Sources: Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers: War of the Rebellion _____________________________ LeMars Semi-Weekly Sentinel 6-25-1909 WAS A VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR His End Came Suddenly, He Being Stricken With Paralysis at an Early Hour on Saturday and Passing Away On Monday Night John T. Remer died at his home in this city on Monday night about half past nine o'clock at the age of seventy eight years and six months. Death was due to hemorrhage of the brain which caused paralysis. He was apparently in his usual health when he retired to rest on Friday evening. On Saturday morning he failed to get up at his custom arising time and when his wife called him and received no response, she went to his beside and found that was unable to speak or move. Medical aid was quickly summoned. Mr. Remer regained consciousness after the attack, but on Sunday night relapsed into insensibility and passed away in the evening. John Remer was a native of Germany, where he was born on December 1, 1830 in the village of Zarnekow, in the Dargun district, province of Mecklenburg. Here he received his early training and education and grew to man's estate. When twenty four years of age he left his native land to seek his fortune in the golden Eldorado of the western hemisphere and came to America, settling first in Milwaukee. In 1856 he was united in marriage with Caroline Wiesenberg and for fifty three years they have traveled the vale of life together in sweet harmony and constancy, sharing eachothers joys and woes, making a successful struggle in life's battle and rearing a large family of children who have grown to useful man and womanhood with children and grandchildren of their own. Mr. and Mrs. Remer after their marriage went into farming in Kewanee county, Wisconsin where they lived until 1861 when they moved to another farm in Fond du Lac county. During the terrific struggle between the North and South, when blood and treasure were poured forth like water, fair lands devastated, beautiful homes razed to the ground, women widowed and children orphaned and the world stood aghast, uncertain of the conflict, John Remer, with many another whose praises are unsung with a sob in his throat and a swelling of the heart, kissed his wife and babes farewell, shouldered his musket and went to the front serving in the Seventeenth Wisconsin regiment. At the close of the war he resumed his peaceful avocation of farming and in 1884 with his family moved to the garden spot of northwestern Iowa. He bought a farm in America township where he lived until about eight years ago when he and his faithful spouse came to LeMars to make their home and enjoy rest and solace in the golden sunset of their long and weel spent years. Mr. Remer in early youth was possessed of strong religious convictions and all through his life was unswerving to his creed and faithful to Him in whom he had strong belief. He was born of parents imbued with the strong faith handed down from the times of Martin Luther when men were forced to battle for the right to worship God in their own way and was christened in the Lutheran church. In 1856 he affiliated with the German Methodist church and until the day of his death was a staunch and consistent member. He held offices in the local church at various times, being elder, Sunday school superintendent and a class leader. In his business life he was strict and just, giving to every man his due and expecting the same. Staunch to his friends and a good citizen , one of those who do their work in the world without much flourish of trumpets, but with a steadfastness and singleness of purpose which gains the crowning reward of "well done, thou good and faithful servant '' Of seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Remer, six, with the aged mother, mourn h i s death. Two of them live here, Frank, of America township, and Rosine, a t home. The others live in Wisconsin, near Almond, and are John Remer, Mrs. H. F. Holley, Mrs. A. Kemmitz and Mrs. John Kreeger, near Steven's Point. The funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon at the German Methodist church and were very largely attended by o l d f r i e n d s a n d neighbors. The pastor of the church. Rev. F. H. Thiel, paid tribute to the virtues of the departed, making addresses i n English and German. Tbe members of Mower Post, G. A. R., attended the funeral, paying the last honors to another of their number who heeded the call of his country in her distress. The pall bearers were selected from old friends and members of the post and were I. S. Struble, D. R. Edmonds, George Heyl, H. Backberg, H. Scweppe, F. Steinhauser.
