PAUL WIEDENMANN, SLEEPY EYE, DIES
Prominent Business Man Was Native of Milford Township - Funeral Wednesday
  Sleepy Eye lost one of its prominent residents and former business men, 
early Sunday morning at 5:15 o'clock, when Paul Wiedenmann of that city 
succumbed to a chronic ailment, at the Union hospital here.  Mr. Wiedenmann 
had been ailing for several years, and submitted to an operation at the

his surviving widow, in this city, June 8, 1899.  They moved to Echo, 
where Mr. Wiedenmann conducted a business, in partnership with John Backer 
of this city, for some five years, when Mr. Wiedenmann bought his partner's 
interest. About 22 years ago, the Wiedenmann family located at Sleepy Eye, 
where deceased had since resided.
  Besides his widow, Mr. Wiedenmann leaves three children, namely, Herbert 
Wiedenmann, Huntington Park, Calif.; Mrs. Carl Schwieger, Sleepy Eye, and 
Miss Lunita Wiedenmann, at home.  The following two brothers and three 
sisters also survive: Miss Lena and Otto Wiedenmann, New Ulm; George 
Wiedenmann, Mankato; Mrs. Fred Gareis, South Gate, Calif., and Mrs. Herman 
Pfaender, Milford township.
  The remains were taken to Sleepy Eye, where funeral services were conducted,

of St. John's Ev. Lutheran church, officiating.  
Interment was made in the Home cemetery.
