HENRY GOERES (b. 1874) cemetery #82 WELL KNOWN KIEL RESIDENT DEAD Henry Goeres of Kiel passed away at his home Monday afternoon from a complication of diseases. A stroke of apoplexy Tuesday morning of last week hastened the end. “Sohne” as he was familiarly known in this community where he had many friends, was a skilled musician and took a great interest in all musical organizations. He was a life long member of the Arion band and orchestra. He was born in Kiel May 27, 1874 where he has since made his home. For the past 22 years he has been engaged in the ice business in Kiel.

He is also a member of the E. F. U. assembly and M. W. A. camp. Several people from this village attended the funeral. Jan 1923 *********** Henry Joseph Goeres, widely known as “Sohnie”, passed away at his home in this city on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock, after an illness of several weeks with a complication of diseases, a stroke of apoplexy, which he suffered early Tuesday, hastening his demise. Despite the best of medical attention, and the care of a trained nurse during the last week, his life could not be saved. Decedent was born in Kiel on May 27th, 1874, thus reaching the age of 48 years and 8 months. At the age of 12 he joined the Arion Juvenile Band, which was organized here by Henry Frese, and out of which the present well-known Arion Band was developed. Mr. Goeres continually remained a member of both organizations, in which he was an excellent trombone player up to the time of his illness. For the past 22 years he was Kiel’s ice dealer, giving general satisfaction to customers. He's survived by his bereaved wife, nee Mary Beischer, with whom he had the honor to celebrate the silver wedding anniversary a few years ago.

They will all gather at his bier and attend the last sad rites. His family and relatives will find comfort in the thought that “Sohnie” was honest in all his dealings, an enemy of all rudeness, and a good provider for his family. He was a man who had the courage of his convictions and was not afraid to openly express his views, but he also respected the opinions of others. Mr. Goeres always took an active interest in local government and education and never failed to discharge his duties as a citizen. No newspaper named, January 23, 1923

HENRY GOLDAMMER Cemetery 89A Manitowoc Co. Chronicle, July 9, 1872 Henry Goldammer, a respected citizen of this village, committed suicide in a fit of temporary insanity, on Friday last, by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. An inquest was held on view of the dead body by Felix Walsh, justice of the peace, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The deceased was about 58 years of age, has resided a long time in this village, and during the year '67 was elected town treasurer, an office which he held till about the commencement of the year '68, when partial blindness made it necessary to resign. Owing to the almost total blindness since, he has been incapable of helping himself and for the last two years he and his family have been helped more or less by the town. He became a prey to grief on account of this infirmity, which is supposed to have caused the insanity. The deceased leaves a wife and six children, the eldest of whom is not yet out of her teens.
