KARL SINGELMANN IN A STRANGE LAND. Charles Singleman, of This city Gives His Life in Defense of The Flag. MEMBER OF CO. G 11, CAVALRY. Wounded in Action Jan. 18, He Died Three Days Later-News Not Received Here-Left Manitowoc a Year Ago. Far from the scenes of his childhood, in a strange land; wounded and alone, with no mother's hand to cool the fevered brow, with none but strangers to perform the last duties for him and convey to loved ones the messages entrusted to their care, Charles Singleman, of this city, gave his life, and, wrapped in the folds of the flag he loved so well and in defense of which he gave his all, in the shallow grave now rests, in the sleep that knows no reveille. Charles Singleman was a member of Co. G. Eleventh Cavalry and was wounded in action January 18th. Three days later, on January 21, his name appeared in the report of Gen. Otis forwarded to the war department at Washington, as having died from wounds received. Young Singleman was 19 years of age and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Singleman, of this city and later entered the employ of the Aluminum Novelty Co., with the intention of becoming an engraver. A little over a year ago he received an offer to go south and accepted. It was there that fired with patriotism and a love of adventure he enlisted in the service of Uncle Sam and went to the front. His parents were unaware of his intentions and the first intimation they received was a letter saying he had entered the army and was enlisted in Co. G. After sailing for Manila he wrote several letters home, and although the sacrifice was great, the knowledge that he was serving his country, reconciled the parents to his absence. The first news of the death was received in the dispatches appearing in the city papers Tuesday, and it is doubtful, if the parents are even now aware of the sorrow which has come to their lives. A HERALD representative was unable to see either Mr. Singleman or his wife, but it is very probable that notice of the death has not been forwarded as yet. Besides the parents, one sister survives. The horrors of war are more forcibly brought to mind in the death of the young soldier. It is Manitowoc's first sacrifice to the Philippine cause and the sympathy of the entire community will go out to the bereaved family. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, January 24, 1900 P.1 *********** Mr. and Mrs. Peter Singleman, the parents of Charles Singleman, the Manitowoc soldier boy who met death in the Philippines, while following the flag, have received notice from Washington of the death of their son. The dispatch conveying the sad news was received here yesterday, and the mother and father are almost prostrated by grief. Although the news of death as given in the dispatches Tuesday had reached them, they were unwilling to give credence, believing it to be some one of the same name as their son, who had been killed. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 26, 1900 P.1 *********** From Der Nord Westen, 08 Mar. 1900: Dr. Huwatschek has written from Manila that Charles Singelman of Manitowoc, whose death had been reported to his parents by the War Dept., had died in hospital there on 17 Jan. (Very light print, so this extract is sketchy) *********** From Der Nord Westen, 26 Apr. 1900: The casket of Charles Singelmann, whose passing we reported last week, was buried Sun. from the Lutheran Church. Company H of the 2nd Regiment of our State Militia gave him a military funeral and fired a salute over the grave. The young man was a victim of an enemy bullet in the Philippines. Past members of that company, who were veterans of the Spanish War, accompanied the casket and were followed by many residents of our city. The fallen soldier was the only son of his parents. He joined up at age 18, without his parents’ knowledge, while he was working in Lancaster, PA. He received his fatal wounds toward the end of last year. [cause: exhaustion from amputation]
