AUGUST MEYER  (d. 1930)  cemetery #44

TAPS SOUNDED FOR CIVIL WAR VET
AUGUST MEYER DIES AT HOME HERE THURSDAY
93 Year Old Veteran Who Became Known Throughout Nation Passes As 
He Quietly Rests
Rapidly thinning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic were further 
depleted here yesterday at 2:15 o'clock when August J. Meyer, veteran 
of many hard fought battles of the Civil War, passed away as he rested 
in sleep.
The death of Mr. Meyer was as tranquil as the family life which he 
lived in Manitowoc for over 65 years. He had been about as usual up 
until Wednesday night when he complained of being tired and he retired 
early that evening. The following morning he remained in his bed 
although he was up on different occasions during the day. Shortly before 
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon he fell into a deep sleep and passed away 
shortly afterward with his wife a constant companion at his bedside.
One of Three Survivors
Death of Mr. Meyer leaves but two members of the Horace M. Walker Post 
of the G.A.R. surviving and breaks up a trio of veterans consisting of 
Mr. Meyer, Jacob Williams and Frank Braun who were cronies and who 
frequently met to discuss the thrilling events of the war in which they 
participated seventy years ago.
Born near Hamburg, Germany on November 23, 1836, Mr. Meyer was 93 years 
of age at the time of his death. He came to the United States and to 
Manitowoc the year before the Civil war broke out but finding it difficult 
to find work here he continued to Iowa where he enlisted with the outbreak 
of the Civil war in 1861. He served with the Union Army for three years 
before receiving his honorable discharge.
Returns to Manitowoc
Immediately following the conclusion of the war between the states, Mr. 
Meyer returned to Manitowoc where he took up his occupation as a carpenter, 
continuing in that and other lines of work until his retirement only a few 
years ago. Active beyond his years, Mr. Meyer was a familiar figure about 
the city and rode a bicycle until he was well past 80 years of age, 
desisting from that practice at the importunities of his family afer he 
had been run down and seriously injured by an automobile.
In recent years he has lived a retired life but continued to do the chores 
about the home, spading his own garden and taking care of the many flowers, 
the raising of which continued to be a hobby of his until the time of his 
death. At any time in recent years the visitor to the Meyer home may have 
found him seated in his comfortable chair in the kitchen where he discussed 
current and historical events with a keenness of mind of a man 50 years his 
junior.
Was nationally Known
Pictures of and the story of Mr. Meyer's life were sent throughout the nation 
last year as efforts were made to learn the identity of the oldest Civil war 
veteran-youngest child combinatin in the country. At that time he posed for 
a number of newspaper photographers who took photos of him on the occasion 
of his 93rd birthday, the picutes showing him with his 17-year-old daughter, 
Margaret, a graduate of the Lincoln high school with the class of 1929 and 
at present a student at the University of Wisconsin.
Leaves Wife, Daughter
Mr. Meyer was married to Miss Bertha Jauger in 1866, his wife passing away a 
number of years ago. In 1908 he married Mrs. Marie Tegen and his widow with 
one daughter, Margaret, a student at Madison, and several stepchildren survive 
him. He was the last of the Meyer family in this country and leaves no immediate 
survivors other than the widow and the one child.
Military Funeral
Full military honors will be accorded to Mr. Meyer at the funeral services to 
be held at the family home, 912 S. Tenth street, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. 
Services will be in charge of the Women's Relief Corps with Rev. D.C. Ristad 
officiating for the burial rites. Interment will take place at Evergreen.

ST. NAZIANZ, Jan. 13---With the burial here on Wednesday morning 
of Mrs. Frances Meyer, another of the old settlers of this community 
passed from the stage on which she took an active part for many years. 
Mrs. Meyer passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Catherine 
Derler, in Milwaukee, last Sunday morning. The remains were brought 
to her old home on the farm now occupied by one of her grandsons. 
The funeral was held from there Wednesday morning and after a solemn 
high mass at the parish church. Interment was made in the village 
churchyard beside the remains of her husband who preceded her in death 
about twenty-four years. Rev. Fintan Holzknecht, S.D.S. officiated. 
Miss Frances Grotzinger was born in Germany on August 24, 1849 and at 
the age of three came to this country with her parents, coming almost 
directly to this vicinity and established their home here among the 
other pioneers. After her marriage to Mr. Meyer they settled on the

from a piece of wild land into one of the good farms of this vicinity. 
Nine children were born of this union and eight of those who still 
survive are as follows; Mrs. Catherine Derler, Milwaukee; Mrs. Christ 
Mayer, Portland, Oregon; Mrs. William Habersetzer, Francis, Wash.;

showing interest in all the work of that organization up to the time she 
left her old home about two years ago to live with her daughter in 
Milwaukee. That she was held in high esteem by many throughout this section

3 YEAR OLD BOY BADLY INJURED BY AUTO THIS MORNING
Little Son of Herman Meyer is Run Down at Cleveland Avenue 
and Eighth Streets
Run down by a Ford truck at Cleveland avenue and Eighth street this 
morning, Freddie, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Meyer 
of Cleveland avenue, was taken to the hospital where an operation upon 
the child may save the boy from serious consequences of the accident. 
The extent of the boy’s injuries could not be stated by physicians this 
afternoon. The child was thrown under the car which did not pass over 
his body. He sustained a dent in the skull from which concussion is 
feared and was severely bruised, ?  being cut in his cheek, his ear 
being badly lacerated and partially torn from the head and ? lacerated 
from contact with the teeth. 
The machine which struck the boy was owned by the Esch Sons company 
being one of the delivery trucks of the company. The child was picked 
up by the driver and taken to the offices of Dr. Gleason where the 
injuries were temporarily dressed and the boy was later removed to 
the hospital for attention. The accident happened at the turn of the 
street at Cleveland avenue and Eighth street where the traction line 
runs to Two Rivers. The Esch car was coming from the boulevard and 
just as it reached the corner, two children who were pulling a small 
wagon in which the Meyer child was seated, started to cross the street 
ahead of the automobile. The approach of the car frightened the children 
who were pulling the wagon and they dropped the handle and started to 
run leaving the boy and the wagon in the roadway to be struck by the 
automobile. Boy and wagon were caught under the car.
