Died in this city, July 20, 1872, of consumption, Lewis T. Richards,
second son of Jonah and Mary Ann Richards, aged 18 years and three months.
The subject of the notice, thus cut down in the flower of his youth, by
that fell disease, consumption, for seven long months lingered on a bed of
sickness, which he bore with a fortitude and resignation only equaled by
those of more mature years. He met his fate with a calmness and
resignation possessed by none but those who relied on the blood shed by
the Savior of Mankind, and surrendered his life into the hands of his
Maker, with a blissful consciousness of a happy mortality.

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
