MARIA ARNEMANN/ARNEMAN
"Grandma" Arneman (sic), pioneer resident of the town of Two Rivers, died yesterday at her home near the Rangeline road.
Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, April 16, 1920 P.8
OLD TIMERS
Excepting for two years when she lived in this city with her husband after his retirement, Mrs. Maria Arnemann has resided on the same farm for over 57 years. She now resides there with her son, Herman who purchased the farm from his father twelve years ago.
Her husband passed away ten years ago. They both came from the same locality in Prussia. They came over on the same ship and were married here. They immediately took up their abode on a piece of timber land comprising 40 acres. A log hut was their first home and they shared the usual hardships of those early days, clearing the land, harvesting small crops, having an ox team and a cow or two. They constantly added to the farm and when Mr. Arnemann retired it consisted of 162 acres.
The Arnemanns were among the charter members of the Lutheran congregation of Two Rivers. This congregation was established in 1860 and the pastor when she and her husband started attending services was Rev. C.F. Goldammer. On the Arnemann farm may still be seen a "deer scaffold". These scaffolds were erected in the woods. Salt having been scattered about profusely, the hunter would lie concealed on the scaffold and shoot deer for food when the animals were attracted by the salt.
Eight children were born to the Arnemanns and with the exception of one, all are living. Mrs. Arnemann will attain the age of eighty years on April 3rd next. In former days she frequently made the journey from home four and one half miles north to town on foot. She is feeling good enough, she says, to repeat the journey today.

PASSING OF A PIONEER
MRS. MARIA ARNEMANN WAS CALLED TO REST AGED 86
ON SAME FARM 64 YEARS
Hardships and Frugality of Early Days Crowned With Peace and Plenty in Old Age
Having reached the age of eighty-six years, sixty-four of which were spent on the same farm, Mrs. Maria Arnemann passed away, Wed., April 14, at the home of her son, Herman, who now conducts the farm in which she and her husband settled in 1856. (photo)
The early days were days of hardship which she shared with her husband. They cleared the farm of the wild timer and stumps and their industry and frugality was crowned with the success of having one of the finest and most prosperous farms in this vicinity, consisting of 162 acres.
Deceased was a devoted Christian lady, being one of the charter members of St. John's Lutheran Church which she attended regularly up to a few years ago when infirmities of age kept her at home. When the church was started here in 1860, Mr. and Mrs. Arnemann were immediately among its most active members. The years passed swiftly for them as it always does for busy people. It seemed only a short time before the ox teams gave place to horses and the tedious work of mowing with the scythe and threshing by hand with flails was made easy with harvesting machinery and when old age came on, she and her husband enjoyed for a few years, the fruits of their labor in retirement until sixteen years ago, he was called by death.
Deceased was a native of Prussia. She and Mr. Arnemann made the voyage to America on the same ship and shortly after landing here they were married and settled down in a log hut they constructed on their land. Mrs. Arnemann is survived by seven children, all of whom were at her bedside when she passed away. They are August of the Town of Mishicot, Herman of the Town of Two Rivers, Henry of Chicago, Mrs. Tina Fischer of Appleton and Mrs. Mary Berg, Mrs. August Winniger and Mrs. Emma Schmidt of Chicago. One daughter, Mrs. Minnie Stolberg died some years ago. Deceased is also survived by 22 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren. The funeral was Saturday afternoon from St. John's Lutheran Church.
