FRANK WIESELER DIES SUDDENLY ON SUNDAY EVENING
Wynot Resident Born in a Covered Wagon While Enroute to Nebraska
Funeral On Sunday
Wife and Eight Children Survive
--Was the Last Living Member of His Family
Frank Wieseler, 72 years old, life long resident of Cedar county died suddenly at his home 2 1/2 miles northwest of Wynot Sunday evening following a brief illness. Death was caused from Influenza and other complications.
He had been ill for only a few days but his condition gradually grew critical Saturday morning so that little hopes were held out to members of the family for his recovery. His niece, Miss Gertrude Steinhoff, a nurse, and two attending physicians were at his bedside. Death occurred at 9:30 on Sunday evening with his wife and all his children being with him.
Born in Covered Wagon
Frank Wieseler, son of Frank and Wilhemia Wieseler, was born June 9, 1861 in the Omaha vicinity while the family were enroute to Dubuque, Ia., to St. Helena, making the trip with covered wagon and oxen. The Wieseler family came directly to St. Helena and took a homestead 2 1/2 miles south of St Helena which is now occupied by the Ed Wiesler family.
On April 29, 1891, Mr. Wieseler and Miss Christina Suing, daughter of Clem Suing, of St. Helena, were united in marriage at the St. Helena church. They began housekeeping on the Wieseler farm place 2 1/2 miles southwest of Wynot where they have lived all of the 42 years of married life.
Mr. Wieseler was remarkably active all of his life and a few days before his death wanted to cut wood nearby. He experienced all of the hardships which befell the early settlers of this vicinity. He was also one of the men who assisted in the building of the St. Helena church of which he was a member and later assisted in the erection of the Wynot church of which he became a member after his marriage.
The late Mr. Wieseler was the last living member of his race. His brothers, John, Barney, Henry, Joe, and sister, Mrs. Louis Foerster, Mrs. John Bruns and Mrs. Geo. Steinoff, all preceded him in death.
Survivors
He is survived by his wife and eight children. The daughters are Mrs. Martin Hoebelheinrich of Menominee, Mrs. Peter Hoesing and Mrs. John H. Kathol of Bow Valley and Mrs. John Feilmeier of Hartington, and four sons, Leo, Anton, of Wynot and Francis and Louis at home. Twenty-six grandchildren also survive.
Funeral rites were conducted from the Sacred Heart Catholic church at Wynot Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock with Fater Otto Zillig, pastor, officiating. Interment was made in the Wynot cemetery.
The pallbearers were all nephews of the late Mr. Wieseler and were Edw. Wieseler, Alphonse Wieseler, Fred Wieseler, John Wieseler, Henry and Clarence Foerster.
