HANS M. SCOVE From Der Nord Westen, 28 Mar. 1889: Death on Fri. morning, after a long illness, one of the most widely known businessmen in our city, Mr. Hans Scove. He was a ship builder whose name was known all across the lakes. Countless steam and sail ships still sail giving witness to his skill in shipbuilding. Manitowoc has lost a good citizen and energetic contributor to the well being of our city. Mr. Scove was born in 1837 in Denmark and came to America at age 18. In Long Island, he learned shipbuilding and followed it there many years. During the war he served in the "Commodore Perry Flotilla". He was married in 1865 and leaves 5 children. His burial took place on Sun. afternoon with an extraordinary number of mourners attending. ****** Two Danes, Jasper Hanson and Hans M. Scove, established a shipyard in Manitowoc and built a number of vessels in the period 1870-1889, but the carpenters and mechanics who were building these vessels were nearly all Norwegians. One of these was Julius Johnson, foreman and expert spar maker in the Hanson and Scove shipyard. He was a graduate of a navigation school in Norway, and after the panic of 1873 had created hard times for the shipbuilding industry, he was placed in command of the schooner "John Schuette," which he sailed for his employers, taking a cargo of deals from Manitowoc to England. He sailed the vessel back to Wilmington, North Carolina, where he left it, and then returned to Manitowoc. As told elsewhere Captain William Lund of Milwaukee went to Wilmington and took charge of the vessel after Captain Johnson?s return. After sailing it to Riga, Russia, and other places, he finally brought it back to Chicago in September, 1879. The vessel was built by Hanson and Scove at their shipyard at Two Rivers, Wisconsin, where they were located before 1873. Another Norwegian in the employ of Hanson and Scove was Captain Christen Olson, born at Grimstad, Norway, in 1830. He came to America in 1854, settling in Manitowoc, where he served as shipbuilder, and later as superintendent in the Hanson and Scove shipyard. He was part owner of the schooner " Industry" and of the scow " Success." He married Miss Maren Findahl, a sister of Mrs. O. Torrison of Manitowoc. The following vessels were built at the Hanson and Scove yards: {88} 1871 schooner "K. L. Bruce" 34 tons capacity 1871 schooner "L. Meeker" 312 tons capacity 1871 schooner "C. Neilson" 315 tons capacity 1871 schooner "W. Keller" 263 tons capacity 1872 schooner "M. A. Muir" 347 tons capacity 1872 schooner "T. H. Howland" 299 tons capacity 1872 schooner "M. L. Higgie" 310 tons capacity 1873 schooner "Falmouth" 234 tons capacity 1873 schooner "H. M. Scove" 305 tons capacity After 1873 they had their yard for some years at Two Rivers, where the following vessels were built: 1874 schooner "J. O. Thayer" 380 tons capacity 1874 schooner "Granger" 366 tons capacity 1874 schooner "Bertie Calkins" 256 tons capacity 1875 schooner "John Schuette" 289 tons capacity In 1880 they were again operating their yard at Manitowoc, where they built the following ships: 1880 steamer "Daisy Day" 124 tons capacity 1880 schooner "H. O. Albrecht" 309 tons capacity 1881 schooner "Melitta" 83 tons capacity 1881 schooner "E. B. Maxwell" 360 tons capacity 1881 schooner "T. L. Parker" 628 tons capacity 1882 schooner "J. L.

LOUIS FREDRICK SEEGER From Der Nord Westen, 28 Sep. 1905: One of the oldest German settlers of our city, Louis Seeger, died Mon. after having suffered many years from his advanced age. Mr. Seeger was born 28 Nov. 1822 in Württemberg and came to America in 1845. He first settled in Buffalo, N.Y. where he married Miss Endres, and they came to Manitowoc in 1847 where they lived permanently…. Mr. Seeger operated a barber shop here for many years and was known and well thought of by young and old. At the end of his 80th year he laid down his scissors and retired. His wife died a few years ago and he began to decline, although well taken care of by his daughter, Mrs. Miller, wife of dentist Dr. J.B. Miller. His death was not entirely unanticipated. So, we have lost another one of our city’s pioneers with only a few remaining. Mr. Seeger leaves 3 sons and 2 daughters. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon under the direction of the local Sons of Hermann Lodge, an order to which the deceased belonged for many years. ****** [bur. 09-27-1905/cause: bronchitis]

WILLIAM E. SEIBEL W.E. Seibel, Merchant, Is Dead Today FOUND DYING IN OFFICE OF STORE AT NOON Worry Over Business Conditions Is Believed To Have Affected Mind; Survives Short Time Worry over conditions in the clothing business in which he had been a prominent figure for twenty years or more is believed to have unbalanced the mind of William E. Seibel, head of the company which bore his name, and to have been responsible for his death shortly before noon today when his unconscious form with a bullet in the right temple was found by employes in the office of the store on Quay street. Mr. Seibel, who was rushed to the hospital, never regained consciousness and died at 1:30. News of the untimely death of the well-known merchant and former hotel owner spread rapidly and proved a decided shock to business associates and acquaintances who had known him for the many years he was engaged in business here. He was about 63 years of age and had made his home in Manitowoc for about twenty-five years, coming here as manager of the Stumpf and Langhoff company of Milwaukee and later acquiring ownership of the branch here at a time it was located in the Urbanek building. He operated clothing stores here continuously since that time. Shot Not Heard Employes of the store stated that they had heard no shot fired but received their first intimation shortly before 11:15 o'clock when they heard the sound of moans coming from the private office of Mr. Seibel on the balcony of the store. Police were notified and when Officer Aaron Peterson reached the scene he found the apparently lifeless body of Mr. Seibel stretched upon a sofa in the office with blood still flowing from the wound. Coroner W.G. Kemper was called and although it was apparent that the wound would prove fatal, ordered Mr. Seibel sent to the hosptal. Used '38 Calibre Revolver The weapon used by Mr. Seibel was a .38 calibre five-shelled revolver and although the weapon was fully loaded only one shot had been fired from it. Indications that it had been purchased only recently were given by the presence of the price tag on it. Prior to the discovery of the body, he remarked to one of his clerks as he handed him the store key that "if anything happens to me, lock up the store at once." Was Pioneer in Business Mr. Seibel had been in ill-health for sometime and was frequently under the care of physicians. For years his untiring efforts in the clothing business here made him widely known throughout his section and his store was one of the best known establishments in the county. He was widely known and his ability in judging merchandise became a byword among persons affiliated with the same type of business. Coming here about thirty years ago he acted as manager for the Milwaukee concern for some time before acquiring an interest in the business and he subsequently conducted clothing establishments on North Eighth street and later on two corners at Eighth and Franklin streets and about two years ago moved into his present stand on Quay street. He was contemplating establishment of a second store on the north side when he died. Operated Hotel In addition to his activities in the clothing business, Mr. Seibel at one time owned the Williams Hotel here, a pioneer and widely-known state hotel which was disposed of about two years ago when the Kresge interests purchased the property. Since that time he devoted his entire time to his store. When not actively interested in the direction of his business affairs he was to be found at some lake in Northern Wisconsin and was an ardent devotee of all forms of game fishing. Left Several Notes Contents of several notes which he left with his papers in a strong box next to his desk were not made public, Coroner Kemper refusing to permit them to be opened until he secured orders for their release. A note found on the top of the boxes directing that his body be taken care of by the Wattawa & Cy Urbanek company. Arrangements Incomplete Arrangements for the funeral services of Mr. Seibel were not completed at an early hour this afternoon owing to the unexpectedness of the death. Arrival of relatives was being awaited before decision was made. In addition to his widow, Mr. Seibel is survived by a daughter, Mill Wilma, who is a student at the University of Wisconsin. Two brothers, one state patrol agent, Joseph Seibel, and a sister also survive. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.

ERVIE ETTA SHERMAN Manitowoc Pilot May 31, 1888 Died- At Manitowoc, Wis., May 25th 1888, Ervie E Sherman, youngest daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth Sherman, aged 26 years and 10 months. Twenty six years ago ther came into the world this spirit bright, joyous, hopeful constituted by nature to preeminently enjoy the pleasures of earth-life. For some reason which we cannot understand, it seemed best to the Divine Wisdom that this beautiful spirit should inhabit a body exceedingly susceptible to the encroacments of disease. In early childhood there began a friction between the spirit and flesh which grew into a mighty struggle. Year by year subtle disease fastened itself more firmly upon the body bringing such dire pains and afflictions as few ever experience, debarring the spirit from all social pleasures and sapping life of almost every joy. In the midst of all these trials when sympathy was so precious, Death tore away a tender loving mother and most kind father. Nor was this spirit benumbed by disease to its sorrows and depravations, as in many cases, but was left keenly alive and sensitive to it's real afflictions. Do we wonder that it was hard to be reconciled, or that the soul was tempted in bitterness to cry-"How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? Forever" But, let us rejoice that into the darkness their came light, into the terrible combat there came aid to the spirit so that, in spite of powers of evil, it rose triumphant into that realm of "peace which passeth understanding" and there patiently, hopefully, unmurmuringly, even cheerfully, awaited its perfect release from the enemy walready conquered. At last, that release has come and the freed spirit with joy unutterable mounts to it's reward.
