Was 78 Years Old Mr. Luebke had not been seriously ill and had been at his store all day Saturday and Sunday evening and visited with George Schuette at Mr. Schuette's rooms until 7 o'clock. He was in the habit of retiring early and it is presumed that the stroke came early Sunday night after his return to his rooms. Despite his age of 78, Mr. Luebke was active and in apparent health, although recently he had told friends that he had not been feeling as well as usual. However, there was no indication that he was failing and his death came as a shock to the city. Born in Germany Born in Germany, Mr. Luebke came to Manitowoc many years ago and was employed in the old Haukohl shoe store and twenty-five years ago took over the business and had since been identified with it. In 1911 he formed a partnership with E.J. Kellner and the store had been in the Wood block since that time. In 1923 Mr. Luebke dispersed of his interest in the firm to Mr. Kellner under a contract that the firm name was not to be changed during his life time and that he was to be continued in the employ of Mr. Kellner for life. Mr. Luebke was born June 26, 1848 in Germany. So far as known he has no relatives in the United States, but members of the family reside in Germany and South America. During his residence here he had been active in German singing societies and was a member of several organizations in which he found his chief interest. He had formed friendships in his early life here which he retained and although of a retiring and quiet disposition he was widely known because of his business associations. The body of Mr. Luebke was taken to the Frazier & Shimek undertaking rooms. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.

Mr. Luebke was never married, according to the report received here and his parents have been dead for many years. A brother and two sisters are also dead but both have children living. The letter gives the following detained information regarding the Luebke family. Brothers and sisters: Fritz Luebke, at Wulfsahl, who is dead, leaving two daughters, one married and residing in Hamburg and the other unmarried and present whereabouts unknown. Christian Luebke, my client, who is conducting a railway restaurant in Parchium. Ludwig Luebke, retired, residing at Ploen. Heinrich Luebke, quary officer at Hamburg.

One sister of the deceased, Mrs. Sophi Timm, died at Hamburg, leaving no children. Advise Consul of Suit The German counsul at Chicago has been advised of the letter rceived from Germany and of the filing of a claim of $3,310 against the estate by Edward Kellner, of this city. Mr. Kellner's claim was filed following an inspection of the firm's books. According to a partnership agreement drawn up the amount of salary of each partner was specified and it appears from the records that Mr. Luebke drew various sums in addition to the amount agreed upon. Mr. Kellner seeks to recover half of that amount. In additon he seeks to recover approxiamtely half of the entire estate on the presumption that the accumulation was realized from profits taken from the business. The claim will be contested, it is said, and whether Mr. Kellner will be able to prove his contention remains to be seen. Further action in the matter awaits word from the consul at Chicago. Attorney Harry Kelley is handling the estate in his capacity as public administrator. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.

HENRY LUECHS From Der Nord Westen, 15 Nov. 1906: A severely injured man, whose name has been given variously as Henry Roch or Henry Lueh, was brought here from Clarks Mills on Tuesday morning and admitted to Holy Family Hospital. He was unconscious and unable to speak, but it is said that he has been working as a house painter in Clarks Mills for some time. Most recently he was working on the store of Anton Denk's in Clarks Mills, giving it a new coat of paint. He also lived there. He went up to his quarters Monday evening about 9:30, which is in the upper part of the building, but later was found bloody and unconscious lying at the foot of the steps. (Much editorial speculation concerning the possible cause.) When examined by the doctors it was found that he had a fractured skull and a broken cheekbone…. ********* From Der Nord Westen, 22 Nov. 1906: Henry Rotch, the house painter about whom we reported last week as being taken to the hospital from Clarks Mills with a fractured skull and cheekbone, has died of his injuries. Before his death he regained consciousness and told Dr. Luhmann that in the pitch dark he had fallen down the stairs, thus all speculation was ended. Because Rotch could not name any relative, his body was buried at the expense of the county. ********* [Buried in Potters Field (free)] ********* (Note: In consultation with the Evergreen cem. office, it was determined this is the person in the obituary)

ANNA E.C. LUEPS / LUPS From Der Nord Westen, 08 Apr. 1909: Wide sorrow greeted the news Monday afternoon that Miss Anna Lueps had died. Miss Lueps was born 06 February 1860, daughter of the late Jacob Lueps, one of the earliest pioneers of Manitowoc. She attended the local schools and when she was grown worked several years as a teacher here and in Kiel. She suffered with a slow illness for a long time and made a trip to Germany last year to consult with specialists, but even those doctors were unable to help her, so she came back to her hometown. A short while ago the illness took a downturn… and her pain eventually was so great that one must consider her death as a release. Miss Lueps was an active and faithful member of Cilo Club and of the Ladies Aid Society. She is survived by a brother, Wm. G. Lueps, Asst. Inland Revenue Collector here, and 3 sisters –Misses Clausine and Johanne here, and Mrs. Heins in Wittenberg, Wisconsin.

The decedent was a woman whose many kind deeds and charity were well known though she was unostentatious in her giving and those who knew her best will mourn her as a loved one.

She was a member of the Clio Club and of the Ladies Aid society and was active in the work of both. A year ago Miss Leups visited Europe remaining abroad for several months.

WILLIAM G. LUEPS William Lueps Well Known Resident Dies PROMINENT IN POLITICS AND LOCAL AFFAIRS Lover of Horses; Imported First Holsteins And As Pigeon Fancier Won Many Prizes Here And In the State William G. Lueps, 80, (Photo) lifelong resident of Manitowoc, former government internal revenue collector, attorney, collector, and county official, died Saturday evening at the home, 863 North Tenth street. He had been in failing health since last March when he injured his leg in a fall on a slippery walk. Managing the estate of his father, the late Jacob Lueps for years, the deceased took an active interest in horses and blooded stock. He gained the distinction of being the first to introduce blooded Holstein-Friesian cattle into Manitowoc county in the '80's. Funeral services for Mr. Lueps will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home, with interment at Evergreen cemetery. Born in Manitowoc, August 14, 1853, the son of the late Jacob and Katherine Lueps, the deceased spent his entire life in this city. Educated in the local schools he entered Lawrence college, at Appleton and after graduating from there took up the study of law in the law offices of H.G. and Will Turner in this city. Later he was admitted to the bar. Gives Up The Law Death of Jacob Lueps, father of the deceased in 1876 threw the burden of administering the Lueps estate of over 200 acres, located just west of the city limits back of the present Holy Family hospital, on the shoulders of William Lueps. He developed this property by the addition of more land along the river and gave up all thought of law practice to take charge of the estate. It was in the late eighties that Mr. Lueps was told by a friend of the supremacy of Holstein-Friesian cattle and journeyed to northern Illinois where he purchased some of the blooded stock and brought them back to Manitwooc county. It was the first of this breed of cattle to be brought here. Mr. Lueps was also a great lover of horses and owned a large stable and in addition was a pigeon fancier and showed his birds at many county shows. Held County Offices For years Mr. Lueps represented the town of Manitowoc in several town offices and was also elected chairman of the town, serving for a number of terms on the county board of supervisors. He also took a great interest in the county fair and for many years served on the fair board. In 1898 he was appointed to the post of government internal revenue collector in Manitowoc and during the years that he held the post maintained offices in the postoffice here. In later years he engaged in the insurance and collection business which he continued until a few months ago. Politically Mr. Lueps was always a republican and was prominent in county conferences of that party in the long span of years that he was active in public life. He was also one of the early members of the Freier Saengerbund singing society and was prominent in the participation of the golden jubilee of that pioneer singing group a number of years ago. He was also a member of the Royal League. Surviving Family The deceased was married in 1883 to Miss Pauline Krieger of Kiel, who survives him with two sons, Edward of Milwaukee and Otto of this city, a daughter Edna, city, and two sisters, Miss Johanna Leups, city and Mrs. W.G.

FREDERICK S. LUHMAN DR. LUHMAN, CIVIC LEADER, PHYSICIAN FOR COUNTY, DIES Dies at 82 Of A Stroke After Long Service; Funeral Friday Dr. Frederick S. Luhman, 82, (photo) who began the practice of medicine in Manitowoc in 1880, and who enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest active official of Manitowoc county in point of service, died of a stroke Tuesday night at his home, 1013 South Eighth street. He was stricken at his home Monday morning and died without regaining conscousness. Despite more than four score years, Dr. Luhman, who for over 35 years was county physician and who during his long practice here also served eight terms as county coroner, continued the active practice of medicine. He insisted on "staying in the harness" and made daily calls on patients in whose families he had been the attending physician for half a century or more. The passing of Dr. Luhman last night ended an active community life that began when he was a boy of 15 years when he took up the teaching of the district school in the town of Newton. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Rush Medical college and a post graduate of the best medical schools in Vienna, Austria, Dr. Luhman located in this city in 1880, became one of the county's leading practitioners. Funeral Friday He served on the board of the school distrct that erected and had charge of the old First Ward school in the days of the district school system in Manitowoc. Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the home, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which the deceased was a member, almost since reaching his majority. Rev. Wm. Hood will officiate and interment will be at Evergreen cemetery. The Elks lodge, of which Dr. Luhman was a life member, will also be represented at the services. Frederick S. Luhman was born May 25, 1851, at Franklin, Sheboygan county, and when a boy in his teens was pressed into service to teach the district schools in the town of Newton. He had barely passed his fifteenth birthday at that time. Later he attended Ripon college for two years, and still later entered the University of Wisconsin, from which he graduated in 1875. He next enrolled in Rush Medical college at Chicago, being graduated and given a diploma for the practice of medicine in 1877. Went to Europe After practicing for a year at Two Rivers, Dr. Luhman was married in this city to Miss Magdalene Simon. They left for Europe where Dr. Luhman took post graduate work in the medical schools in Vienna, remaining there for two years. After being graduated there he returned to Manitowoc where in 1880 he established himself in the practice of medicine. He continured that practice over a span of 52 years without interruption. Dr. Luhman took up his first duties as a county official fifty years ago this month, in January, 1883. He was elected coroner in the fall of 1882 and assumed office the next year. He was chosen coroner for seven successive terms, 14 years. Then he retired but in 1898 he was again named coroner for another term. Retiring from this office Dr. Luhman was selected by the county board of supervisors to serve as county physician, and he continued to fill this office year after year, being renamed without opposition by the county board. In still later years he was also chosen the physician at the county asylum and only gave up this post last year. Golden Wedding The deceased served several terms as a member of the school board of the south side school district under the old district system of schools here. During the World War Dr. Luhman served as medical examiner for the draft board. For years he served as examining (Continued on page 11) (Continued from page 1) physician for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company, the Metropolitan, Prudential and a number of other old line life insurance companies. Four years ago Dr. and Mrs. Luhman observed their golden wedding anniversary with a gathering of their children and hosts of friends at their South Eighth street home, and were looking forward to the 55th anniversary which they had hoped to celebrate this coming summer. Besides his widow, Dr. Luhman is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Elsa Zeniner, and Mrs. Elmer Bleser, both of this city, and two son, Dr. Frederich W. Luhman of Bender, Nebraska, and Attorney Hugo F. Luhman of Yakima, Wash, one sister, Miss Emma Luhman of Los Angeles, Cal., three brothers, Otto of Seattle, Wash., Henry of Fostville, Iowa, and Theodore of Los Angeles, Cal., six grandchildren and two great grand- children also survive. Manitowoc Herald Times, Wednesday, January 11, 1933 P.1 ********* What threatened to be a serious accident was narrowly averted at Eleventh and Washington streets, yesterday, one block from the already famous Death Crossing, when a city street car crashed into the buggy of Dr. Luhman from the rear. Dr. Luhman was proceeding west on Washington street when, in order to avoid material left in the street by workmen on the Mikado theatre, he turned onto the car track. The car was right upon the rig and although Joseph Giemer, the motorman, reversed the motor, it struck the vehicle and tossed it from the track. The buggy narrowly escaped being overturned, but fortunately no damage was done. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, January 5, 1916 P.3 ******** [bur. 01-13-1933/age 81 yrs/cause: apoplexy]

CHARLES LULING From Der Nord Westen, 30 June 1892: Death on Sat. evening after a long illness, of Mr. Charles Luling of Manitowoc. He was born 06 Oct. 1830 in Minden, Westphalia, and came to America in 1849. He settled for a while in Chicago, then other sites in the State of Illinois, eventually settling in Fox Lake, Wisconsin, where he married Miss Stark in 1856. In 1859 he came to Manitowoc and was employed in the store of the Barnes Bros. In 1865, the First National Bank was organized here, and he was taken on as cashier, a position he held until his death. After the death of his first wife, he married again in 1865 to Miss Mitchell with whom he had a happy life until her death in Feb. of this year. (The article describes his activity as a political activist, including mayor of Manitowoc.) In the recent past he suffered substantial pain from cancer, and so one must consider his death as a release. “Manitowoc has lost a fine citizen in the death of Mr. Luling”. The funeral procession took place on Tuesday with a very large attendance.

He was educated in the schools of Manitowoc and at the University of Wisconsin, where he graduated in 1888. For years he was associated with a coal company located in this city and thereafter spent some years as a partner in a large wholesale grocery house at Decatur, Illinois. The business burned out and he came to Manitwooc, where for some time he managed the Manitowoc Mattress Company until that company was bought out by the Dixie Cotton Felt Mattress Company of Chicago and New York. Mr. Luling went to Chicago at that time and assumed charge of the sales department, later being elected secretary of the company.
