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 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.

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.

Romelda Agnes Lukes, age 94, a resident of Manitowoc, was born into eternal life 
on Sunday, February 16, 2014.

on the Feast of the Guardian Angels to Clara (Schuler) and Theodore Kautzer in 
the town of Eaton. She attended grade school at St. Gregory's Catholic School, St. 
Nazianz, and graduated from Valders High School in 1938. Romelda fine-tuned her

and grandmother. She had a real zest for life, a sunny attitude, and was forever young 
in looks and thoughts. Rommie had a kind and gentle heart, and friends were very 
precious to her. Vacations throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe 
added to her interest in world affairs. Her dedication to making her home a loving 
place included baking the best cookies this side of Germany, and preparing scrumptious 
soup to serve an army! Rommie also was an avid Brewers and Packers fan. She enjoyed 
playing sheepshead, deciphering word puzzles, reading, cooking and baking, dancing, 
knitting and sewing. Many of the clothes Rommie wore reflected her creative talents. 
Her lovely flower/vegetable garden was a delight for the many birds she fed. Romelda's 
deep faith was expressed through her ministry within her parish. As a member of the 
former Holy Innocents Church, she was a Eucharistic Minister, a lector and a greeter, 
and an active and faithful member of the Christian Women's Organization. She was 
presently a member of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, and belonged to the St. Clare 
Women's Society. Other involvement in the community included the Manitowoc Senior 
Center, and Daughters of Isabella. Romelda worked at the Manitowoc County Fair as a

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.

CHARLES LULING DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME IN CHICAGO
Former Resident of City Stricken in His Sleep, a Victim of Heart 
Failure - Body to be Brought Here for Burial
Charles M. Luling, formerly a resident of this city, died at his 
home at Chicago, suddenly early today. Few details are known at the 
present time. His wife was awakened by an apparent struggle on his 
part which she thought was a nightmare. She called E.L. Nash, who 
is visiting here, but Mr. Luling did not regain consciousness and 
was dead almost immediately. Messages received here brought the 
said (sic) tidings. 
Mr. Luling was born August 24, 1868. 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.
He was married on October 6, 1915, to Miss Virginia Arter of Greensburg, 
Pennsylvania.
Besides his widow he leaves surviving him three sisters; Mrs. E.G. Nash, 
Mrs. Calla W. Endress and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Guyles, all residents of 
this city. The burial will probably be in this city, though definite 
plans as to that have not yet been made.

MARY LULING

On Mon. Mrs. Luling, wife of our fellow citizen Charles Luling, suffered a
stroke, the aftermath of which suggests that death is near.
Der Nord Westen, 11 Feb. 1892
******
From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years ago (1892)
Mrs. Charles Luling of this city died on Sunday morning, having the week 
previously received a stroke of paralysis from which she never rallied. 
She had been in poor health for some time before her death, though a fatal 
termination was not looked for until the paralytic stroke had hope vain. 
She was born at Brest, New York, December 26, 1837 and was married to Charles 
Luling October 26, 1864. She was a woman devoted to her family and it was 
only in the domestic circle that her genuine worth shone in its full luster. 
Her home impressed the visitor with its warmth of welcome and the devotion 
of husband and children was a tribute to excellence which invested the wife 
and mother with a wealth which made worldly good appear poor in contrast. 
Devoted to her church, her sympathies took wider range and she was honored 
and loved by all. Few women had more to make life sweet in the way of devotion 
and affection which knew no restraint and which were reciprocated with all 
the fervor of their offering. There was a genialty about the surroundings of 
the homestead which was a reflection of the happiness and content which dwelled 
therein. Sympathy flows out of the stricken family in its unstinted measure as 
it has in the past from them when sorrow darkened the home of friends and 
neighbors.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, Feb. 15, 1917

Mrs. Luling, whose stroke we reported on last week, died last Sun. morning.
She was born 26 Dec. 1837 in Brest, State of New York, and married Charles

Eimmerman and other members of the train crew carried Lutzke into a 
baggage car. The train was met at Calumet Yards here by the railroad 
physician but Lutzke was pronounced dead.
Lutzke was driving east to look after two snow plows which had been stuck 
while clearing highways of snow. According to the railroad company and 
others the corssing was comparatively clear of snow and Lutzke's vision 
was not obstructed by deep drifts. The truck was completely smashed in the 
crash. Lutzke had visited the stranded plows earlier in the day, having 
walked to them in the morning, and was evidently returning to checkup on 
the progress made during the afternoon.
Lutzke had been in the employe of the county highway department for the 
past 14 years. For the past three years he was patrol superintendent. He 
is survived by his widow, who collapsed when the body of her husband was 
taken from the train Saturday, a daughter and three sons.

Notes from Osman:
Otto Lutzke of Liberty met with an awful accident last Saturday while they were 
threshing at Herman Ibe's that is Otto's old home, the late Fred Lutzke's place. 
Otto was running a threshing machine this fall and when he was trying to put on 
a belt while the machine was running his left arm got caught and was whirled 
around the pulley and was just mangled before the machine could be stopped. He 
was rushed in an automobile to Dr. Gregory's hospital at Valders and Dr. Naught 
of Kiel and Dr. Minahan of St. Nazianz were called. After their arrival a 
consultation was held and the doctors agreed that they arm would have to be 
amputated. Dr. Naught performed the operation. The arm was taken off close to 
the shoulder. Mr. Lutzke is getting along as well as could be expected. He is 
about 27 years of age and has a wife and one child. He was living on his brother 
Robert's farm which he rented last spring for a term of years. The unfortunate 
man has the sympathy of all in his great misfortune.

CHARLES W. LYON

The friends of Charley Lyon(sic) will regret to learn that he is dangerously 
ill with the Typhoid fever. For two years past Charley has kept the books of 
this establishment, and in fact, has represented a one-third interest in the 
firm. Hard study and close application to business with insufficient exercise 
have brought him down but at this writing we have hopes of his ultimate 
recovery. He has been sick two weeks and we miss him very much.
Manitowoc Tribune  Thursday, February 11, 1869  pg. 4
********
DIED:
On the morning of the 16th of Typhus fever, Charles W. only son of Walter and 
Huldah L. Lyon, aged 19 years 2 months and 7 days.
It is with sorrowful hearts that we record the death of a member of our firm, 
a young man just stepping over the threshold of life, but he is gone and we 
would write of his manly qualities as a slight tribute of respect and affection-
-the last we can ever pay him--in return for the numberless acts of kindness 
towards us.
Charles W. Lyon was born at Port Washington in this State, December 9th, 1849. 
He early exhibited a desire for books, and gave evidence of a powerful mind. 
Sent to school he acquired knowledge rapidly and became a good scholar. He came 
to Manitowoc with his father's family during the summer of 1858, and attended 
school here until sometime in the summer of 1865. That he made Excellent use 
of his time we have had ample evidence during the past two years. Leaving school 
he went into the Telegraph office and became a very fair operator in a few months, 
but our business increasing it necessary to employ a book-keeper and clerk. 
Charles entered on the duties of the situation, January 1st, 1866. At the end 
of the year 1866 so faithful and well had he performed his arduous duties that 
he became a member of the firm, representing a one third interest. If he had done 
well before he now did much better. Early and late he was found at his labor. He 
seemed to take delight in nothing so well as hard work. His friends fearing that 
he would make himself sick by such unceasing application remonstrated with him 
wholly but in vain. During the whole year of 1867 he did not lose a day's time 
from any cause. Not satisfied with doing well, he sought to excel all, and taking 
up the study of Phonography during leisure hours, he followed it through all its 
tortuous winding ways, until with practice he would have become an excellent short 
hand reporter. As a proof reader he was a success. Often when the editors were 
busy, or for any reason unable to attend to this difficult part of their duties 
he tendered his services and rendered satisfactory assistance. In his deal he was 
strictly honest and exact, sure to get every farthing due him, and yet unwilling 
under any circumstances to take that which belonged to another.
Thus we have briefly sketched the line of duty which our partner followed; it 
remains to sketch him as our companion and friend. But how can we perform the sad 
task? We mourn for him as for an own brother, and while tears dim our eyes and 
choking grief would fain find utterance, how can the hand write out the thoughts 
which fill the throbbing brain? "Tis a difficult work and yet it must be done. 
Young Lyon was a very reticent, unassuming, modest boy. It was next to impossible 
for a stranger to get an extended opinion from him on any subject, so much did he 
distrust his own powers, and for this reason he never appeared well in public, but 
to those who knew him best he was the embodiment of all that is good and true in 
man. We were a full year in getting a just estimate of his character, and perhaps 
had we known him even better than we did we could have averted the sad fate which 
has befallen him. He preferred his work to play, and blind to the fact that disease 
was fastening its hold on his young vitals we did not use all our influence to make 
him exercise in the open air; which as, we see now, was just as essential to his 
growth and physical development as to the forest oak. When he did play, however, 
it was with spirit; only four weeks ago we saw him tire out two strong skates, one 
after the other, and still be asserted he was not weary. But even then, probably, 
the fatal fever with insidious fire was coursing through his veins. He finally, 
three weeks ago, complained a little, and one morning he did not come to his work. 
How strange it seemed not to have Charley here, and how irksome were the duties 
which he had performed so quietly. Alas we were to learn to do without him altogether, 
and forever in this world. It is a bitter lesson, but one that is often learned. 
Charley has been a member of the Presbyterian Sabbath School in this place for many 
years, and seldom indeed has he been absent. For some months past he has acted as 
Librarian, in which capacity he won the good opinion of all connected with the school, 
which will miss him now. Socially he had but few personal friends as he was just at 
that age when young men are backward, but he had an exceedingly large circle of 
acquaintance, and among all those who knew him we do not think he had a single enemy, 
and we never heard an ill word spoken of him in all the time we have known him. As 
is the case with most young men who give all their time to some useful occupation he 
had no bad habits of any kin, he sought to be a gentleman, and in the eyes of the 
community he succeeded admirable. His last illness came on very gradually. The first 
week we did not apprehend anything serious, and looked each day to see him better. 
He did not complain of any pain but lost his appetite entirely, and gradually was 
found to have a fever. One morning we called in and found him in a raving delirium. 
From that hour until his death, about a week's time, we do not think he was possessed 
of his right mind a moment, or at least sufficiently so to realize his terrible 
condition. He suffered intensely and only yielded up his strength when human endurance 
could bear the pain no longer. A few moments before he breathed his last the writer 
hereof spoke to him, as he seemed easier, calling him by name, but it was of no avail, 
he had done with this earth, and shortly after his breathing became more faint, and 
he quietly went to rest; a slight shudder was all that told us that Charley was no 
more.
The funeral was held at the residence of his father on Wednesday afternoon. A large 
concourse of citizens assembled, a few brief, but well timed remarks, a fervent prayer, 
a last, final, lingering look and all that remained of our dear boy was borne away by 
those who had known him in life, to be placed in his narrow home, where no pain 
invades, no sickness ever come, and even Death can do no more.
We cannot close this article without in the name of the afflicted family, and in our 
own behalf, returning heartfelt thanks to those kind friends whose sympathy and 
efficient aid were so sadly needed, so freely tendered in this hour of deep affliction. 
God grant that when it shall be yours to lie down in the cold embrace of Death that you 
may have no lack of loving hands to smooth your dying pillow, nor gentle fingers to 
close your eyes in their last, long, quiet sleep.
