GEORGE WIEDENMANN
  Local relatives received word that George Wiedenmann, a native of Brown 
county, and wellknown in New Ulm, passed away, early Saturday morning at 
4:20 o'clock, in Mankato, of heart disease.  Since suffering a paralytic 
stroke, three years ago, he had been an invalid.  Born in Milford township, 
April 22, 1868, deceased was nearing life's 68th milepost.  After completing 
his grammar school education in that community, Mr. Wiedenmann went to 
Mankato, where he had since resided.  For 35 years he owned and operated 
the Mankato Hide and Fur Co., until failing health prompted him to dispose
of the business, and retire, in 1933.  Mr. Wiedenmann married Miss Helena 
Lang, of that city, there in 1890. She preceded him in death, May 17, 1926. 
Four children were born to their union, the following three of whom survive: 
Clarence Wiedenmann, Octonto Falls, Wis.; Elmer Wiedenmann, St. Paul; and 
Jerome Wiedenmann, Mendota, Minn.  He also leaves five grandchildren, two 
great grandchildren, as well as one brother and three sisters, namely, Otto 
and Miss Lena Wiedenmann, New Ulm: Mrs. F. W. Gareis, South Gate, Calif.; 
and Mrs. Herman Pfaender, Milford township.  Mr. Wiedenmann was a member 
of the I.O.O.F. lodge and Masonic fraternity in Mankato.  
Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, in the 
Masonic temple there, Rev. John R. Pennington, pastor of the First Baptist 
church officiating.  The remains were laid to rest in Glenwood Memorial 
park, Mankato, beside the graves of his wife and daughter.  
Attending the last rites were: Otto and Miss Lena Wiedenmann, Mrs. Harold 
A. Fenske, New Ulm; Mrs. Harold Runck, Milford township; Mr. and Mrs. Carl 
Schwieger, Mrs. Paul Wiedenmann and daughter, Miss Lonita, of Sleepy Eye: 
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wiedenmann, Hanska.
