Apparently in the best of health, Fred Wieting, for almost twenty years a resident of Kiel, passed away at his home at 922 Fourth Street here Tuesday evening at about 11:00. Death was due to a heart attack. Mr. Wieting had that same day visited with a sister, Mrs. Fred Tess, and with his grand-daughter, Miss Lydia Tamm, at Green Bay. He retired in the evening in normal health, and the end came quietly.
The deceased was born Feb. 3, 1856, in New York State. At the age of three he came to Wisconsin with his parents, who settled in town of Charlestown, where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage October 22, 1879, to Miss Mary Schilling of Schleswig. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Ludwig Zenk.
After their marriage the couple took possession of a farm near Brillion, where they spent 17 years. From Brillion they moved to Charlestown to remain for a year, after which they took over the Henry Shilling homestead in Schleswig, the farm where Mrs. Wieting was born. Disposing of the farm in 1912 to their son, Edwin, they moved to Kiel, where they have since made their home.
Surviving besides his widow are three children: Mrs. E. W. Tamm of this city, Mrs. Ervin Wieting of Cleveland, and Edwin on the homestead farm. A sister, Mrs. Fred Tess, lives in Green Bay, and a brother, the Rev. August Wieting is in Milwaukee. Eight grandchildren also survive.
