From Der Nord Westen, 25 Feb. 1904:
Word was received here yesterday, entirely unanticipated, of the death Tues. of Mrs. Therese Schuette, wife of well-known local banker, John Schuette, in St. Mary's Hospital, Milwaukee, following an appendix operation. Mrs. Schuette had gone to Milwaukee ten days ago to see a specialist concerning an eye illness. During her stay in Milwaukee she fell ill with appendicitis and the doctors advised an operation. On Mon. it was reported that the patient was recovering. However, her condition worsened and death occurred the next day. Mrs. Schuette was well known for her charitable activities, so her early death was deeply felt. Mrs. Schuette was born 04 June 1845 in the then Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, daughter of F.X. Stauss, and came to America with her parents in 1853. The family first settled in Baltimore but moved to Manitowoc in 1856 where the deceased has lived ever since. On 22 Feb. 1867, she married John Schuette. In addition to her deeply grieving husband she leaves 2 sons -Louis And Edwin Schuette, and 3 daughters -Misses Gesine And Rose Schuette, and Mrs. R. Walker in Menominee, Michigan. She is also survived by 2 brothers -Max and Robert Stauss, as well as a sister, Mrs. Staehle. The funeral will take place Fri. at 2 p.m. Friends are requested not to send flowers.
