Wilhelm was a farmer in Germany. The family immigrated to the United States in 1881 (not in Hamburg lists). Proceeded from New York to Toledo where for the next four years he was employed in sawmills. He came to Wisconsin in July 1885 and for two years made his home at Fremont in Waupaca County. He was next at Oshkosh for a short time, working in a packing house there, and in 1887 came to Oneida County, where he first stopped at Pratt Junction and was one of the first men employed in the Lake Shore and Western Railroad north of that place. The following year he took a homestead of 160 acres at Enterprise, erecting first a log cabin, then later another house. The Wenzel farm house in Enterprise burned down. Moved to town of Pelican in 1908 (bought in 1902).
First buried in the Enterprise Cemetery and later moved to Forest Home Cemetery in Rhinelander.
