ALBERT B. SCHUETTE (d. 1919)
ALBERT SCHUETTE DIES AFTER ONE WEEK'S ILLNESS
Well Known Business Man, Head of Schuette Bros. Co. Passed Away This
Morning Death Great Shock To City
"Tis the wink of an eye, tis the draught of a breath, from the blossom
of health to the paleness of death."
The truth of the words of the lamented poet was brought home to Manitowoc
again today with announcement this morning of the death of Albert B.
Schuette, president of the Schuette Bros. Company and one of the most
prominent young men of the city. Mr. Schuette passed away at the home on
North Thirteenth street at 6;30 o'clock this morning after an illness of
a week from pneumonia. News of the death of Mr. Schuette was a great shock
in the community where for years he had been recognized as one of the
progressive business men of the county. Taken ill a week ago, Mr. Schuette
suffered from a severe cold which developed pneumonia and on Saturday his
condition became so serious that specialists were called from Milwaukee but
were unable to save his life. Sunday there was a slight improvement in Mr.
Schuette's condition but the hope of the family was raised only to be
crushed by the death of Mr. Schuette this morning. Few people were aware of
Mr. Schuette's serious illness and the announcement came as a surprise that
added to the shock and sorrow of a large circle of friends. Identified with
the Schuette Brothers company for years and as president of the concern, in
which office he succeeded his late father, Mr. Schuette was one of the best
known men of the county. He was active in many lines of civic endeavors,
having been named as one of the original members when the board was organized
(illegible) new system several years given by (illegible)During the war Mr.
Schuette had taken an active part in the activities of the nation, in the
Red Cross and in the Liberty loan campaigns and had given of his time and
effort to the work which the government had carried on in this community. Mr.
Schuette was a native of this city, having been born here on March 14, 1874
being 45 at the time of his death. He attended the local schools graduating
from the First Ward high School and later attended the University of Wisconsin
where he graduated in 1895 in civic history and with a degree of Bachelor of
Letters. Returning here he became associated with the Schuette Brothers Co.
and during the subsequent years became active head of the interests which the
company operated. Mr. Schuette is survived by his wife nee Anna Hentscher and
one son, Donald, who is attending the university at Madison. His mother, Mrs.
Fred Schuette and four sisters, Mrs. H.L. Banzhaf, of Milwaukee, Mrs. C.J.
Reinfried, Mrs. Stanley Eckels and Miss Forence? Schuette also survive. Mr.
Schuette was a member of the Masonic order and of the local lodge of Elks and
was an officer of the local branch of the Loyalty Legion. The funeral which
will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 from the late home 321 North Thirteenth
street, will be in charge of the Masonic order. Mr. Schuette's death takes
from the community one of its most progressive and respected citizens. A young
man of exceptional character and high ability he had achieved a success destined
to grow with the years and his taking away in a life of business activity when
apparently his energy was unimpaired is a sad blow to the community. He was
possessed of a frank and a kindly disposition that made him popular in business
circles and with employees of his company. Mr. Schuette was a hard worker,
giving attention to every detail of the business of which he was head and which
under his guidance was growing with rapid strides. Mr. Schuette was a lover of
home and though burdened with a large business, he found time to enjoy his home
and family and found his chief happiness in his home. The death of Mr. Schuette
is the second within two years in the family, his father the late Fred Schuette,
having passed away after a short illness less than a year ago. In two years four
of the city's most prominent business men have been called, including the late
Thomas Torrison, Fred Schuette, Ex-Mayor William Rahr and now Albert Schuette.
The Schuette Bros. Co. store is closed and will remain closed until after the
funeral Wednesday.
