CLARENCE FISCHER   cemetery #79

From Der Nord Westen, 01 Sep. 1904: 
An extremely unfortunate accident occurred last Thurs. in 
Town Kossuth. Louis Fischer operates a cheese factory there. 
The family lives above the factory. On that day, Mrs. Fischer 
left her 18-mo. old child alone for a moment to help her 
husband with his work. She heard a terrible cry of fear from 
the child and returned to the living quarters to find her baby 
engulfed in flames. It appears that the child had found a pair 
of her father’s old pants in which he had left matches in the 
pocket. The child found them, lit them and the clothing was set 
on fire. The mother put out the flames while the father drove 
his buggy the 8 miles to Manitowoc seeking help. Before the 
doctor could reach the place, death had claimed the little child.

25 and that's the "last Thurs" in the obit.)

NICOLAUS FISHBACH   cemetery #44

Nicolaus Fischbach had a tragic life which seems to stem from his time spent 
in the war. He enlisted as a private in Company "E", 35th Regiment Wisconsin 
Infantry in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on December 31, 1863 for a three year 
period. He was mustered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and paid a $60 bounty. The 
roll recorded his name as Nicholas Fishback, born in Germany, occupation of 
farmer, age of 24, blue eyes, brown hair, height 5 ft. 7 in. and fair complexion. 
Sept. 2, 1864 they listed him as a deserter at St. Charles, Arkansas, but he was 
actually in a hospital at Memphis, Tennessee and voluntarily returned to duty on 
Dec. 23, 1864. He is then listed as a deserter on March 2, 1865 at Mobile Point, 
Alabama. According to his pension files, he walked all the way from Alabama back 
to Centerville still wearing his uniform. On the 1870 Federal Population Census 
for the Town of Centerville, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin page 39 (stamped 42) he 
was enumerated with his brother-in-law's family, Nicolaus Braun, line 4 through 
12. They took care of him until he was later committed to the Manitowoc County
