Chas. Heins Is Dead
A Pioneer of Kiel Passed Away after a Brief Illness
A telephone message was received in this city Wednesday evening announcing the death of Charles Heins, one of the prominent and influential citizens of the neighboring village of Kiel.
Mr. Heins was taken ill on Tuesday evening with heart trouble. Wednesday forenoon he seemed to rally from the affliction and his family had hopes that he would recover. Later in the afternoon he had another sinking spell and death followed. Those who have visited Kiel in the past half century have known Chas. Heins.
He was born in Holstein-Schleswig, Germany, seventy-six years ago. When a young man, in the year 1850, he came to this country and located in what is now the village of Kiel. Shortly afterwards he engaged in the mercantile business and continued in that line until death called him. Some thirty years ago his wife died. He was a man endowed with a large degree of generosity and, as is usually the case with the large hearted man, he enjoyed the company of his friends and always gave visitors to that hamlet a warm welcome to his home. To know the man was to appreciate his many good qualities. He was devoted to his children and the happy home that he presided over has now been turned to one of sorrow.
His death will be deeply regretted not only in Manitowoc county, but all through eastern Wisconsin where he was widely known. He leaves four sons and four daughters to mourn the death of a true father and friend. His funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon.
His sister was Maria Puchner

Carl Gottlieb Heins was born at Itzehoe, Germany, and came to the United States when twenty years old.
He had been educated in Germany and later on was employed in a grocery store and learned the process of sugar refining. After arriving in this country, he located at New Holstein, where he bought a small tract of land which he cleared. Seeing a suitable opening in the mercantile line, he bought ground at Sheboygan, put up a small general store, and often walked to his shop in the morning. Later on, he formed a partnership with Rudolph Puchner, but selling his interest, opened the first general store in Kiel. This he conducted until his death, June 27, 1908.
He was a man who inspired absolute confidence, and his associates often took his advice in the settlement of disputes. From the time of its organization, until his death, he acted as president of the State Bank of Kiel. He was the first president of the village and was reelected several times. With the exception of several years, he served as justice of the peace during all of his residence in Kiel, was village clerk and held offices of lesser importance. One of the organizers of the Kiel Woodenware Company, he was its treasurer for many years, and few measures of importance were carried out without his sanction. Fraternally, he was an Odd Fellow. His wife was a native of Germany, and they were married at New Holstein, Wisconsin.
Seven children survive: Helen, the wife of Dr. A. R. Wittman, of Merrill, Wisconsin; Minnie, at home; Carl; Pauline, now Mrs. Jacob B. Laun of Kiel; Rudolph; Clara, now Mrs. Albert W. Dassler of Kiel; and Arthur, of Tigerton, a hardware merchant. One son, William, died when five years old.
