdy men who give the character of firmness to a community without the element of prejudice, a man whose silent influence was always on the side of right conduct."

MATHIAS KETTENHOFFEN From Der Nord Westen, 17 Jan. 1907: Another one of our county’s old settlers is gone. Mathias Kettenhofen, a Manitowoc citizen known throughout the county and beyond its borders, closed his eyes in the final sleep Thursday evening. Mr. Kettenhofen was born 02 April 1825 in Helfant, Kreis Saarburg, Bezirk Trier, as the son of a school teacher. With his brother Andreas he came to America in 1854. Both landed in Canada, worked there a while in constructing a railroad, then came to Wisconsin and worked on farms in Racine County and later in Manitowoc County, saving enough money that they soon were able to buy their own farm. Mathias Kettenhofen soon sold his share to his brother and took a position as clerk in the store of Charles King in Neshoto. Later, in 1860, he married Miss Johanna Engeldinger and established a hotel in Neshoto which he operated for 3 years. At the same time he became Postmaster of Neshoto and a Justice of the Peace. In 1863 he moved to Manitowoc and took over operation of Williams House. When it burned down in 1866 he built Northwestern House. In 1894 he sold the hotel to F.C. Borcherdt who continues to operate it under the name of Victoria Hotel. In 1899 he and his wife took a trip to Germany where both of their childhood cities were visited as well as their relatives. Upon returning, he withdrew from business and he and his wife went to live with the Hermann Schmitz family… Mr. Kettenhofen, who to our knowledge had never been ill, last summer came down with a bladder illness. At age 82 he was unable to regain his health despite the best attention. He grew weaker and weaker until his death Thursday evening. His death was without pain and he was conscious until the end. The deceased enjoyed the highest esteem in Manitowoc and surroundings, and although his death was not unanticipated, it was met with general sadness. Mr. Kettenhofen leaves his widow and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Herman Schmitz. He also is survived by his wife’s younger sister as well as his brother Andreas, who lives in Racine County, and 2 brothers who still live in Germany.

JOHN KILLEN 1833-1894 John Killen of Cato died in St. Petersburg, Florida on the 21st inst., from a stroke of paralysis received the day preceding his death. He had gone to Florida for the benefit of his health, which for the past few years has been failing. He had experienced good results from having spent the winter preceding in that state, and sought relief there again this winter. He was born near Edinburgh, Scotland in 1833, and removed with his parents to Waukegan, Ill., when about five years old. When about 16 years of age, his father and mother died. At that time he had hardly any educational advantages, and at once commenced to earn a living as a sailor on Lake Michigan in summer and as lumberman on both shores of same in winter, and continued in these occupations until about the 1856, when he located a homestead in the town of Mishicott, this county. In the fall of the same year he was married to Miss Alice Markham, sister of Governor Markham, and commenced his married life on wild land, heavily timbered, where he was found hard at work endeavoring to make for himself and family a home when the war of the rebellion broke out. Soon after he enlisted in the 32nd Wisconsin Infantry, and served in same until the close of the war, when he returned to his home, broken in health, in consequence of which he sold his farm and commenced in a small way the mercantile business at Cato, Wisconsin where he built up quite a large business. Soon after going to Cato he buried his wife, and afterwards married Miss Tenah Wederman. He leaves a widow with a son and daughter, and two sons and a daughter by his first wife. He was well known in Grand Army circles, and was a member of that organization at the time of his death. John Killen was a man of sturdy independence, large business capacity and loyalty to his friends. He was a good judge of men, and while not demonstrative in his friendships, they were strong. No man ever questioned his integrity and where he reposed confidence it was complete and without reservation. A straight line was always the direction his effort took toward the accomplishment of an object. This directness at times, geve him the appearance of brusqueness, but it likewise gave him the confidence of those with whom he did business. He knew the right with intuitive quickness and always acted in consonance with his perceptions. His death will be a loss to Cato where he had established so many industries which contributed to the prosperity of the surrounding country. There lived no better citizen than John Killen. From the Manitowoc Pilot, January 25, 1894 *********** Death of John Killen An Old Resident of Manitowoc County Dies in Florida Manitowoc Wis., Jan. 24.- A telegram reached here today from St. Petersburg, Fla., announcing the death by paralysis of John Killen of Cato, this county. He had been in the South in the hopes of regaining his health when he was suddenly stricken down. The body will be brought home for burial. Mr. Killen was one of the staunch and prosperous citizens of Manitowoc county, and his accumulation of friends has kept fully apace with his accumulation of wealth. He was among the first to volunteer his services at the outbreak of the rebellion and among the last to return after the victory was won. He was 64 years of age and leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter. The funeral will take place from his residence at Cato on Saturday next at 10 A.M., under the auspices of the Grand Army.

GERALDINE M. KIPPING Geraldine (Geri) Marie Kipping, age 78, of Sand Bay, Sturgeon Bay, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2007, with her children at her side. Geri was born Sept. 23, 1928, in Door County, the daughter of Milbert and Anita (Wiesner) Lautenbach. She graduated from Sturgeon Bay High School with the class of 1946. Geri married Gerald Kipping on Oct. 21, 1950. They resided in Manitowoc until retiring to their Sand Bay property in 1985. Geri and Kipp owned and operated Peterson Sheet Metal in Manitowoc from 1965 until retirement. (Survivors omitted for privacy) Preceding her in death were her parents, husband, brother and sister-in-law: Lloyd (Jeanette) Lautenbach. She will be sadly missed by the Sand Bay cottage dwellers, the Monday Merkle regulars, and all those she touched throughout the years. Geri lived life to the fullest, and while raising her children, she managed to be a scout leader for both the boy and girl scouts as well as a Tri-Hi-Y leader for high school age girls, Band Mothers Association, and Altar Society. She worked as "Ma" Kipping at Woodrow Wilson Jr. High School as a lunchroom monitor. After moving back to Door County, Geri became a cook for Holiday House North summer camp for many years. Geraldine bartended Mondays at Merkle's Saloon until May 2006, where she made many new friends but also ran into past high school chums. Geri was never one to sit around and always had a project in the works — whether it was sewing sweatshirts for everyone to making Packer snowmen or wallpapering or painting for others. Her get-up-and-go spirit was contagious; she had no enemies. Being non-judgmental, with an easy going spirit, she truly was an example of a life fulfilled. Her legacy: her door was always open, literally.

The deceased was a daughter of the Mr. Hermann Lindemann from the Township of Eaton.”—interpretation by Emilie B. Lindemann (Comment: The obituary of Auguste Klug née Lindemann does not scarcely mention her by name. It was as if the weekly newspaper in which published this notice reported…what’s with all of the commotion in town? It was the funeral yesterday— the church bells tolled 23 times for Auguste Klug—then the procession left First German Ev. Lutheran Church and headed up to big hill, to bury her remains at Evergreen Cemetery. What’s more, her father brought the family via horse and carriage to town, all of the way from the Township of Liberty where they have lived for the past year) (sent in by researcher/see contributors page)

WILHELMINE (OCHS) KLUG Gestorben. Frau Wilhelmine Klug, geb. Ochs, die Gattin des Herrn Albert Klug, 26. und Wollmer Strasse wohnhaft, wurde am Samstag plötzlich aus dem Leben abberufen. Sie war schon seit längerer Zeit an einem Herzleiden erkrankt, doch war sie nie an das Bett gesesselt, und niemand hatte geahut, dass augenblicklich Todesgefahr vorhanden sei. Am Samstag Nachmittag, als sie mit ihrem dreijährigen Söhnschen allein zuhause war, brach sie plötzlich zusammen und stürzte zu Boden. Glücklicherweise wurde sie hier bald gefunden und wurde ärztliche Hülfe gerufen, doch vergeblich, denn wenige Stunden später gab sie ihren Geist auf. Frau Klug war geboren am 25. Oktober 1867 in Mishicott; ihr Alter bertug also 37 Jahre und nahezu 10 Monate. Sie hinterlässt einen trauernden Gatten und fünf Kinder: Emma, Eduard, Walter, Elsa und Georg. Das Begräbniss fand am Dienstag unter Leitung des Herrn Past. Machmüller auf dem Evergreen Friedhofe statt. Den hinterbliebenen unser Beileid.

On Saturday afternoon she was with her three year old son alone home, she suddenly collapsed to the ground.

However, he continued to report for work at his place of employment, Rahr’s Brewery. Over the period of a week he grew steadily sicker and ultimately was confined to his bed where he died on Monday. Mr. Knaak was 41 yrs. old and is survived by his widow, his mother, and one daughter. The funeral will take place this afternoon at the Lutheran Church. ******** [cause: inf. of the bowels & La Grippe]

HANS TIM KNICKRIEHM From Der Nord Westen, 22 Apr. 1880: Death of 80-year old Hans Tim Knickriehm on Mon. in the home of his son John Knickriehm. Burial took place yesterday. ********* (Note: From cemetery: All the Burial Register says is Old Mr. Knikrehm. Slightly off to the side is written a mystery letter than John or Jahn lot. John Knickriehm owns lot E2-93-1 (which is the spelling you have in the obit). Buried on the lot are John Knickrehm (11/29/1911), Child of J. Knickrehm (12/30/1865), and Marie Knickrehm (11/12/1934). I'm thinking Knickriehm is probably the correct spelling, and Hans is probably on the lot, because it was purchased before his death, but I can't be sure.
