LOUIS FREDRICK SEEGER
Louis Seeger Had Resided in City For 58 Years Continuously
Louis F. Seeger, one of the best known pioneers of the city, a resident of
Manitowoc since 1847, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. V. Miller,
N. Sixth street, this morning, his demise being due to general debility and
the infirmities of advanced age. For some time past Mr. Seeger had been in
failing health, weakened by age, and death was not entirely unexpected.
Decedent was a native of Germany and was born there 83 years ago, his early
life having been spent there. In 1845 Mr. Seeger came to America, locating
at Buffalo, New York, where he resided for two years and then started west,
arriving at Manitowoc and establishing a home here where he has been a
continuous resident for 58 years. Mr. Seeger was engaged in business as a
barber and until fifteen years ago he followed that occupation. Age prompted
his retirement in 1889 and he had lived quietly since that time. Mrs. Seeger
died a few years ago and for three years deceased had made his home with his
children. Though never in public life, Mr. Seeger had always been active for
the advancement of Manitowoc and he was well and favorably known as a
progressive and good citizen. Since the death of his wife, he had failed
rapidly and of late had become very feeble He was a member of the Sons of
Herman lodge and had been interested in that order for years.
Mr. Seeger is survived by a family of five children, Dr. William, Louisville,
Ky., Dr. C. H., this city, Dr. Miller and Miss Minnie Seeger, this city. The
funeral will be held from the Miller home Wednesday at 2 o’clock.

One of the oldest German settlers of our city, Louis Seeger, died Mon.
after having suffered many years from his advanced age. Mr. Seeger was
born 28 Nov. 1822 in Württemberg and came to America in 1845. He first
settled in Buffalo, N.Y. where he married Miss Endres, and they came
to Manitowoc in 1847 where they lived permanently…. Mr. Seeger operated
a barber shop here for many years and was known and well thought of by
young and old. At the end of his 80th year he laid down his scissors and
retired. His wife died a few years ago and he began to decline, although
well taken care of by his daughter, Mrs. Miller, wife of dentist Dr. J.B.
Miller. His death was not entirely unanticipated. So, we have lost another
one of our city’s pioneers with only a few remaining. Mr. Seeger leaves
3 sons and 2 daughters. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon under
the direction of the local Sons of Hermann Lodge, an order to which the
deceased belonged for many years.
