He bore his illness with the utmost patience and even cheerfulness. Death came to him peacefully - not as an enemy, but as a friend, relieving him of pain which no earthly power could alleviate. There is no thought so comforting to the surviving son and daughter as the expectation of meting him in the land "up yonder." Mr. Wismeier was a son of Michael and Margaret (Reichart) Wismeier. He was born in Annspach, Bavaria, May 6, 1845, and was therefore 83 years of age at the time of his death. In 1854 in company with his mother and step father, Mr. and Mrs. John Keitel, two sisters and one brother, he emigrated to the United States and landed at New Orleans, and traveled from there to St. Louis, where the family resided for three months. The long and dangerous journey was made in a sailing vessel, in two days less than three months' time. His brother and one sister died of malaria fever shortly after landing. In the early spring they came to Dubuque, and then to Richland Center, where they lived with the family of Simon Reichart for a year. In 1865 Mr. and Mrs. Deitel purchased the farm where Mr. Wismeier resided until the time of his death. He was married May 6, 1889, to Matilda Hanken, who preceded him in death August 25, 1894. He is survived by two children, Margaret and Henry, three grandchildren and one nephew, Leonard Durst, of Monticello. Funeral service will be held tomorrow (Friday) at 2 p.m., at the Richland Center Presbyterian church, with Rev. Henry Marks, the pastor, in charge. Interment will be made in Oakwood cemetery. * * * * * * * *
