ELIAS WISLER

  Mahlon Wisler of Salisbury received news of the death of his half-brother, 
Elias Wisler, a resident of Nebraska for many years.  He was born in Meyersdale, 
July 14, 1864, and when a young man located in Thayer County, Nebraska.  There 
he met and later married Miss Emma Schimpf, whom he married on Thanksgiving Day, 
1889.  They were the parents of four daughters and three sons, who survive, as 
do also one sister, Mrs. James Shilling of Lincoln, Neb., several half-brothers 
and a sister in Somerset County, Pa., 17 grandchildren and two great-
grandchildren.
  Mrs. Wisler died Nov. 25, 1935, at Oxford, Neb., where they had been living 
since 1906.  After her death, Mr. Wisler made his home with his children; but a 
little more than four years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke and spent 7 1/2 
months in the Oxford Hospital.  He never recovered fully, and during the last 
two years lived at a convalescent home in Holdredge, Neb., where he died 
suddenly, Aug. 25, 1943.  He was a patient sufferer, and an honored and 
respected citizen.
