HERMAN OSTHOFF

Newspaper unknown probably Manitowoc Countydate 1920

Seemingly overcome with a fit of despondency induced by failing health Herman Osthoff former cashier of the Bank of Elkhart Lake, committed suicide in the basement of the bank Thursday morning. A statement, addressed to his wife, and apparently written just before he fired a bullet from a Colt 38 into his brain gave us a reason for the action, a nervous breakdown and an inability to further provide for his wife. Mr. Osthoff, a native of Milwaukee and the son of the founder of Osthoff's Hostel, had been cashier of the Elkhart Lake Bank for the past ten years. He also served as village clerk for six years and took a prominent part in all things pertaining to the development of the village. News of the death came as a shock to many of his friends everywhere, who, though knowing that he has been ill, did not know that he was give to despondency. Besides his wife, Mr. Osthoff is survived by his mother, a sister, Mrs. Otto Just of Elkhart Lake and a brother, Oscar Osthoff of Milwaukee. Funeral services were held Friday by the Plymouth Masonic order and the body transported to Milwaukee for burial, interment being made in the family lot in the Forest Home cemetery.
