Last Saturday occurred the death of Frederick Duwe, one of the old settlers
of this city, after a chronic illness lasting several years. He
was born in Linsburg, near Neinburg, in the former kingdom of Hanover,
Germany, July 4th, 1837. He came to America in 1853 and shortly
afterward came to Guttenberg near which town he settled on a farm.
He was married in 1878 to Louisa Menke, who, with two children, Mrs. A.
H. Borman and Harry Duwe, survive him. Three sisters and two
brothers are also left to mourn his death--Mrs. Eliza Duwe of Cere, Mrs.
Henry Fisher of Clayton, Mrs. Henry Heiller of Brownsville, Minn, and
Messrs. Diedrich Duwe of this city and William Duwe of Clayton. In
1862 he enlisted in Co. D., 27th Iowa Infantry and served until 1865
when he was honorably discharged. Funeral services were conducted
from the residence Tuesday afternoon at 1:30, Rev. G. F. Braun
officiating and were attended by a large concourse of old friends who
came to pay their last respects to the deceased. Interment was in
the City Cemetery.
