154 | Brief Illness Claims County Pioneer Death today claimed one of the pioneer and well-known residents of Manitowoc and Manitowoc county when Mrs. Charles Friedl, 81, 1413 South Tenth street, died after an illness of only a few days' duration. Her death was due to complications attendant upon advancing age. For many years, Mrs. Friedl, nee Grall, was a resident of this city and lived in the home in which she died for 52 years. Born in Germany on Dec. 2, 1850, Mrs. Friedl came to the United States when five years of age and the family immediately took up its residence in Manitowoc county. She was married to Charles Friedl on Sept. 28, 1873, her husband preceding her in death 18 years ago. Mrs. Friedl was active until the time of her death and was about as usual until Sunday when she complained of a cold but her condition was not regarded as being particularly serious until early this week. Only recently she was the honored guest at a family celebration arranged in commemoration of her 81st birthday anniversary and personally greeted her many children and other close relatives. Besides the daughter, Mrs. Theresa Herrmann with whom she made her home, Mrs. Friedl is survived by three other daughters, Mrs. John E. Reindl, Chicago, and Mrs. Sophie Butler and Mrs. Odon J. Wilda, Manitowoc; six sons, Charles, John, William, Frank and Edwin of Manitowoc and George of Kenosha; two brothers, Jsoeph Grall, Marshfield and John Grall, California; two sisters, Mrs. John Leitermann, Duck Creek, and Mrs. Peter Chadek, Green Bay; 12 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Burial Saturday Although her primary interest was in her home, Mrs. Friedl was active in church affairs and was a member of the St. Theresa and St. Ann Societies of the St. Boniface church. Funeral services will be held from the home at 1413 South Tenth street at 9:30 o'clock and from the St. Boniface church at 10 o'clock Saturday morning with Msg. Willliam Peil officiating. Interment will take place at Calvary cemetery. The remains are to be removed to the home from Pfeffer funeral home tomorrow noon. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.

194 | HERMAN STEHN This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.301-302. Herman Stehn, cashier of the State Bank of Mishicot, Wisconsin, is well known and highly esteemed in the village, in the vicinity of which he has spent all his life. Mr. Stehn was born in the town of Mishicot, July 9, 1864, and is a son of August and Anna (Wolf) Stehn, natives of Oldenburg, Germany, where they were married. The parents came to the United States in 1857, on a sailing vessel that took eight weeks to make the journey, and first located in New York city, where the father followed his trade of carpenter. After a short time in New York, August Stehn and his wife came to Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and then moved to a forty acre tract of wild land in the town of Mishicot on section 20, on which he built a log cabin. After clearing this property he sold it and acquired one hundred and thirty acres in the same town, and there he spent the remainder of his life, dying in 1899 at the age of seventy-two years. His wife was born in 1825, and both were members of the Lutheran church. One of the prominent men of his day and locality, August Stehn took an active +interest in politics and served in various offices, and he was treasurer of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company for a number of years. He and his wife had seven children: Lizzie, the widow of August Quistorf, of Mishicot; Lena, the wife of Charles Voelker, of Mishicot; Doris, the wife of Louis Holtzger, of Oconto county; Charles, who died in 1876, at the age of twenty years; Mary, who also died when twenty years of age; Herman; and Ira, who lives in Mishicot. Herman Stehn was educated in the schools in the vicinity of his father’s farm, and resided at home until 1903. He was the owner of the home property and also of a large cheese factory, the latter of which he sold in 1905 and purchased his present fine home situated on the outskirts of the village of Mishicot. In 1904 he was elected superintendent of assessments of Manitowoc county, but after five years resigned from that office to accept his present position as cashier of the State Bank of Mishicot, which was organized March 9, 1910. Previous to this time he had been town clerk for six years, chairman of the board for four and one-half years and school clerk for eighteen years. For fourteen years he served as treasurer of the Farmers German Mutual Insurance Company, and he now serves as secretary therof. On November 13, 1886, Mr. Stehn was married to Annie Holtzer, who was born in Kossuth, Wisconsin, a daughter of William and Christina Holtzer. Politically Mr. Stehn is a democrat, and fraternally associated with the I.O.O.F. Lodge, No. 66, of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. | STEHN, Herman (I8141)

195 | HOW THE CARP GOT HERE A.Specht, who was buried at Mishicot last week, was a former resident of the Town of Gibson where he owned a farm. About thirty years ago, Mr. Specht had a fish pond on his farm which was located near the Mishicot river. It is said that he sent East for some German carp, which he undertook to raise in his pond, thinking that this specie of fish would be rapidly propagated there. It was believed, at that time, that carp were a desirable fish for food but it was discovered later that the meat was course and undesirable. The carp were left in the pond and no attention was paid to them until one spring the pond was destroyed by a flood and became connected with the river and the fish disappeared from the original pond. Not long after many carp were noticed in the river where they had found an abundance of food. They are a menace to small fish and of late years it has been noticed that the rice beds along the shores of our rivers, which have been the favorite feeding grounds of game birds, were rapidly disappearing. Upon examination it was found that these beds were being destroyed by the carp, which live upon its roots that they dig up from the bottom. The carp has a voracious nature, similar to a hog and it is slow and lazy and cannot be caught with hook and line. They are found in both our rivers and it would be a benefit to the angler and the hunter if they could be removed. In Europe carp are bred in ponds in many places for food and they are said to be very appetizing if properly prepared but the secret of preparing them for the table has not yet been discovered in this country or possibly, the fish propagated here are deteriorated in American waters.
