The funeral of Mr. Hoes took place last Sunday afternoon, at St. James Church. The Services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Cooper, and Rev. Mr. Pierpont, and Sermon by Rev. Mr. Stanley, of the First Presbyterian Society. The members of the Masonic Order, (of which Mr. Hoes was a member in good standing,) took charge of the last remains of him, who, in this life, was loved and repsected by all, and had them interred with ture(?) Masonic honors. By his death, the Lodge mourns an earnest, faithful, highly esteemed, and accomplished brother, and society one of its worthiest citizens. How oft has this departed brother sought the altar with those kind and true ones, who do there congregate, to worship Masonically-and where the heart and the land grows warm-where the strife of the cold world without, for place and power is forgotten, and where eye meets eye in love and true devotion. His ear now deaf, had drank in that heaven-born music, and interpreted the faint whisper; his eye now dim, has beheld, and his heart, now still, has conceived the beauties which await the faithful. Then how blest the thought, that there is a rest for this beloved one beyond the tomb-a seat made vacant for him in that Celestial Lodge. Perhaps there are some dear ones, a father, a mother, a brother, or a sister, whose hearts are now breaking with sorrow, for him who now sleeps on yonder hill. Then let us tread lightly, for how blest must be the consolation to them, to know, that although he might have died far from home, and in a strange land, a brother's ear caught his last whisper, a brother's hand smoothed his dying pillow, and closed those eyes in their last sleep, a sleep that knows no waking this side of the tomb. The Manitowoc Pilot, Manitowoc, Wis. Friday, August 5, 1859 P. 3 ********* In its appropriate place in today's paper will be found the announcement of the death of Mr. B.F. Hoes, who died in this village on Saturday last. The deceased was but twenty-nine years of age-just in that period of life when the mind and body has become matured, and the man be best suited for useful and vigorous exertions. He was a resident of Manitowoc a little over three years, and during that time seems to have made a universally good impression, and we cannot hear of one in the community who does not speak with regret of his loss. He seems to have possessed the warm affection and esteem of his friends and intimate associates, to a high degree-the respect of all-the ill will of no one. And this universal sentiment of kindness and good feeling which followed poor Frank to his last resting place on earth, and was evinced by the large attendance of sympathising friends at the funeral services, was not the result of mere negative good nature, and an absence of energy and positive qualities in his character; but was, on the contrary, due to the active virtues, the strong sense of justice, the ever present kindliness of a disposition which, whatever its defects, they seem to have been lost sight of in the presence of so many noble and attractive traits of character. Peace to his ashes! One who has led so pure and blameless a life on earth need have no fear to face the future; and when we, too, pass away from this world of strife and enmity, we ask no better tribute to our memory than that which public sentiment has accorded to Frank. Surely it seems true of him- "None knew him but to love him- None named him but to praise." The Manitowoc Pilot, Manitowoc, Wis. Friday August 5, 1859 P. 2 ******* B.F. Hoes died in Mtwc (with eulogy) brother of R.H. Hoes Manitowoc Herald, Aug. 4, 1859 ******* (Note: The date on the tombstone does not match the date on thes newspapers. I have no idea why unless the tombstone was erected some time later after the burial. I consulted with the cemetery office and she concluded this should be the same Benjamin Hoes.

RICHARD H. HOES cemetery #44 The below was sent from the cemetery office: The age may have been misread on the Richard Hoes marker. The transcription has him as age 17, but with the words “our papa” (implying more than one child at age 17?). Doing a real quick search, here’s what I found: EDWARDS 1868-69 DIRECTORY: "Hoes Richard H., county treas. r. Franklin, nr. the lake" FROM RALPH PLUMB'S BOOK: "On April 15, 1861 the Chilton and Manitowoc Plankroad Company was organized by Calumet county men with a capital of $200,000 and townships were authorized to aid the project. Immediately after the war a state road was ordered laid out between Kiel and Manitowoc, W. Bach, A. Krieger and P. P. Fuessenich acting as commissioners and another from Manitowoc, to Taychedah, via Kiel, H. F. Belitz being one of the incorporators. It was failure of the latter project that caused the incorporation of a private company in 1870, the Manitowoc and Kiel Plankroad Company by J. Schuette, T. Windiate, R. H. Hoes, H. Berners, C. Gustaveson, S. Samuelson, A. Schad and E. B. Treat, with a capital stock of $30,000. The days of plank roads and private enterprises were soon over, however, and one by one these were incorporated by county or township, both these units now having full charge and maintenance of all the thoroughfares of the county. The Kiel and Sheboygan turnpike was the last to be made free, the event occurring in 1900." 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS - MTWC CITY WARD #1: 37 22 278 285 R.H.

PETER HOFFMANN cemetery #59 Source: "Portrait and Biographical Record - Published 1894 by Excelsior Publishing Co., Chicago" Pages 360 - 361 Jacob Hoffmann, who owns a desirable farm on section 13, Lima Township, is one of the prominent and highly regarded farmers and citizens of this locality. He was born in Rhenish Prussia, near the city of Treves, May 29, 1852. His father, Peter Hoffmann, was born in the Fatherland in 1806, and died in 1889. He was a wagon-maker by trade and followed that vocation in Germany, but after coming to America took up agriculture. His wife bore the maiden name of Mary Nittler, and they had born to them five sons and two daughters. With his family the father set sail from Antwerp in 1855, and after thirty-three days spent on the briny deep safely landed in New York. Proceeding at once to Manitowoc County, Wis., he purchased ninety-seven acres of partly improved land, The Indians were very plentiful, and deer were often seen in the forest. The father was a Democrat in politics, and both he and his wife were members of the German Catholic Church. Their remains were interred in the cemetery of Meeme, Manitowoc County. The mother survived until February, 1892. Jacob Hoffmann was only three years old when he came to America, and he continued to live on the old homestead with his parents until he was twenty-six years old. His first home was a log house, and bands of Indians often passed the humble abode. In his boyhood he had a tame deer, and often brought down large game with his trusty rifle. He is largely self-educated, both in the English and German languages. After his eighteenth year he was given his time and an opportunity to engage in life's warfare for himself. In 1869, he commenced working as a lumberman, and continued for two summers and five winters thus employed. At the expiration of this time, which was in 1875, he revisited the scenes of his birthplace, traveling through the cities of Cologne, Weisbaden, Frankfort, Treves, Bremen, Hanover and Antwerp. He remained on the Continent until June, 1876, passing his time very pleasantly and profitably. For two years after returning from Europe, Mr. Hoffmann continued making his old home his headquarters, but in 1878 he located in Lima Township, at the Six Corners. He commenced in the saloon business and also carried on a farm. On the 5th of March, 1878, was celebrated his marriage with Miss Catherine Wagner, who was born February 1, 1858, in Sheboygan County. Four sons and two daughters have been born of their union: Clara N., who has been a student at Catherine's Convent in Racine, Wis.; John M., Katie, Peter J., Joseph H. and William F., who complete the number. The mother is well educated in both the German and English tongues, and has proved of great assistance to her husband in every possible way. The first Presidential vote of Mr. Hoffmann was cast in the campaign of 1876, for S. J. Tilden. He has been active in the ranks of the Democratic party, and in 1891 was a candidate for Assemblyman of District No. 3, Sheboygan County. He made a good race in the face of the new system, or Australian ballot. The people have bestowed their confidence upon him to a flattering extent, and during his candidacy he received in Wilson Township one hundred and one votes against the twenty-three votes of his opponent, A. R. Munger, of Scott. He has held the office of Supervisor of Lima Township, has been Treasurer of Wilson Township Mutual Insurance Company for ten or twelve years, and has been Treasurer of his school district. He has an excellent business, which he conducts in an able manner, and owns thirty-nine acres of good farm land in Lima Township. Under the administration of President Hayes when D. M. Kay was Postmaster-General, he received his commission as Postmaster. This was in 1879, and he has acceptably filled the office up to date. He is a gentleman who is well known in the community, and we are glad to be able to present his many friends with his sketch. He and his wife are members of St. George's Catholic Church, of which. Father Blume is pastor.
