Read More	Henry was the son of William and Fredricka Wegner. He married Anna Bietz on April 9, 1889 in Arcadia, Iowa. They were the parents of Albert, Ella, Frank, George, Grace, Edward, and Viola. July 19, 1940 - Carroll Daily Harold - Funeral services for Henry F Wegner, pioneer resident here who passed away Thursday afternoon, will be held at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Huffman Funeral Home, with the Rev A.O. Blecke, pastor of the Lutheran Church officiating. Burial will be in the family lot in the Carroll cemetery and pallbearers will be Henry J Franzwa, Joseph Hoelscher, John Piatt, and Henry Millenacker. The body is resting at the family home having beeen removed there from the funeral home early this afternoon. Mr Wegners death, which occurred at his home, terminated a long illness. He had been in failling health since prior to Christmas time and confined to bed the greater part of the last two months. He died at the age of 73 years. Mr Wegner had followed the blacksmith trade in Carroll county since he was 18 years old, having gone in to the work in the "horse and buggy days" when the ring of the anvil was a familiar sound on the streets of Carroll. He was born May 10, 1867, a son of William and Fredricka Wegner, who then lived in Chicago, near the place now called Brighten Park. They resided there at the time of the big fire. In the spring of 1877, he came with his parents to Sheridan Township, where they broke the prairie land on their farm. Mr Wegner arrended the Lutheran parochial school and was confinrmed in the present Lutheran Church of Lidderdale, which was then located a short distance north of town. Leaving his fathers farm to take up blacksmithing when he was 18, Mr Wegner first worked for Mr. Loepke at Arcadia. Four years later he was married to Miss Anna Bietz, a Sheridan Twonship neighbor. The ceremony which took place April 9, 1880, was performed by the Rev Mr Sessler, who had confirmed Mr Wegner and who later baptised some of his older children. Mr Wegner continued blacksmithing in Arcadia about two years. Then he came to Carroll to go into business for himself, his shop standing where the county garage is now located. Later he worked for Hamilton & Lucey, who operated a shop on the present site of the Automotive Electric Service Company, North Main Street. In 1905 Mr Wegner left this shop to return to his fathers farm northwest of Carroll, so that his growing boys could help him. After farming for six years he decided to return to the firm of Hamilton & Lucey at the time that Charles Hamilton became Sheriff of Carroll County. He bought out Mr. Hamilton's interest, and the firm name then became Lucey & Wegner. This partnership continued for a short time after which Mr Wegner began working for Fred Franzwa about the year 1914. In 1934 Mr. Wegner opened his little shop adjoining his home in Maple Park, which he continued to operate as long as his health permitted. Active in civic affairs, Mr. Wegner had served as councilman from the third ward for a term. He had been a fire policeman in the Carroll Fire Department back in the earliest days of the organization. He received his honorary certificate after twenty years of service. Mr. Wegner leaves his wife and five children: Edward F. Wegner, Council Bluffs; Albert C. Wegner, Mrs. John Stammeyer (Ella), and Frank Wegner, Carroll; and George H. Wegner, Chicago; seven grandchildren: Norman, Merle, Mary Ann, Charlotte, Eddie Jr., Catherine Mae and Ann Wegner; and one sister, Mrs. Sophie Tiedje, Portland, Ore. He was preceded in death by two daughters, Viola who died at the age of three years, and Grace, ten. Mr. and Mrs. Wegner had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, the observance being held at their home here April 9, 1939.
