GEORGE MESSMAN

G. MEESSMANN(sic) PASSES AWAY AT AGE OF 79
Well Known Insurance Man of City Asks That Cherished Medals Be Buried With Him
One of the oft expressed desires of George Meessmann, a veteran of the Franco-
Prussian war of 1870, that his medals, including an Iron Cross decoration from 
the Kaiser, be buried with him, will be complied with by his widow. Mr. Meessmann, 
stricken on Friday, after he completed the day's work in the insurance business 
which he conducted, passed away at midnight Saturday evening at the family home, 
809 South Sixteenth street.
Mr. Meessmann, who reached his seventy-ninth birthday on August 31, has been a 
resident of Manitowoc for close to forty years. In that time he followed the 
insurance business which he continued up to the very end. Although he was weakened 
two weeks ago by a heart attack he insisted on making his daily rounds about the 
city, but on Saturday he was unable to leave his room and failed rapidly until the 
end came at midnight.
Wounded in Franco-Prussian War
Born in Germany in 1850 the deceased spent his early manhood there. He was an 
officer in the German army, when the war between France and Germany broke out and 
went to the front with his unit. He served in the cavalry and in one of the battles 
he was shot from his horse by a rain of shot and shell from French batteries and 
lay wounded in the hospital for weeks. Years afterwards, when he came to Manitowoc 
these wounds, in the ankle and thigh, gave Mr. Meessmann much troube.
For his bravery in the Franco-Prussian war Mr. Meessmann was decorated with the 
Iron Cross by the Kaiser and also received other medals which he proudly cherished 
and which will be buried with him, at the funeral services, which will be held from 
the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with interment at Evergreen Cemetery.
After locating in Manitowoc, Mr. Meessmann was affiliated with the German Krueger 
Verein, an organization of German war veterans in Wisconsin. Mr. Meessmann was 
married, here in 1893 to Mrs. Bertha Schroeder of this city, who survives him, 
together with a widowed sister living in Germany.

ERNST MESSMANN

CHEATED STATE PRISON
Messmann makes a full Confession of his Crime to the Sheriff.
MESSMANN HANGS HIMSELF.
Confessed that he Killed Mr. Bahls With an Axe, and Mrs. Bahls 
with a Large Stone.-Robbery the Motive.
Ernst Messman (sic), who murdered Mr. and Mrs. Bahls at Mishicott 
Saturday night, Nov. 5, after protesting his innocence of the crime 
for a week, made a confession to Sheriff Muth, and yesterday hanged 
himself in his cell in the jail. Fear of being lynched, it is 
believed, was the cause of his act, as people of Mishicott had sworn 
that should he be proven guilty at his hearing, which had been set 
for Nov. 21, they would come here and kill him. He had been warned 
by the sheriff several times of this, and was told that in case he 
ever heard any noise and his name was called out, unless he was 
sure it was the sheriff or a deputy, he should make no response, 
as no one knew in which cell he was conficonned (sic).
MADE A CONFESSION LAST SATURDAY.
Messman (sic) made a full confession to sheriff Muth on Saturday 
last. This was undoubtedly caused by the refusal of the sheriff 
to allow his sister-in-law, to whose house he went after committing 
the crime, to see him. He was very careful in giving the time of 
his arrival at his brothers' house at Two Creeks on Nov. 5, and 
also in describing his actions while there. Messmann knew his brother 
and wife did not know what story he had told, and on the refusal of 
the sheriff to let his sister-in-law see him, when he undoubtedly 
would have related the same story to her, probably hinges the case 
of his confession. It seems that he reached his brother's house late 
that Saturday night without being seen or heard by them, and his 
arrival was not known until 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning, when one 
of his nephews, who had been at a dance, returned and found him in 
his bed.
Sheriff Muth tells of the confession made to him as follows:
Saturday night about 8 o'clock I went to Messmenn's (sic) cell to 
see if he was all right, and spoke to him saying, "Well, Ernst, 
your time and that of your sister-in-law, as to when you reached 
her house at Two Creeks, do not agree.'
Messmann replied: 'I don't know what you mean,' whereupon I said:
"I mean the time you say you reached your brother's house on Saturday 
evening."
"Messmann then replied: "I think that I am caught.
"Well, Ernst, whom did you kill first,' I asked.
"What do you mean, he replied.
"I then said: 'Old man Bahls and wife?"
"He thereupon made a full confession to me, talking in a cool and 
composed manner."
HIS STORY OF THE CRIME.
Sheriff Muth then repeated Messman's (sic) confession to him. It 
is substantially as follows:
"About 6 o'clock that Saturday evening I asked the old man to take 
me to the barn to sleep. As we reached the barn Mr. Bahl's walked 
in first and was probably five or six feet ahead of me. I noticed 
an axe standing in a corner, which I grabbed and hit him alongside 
of the head. He fell backward on the barn floor. I hit him several 
times afterwards with the axe as he lay on the floor. I then went 
back into the house and asked the old lady to come into the bedroom, 
that I wished to speak to her. As soon as she entered the room I 
picked up a large stone which was laying on the floor, which was used 
by them to keep the door open, and struck her on the head several 
times, killing her instantly.
"After I had killed both the old people, which I did for robbery, 
knowing thay had a lots of money, I went through the house, prying 
open the bureau drawers, but owing to a large crowd of people being 
at Mishicot that night, on account of a political meeting being held 
there, who were marching back and forth, I became frightened and ran 
out of the back door, crossed several lots and struck the main road 
and went to my brother's house at Two Creeks, where you found me."
"After making his confession," says the sheriff," he was very pale 
and seemed to be resigned to the fate which he knew would be in 
store for him."
FOUND DEAD IN HIS CELL.
The last time Messmann was seen alive was at about 9 o'clock Sunday 
morning, when Frank Muth, the sheriff's son, called to see if he was 
all right. He was then sitting on his bed smoking his pipe and seemed 
to be in good spirits. At 12 o'clock, when Frank Muth called to 
Messmann's dinner, upon opening the outer cell door he was horrified 
to see Messmann hanging on the grated door on the inside, dead, with 
eyes wide open.
Upon searching his cell it was learned that this was not his first 
attempt at suicide. A box of matches had been left with him, so that 
he could light his pipe. He had eaten all the sulphur off them, and 
had also attempted to take a rope off the windows, but was unsuccessful.
A long towel was used by him which he fastened at the top of the inner 
door by standing on an iron bucket and then kicked the bucket from 
under him.
Nearly all the food taken to him since his arrest was found under his 
bed tick, indicating that he had eaten but little.
FARMERS FEARED HIM.
Farmers who knew Messmann feared him, as he was regarded as a dangerous 
man.
He was a nervous disposition and very quick-tempered. While in these 
moods he made several attempts to do great harm to those who angered 
him. Some years ago he attempted to run a pitchfork through a man at 
Two Rivers. He served a short sentence in the county jail here for 
that offence.
Messmann's crime was one of the most atrocious ever committed in the 
state. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bahls had befriended him. They had employed 
him to work about their place, had given him lodging frequently and 
treated him as one of the family. Suspicion at once centered on him 
as the murderer and when he was arrested there were many threats of 
lynching. But his persistent denial of the crime, while it was not 
generally believed, raised an element of doubt in the minds of some. 
He minutely described all of his movements on the day preceding and the 
night of the murder. He insisted on his innocence and told his story in 
a straight-forward manner and without hesitation. Yet it was a lie in 
all its essential parts. He had carefully made it up. If he could have 
had an opportunity to see his relatives and if he could have induced 
them to verify it, it might have been difficult to convict him. He was 
not allowed, however, to see his brother or sister-in-law and they told 
a different story. He had not come to their house Saturday afternoon as 
he had claimed and his story therfore broke down. The sheriff told him 
this and the man weakened and confessed.
The following statement of Messmann made to our reporter shows that he 
had planned to prove an alibi. In relating his movements the two weeks 
previous to the murder he said: I called on Mr. and Mrs. Bahls about ten 
days before their murder, and had a pleasant visit, the old gentleman 
and I going to a neighboring saloon and drinking a glass of beer, after 
which I went to a tavern in the village and slept there during the night, 
the next morning going to my brother's house at Two Creeks, where I 
remained up to the Thursday previous to the murder. After leaving my 
brother's house on Thursday I went around among the farmers looking for 
work and arrived at the Bahls home on Friday evening about 5 o'clock. 
I slept there during Friday night, but not in the barn, as has been 
claimed. I slept with Mr. Bahls that night. In the bedroom were a single 
and double bed. Mr. Bahls and I slept in the double bed and Mrs. Bahls 
in the other. On Saturday I stayed indoors reading the papers until about 
2:30 p.m. I would have gone to my brother's before only it rained. On 
leaving the Bahls I bid them good-bye and we were on the best of terms.
"This is the last time I saw them. I went directly to my brother's house 
in Two Creeks and reached there about 6:30 Saturday evening, just in 
time to eat supper with my brother, who soon after I came reached home 
from his day's work. We spent a pleasant evening at my brother's house 
during the evening before retiring for the night. I slept that night 
with my nephew John, who is about 18 years old. On Sunday I did not 
leave the house until Sheriff Muth arrived and arrested me for the 
murder of the old couple.
"During my walk to my brother's I met or spoke to no one. I saw a buggy 
and wagon on a cross road, but could not say who was in it as it was 
getting dark."
When asked why, in his opinion, he was suspected of committing the crime, 
he said: "I suppose because I was there Friday night and Saturday and 
was the last person seen with them. If I had wanted to kill them I could 
have done it long ago, but Mr. Bahls and his wife were so good to me 
that I could not do such a thing, and if Mr. Bahls could speak now he 
would say that I was not the man who killed him. I never had any quarrels 
with them and they thought more of me than any hired man they ever had 
and always treated me like one of the family, as my brothers can testify."
Messmen's (sic) body was taken to Fraziers' undertaking establishment 
last night. No date has been set for the burial.

AUGUST MEYER  (d. 1930)

TAPS SOUNDED FOR CIVIL WAR VET
AUGUST MEYER DIES AT HOME HERE THURSDAY
93 Year Old Veteran Who Became Known Throughout Nation Passes As 
He Quietly Rests
Rapidly thinning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic were further 
depleted here yesterday at 2:15 o'clock when August J. Meyer, veteran 
of many hard fought battles of the Civil War, passed away as he rested 
in sleep.
The death of Mr. Meyer was as tranquil as the family life which he 
lived in Manitowoc for over 65 years. He had been about as usual up 
until Wednesday night when he complained of being tired and he retired 
early that evening. The following morning he remained in his bed 
although he was up on different occasions during the day. Shortly before 
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon he fell into a deep sleep and passed away 
shortly afterward with his wife a constant companion at his bedside.
One of Three Survivors
Death of Mr. Meyer leaves but two members of the Horace M. Walker Post 
of the G.A.R. surviving and breaks up a trio of veterans consisting of 
Mr. Meyer, Jacob Williams and Frank Braun who were cronies and who 
frequently met to discuss the thrilling events of the war in which they 
participated seventy years ago.
Born near Hamburg, Germany on November 23, 1836, Mr. Meyer was 93 years 
of age at the time of his death. He came to the United States and to 
Manitowoc the year before the Civil war broke out but finding it difficult 
to find work here he continued to Iowa where he enlisted with the outbreak 
of the Civil war in 1861. He served with the Union Army for three years 
before receiving his honorable discharge.
Returns to Manitowoc
Immediately following the conclusion of the war between the states, Mr. 
Meyer returned to Manitowoc where he took up his occupation as a carpenter, 
continuing in that and other lines of work until his retirement only a few 
years ago. Active beyond his years, Mr. Meyer was a familiar figure about 
the city and rode a bicycle until he was well past 80 years of age, 
desisting from that practice at the importunities of his family afer he 
had been run down and seriously injured by an automobile.
In recent years he has lived a retired life but continued to do the chores 
about the home, spading his own garden and taking care of the many flowers, 
the raising of which continued to be a hobby of his until the time of his 
death. At any time in recent years the visitor to the Meyer home may have 
found him seated in his comfortable chair in the kitchen where he discussed 
current and historical events with a keenness of mind of a man 50 years his 
junior.
Was nationally Known
Pictures of and the story of Mr. Meyer's life were sent throughout the nation 
last year as efforts were made to learn the identity of the oldest Civil war 
veteran-youngest child combinatin in the country. At that time he posed for 
a number of newspaper photographers who took photos of him on the occasion 
of his 93rd birthday, the picutes showing him with his 17-year-old daughter, 
Margaret, a graduate of the Lincoln high school with the class of 1929 and 
at present a student at the University of Wisconsin.
Leaves Wife, Daughter
Mr. Meyer was married to Miss Bertha Jauger in 1866, his wife passing away a 
number of years ago. In 1908 he married Mrs. Marie Tegen and his widow with 
one daughter, Margaret, a student at Madison, and several stepchildren survive 
him. He was the last of the Meyer family in this country and leaves no immediate 
survivors other than the widow and the one child.
Military Funeral
Full military honors will be accorded to Mr. Meyer at the funeral services to 
be held at the family home, 912 S. Tenth street, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. 
Services will be in charge of the Women's Relief Corps with Rev. D.C. Ristad 
officiating for the burial rites. Interment will take place at Evergreen.

FREDERICK THEO MEYER  (d. 1917)

3 YEAR OLD BOY BADLY INJURED BY AUTO THIS MORNING
Little Son of Herman Meyer is Run Down at Cleveland Avenue 
and Eighth Streets
Run down by a Ford truck at Cleveland avenue and Eighth street this 
morning, Freddie, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Meyer 
of Cleveland avenue, was taken to the hospital where an operation upon 
the child may save the boy from serious consequences of the accident. 
The extent of the boy’s injuries could not be stated by physicians this 
afternoon. The child was thrown under the car which did not pass over 
his body. He sustained a dent in the skull from which concussion is 
feared and was severely bruised, ?  being cut in his cheek, his ear 
being badly lacerated and partially torn from the head and ? lacerated 
from contact with the teeth. 
The machine which struck the boy was owned by the Esch Sons company 
being one of the delivery trucks of the company. The child was picked 
up by the driver and taken to the offices of Dr. Gleason where the 
injuries were temporarily dressed and the boy was later removed to 
the hospital for attention. The accident happened at the turn of the 
street at Cleveland avenue and Eighth street where the traction line 
runs to Two Rivers. The Esch car was coming from the boulevard and 
just as it reached the corner, two children who were pulling a small 
wagon in which the Meyer child was seated, started to cross the street 
ahead of the automobile. The approach of the car frightened the children 
who were pulling the wagon and they dropped the handle and started to 
run leaving the boy and the wagon in the roadway to be struck by the 
automobile. Boy and wagon were caught under the car.

Death in Holy Family Hospital on Friday of Miss Ida Meyer, daughter of
August Meyer here. Miss Meyer was brought to the hospital about 10 days
before her death in order to undergo an appendicitis operation. The 
operation was successful and the patient appeared to rally, but she grew 
weaker and weaker day by day until death overtook her on Friday. Miss 
Meyer was born in Manitowoc 28 years ago and has spend most of her life 
here. Most recently she was a bookkeeper in the office of Mr. Esch. Several 
weeks ago her mother died and her sorrow may have contributed to her lack 
of recovery from the operation. Mr. August Meyer has been deeply affected 
by the loss of wife and daughter in so short a time. The funeral was held 
Tuesday afternoon.
