Mrs. Katherine Schmitz dies
From Shock From Burns
at Kenosha Hospital.
ACTIVE IN ST. GEORGE CHURCH

Mrs. Katherine Schmitz, aged eighty
years, widow of the late John Schmitz
and one of the best known of the pio-
neer woven of Kenosha, died at the
Kenosha hospital just after eight
o 'cloik Monday evening after long i'll
ness from complication of diseases.
Mrs. Schmitz had been in the hospital
for little over a week. On the Sat
urday after Christmas she met with
severe injury when the bursting of
hot water bottle resulted in Der being
badly scalded and the shock from this
injury undoubtedly FASTENED the end
of her life.
Few women were better known among
the people of the north side of the city
as Mrs. Schmitz had been an active
worker in ST. George church for many
years. She was one of the first mem
bers of the church and her marriage to
Mr.. Schmitz more than half century
ago, was one of the first weddings in
the parish. Mrs. Schmitz was born in
Trier, Germany, i'll 1884. She came to
Kenosha when she was sixteen years of
age and had since resided in the city.
During her long residence she was very
active in the social and religious work
of the north side Of the city. She was
interested in many of the church So
cieties and for many years had been
active as a leader. She is survived by
two daughters, Mrs. Adolph j. Burg and
Mrs. Charles F. Boerner and two sons,
NJ p. Schmitz and William G. Schmitz,
all of Kenosha. She is also survived
by twenty eight grand children and
twenty great grand children.
A woman Of many beautiful traits Of
character her death has brought pro-
found sorrow in many homes where she
was known and loved.
The remains were taken to the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Boerner,
on Milwaukee avenue, this morning and
the funeral services will be held from
st George church at nine clock Thurs
day morning with interment at the
family plot at st. George cemetery.

democratic victory in the state which

ably, too, one of the reasons why Con-
gresham Cooper is hesitating about be-
coming a senatorial candidate is the
fact that there is a considerable poll

Former State Senator Henry Lock

Besides Henry Lockney, Martin

E. R. Gottfredsen Long a
Matchmaker in Kenosha
Retires on Monday.
FORTY SEVEN YEARS AT BENCH

One of the old business houses on
Main street underwent changes on
Monday afternoon when E. r. Gottfred-
sen, active in the jewelry business in
Kenosha for forty-seyen years, packed
up his kit Of tools and quit Mr. Gott-
fredsen had worked as jeweler and
matchmaker on Main street for forty
seven years, probably longer than any
man in business in the city today. The
announcement of his retirement from
the firm of Gottfredsen and Nicoll is
coupled with the statement that his in
terest in the business had been taken
over by Robert Nicoll, who had been
the junior member of the firm.
The retirement of Mr.. Gottfredsen is
of unusual interest. He is son of the
late R. 0. Gottfredsen who founded
the Main street business more than half
a century ago and the son began his
work in the establishment when he had
reached his fourteenth birthday Early
In life he learned the business of the
WdLCuIudhcf anu ne mas Deon one Oh
the most expert men in this line of
work in this section of the state. Mr..
Gottfredsen is by no means superanuat-
ed and his giving up of his life work
was largely due to the fact that he
has suffered from eye trouble. which
made the work of watch making and
repairing decidedly exacting.
Under the new ownership there will
be no change in the firm name and the
business viii be carried on under the
name Of Gottfredsen & Nicoll
:" Just going to have holiday was
the statement of the retired member OF
the firm this morning. 81 have no
plans for the future and am going to
take long rest, said Mr.. Gottfred-
SEN It is probable that he will give
his attention to other business interests.
No announcement has been made Of his
successor In the Main street business
house, but the new man will be an ex-
pert in the business.

The council put the final qLietus on

corner Of Market street and Rowland

was directed to close up the stairway
at once. The city attorney was direct

There was the usual amount of rou-

William Kreuger. The license held by
Kreuger was formally surrendered to
the ouncil. Van Gasbeck by Kreuger
was permitted to pay for the license
was permitted to pay for the license
period, but the council refused to con-
slider the suggestion that the unused
portion Of the license held by Kreuger
be related to the brewing company
which had paid for it.
1t was decided to take up the pro-
posed building code within the next
two weeks and Mayor Head was in
structed by the common council to call
a special session of the counil for this
purpose.

OLD EMPLOYEES SHOW ESTEEM
Tears Fall as Retiring Leader in Great
Business Is Presented With Token of
Esteem From Men With Whom He
Had Been Employed For Many Years.

When the whistle blew over at the
Allen tannery for the last time in the
old year on Wednesday evening, Mat
Werve, genial superintendent of the
big plant for many years, gave up q
life S work He put on his coat and when
he did he gave up his work and with
it all the ties that bound him to q bust
ness which he had worked more than
fifty-seven years to help build up. Mr..
Werve announced some time ago that
he had decided to give up active bust
ness work with the opening of the new
year, but when the time came to lay
down his power and shut down the old
familiar desk for the last time it
brought sorrow to the men at the tan
merry. Late in the afternoon Mr.. Werve
was busy as ever with the work of the
big plant and the fact that he was
about to give up job he had held for
fifty-seven years did not matter bit
with the manner in which he looked
after details, He was busy giving or
ders to the hundreds of men under him
when the older employees of the com
pany began to gather in the Office.
Gathered about his desk were more than
score of men and some of them had
worked under him fer more than thirty
five years. President Edward c. Theirs
Of the big company, was the spokesman
for the little party, and he notified Mr..
Werve that before he "got his time
the men had a few things to say to
him. In the happiest sort of man
ner Mr. Theirs reviewed the long serv-
ives of Mr.. Werve with the Allen com
pany and in conclusion presented him
with handsome gold watch, the gift
Of the employees Of the company. On
the back of the handsome gold case
was engraved, From old employees
with whom you have been associated in
your LIES work. 1857-1914"
Mr.. Werve had anticipated that it
would be an easy matter for him to
give up his job of ffty-seven years, but
when Mr. Theirs spoke of the high es-
TEEN In which he had been held by the
men who had aided so much in build
ing up the big plant there was tear
on the face of the retiring superinten-
dent and it was some time before he
could respond and give thanks to the
men, not so much for the gift, as the
kindly spirit of fellowship which had
prompted it. The whole ceremony last
ed only a few minutes but those few
minutes were filled with good feeling
seldom seen in a great manufacturing
plant.
In giving up the superintendency of
the tannery, Mr.. Werve also resigned
his position as a director in the com
pany and he has left the world Of
leather making for good. 81 am just
going to take a rest, he said after
it was all over. "I don t know what
