DEATH TAKES "UNCLE VOGT", AGED 79 YEARS Pioneer Furniture Man and Undertaker Goes to Final Rest WAS ONE OF BEST KNOWN MEN OF CITY Anton Vogt, familiarly known to the city as "Uncle Vogt," a title by which he loved to be addressed, has finished with life and at the age of 79 today laid aside the burdens of a long, useful career to find solace in the sleep that knows to waking. Mr. Vogt's death occurred at the home of City Treasurer Bruno Mueller on N. Ninth street where
he had been cared for by his daughter Mrs. Mueller during the past six weeks of his last illness and the end was peaceful. For several days Mr. Vogt had been in an uncon-scious state and he failed to rally before death, earthly slumbers being merged into the deeper sleep of death,
almost without notice by anxious watchers at the bedside. Mr. Vogt was born at Dornholzhausen, Prussia, November 24, 1832 and came to America as a youth of 23 in 1855, settling at Two Rivers where he was married in 1855. Mr. Vogt was employed at the Two Rivers shipyards which in that early day was engaged in building of boats for the lakes. Mr. Vogt
remained at Two Rivers twelve years when he came to Manitowoc and established himself in business as a furniture dealer and undertaker, the store being in Leups block near the bridge of So. Eighth street and for thirty five years, Uncle Vogt was one of the best known businessmen of the city. Established in 1867, the Vogt store passed from control of Mr. Vogt in 1902 his retirement coming as result of advancing age which made it impossible for him to give attention to the business which it demanded. Since 1902 Mr. Vogt had lived in retirement but daily made his visit downtown where he was always assured of a warm greeting being widely known and of genial disposition that won him friends. Twice married, his first wife passed away in 1875, Mr. Vogt is survived by his widow and three children, one daughter, Mrs. B. Mueller and two sons, Henry of this city and Edward who is in the West. Mr. Vogt was a member of the Masonic Order, the Odd Fellows and of the Sons of Herman
and was constant in his allegiance to the Orders attending meetings of the Odd Fellows up to within a few weeks of his last illness. Despite his advanced age Mr. Vogt enjoyed fair health up to a very recent time and was about the city as late as eight weeks ago. He made frequent visits at Elgin where he has a nephew who was a favorite with him and
enjoyed life. His death will cause a pang of sorrow to many who knew him and remember him as a kindly old gentleman. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 from the home of City Treasurer Bruno Mueller on North Ninth street with interment at Evergreen cemetery."
