HUGO KLINGHOLZ

From Der Nord Westen, 25 June 1891:
Death of Hugo J. Klingholz on Sun. morning as a result of injuries received
in an accident the previous Mon. He is the son of our outstanding fellow
citizen Carl Klingholz, and was born on 13 Nov. 1852 in Manitowoc Rapids.
In 1874, at the age of 22, he undertook a partnership with his brother Oscar
in operating his father's mill in Manitowoc Rapids. Oscar preceded him in
death several years ago. On 22 Feb. 1878 Hugo married Sophie Lueps, a
daughter of the late Jacob Lueps, with whom he had 4 children – 1 son and
3 daughters. Mrs. Klingholz passed away a few weeks ago as we reported at
the time. (The article goes on to describe the impact of his death on the
community and of the difficult time his parents were having on the loss of
their oldest child, having 6 sons and 4 daughters already preceding him in
death.) Manitowoc had never seen a more magnificent funeral procession. Mr.
Bloquelle led the ceremony in the name of the Sons of Hermann Lodge and Mr.
Nash delivered the graveside oration.
