Sibley County Enterprise
Thursday 29 August 1895

AN OLD SETTLER GONE
	Another one of Sibley county's old settlers has gone to the land 
from which none return.  Henry Wiemeier Sr., died at the home of his 
son William, in Dryden township, 3' miles west of Arlington, on the 
evening of Aug. 23. 
Deceased was one of Sibley county's oldest settlers.  He came to this 
county, settling in Dryden township in 1858, when this county was nothing 
but a wilderness, infested by Indians.
	Deceased leave an aged wife and five children, three daughters
and two sons, to mourn his death.  Mr. Wiemeier had been confined to 
his bed since last winter and had been steadily losing strength, until 
he was unable to move himself without help.
	Henry Wiemeier was born in Kurhessen, Germany, Feb. 5, 1822 and 
died Aug. 23, 1895 and was therefore 73 years of age at the time of 
his death.  The funeral was held from the residence of his son William, 
where he passed away.  Rev. Kock, of the German Lutheran church 
officiated and the remains were laid to rest in the Arlington cemetery.  
The funeral was one of the largest ever held in this part of the county, 
over 80 teams being in line.
