CARL SCHAEFER    (d. 1918)

KILLED IN FALL FROM WINDOW
Carl Schaefer fell from a window at the county asylum while trying 
to get out of his room Monday night and was killed. Mr. Schaefer, 
who was 82 years of age had been in failing health for a long time 
and his mind had become afflicted. His aged wife is ill and it was 
found impossible to care for him at home and he was sent to the 
hospital and later removed to the asylum where he was given a room 
on the second floor. The windows were protected by a screen, both 
inside and out, it having been said that Mr. Schaefer had a penchant 
for opening windows. Shortly after 2 o'clock Tuesday morning 
attendants discovered Mr. Schaefer was not in his room and upon 
investigating found that he had forced the screen and attempted to 
escape by using a bed sheet as a rope. But he fell to the ground and 
as stated above, was killed.
He was born in Germany and came to this country when a boy. He was an 
old resident of this city and was engaged in the tailoring business 
for many years. He was a Civil War Veteran. He is survived by his wife 
and one daughter, Miss Emma Schaefer.

61 YEARS A TAILOR
Carl Schaffer(sic), Who Passes 75th Milestone Today, In Business Long time
Carl Schaffer, one of the city's best known pioneers, today passed the 75th 
milestone in life's journey and has rounded out sixty-one years in his profession 
as a tailor, a record equaled by few men in the city in any line of business. Mr. 
Schaffer, despite his years is in excellent health and spirits and is actively 
engaged in his work. He came to Manitowoc first in '62 but did not remain having 
enlisted for service in the army and it was not until 1865 that he permanently 
located here and he has been a resident since. Mr. Schaffer conducts a tailoring 
shop on No. 11th Street where he owns his home. He has been prominent as a member 
of the Odd Fellows and other organizations and enjoys the respect and esteem of 
all who know him. Here's hoping he may live to reach the century mark.
