THE PASSING OF AN OLD PIONEER
Another of the few remaining pioneers of Two Rivers, passed away when Mrs. Frederica Thiede, aged 87 years, answered the final summons at her home on Twelfth Street. Sixty-eight years ago, Mrs. Thiede came to this country with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Schwantes. They purchased a farm a short distance west of this city and Mrs. Thiede, then Miss Schwantes, after a few years was married to Henry Mandel. The cruel hand of war parted many loving hearts forever and Mr. Mandel, who enlisted in the Northern Army never returned. Having been badly wounded he died in the hands of the enemy. His death left her a widow with two small children and she again made her home with her parents until she became the wife of Henry Thiede, also a soldier of the Civil War, in 1867.
They soon took to farming. For eight years they resided on a farm north of this city until they sold out and took up their residence in the city where she has since resided. In 1905?, Mr. Thiede was called by death. Since then she and her son, Ernst have continued to reside in the old home. (photo)
Deceased was born in Regenwalde, Germany, February 24th, 1838. In 1860 she became the bride of Henry Mandel and two sons were born to them. Several years later her husband was killed in the Civil War and in 1867 she married Henry Thiede, also a civil war veteran who passed away about 15 years ago.
Mrs. Thiede leaves six children, five sons and one daughter. They are August and Ernst Thiede of this city and William Thiede of Jefferson, Wis.; Fred and Henry Mandel of this city, Mrs. Sophia Haltaufderheide of this city; Mrs. Silas Koeser, another daughter, passed away two years ago. She is also survived by 36 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. Two brothers, Ernst Schwantes of Oshkosh and William Schwantes of Two Rivers also survive her. Mrs. Thiede was a pioneer member of the Evangelical Church from which the funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, Rev. E.J. Siewert officiating. Interment was at Pioneer's Rest.
