EMIL SCHMEICHEL
Emil Schmeichel, 86, of Two Rivers, died early today at the Municipal hospital
there. He has been in failing health for years and was moved to the hospital
from the home of his son, Walter, of 1309 21st street, with whom he had resided.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the St. Johns Lutheran church.
Interment will be in Pioneers Rest cemetery. The body may be viwed at the Beduhn

Mr. Schmeichel was born in Germany in 1859 and came to this country with his
parents in 1885.
Coming to Two Rivers, he first took employment at the old chair factory and then
was one of the first employes of Joseph Koenig in the aluminum industry there.
About three years after the completion of the Hamilton school, then the high
school, Mr. Schmeichel became the janitor. He held that post until 1920 when he
took over the janitor duties for St. John's Lutheran congregation.
Four years later, in 1924, after the city had taken over "The Pines" and created
a tourist park, he became the caretaker there, continuing in that capacity until
his retirement in 1936.
He married Emma Wieghart of Two Rivers in 1887. Mrs. Schmeichel died about 20
years ago.
Surviving are four sons, Ewald, Walter, Carl and Henry, all of this city; two
daughters, Mrs. Adam Hendrick of Manitowoc and Mrs. Oscar Gauthier of this city;
14 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
