Impressive funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the Meiselwitz undertaking parlors. The Arion orchestra was present in a body, and the Furniture factory closed for the afternoon to give his many friends an opportunity to attend the last services. The Rev. Otto Saewert was in charge of the ceremonies, and interment took place in the Kiel cemetery. Mr. Mundt had always been of a cheerful and willing disposition, and among his friends he counted every one, from the youth to the old age of Kiel. It had been his habit, for the past 20 years, to bring the Sunday morning mail regularly to the Louisa Lindner home, a little act of kindness typical of him. He had been living at the home of Mrs. Caroline Kissinger until the time of his death. - 1927

CAPT. JOSEPH MUNGER cemetery #44 DROPS DEAD ON STREET Capt. Joseph Munger Stricken Down Late This Afternoon by Heart Disease BEEN AILING LONG TIME Not Thought There Was Any Danger—Had Been Home But Two Days— Wife And Two Children Mourn Sad Affliction Captain Joseph Munger, for years in the service of the Goodrich Transportation Company, died suddenly at 8:15 this afternoon. While walking on Commercial street, he was stricken with heart failure and died before medical assistance could be rendered him. The body was removed ot the home on North Fifth street. Capt. Munger had been in failing health for some time, although no immediate danger was anticipated. He arrived in the city Wednesday in command of the steamer Atlanta, and was to have taken the boat out tonight. During the season of navigation he had been on the east shore route and this was his first trip home in several months. Deceased was about 50 years of age and had been a resident of this city for a number of years. A wife and two daughters survive him. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, December 14, 1900, Page 1 ********** BROUGHT DEEP SORROW Did Announcement of the Sudden Death of Captain Joseph Munger Friday ON THE LAKES MANY YEARS Had Been in Service of Goodrich Transportation Co. Since 1894— Home on Visit of Two Days When He Was Called A sadness such as falls upon the heart only when the sighs of death whisper an earthly farewell as some spirits frail bark puts off into the unknown dark, came to the friends of the late Capt. Joseph Munger when the announcement of his sudden demise went abroad Friday. The circumstances surrounding the death are sad and a widespread and heartfelt sympathy is awakened for the bereaved family so unexpectedly called upon to mourn. Separated from his wife and children many months by the duties of his employment he was but Wednesday privileged to visit them and after a visit of scarcely two days, is called away for all time. Anticipated felicity in the possibility of frequent home visits from him, is now turned to sorrow in his death. Truly it is an unpitying decree of fate and a vivid illustration of the uncertainty of human life. For more than two years, Mr. Munger had been in failing health, but immediate danger was unthought of by his friends. About a month ago he contracted a cold and when he came home and was quite ill although not sufficiently so to take to his bed. On the day of his death he was about town and complained of pain in his chest. At 8 o’clock he was at the Goodrich docks and while on his way up town from there, was stricken with the attack which resulted in his death. On Commercial street at the corner of Seventh, he grew faint and rested on the stoop of Svacina’s hotel. Passerby noticed that something was amiss and assisted him into the house, summoning a physician with all haste. The patient revived somewhat after entering the hotel, but soon lapsed into unconsciousness and when medical aid arrived was beyond the power of earthly assistance although every means was used to instill life. Joseph Munger, the subject of this sketch was born in Louis county, N.Y. forty eight years ago and came with his parents to Wisconsin in early youth. At the age of eighteen he launched into life for himself and followed the lakes from that time until his death. On December 17, 1876 he was married to the wife who survives him and in 1888 the family took up their residence here, where they have since resided. For a number of years Capt. Munger was on the barge Francis Hinton, owned here, and in 1894 entered the employ of the Goodrich Transportation Company and has since been in command of the steamers Sheboygan, Chicago and Atlanta of that line. Decedent was a man widely known and highly respected not alone in his resident city, but by the many with whom he came in contact in his work. He was a conscientious employee and an efficient officer, commanding the esteem of the company in whose service his death occurred. In his private relations as husband, father, brother and friend he was loyal, affectionate and kind and to many who knew him intimately his death will bring a keen sorrow in a sense of personal loss. In his home, the deceased, found his chief enjoyment and he sought to make it everything the word implied. The welfare of his family was his chief ambition and in the hour of death, when the shadows shrouded his vision his last thought was to the loved ones left behind. Besides a wife, two daughters, Eva and Georgia, one sister, Mrs. M. Gano of DePere and one brother, Chas. Munger of Waushara, survive him. An aged mother, 68 years of age, residing at DePere is also alive, but the shock of her son’s death has laid her low and it is feared will prove her death. The funeral will be held from the late home on North Fifth street, Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Manitowoc Daily Herald | Saturday, December 15, 1900 | Page 1 ********* SOLEMN CEREMONY OF THE DEAD - MUNGER On the day that was to have marked the commemoration of the twenty fourth anniversary of his marriage, Joseph Munger, lately deceased, was laid in his grave to await the resurrection morn.

Murphy, well known business man of the city Saturday night when he was stricken almost without warning at his home during the early evening and passed away within a few moments. Mr. Murphy had been about the city as usual Saturday apparently in his usual health and had returned home in the afternoon and spent the evening with his family. Shortly after the evening dinner, he complained of distress and passed away within a short time despite efforts ro relieve him. The news of the death of Mr. Murphy which spread rapidly was a shock to the community of which he had been a resident most of his life and on every side called forth expressions of regret and sympathy. Few men were more widely known in the city and county, Mr. Murphy haveing been identified with the business, civic and political life of the community for a half century. Had Not Been Seriously ill Although Mr. Murphy had not been in robust health for some time, his condition had never been considered alarming and he was about as usual up to the hour the summons came. Saturday he had been down town and visited at the Elks Club where he called daily and had returned home early in (photo) the afternoon but had not complained of illness. Mr. Murphy's death occurred just one year, almost to the day, after that of his brother John Murphy who passed away on March 9, just a day later than the date on which Mr. Murphy was stricken.

Fearing his youth might count against him in his first campaign Mr. Murphy grew a heavy beard which he continued to wear for many years. He was rated as one of the most efficient officers this county has ever had and drew from Judge Gilson the compliment of being the best sheriff in the circuit which included four counties at that time. Served City In Council Besides serving as sheriff Mr. Murphy on a number of occasions served his ward as alderman and during the Cleveland administration served as deputy collector of internal revenue for this district. He was chairman of the committee which had charge of the erection of the present Eight street bridge back in 1892 and one of his cherished possessions was a letter from Fred Schuette, then mayor, commending him for the manner in which the work was handled. He was one of the organizers of the old Advancement Association and a moving spirit in that body and was also one of the men who helped to organize the Manitowoc Building & Loan Association, which now has grown to be a million dollar concern. Built Seating Works Plant It was in April 1892 that the Manitowoc Manufacturing company plant, then on Franklin street between Eleventh and Twelfth on what is known as the triangle, was burned and Mr. Murphy immediately set to work to reorganize the company and erect a new plant. The new plant was known as the Manitowoc Seating company and just a year after the fire it was in operation and has been in continuous operation ever since without a single shut-down in the thirty-two years. A large force of men have always been employed and the product shipped to all parts of the world. When the plant was first organized it was manufacturing school and church funiture and opera chairs. In 1898 a merger of a number of plants throughout the United States was effected under the name of the American School Furniture company. The local plant was turned over to the exclusive manufacture of church furniture and some of the finest carved work is the ???? ???? turned out here (next sentence unreadable). Mr. Murphy became the general manager of all of the plants of the American School Furniture company and for ten years made his home at Chicago and New York the greater part of the time. He never lost his identity with the local plant and resigned his position as the general manager to return here as manager of the local plant, a position which he continured to hold until about a year ago when he retired and was succeded by his son Clement W. Murphy, who now holds the position as manager. Mr. Murphy however continured his interests and acted in an advisory capacity, having his desk at the local office. He had planned several trips for the summer. Interested in Many Projects. In addition to his interest in the Ameriacan School Furniture company Mr. Murphy organized the Manitowoc Real Estate company in 1891. This company platted Lawndale addition to the city and in 1890 he organized the Manitowoc Land & Salt company which was later changed to the Manitowoc Land & Fuel company which is under the management of his son, Francis X. Murphy. The Murphy Cement Construction company was another of his organizations. He later sold his interest in the company which became the Manitowoc Construction company. Funeral Held Tuesday Mr. Murphy was married in 1878 to Miss Charlotte Flynn of Two Rivers, the family immediately taking up their home in this city where Mrs. Murphy died April 1, 1913.
