HERMAN MARTENS
TO REST BEYOND THE VALE
Just as the cares and trials of life were laid aside and his temporal
affairs arranged so that the evening of life could be spent in quiet
and peace, Henry(sic) Martens faltered by the wayside and using his cast
off burden as a pillow he fell into that sleep that gives eternal rest.
His death occurred at his home, corner Main and Marshall Sts. and was
due to a general breaking down of the system.
Since 1856 Mr. Martens, who came here previous to that time, had been
actively engaged in business, conducting a flour and feed store. He
was one of the first of Manitowoc citizens to make a shipment of grain
from the port and throughout his career was in the management of his
business.
About a year ago his health began to fail and of late he has been
obligated to rest. It was only a day or so ago, however, that he took
to his bed, and after that his decline was rapid until ?:30 o'clock
this morning, when final dissolution took place.
Deceased was born in Germany December 11, 1823 where he continued to
reside until 1850 he came to America, stopping in New York a short
time and then locating at Milwaukee and later at Watertown. In the
year 1856 he took up his home here, and in the fall of the same year
was married to Miss Sophia Kansier the wife who survives him. He
established himself in business and for nearly half a century has been
well and favorably known throughout this agency. Prosperity attended
him and in 1875 he built the store at Main and Marshall streets, which
he owned at the time of his death.
Besides an aged wife, five children, two sons and three daughters
survive him. They are Emil, Henry, Ida, Mathilda and Serena. Mr.
Martens was a man of exemplary and upright character, who was held in
high esteem by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The funeral
will Monday afternoon at two o'clock.

From Der Nord Westen, 14 Feb. 1901:
Death of Hermann(sic) Martens on Sat. morning after a year-long illness of
old age debility. He was born in Holstein 11 Dec. 1823 and came to America in
1850, settling for a while in New York then coming to Wisconsin when this state
was the mecca for all immigrants. Mr. Martens settled in Milwaukee, then moved
to Watertown and then in 1851 came to New Holstein briefly before moving to
Chicago where he spent a year in the shipbuilding trade. Once again he went to
Watertown until 1855, on to New Holstein again, then coming to Manitowoc in
1856 where he remained the rest of his life. Here he owned a general store but
continued trading in agricultural commodities. In 1856 he married Miss Sophie
Kansier (his surviving widow). The marriage produced 2 sons and a daughter. His
funeral was Mon. at the city cemetery.
