LOUIS HEYROTH "GRANDPA"
From Der Nord Westen, 30 Jan. 1908:
Death has taken another of our early settlers. Louis Heyroth died here Wednesday
morning. He was born 10 June 1823 in Malmerswende am Harz thus arriving at an age
of 84 yrs. 7 mos. and 19 days. His birth home adjoined the birth residence of the
well-known German poet, G.A. Buerger. In 1848 he came to America and settled in
Sheboygan, and in 1850 he moved to Mishicott when it was still a wilderness,
populated by Indians, and established a farm there which he operated for many
years. He later opened a store which he operated with great success. He especially
interested himself in the development of the Farmer's Fire Insurance Assoc. of
Mishicott, and served about 30 years as its secretary. In 1853 he married Miss
Sophie Bohlmann and this fortunate union produced 3 sons and a daughter. For the
past four years he has been living with his son here, Ferdinand Heyroth, except
for a short interval, and it was in this residence that he died yesterday morning.
He had suffered off and on with asthma, but on Tuesday morning he smoked an entire
cigar with relish and felt quite well. That evening he went to bed and about 3 a.m.
yesterday morning Mrs. Heyroth discovered that he was no longer alive and that he
had passed without pain. In addition to his sorrowing widow, he leaves the above
referred to children, 14 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. The funeral will
be held Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. under the direction of the Odd Fellows from the
funeral home at 1601 Michigan Avenue.
