Civil War veteran of 13 WI Infantry, Co D
Manitowoc Herald News, Thursday, May 17, 1923 P.1: "JACOB WOLTER CIVIL WAR VET IS SUMMONED Dies at Home of Daughter, Mrs. Aug. Mahnke Another of the city's few remaining veterans of the Civil war has been summoned in the person of Jacob Wolter, who at the age of nearly 82, passed away at 10 o'clock this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. August Mahnke, 1012 South Fifteenth (sic) street. Mr. Wolter's death is ascribed to the infirmities incident to advanced age. He had been in failing health for the last four or five months. Funeral services will be held at 1:30 Monday afternoon at the Mahnke home and at 2 o'clock at the Evangelical Lutheran church, of which Mr. Wolter was a member. The Rev. Karl Machmiller will officiate at the services and the body will be laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery. Born in Germany. Mr. Wolter was born in Schlewig-Holstein, Germany, August 10, 1841, and when he was thirteen years of age came to this country with his parents, the family locating on a homestead in the township of Newton. It was there that he spent the greater part of his life, returning to the home farm after the close of the Civil War. When the war broke out, Mr. Wolter who was then a young man of about twenty years of age, volunteered, but was refused. He was accepted, however, in December, 1864, and was discharged from the service in November of the following year. He was a member of Company D., Thirteenth Wisconsin Infantry, but as far as is known he did not take part in any of the battles of the war, having been accepted when it was nearing the close. Surviving Relations. Mr. and Mrs. Wolter remained on the farm at Newton until 1913, when they sold it and moved to Manitowoc. His widow, Mrs. Augusta Wolter, and three daughters, Mrs. August Mahnke of Manitowoc, Mrs. Emma Zapfe of Newton and Mrs. Lizzie Barthels of Mishicot, as well as ten grandchildren and five great grandchildren, survive. A son, John, passed away five years ago."
