Miss Lizzie G. Baetz, 78, former librarian at the Joseph Mann library at Two Rivers, died shortly after 10:30 a.m. today. In failing health for two years, Miss Baetz suffered a heart stroke Sunday.
Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 oclock from the home, 1623 16th street, Two Rivers, with burial in Pioneers’ Rest cemetery. The body will be brought to the home from the Jansky funeral home at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
Miss Baetz, daughter of one of Two Rivers’ first mayors, and sister of a later mayor and former postmaster, was born in the house in which she died. She was born July 16, 1861, a daughter of the late Andrew and Sophia Depping Baetz.
Miss Baetz was a member of the first class to be graduated from the Two Rivers high school. After graduation she accepted the post of teacher of a rural school near Steiner’s Corners and after several years in this position she became a teacher in the Two Rivers city schools.
Later she became the first woman clerk in the Mann brothers store. She was in the employ of the Manns for many years and then became librarian of the Joseph Mann library in 1900 when Miss Mable Campbell resigned.
For the following 19 years she held the library post, resigning in 1919. After her resignation as librarian in 1919 she assumed the post of bookkeeper for the Elliot Plumbing company, a post she held until her retirement about 10 years ago.
Survivors are two brothers, Conrad and Arthur of Two Rivers; one sister, Mrs. Joseph Streeter, De Pere; and eight nieces and nephews.
