EUGENE O.G. ALTER (VON ALTER) From the Lakeshore Times, July 18, 1882: At Rest Died: July 15, 1882, Eugen Alter, aged 50 years, 3 months and six days. Mr. Alter was born in Coblenz, Germany, April 9, 1832. In his veins there flowed the blood of two of Germany's noble families. His father was a scion of the ancient and honorable house of Von Alter, while his mother, nee Von Kutzleben, could trace her lineage back into the misty times of the age of chivalry. Born under such fortuitous circumstances, he enjoyed the best of educational facilities. A few years after the death of his father, which occurred in 1847, he emigrated, with his mother and sister to America, which to him, was the land where the true form of free government was realized. After a few month's stay in Buffalo, he came, together with the aforementioned, to Manitowoc, in May, 1850. Thus it will be seen that he was one of our oldest settlers. With the exception of a few months, spent as a clerk in Milwaukee, he has lived here ever since. He has been engaged in various enterprises and business, and during the past seven or eight years has been in charge of the Clothing Department of J. Schuette and Bros. About four months ago, he was seized with an attack of inflammation of the bowels, and ever since his health has failed. He was subject to numerous spells of sickness during that time, yet from each one he rallied. But the last one was fatal. Exactly four months ago he became seriously sick, and during all those weary weeks, he suffered most excruciating pain. The scientific skill of the physician could give but temporary relief. Gradually the robust form wasted away; the hand of science was not strong enough to keep the dread destroyer distant; the grief of wife and sons was met with no mercy. He died, and perhaps death was merciful in relieving his terrible sufferings, which he bore with manly fortitude, and his unselfish, loving nature was never shown to better advantage than during those dreary days of sickness. No patient ever caused less trouble to those nursing him, than he. It was touching to see how anxious he was that none of his family should suffer inconvenience on account of him. Indeed, it is an inscrutable providence that allows rascality to thrive and enjoy health, while it dooms such a noble nature to weeks and months of suffering, which only ends in death. A wife and three sons, as well as a large number of relatives, mourn this loss. Upon the sanctity of the grief of the family let no one intrude. No one knows better of the terrible sufferings the deceased underwent, than she, who, day and night, sat at his bedside and ministered to his every want with loving hands, and as there was no other cure than death, her boundless love for the deceased will make her resigned to that fate. Let the sons, who are just on the verge of manhood, ever keep sacred the memory and emulate the virtues of him, who has gone before them "to the land of the hereafter." He reared them with a firm and loving hand, they were his pride, his comfort, his everything. ********** The funeral of Mr. Alter occurs this afternoon at three o'clock. He will be buried with Masonic ceremonies, Bro. J.M. Craig delivering the oration. The deceased was an enthusiastic admirer of the craft and his death is a severe loss to the order in this vicinity. ********** From the Lakeshore Times, July 25, 1882: In Memoriam. At a regular communication of Manitowoc Lodge No. 65 F. & A. M., held Wednesday, July 19, 1882, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has pleased our all-wise Supreme Master to call from labor unto rest, our worth Brother and fellow craftsman, Eugene Alter, and Whereas, We are thus separated in the body, from one whose departure creates a sad vacancy in our councils, and in our ranks, therefore be it Resolved, That this lodge in parting with our worthy brother, feels called upon to express its sentiments of respect due him as a man and a mason; that our heartfelt sympathies go out to his bereaved family, to whom his qualities of heart, and generous affections endcared(sic) him in a love, that is lasting beyond the confines of the grave. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Lodge and published in the papers of the city. Fred Heineman, E.G. Nash Com. ********** (Death notice in Der Nord Westen, 20 July 1882 Death of Eugen Alter on 15 July. He arrived from Rheinland in 1850 at age 18 with his mother (now deceased)and his sister who is now the wife of Mr. Wm. Bach. In recent years Mr. Alter worked in the store of the Schuette BROS. as head of the Men's Department. He leaves a wife and three children.)

OLIVER ASLACKSON From Der Nord Westen, 18 Aug. 1904: A terrible accident occurred yesterday afternoon at the intersection of State and 8th Streets. Elderly Oliver Aslakson was crossing the street but because of his age had lost his hearing and so was unable to discern the approaching streetcar. The motorman was unable to see the old man until it was too late because the car was coming around the corner. Therefore, Aslakson was hit head-on by the fast moving streetcar. Naturally the old man was knocked down and dragged some distance before the car could be stopped. It is reported that his chest was crushed, his head badly injured and both legs broken. Death must have occurred in the blink of an eye. A coroner’s inquest will be held today to determine the degree of the motorman’s responsibility. ********* From Der Nord Westen, 25 Aug. 1904: The coroner’s jury, which was considering last week’s accident in which Oliver Aslaksen lost his life, decided that the streetcar company was not responsible; however, the so-called fenders on the streetcar were not aligned as they should have been.
