JOHN JARCHOW DEATH SUNDAY
Retired Merchant Will Be Buried On Wednesday
John Jarchow, aged 77, retired Manitowoc merchant who back in the seventies carried the mail between Manitowoc and Kiel, died Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Holy Family hospital where he was removed on Friday from the Rex Hotel after he had suffered a stroke. The deceased was engaged in business in Manitowoc for over 40 years before retiring in 1921. He erected one of the first modern business blocks on Washington street.
For years Mr. Jarchow conducted a blacksmith shop in the city and later engaged in the carriage and buggy business here. He was a lover of fine horses and always had a fine string of horses.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday at 3 p.m. from the Pfeffer funeral home with Rev. Menke officiating. The remains may be viewed there up to the time of the funeral.
The deceased was born in Germany in 1855 and came to this country with his parents in 1874, the family settling in Manitowoc. When the deceased grew to manhood he secured the contract from the government to transport the mails between this city, Valders, St. Nazianz and Kiel. He made the trip to Kiel with a team one day and returned to the city the following day.
Later he railroaded out of Manitowoc, but finally engaged in the blacksmith business here and opened his own shop on Washington street, near Ninth street. Still later he erected a two-story brick business block in 1890, and engaged in the carriage and wagon business, in connection with his smithy.
Mr. Jarchow was married 54 years ago to Miss Mary George who passed away August 31, 1931. Since that time Mr. Jarchow had been staying at the Hotel Rex with his brothers-in-law, Arthur and John George.
The deceased retired from active business in 1921 and that same year erected a new home on North Eighth street where he and his wife resided until the death of Mrs. Jarchow a little over a year ago. Four years ago the couple observed their golden wedding anniversary.
There are no children and Mr. Jarchow was the last surviving member of his family. There are nine nieces and nephews surviving.
