OTTO KAHLENBERG cemetery #89A Mr. Kahlenberg arrived here at the age of 15 in 1853 and went to work almost immediately. He came over from his birthplace, Etzleben, Germany with his older sister. They had an unusually long journey coming over, covering thirteen weeks of dubious weather. In the first years here Mr. Kahlenberg did the tin work on the first sawmill built at Neshoto and on vessels in Harbridge's ship yard near the Monroe Street bridge on the site of the Reporter office. After working here four years Mr. Kahlenberg thought he'd try his luck elsewhere and went to Milwaukee where he helped with the tin work on the Best(?) Brewery that has now become the immense plant of the Pabst Brewing Company. From there he went to Janesville where he enlisted in the army at the breaking out of the civil war. He became a member of company D. 13th Wisconsin. During the war he saw service at Belmont, Murfreesborough, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge and other battles and in the entire Vicksburg campaign. He came to Two Rivers when the war was over to settle down here for good and in a short time was married to Gertrude Nies on the last day of the year 1864. He again engaged in the work of tinsmith working for a time for the Two Rivers Manufacturing Company and for Robert Suettinger Sr. In 1868 on the 1st of April the pail factory was destroyed by fire and he was engaged with others to rebuild the plant which was again burned down in 1873. He also helped in the work of rebuilding it the second time. He started his own tinshop and hardware store in 1877. Among the more important jobs he undertook was the work on the light house at Two Rivers Point. This was erected in 1879 and Mr. Kahlenberg had much work to do covering the roof 120 feet above the ground. Mr. Kahlenberg's hardware business enjoyed reasonable prosperity. When the soldiers were musterd out of service, He says that he and many others threw their guns away but he carried home with him from the south two large tin shears, with the assistance of a comrade whom he paid $5. One he sold to Mr. Suettinger and it is still at the Suettinger shop to this day doing service occasionally. When his sons grew up they experimented on new things and developed at last their famous gasoline engine. This resulted in winding up the hardware business and the erection of the modern manufacturing plant of Kahlenberg Bros. on the Southside. Mr. Otto Kahlenberg has retired from active participaton in the business affairs of this concern but occupies himself attending to things around the premises and to the delivery of freight which he is still able to do at the age of 77. Mr. and Mrs. Kahlenberg have now been married nearly fifty years. She is 73 but the snows of age have not settled upon her. It is their intention to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary and as both are in good health the joyous occasion will no doubt take place on December 31, this year when they will have been married fifty years.” Two Rivers Reporter, Saturday, March 21, 1914 - OLD TIMERS ********* OTTO KAHLENBERG, CIVIL WAR VETERAN OF TWO RIVERS PASSES AWAY AT THE AGE OF 80 YEARS Was Married in This City Shortly After Having Returned From War to Gertrude Neis a Manitowoc Woman—Well Known In Business After an illness of several months duration, Otto Kahlenberg, aged 80 years, died at his home in this city on Friday.

ALBERT KAHRS Cemetery 89A Death record, v. 33, #130 Albert Kahrs of 1706-18th St., T.R., Mant. Cty., Wis. Died Dec. 30, 1939, Two Rivers, Mant. Cty. Married: Wife: Hattie Born May 28, 1879 Age 60 years, 7 mo. 2 days Buffer, Aluminum Goods Mfg. Co. Father: Henry Kahrs born in Germany Mother: Christina Hempke born in Two Rivers Cause: Coronary Sclerosis due to coronary occlusion. Dec. 30, 1939 Albert Kahrs Dies After Long Illness FUNERAL WILL BE HELD HERE ON WEDNESDAY Son of First White Child Born Here Was 60; Had Heart Ailment Albert B. Kahrs, 60, a son of the first white child born in Two Rivers, and one of the city's most widely known residents, died at his home at 1706 18th street at six o'clock Saturday night from heart disease. Known as one of the city's kindliest persons, and an enthusiast in all types of sports, particularly baseball, since youth, Mr. Kahrs had been in ill health since he suffered a heart attack four years ago. Funeral Wednesday He took seriously ill again nine weeks ago, but on Christmas, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, he took a turn toward the better. However, Thursday morning his illness again became critical and he failed rapidly. Funeral services for Mr. Kahrs will be held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 from the home and at 2 o'clock in St. John's Lutheran church, the Rev. W.G. Haase officiating. Interment will be in the family plot in Pioneers' Rest cemetery. The remains were taken to the residence this afternoon from the Beduhn funeral home and can be viewed until the hour of services. On Trustees Board For the past 22 years Mr. Kahrs was a die-setter at Plant 1 of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company. Previous to his last place of employment he worked for many years with his lat father- in-law, Charles Griep, at the old Mueller Bros. brewery, now the Two Rivers Beverage company. Mr. Kahrs served for a period of 12 years on the board of trustees of St. John's church, leaving the board when he was stricken with illness in 1935. A member of the Two Rivers Old Settlers' club and of the Lutheran Men's club, he also belonged to the Two Rivers volunteer fire department from 1900 to the time it was reorganized into a paid department in 1919. He had been on the Dexter hook and ladder unit of the department. Ardent Baseball Fan A great enthusiast of all sports activities, baseball was his chief hobby. A pitcher for amateur teams in his youth, he never lost interest in the game. Seldom he missed a game in which the city team played, and he frequently attended major league contests in Chicago and watched the Brewers play in Milwaukee. He followed the fortunes of the Milwaukee club with interest from the days when Ty Lober, now a Two Rivers resident was the club's leadoff man. ******** The death on Saturday of Albert Kahrs, son of the first white woman born in Two Rivers, removes from the community a splendid citizen. For many weeks most of Two Rivers had known that Albert Kahrs had been approaching the end of the road, and his brave but hopeless fight against a fatal illness has been watched with sorrow for its inevitable end. Albert Kahrs was a friendly gentleman, and extremely popular with all who knew him. And these numbered in the hundreds in a city where he resided his entire life. In spite of his ailing condition in the past four years he always greeted his friends with a smile. That quality never left Albert Kahrs. Those identified with sports activities in Two Rivers probably will miss Albert most. The sports page was always "page 1" to Albert. There, perhaps, wasn't a single participant in the upper brackets of organized and independent baseball whom he couldn't recall for some deed during his career. Keeping records of the achievements in competitive sports was his chief hobby. And as a supporter of the representative city baseball team he ranked among the most ardent. He rarely missed a game here. Yes, Albert Kahrs, a fine citizen, and loving father, will be missed and our sympathy goes to the bereaved family, which is now sustaining its greatest loss.

JOSEPH KAISER cemetery #44 KAISER, WELL KNOWN MUSIC TEACHER, DIES Was Leading Figure In Country Music Circles For Many Years Prof. Joseph Kaiser, 73, a leading figure in county music circles for the past 50 years, died at his home, 1023 Chicago street, Friday afternoon. He suffered heart attach about 3 p.m. and died before the arrival of a physician. Coming here 50 years ago with renown as a concert violinist and having already directed the Minneapolis orchestra, he started giving private music lessons and continued doing so until a few years ago when he became director of the Manitowoc Concert orchestra, which was disbanded about a year ago. Many musicians in the county received their training under Prof. Kaiser, who also gave piano lessons and instructions in harmony. His pupils came from all over the county and he went to Two Rivers and other places to give lessons. Funeral Services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home with the Rev. C. H. Phipps officiating. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. Prof. Kaiser was born Bingen-on-the-Rhine in 1869. His musical education started when he was a boy and when his parents moved to Darmstadt he became a pupil of Miroslaw Weber, famous violinist who was concertmaster at the Court Opera. He often appeared in concerts there and later entered the conservatory at Frankfurt, continuing to Mayence from there. At the age of 19 he became a teacher at the conservatory at Mayence and connected with the Opera. Before he was 21 he came to the United States and maintained a studio in Minneapolis where he also directed the orchestra and often appeared in concerts. After a few years he was induced to come Manitowoc where he remained. Many piano and violin compositions were credited to him and he arranged nearly 100 compositions for string quintets. Among his activities here in addition to his private lessons was the direction of the Manitowoc Freier Seangerbund for several years. When the Manitowoc Concert Orchestra was formed several years ago through cooperation of federal agencies, he was named the director. This organization was composed of some of the best musicians in the county and rehearsed and gave concerts almost daily. With this job he had to drop the giving private lessons, and he did not resume after the orchestra was disbanded. About 37 years ago he married Miss Libby Barta, who survives with two sons, Joseph Jr., and Corp. Fred Kaiser who is stationed in New Jersey.
