Obit Fred Wempner. Plainview News, April 22, 1904.

Death of Fred Wempner

Fred Wempner, an old and respected citizen of this place, died at 
the home of his brother, Henry, in the town of Oakwood, Tuesday, April 
19, 1904, of heart failure. He has been failing in health since last 
November and for the past several weeks has been confined to his bed.
Deceased was born at Franklin, Wis, in 1856 and came with his parents 
to Minnesota when about two years of age. He was unmarried and has 
always made his home with relatives. At the age of 18 he took a liking 
to threshing and he has followed that occupation ever since, never 
missing a fall but what he was with a threshing crew. There is hardly 
a farmer on Greenwood Prairie whom he has not threshed for and he was 
a man well known and well liked. Besides an aged father, Ernest Wempner,
he leaves two brothers, Ed and Henry all of this place to mourn his loss.
Funeral services will be conducted from the German Congregational 
church at Theilman tomorrow, Rev Krahn officiating and interment 
made at that place.
