Der Nord Westen, 04 Nov. 1909: "Shortly after the composition of our paper we learned that Henry Greve died last evening. He was 82 years old on the 29th of February this year. He leaves a widow, a son 63 years of age, and a grandchild. Funeral arrangements are not yet set. Facts about his life will appear in next week‟s paper."
Der Nord Westen, 11 Nov. 1909: "Last week we reported the death of Henry Greve but did not have his biographi-cal details. Mr. Greve was born 29 February 1828 in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. After finishing school he learned the joiner‟s craft from his father in which he engaged in Germany for many years. In 1863 he married Miss Helene Lehmann, his now surviving widow, with whom he came to America that same year. They stayed in New York for two years and in 1855 they went to the fast-growing west and settled in Mani-towoc where they have lived ever since. He was a skilled carpenter here and built many of the houses in our city. In 1862 he served as Lieutenant. in Company „F‟ of the 26th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and was wounded in the unfortunate Battle of Chancellors-ville. Upon recovery he was released from service. In 1866 he opened a fur-niture store and in 1868 established a planing mill. He served in several po-sitions of trust in our city. In the recent past he was unable to leave his residence and recently his situation worsened so that his son Carl was sum-moned from Chicago to be at his side. Carl brought a distinguished physician with him, but after the condition of Mr. Greve improved Wednesday last week his son returned to Chicago. A series of strokes led to his death. He is survived by his widow, one son –the above referred to Carl Greve –4 grand-children and 4 great-grandchildren, as well as 2 sisters who live in Chicago. His large funeral was held Saturday."
