HE GOT THE FIRST.
William Wieboldt Takes Out License to Wed Miss Libbie LeClair.
Love laughs at everything but the newspaper ferret. 
Willie Wieboldt, the genial assistant at Judge Craite's 
Justice shop never considered the newspaper men when he 
applied to clerk Maresh for a license to wed. For some 
time Willie has been preparing for the celbration of a 
happy event, and was satisfied, in his own mind that no 
one was next to his secret. It has been an open book to 
the HERALD man for weeks past and with the exception of 
the date, nothing was missing. The groom-to-be has been 
putting in all of his spare moments making purchases and 
the fact that he made frequent calls at a certain Marshall 
street residence, gave rise to the belief that he 
contemplated matrimony.
Nothing definite could be learned until Friday, when Mr. 
Weiboldt applied to clerk Maresh for a license to wed Miss 
Libbie LeClaire. It was the first license issued under the 
True law and Willie departed happy in the consciousness of 
having been able to "get one on his friends." A few minutes 
after his departure the HERALD man was "there" and but for 
the missing date, the laugh would have been on the other 
side. The ceremony will be solemnized at the home of the 
bride's mother on Marshall street Wednesday evening and 
the couple will take up their abode at the home already 
prepared by the groom. Both young people are well and 
favorable known and have innumberable friends who will 
extend well wishes.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, May 8, 1899
*******
JOYS OF LIFE.
William Wieboldt Joins the Ranks of the Benedicts.
The marriage of Mr. William Wieboldt to Miss Elizabeth LeClaire 
was soleminized at the home of the bride's mother on Marshall 
street at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rev. Father Peil 
officiated and only near relatives of the contracting parties 
were present. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding breakfast 
was served and a celebration in honor the happy event followed.
Both young people are well known and have countless friends who 
will wish them all the joy that can be crowded into two lives. 
The groom is the assistant at Judge Craite's office and is a 
young man of exemplary habits, possessing all the attributes 
necessary for a good husband. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. 
Mary StClair (sic). The family formerly resided at Two Rivers 
and moved to this city some time ago. She is an accomplished 
young lady, in every way fitted to make life happy to the man 
of her choice.
The HERALD wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Wieboldt all the joys of 
life and a happy and prosperous journey.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, May 11, 1899 P. 1
*****
Mr. Wm. H. Wieboldt and Miss Libbie LeClaire, both of this city were married 
yesterday, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. Peil. Mr. Weiboldt is clerk 
of Municipal court and a young man of sterling qualities. His bride was formerly a 
resident of Two Rivers. They are the first couple to whom a marriage license was

OTTO O. WIEGAND
During thirty years of residence in Shawano county, Mr. Wiegand has had 
a very busy career, has been identified with various useful activities in 
the city, and in recent years his time and services have been required in 
the public interests. He was a member of the Legislature, session of 1891 
and 1892. He is now the efficient county clerk of Shawano county, in his 
second term, having been elected on the Republican ticket, and taking 
office in January, 1911. He was reelected in November, 1912. Prior to that 
he acted as deputy county clerk nine months during 1910, and before that 
served as supervisor of assessments of Shawano county. He was first 
appointed to that office by the tax commission in August, 1905, and was 
formally elected by the county board of supervisors in 1907. Mr. Wiegand 
has had his home in the city of Shawano since 1888, and in the county 
since 1884. His native place was Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where be was born 
on a farm July 9, 1860, a son of Carl and Fredericka (Hamann) Wiegand, 
both natives of Germany. The father, a substantial farmer who died in 1871, 
came to America during the decades of the forties and located in Wisconsin 
in 1848, the year in which the territory became a state. His home was in 
Manitowoc county. The mother preceded her husband to Manitowoc county by 
a few months. She had married in Germany Mr. Mortz Mavis, who died soon 
after they settled in Wisconsin, and she then married Mr. Wiegand. Her 
death occurred in 1895. Otto O. Wiegand spent his boyhood on the home farm 
in Manitowoc county, getting his education in the country schools, and also 
attending the Oslikosh Normal. His educational equipment fitted him for 
work as a teacher, and he was thus engaged for three years in Manitowoc 
county and one year in Shawano county. During his residence in Manitowoc 
county, he acquired an interest in a cheese factory and in 1884 moved to 
Shawano county to establish a cheese factory in the town of Washington. 
That venture did not prove a success, and was abandoned after two seasons. 
For two seasons following Mr. Wiegand conducted a sawmill and taught school 
one winter. Moving into the city of Shawano he bought an interest in the 
Shawano County Advocate, one of the well known local newspapers, and was 
identified with its management and editorial control for ten years. Selling 
out he went into the telephone business, establishing an independent line in 
Shawano county. He was manager of the Independent Company for two years, at 
the end of which time he sold out and resumed the management of the Advocate 
for Mr. M.J. Wallrich. A year later he went into the canning business, and 
was connected with that work three years until his appointment as supervisor 
of assessments diverted him from private business to public affairs.
Mr Wiegand has been twice married. In 1886 he married Miss Anna Schultz of 
the town of Two Rivers in Manitowoc county. She died in 1896 leaving two 
children, Edna and Oscar. In 1905 Mr. Wiegand was united in marriage with 
Alberta Rueckert of the town of Washington, Shawano county. Their four 
children are: Ashley, Grace, Alberta, and Pearl. Fraternally Mr. Wiegand is 
affiliated with the Knights of Pythias.

Wigand Dies at 104 Years (photo)
MANITOWOC-A former rural Manitowoc resident, who observed his 104th 
birthday in January, died Saturday at Holy Family Hospital here.
Peter Wigand, a Russian-born German immigrant, was reportedly one of 
the oldest residents of Manitowoc County.
Mr. Wigand was born in 1867 at Rhinewald, Russia and emigrated to the 
United States in 1895. He worked in a furniture factory at Sheboygan 
until he began farming in the Newton area. After 55 years of marriage, 
Mrs. Wigand, the former Lydia Bierhaus, died in 1952. Wigand then made 
his home periodically with his surviving children, spending most of 
the time with a son, Carl, of Rt. 3, Manitowoc. He had been blind the 
past 11 years.
He observed his 104th birthday Jan. 7 at Holy Family Hospital, where 
he had been a resident since November.
Survivors include two sons, four daughters, 16 grandchildren and 27 
great grandchildren. A son and a daughter preceded him in death.
Funeral services will be Tuesday.

WILL BRING BRIDE ON RETURN HOME
Henry Wilke Weds While on Visit to Melrose, Minn., This Week
HIS PLAN WAS A SECRET
Bride, Miss Minnie Newmann, is Former Two Rivers Girl; Couple at Home in 
that city After September 5
Supposed to be at St. Paul, Minn., for a visit,, Henry Wilke Jr. of Two 
Rivers, for years, one of the leading educators of Manitowoc county and 
one of the best known young men of this section was married at Melrose, 
that state on Wednesday, August 15, news of the event having reached 
friends in announcement cards sent out by Mr. and Mrs. john Neumann, of 
Melrose, whose daughter, Miss Minnie Newmann is the bride. Mr. and Mrs. 
Wilke will be at home at Two Rivers after September 5.
Marriage of Mr. Wilke and Mrs. Newman is the outgrowth of a friendship 
of years when the two were associates at school at Two Rivers, where the 
family of the bride formerly resided, removing to Minnesota only a few 
years ago. The friendship of the young people has been continued through 
correspondence and plans for the marriage were made in letters. Mr. 
Wilke left Two Rivers several days ago and it was thought that he had 
accompanied the excursion to St. Paul to attend the G.A.R. encampment. 
The announcement of his marriage came as a complete surprise to friends. 
The marriage celebrated at Melrose was a quiet function and followed by 
the usual reception to friends. Mr. and Mrs. Wilke will visit several 
points enroute to their future home at Two Rivers and will reach here 
next week. Though not a resident of the county for several years, Miss 
Newmann is well remembered at Two Rivers as a charming girl endowed with 
the qualities which will make her an ideal wife. She will receive a 
cordial welcome at Two Rivers.
For ten years, Mr. Wilke, who is a son of Henry Wilke, one of the 
prominent farmers of the county, has been a successful teacher in 
schools of the county and had attained prominence in his line of work. 
He was in charge of several district schools and last year was at Two 
Rivers and a month ago was elected to a position as assistant principal 
at the Fifth Ward School in this city for the year opening in September. 
Offered a position as assistant cashier in the Bank of Two Rivers, Mr. 
Wilke resigned the appointment in the fifth Ward, this city and is to 
enter upon his duties at the banking institution September 1.  He has 
been active in all educational work in the county and assisted County 
Superintendent Christiansen in conducting institutes and examinations 
during his term of office. His retirement from the education field of 
the county is regretted.

for the marriage and the services as official knot-tyer being furnished by Judge John 
Chlupek who held the losing end of the bet. An agreement was entered into by 
Mr. Williams and Judge Chloupek that in event of losing the latter was to grand a

Plans for the wedding were quietly arranged and the event was consummated with 
only a few intimate friends aware of it, the announcement coming as a general surprise. 
Following the ceremony a supper was served. Mr. Williams is employed as an express 
messenger for the American Express Co., on the run between this city and Two Rivers 
and is well known. He is an industrious young man who has many friends to wish him joy 
of his new happiness. The bride is an estimable young lady. The couple will make their

RECALL WEDDING DAY OF A HALF CENTURY AGO
Jacob Williams Home Has Golden Jubilee Celebration
Sunday was a happy day in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. "Jake" Williams, pioneer 
settlers of Manitowoc County, the day being the golden jubilee of their 
wedding day and it was made memorable by the outpouring golden opinion of 
friends who thronged the home to surprise the estimable couple, at their 
residence 915 N. Tenth street.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams had planned no celebration. They had proposed to spend 
the day at Rapids with friends in the little settlement which years ago had 
been their home, but the ladies of the W.R.C. arranged the surprise visit 
that was followed by a celebration that was most happy. Mr. and Mrs. Williams 
received their guests hospitably though all but overcome by the unexpected 
invasion. Advance guards-and Mr. Williams being a war veteran knew what they 
were-brought supplies for a feast that was later spread and decorated the 
home in gay colors. From the flag staff in the yard Old Glory was flung to 
the breeze.
OLDEST RESIDENTS OF CO.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams are believed to be the oldest couple in Manitowoc county 
in point of residence here. The former, who is 80 years of age, came here with 
his parents as a lad of five while Mrs. Williams, in her seventy-fifth year, 
having been a resident for 72 years. The marriage took place at the home of a 
sister of Mrs. Williams on No. Fourth street Jan. 9, 1871, the ceremony having 
been performed by Rev. C.B. Stevens of the Stevens Memorial church.
OLD COMRADES ATTEND
Among guests at the celebration yesterday were a number of Mr. Williams' comrades 
in arms in the civil war, the last remnant of the boys in blue here and the 
occasion afforded a reunion that was fraught with much interest in recollections 
of the days back in 61-65. Mr. Williams was one of the first volunteers from 
Manitowoc county and served with distinction. One incident of his service was 
recalled by H.G. Kress in an address of felicitation to the couple yesterday, 
which Mr. Kress said in these days would have given Mr. Williams a medal of 
honor.
SAVED COMRADE AT VICKSBURG
The incident referred to happened at the second attack on Vicksburg. Mr. Williams 
and William Stone, another Manitowoc man, had been fighting for days, side by 
side, undergoing privatations, suffering from lack of food and water, exhausted 
by the long vigil. Stone was shot through the leg, the wound being one that 
unless attended to would cause death. Mr. Willims, realizing the condition of his 
comrade set out carry him back to the hospital, a distance of three miles. 
Through the hail of bullets and shells, over wet roads, 
Continued on Page 4
through swamps, he carried and dragged his wounded pal to the hospital where Mr. 
Stone had to undergo amputation of his leg. Mr. Stone was for years keeper of the 
light house here and was later stationed at Two Rivers. He told the story of the 
courage and heroism to friends but Mr. Williams has always decried publicity and 
ojected yesterday to recounting of the incident which he delcares was nothing, 
but in any other country Mr. Williams would today be decorated with medals to 
fill a pocket.
EARLY DAY LOG DRIVER
Mr. Williams is one of the few surviving early day log drivers of the county, 
having followed that line of occupation for years, his stories of the lumbering 
industry of pioneer days being most interesting. Later Mr. Williams engaged in 
farming and retired twelve years ago when with his wife he removed to the city 
to make their home and they have since lived here, enjoying the fruits of their 
early toil. The couple are without children.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams are beloved by friends for their kindly character and admired 
for the old fashioned loyalty which has marked the years of their comradeship, a 
compaionship glorified by happiness which the ceremony of fifty years ago initiated 
and which has propered and lived to this day.
The celebration yesterday was one that will live in the memory of those privileged 
to attend.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
At the celebration yesterday Mrs. Emma L. Jaeger of the W.R.C. read an orginal 
poem dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Williams, as follows:
Fifty years ago on a cold January day
Two hands clasped to go one way,
Two fond hearts loving and true
Wintered the winters and summers right through.
Two loyal minds planning as one
Laid the foundation of the home just begun,
Two pair of hands unafraid of toil
Soon gathered up the Victor's Spoil.
Two characters such as Jake and Jean
They are few and far between;
Always aiding those in need
With a kindly word or deed.
Two characters living as they,
Soon find friends all along the way;
Holding them sincere and true
To every task whether old or new.
And, as such, we are here to-day,
To wish you joy and bid you stay;
Making bright the one big spot
You have won in all our hearts.
*****
GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr. and Mrs. Jake Williams celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Sunday. 
They are among Manitowoc's oldest living settlers. Mr. Williams who is 80 years 
of age came to Manitowoc in 1845 when the region here about had been open for 
entry only 10 years. Mrs. Williams, who is 75 came here three years later. They 
were married in this city, January 9, 1871
The Women's Relief Corps surprised the couple and all Mr. William's old comrades 
of the 60's who were able to be present joined in the jubilee. Mr. Williams served 
during almost the entire civil war and was present in many engagements. The couple 
have in a long and useful live, earned the respect of their community and every 
acquaintance wishes them many years of future happiness together.
