CHRISTOPH WILHARMS
From Der Nord Westen, 28 Feb. 1901:
Death Sun. of local resident Christof Wilharms at age 91-1/2. He was born in Hesse
and came to America in 1844 and after spending a few years in the East, took over
a farm in Town Newton. He worked that farm until 1883 when he moved to Manitowoc
to spend the evening of his life quietly. Mrs. Wilharms, the 89-yr. old wife of
the deceased, had also been ill for a long while and when she learned of her
husband's death, it was the final blow. She also closed her eyes in death on Tues.
This afternoon the bodies of the pair who had shared their lives together for
almost 70 years will be taken to their last rest together. 5 children mourn the
death of their beloved parents.
