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.

(nee Theuringer), was born 23 April 1842 in Mittelfranken, Bavaria, and 
came to America with her parents in 1848. The family settled in Germantown, 
near Milwaukee, and there she married in 1868 with Leonhard Foerster, moving
with him to Manitowoc County in 1876 and settling in Town Kossuth. Until a 
few years ago she and her husband operated a farm in Town Rapids where she 
died of a heart attack on 20 December. In addition to her sorrowing husband 
she is survived by 8 children. 2 other children preceded her in death. The 
funeral was held Thursday in the cemetery of Town Kossuth.


JOHN FOERSTER   cemetery #35

Death notice in Der Nord Westen, 10 Feb. 1881:
Son of Leonhard Forester(sic) died last Sun. in Kossuth. 
He was 16 or 17 years old.

(NOTE: No burial location, however, he was most likely John FOERSTER/
surname is spelled wrong in death notice. Parents Leonhard & Apollonia 
FOERSTER are buried in Cem # 35 Kossuth Evergreen, with son William. 
Per 1870-1880 census's, their oldest child was "John Foerster", born 
about 1865. John would have been age 16 at his death in 1881. My guess 
is that he is also buried in here, despite no transcription record for 
him. His mother's obit in 1909 states 2 children preceded her in death.
They would have been John and Wilhelm.

Chas. Fokette, Sr., one of the three survivors of the Eighteenth Wisconsin 
regiment, who fought under General Grant, will celebrate his 75th birthday 
anniversary Saturday, Dec. 4 at his home at Reedsville. Mr. Fokette, until 
a year ago, resided on a farm about two miles northeast of that village but 
decided to spend the remaining years of his life in Reedsville. His son, 
Albert, took charge of the farm and Mr. Fokette and wife came to Reedsville 
where they purchased a home on Manitowoc street. The old gentleman is still 
hale and hearty and his friends who will gather at his home Saturday will 
find him the genial host of old.
