He was five when his father, the late William Halberg came to Two Rivers become maltster at the former R.E. Mueller Brewing Co. When he was seven his father died. His mother, the former Louise Ludwig, died at Two Rivers in her mid-seventies. Mr. Halberg was one of six students to make up the 1902 graduating class of Two Rivers High School after which he entered the old Manitowoc Business College, majoring in accounting. For more then 22 years later, Mr. Halberg worked at Manitowoc, first with Rahr Malting Co. and later at the former Aluminum Goods Mfg.

ELIZABETH HALLAUER 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. Manitowoc Co. Chronicle, Two Rivers, July 29, 1872 (I believe this is the right person, the age and year are correct, although the name is not spelled the same.)
GEORGE HALLAUER Aged but Active. George Hallauer, the oldest settler and oldest inhabitant of Two Rivers, celebrated his 91st birthday Wednesday. Among other things he did that day was helping tear down the old barn on his premises. Mr. and Mrs. Anton Molle son-in-law and daughter of Antigo was here for the birthday anniversary. The Reporter, Two Rivers, Fri. Mar. 12, 1915 ********* TWO RIVERS MEN GROWING OLD IN YEARS Two of the oldest residents of Manitowoc county at Two Rivers celebrated their birthday anniversaries the past few days, George Hallener (sic), his 92nd anniversary on Saturday and Gilbert Louiseau his 90th on Sunday, and the Two Rivers Chronicle publishes cuts of the two with extended write-ups. Both men, despite their advanced age are in fair health and active. Mr. Hallener operated a stage line between Milwaukee and Two Rivers in early days before a railway was built. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, March 16, 1916 P.1 ********* COUNTY’S OLDEST RESIDENT PASSES AWAY AT TWO RIVERS George Hallauer, 93 Fought in German Revolution in 1848 and then Fled Country to Locate Here In the passing away of George Hallauer, Sr., aged 93, at Two Rivers, this morning, Manitowoc county lost its oldest citizen. Born in Province Baden, Germany, March 10, 1824, this old pioneer nearly rounded a lifetime to the century mark. During the German revolution in 1848, he fought under General Franz Siegel, however the efforts of the revolutionists were in vain and when the war was over, it was necessary to flee to another land. Mr. Hallauer immediately came to America and during the days when sailing vessels were most in evidence to carry the immigrants to this country, the trip across the ocean consumed nearly two months. He came to Milwaukee and from there he walked following the Indian trails in the wilderness to Two Rivers, then a settlement, and he has seen it grow into a substantial city. For many years before the Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western railroad was built, he was engaged in hauling freight and mail between Two Rivers and Milwaukee, making one round trip weekly. The funeral will take place at Two Rivers Friday afternoon. He is survived by one son, Geo. Hallauer, Jr., five daughters, Mrs. Sophie Altman, Mrs. Theresa Anderson, Mrs. Fred Trester, Mrs. Carl Hahn and Mrs. Anton Molly. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, July 25, 1917, Page 7
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.

Decedent came to Two Rivers 62 years ago and for fifty years was a member of St. John's church in that city. Three weeks ago, when she began to fail, she was taken to Milwaukee where death occurred. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, April 7, 1916 P.3 ******** COURTS OF 2 COUNTIES IN CLASH OVER ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATE OF FORMER TWO RIVERS WOMAN Probate courts of Manitowoc and Milwaukee counties will clash over the probation of the estate of the late Mrs. Dorothy Hammel, a former Two Rivers woman who died at Milwaukee on April 6, petitions for probation of the estate having been filed in both courts. Two wills have also been filed, one in each court and a question of jurisdiction has been raised that may be carried to the supreme court for ruling. Mrs. Hammel, who was adjudged an incompetent by the Manitowoc county court on March 28, upon petition of her brother, C.H. Boedecker, of Milwaukee, left an estate said to be worth $8,500. The woman was a patient at the hospital here prior to March 28 when adjudged incompetent, but later was taken to Milwaukee by her brother, who was appointed guardian. She died there on April 6. A few days later a will with petition for administration was filed by Boedecker in Milwaukee courts and on April 11 Attorney F.W. Dicke of Two Rivers, filed a petition with a will in probate court here asking administration, being named in the will as executor. The petition in Milwaukee court was filed first, however, which raises an issue on jurisdiction. The will filed at Milwaukee is dated in 1905 while that filed in the local court is dated in 1910 which recognizes the will here as the last testament of the decedent. Mrs. Hammel, who was a widow, had not gained a residence in Milwaukee county which fact may have a bearing on the issue raised. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, May 9, 1916 P.1

JOHN HERIAN From Der Nord Westen, 26 Mar. 1908: (From the correspondent in Two Rivers, 23 Mar.) John Herrian was buried Saturday afternoon. He died in the mental facility in Manitowoc where he had been a patient for many years. Herrian, who came here from Mishicott, operated a harness shop and enjoyed a fine reputation. He sold the business and retired and a few years later was declared to be mentally ill and sent to the state mental facility in Oshkosh, later being transferred to the Manitowoc facility as incapable of being healed. His family, consisting of his widow and several grown children, still live here. ********** From Der Nord Westen, 26 Mar. 1908: John Harrian of Two Rivers, who has been a patient in the local mental facility since 19 July 1900, took his own life Thursday morning last week. He had often threatened suicide and was kept under close watch, but with the mentally disturbed it is often impossible and despite all surveillance, exceptions occur. By profession he was a harness maker and had lived in Two Rivers for a long time. When he became obsessed with making a perpetual machine producing electricity, his mind snapped and he was sent to the state mental facility in Oshkosh and then later transferred to the local mental facility here and placed under a suicide watch. In some way he found out that the facility's mechanic kept a shotgun in his bedroom. On Thursday morning he noticed that the mechanic had failed to lock his door. He went in, took the weapon, cocked it, tied a string from his apron to the trigger and the other end to his foot, put the muzzle in his mouth and fired it with his foot. (Article goes into specific detail of the aftermath.) Harrian was 51 years old and leaves a widow and 7 children in Two Rivers. A coroner's inquest was held. ********* From Der Nord Westen, 30 Apr. 1908: (From the correspondent in Two Rivers, 27 Apr.) Last week Mrs. John Herrian received a check of $2,000 from the "Modern Woodman" Order as payment of her husband's life insurance. It is said that Herrian is the first member of that order to have died. ********* A SAD MISFORTUNE. John Herian Adjudged Insane. Is Father of Seven Children. John Herian, of Two Rivers, was adjudged insane in county court this morning. For the past four years he has shown symptoms of insanity, but the malady has never assumed a violent form. He traveled quite extensively of late and on his return from a recent trip, he acted very strangely. Friends petitioned that he be taken care of and he was brought to this city last evening and taken to Oshkosh this morning. It is supposed that constant worry over business matters was the direct cause of his misfortune. The case is sad in that he is married and is the father of seven children, the youngest being but four years of age. He was rather unwilling to enter the hospital but the physicians who conducted the examination ordered that he be taken care of. The family is in comfortable circumstances.
