IN MEMORIAM

Mr. Wendel Wimmer

Died, with Bright's disease, on Friday morning, June 15th, 1894, at the home of his son-in-law, S. McDonald, near Kirkwood, Ohio, Wendel Wimmer, an old German pioneer of the county, aged 69 years, six months and 27 days.  Until three weeks before his death he had lived with his son-in-law John Staphon, but as he felt his end approaching, he expressed the desire to die where his wife had died in May, 1892.

Born in Germany, the deceased came to America at the age of twenty, and settled in the Southern part of Shelby county, Ohio, where he remained till his death.  Eight children, one son and seven daughters, mourn their loss.  The daughters are Mrs. Anthony Brinn, Sidney, Mrs. John Staphon, near Piqua; Mrs. Samuel McDonald, near Kirkwood; Mrs. Daniel Stauner, West Milton; Mrs. Jas. Burke, Dayton, Ohio.  The funeral ceremonies took place on Sunday afternoon, June 17th, from the German Catholic Church from when the remains were interred in the Catholic Cemetery, of Piqua.
