MATILDA BROST cemetery #57 Mrs. Matilda Brost, another old pioneer settler of this town was called to answer the final roll on Monday at about half past six o'clock in the evening. She had been ill for many weeks and death came as a blessing to relieve her of all earthly pain and suffering. She died at the home of her son, Nick Brost, where she made her home for the past years. Mrs. Brost attained the age of 73 years and 7 months. She was known to have been a good and loving mother and to others was often the "friend in need". Funeral services were held in the Trinity Catholic church at School Hill and interment took place in the cemetery adjoining. Manitowoc Pilot, Notes from School Hill, April 11, 1912
NICKOLAUS BROST cemetery #57 Nicolaus was born Jan. 24, 1857 in the Town of Meeme of John Brost and Anna Kasper. He died March 2, 1916 and is buried at Holy Trinity, School Hill, Town of Meeme. He died from “carcinoma of the bladder, one year”. ******** Nicolaus Brost and Magdalena Stein were married Sept. 11, 1883 at St. Wendel, Town of Meeme. There is some question as to if this marriage took place on Sept. 11, 1884. I believe the 1883 date is correct. That is because the marriage record in the court house is placed with other records from 1883, with none showing for 1884 until later in the records. ******* (Note: His picture is in the glass negative photos)
