Manitowoc Co. Chronicle, June 25, 1872
Col. Caspar Fleischer is no more. Although since February last he had been confined to his room, most of the time on a bed of sickness, and we some of us were afraid that it would prove his last, when on Tuesday evening the 18th of June, we heard he had ceased to live, the whole community was cast into gloom.
For twenty-one years, nearly a quarter of a century, he had been one of the landmarks of this little hamlet. Of a fine noble presence, with a hand as "open to charity as the day," a spirit of enterprise that has left behind him many monuments in the adornment and substantial improvement of the place, a genial sociability that made friends of all, no one could have been called who would be more sadly missed or sincerely mourned. Even his faults - who has them not? - were such as sometimes grow out of true nobility of character and a purely unselfish nature. His virtues were many, and will be gratefully treasured in the remembrance of his friends here and in the Fatherland.
