Mrs. Mary Dicke, Mother of the City Attorney Answers Final Summons
LIVED IN COUNTY 77 YEARS
The long and useful life of Mrs. Mary Dicke came to a close Monday afternoon when she passed away at the home of her son, City Attorney F.W. Dicke, at the age of 93 years. (photo)
For 77 years she had been a resident of this county and was the last of a family of eight, all of whom came to American with their parents. Deceased made her home with her son, Fred, for the past thirty years, ever since the death of her husband, Diedrich Dicke, who passed away on the farm where he and Mrs. Dicke took up a government claim about two miles north of this city in 1851. They had been married the year before. For a few months they lived in a shanty and then in a two room log house until, after years of patient industry and progress, they erected a comfortable modern dwelling.
In the Great Forest Fire
The great forest fire of 1864 was a trying time. It swept past them and around them and but for their efforts, at the risk of their lives, it would have destroyed their home. Against the advice of neighbors who fled before the flames, they remained to save their buildings if possible. Having buried their belongings they fought the flames for three days against the fire, Mrs. Dicke throwing water on the house and her husband confining his efforts to the barn while the flames raged on every side and it was often uncomfortably hot. But they saved their buildings in that great conflagration which destroyed nearly every farm house and barn along the Rangeline and Sandy Bay roads.
Mrs. Dicke, as long as she could do so, read much and not long ago, her son, Fred, presented her with the works of Schiller. She was a woman of refinement and a devout Christian, being a member of the original St. John's Lutheran Congregation here.
Came to America in 1847
Mrs. Dicke, whose maiden name was Mary Hemschemeier, was born in Germany and arrived in this country in 1847 with her parents, at the age of 16. The party consisted of the father, mother and eight children. The family settled on a piece of land in township 18, six miles west of Manitowoc. Deceased is survived by two sons, George, who is engaged in the loan and real estate business and Attorney F.W. Dicke, who has been city attorney here for several terms and one daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilke, also of this city. She also leaves ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from St. John's Lutheran Church, Rev. Carl Machmiller of Manitowoc officiating in the absence of Rev. W.G. Haase. The Reporter, Fri., Apr. 25, 1924
Their marriage produced 2 sons and 2 daughters. One of their daughters died in 1869, and her husband died in 1895, leaving the other 3 children to survive her.
