Gestorben.  In der Nacht von Montag auf Dienstag starb die Gattin des

resident of the north side Manitowoc. The burial took place yesterday afternoon. 
The deceased was a daughter of the Mr. Hermann Lindemann from the Township of 
Eaton."-interpretation by Emilie B. Lindemann

(Comment: The obituary of Auguste Klug née Lindemann does not scarcely mention 
her by name. It was as if the weekly newspaper in which published this notice 
reported…what's with all of the commotion in town? It was the funeral yesterday-
the church bells tolled 23 times for Auguste Klug-then the procession left First 
German Ev. Lutheran Church and headed up to big hill, to bury her remains at 
Evergreen Cemetery.  What's more, her father brought the family via horse and 
carriage to town, all of the way from the Township of Liberty where they have 
lived for the past year)

Gestorben.   Frau Wilhelmine Klug, geb. Ochs, die Gattin des Herrn Albert 
Klug, 26. und Wollmer Strasse wohnhaft, wurde am Samstag plötzlich aus dem 
Leben abberufen. Sie war schon seit längerer Zeit an einem Herzleiden 
erkrankt, doch war sie nie an das Bett gesesselt, und niemand hatte geahut, 
dass augenblicklich Todesgefahr vorhanden sei. Am Samstag Nachmittag, als 
sie mit ihrem dreijährigen Söhnschen allein zuhause war, brach sie plötzlich 
zusammen und stürzte zu Boden. Glücklicherweise wurde sie hier bald gefunden 
und wurde ärztliche Hülfe gerufen, doch vergeblich, denn wenige Stunden später 
gab sie ihren Geist auf. Frau Klug war geboren am 25. Oktober 1867 in Mishicott; 
ihr Alter bertug also 37 Jahre und nahezu 10 Monate. Sie hinterlässt einen 
trauernden Gatten und fünf Kinder: Emma, Eduard, Walter, Elsa und Georg. Das 
Begräbniss fand am Dienstag unter Leitung des Herrn Past. Machmüller auf dem 
Evergreen Friedhofe statt. Den hinterbliebenen unser Beileid.

confined to bed and no one had suspected the moment of death had come. On 
Saturday afternoon she was with her three year old son alone home, she 
suddenly collapsed to the ground. As luck would have it she was soon found 
here and doctorly help was called upon, despite this, a few hours later she

MICHAEL KLUSTIN   cemetery #89A

Michael Klustin, 52 (picture), a Russian who came to Manitowoc to start life 
anew in the United Sates and who later located at Kewaunee, died yesterday 
afternoon in a Green Bay hospital.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Pfeffer funeral home, 
the Rev. A.C. Fischer officiating. Burial will be in Pioneers Rest cemetery, 
Two Rivers.
Mr. Klustin was employed as a bookkeeper at the Wood-Steel Products company in 
Kewaunee and was taken suddenly ill Sunday and moved to Green Bay. He had no 
immediate survivors. He was born in Russia in 1895.
When he came to this city last January, he was a guest at the August Gloe home. 
He met James Gloe, a son of the Gloes, in Germany shortly before V-E day while 
he was acting as an interpreter for the American military government in which 
Gloe was an officer. It was the Manitowoc man who suggested that Klustin come 
to America which he eventually did. For a time he was employed by the Aluminum 
Goods Manufacturing company. 
Taken into captivity when the Wehrmacht overran Yugoslavia, Klustin was saved 
from the brutal labor policy of a German slate mine by his mastery of five 
languages and was pressed into service as an interpreter for the Nazis.
Following his arrival in this city, Klustin, told a Herald-Times reporter that 
the Nazi taskmasters at the slate mine were leading examples of animal 
brutishness and reported witnessing numerous acts of cruelty on the part of 
Nazi guards.
After the German surrender Klustin continued working for the AMG until he was 
able to arrange passage to this country.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home after 7 o'clock tonight.

DEATH BRINGS A KEEN SORROW
Death has seldom brought a deeper sorrow to friends than in the 
announcement of the demise of Mrs. Henrietta Knaak, which occurred 
at her home 1402 South Ninth Street, Monday evening, after a 
protracted illness. 
Mrs. Knaak was 61 years of age and had been a resident of the city 
for more than 40 years. Of late she had been an invalid, and the 
closing years of her life were marked by sorrow and trouble. A 
happy family, a few years ago, death entered its midst and one by 
one the children, four in number, were claimed, until but one 
remained. The father's health was broken by the death of his children 
and he too gave up.
With the death of her husband, the health of Mrs. Knaak failed rapidly 
and although tenderly cared for by a loving daughter, who is now the 
sole survivor of the family, she was unable to recuperate and at last 
the presence of the Grim Messenger released her to join the loved ones 
gone before. Mrs. Knaak was a woman loved and esteemed by a large 
circle of friends and many a heart will be saddened in the knowledge 
that she is no more. To the bereaved daughter, Miss Augusta, the 
sympathy of the community will go out. The funeral will be held Friday.

GEORGIA B. KNAPP   cemetery #4

From Der Nord Westen, 15 June 1905:
A terrible accident happened Tues. evening near Quarry, 
which lies on the Wisconsin Central Railroad about 16 
miles from here. A bridge crosses the Manitowoc River 
there and it appears as though Miss Georgia Knapp, 
daughter of Quarry resident A.D. Knapp, along with other 
girls, tried to climb into a rubber boat. Whether she 
slipped or whether the boat tipped, the other girls were 
not able to say, but she fell into the water which was 
swollen and turbulent because of the recent heavy rains. 
She drowned within sight of her companions. John Last, 
a young man who is in the employ of the Knapps, and who 
saw the incident, jumped in to save her, but was picked 
up by the wild stream and he quickly drowned as well. 
The 2 girls, who had been witness to the event without 
being able to help, went screaming to the Knapp residence 
and told the parents of the misfortune…. Help was obtained 
and the search begun for the bodies as soon as grappling 
hooks arrived from Manitowoc, and with their use both bodies 
were found yesterday morning. John Last comes from Grafton, 
Fond du Lac County, where his parents reside. His father 
was notified by telegraph and arrived yesterday to claim 
his 24-yr. old son’s body. Miss Knapp was 16 yrs. of age 
and was her parents only child. The poor mother was so 
terribly stricken by the event that one fears for her life.
