AUGUST QUANTE
August Quante, Nearly One-Hundred Years Old, is Called by Death.
August Quante, the oldest resident of the town of Schleswig,
and probably of Manitowoc county, died of old age at the home of his son Rudolph in Schleswig on Monday evening. He was born in Hessen, Germany, Oct. 16, 1824, and came to this country in 1854, settling in Wisconsin.
In 1858 he was united in marriage to Marie Zorn and the young couple moved on the farm now owned by their son Rudolph. Mr. Quante lived on the homestead for the last 66 years. He was always in good health, and never needed the services of a doctor until lately. Ten children were born to them, two of whom have passed away.
His wife preceeded him in death five years ago. The children are: Mrs. Carl Ibe of Schleswig; Mrs. Christ. Eichhorn of Kiel Mrs. Haarmann of Sheboygan; Mrs. Fred. Koeppen of Meeme, Mrs. Helena Roehl, on the homestead; Henry of Washington; August of Meeme; Rudolph, at home.
There are also 26 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren
surviving.
The funeral will be held this (Thursday) afternoon, with burial at Louis Corners. Rev. W. Kuether will officiate.
