• Notes

  Herman Pruss (1842 - 1891) Obit CAPTAIN HERMAN PRUSS From Der Nord Westen, 03 Dec. 1891: After a 3 mo. long severe illness, Hermann Pruss died Mon. night. The deceased, who had been perfectly healthy heretofore, fell suddenly ill on 26 Aug. with a liver illness. The doctors were unable to stem the course of the disease. His loss was felt throughout the entire city and county. Hermann Pruss was born 27 May 1842 in Neustadt in Schleswig-Holstein. His father was a boatman and so as soon as he finished school he went directly to sea. He rose from ships boy to ordinary seaman to helmsman, traveling to Europe, America, Asia and Africa, finally coming to America in 1854 to New York. Later he settled in New Orleans from where he served on the West Indian route. During the Civil War he was drafted into the Confederate military. After the war he came to Manitowoc on 14 June 1868 and served from here as captain of various sailing ships on the Great Lakes. In later years he gave up the sailor’s life and operated the “ Delmonico” Tavern until his recent hospitalization. Captain Pruss married on 21 June 1868. He is survived by his widow and 3 daughters. His funeral will take place today at 2 p.m. in the city cemetery.
