IN MEMORIAM
A large gathering of relatives and friends attended the funeral services and interment of Albert E. Wilderman, Saturday, February 11, from the family residence.
Albert E. Wilderman, the son of George and Nancy Wilderman, was born October 25, 1829, and died February 8, 1905, being 75 years, 3 months and 14 days old. His father was one of the pioneer settlers of St. Clair county, and had a large family, only one of whom, Calvin J. Wilderman of Belleville now survives.
The deceased was twice married, his first wife being Sophronia Hill, whom he married in 1857, and by whom he had five children, Theo., Ada (wife of Louis Sheets) and an infant daughter all deceased; George R., of St. Joseph, Mo., and Mary E. wife of Julius Wilderman still survive.
In 1873, he was again married, to Melissa Thompson and five children blessed this union: Luella C., Hattie (wife of Dr. Dan LeGrand of East St. Louis), Calvin A., Carrie L., and Leroy A. Wilderman.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Pool, of Belleville, at the close of which Attorney Don Turner paid an eloquent and touching tribute to the life and character of the deceased. Among other incidents he touched upon his early life in this community, its hardships and struggles, and the part he played in the development of what was then a virgin forest into the broad and fertile fields he left it. His was not a roving disposition but his greatest happiness was in the home be had made by his industry and toil and in the bosom of the loving family he bad reared.
He shirked no public duty to his country or community, was honored and respected by his acquaintances and neighbors and was always ready and willing to extend aid and comfort to those in distress and need. A man of sound business judgment, his work was especially blessed, so he lived in prosperity and peace a long and useful life and leaves a rich legacy to his bereaved family not only in worldly goods but in those richer gifts of a stainless ancestry, a Christian life, a work well done and a regard that will be held in grateful memory by all who knew him.
The influence of such a life cannot cease with death but is an incentive to noble acts and to that faith that sustains and cheers when that we have held most dear has passed away.
"There are no weary hearts in heaven,
No tired aching feet,
But joys and smiles innumerable,
As saints each other greet."
There in our Father's home above,
The dwelling of the blest,
We'll meet with loved ones 'round the throne,
And there forever rest"
