From Der Nord Westen, 24 Apr. 1902:
Death yesterday morning following a long illness of 81-yr. old Jacob Lenz, one of the
oldest settlers in our city. He came from Germany in the '40's, settling in Manitowoc in
1847 where he has lived ever since. He was involved in several types of businesses here,
most recently a furniture store which he gave up to enjoy a wellearned rest. Following
the death of his wife a few years ago he himself has been ill. He is not survived by any
children. The last several years he has enjoyed the hospitality of his brother-in-law
Carl Werbke here. The funeral was held Sat. afternoon.
*******
Norman Werbke and wife and Miss Mathilda Gehbe of Oshkosh are
here for the funeral of the late Jacob Lenz.
