CHRISTIAN SCHWAKE

GRIM REAPER HAS BUSY WEEK
Castor Seibel and Christian Schwake, Old Settlers Are Called
After 76 years of useful life of which fifty were spent in this city,
Christian Schwake died at his home on Adams Street Thursday, May 30. For
the past four years deceased suffered from a nervous affliction which
made him quite helpless and death was a kindly visitor in taking him away.
He was born in Westphalia, Germany and emigrated to America when a boy
of 16. He was twice married, his first wife dying early and leaving him
one son, Henry, who is assistant cashier of the Bank of Two Rivers. In
1875 he was united in marriage to Alvina Frenz who survives him with two
daughters, Mrs. Alvina Barton of Chicago and Mrs. Fred Lemere of this
city. He also leaves a brother of Manitowoc and a sister, Mrs. Christian
Johannes Sr., of the Town of Two Rivers.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from St. John's Lutheran Church
with which he was affiliated from the beginning and to which he was
always faithful.
