The burial took place yesterday at the city cemetery. ******* The last sad rites over the mortal remains of the late Mrs. James Richards were held this afternoon. Short services were held at the home at 2 o'clock and at 3 o'clock at the M.E. church. The large attendance was an impressive token of the affectionate regard in which the deceased was held. Rev. Hooton delivered the funeral sermon, choosing for his text the passage of scripture found in Luke 8,52. "She is not dead, but Sleepeth." He paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the departed and dwelt upon the fact that there was no death, what seemed so was but transition. In a few moments they would stand by the grave and say dust to dust, ashes to ashes, but that would be said only of that which was mortal, the shrine or temple; the soul had gone to the God who give it; and they knew and were certain that she had crossed the bar, she still lived and saw her pilot face to face. The memory of her beautiful life should be a perennial source of comfort to the family. Every thought of what she was should be a perpetual inspiration. She was still the loving wife and mother and these thoughts are of comfort when they "sigh for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is stilled." The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful, the casket being almost completely hidden from view. A large funeral cortage followed the remains to their last resting place in Evergreen cemetery.

AUGUST M. RICHTER cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 21 Mar. 1907: Death has taken another of our county’s pioneer settlers. Mr. A.M. Richter, known countywide and a respected resident of our city, died late Tuesday night of old age debility. Mr. Richter was born 18 May 1822 in Kennberg, Saxony. He married in 1850 and promptly journeyed to America, arriving in New York on 04 July of that year. He directed his steps to rapidly growing Wisconsin and settled in Town Wilson, Sheboygan County, on Green Bay Road. He opened a store there but later moved to Town Newton in Manitowoc County where he operated a farm. He came to Manitowoc in 1860 to become a teacher, and a great number of our men and women have him to thank for their education. In 1866 he gave up teaching and, in partnership with Eduard Maerklein, opened a drugstore, a business he continued until 1873. In 1872 he was elected County Clerk and served for two years. In 1875 he opened a vinegar factory which became very successful. During his Manitowoc tenure he served 15 years as Clerk of Schools in the 1st Ward, and variously served as City Clerk, City Treasurer and Alderman. In addition to his sorrowing widow he is mourned by 3 sons – Max, Hugo and Arthur, the latter a professor at the University of Wisconsin. He is also survived by 3 daughters –Miss Emilie, Mrs. Fred Gehm in Chicago, and Mrs. Thekla Klingholz in Denver. Had he lived until 30 April he would have been able to celebrate the 57th Anniversary of his marriage. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the funeral home at 1235 S. 8th Street. The German Odd Fellow Lodge here, of which the deceased was a member, will direct the funeral service. A fine man has been lost in the passing of August M. Richter.

VICTOR RICHTER cemetery #14 Town Of Mosel Farmer Killed In Accident Victor Richter, 22, town of Mosel farmer, was fatally injured and his wife was seriously injured when their car collided with a car owned by Walter Lutzke, 1036 High avenue, on county Trunk M, one mile north of State Highway 32 at 1:15 p.m. Sunday. Mr. Richter died at St. Nicholas hospital at 3:45 p.m. of a fractured skull and other injuries. Mrs. Richter remained in a serious condition at the hospital today with a fractured pelvis and fractured hip. Other occupants of the two cars escaped injury. The victims of the crash were brought to the hospital by Schmitt’s Ambulance service. Information obtained by Sheriff Joseph Dreps, Undersheriff R. J. Froehlich and Traffic Officer Milton Tauscher was to the effect that Mr. Richter was traveling east on a town road near the Manitowoc-Sheboygan county line and Lutzke was traveling north on County Trunk M. The officers reported that Mr. Richter fell onto the road beside his car when the force of the impact presumably jarred open the door. Neither car was badly damaged. Coroner H. H. Heiden reported that Mr. Richter’s skull was fractured down the forehead and that his left eye was gouged out. In addition he sustained a severely lacerated scalp in the back of his head and his nose and right arm was badly injured. Miss Wilma Rothe, 818 Geele Avenue, was driving Mr. Lutzke’s car when the accident occurred. The front bumper of Lutzke’s car hooked with the back bumper of Richter’s car, and the jar was just enough to cause the car belonging to Richter to turn over. Mr. Richter’s mother-in-law who was also in the car escaped injury. The funeral will be held at his home near Cleveland and at the St. Peter and St. John Lutheran church, Cleveland. Burial will be made in the Saxon cemetery. The deceased graduated from the Rhine Center district school, and spent two years at the Kiel High school.

His is survived by his wife; his father, Charles, and his mother, Ernstine; his grandmother, Mrs. Dorothy Richter; two brothers, Milton and Carl; and two sisters, Roma and Doris.

EZEKIEL RICKER cemetery #44 From the Manitowoc Herald, 12 Aug 1854: Judge Ezekiel Ricker died, husband of Amelia Ricker. ******** In this village, on Friday Morning, the 11th inst. Hon. E. Ricker, aged 33 years. While the shafts of death are falling on all sides and striking down the bright ornaments of the social, domestic, professional, and political circle, it were unwise to expect that Manitowoc should escape the dread visitant, who "spares neither the high nor the humble." But the unexpected announcement of the death of Judge Ricker, has fallen with crushing force upon our immediate neighborhood. Within the past two months the citizens of this village have been called upon to pay the last tribute of respect to two of the brightest ornaments of the legal profession. Both had gained high honors as members of the Bar and in the political arena, but both have been stopped in their bright career by the relentless hand of Death. Judge Ricker, was one the early settlers of Manitowoc, and has ever been identified with its interests, has twice represented the County in the Legislature and served one term as Judge of the County Court. He was earnestly devoted to his profession in the pursuit of which, he spent his time and attention with an assiduity seldom equalled. In political life his unbanity of manners, social disposition, and general knowlege of human nature amply qualified him for success, and he secured the good will, even of those who were opposed to him. Political animosity will sleep in the tomb of him who is done with the cares and toils of political life and his bright and glowing qualities will be cherished by all who knew him. The gloom of the cypress shall shroud the dark thoughts of political animosity, and the willow shall raise its branches above the grave of one who shall be remembered as a kind Husband and Father, a good citizen, a liberal, generous hearted, and sincere friend, and his loss will be mourned as a public calamity.
