GERTRUDE BAETZ additional info
Grandma Baetz, mother of ex-state Treasurer Henry Baetz of Milwaukee and
ex-mayor Baetz of this city, met with a severe accident last Tuesday
which will cripple her for the rest of her days, as she is 97 years of
age and it is not probable that she will ever recover therefrom. She was
about to sit down in her easy chair but someway missed the chair and
fell to the floor, breaking one of her hips and also one of her arms.
Broken bones in so old a person seldom knit together again. We are glad
to learn that the kind old lady does not suffer much pain in consequence
of her injuries but she is rendered completely helpless by them.

"Grandma" Baetz, Dies at the Age of 97 Years
Mrs. Gertrude Baetz, called by her many friends and neighbors, "Grandma
Baetz", whose injuries occasioned by a fall were mentioned in the
Chronicle of last week, died from the effects thereof last Thursday
(Oct. 13) and was buried on Sunday from St. John's Lutheran Church. At
first she was benumbed by the accident and did not seem to suffer much
but in a few days she suffered greatly and finally collapsed into an
unconscious state which continued until death came. She celebrated her
97th birthday on the 10th of last month and were it not for her
unfortunate fall, she might have lived a full century and perhaps more,
as she was in good mental and physical health and seemed to enjoy life
and the society of her family and friends as much as ever. She was born
in Stockhausen, Germany on Aug. 10, 1807, her maiden name being Gertrude
Neia. Her husband, Adam Baetz, died while she yet lived in Germany, more
than 60 years ago. In 1856 she came with her sons to this country and
lived with the elder son, Ex-mayor Baetz until her death. She had three
sons and two daughters, all of whom are still living. They are Andrew
Baetz of this city, ex-state treasurer Henry Baetz of Milwaukee, Conrad
Baetz of St. Louis. Mrs. Spahn of this city and Mrs. Karnofsky of
Manitowoc. She had ten grandchildren, five of whom acted as her
pallbearers and five great grandchildren. Mrs. Gertrude Baetz was a
noble woman and was greatly beloved by all. She had strong mental powers
and was an tender and affectionate as she was exemplary in her life. Her
funeral was a very large one.

GERTRUDE BAETZ
Tues. last week, Mrs. Baetz slipped and fell to the floor
as she was trying to sit in her armchair. The 97-yr. old
lady broke a hip and an arm. A broken bone at that age is
a fearful thing, and at best the elderly lady will be
crippled the rest of her days.
********
From Der Nord Westen, Sat. 15 Oct. 1904 (Dateline Saturday)
In our weekly paper we reported that Mrs. Gertrude Baetz had
been the victim of a fall, and we spoke of how dangerous a
broken bone can be for someone of advanced age. Our fears were fulfilled sooner than we anticipated. Mrs. Baetz died Thurs. morning at 8 a.m. With her death the oldest resident of our county is gone.
The deceased was born Gertrude Nies on 10 Aug. 1807 in Stockhausen in the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, and thus arrived at an age in excess of 97 yrs.
When she was grown she married Mr. Baetz, a marriage which
was blessed with 3 sons and 2 daughters. Her husband died
about 60 yrs. ago. Several of her children found a new home
in America, so in 1856 she came here to live with her eldest
son, former Mayor Andr. Baetz in Two Rivers. Mrs. Baetz has
lived in Two Rivers for 48 yrs. and had developed countless
friends. She was known in Two Rivers as Grandma Baetz and was loved and admired by everyone. She also had many friends here in Manitowoc…. In addition to her children, which includes former City Treasurer Henry Baetz, 10 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren mourn her death. The funeral will be held Sun. afternoon from the Lutheran Church in Two Rivers.
