MATEK: Jacob J.
m: 14 Feb 1885 (co. mar. index. v.5 p.235)
to: Bertha Kurth
From Der Nord Westen, 29 Jan. 1899:
Death yesterday morning of Jacob Matek after a long illness with the dreaded "strangulation" consumption. He was born in Prussian Poland in 1863 and came to Manitowoc with his parents in 1868. As he was growing up he worked in the Schuette Bros. store and was employed there for 15 years. Later he took over the Delmonico Saloon, sold that and shortly thereafter moved to Milwaukee. He fell sick there and returned to spend his final days here. In addition to his parents he is survived by his widow and three children. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning from St. Boniface Church.

LIFE'S JOURNEY O'ER.
Jacob Matek Released From all Earthly Suffering at an Early Hour To-day. HAD BEEN ILL OVER A YEAR.
For Over Three Months He has Suffered Intensely and Death Was a Messenger of Peace. Death released Jacob Matek from earthly suffering at an early hour this morning at his home, 1205 Hamilton street. For more than three months he has suffered intensely, tossing upon his couch, his body wracked with agonies of pain and life swaying in the balance with the odds in favor of the grim destroyer. But the struggle is over, death has been victorious and one more victim has been added to the long list of those who have joined the silent majority.
Jabob (sic) Matek was a young man and his death will cause keen sorrow to many who possessed his acquaintance. For more than fifteen years he was employed as salesman at Schuette Bros.' store and was a faithful and industrious employe. Later he engaged in the grocery business for himself and won many friends by his fair and honorable methods. For a number of years he has not been healthy and about a year ago he was compelled to give up the active pursuits of life and retire. He was afflicted with consumption and during the past three months has been confined to his bed.
Deceased was born in the old country in 1863 and came to America when but five years of age. He located in this city where he has since resided. He was married to Miss Bertha Kurth in 1886 and three children, two sons and one daughter, were born to them. The sympathy of the entire community will be extended to the little family in this, their sad hour of affiliction.
No recent death in the community has called forth such universal sympathy as that of Jacob Matek. Personally he was a genial, whole souled man, social and jovial; quick to make friends and slow to make enemies. He was a faithful, considerate husband, a kind, generous father, and an upright, honorable and useful citizen. Upon his family the heaviest blow must fall, but his hearty frank manner and genial disposition will be mourned by many who have numbered him among their friends. His life work is o'er. Freed from its withered pain wrecked tenement, his spirit has passed from earthly scenes. Let us beleive that in the world beyond he enjoys the results of a life work well done, and pain and earthly sorrow are forgotten amid the joys of eternal life.
The funeral will be held from St. Boniface church Friday morning.
