COL. CASPER FLEISCHER   cemetery 89A

Manitowoc Co. Chronicle, June 25, 1872 

Death of Col. Caspar Fleischer.  Col. Caspar Fleischer is no more.
  Although since February last he had been confined to his room, most 
of the time on a bed of sickness, and we some of us were afraid that 
it would prove his last, when on Tuesday evening the 18th of June, 
we heard he had ceased to live, the whole community was cast into gloom.    
  For twenty-one years, nearly a quarter of a century, he had been one 
of the landmarks of this little hamlet.  Of a fine noble presence, with
a hand as "open to charity as the day," a spirit of enterprise that has
left behind him many monuments in the adornment and substantial improvement
of the place, a genial sociability that made friends of all, no one could 
have been called who would be more sadly missed or sincerely mourned.  
Even his faults - who has them not? - were such as sometimes grow out 
of true nobility of character and a purely unselfish nature.  His 
virtues were many, and will be gratefully treasured in the remembrance
of his friends here and in the Fatherland.

AUGUSTA FRANSWAY   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 02 July 1903:
Death from a stroke on Thurs. last week of Mrs. Frank Fransway, 
a former resident of our city, in Pikeshill, N.Y., where she 
was visiting. The deceased, (nee Auguste Rosinsky), was born in 
Manitowoc 35 yrs. ago but has been living for several years in 
Oshkosh. She is survived by her husband and 2 children and here 
in Manitowoc by her sorrowing father and a brother. The body was 
brought here and committed to the ground on Sunday.
*******
(Note: Since the ages don't match, I called the cemetery office and here is
what she said:
[The entry you have from the tombstone is on the same lot as the entry I have, 
so I have to assume they are the same person and that the tombstone is incorrect, 
since she probably didn't die the year after she was buried. The original burial 
register from 1903 says she is age 54 and that she died of apoplexy. There is no 
other information. She is buried on the same lot as Francis Fransway (1845-1910).
I am going to assume that she was born sometime between 1849 (based on age) and 
1852 (marker date), which would make sense since she would be a few years younger 
than Francis. The obituary sounds like it could be her, except for the age, so I 
am thinking there is a typo, maybe they transposed the age (35 instead of 53) or 
it should have been 55 instead of 35. I just looked in the Lot Diagram book for 
and I see that the lot was originally purchased by William Rosinsky and was paid 
for 6/3/1903. So now I definitely think it's her and there is just a typo in the 
obit./Augusta Fransway/bur. 06-28-1903/age 54 yrs./cause: apoplexy/lot purchased 
by William Rosinsky and was paid for 6/3/1903.]

JOHN FRANZ   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 01 Oct. 1903: (Saturday dateline)
What has been long expected occurred yesterday with the death of John Franz 
whom we had reported as having suffered a stroke several weeks ago. One had 
hoped that Mr. Franz would overcome the illness and be returned to his former 
health, but that hope went unfulfilled as he grew weaker and weaker until his 
death yesterday (Friday). John Franz was one of the best known and eminent
residents of our county. He was born 15 Nov. 1832 in Hockelheim, Kreis Wetzlar, 
and after his marriage came to America in 1856, arriving in this county on 
02 July, and settled in Two Rivers. There he was employed in one of the several 
factories until 1864 when he lost an arm in an accident and had to give up his 
position. In 1865 the residents of Two Rivers elected Mr. Franz to the office 
of Village Treasurer, a position he filled for several years. In 1868 he was 
elected Registrar and moved to Manitowoc where he lived ever since. He filled 
that office until 1878 when he and his son established a land and loan office 
under the name Franz, Schmitz & Co. where he worked until his illness. Mr. Franz, 
who belonged to the Order of Odd Fellows and to the United Old Workers, is 
survived by his widow as well as 3 daughters -Mrs. Fritz Beeker, Mrs. A.J. Schmitz, 
and Mrs. Dr. W.G. Kemper, as well as numerous grandchildren. The above mentioned 
son died 8 yrs. ago. The funeral will be held Mon. afternoon at 2 p.m. from the 
funeral home at 917 Jay Street.
**********
From Der Nord Westen, 08 Oct. 1903:
The funeral of John Franz, whose passing we reported in our Sat. edition, was attended
by an extraordinarily large number of mourners, a testimonial to the esteem which the
deceased enjoyed in our city. Pastor Gray delivered the funeral oration. The German
Odd Fellows Lodge and the vocal groups "Freier Sängerbund" and "Concordia" gave last
honors to their departed brother. The rites of the Odd Fellow's Order were observed at
graveside and the singing groups delivered a dirge. Among the immediate family
members attending the funeral was Mrs. John Mehl of Milwaukee, the deceased's
only sister. Mr. Mehl is in Germany at this time and could not attend. We wish to add
to our biography of the deceased; he had also served for many years as a member of the
Democratic Congressional District Committees and of the State Central Committees.

From Der Nord Westen, 19 Mar. 1896: 
Unanticipated sudden death early Sat. morning of John Franz, Jr., 
the only son of our prominent citizen, Mr. John Franz. The deceased 
had been ill for 4 weeks with rheumatic fever and although it is 
painful, it is seldom fatal. On the evening before his death he was 
feeling so well that it was hoped he would be fully recovered in a 
few days. During the night he was restless and about 10 o’clock, Dr. 
Kemper was called. After Dr. Kemper arrived, the young man’s temperature 
registered 107, then increased to 107-1/2, 108, and finally at 108-1/2 
degrees. The doctor summoned the family in anticipation of death, which 
occurred at 2 a.m. John Franz, Jr. was born in Two Rivers 25 Aug. 1861 
and came to Manitowoc when his father moved here following his election. 
After leaving school, he studied leather crafting with Mr. H. Schmiedecke 
here in Manitowoc, for whom he worked 4 yrs. He then went to Minnesota 
and worked for a year before returning here and working in the real estate
and insurance business that his father had established. The deceased was 
married to a daughter of Mr. Frank Zeman, a marriage that produced 2 
children – ages 7 and 9. He is also survived by three married sisters. 
The funeral took place Tues. afternoon with a long funeral procession.

RICHARD C. FRANZ, Sr.   cemetery #33

Richard C. (Dick) Franz Sr., age 69, of Manitowoc, entered into eternal 
rest Wednesday morning, Dec. 25, 2002 at his residence following a 
lengthy illness.
He was born Aug. 27, 1933 in Manitowoc County, son of the late Emil H. and 
Louise (Kiel) Franz. Dick married (his wife) at Rockwood Evangelical Lutheran 
Church on Oct. 8, 1955. The couple made their home in the Mishicot area for 
many years, moving to Manitowoc in 1995.
Dick was educated at Shoto School District No. 4 of the town of Two Rivers, 
Mishicot High School, the University of Wisconsin Short Course, Manitowoc 
Teacher's College, Silver Lake College and was a graduate of UW-Oshkosh, with 
a degree in elementary education and a minor in art. He taught at the Shoto 
School and later Pleasant View School until consolidation closed the one-room 
schools. He then taught at the Central School in Mishicot for one year. Following 
this, he gave up teaching to go into business for himself, starting in the 
upholstery trade. Tendonitis forced him to give up upholstery and continue his 
business career in woodworking, retiring in 1995. Also during the years he was 
in business, he spent 17 years as a janitor at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran 
Church in Mishicot. He also drove buses for the Mishicot schools for several years.
Devoting most of his life to conservation activities and efforts, Dick has done 
his part in making the earth a better place, planting trees and helping to 
preserve wildlife. In 1960, he purchased a run-down 100-acre farm where he 
remodeled the house, built a new barn, planted 72,500 trees and placed 40 acres 
under the old Forest Crop Law for 50 years. The rest of the land was used for 
Christmas trees, a pond for wildlife and fish and wildlife plants and cover. The 
Mishicot Sportsman's Club built pheasant pens for 600 birds on Dick's land and 
raised them for 10 years. He convinced more than 87 farmers to permit planting 
of the birds. It was during these same years that the club bought and developed 
what is now known as the Mishicot Sportsman's Park on Jambo Creek. Dick was 
involved in the development of the park and spent hundreds of unrecorded hours 
working on the club grounds and forest, as well as many hours with state, county 
and town officials to help with the growth of the club and the grounds. He 
promoted fund-raisers for the club to help in construction of the building on 
the grounds. He also designed the first bridge at Jambo Creek and assisted with 
the establishment of a wildlife pond with an island in the middle and a wood duck 
house on it in this area. Dick loved to cook at special events and some of the 
meetings. He made special grills from hot water heaters and cattle watering tanks 
to handle the large amounts of chicken and corn grilled. Dick became a lifetime 
member of the Mishicot Club around 1975.
Dick was secretary of the Manitowoc County Fish and Game Protective Association 
during 1963-1964. Other sportsmen's clubs he was involved with over the years 
were Shoto Conservation Club, Westshore Sportsmen's Club, Larrabee Sportsmen's 
Club, Kelly Lake Sportsmen's Club, Klondike Sportsmen's Club and Pine River 
Sportsmen's Club. Dick was also a member of the Wisconsin Sportsmen, North American 
Hunting Club, National Rifle Association, Friends of the NRA Manitowoc County, 
Wisconsin Woodland Owner's Association, Manitowoc Fish and Game Protective 
Association and Conservation Education. He sold hunting and fishing licenses in 
the Mishicot area from his home for 10 years. Dick served on the Mishicot Village 
Board for one term and was village treasurer for one term. He belonged to the 
Mishicot and Francis Creek Lions clubs for a total of 20 years and also was a 
member of the Mishicot Fire Department for some years. Dick was involved in 4-H 
for about 16 years and was on the original planning committee for Camp TaPaWingo, 
spending many hours searching for land before the present site was chosen. Here is 
where he first tapped maple trees, learning to make syrup and learning that the 
tapping does not permanently injure the trees. Making maple syrup was a hobby he 
pursued for many years, using his property in Oconto County to tap his trees. He 
also deer hunted in the area, a sport that he loved.
One of Dick's greatest memories was always the more than 366,000 trees he planted 
in his lifetime, in Manitowoc, Kewaunee, Oconto and Langlade counties. Most of 
the trees were planted in Manitowoc County through Wisconsin and the Manitowoc 
County Soil Conservation Service Office with the direction of Keith Henley, state 
forester during the 1960s. Due to ill health, most of Dick's efforts in recent 
years were limited to donations to worthy organizations, many of which are 
conservation or community related. Dick received a Special Achievement Award by 
the Manitowoc County Conservationists in 1997 and was enshrined into the Manitowoc 
County Conservationists Hall of Fame in 2002.
He is survived by his wife; his eight children; 19 grandchildren and several 
step-grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two sisters; two sisters-in-law.  
Survived also by nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents: Emil and Louise Franz; a brother: Donald; 
a sister: Dorothy Spalding; a sister-in-law: Dorothy (Kuhl) Franz; three 
brothers-in-law: Herbert Spalding, George Fenske and Robert Wordell.
Memorials may be made to First German Lutheran Church, Mishicot Sportsmen's Club or 
the charity of the donor's choice.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 30, 2002 at First German 
Lutheran Church, 1033 S. Eighth St., Manitowoc.
Family and friends will be greeted from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 29, 2002 at Jens 
Family Funeral Home and at the church on Monday from 10 a.m. until the time of 
services.
The Jens Family Funeral Home, 1122 S. Eighth St., Manitowoc, is assisting the 
family with arrangements.
His favorite poem was included by his wife:
What God Hath Promised
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through,
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain,
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe.
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
