Last Wednesday Wm. Lahey, a young man living near the tannery of
the Wisconsin Leather Company, north of this city, was accidentally
shot while cleaning his gun, the wound causing his death within a
few hours. It appears that he wished to get the breech from off the
barrels and as it was somewhat rusted he put it in the blacksmith's
forge to burn off the rust, forgetting that the gun was loaded.  In
a short time there was an explosion and he fell to the floor
fatally wounded. The charge entered his abdomen causing an internal
hemorrhage, and although medical assistance was immediately
summoned it was impossible to save his life. He was buried on 
Thursday in the Catholic cemetery at this place. The deceased was a

ALBERT LANDRETH   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 20 Apr. 1899:
Word arrived here Sun. morning that Albert Landreth died Sat. evening in Florida. 
The local resident had built a home there in which to spend the winter months. Last 
Nov. he and his family made the trip down there again and all communications from 
there indicated everything was fine until the report of his death from malarial fever 
was received. 
The deceased was born 04 Feb. 1858 in Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and one 
can conclude that he was of Pennsylvania Dutch derivation. Mr. Landreth came to 
Manitowoc in 1875 and established a nursery, then in 1889 he established a factory 
for canning peas which became nationally known. He built another pea canning plant 
in Sheboygan in 1893. From these he became a very wealthy man. He is survived by a 
widow and 3 children. His body was brought here and will be buried this afternoon 
in the city cemetery.
