PAUL O. SCHUBERT cemetery #82 P. O. Schubert Dies Friday at Hospital Paul O. Schubert, age 90, veteran business man of our city, passed away last Friday, Oct 26, at 7 o'clock in the morning at the St. Nicholas hospital in Sheboygan, after being confined there for 11 weeks. On August 8, he suffered a fall while engaged in his work in his studio. Apparently on the road to recovery, he passed away very suddenly. Born in Leschwitz bei Goerlitz, Germany, July 25, 1855, son of Johann Gottlieb and Rabel Becker Schubert, he migrated with his parents to America, coming to Sheboygan. Two years later, at the age of nine years, he came to Kiel with his family, settling on the present site of the Marquardt and Paulsen homes. Erecting a log home, the family became one of the pioneer settlers. As a very young assistant to his father, who was a stone mason, he helped to build such places as the "cooling cellar" in the present Fred Sieling grocery store. At the age of fifteen years, he traveled to Sheboygan on foot. While aimlessly wandering around on the streets there, he stopped before a display case in front of the George Groh photograph gallery and then and there decided to become a photographer. Admiring the ambition in one so young, Mr. Groh immediately hired him as an apprentice. Being penniless he asked the owner of the Mohr Bakery for a place to eat and sleep. Mr. Mohr provided him with shelter and food in return for which he paddled rolls at four o'clock every morning. After five years of apprenticeship, he bought a horse and wagon. He equipped the wagon as a photograph gallery. With Kiel his headquarters, he traveled around in this vicinity, taking tintype pictures. On Sundays he photographed in Kiel, parking his wagon on the site of the Standard Oil Co. station on the corner of Fremont and Seventh streets. With the rapid growth of his business, he established himself in larger quarters on the present location. In 1880 he entered into a partnership with his brother, Fred, identifying the business as the Schubert Brothers Studio. Branch studios were operated in Franklin, New Holstein, Chilton, Hilbert, Hayton, Marytown, Brillion, and Random Lake. He was associated in the partnership until February, 1932, when Fred died. Since then he conducted the business with the assistance of his niece, Mrs. Edgar A. Paulsen. "Uncle Paul," as he was affectionately known, traveled extensively in Europe and the United States. Always a ready conversationalist he was vitally and keenly interested in current affairs. Mr. Schubert was a former member of the Wisconsin National Guard. He was associated with the state and national photographers associations, Kiel Chamber of Commerce, Odd Fellows, and a charter member of the First Presbyterian church of Kiel. He was an active photographer for 75 years. He always lived with his brother, Fred and family. After Fred's demise he maintained his home at the Schubert homestead with his niece, Mrs. E.R. Hayner and family. The Rev. R.E. Dreger officiated at the funeral services at the Presbyterian church, on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Eugene Thieleke, accompanied by Mr. Schubert's grandniece, Karen Jan Hayner, sang "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" and "The Lord's Prayer." The pallbearers were six nephews: Raymond, Rewald, Elmer and Harry Schubert, Arthur Eick and Edwin Hayner. The survivors are his sister, Mrs. Selma Traute of Sheboygan, six nieces, Mrs. Vincent Rose and Miss Louise Schubert of Milwaukee; Mrs. Arthur Eick and Miss Ida Traute of Sheboygan; Mrs. Edwin Hayner and Mrs. Edgar Paulsen of this city; four nephews: Raymond Schubert of Sheboygan, and Rewald, Elmer and Harry Schubert of Milwaukee; seven grandnieces, one grandnephew and one great-grand-nephew. *********** From The History of Kiel About 1875, Paul O. Schubert, who had served a five year apprenticeship photographer at the George Groh Gallery in Sheboygan, purchased a horse and wagon and equipped the wagon as a photo gallery. With Kiel serving as his headquarters he traveled around the adjoining communities, taking tin type pictures. On Sundays he did photography in Kiel, parking his wagon on the corner of Fremont and 7th Streets (702 Fremont). Business boomed and it wasn't long before Paul established himself at 608 Fremont Street. In 1880, he entered into a partnership with his brother, Fred, calling the business Schubert Brothers Studio. Known for their quality photography, branch studios were operated in Franklin, New Holstein, Chilton, Hilbert, Hayton, Marytown, Brillion and Random Lake. In 1932, after Fred had passed away, Paul conducted his business with the assistance of his niece, Mrs. Edgar A Paulsen, until the time of his death, October 26, 1945, at the age of 90. He had been an active photographer for 75 years.

FRED SCHUETTE (d. 1917) cemetery #44 EX-MAYOR FRED SCHUETTE, HEAD SCHUETTE BROS CO., DIES SUNDAY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS Had Been Identified With Business Interests of City for More than Half Century and Was Widely Known. One of Founders of County Fair Fred Schuette, ex-mayor, president of the Schuette Bros. company and one of the most prominent businessmen of Manitowoc county, died at the family home on South Eighth street shortly after noon Sunday, aged 73 years, news of the death of Mr. Schuette coming as a surprise and shock to the community, few persons knowing that he was critically ill. Widespread sorrow was expressed about the city over the announcement. Mr. Schuette’s death followed a critical illness of less than a week, during most of which time he was able to be about. Saturday his condition became alarming and Dr. Lemon, a noted surgeon of Milwaukee was called in consultation and gave little hope. Sunday morning Mr. Schuette became unconscious and at 1 o’clock passed away. Members of the immediate family were at his bedside when the end came. Underwent Operation. Two months ago Mr. Schuette underwent an operation for appendicitis at the hospital but had apparently recovered and though he had not attempted to give the close application to his business interest for which he was known before his illness, he had visited the store daily up to a week ago. He failed to regain his old-time strength and had consulted specialists at Milwaukee and was hopeful of early restoration. Friends had not known that Mr. Schuette’s condition was serious and the announcement of his demise came as a shock. In Business 55 Years. Mr. Schuette had been engaged in the mercantile business in this city for 55 years and was known throughout the county and in the state as one of the leading business men of this section. Born at Bremen, Germany, Dec. 2, 1844, Mr. Schuette came to America with his parents in 1848 and a year later the family located in Manitowoc where in May, 1849, John Schuette, father of the decedent, established a store from which the present mammoth business of Schuette Bros. company has grown. Mr. Schuette’s father died in 1863 and the store was conducted by John and Henry Schuette, sons. Later Fred Schuette became a member of the company and August and George Schuette also became associated and the firm became known as the Schuette Bros. Was President of the Co. For years, and at the time of his death, Fred Schuette was president of the company and directed the vast interests of the concern. He was familiar with every detail of the business and was recognized as one of the most successful business men of the city. For two years, in 1868 to 1870 Mr. Schuette sailed a schooner owned by his company and operated between this city and Chicago and Milwaukee. Served City as Mayor. Mr. Schuette had always taken an active interest in public affairs and served several terms as a member of the city council and later as mayor of the city, having been elected in 1890 and served until 1894. It was during Mr. Schuette’s administration as chief executive of the city that the water works was installed, though the franchise to the old Water Works company was passed under the previous administration. Mr. Schuette gave much time and attention to the installation of the water works system, insisting upon the city securing the best possible service.

ARTHUR C. SCHUETZE cemetery #44 City Pauses to Pay Tribute at Schuetze Rites Hundreds Attend Funeral Services For Mayor This Afternoon Manitowoc paused this afternoon to pay tribute to Mayor Arthur Schuetze, who died Friday morning and whose funeral was held today from the First Lutheran church. Church Is Filled Mourners and friends filled the church to capacity long before 2 o'clock this afternoon. Many unable to gain admission, remained in their cars at the curbs, awaiting conclusion of the services to join the funeral procession to Evergreen cemetery. The casket, surrounded by floral tributes, occupied a place in front of the altar. The Rev. D.G. Ristad, in eulogizing the late mayor, said he was untiring in "selling Manitowoc to its own citizens and the outside world." "There was no place on earth like Manitowoc to him," Rev. Rislad said. "He entered into everything with a single-minded and single-hearted enthusiasm what was as genuine as it was contagious. His services to the city sprang from his unwavering faith in the future progress of its activities." City Offices Close All city offices closed at noon today and the various city departments shut down to allow workers to attend the funeral. The body was brought to the church at 10 o'clock this morning from the funeral home. Hundreds viewed it before the hour of services at two o'clock. Many mayors and officials from Wisconsin cities were among mourners at the church. Vocal solos were sung by Mrs. Clayton Shaw and former Alderman Ray Wernecke. "When a person passes away who has filled the executive branch of the government in a municipalilty and filled it unselfishly and with distinction the entire community is touched by the bereavement," Rev. Ristad said. Voices City's Respect "Today we are gathered, not only to pay tribute to the memory of a one in whom the citizens of this community had reposed its signal confidence by making him the token and the expression of the will and the unity of the local government. The forward look, the spirit of progress, the ideal of government possessed by the community electorate should, and generally does, find its expession in the type of men chosen to conduct the affairs of the body politic, whether in the community, the state or the nation, and especially is this true of the person chosen to fill the most responsible place, to be the head, and to furnish the leadership in all matters that effect the honor and welfare of all the citizens. The integrity, honestly, loyalty and the courage of the citizenship is reflected in the qualities found in (Continued on Page 11, Co. 2) the members of its government, and personified in, its executive head. The stream never rises higher than its source. "But where of one degree of excellence or of another, government should be honored, because by so doing the citizenship honors itself, and even more so, it honors God. For this is the christian view of goverment; "The powers that be are ordained by God; that are ministers to thee for good-Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; honor to whom honor." Loved His Home City "For conscience sake, therefore, we honor men in public office while they live, and we pay tribute to their memory when God in His wisdom removes them from this life by death. "To Mayor Arthur C. Schuetze the city of Manitowoc was not only his and his family's home town; in his mind and heart he identified himself with every interest and every civic activity, not as an onlooker but as a participant. There was no place on earth like Manitowoc to him. To make use of an everyday figure of speech, he wanted to sell Manitowoc to its own citizens, and he never tired of selling it to the outside world. Whether it was the funishings for a church, the paving of a street, the building of a city hall, a fire station, a public school, or the making of our harbor a federal project; whether it was the promotion of a singing club, a baseball league, a fraternal club, or the support of an orchestral band, or the putting on of a homecoming celebration, he entered into it with a single-minded and single-hearted enthusiasm that was as genuine as it was contagious. He approaced every job with a naive directness, revealing that to him the important thing was to get the job done, and done so as to be a credit to and a benefit to the people of our city. "As the details of his accomplishments as a business man and a public servant have been carefully recorded in our local press, I shall not dwell upon it here. Educated Here "He was the son of immigrant parents of German stock, William Schuetze and Louise Hartung among the early settlers in Manitowoc county. He was born at Two Rivers on the 3rd day of June, 1878. At the age of two his folks moved to Manitowoc where he received his education and business training, and where he during his mature years identified himself with the varied business and civic activities of the city. "Until last August he seemed in vigorous health after that time his health broke; surgical and medical care could not overcome the malady from which he suffered. While fellow citizens and many friends throughout the state knew of his illness, the news of his death came as a distinct shock. His day is done; the city is in mourning, for we cherish the belief that his services to the city sprang from his unwavering faith in the future progress of its activities, in commerce, in the industries, in the growth of municipal effieciency and in its advancement in culture. "We hope and pray that the God of all government may so direct the minds of our people as to give to our community unselfish, intelligent and honest leadership in the government of our city," he said. Marine Band Plays As the funeral procession reached the entrance to Evergreen cemtery the Manitowoc Marine band played a dirge. The Rev. Ristad spoke briefly in final rites at the family lot. The band played "Nearer My God to Thee" at the close. Many floral offerings banked the mayor's coffin at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home. Among the pieces was a design from members of the Manitowoc club of the Northern State league. There was a miniature ball diamond in flowers with crossed bats and an official league baseball, which bore the signature of Mr. Schuetze. He was president of the league. The Manitowoc Central Labor council, at a special meeting adopted a resolution on the death of Mayor Schuetze. He was a member of the carpenter's union. The resolution follows: WHEREAS, Brother Arthur Schuetze has all his life been active in the civic and recreational affairs, concerning the public at large, and prior to his death has served the public in the capacity as Mayor of Manitowoc; and WHEREAS, Brother Arthur Schuetze has been a member of the Carpenters Union No. 849, and was always friendly to Labor in all its policies; and WHEEREAS, organized labor of Manitowoc regrets that Brother Arthur Schuetze, who was honored and respected, has departed from this life; therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Delegates of the Manitowoc Central Labor Council and all affiliated Unions, extend their sincere sympathy and condolence to his relatives and friends; and be it further RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be spread on the records of the Manitowoc Central Labor Council.
