DEATH CALLS THE AGED
Peter Neiner, Well Known Farmer, 91
The death of Peter Neiner of the Town of Two Rivers on Wednesday, June
30, brought the close of a long and useful life. The funeral was
Saturday morning from St. Luke's church. Mr. Neiner was one of the
oldest inhabitants having reached the age of 91. He spent most of the 46
years of his residence here in farming and enjoyed success well earned
by frugality and hard work. He passed away at the home of his grandsons,
Frank Neiner, who now owns and conducts the large farm where deceased
settled soon after coming here 46 years ago from Swoiteen, Austria.
Deceased was feeling well, up to four months ago when his wife died.
Since then he has failed steadily and he welcomed the time when he could
follow. Six sons and daughters survive, Adolph Neiner, Mrs. Herman
Detjen and Mrs. A. Semmier of Milwaukee and Jos. Neiner and Mrs. Henry
Vogel of Two Rivers.
