The funeral of John Kuhnle, yesterday afternoon, was the most largely attended, 
that has taken place in this city.  The firemen and sons of Hermann came out in 
full force; fifty carriages of all kinds, followed in procession.  The music on 
going out, was very solemn and impressive, but it was painful to hear it on its

MRS. L. KUNZ SUMMONED BY DEATH TODAY
Funeral Services Will Be Held from Home Thursday
Mrs. Mary Kunz, wife of Louis Kunz, 815 Marshall street, died at the Holy 
Family hospital at 1:4? this morning following an illness of several months. 
She was removed to the hospital about a month ago and underwent an operation 
for eye trouble. Death was due to a complication of diseases incident to old 
age. The funeral will be held from the family home at 2 o'clock Thursday 
afternoon and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
Mrs. Kunz was born at Cleveland, Ohio, March 26, 1856 and would have been 
sixty-nine at her next birthday. Strangely enough her family name before 
marriage was also Kunz and with her parents she came to Manitowoc as a child, 
receiving her education in the public schools here. She was married to Louis 
Kunz in this city November 28, 1876 and the family has since made its home 
here. Besides the husband she is survived by three children, George and Erwin 
Kunz of this city and Mrs. J.V. Aldrer of Wilmette, Ill. One sister, Mrs. O.B. 
Sonsthagen and five grandchildren also survive her.
Mrs. Kunz was essentially a home body, devoting her time to her home and her 
family but her pleasant manner and kindly disposition won for her a wide circle 
of friends to whom news of the death will come as a shock and with a distinct 
sense of a personal loss.
