The Republican, May 12, 1892 
"A SAD DEATH. - It has been our duty to chronicle many deaths, but none as sad 
or more sudden than that of Mr. John Wimmer, Jr., at the residence of his 
father, Main Street, Salem, last Sunday evening, a little past 8 o'clock, at 
the age of 30 years.  The deceased was subject to heart trouble, but was 
enjoying apparently good health during the day, and visited a number of places 
both morning and afternoon.  Late in the evening, however, in comapny with his 
brother-in-law, Mr. Jones, he reached home in a physically feeble condition and 
was scarcely assisted to his room before the spark of life fled.  His death was 
evidently due to heart trouble aided by an over-dose of bromidia which had been 
taken to quiet his nervous system from an undue use of alcoholic stimulants 
during the week.  We knew him from boyhood and saw him almost daily.  Always 
found him social, free hearted, and possessed of a good business turn, and his 
worst enemy self.  Twice he was married and leaves a wife, two children, a 
father and two brothers as surivivors in the immeidate family cirlcle, to whom 
our sympathies are  extended in this particularly sad demise.  The funeral 
services were conducted by Rev. John McCuiston and the remians interred in the 
Salem Cemetery Monday evening." END


Additional Comments:
The Republican (Winston, North Carolina). May 12, 1892 (Thursday). John Walter 
Wimmer married Mary Shutt.  He was born January 18, 1862 to John Marion Wimmer 
and Mary Russell (Cloud) Wimmer.  He was reportedly buried in Salem Cemetery 
(not Moravian Cemetery) but I could not find him in the cemetery office records 
so did not find a headstone.
