Salomon and Mrs. Rudolph in this city - came here in 1855, with his beloved

through the principal wars against the 1st Napoleon, distinguished himself 
repeatedly and was twice decorated, first with the Iron Cross of Prussia and 
then the Russian Cross of St. George. His final surrender to the conqueror 
"death" was quiet and peaceful.  The funeral will take place this afternoon.

Christopher Salomon



DOROTHEA (KLUSSMANN) SALOMON
 
Manitowoc Tribune, December 14, 1871:
Last Sunday afternoon we followed to her last resting place one of the 
brightest ornaments of humanity, a faithful mother; a mother who counts 
among her children one of the best Governors we have had in our State; 
and a General and a Colonel who have nobly distinguished themselves during 
the late rebellion. Mrs. Dorothea Salomon died here last Friday, of paralysis, 
aged 78 years. Two years ago she celebrated her golden wedding with her 
beloved husband, who is still lingering on earth, when all her children and 
grandchildren were with the happy parents. Since then their youngest daughter 
living, Mrs. Rudolph, has been the only child who could be with them, and most 
faithfully and nobly has she fulfilled her filial duties. The funeral was very 
numerously attended, although there was no public notice given, on account of 
the low state of the old gentleman, Mr. Salomon. Mr. Esslinger made a few very 
appropriate remarks at the grave, and then was laid to rest one whose life and 
conduct might serve as a pattern for all as that of a true, loving wife and a 
most faithful devoted mother. The bereaved children have the most heartfelt 
sympathy of their many friends and of our whole community.

Herman Salomon was born in Prussia January 1, 1834 to parents Christoph & 
Dorothea (nee Klussman) Salomon. Brother of Gen. Charles Eberhard, Maj. 
Gen. Frederick C., Wisconsin Governor Edward Salomon, Caroline Hottelman, 
and Doris Rudolph. Emigrated to U.S. in 1852 and lived with his family in 
Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Served in the Union during the Civil War in the 1st 
Missouri Engineer Regiment as Sergeant of Co. I. He married Fredericka 
Vetting in 1872. Herman died in Manitowoc after long respiratory illness on 
September 20, 1881. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc, Wisconsin."

LOCAL PEOPLE MAY SHARE IN SALAMON ESTATE
New York Attorneys Seek Relatives of Late Gov. Salamon and 
Search Leads to This City
Inquiries have been made of the state department at Madison by New 
York attorneys seeking to locate relatives of the late Gov. Edward 
Salamon as a result of which the family of Herman Salamon deceased, 
of this city, may share in division of property said to be held at 
New York. Herman Salamon, deceased thirty four years ago, was a 
brother of Edward Salamon, known as Wisconsin's "war governor" and 
his family is interested in the report from Madison. 
The Madison dispatch says:
"Madison, Wis. Feb. 2. A letter received at the executive office from 
New York asks that search be made for relatives of ex Gov. Salamon. 
It says some property of the Edward Salamon relatives is about to be 
divided. L.C. Whittet was unable to find any relatives. Gov. Salamon 
was a resident of Milwaukee. He was governer from April, 1862 to 
Jan. 4, 1964, after the death of Gov. Harvey."
Evidently no very extended search has been made by Madison officials 
for relatives of the late governor. The family of Herman Salamon, in 
this city, consisting of Mrs. Salamon, three daughters, Doris, Clara 
and Serena-and one son, Edward, having received no communication from 
the state department. Their first information of the matter was given 
by a Herald reporter this morning and Mrs. Salamon will at once 
communicate with Mr. Whittet at Madison and ask for more details of 
the New York inquiry.
The late Herman Salamon, whose death occurred in Germany 34 years ago 
while he was there on a trip, was one of four brothers, of whom Gov. 
Salamon, Gen. Eberhardt Salamon and Gen. Frederick Salamon were the 
others. His daughters are nieces of the late governor and his son a 
nephew and probably the nearest living relatives.
The report from New York that there was property of the late governer 
to be claimed was a surprise to the local family who had thought that 
the affirs of the estate had long ago been settled.
Without information as to the purport of the inquiry from New York, 
Mrs. Salamon and her family are interested in the Madison report and 
today addressed a letter to the governor's secretary giving information 
as to relationship to the late governor. Friends here are hopeful that 
the family will share in the estate, if one is to be divided, as 
indicated by the dispatches.

when he was struck by the car in attempting to cross the street ahead 
of it, Irwin, five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schalowetz, York 
street, was seriously, if not fatally, injured late this afternoon.

on the leg over which the car passed. The accident is said by witnesses 
to have been one of those unfortunate happenings for which no one can 
be blamed. 
The driver of the car had turned his machine to avoid a wagon just as 
the child stepped from the curb to cross the street. The car was 
proceeding at a slow speed and was stopped within a few feet after 
striking the boy. The child was carried into the home of Frank Forestor, 
near by and a physician called. The condition of the child is critical.

north side of the roadway, directly in the path of the car, and was 
struck by the front wheel of the machine. The wheel struck the babe’s 
head causing a fracture at the base of the brain. The body was pushed 
along the pavement and several abrasions were made upon the leg but 
aside from this the body was not marked. The child’s arm appeared to 
have been injured but no bones were found broken, and there were no 
internal injuries. At the time of the accident a moving van was backed 
up to the curb on the opposite side of the street where Mr. Niles, 
grandfather of the dead child was loading his furniture to move. The 
child had been a great favorite with Mr. and Mrs. Niles and it is 
presumed wanted to get across the street where Mrs. Niles was. Mr. 
Kielsmeier had turned his machine a little so as not to pass too near 
the horse attached to the moving van and just as he reached a point 
in line with the van, the child ran from the curb to cross the street 
and was struck by the automobile. 
Witnesses say that the wheels of the machine did not pass over the boy’s 
body and that Mr. Kielsmeier stopped within a few feet, indicating that 
the driver was proceeding slowly. The injured boy was carried to the 
home of the Forestors and Dr. C.M. Gleason was summoned and dressed the 
injury to the leg and cared for the little sufferer who was later taken 
to the hospital where he lingered through the night and early morning, 
death coming at 11 o’clock Sunday morning. The little victim of the 
tragedy was three years old, the report Saturday that he was five years 
old being an error. 
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schalowetz and was a bright little 
fellow. The parents are prostrated. Manitowoc has been fortunate in 
escaping automobile tragedies of this nature, the death of the Schalowetz 
boy being the first within the city, though two years ago a little girl 
named Pleuss residing near Silver Lake died from injuries sustained when 
she was run down on the road near Brown’s corner. 
Coroner Falge and District Attorney Schmitz held a conference this morning 
and an inquest was decided upon in the Schalowetz case and a jury will be 
drawn. While the case appears to be an accident that was unavoidable under 
the circumstances, Coroner Falge believes that an inquest should be held 
and ordered one. Mr. Kielsmeier, driver of the car, was overcome by the 
accident and personally hurried to summon a physician after assisting in 
caring for the injured child. The inquest was called at 2 o’clock this 
afternoon, the following jury having been sworn: George Orth, Wm. Buenning, 
Wenzel Kadow, Charles Gruhle, J.G. Lehmkuhl and Frank Guse, Jr. A number 
of witnesses have been summoned. 
The funeral of the dead child will be held Wednesday morning at 9:30 from 
St. Boniface church, with interment at Evergreen.

Injuries Proved Fatal.
Simon Scheinoha Dies From the Effects of His Injuries.
Simon Scheinoha, the carpenter who was injured at the dock Saturday, 
died at his home on Hamilton street yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was 56 years of age and leaves a wife and eight children, 
seven of whom are under 21 years of age. He has always been an honest, 
upright and industrious man and held the respect and esteems of a 
large circle of friends. He was an active member of the United Workmen 
and carried $2,000 insurance in that order. The breaved family have 
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in this, the dark hour,

Simon Scheinoha, while engaged with others in the employ 
of the Chicago and Northwestern Comapny, tearing down a 
so-called coal shed, was injured last fall, and died from 
the effects of the injuries, on November 19, 1898. 
Thereafter, the widow made application for administration 
in the county court of Manitowoc County, through Henry J. 
Gerpheide as attorney, and Mr. Wm. Rathsack was appointed 
administrator, the object being to commence suit against 
the railroad company for causing the death. Mr. Gerpheide 
has since then looked carefully into the matter and the 
law bearing on the case, and he has come to the conclusion 
that the company is not liable. He succeeded in securing 
an offer from the company of a certain sum as sympathy to 
the family but they refused to accept. Mr. Gerpheide is 
of the opinion that the plaintiff could not recover any 
damages and personally has dropped the case.

Mrs. J. Scherer, widow of the late John Scherer, died at the hospital this 
afternoon from injuries suffered early today when she fell down a stairway 
at her home at 1219 So. Eleventh street, and fractured her skull. Mrs. 
Scherer never regained consciousness after the accident.
No one witnessed the accident, the stairway being an outside one and members 
of the family found the injured woman unconscious at the foot of the stairway 
when they heard a noise and investigated. Mrs. Scherer, who was 69, had 
evidently been overcome by dizziness as she neared the top of the stairs as 
an ash pan she carried was found near the top of the flight. She had been 
downstairs to visit a member of the family who is ill and was returning to 
her rooms.
Mrs. Scherer was born here and was twice married, her first husband Balzar

HENRY SCHERER, SR., FATHER OF LATE ALD. WM. SCHERER, 
DIES FEW HRS. AFTER FUNERAL OF HIS SON
Civil War Veteran and Pioneer settler of City Succumbs to Injuries 
Suffered in Fall on Icy Walk Three Weeks ago. Funeral to be Held 
on Sunday
Death came to Henry Scherer, Sr., civil war veteran and pioneer 
resident of the city, on the day that the funeral of his son, the 
late Ald. William Scherer, was held yesterday, Mr. Scherer passing 
away at the hospital a few hours after the burial of his son at 
Evergreen. The family has the sympathy of the public in the double 
bereavement which has come to it.
Mr. Scherer's death was due to injuries, which he sustained three 
weeks ago when he suffered the fracture of his hip in a fall on an 
icy walk. Owing to his advanced age, the inury was a most serious 
one and his ????tion had held out little hope of recover. The death 
of his son a few days ago undoubtedly hastened his demise, proving 
a great shock to him.
The accident which resulted in the death of Mr. Scherer occurred at 
his home, 1219 So. Eleventh street, three weeks ago and he was removed 
to the hospital where his death occurred ??? night. Mr. Scherer was 83 
years of age and a native of Germany. He came to America sixty two 
years ago and for more than half a century had been a resident in this 
city, and was married here. Mr. Scherer served in the civil war as a 
member of the 45th Wisconsin and later returned here. He was a member 
of Walker Post, G.A.R. and was well known.
Besides his aged widow, who is prostrated by the double bereavement 
in the death of her husband and son, Mr. Scherer is survived by three 
children, Edward, this city, Mrs. Charles West of Milwaukee and Henry, 
Jr., of Neshoto, Mrs. West, who was here for the funeral of her brother, 
Ald. Scherer had returned to Milwaukee last evening and upon arrival 
there received the message announcing the death of her father and she 
will return for the funeral.
The funeral for Mr. Scherer will be held Sunday afternoon from the 
Reformed church of which he had been an active member for more than 
forty years.

One of the sad incidents in connection with the death of the late 
Henry Scherer, Sr., is the fact that had Mr. Scherer lived until 
August, this year, he and his wife would have celebrated their 
diamond wedding. Mr. Scherer was planning on the event even a few 
days before the injury which led to his death and the day before 
he died was talking about it to his son. The funeral has been 
changed, instead of Sunday it will take place on Saturday afternoon 
from the Reformed Church.

WILLIAM SCHERER

DEATH INVADES CITY'S OFFICIAL FAMILY FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS, 
ALD. WM. SCHERER DIES SUNDAY
MEMBER OF COUNCIL FROM THIRD WARD SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS OF TEN 
DAYS FROM PNEUMONIA AND COMPLICATIONS. HAD SERVED TWO TERMS 
AS MEMBER OF BOARD OF ALDERMEN. LONG RESIDENT OF CITY
Death, for the first time in many years, has invaded the official 
family of Manitowoc and claimed a member in service of the municipal 
government, William Scherer, member of the city council from the 3rd 
ward, having passed away at his home, 1315 South Twelfth street, 
Sunday afternoon.
A call for an informal meeting the city council to be held this evening 
to arrange for attendance at the funeral, has been issured by Mayor 
Edward Thorison. The council will attend the funeral in a body.
The death of Alderman Scherer came as a shock to his associates in the 
city's official family and to the city, he having been ill but ten days. 
Death was due to pneumonia and complications and while his condition had 
been critical, it was not until Saturday that physicians abondoned hope 
of his recovery. The end came Sunday afternoon, Mr. Scherer being 
surrounded by members of his family as death claimed him.
Mr. Scherer was a native of New York state and had he lived until March 
would have been 55 years of age. He came here with his parents as a boy 
and had made his home in the city practically all his life. He learned 
the shoemaker's trade which he followed up to the time of his death, 
having been employed at the Luebke & Kellner store in recent years having 
been at work only two weeks ago when stricken. Mr. Scherer attended the 
last meeting of the city council held Jan. 17 but at that time complained 
of illness and two days later was forced to take to his bed which he was 
destined not to leave alive.
Alderman Scherer was serving his second two-year term as a member of the 
council, having been first elected in 1913 from the Third ward on the 
socialist ticket. He was one of two members of that part to be re-elected 
in the campaign last spring and the first of his party to be named in the 
Third ward.
In his service in the council Alderman Scherer was named on important 
committees, being chairman of the police committee during his two terms. 
He was interested in the improvement of the department and only recently 
introduced a recommentation in the council for purchase of a motor patrol. 
He was also a member of committees on public improvements, on licenses 
and on streets.
Mr. Scherer was a strong advocate of the rights of the small property owner 
of the city and was constantly watchful of the interests of his constituents. 
He was determined in his opposition to measures which he deemed unjust and 
as determined to support of those things which he believed for the general 
public good and while not an orator, he was active in debates on questions 
of public policy. Mr. Scherer was known as a supporter of the administration 
policies as outlined by Mayor Stolze.
Besides his wife Mr. Scherer is survived by seven children, William, this 
city; Mrs. Mayme Seefluth, Madison, Omar, Boyd, Arline, Roy and Florella of 
this city.
Funeral arrangements of the burial of Alderman Scherer have not been 
completed.
