AMELIA KAEMS
One of Oldest City Pioneers Passes
MRS. E. KAEMS, 95 WHO CAME HERE IN 1854, PASSES
With Husband, Erected First Dwelling on the Present Site of Washington Park
Lacking but a little more than four years to rounding out a full century in
life’s span, Mrs. Emily Kaems, 95, widow of the late William Kaems, who passed
away six years ago, died early this morning, at the family home, 1026 South
Fifteenth street. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon.
Coming to Manitowoc in 1854, when this city was but a small settlement, Mrs.
Kaems, whose maiden name was Emily Gauger, was married to Wm. Kaems, two years
later in 1856. Together they erected a humble dwelling on what is now the present
site of Washington Park. It was the only habitation in that square. In those
early days wandering bands of Indians used to visit the park site, and pitch
their wigwams there.
Suffered Fractured Hip
For a period of twenty-five years, Mr. and Mrs. Kaems resided on a farm a few
miles west of the city, but later returned to this city to make their home. She
suffered a fractured hip in a fall a year ago last September and has been in
failing health since that time.
Mrs. Kaems was born in Germany in 1835, and emigrated to this country with her
parents when a girl of nineteen years, the family locating in Manitowoc. Three
sons are left to mourn her loss, Robert Kaems of this city, and John and August
Kaems, Milwaukee. One brother, Carl Gauger, of Portugal, Calif., also survives.
The remains may be viewed until Friday evening at the Wattawa and Urbanek chapel.
