Waldemar Arens [1830 – 1909] Calumet County Reporter --- April 7, 1909
Walter Arens, who died at Leadville, Colorado, of pneumonia about three weeks ago and was brought to New Holstein for burial last week, was well known in this section of the country and had many friends and relatives here.
Mr. Arens was born of a good parentage in Germany in 1830 and came to this country in 1849 and made his home in New Holstein where he taught school for one year. After finishing the term he went to Calumet for a short time, later going to Fond du Lac he interested himself in the mercantile business. About this time he secured a position as overseer in a copper mine at Superior. His was a rapid rise in life as he soon afterward was tendered a position as general manager in a silver mine at Leadville, Colorado, where he remained for 31 years, or until the time of his death.
He always remembered the folks where he spent his early manhood at New Holstein and many thoughts of kindness and good deeds could be laid at his door. He often came here to visit and many are those of whom he won appreciation by his kind deeds and helpful advice.
The remains were first taken to Milwaukee where they were cremated and later the ashes were conveyed to New Holstein where they were interred in the New Holstein cemetery of Tuesday afternoon, March 30, at two o'clock.
