furniture store and in 1868 established a planing mill. He served in several positions
of trust in our city. In the recent past he was unable to leave his residence and recently
his situation worsened so that his son Carl was summoned from Chicago to be at his
side. Carl brought a distinguished physician with him, but after the condition of Mr.

ARTHUR GRIEBENOW   cemetery #82

On Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock A.L. Kaemmer recieved a message from 
Chicago stating that Arthur Griebenow, his brother-in-law, had been shot 
and mortally wounded by a revolver bullet at 2:30 PM that day. Mr. 
Kraemmer immediatly left on the afternoon train, which happened to be 40 
minutes late, for Chicago, but he was unable to reach the bedside of the 
dying man before he expired. Mr. Griebenow passed away at the hospital, 
where he was taken, at 9:30 PM.
No particulars regarding the shooting were contained in the message to Mr. 
Kaemmer, and as there was no account in the Chicago papers of Wednesday 
morning, nothing is known as to how Mr. Griebenow so suddenly lost his life.
Arthur Griebenow was born in Kiel Sept. 17, 1876, as son of Mr. and Mrs. 
Fred Griebenow. He was educated in the Kiel public school and after he had 
grown to manhood he was employed in the Kiel Furniture Co. factory for a 
number of years. About 20 years ago he went to Chicago, where he was first 
employed in a hardware store. For quite a number of years he was on the 
detective force of the Chicago police department. It is thought that he was 
shot while on duty, by a criminal he was trying to arrest.
Mr. Griebenow was unmarried. He is survived by his mother, three brothers 
and six sisters, as follows:  Fred. of Sierra Madre, Calif., Oscar of Owen, 
and William in the northern part of the state; Mrs. J.M. Duecker, Mrs. G.A. 
Duecker, Mrs. Helen Hanske and Mrs. A.L. Kaemmer of Kiel, Mrs. Mathilda Heins 
of Milwaukee and Mrs. H.L. Meyer of Hilbert.
Mr. Griebenow was known as a man of excellent character and of a quiet and 
unassuming disposition. His many friends in Kiel were shocked to hear of his 
untimely and tragic death, and the sympathy of the community goes out to his 
relatives in their bereavement.
Mr. Kaemmer accompanied the remains, which were brought for burial to Kiel, 
on Wednesday evening. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 
2 o'clock, from the home of J.M. Duecker. Rev. Wm. Rech will officiate.  
Interment will be in the family lot in the Kiel cemetery. - Feb., 1922

ESTER GRIFFIN     Cemetery #1

    From the Manitowoc Pilot, 7 July 1870:
Suicide - A young lady named Ess Griffin, whose parents reside in the 
town of Cato, this county, called at the drug store of Mr. Robinson, 
one day last week, and asked for some arsenic. Upon being questioned 
as to what she wanted it for, she replied that she wanted it for a rat 
exterminator. The clerk mentioned another kind of exterminator which he 
said was excellent, but which she thought was not strong enough. Accordingly
the poison was put up and gave to the lady and she took her departure. 
Sad to relate, it seems she wanted it for no such purpose, but with the 
full intent of taking her own life, for on Friday her body was found a 
corpse. A post mortem examination was made and a coroner's inquest held, 
and a verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts.
