Was One of Last Two Surviving Civil War Veteran in County

Constantine Heimann, 94, one of the last two surviving Civil war veterans in Calumet county died at his home in the town of Charlestown Sunday evening at 9:30. He had suffered a hip fracture in a fall last May 18 which confined him to his bed thereafter. He daughter and on-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Woelfel lived with him.

Mr. Heimann was born in Radmansdorf, Upper Silesia, Germany, Aug. 27, 1842, son of Joseph Heimann and Anna Kunard. In April 1953, he came with his parents to America. They spent eight weeks on the sailing vessel that took then to New York. From there they took a train to Buffalo where they booked passage on a Great Lakes steamer bound for Sheboygan. Arriving at Sheboygan, their next mode of transportation was by team to Plymouth, and thence by an ox-drawn wagon to Hayton, which was at that time known as Dicks. The family put up at Hayton until a house could be built for them on the present Frank Heimann homestead, east of St. Martin's church in the town of Charlestown.

As a youth, Mr. Heimann assisted his father in clearing the land for cultivation and worked as occasion offered for other farmers in the vicinity. In January 1865, he joined the northern army in the Civil war as a member of Company E, 27th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and served until the close of the war. On being mustered out in October of the same year, he returned to Charlestown where he spent the remainder of his life. With the exception of the time he was in the service of the army, he was a resident of the county for 83 years.

He married Miss Elizabeth Schnell July 23, 1867. Fifteen children were born to their union, nine of whom survive. Mrs. Heimann died May 2, 1924.

Mr. Heimann is survived by his daughters, Mrs. Fred Woelfel and Mrs. Conrad Woelfel of Charlestown, and Mrs. John Seipel and Mrs. Peter Loehnertz of Chilton; five sons, Joseph of Chilton, Henry of Rantoul, William and George of Charlestown and the Rev. Francis Heimann of Jericho; 57 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren.

He was buried with military honors from St. Martin's church, Charlestown, of which he had been a member since its organization in 1864, with the exception of two years that he attended St. Mary's church here. The solemn high requiem mass was celebrated by a son, the Rv. F. C. Heimann, pastor of Holy Trinity church, Jericho, assisted by neighboring priests.
