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.

  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.

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.


RAYMOND ATTRIDGE

From Der Nord Westen, 10 Jan. 1907: 
Ray Attridge, who came from Clarks Mills in our county but had for years been

evening on his way to supper at his boarding house. He was crossing the Northwestern 
tracks on Reed Street and was struck by a passenger engine and thrown into the 
freight engine standing on the other track breaking almost every bone in his body. 
He died instantly. The deceased was 23 and his parents still live in Clarks Mills. 
The body was sent there for burial.
[Note: He was buried in Evergreen 3/9/1907. His burial is drawn smaller than normal, 
which is often an indication that it was a reburial.]
