451	BERTHA CHRISTIANSEN The wife of Mr. Christiansen of this city died on Tuesday of this week. She was a young woman of estimable qualities. Manitowoc Pilot Thursday, Aug. 18, 1881 ****** CHRISTIANSEN—In this city, Aug. 16th, BERTHA wife of M. CHRISTIANSEN in the 29th year of her age. While the summer breezes are still wantonly toying amid the beauties of nature in their fullness and glory, there are a few upon whose sense of hearing the soft footsteps of death awakens ??? Still, the silent wanderer strays about and while his gentle touch shuts out the light of love from eyes that are weary, hushes the throb of hearts warm with affection, healing and soothing on the one hand, lacerating and wounding on the other, time rolls on, material nature changes its form, and God calls that to his keeping and care that is immortal and sprung from the fountain of his great joys and goodness. Tuesday found our neighbor, Mr. M. Christiansen and his little seven year old daughter standing beside the lifeless remains of a dearly beloved wife and affectionate mother. It was but a short struggle, a few hours and a separation was consummated having but memory to turn its sorrowful loss to the past of happy years and hope, to dream its possibilities of a reunion of hearts in the unknown hereafter. Mrs. C. was a true woman, a true, affectionate wife and mother, and her departure from life an irreparable loss to the hearts that fondly lived in the sunshine of her genial nature. May the beneficent Author of our being, whose hand tempers the wind to the born lamb comfort father and child in their hour of mourning, we can but extend our sympathy.

499	Building Erected 75 Years Ago by Gus Lau Passing of Former Blacksmith Shop Recalls Old Days in North Prairie By Elmer Austin NORTH PRAIRIE - Main street in North Prairie never again will be the same. Everyone whose school days reach back to Longfellow's "Village Blacksmith" feels the loss. The big hole in the ground where the old village smithy stood for so many years is matched by an empty ache in the heart of the Prairie - especially among the oldsters. The shop, the "mighty man" and his scorched leather apron, his forge and anvil, his hammers and tongs, are gone forever. The village blacksmith shop has been taken away, to make room for the march of modern progress. RECOLLECTIONS of the history of this best known and perhaps most interesting landmark are dim in spots, but the record is clear in important details, and approximately correct as to time. Seventy five years ago Gus Lau erected the building as a wagon ship (sic). In the early days the blacksmith shop was on the ground where the Grams store now stands, and was operated by Morgan Williams. Morgan had a young fellow working with him named Jacob Supita, later to become one of the leading characters in this story. GUS LAU SOLD his wagon shop to Ed Stooper, and Stooper in turn was succeeded by Julius Hammond. By this time, it was being operated as a blacksmith shop. Jacob Supita now re-entered the picture, and remained there for half a century. "Jake," only recently passed away, became the owner of the business near the close of the nineteenth century, and plied his trade during most of the first half of the twentieth. It is Jake who remains in the memory of most of us now as the village blacksmith. Known for miles around the Prairie, Jake, an honest workman and a good one, shod horses, repaired machinery, sharpened plow points, set tires, and did all the work that a blacksmith is called upon to do. HE WAS THE expert mechanic upon whom everybody depended to keep things moving, and he did. After all those years at the forge and anvil, Jake decided to call it a finished job, and sold out to a man by the name of Fred, whose last name cannot be recalled. Clairmont Beatty, the last of the smiths, finally sold the property to the bank, and the building was purchased from the bank by Harry Hurst, principally for the material which it contained. In Jake's time, the village blacksmith was a vital element in the rural economy - in the days when horsepower came from horses, and not from a tractor. Then, too, courting, some of it, was done with the lines wound around the whipstock, and not in -a hot rod or convertible. The passing of the shop where the smith operated and the horses were shod marks the end of an era of the American scene. Is that good or bad - who knows? (Most of the material used here was obtained through the kindness and cooperation of Mr. and Mrs. John Baxter, and the John and Leonard Heintz family.)

CHRISTIANSEN—In this city, Aug. 16th, BERTHA wife of M. CHRISTIANSEN in the 29th year of her age.

While the summer breezes are still wantonly toying amid the beauties of nature in their fullness and glory, there are a few upon whose sense of hearing the soft footsteps of death awakens ??? Still, the silent wanderer strays about and while his gentle touch shuts out the light of love from eyes that are weary, hushes the throb of hearts warm with affection, healing and soothing on the one hand, lacerating and wounding on the other, time rolls on, material nature changes its form, and God calls that to his keeping and care that is immortal and sprung from the fountain of his great joys and goodness.

Tuesday found our neighbor, Mr. M. Christiansen and his little seven year old daughter standing beside the lifeless remains of a dearly beloved wife and affectionate mother. It was but a short struggle, a few hours and a separation was consummated having but memory to turn its sorrowful loss to the past of happy years and hope, to dream its possibilities of a reunion of hearts in the unknown hereafter.

Mrs. C. was a true woman, a true, affectionate wife and mother, and her departure from life an irreparable loss to the hearts that fondly lived in the sunshine of her genial nature. May the beneficent Author of our being, whose hand tempers the wind to the born lamb comfort father and child in their hour of mourning, we can but extend our sympathy.

Louis Kunz, Last of Manitowoc's Pioneer Brewers, Succumbs

Manitowoc - Louis Kunz, 81, president of Kingsbury Breweries Co., and last of the early-day brewers and maltsters of Manitowoc died last night. He had been in failing health for several weeks.

Until two weeks ago, however, Mr.. Kunz was able to meet his friends and made daily visits to the Elks club, of which he was one of the oldest members. A general breakdown of his health has confined him to his home 815 Marshall street, for several days.

Funeral Thursday

Funeral Services will be held from the home Thursday at 2 p.m. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.

Mr.. Kunz continued active in the brewing business for more than half a century. He first came to this city in 1880 and five years later embarked in partnership with the late Daniel B. Bleser in the brewing business here. In the early days of his brewery activities here Mr.. Kunz was brewmaster and made special trips to Germany to study the proper brewing of ingredients going into the manufacture of beer.

The deceased was born near Stuttgart, Germany in 1854, the son of Johann and Elizabeth Kunz. HIs father was the owner of a brewery in Germany. In 1872, accompanied by a friend, Mr.. Kunz left Germany for America. He was employed for a time at Milwaukee and coming to Manitowoc, was employed, together with John Schreihart, at the Godfrey Kunz brewery at Branch.

To Manty in 1880

In 1880 Mr.. Kunz came to this city and in the following year associated himself with Mr.. Schreihart. In 1885 he formed a partnership with Daniel B. Bleser and the Kunz-Bleser company was organized. The firm leased the Schrelhart brewery, which the company operated until 1890. Purchase of the Groch and Seidel brewery followed. This plant located at Marshall and South Ninth St.., was remodeled and operated until 1905. It was torn down and replaced with a modern brick and concrete plant on the same site.

Building Erected 75 Years Ago by Gus Lau

Passing of Former Blacksmith Shop Recalls Old Days in North Prairie

By Elmer Austin

NORTH PRAIRIE - Main street in North Prairie never again will be the same. Everyone whose school days reach back to Longfellow's "Village Blacksmith" feels
the loss.

The big hole in the ground where the old village smithy stood for so many years is matched by an empty ache in the heart of the Prairie - especially among the oldsters.

The shop, the "mighty man" and his scorched leather apron, his forge and anvil, his hammers and tongs, are gone forever.

The village blacksmith shop has been taken away, to make room for the march of modern progress.

RECOLLECTIONS of the history of this best known and perhaps most interesting landmark are dim in spots, but the record is clear in important details, and approximately correct as to time.

Seventy five years ago Gus Lau erected the building as a wagon ship (sic). In the early days the blacksmith shop was on the ground where the Grams store now stands, and was operated by Morgan Williams.

Morgan had a young fellow working with him named Jacob Supita, later to become one of the leading characters in this story.

GUS LAU SOLD his wagon shop to Ed Stooper, and Stooper in turn was succeeded by Julius Hammond. By this time, it was being operated as a blacksmith shop.

Jacob Supita now re-entered the picture, and remained there for half a century. "Jake," only recently passed away, became the owner of the business near the close of the nineteenth century, and plied his trade during most of the first half of the twentieth.

It is Jake who remains in the memory of most of us now as the village blacksmith. Known for miles around the Prairie, Jake, an honest workman and a good one, shod horses, repaired machinery, sharpened plow points, set tires, and did all the work that a blacksmith is called upon to do.

HE WAS THE expert mechanic upon whom everybody depended to keep things moving, and he did. After all those years at the forge and anvil, Jake decided to call it a finished job, and sold out to a man by the name of Fred, whose last name cannot be recalled.

Clairmont Beatty, the last of the smiths, finally sold the property to the bank, and the building was purchased from the bank by Harry Hurst, principally for the material which it contained.

In Jake's time, the village blacksmith was a vital element in the rural economy - in the days when horsepower came from horses, and not from a tractor.

Then, too, courting, some of it, was done with the lines wound around the whipstock, and not in -a hot rod or convertible.

The passing of the shop where the smith operated and the horses were shod marks the end of an era of the American scene.

Is that good or bad - who knows?

(Most of the material used here was obtained through the kindness and cooperation of Mr. and Mrs. John Baxter, and the John and Leonard Heintz family.)
