OTTO TROEMEL FEBRUARY 22, 1873 Friday, Feb. 7th, Otto Troemel, Editor of the Manitowoc Zeitung, aged 42 years. Of Erysipelas. The deceased editor has long been a resident of this City and by his culture and courteous demeanor to his fellow men, has made very many personal friends, as was attested by the extraordinary turn out on Sunday afternoon, to pay their last respects to his earthly remains. His reputation was ever that of a true and faithful friend, high minded and scrupulously honest in all his dealings in his business relations, he was universally respected as one of out best citizens. Sociable, companionable, and considerate of others views fearlessly when asked, yet without the guile or ostentation that makes them offensive. As an editor his place is difficult to fill. He was radical in his politics, but earnest, energetic, and indefatigable in his labors for the men or measures which he might expose. If he had enemies their origin was conceived through some long and tedious campaign and tanned by adverse interest. His Stewardship and faithful; what more can we ask of.

"Mr. Troemel was an amiable companion, a faithful friend to his friends, a gentleman in the true sense of the word, a good citizen. The Republican party loses in him one of its most zealous members, and the press of Manitowoc one of its most capable, honorable representatives. Peace to his ashes."
