Obituary Michael Wiesner

Following an illness of only one week, Michael Wiesner, one of Benzinger Township's most prominent and popular farmes and active in political circles, died last night at 8:45 o'clock at his home on Ford avenue. His death was caused by pneumonia. Thru misinformation his illness was noted as being due to a stroke in yesterday's paper, but it was pneumonia which caused his death. He contracted a cold about a week ago and developed that dread disease and despite the strenuous efforts on the part of his physician he expired last evening. His death came as a great blow to his many friends and acquaintances for not until yesterday did it become generally known that he was dangerously ill.
Mr. Wiesner was born here on February 17, 1861 and would have been sixty-three years old on his next birthday. He was the son of George and Margaret Wiesner, the latter still living here. He attended the Township schools when a lad and afterwards assisted on the farm later taking up lumbering as a vocation and business. When the woods became depleted he again turned to farming and was very successful, standing in the formost ranks of Benzinger Township's farmers. He was elected Tax Collector, and served in that capacity up to the time of his death.
On September 1xth (illegible) he was married to Miss Catherine Hummel, in St. Mary's church, and the coupld took up residence on the Hummel Farm on Alphonse Road, later named Ford avenue.
To the Wiesner union were born five children, two daughters and three sons. They are Rose (Mrs. F. J. Seth) of Maurus street, and Clara (Mrs. R. W. Blassey of DuBois and William and Albert of town and Fr. Gregory, O.S.B. of St. Bede College, Peru, Illinois. His mother also survives as do four brothers, Feorge, Joseph, Louis and John all of town, and five sisters, Mrs. John Wolf, Mrs Alois Benninger, Mrs. Joseph Haberberger and Mrs. George Burden all of town and Mrs. Joseph Erick of Beechwood.
Mr. Wiesner was one of those whole souled, hearty, jovial men in whom character has attained its greatest height. He was a good Christian gentleman, broad-minded and altruistic. Indulgent and lovable to his family at all times and withal a man of whom nothing but good can be said.
