HANS M. SCOVE   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 28 Mar. 1889:
Death on Fri. morning, after a long illness, one of the most widely known 
businessmen in our city, Mr. Hans Scove. He was a ship builder whose name 
was known all across the lakes. Countless steam and sail ships still sail 
giving witness to his skill in shipbuilding. Manitowoc has lost a good 
citizen and energetic contributor to the well being of our city. Mr. Scove 
was born in 1837 in Denmark and came to America at age 18. In Long Island, 
he learned shipbuilding and followed it there many years. During the war he 
served in the "Commodore Perry Flotilla". He was married in 1865 and leaves 
5 children. His burial took place on Sun. afternoon with an extraordinary 
number of mourners attending.

Two Danes, Jasper Hanson and Hans M. Scove, established a shipyard in
Manitowoc and built a number of vessels in the period 1870-1889, but the
carpenters and mechanics who were building these vessels were nearly all
Norwegians. One of these was Julius Johnson, foreman and expert spar
maker in the Hanson and Scove shipyard. He was a graduate of a navigation
school in Norway, and after the panic of 1873 had created hard times for
the shipbuilding industry, he was placed in command of the schooner "John
Schuette," which he sailed for his employers, taking a cargo of deals
from Manitowoc to England. He sailed the vessel back to Wilmington, North
Carolina, where he left it, and then returned to Manitowoc. As told
elsewhere Captain William Lund of Milwaukee went to Wilmington and took
charge of the vessel after Captain Johnson?s return. After sailing it to
Riga, Russia, and other places, he finally brought it back to Chicago in
September, 1879. The vessel was built by Hanson and Scove at their
shipyard at Two Rivers, Wisconsin, where they were located before 1873.
Another Norwegian in the employ of Hanson and Scove was Captain Christen
Olson, born at Grimstad, Norway, in 1830. He came to America in 1854,
settling in Manitowoc, where he served as shipbuilder, and later as
superintendent in the Hanson and Scove shipyard. He was part owner of the
schooner " Industry" and of the scow " Success." He married Miss 
Maren Findahl, a sister of Mrs. O. Torrison of Manitowoc.
The following vessels were built at the Hanson and Scove yards: {88}

1871 schooner "K. L. Bruce" 34 tons capacity
1871 schooner "L. Meeker" 312 tons capacity
1871 schooner "C. Neilson" 315 tons capacity

1873 schooner "Falmouth" 234 tons capacity

After 1873 they had their yard for some years at Two Rivers, where the
following vessels were built: 

1874 schooner "J. O. Thayer" 380 tons capacity
1874 schooner "Granger" 366 tons capacity
1874 schooner "Bertie Calkins" 256 tons capacity
1875 schooner "John Schuette" 289 tons capacity

In 1880 they were again operating their yard at Manitowoc, where they
built the following ships:

GEORGE G. SEDGWICK   cemetery #44

From Der Nord Westen, 31 Jan. 1907:
Death Monday morning of George G. Sedgewick after a 2-month illness with
heart trouble. Mr. Sedgewick had suffered a stroke on 25 November which
paralyzed his left side. At the time it was thought that the end was near, 
but because over time he slowly improved, his actual death was unanticipated. 
Mr. Sedgewick was born 13 February 1843 in Andover, New York. That same year 
he came west with his parents and settled in Bloomington, Illinois, where he 
grew up. In 1862 Mr. Sedgewick served in the 115th Illinois Infantry Regiment 
for a year and received a medical discharge. In 1864 he reentered the Army, 
this time with 132nd Illinois Infantry Regiment, and served until the end of

Foster to study law, went to Kewaunee in 1874 and came to Manitowoc in 1880 
where he has lived ever since. He was one of our most eminent attorneys. He

of Pythias and the local Odd Fellows Lodge. His funeral will take place this

Mrs. Sedlachek was Blanche Chaloupka, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe 
Chaloupka of Kingsbridge. She was married but four months ago. She 
was 22 years old and well known. The news of her death came as a 
terrible shock to her friends and relatives. She is survived by her 
husband, father and mother and brothers Edward and William who will 
sadly miss her. Her remains had to be taken away in the evening 
which made the sorrow harder to bear. She was laid to rest in the 
Mishicott cemetery. Mr. Sedlachek was unable to attend for he is 
also suffering with the smallpox and mumps. The stricken family 
have the deepest sympathy of their friends.

DEATH COMES AS MESSENGER OF DELIVERANCE TO MISS MINNIE SEEGER 
AT HOSPITAL TODAY
Decedent, Ill for Months, Had Been Engaged in Practice of Dentistry 
in City for Years
Death's summons came as a deliverance and a message of peace to Miss 
Minnie C. Seeger, dentist, at the hospital early today, and while 
friends, who had known for some time that death was the inevitable 
result, will mourn her demise, they are comforted by the thought that 
her sufferings are over. Miss Seeger had been a patient at the hospital

the local schools and graduated here. In 1900 she began the study of 
dentistry in the offices of Seeger Bros., and later with Seeger Bros. 
& Miller, then with Seeger & Miller, and when the latter firm was 
dissolved, Miss Seeger established offices in the Dempsey Block with 
Dr. Charles Seeger which she continued for five years, until November, 
1913, when she suffered the illness and caused her death today after 
weary months of pain and suffering.
A capable business woman and expert in her profession Miss Seeger had 
achieved a gratifying success when forced to abandon her practice by 
illness. She was removed to the hospital and for several months had 
been a patient at the institution.
Deceased was widely known and had surrounded herself with a large 
circle of friends. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and 
active in the ladies' societies of the church.
Miss Seeger was a member of the Manitowoc County Dental society and 
of the State Dental Society.
Miss Seeger is survived by three brothers, Charles of this city, William, 
Louisville; Robert of Reubens, Idaho, and one sister, Mrs. J.B. Miller, 
of this city.

She decided to return to her duties in the Grant hospital, Chicago, 
as the epidemic there has claimed so many deaths that the nurses 
were overworked. Yesterday afternoon a message was received by her 
brother and sister here, stating that she was much worse and a few 
minutes later came a telegram that she had passed away. 
The deceased was 34 years of age, being born here in 1884. She always 
made her home here until five years ago, when she took up the study 
of nursing at Chicago. After three years training she began her duties 
at the Grant hospital at Chicago where she has been located since. 
Two sisters, Mrs. Louis Just of this city and Mrs. Jessie Massie of 
Knoxville, Tenn., and one brother, Dr. Chas. Seehase of this city, 
survive. The remains will be brought to Manitowoc for burial, Dr. 
Seehase leaving for Chicago last night to bring the body home. Her 
demise will be a sad shock to her scores of friends in Manitowoc.

WILLIAM E. SEIBEL   cemetery #44

W.E. Seibel, Merchant, Is Dead Today
FOUND DYING IN OFFICE OF STORE AT NOON
Worry Over Business Conditions Is Believed To Have Affected Mind; 
Survives Short Time

Worry over conditions in the clothing business in which he had been a 
prominent figure for twenty years or more is believed to have unbalanced 
the mind of William E. Seibel, head of the company which bore his name, 
and to have been responsible for his death shortly before noon today when 
his unconscious form with a bullet in the right temple was found by 
employes in the office of the store on Quay street. Mr. Seibel, who was 
rushed to the hospital, never regained consciousness and died at 1:30.
News of the untimely death of the well-known merchant and former hotel 
owner spread rapidly and proved a decided shock to business associates 
and acquaintances who had known him for the many years he was engaged in 
business here. He was about 63 years of age and had made his home in 
Manitowoc for about twenty-five years, coming here as manager of the Stumpf 
and Langhoff company of Milwaukee and later acquiring ownership of the
branch here at a time it was located in the Urbanek building. He operated 
clothing stores here continuously since that time.
Shot Not Heard
Employes of the store stated that they had heard no shot fired but received 
their first intimation shortly before 11:15 o'clock when they heard the 
sound of moans coming from the private office of Mr. Seibel on the balcony 
of the store. Police were notified and when Officer Aaron Peterson reached 
the scene he found the apparently lifeless body of Mr. Seibel stretched 
upon a sofa in the office with blood still flowing from the wound.
Coroner W.G. Kemper was called and although it was apparent that the wound 
would prove fatal, ordered Mr. Seibel sent to the hosptal.
Used '38 Calibre Revolver
The weapon used by Mr. Seibel was a .38 calibre five-shelled revolver and 
although the weapon was fully loaded only one shot had been fired from it. 
Indications that it had been purchased only recently were given by the 
presence of the price tag on it.
Prior to the discovery of the body, he remarked to one of his clerks as he 
handed him the store key that "if anything happens to me, lock up the store 
at once."
Was Pioneer in Business
Mr. Seibel had been in ill-health for sometime and was frequently under the 
care of physicians. For years his untiring efforts in the clothing business 
here made him widely known throughout his section and his store was one of 
the best known establishments in the county. He was widely known and his 
ability in judging merchandise became a byword among persons affiliated with 
the same type of business.
Coming here about thirty years ago he acted as manager for the Milwaukee 
concern for some time before acquiring an interest in the business and he 
subsequently conducted clothing establishments on North Eighth street and 
later on two corners at Eighth and Franklin streets and about two years 
ago moved into his present stand on Quay street. He was contemplating 
establishment of a second store on the north side when he died.
Operated Hotel
In addition to his activities in the clothing business, Mr. Seibel at one 
time owned the Williams Hotel here, a pioneer and widely-known state hotel 
which was disposed of about two years ago when the Kresge interests purchased 
the property. Since that time he devoted his entire time to his store. When 
not actively interested in the direction of his business affairs he was to be 
found at some lake in Northern Wisconsin and was an ardent devotee of all 
forms of game fishing.
Left Several Notes
Contents of several notes which he left with his papers in a strong box next 
to his desk were not made public, Coroner Kemper refusing to permit them to 
be opened until he secured orders for their release. A note found on the top 
of the boxes directing that his body be taken care of by the Wattawa & Cy 
Urbanek company.
Arrangements Incomplete
Arrangements for the funeral services of Mr. Seibel were not completed at an 
early hour this afternoon owing to the unexpectedness of the death. Arrival 
of relatives was being awaited before decision was made.
In addition to his widow, Mr. Seibel is survived by a daughter, Mill Wilma, 
who is a student at the University of Wisconsin. Two brothers, one state 
patrol agent, Joseph Seibel, and a sister also survive.

PROPERTY HERE IS SOLD UNDER COURT PERMIT
Quay Street Property is Deeded To Mrs. W.E. Seibel From Bankrupt Concern
An order from Referee Harold P. Coffin of the United States District court 
for the southern district of New York to permit the Irving Trust company, 
trustee for the bankrupt Schulte-United, Inc., to transfer property in 
Manitowoc was received and filed today by Register of Deeds Gust Eggert. 
The order was accompanied by a deed from the company transfering the property 
occupied by the Wisconsin Lunch and the building fomerly occupied on Quay 
street by the Seibel Clothing company to Mrs. Emily Seibel of this city.
Mortgage Is Released
The records show that on February 21, 1929, the now bankrupt concern purchased 
Lot 2 of Black 227 from Ann Brennan, the deed being subject to a mortgage of 
$40,625. The court order and accompanying documents received today release the 
mortgage on the property and deed it to Mrs. Seibel whose husband originally 
owned the property, acquired with other frontage by the Schulte company.
According to the court order, the Schulte-United, Inc., was adjudicated bankrupt 
on January 21, 1931 after a petition in involuntary bankruptcy had been filed 
in New York on January 14, 1931.

in 1853 and settled in Town Kossuth where he has lived ever since. He has enjoyed 
good health all his life until about 3 mos. ago when he began to decline, eventually 
dying of the weakness of old age.  Mourning at his graveside will be 5 children, 
3 daughters - Katharina, Anna Scholten and Mrs. Margaretha Seidel - and 2 sons, 
Michael and Frank.  Burial will take place early tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. on the
