CATHARINA GOETZLER cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 06 Feb. 1890: Death of 87 yr. old Mrs. Catharine Goetzler on Tues. evening, of old age, in the home of Mr. H. Hinrichs. The deceased was a sister of Mr. Charles Esslinger and mother of Mrs. B. Winnpf and of Mrs. C. Ruediger. She was born in Amorbach, Bavaria, and came directly to Manitowoc in the summer of 1847, therefore belonging among the first residents of our city. A few months ago, as we reported at the time, the elderly lady unluckily broke her arm in a fall, the unwelcome result of which probably advanced her death. The funeral will take place on Fri. afternoon at 2 p.m. from the home of Mr. Henry Hinrichs. ********* [cause: old age] (Mrs. Gessler/d. 5 Feb. 1890/age 87 yrs./cause: LaGrippe) CATHARINA GOETZLER cemetery #43 DEATH CLAIMS ONE OF CITY’S OLDEST RESIDENTS TODAY Mrs. Valentine Goetzler, Stricken After Entertaining Friends at 91st Birthday, Passes Away After Brief Illness Mrs. Valentine Goetzler, one of the city’s oldest residents, mother of City Assessor Rudolph Goetzler, passed away at the family home on South Eighth street at an early hour this morning after an illness of only a few days. Funeral arrangements have not been made. On Friday Mrs. Goetzler observed the ninety-first anniversary of her birth and on that day was about as usual and welcomed guests who visited her to tender congratulations on the event. A woman of remarkable vitality, Mrs. Goetzler, up to the day she was stricken had attended to her own household duties and had almost daily visited neighbors and friends in the city. Despite her 91 years, she was active and appeared far younger, both in age and spirit and her death, after so short an illness is a great shock. Mrs. Goetzler was born at Amorbach, Bavaria, May 11, 1826 and came to New York with her parents as a girl. She was married in that city to Mr. Goetzler and the couple resided there for some time. More than fifty-five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Goetzler came to Wisconsin, locating in Manitowoc where they have since resided, Mr. Goetzler being one of the pioneer mason contractors of the city. The couple recently celebrated their iron wedding, the sixty- fifth anniversary of their marriage. Besides her aged husband Mrs. Goetzler is survived by seven children, Edward and Rudolph Goetzler, this city; Mrs. Buegler, Stapleton, N.Y.; Sister Dolores, Zanesville, O.; Mrs. Catherine Stockinger, Colon, Neb.; Mrs. B. Germerhausen, Milwaukee, and Mrs. F. Sechel, Frederich, Md.

CHARLES GOETZLER cemetery #43 From Der Nord Westen, 02 Nov. 1905: Tues. evening Valentin Goetzler, well-known local mason contractor, was notified that his grandson, Charles Goetzler, son of Edward 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 occurred. His relatives have gone to bring the body here. ******* (Charles Goetzler/b. Dec. 19, 1877, Manitowoc/d. 1905/Son of Edward and Susanna Fankel Goetzler)

Despite his advanced age Mr. Goetzler had enjoyed robust health and up to the last illness of his wife he had been about the city daily. Following her burial Mr. Goetzler took to his bed the next day and never rallied from the shock, his condition showing gradual decline as day following day until the end came this morning. He was 87 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Goetzler came to this city 55 years ago and their married life covered a span of 67 years when death separated them ten weeks ago. Two years ago they celebrated their diamond wedding and on that occasion both were in the best of health. Mrs. Goetzler's health failed some months ago and her husband, companion for three score and more years, worried over her condition and when death came to her, the shock shattered his health and he never recovered. Born in Germany Jan. 7, 1830, Mr. Goetzler, with his wife came to America 60 years ago, the couple spending five years in New York and Milwaukee before coming to this city to take up their home. Mr. Goetzler for 40 years was engaged in business as a mason contractor and during that time had built many of the city's leading buildings, including the Williams House, the Carnegie library, the Teitgen block, present city hall and the Vogelsang block. He retired from active work fifteen years ago but retained an interest in building operations up to his death. Mr. Goetzler was one of the best known residents of the city and was known for his industry and honesty. He is survived by seven children, Mrs. Elizabeth Zochel, Edward Goetzler, of this city; Mrs. Casper Stockinger, Colon, Neb.; Sister Dolores, Zanesville, O.; Mrs. Tecla Buegler, Stapelton, N.Y.; Rudolph Goetzler, this city; Mrs. Gammerschausen, Milwaukee.

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.

JOHN GONIA JOHN GONIA FOUND DEAD IN WOODS HEART FAILURE OR SUICIDE IS DEATH THEORY Bottle Found May Have Contained Poison John Gonia, 53, life long resident of the city and proprietor of a saloon at Tenth and Marshall streets, was found dead in the woods on the farm of F. Strupp on Highway 17, near the asylum farm, early today, a victim of heart failure or a suicide, it is believed. An empty bottle which may have contained poison, supports the suicide theory although members of the family declare that Gonia had always said that nothing could induce him to commit suicide. Mr. Gonia's body was found by Mr. Strupp who discovered the dead man about 400 feet from where his automobile had been parked at the roadside. The body was resting upon an oil cloth which the dead man had evidently placed on the ground himself and there was no weapon or wounds to indicate that Gonia had been the victim of an attack. Discovery of the emptied bottle later led to the suicide theory, although it is possible Gonia may have entered the woods to rest and have been stricken by a heart attack as friends say that for some time he had not been well. He was a heavy man and might easily have been subject to heart affection (sic). Is There Woman in Case? Mystery surrounds the case, even though it be one of suicide by poisoning and it was reported today that an investigation would be made in an effort to learn the identity of a woman who has evidenced much interest in the dead man. Gonia left home yesterday morning after a telephone call, believed to have come from the woman and twice yesterday a woman called the home but when others answered the telephone, left the wire. Again this morning the same voice made inquiry as to truth of reports of the finding of the body but efforts to identify the woman or trace the call were unavailing and nothing is known of her. According to friends Mr. Gonia had been nervous and worried for several days but he had refused to confide his troubles. Before he received the telephone call yesterday Mr. Gonia had said that he proposed to go into the woods to pick greens and this leads the family to believe that the suicide theory is untenable. Mr. Gonia is said to have had no financial difficulties and the family members say that he was in apparent health and good spirits yesterday. Was Native of iCty (sic) Mr. Gonia was a native of this city, having been born here March 17, fifty- three years ago. He had made his home here practically all his life and was widely known and respected. For some years he had conducted a hotel and saloon at Tenth and Washington street catering to a select patronage of personal friends who made the place their headquarters. Four years ago Mr. Gonia's wife died and he is survived by five children, Mrs. Paul Zagrodnik, Miss Helen Gonia, Raymond, Theodore and Arthur all of this city. Five brothers, Frank of Two Rivers, Joseph, Anton and Ludwig of Milwaukee and George of California and five sisters Mrs. Frank Bonk and Mrs. Frank Koskoswsy, of Two Rivers, Mrs. Clarence Meyer, Milwaukee, Frances, of Chicago and Mrs. Floyd, Morrison, Ill., also survive.
