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.
********
The remains of Albert Landreth, accompanied by Mrs. Landreth 
and the children arrived in the city this afternoon at 4:20 
over the Chicago & Northwestern road. They were met at the 
depot by a large gathering of citizens. Members of the Masonic 
order to which the deceased formerly belonged, were present 
in a body and acted as an escort to the remains on the way 
to the family residence. The funeral service will be held 
from the house, corner of Park and Ninth streets, at 2 o'clock 
tomorrow afternoon.

The late Albert Landreth was a member of the Masonic,

KENNETH LANG

KENNETH LANG LOSES BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE-DEATH SAD.
A brave fight for life was lost by Kenneth Lang, a North Side boy 
Friday night, when Death claimed him at the home of his parents Mr. 
and Mrs. Harry Lang, 616 Buffalo street. The dead boy was 21 years 
of age and a victim of that insiduous foe, consumption. Last June, 
his health failing, he was taken to the sanitarium at Wales where 
he remained until five weeks ago, returning home when hope of his 
recovery was abandoned, and for several days past his life had been 
hanging in the balance.
The death of Mr. Lang is pathetically sad and will awaken sympathy 
for the bereaved family. A young man of bright mind, ambitious and 
with the promise of a successful career before him, he was popular 
and respected and his death will be deplored by many who knew him. 
Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Margaret and 
Genevieve and one brother Sydney.
The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from St. Paul's M.E. 
church.
