Military Funeral For Isreal Walliser
The last surviving member in Scotland, of the Grand Army of the Republic passed to his eternal reward Tuesday evening January 15th, at 10:00 o'clock. With Isreal Walliser ends the appearance of Civil War veterans at the annual Memorial Day services. Gradually but surely the ranks of these brave men have thinned so that to-day there are very few left to relate the Battle of Gettysburg or the march with Sherman to the Sea. Only those who were youngest at the time the war broke out, as was the case with the departed, have remained with us.
Isreal Walliser was born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, August 30th, 1844. When ten years of age he came with his parents to Brookville, Illinois, where he grew to manhood. When the Civil War began he was still too young to enlist, but as soon as he attained the age of eighteen he entered the army. With the first enlistment he served two years faithfully, and was honorably discharged. The war continued, and he enlisted again, this second time serving until the war ended. His honorable discharge, which is still in possession of his son Gilbert, reads as follows: "Know ye that Isreal Walliza, a Private of Capt. John A. Long, Co. K 15th Regiment of Illinois Infantry Volunteers, who was enrolled on the Seventh day of March 1865 to serve one year, or during the war, is hereby discharged from the service of the U. S. this 16th day of Sept. 1865 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
"No objection to his being re-enlisted is known to exist. By order of Major General Pope.
"Said Isreal Walliza was born in Northumberland Co., in the State of Pa., is twenty years of age, five feet seven and 1/6 inches high, Fair complexion, hazle eyes, brown hair, and by occupation when enrolled, a shoemaker.

After the war Mr. Walliser was united in marriage with Katherine Estherly. Five children were born to this union, three boys and two girls. One of the daughters was Mrs. John Boegler. One of the sons and both of the daughters preceded him in death. The one surviving son, Henry W., Lives at Kaylor, and the other, Ernest W., lives at Springfield, S. Dak. His first wife died about 1890.
When Mr. Walliser was about thirty-two years of age he came from Brookville, Illinois to what is now Hutchinson County, and settled on a claim about one mile east of the Wittenburg church. There he lived for many years. He attended the Wittenburg Evangelical Church, and served the church in one capacity or another for a number of years.
In 1894 he was married the second time with Mrs. Frances Valentine, who died in 1908. One child was born to this union, namely Gilbert Dewey Walliser, of Scotland, who, like his father, also served his country, during the World War. There are 15 grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren.
The military funeral services were held from the Scotland Evangelical Church, Friday afternoon, the Rev. O. W. Ferk in charge. World War veterans attended in a body. Members of he Daughters of the G. A. R. and the Auxiliary were also present. The flags of the wars represented by these veterans were on display. The text of the sermon was II Tim. 4:7, "I have fought a good fight," depicting the life of a good soldier. The patriotic song, "The Vacant Chair," was re-arranged to fit the occasion, and sung by the trio. The firing squad, and Color Bearers, with Major E. V. Wilcox in charge, marched in the funeral procession from the house to the church. At the interment at the Wittenburg cemetery, thirteen miles north of Scotland, after the minister had read the commitment, Major Wilcox also read the Legion ritual, the firing squad fired three rounds as a salute to the dead, and Chas. Cvrk, the bugler, sounded taps for Mr. Walliser the last time.
