BERTHA CARUS   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 26 May 1887:
Death of Miss Bertha Carus, daughter of Fritz Carus, on 11 May in
Manitowoc. The young lady who was not quite 18 years old, died of diphtheria.


CAPT. EDWARD CARUS   cemetery #44

(By Capt. Edward Carus)
The above picture, taken of the lower harbor here in 1887, was a common 
one in the local harbor in the seventies and eighties, with vessels in 
the harbor loaded with forest products from Wisconsin enroute to the 
Chicago and Milwaukee market. These vessels, encountering strong head 
winds put into the harbor here for shelter. As soon as the wind shifted 
they all got under way for their destination.
The vessel lying broadside in the harbor was the Mediterranean. A few 
years before, on Sunday, June 22, 1871, this same vessel arrived here 
from Buffalo, New York, with a locomotive on her deck. This locomotive 
came here by water as did most of the inhabitants in those days. Since 
the railroad has been built many people who were born in Manitowoc and 
died here of old age were never out on the lake, but every year people 
from the south and west come to the lakes purposely to make a trip on 
the water.
The locomotive which came on the vessel was named "Ben Jones" in honor 
of Manitowoc's foremost citizen of that time. It was a great day for 
Manitowoc, the whole town turned out and lined the docks at North Sixth 
street where the vessel was lying. The next day the vessel was towed up 
river into the corner near the ship yard gate. Then the locomotive was 
jacked and blocked up, rails were placed on the schooner's rail leading 
to the yards and the Ben Jones was eased off into the railroad yards. 
In the picture may be seen the old wooden Eight street bridge with the 
hog trusses to strengthen it. This bridge was replaced about 1890 by an 
iron swing bridge and again a few years ago with the present one. East 
of the bridge may be seen the old city elevator built by subscription 
and sold to the William Rahr's Sons Co., and moved to their plant.

MRS. C.E. CARY, WIFE OF EX-SHERIFF, 
PASSES AWAY AFTER ILLNESS OF LESS THAN ONE WEEK 
Mrs. Charles E. Cary, wife of ex-Sheriff Cary and sister of Dr. J.E. 
Meany, died this morning after a very brief illness at her home on 
North Seventh street. Her death comes as a severe shock to many friends 
who did not know of her illness. 
Mrs. Cary, who was born at Stuebensville, O., March 27, 1860, came to 
this city from Reedsville on her husband's election as clerk of the 
court in 1904 and has since resided here. During the public life of 
her husband she was brought in contact with many people and every 
acquaintance became a friend. Every form of human suffering appealed 
to her sympathetic nature and the spur of every effort of her life 
was an unselfish desire to administer to the care and comfort of others. 
She was an officer and active member of the local anti-tuberculosis 
association and of the various women's societies of Sacred Heart 
congregation. She was a most devoted member of her church whose 
principle she faithfully exemplified in her daily life. Besides her 
sorrowing husband there survives in her immediate family, her daughter, 
Grace McCullough, teaching at Kaukauna, and Dr. Edwin Cary of Reedsville 
and Leola Cary, teaching at Sioux City, Ia. Three brothers, Tom and James 
of Reedsville, and Dr. Meany of this city, and two sisters, Cecelia of

JOHN E. CASHMAN  (d. 1946)  cemetery #16

John Cashman, Senator, Is Dead
Succombs Last Night After Brief Illness; In Politics 25 Years
State Senator John R.(sic) Cashman, 80, of route 1, Denmark, a power 
in state and national politics for a quarter of a century, who only 
last April withdrew from the race for senator from the first district, 
died at 8 o'clock last night at the Holy Family hospital.
Senator Cashman, who for the past year has resided in this city with his 
son, Attorney John R. Cashman, had been a patient at the hospital for a 
month. Failing health prompted him to withdraw his name from the list of 
primary candidates this spring.
Six candidates, four from this county, seek Senator Cashman's seat in the 
state senate as representative of the district which comprises Manitowoc, 
Kewaunee and Door counties. His term expires at the end of 1946.
Funeral services for Senator Cashman will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at 
the St. James Catholic church, Cooperstown of which congregation he was 
a member. Burial will be in the adjoining cemetery.
A leader in the ranks of the Progressive party ever since its founding, 
Senator Cashman was the author of much important legislation enacted at 
Madison while he represented this district in the upper house. He was 
first elected in 1922, and except for a two year span has represented 
the district ever since.
Started Politics in 1922
Born in 1865 on a farm in Franklin, Kewaunee county, which his father 
purchased from the government, he was educated in the public schools of 
his district and later attended Valparaiso university and the Chicago Law 
school.
After teaching in Kewaunee and Brown counties he became an inspector for 
the United States bureau of animal husbandry at Chicago in 1901. From 1903 
to 1919 he served on the staff of the United States bureau of internal 
revenue and then returned to his farm in Kewaunee county. He was first 
elected to the state senate in 1922 and was one of the LaFollette delegates 
to the national Republican convention at Cleveland in 1924.
Always active in education, Senator Cashman was appointed to the board of 
regents of the University of Wisconsin by Governor Blaine, serving six 
years.
Author of Legislation
In his long tenure in the upper house at Madison Senator Cashman was the 
author of far-reaching laws, including the present highway law, the 15-cent 
tax on oleomargarine, brought forward as a protection to the state's dairy 
interests, and the farm woodlot law.
Senator Cashman was also the author of the law enacted in 1933, when beer 
came back, which provides that all beer sold in Wisconsin must be made from 
barley. The Cashman highway law, enacted in 1931, provides for raising funds 
for highway improvements out of the gas tax and motor license fees. The farm 
woodlot law exempts from taxation farm woodlands.
The senator led a fight in the legislature to secure passage of a resolution, 
which provides for elimination of what the senator charged was foreign 
propaganda in the school histories of state institutions of learning.
In the fall of 1936 Mr. Cashman won the Democratic nomination for congress 
in the eighth district, but was defeated by the late George Schneider, 
Appleton Progressive. He served out the remainder of his senate term and
(Continured on Page 2, Co. 1)
JOHN CASHMAN, SENATOR, DEAD
(Continured from Page One)
in 1938 again ran for congress on the Democratic ticket. This election was 
won by Joshua John, Algoma Republican.
Filled Unexpired Term
When Francis Yindra of this city, named to the Cashman vacancy in the senate, 
resigned in 1939 to accept a federal post, Senator Cashman was again named 
for the unexpired term. In 1942 he was elected again for the full four year 
term.
In addition to his membership in the St. James church at Cooperstown, he was 
also a member of the Holy Name society and of the Knights of Columbus of Algoma.
On Sept. 15, 1896, Senator Cashman married Miss Sophie Duaime of Lawrence, 
Brown county. She preceded him in death June 10, 1907.
Attorney John R. Cashman of this city, a son, is the only survivor.
The body is at the Wochos funeral home in Denmark, where it may be viewed after 
7 o'clock this evening.

Robert Casper, Prominent Kiel Resident, Is Summoned
Kiel – (Special) – Robert F. Casper, former acting mayor and a veteran public 
official, died suddenly today at his home, 315 St. Paul street. He was 76.
A resident of Kiel for 60 years, Mr. Casper was a leader in civic, community

He served seven terms as an alderman, from 1929-43, was a past president of the 
city council and was elected acting mayor on the resignation of Mayor Elmer Berth 
in 1944.
Because of failing health he served only the unexpired term of his predecessor.

Born April 10, 1875, in Pommern, Germany, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Casper,
he came to the United States – directly to Kiel – when he was 16 years old.
A week after his arrival here Mr. Casper sought work with the Wooden Ware company, 
a young cheese box industry, managed by the late Adolph Mesch.
Employed in the yards at first, he later was placed in the round box department 
and in 1910 was promoted to foreman.  In the meantime he attended night school and, 
with the help of a young priest, learned the English language.
For 33 years he served as foreman in the box department, then in 1936 was appointed 
plant superintendent.  He retired in 1940 after 55 years with the firm.
Active in church affairs, Mr. Casper served as Sunday school superintendent of Ss. 
Peter and Paul Evangelical and Reformed church for 18 years, was a deacon and elder 
for many years, a member of the senior choir and the former Maennerchor.
A member of the Kiel Building and Loan association, he had been president of the 
association since its organization 31 years ago.
His marriage to Augusta Jaschob was performed at Kiel on October 14, 1897, by the 
late Rev. John Roeck, then pastor of Ss. Peter and Paul Evangelical Reformed church.
They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1947.
Survivors are his wife; one son, Walter, Kiel; a brother, Paul, Fond du Lac; a sister, 
Mrs. Martha Backhaus, Howards Grove; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
A daughter, Mrs. Isadore (Edna) Klauck, preceded him in death on January 16, 1935.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Ss. Peter and Paul Evangelical 
and Reformed church, with the Rev. E. L. Worthman, pastor, officiating.  Burial will 
be in the Kiel cemetery.
The body will lie in state at the Meiselwitz Funeral home from 2 p.m. Friday until
