LOUIS SCHIRMEYER TWO RIVERS MAN, MISSING A MONTH, FOUND, A SUICIDE BODY OF LOUIS SCHEIRMEIER(sic) FOUND IN WOODS MILE FROM CITY WITH BULLET HOLE IN BRAIN LAST NIGHT SUICIDE HAD SOUGHT SECLUDED SPOT FOR DEED Missing since Sept. 24 when he left his home, presumably to go to his work, but on which day he told friends he was to visit Sheboygan, Louis Schermeier(sic), a Two Rivers man, was found dead in a grave at Higgins’ park, a mile from Two Rivers late last night, a suicide. Indications are that the man committed suicide on the day that he disappeared as the body was in a state of decomposition. Discovery of the body was made by William Leubke, of Two Rivers, while passing through the park which is near the baseball grounds. Leubke, who was exercising a hunting dog and had been tramping the woods, noticed a hat on a stump in a thicket in the woods and upon investigation found the dead body of Schermeier. Schermeier had evidently planned his death and had selected a spot where the body would be least likely to be found, the thicket at the point being rather dense. The man had removed his hat and placed it on a stump and had then carefully placed his glasses on the hat. Seating himself, with his body resting against a log he had fired a bullet into his brain, a wound in the temple showing where the fatal shot had entered. The police department was notified by Leubke of his gruesome find and Chief Schroeder took charge of the body and notified District Attorney Schmitz. The body was in a bad state of decomposition but was identified by relatives. District Atty. Schmitz investigated and decided that no inquest was necessary as the case was clearly one of suicide. When the body was first taken charge of by the officers it was impossible to determine the cause of death as though the wound in the temple indicated that Schermeier had been shot, no gun was found. When the body was moved, however, the gun, which had been under the hand which was covered by leaves, was found. All five chambers of the weapon were loaded, one shell having been exploded. Schermeier had been employed at the plant of the Hamilton Mfg. Co. at Two Rivers and it is said that no cause is known for his suicide as he had given no intimation of contemplating ending his life. His health had not been the best, however, and this may have prompted the deed. A widow and one child residing at Two Rivers, survive Schermeier who was well known here, his wife having been a former Miss Schmidtman. Some years ago she conducted a confectionary store on South Tenth but after marriage made her home at Two Rivers. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, October 20, 1915, Page 1 ********** SUICIDE FOUND IN WOODS The body of Louis Schirmeier(sic), a workman, was found in the woods near Lake Shore Base Ball Park last Tuesday. Mr. Wm. Luebke, who was out exercising his hunting dog, discovered the man's hat and glasses on a stump and upon investigation found his body nearby in a dense thicket. A revolver with one empty chamber was found near the body. The chief of police of this city was at once notified and he went to the scene and took charge of the body. A bullet hole in the temple was ample evidence that Schirmeier had committed suicide and no inquest was held. Mr. Schirmeier had been missing from his home since September 28th and a search was being made for him. It was thought that he had gone to some other city to seek employment or to visit with relatives, but no trace of him could be found. The body was badly decomposed and was an awful sight. Ill health is thought to have been the motive for the deed. Mr. Schirmeier was employed at the Hamilton plant. He is survived by a wife and one child. The funeral was held on Wednesday at Manitowoc.

(FRIEDRICH) ALBERT SCHMIDT From Der Nord Westen, 09 Feb. 1899: We must report that Albert Schmidt, whose illness we had mentioned in previous editions, died Sat. afternoon from his pneumonia. Friedrich Albert Schmidt was born 31 July 1844 in Otterwisch, Thuringia, the son of Pastor Carl Ludwig Schmidt and wife Adelheid. His father died when Albert was 13 years old. After the boy had outgrown his home schooling he enrolled in the Thomas Institute in Leipzig and received a solid education. After leaving school he learned the trade of a cabinetmaker, a trade which he followed many years. In 1866 he came to America, stayed a while in Washington and then took work in Milwaukee. Later he spent a good deal of time in Michigan and in 1870 came to Manitowoc where he has remained ever since. He served as clerk in the business of J.A. Koehler about 15 years until Mr. Koehler gave up that business. Schmidt opened an inn called "Zum Rathskeller" which he operated until his death. In 1884 he made a trip to Germany to visit his mother just once more. That mother died last year. He felt unwell for quite sometime, then Wed. was stricken with pneumonia, went to the hospital where he died. Mr. Schmidt was a trustworthy man in every sense of the word and it can be said that he went to his grave with a soul without fault. The "Freie Sängerbund", of which the deceased had been an active member, accompanied his body to the grave on Tues. afternoon. Mr. Schmidt left his sister Mrs. Alvin Lange and her family, a brother in Germany, as well as his many sorrowing friends. He was not married. ******** SHADOW OF DEATH. Many Homes Saddened By the Visitation of the Destroyer. After a short illness Albert Schmidt died at the home of his sister, Mrs. A. Lange, corner of Franklin and Main streets Saturday. About a week ago he was taken suddenly ill at his retail liquor store on South Eighth street and was obliged to go home. He grew steadily worse and the illness developed into an attack of pneumonia. Everything that loving care and medical skill could suggest was done for the sufferer, but it was useless and he quietly passed from the scenes of earth at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Deceased was born in Germany, July 31, 1844, and came to Wisconsin in 1866, locating at Richfield. He remained there until 1868 and then removed to Milwaukee. For two years he was a resident of the Cream city and in 1870 decided to come to this city. He opened a retail liquor store and conducted the busines up to the time of his death. He had never married and the only relatives surviving him are a sister, Mrs. A. Lange, of this city and a brother, Joseph Schmidt, a resident of Porter, Germany. He was a man highly respected for his integrity and honesty, generous to a fault, he numbered his friends by the score and will be sadly missed by many who where indebted to him for acts of kindness. The funeral will be held from the residence of A. Lange, Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., and will be conducted by H. Falge. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, February 6, 1899 P.1 ******* BENEATH THE SOD.
