Jacob A. Geimer, Sr., 85, early Two Rivers hotel operator and
operator of stage lines to Kewaunee, Algoma and Green Bay for
many years, died at his home, 1511 Jefferson street, Two Rivers,
at 7:45 a.m. today.
Mr. Geimer had been in failing health for the past five weeks,
but up to that time he had never sought the services of a doctor
in his life.
In 1893 Mr. Geimer and his family moved to Two Rivers from Coopers-
town where they had operated a cheese factory for a number of years.
They took over the Washington House and operated it for three years.
Next he took over the stage lines and operated them until 1906 when
he took over the old Lake House.
After several years in the Lake House he bought the old Lake View
House at Jefferson, East River and 15th streets, the place in which
he died today. For the past 25 years Mr. Geimer had lived in
retirement.
Funeral services will be held Thursday morning, at 8:30 from the
Klein & Stangel, Inc., funeral home and at 9 o'clock from St. Luke's
Catholic church, the Very Rev. Dean C.V. Hugo officiating. Interment
will be made in Calvary cemetery.
Mr. Geimer was born in Milwaukee on Dec. 31, 1855, and lived there
until he moved to Cooperstown to operate a cheese factory.
He married Miss Margaret Spang on Oct. 15, 1878 and she died in 1905.
He later married Mrs. Michael Bartelme, who died in 1927.
For many years Mr. Geimer represented the old Second ward in Two Rivers
on the county board. He was a charter member of the Moose lodge.
Survivors are six daughters, Mrs. David LaFond, Mrs. Anna Paska and Mrs.
Fred Beth of this city; Miss Mathilda Geimer of Milwaukee; Sister M.
Imelda of Defiance, O., and Mrs. Louis Bunker of Chicago; three sons,
A.P. Geimer of this city, Roland of Los Angeles, Calif., and Cornelius
