Death of Mrs. Alter is a Shock
Death on the eve of the holiday season has cast its pall on the home of Oscar A Alter, one of the city’s best known residents. Mrs. Alter’s death occurred at the hospital at 8:30 Saturday evening almost at the same hour that death claimed John Schuette, a relative of Mr. Alter. Although ill for some time, Mrs. Alter’s condition had becoming alarming
only during the past week and she had been at the hospital only ten days when the end came. The announcement of her death came as a shock to the community. Mrs. Alter, nee Dora Beer, was a lifelong resident of Manitowoc, having been born in this city September 8, 1860, in a building in the same block where, for 30 years, Mr. and Mrs. Alter have made their home, their residence at 813 York Street being directly opposite to the building in which Mrs. Alter was born. Decedent attended the local schools, graduated here and from the Oshkosh normal and for some years previous to her marriage was a teacher in the third ward and second ward schools. She was married in 1884 to Oscar A Alter, the husband who, with two sons, Erwin of L'anse, Mich., and Eugene of Milwaukee, survive here. One sister, Mrs. John Ornes of Minneapolis also survives. Mrs. Alter, while essentially a home woman, her home and family being her
first thought, had taken an active interest in literary work and particularly in the Clio Club of which she served as president for several years, retiring from active association only when her health failed her. She was charitable and for many years was prominently identified with the work of the South Side Ladies Aid of which she was also president for a number of terms. A woman of gentle refinement, quiet and unassuming, she was endeared to a circle of friends who knew her generous nature and high character and who sincerely mourn her loss with a deep sense of appreciation of her life and character. Her funeral will be held tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, from the home on York
Street at 3 o’clock with the services conducted at the cemetery chapel by the Rev. M.S. Axtell. Mrs. William Borcherdt and Miss Mathilda Schmidt will sing.

EUGENE O.G. ALTER (VON ALTER) cemetery #44
From the Lakeshore Times, July 18, 1882:
At Rest
Died: July 15, 1882, Eugen Alter, aged 50 years, 3 months and six days. Mr. Alter was born in Coblenz, Germany, April 9, 1832. In his veins there flowed the blood of two of Germany's noble families. His father was a scion of the ancient and honorable house of Von Alter, while his mother, nee Von Kutzleben, could trace her lineage back into the misty times of the age of chivalry. Born under such fortuitous circumstances, he enjoyed the best of educational facilities. A few years after the death of his father, which
occurred in 1847, he emigrated, with his mother and sister to America, which to him, was the land where the true form of free government was realized. After a few month's stay in Buffalo, he came, together with the aforementioned, to Manitowoc, in May, 1850. Thus it will be seen that he was one of our oldest settlers. With the exception of a few months, spent as a clerk in Milwaukee, he has lived here ever since. He has been engaged in various enterprises and
business, and during the past seven or eight years has been in charge of the Clothing Department of J. Schuette and Bros. About four months ago, he was seized with an attack of inflammation of the bowels, and ever since his health has failed. He was subject to numerous spells of sickness during that time, yet from each one he rallied. But the last one
was fatal. Exactly four months ago he became seriously sick, and during all those weary weeks, he suffered most excruciating pain. The scientific skill of the physician could give but temporary relief. Gradually the robust form wasted away; the hand of science was not strong enough to keep the dread destroyer distant; the grief of wife and sons was met with no mercy. He died, and perhaps death was merciful in relieving his terrible sufferings, which he bore with manly fortitude, and his unselfish, loving nature was never shown to better advantage than during those dreary days of sickness. No patient ever caused less trouble to those nursing him, than he. It was touching to see how anxious he was that none of his family should suffer inconvenience on account of him. Indeed, it is an inscrutable providence that allows rascality to thrive and
enjoy health, while it dooms such a noble nature to weeks and months of suffering, which only ends in death. A wife and three sons, as well as a large number of relatives, mourn this loss. Upon the sanctity of the grief of the family let no one intrude. No one knows better of the terrible sufferings the deceased underwent, than she, who, day and night, sat at his bedside and ministered to his every want with loving hands, and as there was no other cure than death, her boundless love for the deceased will make her resigned to that fate. Let the sons, who are just on the verge of manhood, ever keep sacred the memory and emulate the virtues of him, who has gone before them "to the land of the hereafter." He reared them with a firm and loving hand,
they were his pride, his comfort, his everything.

The funeral of Mr. Alter occurs this afternoon at three o'clock. He will be buried with Masonic ceremonies, Bro. J.M. Craig delivering the oration. The deceased was an enthusiastic admirer of the craft and his death is a severe
loss to the order in this vicinity.

MRS. ALTER, NEE SCHUETTE, DIES, AT AGE OF 80
Widow of Eugene Alter, Sister of Geo. and Aug. Schuette
Mrs. Martha Alter, widow of Eugene Alter, died at her home at 624 North Tenth street, at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, aged eighty years. The spark of life had flickered low for several days and the announcement of Mrs. Alter's death was not unexpected. The death in recent months of a sister and brother and two other near relatives had weighed upon Mrs.
Alter and undoubtedly affected her condition.With the passing of Mrs. Alter, another of the pioneer residents of the city is called. Born at Delmanhorst, Oldenburg, Germany, February 3, 1840, Mrs. Alter came to Wisconsin with her parents in 1848 and a year later, the family located in this city. Deceased was a sister of the late John
Schuette, whose death occurred in Decmeber, and of Mrs. Bloquelle, who
passed away two years ago.
Married in 1858 to Eugene Alter, who preceded her in death in 1882, Mrs.
Alter was the mother of three sons, Otto, Oscar and Gustav, all of this
city, and surviving her. Two brothers, George and August Schuette also
survive and there are six grancchildren and two great grandchildren.
A woman of retiring disposition, Mrs. Alter devoted her life to her home
and family, happy in her home and children and her death was as calm and
peaceful as had been her long life.
The funeral will be held at the late home on North Tenth street at two
o'clock Monday, the Rev. Keicher officiating.

CAROLINE F.W.H. V. ALTER

OBITUARY.
Died, the 21st of this month, Mrs. Caroline Von Alter, at the age of 75 years
and five months. She was born at the ancestral manor of her father Baron Von
Kutzleben near Langensalza in Thuringia, received an excellent education adequate
to her position in life and was early married to Major Charles August Von Alter
in 1819, who was then commanding the 25th Regiment of Prussian Infantry, for whom
she exchanged the idyllic dales of her home with the classic regions of the Rhine;
during her happy married life she became the mother of nine children, of whom only
two are living to mourn her loss, and of whom one son died on the same date of her
own death in 1842, at the age of 20 years. She lost her beloved husband in December
1847, and resolved to leave Germany with her two children for America in 1849,
arriving in Buffalo in November of the same year, where she remained during the
next winter and reached Manitowoc on the 5th of May 1850, where she has resided
ever since with her children and their families.
She was a most exemplary mother, apparently living only for the happiness of her
family and ever trying to be a constant joy and comfort to them and to all who were
near and dear to her, while her daughter and son and their children again, seemed
to vie with each other to make the declining years of their aged parent as void of
cares and troubles as earthly existence ever would permit.
The funeral on last Sunday was very largely attended, her favorite hymns were played
and sung at the grave and a very able and appropriate oration was delivered by one
of her oldest acquaintances and friends, all trying to show the high esteem and
reverence with which the beloved deceased had inspired every one who ever had had
the pleasure and honor of her acquaintance.
We close with the sincere wish that our last moments may be as happy and peaceful
as those of her who has left us to meet again only in eternity.

(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.
