Plymouth Review – February 28,1900 – Vol. 5 No. 18
Andrew Koellmer, who was taken to the Northern hospital at Oshkosh for treatment, about three weeks ago, died at that institution last Wednesday afternoon [Feb. 21, 1900]. When first taken there he was not considered in a very serious condition, but there was a sudden change and from then, up to the time of his death, he grew rapidly worse. His daughter, Mrs. Chas. Goelzer, was telegraphed for, and together with her husband, left the same day and reached his bedside before death came. The remains were brought to Plymouth Thursday evening and taken to his daughter's home, from where the funeral was held at two o'clock Friday afternoon [Feb. 23, 1900], followed by a service at the German Reformed church. Services were conducted by Rev. Stienecke, and the interment was made in the city cemetery.
Mr. Koellmer who was in his fifty-first year, was a wagon maker by trade and well known in Plymouth and vicinity where he had resided for the past twenty-five years. He was born July 20th, 1849, in Saxony, Germany, and came to this country with his parents when three years of age. The family settled in the town of Mosel, this county, and here Mr. Koellmer made his home up to the time of coming to Plymouth in 1875, when he opened a wagon shop, and continued in the business until a few years ago. During his first year in this city, he was married to Miss Thelka Roehr, who got a divorce from him some tile last spring, and since then he had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Goelzer. Besides her there are two other daughters, Mrs. Eli Carpenter of the town of Plymouth and Miss Amanda Koellmer.
