DIED
Last Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mr. Chris-toph Salomon, born on 11 Oct. 1786 at Ströbeck near Halberstadt in Prussia, died after a month-long illness.
The deceased, consequently, reached the great age of 85y 4m 17d. He survived only a short time his previously deceased wife, and that short time sadly was a permanent sick-bed, so that it already appeared weeks before that the last spark of life would be extinguished.
What death separated, it has again reconciled. The couple who pilgrimaged more than 52 years long together through life rest now united in death in the cool breast of the earth.
Death is allotted to all of us; Nature claims her privilege, and so the pain for the survivors may also be a comfort that through the death of the previously deceased, perpetual Nature is accom-plished.
From the life story of the deceased we should also yet mention that he joined the Westphalian Army of King Hyronimus in the year 1807, and in 1812 had to take part in the Russian Campaign, from which he emerged uninjured, and then served with the Napoleonic Garrison in Danzig.
By an attack in the year 1813, he was captured and taken for ? Service in the Russian Legion, and then in the 30th Prussian Infantry Regiment, with which he took part in the battles of Ligny and Wa-terloo, became severely wounded, and in order to show recognition for his prudence and daring he received the Iron Cross 2nd Class.
Becoming disabled in service for his homeland, Mr. Salomon received as further recognition of his merit the Russian St. George Medal, and was em-ployed as highway toll-collector from the Prussian government, as which he, on 19 Sept. 1819, was married in Ströbeck with Miss Dorothea Kluss-mann.
The Salomon couple has lived since 12 Nov. 1855 in Manitowoc, highly regarded by the whole population.
The children and relatives live in Manitowoc, St. Louis, Jefferson City, Mo., and New York, and include the families F. Rudolph, Hottelmann, Eberhard, Friedrich and Edward Salomon and the sole deceased son, Hermann Salomon.
This afternoon (Thursday) the funeral took place.
The earth be gentle to you, noble old man!

"In the Evergreen Cemetery at Manitowoc are
buried two German soldiers who fought against Napoleon and whose descendants were to become prominently connected with the state government of Wisconsin -- Christoph Salomon, father of Ed-ward Salomon, Wisconsin Civil War governor; and Frederick William Baensch, grandfather of Judge Emil Baensch of Manitowoc, former lieu-tenant-governor of Wisconsin. Of Christoph Salo-mon, Mr. H. George Schuette of Manitowoc writes:
"Christoph Salomon was born in Saxony, Ger-many, October 11, 1786. He emigrated to Amer-ica in 1856, locating in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where he died in 1872, aged eighty-six years, and lies buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
His four sons, who came here previously, in 1851, were Governor Edward Salomon, governor of Wisconsin 1862-1864; General Fred Salomon, Wisconsin; Colonel Eberhardt Salomon, Missouri; and Sergeant Herman Salomon, Manitowoc -- the last three serving in the Union army during the Civil War. The Salomon family had a military career, the father and three sons being soldiers.
Christoph Salomon was a sergeant major in the Thirtieth Infantry Regiment in the Prussian army. During the French regime in Germany in 1812, when the German nation was subjugated, Salo-mon's regiment was forced to join Napoleon's campaign into Russia, and he often related the terrible condition of the soldiers in this disastrous retreat from Moscow, when the survivors of the great army had dwindled to a few famished divi-sions. Christoph Salomon remained in the army and fought in many battles, for and against Napo-leon, and was wounded in the battle of Waterloo, from his would he suffered till his end. He was later decorated with three medals - one from the Prussian government in 1816, for distinguished bravery at the battle of Ligny and Wavra; an Iron Cross in 1819 for exceptional service rendered during his army career; and a St. Georgian medal from the Russia government - all these medals attesting his military service.
He was a man of sterling character and loyal to his adopted country, and very proud that he pos-sessed four able and stalwart sons to serve the republic, one as Wisconsin's war governor, and the other three as officers in the Union army; and often he regretted that he was too old to serve himself.
In 1869, he and his devoted wife Dorothea cele-brated their golden wedding, a notable event in Manitowoc at the time. This rare celebration was attended by all their children and grand-children, and was a joyful event on the memory of which
they feasted in their declining years.
Christoph Salomon was the grandfather of Mrs. August Schuette, whose maiden name was Hedwig Hottlemann and who is still a citizen of Manitowoc (March 5, 1924)."
In eighteen twelve (1812) during the French regime over Germany, he was completed to serve with the Prussian army in the Napoleon's Russian Campaign, including Napoleon's disastrous retreat from Moscow. He often related the extreme suf-fering, through hunger and cold, endured by the soldiers on that long, terrible retreat, many lying, exhausted and dead along the wayside, to which destruction was aided by the many determined dashing attacks against them by many small Rus-sian and Cossack armies along the whole route of retreat.
Napoleon's army was made up of unwilling Ger-man, Austrians, Poles, Italians. Such an unwilling army was void of patriotism and lack of military discipline. Upon its return, its strength had dwin-dled to a small fraction of its original number.
Christoph Salomon remained an officer in the Prussian army, participating in the many wars leading up to the battle of Waterloo, in which coa-lition Germany, Russia and England fought and vanquished Napoleon's regime.
The subject of this sketch was wounded in bat-tle, and later for his services in the army received three medals for bravery in battle: one issued by the Prussian Government in 1816, one Iron Cross, issued by the Prussian government in April 1819, and one St. Georgian Medal by the Russian Gov-ernment in December 1821.
Mr. Salomon and wife Dorothea, were well educated and fully appreciated the blessing of our republican form of government, and for which their four sons, able and stalwart, served, one as Governor, and three in the Union Army of our Civil War..
