On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Wilhelmina Gau, an old lady who was visiting at the 
home of Nic Buettner in the town of Chilton, died suddenly.  The cause of her 
death was internal hemorrhage. Mrs. Gau is a resident of the town of Schleswig,

Buettner.  She ate dinner with the family at noon and was apparently in good 
health.  After dinner Mr. B. went out in the field to work and his son left 
for the woods.  Between four and five o’clock, the boy returned to the house 
and found the old lady sitting in a chair dead.  He called his father and 
neighbor and immediately sent word to this city to the authorities. An inquest 
was held on the remains and a verdict rendered that the deceased came to her 
death from internal hemorrhage.  The deceased was born in Germany in 1826.  
She came to America thirty-five years ago and for the past 22 years has been 
a resident of Schleswig.  Her son Herman, who resides in Schleswig was

Smith at Manitowoc Writes Own Obituary
Manitowoc (Special)- August A Gaugher, 61, knew what he wanted from life-
-and he knew what he wanted in death.  As far as it is possible for any 
man he obtained both.
August Gauger knew what to expect of the future, too.  He saw to that.  
When he died at his home last night his family only to write the words 
"August 13th" in the obituary August Gauger wrote in his own hand two 
years ago.  Here it is, just as Mr. Gauger wrote it and wanted it 
printed:
"August A. Gauger, well known Washington street blacksmith and 
horseshoer, died after a lingering illness of heart trouble.  He was 
born in this city December 8, 1875 at the old homestead on South 15th 
street, which he still occupied at the time of his death.  He attended 
the old third ward school until he was 14 years of age, when he was 
called upon by his father to learn the blacksmith and shoeing trade 
which he worked for 66 years.  His health failing, he was forced to quit 
the trade.  The old Gauger blacksmith shop was erected in 1870.  It was 
equipped with an old time ox frame to shoe oxen, which was used 
extensively in those days.  After serving a number of years as 
apprentice Mr. Gauger's father entered into a partnership with him under 
the name of O. Gauger and Son.  After his father became incompetent and 
retired he went into partnership with the following well-known 
blacksmiths-Charles Zinkel, Bern Kitserow and Phil Heidorf.  Mr. Heidorf 
is still operating the shop and it is the last horseshoeing shop in the 
city today."
"Mr. Gauger was married in 1899 to Amanda Baerwaldt of this city who 
survives with one daughter, Mrs. Otto Rapp, one grandchild, and two 
brothers, Edward of this city and John of Porterville, California.  Mr. 
Gauger was an active member of the old Manitowoc Turn verein serving as 
Turning Teacher for (illegible) years until the Verien finally 
disbanded."
"Although his education was limited, Mr. Gauger succeeded in passing 
the civil service examination and was appointed substitute mail carrier 
under Postmaster Harry Kress.  At that time the mail was collected from 
the corner mail box with a horse and cart.  He was a charter member of 
the old Manitowoc County Blacksmiths' association, also a charter member 
of the Master Horseshoers Protective association of America.  Hew as a 
member of the following lodges: the E. R. A., the Beavers, and the local 
Aerie of Eagles, who will conduct the funeral services.  The body was 
taken to the funeral home of Pfeffer's, 929 South 14th street, where it 
will stay until the day of burial.  Burial will be at 2 p.m. on August 
13th, Friday.  Interment will be in the Evergreen Cemetery."

August Gauger, Buried at Cooperstown Yesterday, Was Last of Founders 
of Lutheran Church at that Place
Last surviving member of the little band of pioneer settlers who a 
half century ago founded the Lutheran church at Cooperstown, August 
Gauger, early day resident of the county, was yesterday buried from 
the church which he helped to establish and the funeral was one of 
the largest known in that section in years, more than 80 automobiles 
being in the funeral cortege, in addition to other vehicles. Rev. 
Klonka officiated at the services. 
Mr. Gauger’s death was sudden and unexpected, being due to heart failure. 
It had been his good fortune to enjoy robust health and despite the fact 
that he was nearly 81 years of age at death, he had never known an ill 
day in his life and had never been required to have the services of a 
physician. Up to the very moment of his death he appeared in his usual 
health. Seven children survive Mr. Gauger, whose wife died two years ago. 
They are Henry and Mrs. Heise, Cooperstown; August, Kossuth; Mrs. F. 
Radey; Mrs. Henrichs, Morrison and Mrs. Heim of De Pere. 
Mr. Gauger was one of the best known men of his section and served a 
number of terms as chairman of the town of Cooperstown. He was a veteran 
of the Civil war, having served with the 11th Wisconsin infantry.

and married Karl Gauger the following year in Freistadt, subsequently
moving here and joined the congregation. They had five children, all
still living. In the last few years, she has frequently suffered with
violent convulsive fits, and a few months ago, circumstances prompted
her and her husband to move to Kewaunee county. In spite of medical
attention, her health deteriorated and they returned. The doctor's
report indicated that gangrene had set in with the abdominal 
inflammation, resulting in her death. She was 58 years, 2 months, 29
