AMALIA EBERHARDT  1840-1920  cemetery #44

Sent in by a family researcher/see contributors page
DIE WAHRHEIT (German newspaper, Manitowoc County) 17 February 1920 
[translated from German]
On Wednesday, Mrs Amelia Eberhardt, widow of August Eberhardt, died of 
senility in the home of her daughter, Mrs Emma Aastaad.  The deceased, 
whose maiden name was Amelia Mundt, was born 80 years ago in Nordhausen, 
Germany, and came to America at the age of seven with her parents, who 
settled in the town of Newton.  At twenty, she married August Eberhardt, 
who died seven years ago.  First, the couple managed a farm in the town of
Newton and, later, in Four Corners; next, they moved to Manitowoc for many
years.  After the death of her husband, Mrs Eberhardt moved in with her 
previously mentioned daughter.  She leaves behind six children, fourteen 
grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.  The funeral is on Saturday 
afternoon from the German Methodist Church.

(Mrs Amelia Eberhardt), 80, DEAD; SHOCK HASTENS THE END
Recent Death of Daughter a Blow of the Aged Woman
Mrs Amelia Eberhardt, widow of August Eberhardt, died at the home of her 
daughter Mrs Emma Aasted, 1103 South Twelfth street, last evening at the 
advanced age of 80 years.  Death was due to infirmities incidental to old 
age and was probably hastened by the sudden death three months ago of a 
twin sister of Mrs Aasted, who passed away at Washington D C after a brief
illness.  The shock to the mother was severe and she never fully recovered
from it.
Mrs Eberhardt, who was Miss Amelia Mund before her marriage, was born in 
Nordhausen, Germany, and at the age of seven came to this country with her
parents, coming to Manitowoc county to locate.  At the age of twenty she 
was married to August Eberhardt, who preceded her in death seven years. 
After her marriage the family made their homes on farms in Newton and then
purchased the Eberhardt place at the Four Corners, the farm which is now 
owned and operated by Henry, one of the sons.  A number of years ago the 
couple removed to this city and erected a fine home on Michigan avenue, 
where they lived until the demise of the husband.  Since that time Mrs. 
Eberhardt has been making her home with her daughter.
Six children survive Mrs Eberhardt.  They are Henry, Charles and William, 
Mrs William Sampe, Mrs Richard Rudolph, and Mrs Edward Aasted.  Besides 
the children, fourteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren and one 
brother, Gottfried Mund, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, survive.
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon from the late home at 1:30 
and service will be held at the German Methodist church.  The service will
be in charge of Rev Schellhase.  Interment will be at Evergreen.

the town of Manitowoc Rapids, and managed it until he moved to the city of

PIONEER RESIDENT ANSWERS DEATH'S CALL
PARALYSIS WHICH HE SUFFERED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HASTENS DEATH OF WELL 
KNOWN RESIDENT
August Eberhardt, pioneer settler and one of the best known residents of 
the county, answered death's summons to rest at his home on Michigan 
Avenue at 6 o'clock this morning, death being directly due to a stroke of 
paralysis which Mr Eberhardt suffered some time ago and from which he 
never recovered, though he had been confined to his bed only a short time.
Mr Eberhardt was 72 years of age.
Mr Eberhardt's death was peaceful and, surrounded by members of his family
and conscious to the last, he quietly passed to his rest, closing a life 
that had been characterized by industry that brought well merited success.
The death of Mr Eberhardt will bring a pang of regret to many who knew him
and who knew his worth as man and friend.
Coming to Manitowoc county with his parents and brothers in 1852, at the 
age of 13, Mr Eberhardt carved his own success and by dint of hard work 
and business sagacity amassed a competency that in the closing days of his
life had made him independent.  For years Mr Eberhardt was one of the 
prominent farmers of the county, retiring sixteen years ago when he 
removed to this city where he has since resided on Michigan avenue.
Mr Eberhardt was a native of Germany and was born at Hagenburg, Hannover, 
January 22, 1839.  His boyhood days up to the time he was 13 were spent 
there.  In 1852 the Eberhardt family located on a farm in the town of 
Newton, where Mr Eberhardt continued to reside until after his marriage 
November 28, 1860, to Amalia Mundt.  Thirty years ago Mr Eberhardt 
purchased the old McAllister farm in the town of Rapids, said to be one of
the first farms laid out in the county and which is today one of the most 
valuable.  Sixteen years ago Mr Eberhardt removed to the city.
Besides his wife, Mr Eberhardt is survived by seven children, Mrs Wm Sampe
and Henry Eberhardt, town of Rapids; Mrs Richard Rudolph, Mrs E Aastad, 
Charles Eberhardt, this city; Mrs William O'Hara, of Washington D C; and 
William, town of Manitowoc.  Two brothers, Henry and Ernst also survive.
Mr Eberhardt was a devoted husband and indulgent father and found his 
chief happiness in life in his home, surrounded by his children, who 
gathered frequently for family reunions.  He had the respect of neighbors 
and friends and was prominent in the business affairs of the community.
The funeral of Mr Eberhardt will be held from the German M E church 
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

AMBROSE EBERLE   cemetery #21

In Loving Memory of 
Village Head of St. Nazianz Dies at Home
Ambrose Eberle Was Supervisor Past 22 Years
St. Nazianz- Ambrose Eberle, 64, civic leader and first president of the
village of St. Nazianz, collapsed in his garden at 5:30 p.m. Saturday
and died before aid reached him. He had been working in the garden when
Miss Luanne Madson, neighboring high school student, saw him fall. She
immediately went for help but Eberle was dead by the time men from the
neighborhood picked him up and carried him into the house. Although he
had suffered a slight heart attack some time ago he apparently was in
good health to the time of the seizure.
A member of the Manitowoc County Board for the past 22 1/2 years, he 
had been chairman of the Town of Eaton for 21 years prior to the incorp-
oration of the village of St. Nazianz. He was chairman of the Lions
committee that investigated and sponsored the incorporation of the
village and for his untiring efforts was not only elected first president
of the village but was reelected this year. He was also the president-
elect of the Lions Club and was to have been installed in office this
week.
He had also served as the town clerk for 5 years, was chairman of the
Manitowoc County Highway Committee for 15 years, was chief ranger for
the St. Nazianz chapter of the Catholic Order of Foresters for many
years and was assistant cashier of the St. Nazianz State Bank.
Headed for Company
Mr. Eberle was the organizer and for many years served as president of
the St. Nazianz Silver Fox Co. during the heyday years of the fur
business. He was chairman of the building committee for the present St.
Gregory Community Center and was on the committee for the diamond
jubilee of the village and again for the centennial. At the recent Home
show sponsored by the Lions Club, Eberle, then vice president, fried
sausages at the club stand for a straight eight hour period.
His death is the second within a month involving a county board member.
Charles Wenzel, representing the village of Reedsville died in a Green 
Bay hospital recently of injuries suffered in an automobile accident in 
Brillion. Eberle's death means the Board will have 15 new members this 
year. There were 13 new men elected on the spring ballot and a 14th was 
named to replace Wenzel.
The village board of St. Nazianz will meet Monday night in emergency
session to draft a message of condolence and proclaim a business holiday 
the morning of the Eberle funeral. The board is expected to make an 
announcement on replacement shortly.
Funeral Wednesday
Funeral services will be at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Gregory Catholic 
Church when the Rev. Denis Cooney, assisted by two other priests and not 
yet selected, will sing a solemn requiem high Mass. Burial will be in the 
church cemetery.
The body will lie in state at the St. Gregory Community Center after 7 p.m. 
Monday with recitation of the Rosary scheduled by the Catholic Order of 
Foresters at 8:30 o'clock this Monday evening and at 8 p.m. Tuesday by the 
Holy Name Society. Mr. Eberle was born Oct. 18, 1892 at St. Nazianz, son of 
the late Frank and Caroline Sommer Eberle, and lived in St. Nazianz all his 
life. On Sept. 25, 1916, he married the former Ella Miller at St. Nazianz 
and the couple moved to a farm just outside the village. She died in 1924.
In 1948 he moved to a new home he had built in the village and on Jan. 22, 
1951, he married the former Mrs. Elrosa Sproll Filz. He  was a member of 
the Holy Name Society of St. Gregory Church. Survivors include his wife; a 
son, Roger of Milwaukee; and a sister, Sr. M. Calla, O.S.S. of Milwaukee.

STANLEY ECKELS    cemetery #44

DEATH CLAIMS WELL KNOWN BUSINESSMAN-
Stanley D. Eckels, Head of The Northern Produce Co., Dies Early Today-
Stanley D. Eckels, 60, head of the Northern Wisconsin Produce Company and prominent 
in public and fraternal life in Manitowoc for nearly 40 years, died early today at 
the home, 1202 Huron street.
Mr. Eckels had been in poor health for several months, although his condition did 
not become critical until seven weeks ago. He was at Milwaukee hospital under the 
care of specialists and returned to his home here a short time ago.
Funeral Wednesday-
Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2:30, p.m. from the home, with the 
Rev. C.H. Phipps of the First Presbyterian church officiating. Burial will be in 
Evergreen cemetery.
Coming to Manitowoc at the turn of the century from Port Washington, Mr. Eckels 
became identified with grain companies here and later founded the cold storage 
business which he managed in recent years. He was also prominent in butter, egg 
and dairy organizations throughout the United States, having been chosen president 
of the National Poultry and Egg Association at Chicago last September.
Although his business interests occupied most of his time he served three terms 
on the Board of Education, was a leader in the Association of Commerce and later 
the Chamber of Commerce, and at numerous times declined efforts of friends and 
supporters to have him become a candidate for mayor.
He was born in LaCrosse in 1880, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Eckels. A few 
years later his parents moved to Port Washington where he attended high school. 
He was still in high school at the time of the Spanish-American war in 1897, and 
at the age of 17 helped organize Company L in Port Washington. He secured the 
ranking of top sergeant and the company was mustered in at Milwaukee. Before the 
unit could be moved into active service the war ended.
Following his graduation from the Port Washington High School Mr. Eckels took a 
course in a Milwaukee business college. After three years with the Cargill Grain 
Company in Green Bay he came to Manitowoc in 1901.
Organized Produce Company-He was first connected with the Northern Grain Company 
in Manitowoc. He left this company in 1908 and organized the Northern Wisconsin 
Produce Company. He was president and manager of this company at the time of his 
death. The firm gradually expanded its business in the packing of eggs, and handled 
cheese, butter, dairy supplies and farm products. A few years ago the Manitowoc 
Refrigerating Company was organized by the officers of the parent company. A modern 
plant was erected at Clark and South 14th streets.
Mr. Eckels took an active interest in the advancement of the industrial interests 
of the city. He was one of the organizers of the Association of Commerce 25 years
