Albert Weyer Sr., 93, (photo) cheese factory operator and farmer for many years at Newton, died Sunday afternoon on the homestead farm, route 1, Manitowoc, now operated by his son, Albert Jr. He had been seriously ill the past week. Despite his advanced age Mr. Weyer continued active until stricken a week ago. He operated his own car until a year ago and less than two weeks ago penned a letter without the aid of glasses. Mr. Weyer, a resident of the county for 85 years, took great pride in his voting record. He had voted for every president since Abraham Lincoln in addition to participating in elections on "off" years.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., from the home at Newton and at two o'clock from the St. Paul's Lutheran church, Newton. He was a lifelong member of that congregation. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Six grandchildren will be pallbearers.
Born in Germany in 1846 he came to this country with his parents seven years later. The family took up an 80 acre homestead at Newton. Albert Weyer assisted his father in his early life. In 1873 he married Miss Minnie Bruns. She died 18 years ago.
Mr. Weyer engaged in farming and in 1890 built a creamery and cheese factory which became known as the Weyer Cheese factory. This he operated until 1905 when he disposed of it to his son, Otto. He made additions to the farm until it expanded to nearly 200 acres. He had been living a retired life on the homestead farm the past 20 years. He was host at a small family gathering in March, when he observed his 93rd birthday anniversary.
Survivors are four daughters, Mrs. John Ruchhoft of Los Angeles, Calif., Mrs. Edward Bruns of Sandy, Ore., Mrs. Charles Pick, city, Mrs. Otto Schmitz of Newton; two sons, Albert Jr., and John, both of Newton; 34 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Two sons, Fred and Otto and a daughter, Mrs. Elsie Wehrwein, prededed him in death.
The body may be viewed at the Pfeffer funeral home tonight and will be moved to the Weyer home Tuesday morning.
