HENRY LUECHS   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 15 Nov. 1906:
A severely injured man, whose name has been given variously as 
Henry Roch or Henry Lueh, was brought here from Clarks Mills on 
Tuesday morning and admitted to Holy Family Hospital. He was 
unconscious and unable to speak, but it is said that he has been 
working as a house painter in Clarks Mills for some time. Most 
recently he was working on the store of Anton Denk's in Clarks 
Mills, giving it a new coat of paint. He also lived there. He went 
up to his quarters Monday evening about 9:30, which is in the upper 
part of the building, but later was found bloody and unconscious
lying at the foot of the steps. 
(Much editorial speculation concerning the possible cause.) When 
examined by the doctors it was found that he had a fractured skull 
and a broken cheekbone….  
*********
From Der Nord Westen, 22 Nov. 1906:
Henry Rotch, the house painter about whom we reported last week as 
being taken to the hospital from Clarks Mills with a fractured skull 
and cheekbone, has died of his injuries. Before his death he regained 
consciousness and told Dr. Luhmann that in the pitch dark he had fallen 
down the stairs, thus all speculation was ended. Because Rotch could 
not name any relative, his body was buried at the expense of the county.

ANNA E.C. LUEPS / LUPS   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 08 Apr. 1909:
Wide sorrow greeted the news Monday afternoon that Miss Anna Lueps had died.
Miss Lueps was born 06 February 1860, daughter of the late Jacob Lueps, one 
of the earliest pioneers of Manitowoc. She attended the local schools and 
when she was grown worked several years as a teacher here and in Kiel. She 
suffered with a slow illness for a long time and made a trip to Germany last 
year to consult with specialists, but even those doctors were unable to help 
her, so she came back to her hometown. A short while ago the illness took a 
downturn… and her pain eventually was so great that one must consider her death 
as a release. Miss Lueps was an active and faithful member of Cilo Club and of 
the Ladies Aid Society. She is survived by a brother, Wm. G. Lueps, Asst. Inland 
Revenue Collector here, and 3 sisters –Misses Clausine and Johanne here, and Mrs. 
Heins in Wittenberg, Wisconsin. The funeral will be held this afternoon at the 
city cemetery.
********
DEATH WAS SHOCK
Funeral of Miss Lueps To Be Held on Thursday
Announcement of the death of Miss Anna Leups came as a great shock to 
her many acquaintances here and their sympathy is freely bestowed upon 
the bereaved family. Miss Leups was 49 years of age and is survived by 
one brother, William G. and three sisters Mrs. Heins of Wittenberg and 
Misses Johans and Gesine of this city. The decedent was a woman whose 
many kind deeds and charity were well known though she was unostentatious 
in her giving and those who knew her best will mourn her as a loved one. 
Miss Leups was born in this city and attended the city schools, later 
adopting the teaching profession here and at Kiel. She was a member of 
the Clio Club and of the Ladies Aid society and was active in the work 
of both. A year ago Miss Leups visited Europe remaining abroad for 
several months. The funeral will be held on Thursday afternoon from 
the late home at 2 p.m.

WILLIAM G. LUEPS   cemetery #44

William Lueps Well Known Resident Dies
PROMINENT IN POLITICS AND LOCAL AFFAIRS
Lover of Horses; Imported First Holsteins And As Pigeon Fancier Won 
Many Prizes Here And In the State
William G. Lueps, 80, (Photo) lifelong resident of Manitowoc, former 
government internal revenue collector, attorney, collector, and county 
official, died Saturday evening at the home, 863 North Tenth street. 
He had been in failing health since last March when he injured his leg 
in a fall on a slippery walk.
Managing the estate of his father, the late Jacob Lueps for years, the 
deceased took an active interest in horses and blooded stock. He gained 
the distinction of being the first to introduce blooded Holstein-Friesian 
cattle into Manitowoc county in the '80's.
Funeral services for Mr. Lueps will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the 
Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home, with interment at Evergreen 
cemetery.
Born in Manitowoc, August 14, 1853, the son of the late Jacob and 
Katherine Lueps, the deceased spent his entire life in this city. 
Educated in the local schools he entered Lawrence college, at Appleton 
and after graduating from there took up the study of law in the law 
offices of H.G. and Will Turner in this city. Later he was admitted to 
the bar.
Gives Up The Law
Death of Jacob Lueps, father of the deceased in 1876 threw the burden 
of administering the Lueps estate of over 200 acres, located just west 
of the city limits back of the present Holy Family hospital, on the 
shoulders of William Lueps. He developed this property by the addition 
of more land along the river and gave up all thought of law practice to 
take charge of the estate.
It was in the late eighties that Mr. Lueps was told by a friend of the 
supremacy of Holstein-Friesian cattle and journeyed to northern Illinois 
where he purchased some of the blooded stock and brought them back to 
Manitwooc county. It was the first of this breed of cattle to be brought 
here. Mr. Lueps was also a great lover of horses and owned a large stable 
and in addition was a pigeon fancier and showed his birds at many county 
shows.
Held County Offices
For years Mr. Lueps represented the town of Manitowoc in several town 
offices and was also elected chairman of the town, serving for a number 
of terms on the county board of supervisors. He also took a great interest 
in the county fair and for many years served on the fair board.
In 1898 he was appointed to the post of government internal revenue 
collector in Manitowoc and during the years that he held the post 
maintained offices in the postoffice here. In later years he engaged in 
the insurance and collection business which he continued until a few months 
ago.
Politically Mr. Lueps was always a republican and was prominent in county 
conferences of that party in the long span of years that he was active 
in public life. He was also one of the early members of the Freier 
Saengerbund singing society and was prominent in the participation of the 
golden jubilee of that pioneer singing group a number of years ago. He was 
also a member of the Royal League.
Surviving Family
The deceased was married in 1883 to Miss Pauline Krieger of Kiel, who 
survives him with two sons, Edward of Milwaukee and Otto of this city, a 
daughter Edna, city, and two sisters, Miss Johanna Leups, city and Mrs. 
W.G. Heins, Madison, Wis.
The remains may be viewed at the Wattawa Urbanek and Schlei funeral home 
up to the hour of the funeral Tuesday afternoon.

FREDERICK S. LUHMAN   cemetery #44

DR. LUHMAN, CIVIC LEADER, PHYSICIAN FOR COUNTY, DIES
Dies at 82 Of A Stroke After Long Service; Funeral Friday
Dr. Frederick S. Luhman, 82, (photo) who began the practice of 
medicine in Manitowoc in 1880, and who enjoyed the distinction 
of being the oldest active official of Manitowoc county in point 
of service, died of a stroke Tuesday night at his home, 1013 
South Eighth street. He was stricken at his home Monday morning 
and died without regaining conscousness.
Despite more than four score years, Dr. Luhman, who for over 35 
years was county physician and who during his long practice here 
also served eight terms as county coroner, continued the active 
practice of medicine. He insisted on "staying in the harness" and 
made daily calls on patients in whose families he had been the 
attending physician for half a century or more.
The passing of Dr. Luhman last night ended an active community 
life that began when he was a boy of 15 years when he took up the 
teaching of the district school in the town of Newton. A graduate 
of the University of Wisconsin, Rush Medical college and a post 
graduate of the best medical schools in Vienna, Austria, Dr. Luhman 
located in this city in 1880, became one of the county's leading 
practitioners.
Funeral Friday
He served on the board of the school distrct that erected and had 
charge of the old First Ward school in the days of the district 
school system in Manitowoc.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the home, under 
the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which the deceased was a member, 
almost since reaching his majority. Rev. Wm. Hood will officiate and 
interment will be at Evergreen cemetery. The Elks lodge, of which Dr. 
Luhman was a life member, will also be represented at the services.
Frederick S. Luhman was born May 25, 1851, at Franklin, Sheboygan 
county, and when a boy in his teens was pressed into service to teach 
the district schools in the town of Newton. He had barely passed his 
fifteenth birthday at that time. Later he attended Ripon college for 
two years, and still later entered the University of Wisconsin, from 
which he graduated in 1875. He next enrolled in Rush Medical college 
at Chicago, being graduated and given a diploma for the practice of 
medicine in 1877.
Went to Europe
After practicing for a year at Two Rivers, Dr. Luhman was married 
in this city to Miss Magdalene Simon. They left for Europe where Dr. 
Luhman took post graduate work in the medical schools in Vienna, 
remaining there for two years. After being graduated there he returned 
to Manitowoc where in 1880 he established himself in the practice of 
medicine. He continured that practice over a span of 52 years without 
interruption.
Dr. Luhman took up his first duties as a county official fifty years 
ago this month, in January, 1883. He was elected coroner in the fall 
of 1882 and assumed office the next year. He was chosen coroner for 
seven successive terms, 14 years. Then he retired but in 1898 he was 
again named coroner for another term.
Retiring from this office Dr. Luhman was selected by the county board 
of supervisors to serve as county physician, and he continued to fill 
this office year after year, being renamed without opposition by the 
county board. In still later years he was also chosen the physician 
at the county asylum and only gave up this post last year.
Golden Wedding
The deceased served several terms as a member of the school board of 
the south side school district under the old district system of schools 
here. During the World War Dr. Luhman served as medical examiner for 
the draft board. For years he served as examining
(Continued on page 11)
(Continued from page 1)
physician for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company, the 
Metropolitan, Prudential and a number of other old line life insurance 
companies.
Four years ago Dr. and Mrs. Luhman observed their golden wedding 
anniversary with a gathering of their children and hosts of friends at 
their South Eighth street home, and were looking forward to the 55th 
anniversary which they had hoped to celebrate this coming summer.
Besides his widow, Dr. Luhman is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Elsa 
Zeniner, and Mrs. Elmer Bleser, both of this city, and two son, Dr. 
Frederich W. Luhman of Bender, Nebraska, and Attorney Hugo F. Luhman 
of Yakima, Wash, one sister, Miss Emma Luhman of Los Angeles, Cal., 
three brothers, Otto of Seattle, Wash., Henry of Fostville, Iowa, and 
Theodore of Los Angeles, Cal., six grandchildren and two great grand-
children also survive.
Manitowoc Herald Times, Wednesday, January 11, 1933 P.1
*********
What threatened to be a serious accident was narrowly averted at 
Eleventh and Washington streets, yesterday, one block from the 
already famous Death Crossing, when a city street car crashed into 
the buggy of Dr. Luhman from the rear. Dr. Luhman was proceeding 
west on Washington street when, in order to avoid material left in 
the street by workmen on the Mikado theatre, he turned onto the car 
track. The car was right upon the rig and although Joseph Giemer, 
the motorman, reversed the motor, it struck the vehicle and tossed 
it from the track. The buggy narrowly escaped being overturned, but 
fortunately no damage was done.
