Obit Henry Wempner. The Plainview News, November 12, 1915

Death of Henry Wempner

The death of Henry Wempner at his home in Oakwood last Friday, November 
5th, after a lingering illness of nearly a year and a half, marked the 
closing of a most useful life and called away a man who was well liked 
and respected by all. He was a true friend and neighbor and his memory  
will be cherished by many who have known him throughout life. While he 
has been in poor health for some time, the end was not expected and it 
came as a sudden shock to the family and friends. Thursday he had 
suffered considerable and was unable to sleep during the night. He arose 
early Friday morning about five o'clock, his wife and one son arising at 
the same time. Seated in a chair a short time later he fell over and 
would have dropped to the floor had not his son caught him, passing 
away at 5:45 without the slightest warning.
He was a man who should have been in the prime of life-49 years of age 
had he lived until December. He was a native of this county, having been 
born in the town of Glasgow, December 7, 1866, and spent his life in this 
county. He was married to Catherine Zell Jun 11,1888, and commenced farming
at once on the Pat Mehan farm. A few years later they moved to Oakwood 
where they have continued farming for the past twenty years.
He is survived by his wife and ten children, Fred of Bremen, Arthur, 
Herman,  Albert, Bertha, Paul, Elsie, Walter and Hattie, all of whom 
live on the home farm. One son, Willie, died at the age of two years, 
He is also survived by on brother, Edward, of this city.
Funeral services were held Monday morning, leaving the home at nine 
o'clock for the Evangelical church at Millville, where funeral services 
were conducted at 10 o'clock by Rev. Hausman and interment made in the 
Millville cemetery.
