From Der Nord Westen, 03 Dec. 1908:
Our city has lost another of our German pioneers. Henry Wilhelmy, the
wellknown nurseryman who settled in Manitowoc in 1854, died Sunday at
age 78. Mr. Wilhelmy was born in Germany and came to America at age 24,
spending a year in New York before coming to Manitowoc. Since 1864 he
has been living on his farm at Silver Creek. He is survived by his widow
and 8 children.
