Obituary for Rosa (Therese) Schuette
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.

Notes:

This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.492-493.

Louis Schuette, vice president of the Manitowoc Savings Bank and well known in financial circles of Manitowoc county, is a member of one of the old and honored families of this section. His grandparents, John and Katherine
(Schade) Schuette, natives of Oldenburg, Germany, came to the United States in 1848 and settled in Manitowoc, where John Schuette carried on a grocery business until his death. He and his wife had seven children: Gesine, the
widow of Gus Bloquelle, a resident of Manitowoc; Henry, deceased, who was engaged in the grocery business; John, the father of Louis; Martha, the widow of Eugene Alter; and Fred, August and George, merchants of Manitowoc.
John Schuette, father of Louis, was born September 25, 1837, in Oldenburg, Germany, and after the death of his father formed a partnership with his brother, Henry, and engaged in the grocery business. He sold his interests,
however, in 1884, and organized the Manitowoc Savings Bank. The building at the corner of Eighth and Jay streets, which had formerly been used for the
same purpose, was purchased and the bank established under the state laws, the capital being fifty thousand dollars, and the first officers being as follows: John Schuette, president; C. E. Esterbrook, vice president; Joseph
Staehle, cashier. At the present time the officials are: John Schuette, president; Louis Schuette, vice president; Ed Schuette, cashier; Henry Detzen, assistant cashier. John Schuette was also the owner of the second flour mill in Manitowoc, which he still operates; had the government
contract in 1867 and 1868 for the building of the harbor at this point; is a stockholder in the Eastern Wisconsin Trustee Company; and president of the Manitowoc Electric Light Company. He has served as alderman and mayor of Manitowoc, and in 1875 and 1876 was sent by his fellow townsmen to the state senate. He married Rosa Stauss, and they had five children: Louis and Edwin, associated with their father in business; Gesine, residing at home with her parents; Lillie, who married Dr. Walker, of Menominee, Michigan; and Rosa, who married Dr. Babcock, of Milwaukee. The reputation of the Manitowoc Savings Bank is of the best, and all of its officials are men of known integrity.

John married Catherina Maria "Catherine" Schade on 6 Jul 1830 in , , , Germany. Catherina was born on 23 May 1811 in Oldenburg, Stadt Oldenburg, Niedersachsen, Germany; died on 5 Jan 1899 in Manitowoc, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, USA; was buried in Manitowoc, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, USA.
