Ammann, 67, widely known Kiel manufacturer, long a leader in musical circles, and the first mayor of the city of Kiel, died at his home this week Wednesday shortly after noon.

In 1890, when he was but 21 years old, he bought the August Kurz cigar factory which still exists, and of which he remained the active head until illness forced him to retire over a year ago.

Three children were born to them, all of whom survive. They are Mrs. L. H. (Norma) Schaar and Mrs. Elmer (Vera) Toepel of this city, and Mrs. Valmer (Carmen) Goltry of Litchfield, Conn. Also surviving him besides his widow are three grandchildren, and a brother, Joseph and a sister, Miss Catherine, both of Los Angeles, Calif.

In 1920, when Kiel was incorporated as a city, Mr. Ammann was chosen the first mayor. (no newspaper named, April 1936) ********** Funeral services for Henry J.

THEODORE AMMANN II cemetery #82 He was the son of Marie Agnes Riede and Theodor Ammann the 1st. Theodor was born on December 23, 1832 at or near Bedferdig, Rhin Provence, Germany. He served for three years in the Prussian army as a guard in Berlin and there made good use of his spare time to improve his knowledge especially in music in which he was gifted. At this time the Prussian government gave every soldier an educational opportunity without cost. In 1857 he married Gertrude Born in Hemmerden, Kreis Reus, in the Government District of Düsseldorf, Germany, Rhine Province. They came to America in 1864 and one of her brothers accompanied them. They crossed in one of the first steamships. It took twelve days to cross the Atlantic and twelve more days to travel from New York City to Wisconsin. Three children had been born in Germany — Joseph, Katrina, and Anna. They lived for a short time in New Holstein, Calumet County, Wisconsin, where Rosa was born. Agnes was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and Henry in Rhine Township, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Theodor Ammann II with his family moved to Kiel about 1871, where he made his living as a cabinet maker. He bought land in Kiel along the Sheboygan River from Hans Greve in 1886. Their first home was at the corner of Broadway and Fifth Street. Later they moved to a home at what is now Sixth Street. He sold one of his lots on the river (406 - 5th Street) to his son Henry in 1902. ******** The following is taken from Theodor Ammann’s obituary published in the Kiel paper, which was published in German at that time; translated, it reads: At 5:30 on Monday morning, Mr. Theodore Ammann passed away quietly and peacefully, as he had lived, in his sleep at his home on 6th street. The deceased was 81 years old on Dec. 23, and celebrated his golden wedding anniversary with his surviving wife three years before that. He leaves besides his wife, four children: Katharine of Chicago; Agnes, widow of Martin Thompson, also living in Chicago; Joseph and Henry of Kiel. The former has a jewelry store, and the latter a cigar factory and he is the director of the Kiel Arion Band. Three of his children preceded him in death. Besides the four children he leaves 6 grand- children. Mr. Ammann came to Kiel with his wife and three children in 1864. They were an active and happily married pair. With the exception of a few years he has lived here from then on. He was born in the province of Rhine, Germany; served three years as guard in Berlin and there made use of every spare minute to improve his knowledge - especially in music in which he was exceptionally gifted. At this time the Prussian government gave every soldier this educational opportunity without cost. A very intelligent young man, he took advantage of this oppor- tunity, and so it happened that acquired a foundation far above the elementary level. After he had been in Kiel a short time he directed a band, and because of his exceptional tenor voice became an enthusiastic member of the Kiel vocal society. The greatest service rendered by the deceased was the tireless pains he took in his instructions of the members of the youth music group. One can truly say that the quality of the present Kiel Anon Band is largely the result of his efforts, because many of the members were his former pupils. Another quotation from the same source: Mr. Ammann was liberal and tolerant and allowed all of his fellow men to have their own convictions. He was a great friend of nature, raised flowers and bees while he was still strong enough to do so. By trade he was a carpenter and carried on his craft until age compelled him to retire. The life of Mr. Ammann and his family was overall a happy one, and his death is especially painful for Mrs. Ammann (whom he married 54 years previously in Hemmerden, Kreis Reus, Government district Duesseldorf, Germany) since their long life together bound them closely to each other. Yet she and all those he leaves behind may console thmeselves with the knowledge that the deceased leaves a good reputation and lives on in spirit as a truly good man. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. At the open grave the Arion band played in their best manner a l He died March 1, 1913 and was buried in the Kiel Cemetery where the Kiel Anon Band played a last tribute to their former teacher. May he rest in peace next to his daughter Rosa in the Kiel cemetery. His wife died November 1, 1913 and rests beside him. Compiled by Valmer Jack Goltry, June 27, 1983 (Note: Other information states they did not settle in Kiel until 1871 and had lived in the township of Rhine until then. This may be correct rather than the above) ************ Mr. Theodor Ammann Our naturalist friend tended his flowers and bees, as long as he was able. His profession was as a cabinetmaker, and he continued his handwork until his age made him set his tools to rest. The family life of Mr. Theodor Ammann and his family was very happy, and his death is very painful for his wife of nearly 54 years. Mrs. Ammann who was born Miss Gertrud Born in Hemmerden, Kreis Reuss, Regierungsbezirk Dusseldorf, Germany where he lead her to the altar, into a union of such close togetherness. She and the rest of those left behind, want him to be remembered as a good and industrious man of his time and that his spirit lives on. On Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock the burial took place. The Arion-Kapelle (Band) stood around the edge of the open grave, of their highly esteemed master teacher as a final wish for him to rest in peace. Kiel Record — 1913, March 3, 1913

Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, February 05, 1918, Page 4 ******** CITY ORDERS A PROBE INTO DEAD WOMAN’S AFFAIRS To Ask Administrator in Case of Barbara Underle, Found Dead. Woman Said to Have Had Money To the end that the city may be reimbursed for aid given her and for funeral expenses, if it develops that there is any funds, the council last night directed the poor committee to ask an administrator in the death of Barbara Underle, an aged woman found dead in her room at Seventh and York Streets several weeks ago. The city proposes to have an investigation into the case. Mrs. Underle lived alone in an upstairs room of a house occupied by another aged woman. After her death, a son at Milwaukee who came here for the burial, claimed that his mother has a sum of money, reported to be $1,000 sewed in her petticoat but no trace of the money was found. It was said the house had been ransacked. While city officials accept the story of the dead woman having had money with a grain of salt, they believe that an investigation should be made and to this end Chr. Schenian of the Poor committee advised that an administrator be asked for in an effort to locate money or property of the woman if any existed. It was said the cost would be nominal and the council voted to authorize such action. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, March 05, 1918, Page 8

WILLIAM C. ANDERSON cemetery #44 RIVER CLAIMS ITS FIRST VICTIM OF YEAR IN PERSON OF 8 YEAR OLD BOY TODAY Willie Anderson, Son of Andrew Anderson, N. Tenth Street, Falls from Yacht and is Drowned Near Riverview Park at Noon. Body is Recovered The river claimed its first victim of the season today, little Willie Anderson, aged 8, losing his life near Riverview park, by drowning when he fell from the Schuette yacht, which was moored in river and which the Anderson lad with others had boarded. The body was recovered after an hour’s search and dragging of the river. The unfortunate boy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Anderson, residing on North Tenth street. The child had been at the Hansen paint shop on Buffalo street, where his father is employed, fifteen minutes before the fatal accident and had left there to return home. He stopped at the river where a number of boys were playing and joined them. While attempting to walk about the outside railing of the yacht, on a narrow ledge, the Anderson boy lost his balance and was plunged into the river. Frightened by the accident other boys in the party hurried for assistance but when rescuers reached the scene no trace of the missing boy could be found. There is a strong current in the river near where the boy fell in, and it was feared that the body might be carried down river before it could be recovered. Capt. Carle of the police department assisted by Capt. Thomas Olson secured a boat and dragged the river for the body and after nearly an hour of searching, the dead body was found about 70 feet from the spot where playmates of the boy said he had fallen in. When first reports were received it was said that the identity of the boy was not known but later playmates said he was Willie Anderson. The news of the tragedy was a terrible blow to parents of the child and Mrs. Anderson is under care of physicians. The little boy was taken to the undertaking rooms of William Frazier and later will be removed to the stricken home. The accident is the first of the season on the river which annually for several years has claimed one or more lives near where the Anderson boy lost his life. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, June 16, 1917, Page 1 ********* The funeral of Willie Anderson, the young lad who lost his life in the river Saturday, will be held from the home on North Tenth street at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon and from St. Paul’s Lutheran church at 2, Rev.
