Joseph John Weinholdt died at his home in Tobacco township after an illness of 
eight years, Dec. 10, 1918, at 8:15 in the evening, aged 78 years, two months 
and 26 days. He was born Sept. 14, 1840, at Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany. He 
came to America in the fall of 1856, and located in Aliss township, Renfroh 
county, Ontario. He was married May 3, 1884, to Emelia Smith, who died in 
October, 1877. To this union eight children were born, four of whom survive 
him, John, Christopher, William and Henry, all living in Canada. In 1872 he 
became a naturalized citizen of Canada.
   Later he was married to Bertha A. Hass, who died May 24, 1892. Two children 
were born to them --- Julius A. C., living at home, and Mrs. Anna May Kunold 
of Canada. After living a widower two years he was married to Fredericka 
Caroline Richter, May 9, 1894, who survives him. On May 17, 1894, they moved 
on a farm in Tobacco township, where they have since resided.
   He was confirmed in the Lutheran church April 1, 1855. During his last 
illness he longed to be relieved of his suffering to go to meet his God. He 
said to his wife a short time before his death that he knew now he would 
depart this life, as he saw the heavens opened. He died so peacefully and 
easily that his family hardly had time to reach his bedside beforee he drew 
his last breath. Services were conducted Thursday morning, Dec. 12, from the 
home by Rev. P. A. Arnold. Interment took place in Dale cemetery. Gladwin
