Obituary:
Herman Schwab, Stricken At Summer Cottage, Dies Last Night
OUTING OF FAMILY HAS SAD ENDING
Deceased was Assistant General Superintendent of Goods Plants—
Burial on Thursday
Suffering a sudden attack of illness which developed into pneumonia,
Herman Schwab, aged 52, assistant general superintendent in charge of manufacture at the three plants of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing
Company here and at Two Rivers, passed away at 8:30 Monday evening, at the family cottage at Cedar Lake, where the family had been since Saturday noon, enjoying the Labor Day weekend holiday. Flags at half mast at the plants of the company this morning told the workers of the
sudden demise of Mr. Schwab. Although the deceased had not been in the best of health for several months and was compelled to leave his post for a time last year on account of a nervous breakdown, his condition seemed improved of late and he has been in unusually bright spirits
the last weekend, entertaining many visitors over Sunday and Monday at the Schwab cottage at the lake. Shortly after dinner yesterday he complained of feeling ill and at 3:30 his condition took a turn for the worse and Mrs. Schwab summoned a physician. However, he continued to sink rapidly and breathed his last at 8:30 in the evening.
Started With Goods 30 Years Ago.
Born in the town of Two Rivers on the Range Line road, October 18, 1876, he attended the country schools and early in life entered the employ of the Manitowoc Aluminum Novelty Co., in this city, Sept. 1, 1898. His first duties were those of a press operator in the then small plant,which was at that time operating less than a dozen presses. In 1901,
he, by hard work and diligent attention to details, was promoted to be foreman of the department, which had more than doubled in size. He continued in charge of this department until 1918 when he was named assistant general superintendent of the Goods Co. plant.
Was Safety Worker.
Mr. Schwab was a great advocate of safety and at the time of his death was a member of the executive committee of the Power Press section of the National Safety council. In addition to his duties at the big plants of the Goods company here and at Two Rivers, Mr. Schwab found time to
join with his associates in lodge activities and was a member of the Odd Fellows, the Eagles and the Elks lodge. On November 27, 1902 he was united in marriage to Miss Mathilda Zingsheim and last fall the couple celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. The widow together with two children, a son, Erwin and a daughter, Helen, survive. Four brothers,
Edward Schwab of Los Angeles, California, Arthur of Sacramento, California, August of Milwaukee and Max of Appleton and a sister, Mrs. Peter Scherer of Two Rivers, also survive. The remains may be viewed this evening from
7 to 9 at the Pfeffer Undertaking parlors on Washington street and they will be taken to the Schwab home, 1612 Marshall street Wednesday morning.
Burial will take place on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock from the home with the services in charge of the Odd Fellows lodge.

Biography:
MAX SCHWAB, a well-known young business man and educator of Appleton, Wisconsin, who with H. L. Bowlby is engaged in conducting the Actual Business College, was born in Two Rivers township, Manitowoc county, Wisconsin, February 3, 1880, a son of Edward and Agnes Schwab, natives of Berlin, Germany, who came to the United States in 1847. Edward Schwab was a farmer by occupation, and on coming to this country took up wild land, which he cleared, making a comfortable home for his family, and at one time owned 160 acres of land. His family consisted of ten children, of whom the youngest was Max. Max Schwab first attended the common schools of Manitowoc county, and then entered the Sheboygan Business College, from which he was graduated. After taking the course at the Scranton school, he represented their course in Wisconsin and Michigan for six years, and on January 28, 1911, formed a partnership with Mr. H. L. Bowlby, in the Actual Business College, a school organized by Mr. Bowlby and A. M. Erling, Mr. Erling leaving the school at the time that Mr. Schwab entered. From 1904, when it was organized, to the present time the school has increased its attendance from eight to 160 pupils, and it is rapidly gaining the reputation of being one of the best schools of its kind in Wisconsin .
On January 25, 1906, Mr. Schwab was united in marriage with Carrie Johannes, of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and they have had one daughter, Wilma. The family home during the past four years has been in Appleton .
