GOTTLIEB DAMLER cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 12 Mar. 1903: We have been advised that Gottlieb Damler, our well-known fellow citizen, died this morning. Further details will be published in our Sunday edition. ---------- From Der Nord Westen, 14 Mar. 1903: (Saturday dateline) As we reported briefly on Thurs., Gottlieb Damler, one of the best known residents of our county, has been taken by death. The passing of the old gentleman was unanticipated by his host of friends. He had fallen ill with bronchitis shortly after New Year's and was bedridden for about 8 wks., but since the end of Feb. felt well enough to go to his business and last Mon. noon your editor greeted him as he made his way to his office. Although it was reported that he was weakened by his illness, he felt he would overcome it. Then came a sudden relapse which his weakened body could not fight off and Thurs. morning about 10:30 Mr. Damler closed his eyes in the last long sleep. Gottlieb Damler was born 25 Sep. 1826 in Kaltdorf in the Kingdom of Lippe-Detmold. In 1851 he came to America and settled first in Sheboygan, but the following year moved to Two Rivers. There he established himself as a shoemaker, a profession he followed the rest of his life. In 1864 he married Miss Christine Sachse, his now surviving widow. 7 children were born to the couple of whom 5 are still living - Fritz in St. Paul, Robert and Carl in Milwaukee, August in Manitowoc, and Mrs. Tina Roewekamp in Oshkosh. Mr. Damler took a lively interest in everything concerning the common good, and consequently was given a variety of positions of trust by the people of Two Rivers, which he always administered dutifully. He was elected to the Council of County Supervisors and served several years as Chairman. Then the people of Manitowoc County elected him County Treasurer, an office he held 1877 to 1888, putting the county finances in order and ending the mischief of allowing county obligations to go unpaid for several months. After he gave up that position, for which he had moved to Manitowoc, he established a real estate and finance business in which he retained the full confidence of his fellow citizens. Illness confined him at home the past two years, until Thursday when, as stated above, death claimed its victim. A fine man, who in every endeavor brought trust and confidence, has been lost in the passing of Gottlieb Damler. The funeral will take place tomorrow (Sun.) at 2 p.m. from the funeral home at 714 Hancock St.
HARRY DAMLER cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 07 July 1904: The first victim of the season to be claimed by the Manitowoc River happened Sat. morning. 12-yr. old Harry Damler went swimming near the glue factory with his playmate Louis Taugher. The boys jumped into the water and as Taugher, an accomplished swimmer, swam into the river, Damler tried to follow him although he was less skilled in the water. Whether he sustained a cramp, or whether he got into deep water and lost his ability to swim, it is difficult to say. Taugher heard a cry for help and turned to see his comrade sink below the surface. In response to Taugher’s cry for help, Joseph Stupecky came from the glue factory and as he realized what happened, jumped into the river and tried to find Damler. He was unable to locate him and the police were notified. The drowned boy’s father is August Damler, who resides at 922 S. 12th St. and works in the shipyard of the Burger Bros. He was called away from work, but nothing more could be done until Capt. Carle came to the site with grappling irons. After quite awhile the body was pulled from the river and all lifesaving measures were undertaken in vain. The boy’s shocked father then went home to prepare the boy’s mother for the arrival of the body. The funeral, for this boy taken so early in life, was held Tuesday. Our deepest sympathies to the parents. ********* [bur. 07-05-1904/cause: drowning]

We are called upon to chronicle the sad news of the death of Mrs. Annie Danforth, wife of Wm. Danforth, after patient suffering for three years of consumption. She breathed her last on the morning of the 10th inst. About a year ago she was partially deprived of speech, conversing only in a whisper. Her sickness baffled the skill of many physicians both at home and abroad. Everything was done by her husband for her relief, but to no avail. God saw fit to call one of his children home. She lived an exemplary Christian life, and was a dutiful wife, kind mother, and esteemed and loved by all who knew her. All those intimately acquainted with her feel that they have lost a true friend who cannot be replaced in this community. The funeral services were performed on the 12th inst. by Rev. Mr. Siers, of Plymouth. The text was chosen from Revelations, 14th chap. 13th verse: "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."

THERESA DASSLER cemetery #14 (sent by family researcher/see contributor page) Theresa Dassler Obit With the death of Mrs. Theresa (Grandma) Dassler, 91 at 7 p.m. Sunday, the village of Centerville lost its "oldest citizen". Mrs. Dassler, a pioneer in this country, celebrated her 91st birthday last August 25. She has been ill for some time. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the home where she died, and burial will be made in the Saxon cemetery with the Rev. Carl Schmahl officiating. Mrs. Dassler, nee Theresa Hedrich, was born Aug 25, 1845, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Hedrich. At the time her family lived at Saxonweimer, Germany. Her parents, herself and six brothers and sisters came to America when she was seven years of age. Her youngest sister at that time was an infant of but three weeks. Trip to America After a perilous voyage of nine weeks the family landed at Philadelphia and for two years they lived in Pennsylvania, moving to Wisconsin in 1854. Their trip to Wisconsin was made by boat through the Great Lakes. Upon their arrival in Sheboygan at the little wooden pier they moved to a tract of land located about four miles west of the present site of Centerville on the Union road. At the age of 15, Mrs. Dassler went to Superior where she did housework. Her earnings supported both her and her brother who was sending his monthly earnings from work in the mines to the family. Marriage and Family When she was 20, Miss Hedrich became Mrs. Ernest Dassler. He preceeded her in death in 1913. To Mr. and Mrs. Dassler were born seven children, three of whom are living. The living are Mrs. (Alma) F.A. Jawort, Centerville; Mrs. (Anna) Gustave Bahr, Milwaukee, and Oscar of the village of Newton. Those preceeding their mother in death were: Mrs. Ida Hintz, who died December 10,1914; Herman, passing away on June 6, 1919; Louis on June 14, 1925 and Frank on August 6, 1934. In addition to raising her own family of seven children, Grandma Dassler also reared three grand-children, Victor and Edna Dassler, the latter now Mrs. Ed Karstedt of Milwaukee, and Althea Bahr, the present Mrs. Matthewson. Victor Dassler died in 1920. Descendants of Mrs. Dassler also include a host of grandchildren, nephews, nieces and thirteen great-grandchildren. Proud of Her Garden One of the points of pride in Centerville was Grandma Dassler's garden. Her philosophy of life was simple, but one that sounded a note of encouragement to those who were apt to feel that life had been rather severe with them. "Contentment," said Mrs. Dassler, "is the keynote of happiness, and one can be happy in a hovel or a palace providing the mind thinks of the pleasanter and more worthwhile things of life instead of dwelling on hardships." Regardless of your misfortune Mrs. Dassler beleived that you can always find some one who is having just a little bit harder time than you have. Until a year ago, Grandma Dassler had enjoyed the best of health, but on April 24, 1933, she had the misfortune of falling and injuring her hip and as a result was unable to walk for a long time. On Mrs. Dassler's fifty-sixth bithday, which occurred thirty-three years ago, her daughter, now Mrs. F.A. Jawort, was wed.
