Thereafter, the widow made application for administration in the county court of Manitowoc County, through Henry J. Gerpheide as attorney, and Mr. Wm. Rathsack was appointed administrator, the object being to commence suit against the railroad company for causing the death. Mr. Gerpheide has since then looked carefully into the matter and the law bearing on the case, and he has come to the conclusion that the company is not liable. He succeeded in securing an offer from the company of a certain sum as sympathy to the family but they refused to accept. Mr. Gerpheide is of the opinion that the plaintiff could not recover any damages and personally has dropped the case. Manitowoc Daily Herald, May 2, 1899 P.2 ******** [cause: spinal meningitis]

Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, January 12, 1916 P.1 ********* HENRY SCHERER, SR., FATHER OF LATE ALD. WM. SCHERER, DIES FEW HRS. AFTER FUNERAL OF HIS SON Civil War Veteran and Pioneer settler of City Succumbs to Injuries Suffered in Fall on Icy Walk Three Weeks ago. Funeral to be Held on Sunday Death came to Henry Scherer, Sr., civil war veteran and pioneer resident of the city, on the day that the funeral of his son, the late Ald. William Scherer, was held yesterday, Mr. Scherer passing away at the hospital a few hours after the burial of his son at Evergreen. The family has the sympathy of the public in the double bereavement which has come to it. Mr. Scherer's death was due to injuries, which he sustained three weeks ago when he suffered the fracture of his hip in a fall on an icy walk. Owing to his advanced age, the inury was a most serious one and his ????tion had held out little hope of recover. The death of his son a few days ago undoubtedly hastened his demise, proving a great shock to him. The accident which resulted in the death of Mr. Scherer occurred at his home, 1219 So. Eleventh street, three weeks ago and he was removed to the hospital where his death occurred ??? night. Mr. Scherer was 83 years of age and a native of Germany. He came to America sixty two years ago and for more than half a century had been a resident in this city, and was married here. Mr. Scherer served in the civil war as a member of the 45th Wisconsin and later returned here. He was a member of Walker Post, G.A.R. and was well known. Besides his aged widow, who is prostrated by the double bereavement in the death of her husband and son, Mr. Scherer is survived by three children, Edward, this city, Mrs. Charles West of Milwaukee and Henry, Jr., of Neshoto, Mrs. West, who was here for the funeral of her brother, Ald. Scherer had returned to Milwaukee last evening and upon arrival there received the message announcing the death of her father and she will return for the funeral. The funeral for Mr. Scherer will be held Sunday afternoon from the Reformed church of which he had been an active member for more than forty years.

A call for an informal meeting the city council to be held this evening to arrange for attendance at the funeral, has been issured by Mayor Edward Thorison. The council will attend the funeral in a body. The death of Alderman Scherer came as a shock to his associates in the city's official family and to the city, he having been ill but ten days. Death was due to pneumonia and complications and while his condition had been critical, it was not until Saturday that physicians abondoned hope of his recovery. The end came Sunday afternoon, Mr. Scherer being surrounded by members of his family as death claimed him.

Alderman Scherer was serving his second two-year term as a member of the council, having been first elected in 1913 from the Third ward on the socialist ticket. He was one of two members of that part to be re-elected in the campaign last spring and the first of his party to be named in the Third ward. In his service in the council Alderman Scherer was named on important committees, being chairman of the police committee during his two terms. He was interested in the improvement of the department and only recently introduced a recommentation in the council for purchase of a motor patrol. He was also a member of committees on public improvements, on licenses and on streets. Mr. Scherer was a strong advocate of the rights of the small property owner of the city and was constantly watchful of the interests of his constituents. He was determined in his opposition to measures which he deemed unjust and as determined to support of those things which he believed for the general public good and while not an orator, he was active in debates on questions of public policy. Mr. Scherer was known as a supporter of the administration policies as outlined by Mayor Stolze. Besides his wife Mr. Scherer is survived by seven children, William, this city; Mrs. Mayme Seefluth, Madison, Omar, Boyd, Arline, Roy and Florella of this city.
