HENRY GOERES  (b. 1846)   cemetery #82

Death Claims Henry Goeres Kiel Pioneer
Henry Goeres, 81, one of the pioneers of Kiel, and a man known all 
over this section, was called to the great beyond on Monday evening 
at his home in this city, after six months’ illness, due to the 
infirmities of old age. Mr. Goeres was born in Wevelinghofen, Rhine 
Province, Germany, May 20, 1846, a son of Bernhard Goeres. The family 
came to the United States in 1857, that same year locating at Plymouth, 
but a year later came to Kiel. In Chicago Mr. Goeres learned the 
painter’s and decorator’s trade, which he followed for many years. As 
he had studied law, although he was never admitted to the bar, he acted 
as advisor for many of his neighbors. For years he was deputy sheriff 
and constable, and for thirty years a notary public. In addition, he 
served many years as road commissioner. On January 9, 1872 he married 
Bertha Frese of Holstein, Germany, who survives him. Six children were 
born to this union, of which two sons, Max of Appleton, and Theodore of 
Lodi, are living. There are also 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
In 1885 he bought a small farm near the Kiel cemetery, which was known as 
‘Schloss Luxemburg,’ where he lived for thirty years. After disposing of 
the place he moved to this city, where he lived in retirement until his 
death.
On January 9, 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Goeres celebrated their golden wedding 
anniversary at the hall now owned by Alvis Hein.
Mr. Goeres was the founder of the Kiel Cemetery Assn., which he served as 
Secretary since its organization. He also was a charter member of the Kiel 
Turn and Gesangverein, and a member of Kiel’s first brass band.
Since his retirement Mr. Goeres was interested in a number of matters, and 
compiled some valuable facts relative to the early history of Manitowoc county.
A story written by Mr. Goeres, entitled “Yellowbird” gives a very accurate 
description of conditions in the early pioneer days here. A curious collection, 
and valuable as well, is one made by him, comprising hand-painted eggs of all 
the noted people in the world, and flower designs of every description. This 
collection numbering 8000 specimens, was on exhibition at the World’s Columbian 
Exposition in 1893. For many years he spent much time in literary pursuits, 
and as correspondent for German language papers.
Funeral services will be held at the late home on Thursday at 1:30 o’clock, 
and burial will take place in the Kiel cemetery. Emil Meinardus will speak at 
the obsequies.

Goetzler here, had been overtaken and killed by a train near Peotone, 
Illinois. Further details of the terrible incident were not forthcoming. 
The unfortunate man had been identified by a letter from his grandfather 
found in a pocket; which resulted in his grandfather being notified 
instead of the father. The deceased was born here 15 Dec. 1877 and was 
a mason contractor like his father and grandfather. He had been working 
in Kankakee, Illinois, the last 2 yrs., and it is said that he was on 
his way to Peotone on foot along the railroad tracks when the incident

Franklin. The deceased came to this country with her
husband among the first of the early settlers, and has
been known, loved and respected for her many virtues and
kind hospitalities as the very large concourse of people
at her funeral yesterday attested. Always kind to the 
poor and needy, giving from their bountiful plenty with
which Providence has blessed them, with a liberal hand,
the bereaved husband and friends have the heartfelt
sympathy of the whole community.

        THOUGHT TO BE AT ASHLAND, HAS LEFT THAT CITY
 
 Thought to be at Ashland, Ignatz Golata of this city, son of John Golata 
who died suddenly Thursday, has left there and efforts to locate him to 
advise him of the death of his father have been unavailing and it is feared 
he cannot be communicated with in time to reach here for the funeral 
Saturday morning. Some anxiety is felt by relatives as Golata in the past 
has always kept his family informed of his whereabouts.  The death of John 
Golata occurred at the family home on Marshal street where he was removed 
after the sudden attack of heart trouble and death occurred within minutes.  
Mr. Golata was 59 years of age.  He is survived by a widow and eight children, 
three of whom are at home.  The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church 
on Marshal street at 9 Saturday morning.
                 ******************
From Der Nord Westen, 26 Aug. 1909: 
John Golata, a well-known resident of the 7th Ward, was at work Thursday last

deceased, a mason, was about 56 years old and is survived by his widow and 
several grown children. The funeral was held Saturday morning.

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.
