HENRY BURGER cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 27 June 1907: Death yesterday, following a long illness, of Henry Burger, who until a few years ago was one of the most eminent industrialists in our city… Mr. Burger was born 21 December 1839 in Germany and came to America with his parents as a 7-year old boy. The family settled in the State of New York from where the lad went toward the northwest when he was 17. He came to Wisconsin, worked for a while on a farm near Waukesha, and then went to Milwaukee to work at the old Wolf Shipyard where he built his reputation as a shipbuilder. Early in 1863 he came to Manitowoc to begin shipbuilding here. On 04 November of that same year he married Miss Mary Esslinger, daughter of then postmaster Charles Esslinger, his now surviving widow. Shipbuilding was increasing here and many steamships and sailing ships were built here every year. Mr. Burger associated himself in 1873 with Mr. Green Rand, and the firm of Rand & Burger quickly became first in local shipbuilding. The Goodrich Transit Co. had them build their steamships and they also built vessels for local and outside firms. Mr. Rand died in 1886 at which time Mr. Burger associated with his nephew, George Burger, and continued the firm under the name Burger & Burger. In 1887 this firm acquired the local dry dock which they enlarged and improved. The firm earned the reputation of being one of the best and most competent ship- building firms in the industry, but during this time wooden ships were no longer needed and the construction of ships with steel became general. Mr. Burger sold the Burger & Burger firm in 1902 to what is now the Manitowoc Dry Dock Co., and retired after 40 years of activity. A few weeks ago he caught a cold which the doctors were unable to cure and from which he grew steadily weaker leading to his death yesterday… His death is mourned by his widow and 2 adopted daughters, Mrs. A. Mueller in Milwaukee, and Miss Emma Burger here, as well as a sister Mrs. Margarethe Wolf in Seattle, Washington, and his nephews Geo. and Henry Burger, Jr., here. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the funeral home on the corner of 9th and Hamilton Streets. ************ From Der Nord Westen, 04 July 1907: Mr. and Mrs. A. Moeller of Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burmeister of Terre Haute, Indiana, and Arthur Esslinger and his daughter of Danville, Illinois, were here to attend the funeral of Henry Burger.
