AUG. KUECKER LOSES BATTLE, DEATH VICTOR
Well Known Resident Passes Away Today at Hospital
August J. Kuecker, in former years a volunteer fireman of the city who for fiteen years joined other volunteers in responding to calls before the paid fire department was inaugurated, died at the Holy Family hospital shortly afer
8 o'clock this morning, death being due to shock of an operation in which his foot was amputated a few days ago. Mr. Kuecker suffered from diabetis and when gangrine set in making an operation necessary, his weakened condition made it impossible for him to withstand the ordeal.
Mr. Kuecker who was 66 years of age had been under care of physicians for some time but the disease had advanced to a stage where the fight against it was a losing one. Deceased was for thirty years employed as a stationary fireman at the Rahr company and had been active until the first of the year when he was forced by illness to give up his work and he had been a patient at the hospital for some time.
Coming to this country from Germany when an infant, Mr. Kuecker's parents settled in Kewaunee county where Mr. Kuecker was married on December 19, 1884 and thirty-
five years ago the family removed to this city.
His widow, Mrs. Caroline Kuecker, three sons, Leonard, Samuel and Carl and one daughter Mrs. William Ziemer, all of Manitowoc, two brothers Frank and Henry of Webster, South Dakota; three sisters Mesdames George and August Dueno of this city and Mrs. Charles Karnopp of Portland, Oregon, together with six grandchildren survive.
Funeral services will be held at 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon from the home, 429 North Tenth street and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery. Funeral services will
be in charge of Rev. A.R.E. Schrieber of the German M.E. church of which Mr. Kuecker was a member.
