WILLIAM BACH
From Der Nord Westen, 04 July 1895:
Another one of our city's first settlers, Mr. William Bach,
closed his eyes on Sun. evening in final sleep. Mr. Bach was
born 16 Feb. 1828 in Gera, Saxony, as the son of a wealthy
silk processor. After attending the local schools he went on
to the University of Leipzig to study law; however, in 1847
he immigrated to America and came directly to Manitowoc. In
1854 he established the W. Bach Exchange and Banking Office.
For many years he filled the offices of County Treasurer and
County Clerk, also serving as Deputy Court Clerk and later
Justice of the Peace of the 1st Ward. Judge Gilson appointed
him Court Commissioner which position he held until his death.
He married his surviving wife in 1856, a marriage that produced
one daughter who currently lives in Milwaukee. The funeral took
place yesterday in the city cemetery, and the large funeral
procession was witness to the esteem in which this pioneer was
held by our city.
