Anton Albrecht, one of the oldest residents of Manitowoc County and prominently identified with the early operation of the old Mann Brothers pail and tub factory at Two Rivers, died at Holy Family Hospital, Manitowoc at 3 a.m. Friday. He was in his 96th year and was a patient at the hospital for the past six weeks.
Mr. Albrecht, who had been residing with his daughter, Mrs. Mary Brey at 810 N. Eighth St., Manitowoc, for the last 13 years, had worked in the Brey store, operated by the daughter, up to three years ago.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at St. John Lutheran Chruch, Two Rivers, the Rev. W.G. Haase officiating. Interment will be in Pioneers' Rest

Anton Albrecht was born in Austria, Feb. 1, 1858. At the age of 15 years, he was brought to this country by the family, settling at Kewaunee. When he was a young man he came to Two Rivers and entered the employ of the Mann Brothers company. A short time later he was made a foreman, which position he held until the firm discontinued operations. With the establishment of the Woodenware Company, which took over the Mann Brothers interests, he served also as a foreman. In later years he worked at the Crescent Woolen Mills at Two Rivers, retiring 13 years ago.
Mr. Albrecht married the former Pauline Gesell at Two Rivers in 1880. She preceded him in death nearly 18 years ago.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Brey and Mrs. Raymond Zoerb of Two Rivers, and a son, Albert Albrecht Sr. of Two Rivers. A son, John, preceded him in death in 1918. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Sophie Shimek of Chicago, and a brother, Louis Albrecht of Green Bay. There are nine grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
For many years Mr. Albrecht was active in the affairs of St. John Church at Two Rivers, where he had retained his membership until his death.
