From Der Nord Westen, 18 Jan. 1906
Death yesterday morning following a short illness of Michael Kuhl, one of our oldest German residents and a well-known citizen of our city. Mr. Kuhl was born in the Prussian Rhine Province in 1825 and came to America in 1847. He went to Milwaukee where he stayed 2 years and then moved to Manitowoc where he has resided ever since. For many years he operated a leather business which he turned over to his son several years ago because of advancing age. In earlier years his fellow citizens gave him several positions of trust and he fulfilled them honorably. His wife preceded him in death 12 years ago and he is survived by 11 children. The funeral was held
Saturday morning from St. Boniface Church.
