Louis Senglaub Sheboygan Press January 1, 1918
Louis C. Senglaub, 66, a native of Sheboygan County, and former county clerk, city assessor and for years secretary of the county democratic committee of Manitowoc died suddenly at his home in Manitowoc Monday morning. Mr. Senglaub was shoveling snow and the exertion necessitated by the big drifts, it is presumed, caused heart failure. His daughter assisted him into the house but before physicians arrived he had passed away.
The Manitowoc News says:
"The death of Mr. Senglaub marks the second death of men prominent in democratic politics of the county within a week, assemblyman Carl Hansen's death last Wednesday proving a shock to the leaders of the party.
"The late Louis C. Senglaub was for many years prominent in politics and was one of the leading democrats of this county, having held several town offices when he resided in Schleswig. He was later elected county clerk on the democratic ticket, which office he held for three consecutive terms. He was also assessor for the city several years and also secretary of the democratic county committee.
"Mr. Senglaub was born in Sheboygan County on June 2, 1851, and after spending his youth there, moved to the town of Schleswig, in this county, where he erected a store and called the place Louis Corners, which name it still bears. After being elected county clerk 27 years ago he moved to this city to make his home and has lived here ever since.
"Besides his widow, the deceased is survived by two sons, Otto of this city, and Rudolph of Chicago, and three daughters, Agnes, Helen and Viola, all of this city. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon."
