Died, Wieland, Christian, at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 7, 1917, at the family residence, 1630 South Fifteenth street, of senility, aged 83 years, 11 months and 7 days. Surviving are his wife, three daughters, Mrs. J. W. Wright, Ellen Wieland, and Mary Wieland. Funeral services at the residence. Burial in Oak Hill cemetery. IL State Register, Springfield, 2-8&9-1917
Christian Wieland was a German native, and an old settler of Sangamon county and veteran of the civil war. He was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, Feb. 28, 1833, where he lived with his parents until 20 years of age, when he came to the United States and settled in Cleveland in 1853. In 1855 he started west, but stopped at Riverton, called Jamestown at that time, where he lived until twelve years ago.
At the first call sent out by President Lincoln for three months volunteers he enlisted under Colonel Mather of the Company I at Camp Butler. He re-enlisted in Battery C, Second Illinois light artillery for three years, and re-enlisted again in the same battery at the end of that time. He was mustered out at Springfield Aug. 3, 1865, as corporal, having served four years, three months and six days. All of that time he was in General Rosecrans' command, and was in the thickest part of the engagement at Fort Donaldson.
Immediately after the war he married Miss Lucy J. Chandler of Sherman. Five children were born, three daughters, Ellen, Mae, and Mrs. Joseph W. Wright, all now living about this city; and two sons, both dead. Excerpts from IL State Journal, Springfield, IL 3-2-1914, on the occasion of Christian's 81st birthday celebration.
