DEATH OF REV. WOEHLER
--------------------
Well Known Former Appletonian Dies
In Green Bay at a Ripe Old Age

Rev. E.T.H. Woehler, formerly of this
City, died Thursday evening at his home in Green Bay, aged 80 years. His death was the result of injuries sustained by a fall about five weeks ago. Rev. Woehler was one of the very earliest pioneer preachers of this region. For a number of years his home was in Appleton, and he was widely known and generally beloved for his genial personality and kindly spirit as well as for his Christian character and labors. In spite of his years the reverend gentlemen was well preserved and hearty. About two years ago Rev. Woehler and wife celebrated their golden wedding at the home of their son, Julius Woehler, in this city, an occasion which is remembered by friends hereabouts. Deceased leaved a widow and eleven children. The body was brought to this city for interment.

APPLETON CRESCENT
FUNERAL OF REV. WOEHLER
Many Friends Assemble to Pay a Last Tribute to the Pioneer Preacher.

The Presbyterian Church was none too large to hold the neighbors and friends who assembled Sunday afternoon to pay their last tribute to the memory of the late Rev. E.T.H. Woehler. The services were conducted by the Revs. John McCoy and John Faville. After prayer, singing and scripture reading, Rev Faville spoke briefly of the life of the deceased, and his relations to the people of this neighborhood. He thought that a fitting inscription for the tomb of the deceased would be three words "Pioneer, Patriarch, Preacher." Rev. Faville's remarks naturally related to these three ideas, which he showed to be intimately associated with the history of the venerable man whose body lay before the altar. Rev. McCoy afterwards
spoke very briefly of the deceased with whom he was less well acquainted, referring especially to the golden anniversary of Rev. and Mrs. Woehler, not long ago, at which he had been present and had officiated at the reuniting of the aged couple. Mr. Faville then made a prayer, another hymn was sung and the benediction pronounced. The funeral processsion was then formed and the body of the pioneer preacher was followed by a large cortege to Riverside Cemetery, where it was laid tenderly away to its long rest. A large number of old time friends from all parts of the county and from neighboring cities were present at the funeral.
