HENRY SCHUETTE
From Der Nord Westen, 30 Apr. 1896:
Mr. Heinrich Schuette has died here after a long illness.
He was born 05 Jan. 1835 in Oldenburg and came to America
with his parents in 1848, living with them in Cedarburg.
When the family moved to Manitowoc in 1849, he remained in Cedarburg where he was employed as a clerk in a local store. Later he came to Manitowoc where he learned the tinsmith trade, eventually joining his father's firm, J. Schütte & Son. In 1876, on a trip to Philadelphia, he fell while climbing aboard a streetcar and broke a hip, rendering one leg useless for the rest of his life. Despite his handicap he maintained his interest in the firm and its activities, as well as operating a farm near the city. He enjoyed good health until falling ill with the grippe that took his life. An extremely large number of people attended the funeral that took place Tues. afternoon at the city cemetery.
