HERMAN GLOE From Der Nord Westen, 07 May 1896: On Thurs. afternoon, Hermann Gloe of Two Rivers brought his life to an end by ingesting a quantity of carbolic acid.

RANDOLPH F. GLOE From the Two Rivers Reporter, Monday, March 8, 1948 Randy Gloe Taken Saturday; Was 51 Brilliant Instrumentalist III Four Years; Rites Tuesday In failing health for the past four years, Randy Gloe, 51, one of Wisconsin's most widely known instrumentalists and a member of a famous musical family of Two Rivers, died at Wisconsin General Hospital in Madison at 8:30 Saturday night. He had been a patient there for the past three weeks. Funeral services will be held in the chapel of the Klein & Stangel, Inc. funeral home at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. M.J. Roehrdanz officiating. Interment will be in the family Plot in Pioneers' Rest cemetery. The body may be viewed at the funeral home after seven o'clock this evening. Born in 1896 Randloph (sic) Gloe, familiarly known as Randy, was born in Two Rivers on November 29, 1896, a son of the late August and Mathilda Kiefer Gloe. He graduated from the public grade schools here and had attended high school. When he was but a youngster in his early teens he displayed remarkable talents as an instrumentalist inheriting such talents from his late father, who was one of the city's outstanding violinists. At the time Randy was developing for dance orchestral work, the Gloe brothers orchestra was then in existence. For his early training he went to Manitowoc to play with the Marine band and became a member of a Manitowoc dance orchestra. Shortly before World War I Randy returned to Two Rivers to become a member of the Gloe-Naidl orchestra, which included his twin brothers, Arthur and Archie, the late August H. Gloe, the late Joseph and Frank Naidl and Dr. A.R. Naidl now of Manitowoc. With this group he played trumpet and later included the saxophone. At various times he also played with both the Hamilton and Marine bands. Joined Schubert Band When jazz music became popular before World War I, Randy joined Schubert's Jazz Kings of Chicago and made an extended trip to the Pacific coast. A year later he rejoined the Gloe-Naidl orchestra as cornetist, saxophonist and vocal soloist. In the early twenties he spent one winter at Sarasota, Florida with the Ringling Brothers circus band, under the direction of Merrill Evans, who is still its leader. Rejoining Gloe-Naidls, Randy remained with the well known dance band until it disbanded in the late twenties. Since, the late musician had his own orchestra, Randy Gloe's Aristocrats, which played out of Green Bay for several years. Returning to Two Rivers some 10 years ago he formed another orchestra which had been active throughout this vicinity until four years ago, when he was stricken with illness. At the time he was also an employe of the Hamilton Manufacturing company. Recovering somewhat from the affliction in the past two years, Randy became a member of Romy Gosz' widely known orchestra, playing with the group until he was stricken again in recent weeks. Brilliant in Harmony Randy Gloe's remarkable talents for harmony and improvising were the envy of countless musicians throughout Wisconsin. Often it has been the remark among musicians: "There's only one Randy Gloe." Randy Gloe leaves his twin brothers, Arthur and Archie Gloe of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Clarence R. Becker of Manitowoc.

HENRY GOLDAMMER Manitowoc Co. Chronicle July 9, 1872 Henry Goldammer, a respected citizen of this village, committed suicide in a fit of temporary insanity, on Friday last, by shooting himself through the head with a pistol.

The deceased was about 58 years of age, has resided a long time in this village, and during the year '67 was elected town treasurer, an office which he held till about the commencement of the year '68, when partial blindness made it necessary to resign. Owing to the almost total blindness since, he has been incapable of helping himself and for the last two years he and his family have been helped more or less by the town.

ELIZABETH HALLAUER (I believe this is the right person, the age and year are correct, although the name is not spelled the same.) Manitowoc Co. Chronicle Two Rivers, July 29, 1872 At Two Rivers, Tuesday morning, July 23rd, 1872, in premature child-birth, Mrs. George Holauer, aged 42 years and 6 months. The deceased was a truly estimable woman, has lived many years--some twenty-three, we believe--in Two Rivers, and leaves a husband and seven children to mourn her sudden death. The real sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement, was attested by the general attendance at the funeral, which was appointed at 2 o'clock p.m. on Thursday last, for the convenience of relatives and friends in Sheboygan county who were present.

DIANTHA (SMITH) HAMILTON Two Rivers Reporter Saturday, Dec. 13, 1913: DEATH OF MRS. DIANTHA HAMILTON As we are about to go to press we are informed of the death of Mrs. Diantha Hamilton, one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. While Mrs. Hamilton has been in failing health for several months the tender devotion and care of the family together with her remarkable vitality, has lessened the anxiety of her many friends causing her death to come with sudden realization of the loss of one who has meant much to our community. Mrs. Hamilton was a daughter of Hezekiah Huntington Smith who came to Two Rivers from Youngstown, Niagara County, N.Y. in 1846. She was born at Youngstown July 29, 1830. After coming west with her family she resided for a time in Milwaukee, attending the old Milwaukee College, joining her family at Two Rivers in 1846. At that time Two Rivers was a mere frontier settlement consisting of a few log houses located in a small clearing in the dense forest. She was married at Two Rivers, December 23, 1849 to Henry C. Hamilton who has also come here from Niagara County, New York. Four children were born of this union, all living today, J.E. and H.P. of this city George D. Hamilton of Detroit, Minn., and Mrs. J.L. Moore of Atlanta, Ga. At the outbreak of the Civil War her husband enlisted as Quarter-master of the 21st. Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. On April 4, 1864 he died at Nashville, Tenn. Altho for fifty years the widow of a soldier and officer in the Civil War, Mrs. Hamilton never received a pension. Left without means upon the death of her husband with four small children, the youngest a baby she managed to support herself and children until they could provide for themselves. She endured privations with fortitude and in her later years lived to enjoy some of the comforts of life. Among the many services she and her family have rendered this city and community, she held the distinction of having taught the first school in Two Rivers and her pupils were some of the pioneers who helped to develop the community. Measuring her life with its far reaching influence, we are unable to express the full significance of her service. Her father, husband, children and grandchildren have had a leading part in the development of Two Rivers and she lived more than four score years, a witness to all changes that have taken place. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that the people of this community extend deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the family in bereavement. Funeral services will be held from Grace Church, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 Rev. Morris officiating.
