DIES AT HOME OF SON HERE
Mrs. Mary Paulus Passes Away This Morning; Was 89
Mrs. Carl Paulus, 89, nee Mary Moldenhauer, died at 8:30 this morning at the
home of her son, Herman Paulus, 628 North 7th street.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Wattawa,
Urbanek and Schlei funeral home, the Rev. C. H. Phipps officiating. Burial will
be made in the Evergreen cemetery.
Mrs. Paulus was born in Germany on November 20, 1847. She came to America with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Moldenhauer, in 1856, when she was 8 years old.
Her father purchased 80 acres of land in what is now section 11, town of Liberty.
The land was wooded and there was clearing enough for only a two room log house
and a log barn. The family lived in the house Mr. Moldenhauer built until 1873,
when a more modern frame house was built to replace it. In 1869 Miss Moldenhauer
was married to Carl Paulus and with him moved to Manitowoc to operate a general
store.
Five children were born to the couple: Mrs. William Esch, deceased; Mrs. Herman
Grabo, California; Walter, deceased; Mrs. Clara Bittel, St. Louis; and Herman
Paulus, Manitowoc. Sixteen grandchildren and seven great grandchildren also survive.
The body will lie at the funeral home from Wednesday afternoon until the time of
the services Thursday.
