ELSA KIESELHORST   cemetery #44

DEATH ENDS BRAVE FIGHT OF YOUNG GIRL FOR LIFE
MISS ELSA KIESELHORST YIELDS TO GRIM DESTROYER AFTER 
UNEQUAL BATTLE FOR HEALTH FOR TWO YEARS
Death is all times sad but seldom has the pathos of the tragedy 
been brought home as in the demise yesterday of Miss Elsa, daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kieselhost, who yielded her life to the Grim 
Destroyer after a brave battle of two years against the insidious 
ravages of incurable disease. Miss Kieselhorst’s death occurred at 
the family home on Washington street and the announcement is received 
with sincere sorrow by a large circle of friends to whom she had 
endeared herself. 
Miss Kieselhorst was but 25 years of age, having been born in this 
city Nov. 11, 1889. She attended the local schools and later became 
a teacher at Kiel and at Florence, Wis. Two years ago she contracted 
a cold which settled upon the lungs and developed tuberculosis and 
although everything known to medical science and every loving care 
was administered, the insidious disease sapped her vitals and day 
by day the responsive flame grew smaller until the breath of Death 
extinguished. Through months of suffering and despair the feeble 
flame shone out against hope but it was vain and the end came at 8:30 
yesterday. 
In the early days of her illness Miss Kieselhorst entered the 
sanatorium at River Pines, Stevens Point and it was thought that the 
illness had been checked and that she would be restored to health, but 
gradually the inroads of the disease became apparent and for weeks 
death had been but a question of time. A pathetic incident of the 
death of Miss Kieselhorst was the arrival here after her demise of 
George D. Seibert of Colgate, Wis., her affianced husband who, 
receiving the message that the end was near, hastened to the bedside 
of the girl who he had hoped a year ago to claim as a bride. Mr. 
Siebert arrived in the city last evening, an hour after death had 
claimed Miss Kieselhorst. 
He will remain for the funeral. Realizing that death was at hand, 
Miss Kieselhorst yesterday requested that former girl friends, with 
whom she had associated at school be sent for and there was an 
affecting scene at the home when several of her friends visited her. 
Besides her parents decedent is survived by four sisters, Mrs. A. 
Roepke, Misses Lenora, Lillian and Irene Kieselhorst. The funeral 
will be held Monday afternoon at 1:30 from the home and at 2:30 
from the Lutheran church.

JOHN KILLEN  1833-1894  cemetery #44

John Killen of Cato died in St. Petersburg, Florida on the 21st inst.,
from a stroke of paralysis received the day preceding his death.  He had
gone to Florida for the benefit of his health, which for the past few
years has been failing.  He had experienced good results from having
spent the winter preceding in that state, and sought relief there again
this winter.
He was born near Edinburgh, Scotland in 1833, and removed with his
parents to Waukegan, Ill., when about five years old.  When about 16
years of age, his father and mother died.  At that time he had hardly
any educational advantages, and at once commenced to earn a living as a
sailor on Lake Michigan in summer and as lumberman on both shores of
same in winter, and continued in these occupations until about the 1856,
when he located a homestead in the town of Mishicott, this county.  In
the fall of the same year he was married to Miss Alice Markham, sister
of Governor Markham, and commenced his married life on wild land,
heavily timbered, where he was found hard at work endeavoring to make
for himself and family a home when the war of the rebellion broke out.
Soon after he enlisted in the 32nd Wisconsin Infantry, and served in
same until the close of the war, when he returned to his home, broken in
health, in consequence of which he sold his farm and commenced in a
small way the mercantile business at Cato, Wisconsin where he built up
quite a large business.  Soon after going to Cato he buried his wife,
and afterwards married Miss Tenah Wederman.  He leaves a widow with a
son and daughter, and two sons and a daughter by his first wife.  He was
well known in Grand Army circles, and was a member of that organization
at the time of his death.
John Killen was a man of sturdy independence, large business capacity
and loyalty to his friends.  He was a good judge of men, and while not
demonstrative in his friendships, they were strong. No man ever
questioned his integrity and where he reposed confidence it was complete
and without reservation.  A straight line was always the direction his
effort took toward the accomplishment of an object.  This directness at
times, gave him the appearance of brusqueness, but it likewise gave him
the confidence of those with whom he did business.
He knew the right with intuitive quickness and always acted in
consonance with his perceptions.  His death will be a loss to Cato where
he had established so many industries which contributed to the
prosperity of the surrounding country.  There lived no better citizen
than John Killen.
From the Manitowoc Pilot, January 25, 1894
***********
Death of John Killen
An Old Resident of Manitowoc County Dies in Florida
Manitowoc Wis., Jan. 24.-
A telegram reached here today from St. Petersburg, Fla., announcing the death
by paralysis of John Killen of Cato, this county. He had been in the South in
the hopes of regaining his health when he was suddenly stricken down. The 
body will be brought home for burial. Mr. Killen was one of the staunch and 
prosperous citizens of Manitowoc county, and his accumulation of friends has
kept fully apace with his accumulation of wealth. He was among the first to
volunteer his services at the outbreak of the rebellion and among the last
to return after the victory was won. He was 64 years of age and leaves a wife,
two sons and a daughter. The funeral will take place from his residence at
Cato on Saturday next at 10 A.M., under the auspices of the Grand Army.
