REDERICK S. LUHMAN
DR. LUHMAN, CIVIC LEADER, PHYSICIAN FOR COUNTY, DIES
Dies at 82 Of A Stroke After Long Service; Funeral Friday
Dr. Frederick S. Luhman, 82, (photo) who began the practice of
medicine in Manitowoc in 1880, and who enjoyed the distinction
of being the oldest active official of Manitowoc county in point
of service, died of a stroke Tuesday night at his home, 1013
South Eighth street. He was stricken at his home Monday morning
and died without regaining conscousness.
Despite more than four score years, Dr. Luhman, who for over 35
years was county physician and who during his long practice here
also served eight terms as county coroner, continued the active
practice of medicine. He insisted on "staying in the harness" and
made daily calls on patients in whose families he had been the
attending physician for half a century or more.
The passing of Dr. Luhman last night ended an active community
life that began when he was a boy of 15 years when he took up the
teaching of the district school in the town of Newton. A graduate
of the University of Wisconsin, Rush Medical college and a post
graduate of the best medical schools in Vienna, Austria, Dr. Luhman
located in this city in 1880, became one of the county's leading
practitioners.
Funeral Friday
He served on the board of the school distrct that erected and had
charge of the old First Ward school in the days of the district
school system in Manitowoc.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the home, under
the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which the deceased was a member,
almost since reaching his majority. Rev. Wm. Hood will officiate and
interment will be at Evergreen cemetery. The Elks lodge, of which Dr.
Luhman was a life member, will also be represented at the services.
Frederick S. Luhman was born May 25, 1851, at Franklin, Sheboygan
county, and when a boy in his teens was pressed into service to teach
the district schools in the town of Newton. He had barely passed his
fifteenth birthday at that time. Later he attended Ripon college for
two years, and still later entered the University of Wisconsin, from
which he graduated in 1875. He next enrolled in Rush Medical college
at Chicago, being graduated and given a diploma for the practice of
medicine in 1877.
Went to Europe
After practicing for a year at Two Rivers, Dr. Luhman was married
in this city to Miss Magdalene Simon. They left for Europe where Dr.
Luhman took post graduate work in the medical schools in Vienna,
remaining there for two years. After being graduated there he returned
to Manitowoc where in 1880 he established himself in the practice of
medicine. He continured that practice over a span of 52 years without
interruption.
Dr. Luhman took up his first duties as a county official fifty years
ago this month, in January, 1883. He was elected coroner in the fall
of 1882 and assumed office the next year. He was chosen coroner for
seven successive terms, 14 years. Then he retired but in 1898 he was
again named coroner for another term.
Retiring from this office Dr. Luhman was selected by the county board
of supervisors to serve as county physician, and he continued to fill
this office year after year, being renamed without opposition by the
county board. In still later years he was also chosen the physician
at the county asylum and only gave up this post last year.
Golden Wedding
The deceased served several terms as a member of the school board of
the south side school district under the old district system of schools
here. During the World War Dr. Luhman served as medical examiner for
the draft board. For years he served as examining
(Continued on page 11)
(Continued from page 1)
physician for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company, the
Metropolitan, Prudential and a number of other old line life insurance
companies.
Four years ago Dr. and Mrs. Luhman observed their golden wedding
anniversary with a gathering of their children and hosts of friends at
their South Eighth street home, and were looking forward to the 55th
anniversary which they had hoped to celebrate this coming summer.
Besides his widow, Dr. Luhman is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Elsa
Zeniner, and Mrs. Elmer Bleser, both of this city, and two son, Dr.
Frederich W. Luhman of Bender, Nebraska, and Attorney Hugo F. Luhman
of Yakima, Wash, one sister, Miss Emma Luhman of Los Angeles, Cal.,
three brothers, Otto of Seattle, Wash., Henry of Fostville, Iowa, and
Theodore of Los Angeles, Cal., six grandchildren and two great grand-
children also survive.

What threatened to be a serious accident was narrowly averted at
Eleventh and Washington streets, yesterday, one block from the
already famous Death Crossing, when a city street car crashed into
the buggy of Dr. Luhman from the rear. Dr. Luhman was proceeding
west on Washington street when, in order to avoid material left in
the street by workmen on the Mikado theatre, he turned onto the car
track. The car was right upon the rig and although Joseph Giemer,
the motorman, reversed the motor, it struck the vehicle and tossed
it from the track. The buggy narrowly escaped being overturned, but
fortunately no damage was done.
