Joseph H. Melzer, 86, of rural Allenton (Town of Wayne), died Monday, Aug. 21, 1989, at St. Agnes Hospital.
He was born Aug. 23, 1902, in the Town of Wayne, a son of Frank and Mary Schweitzer Melzer. On Nov. 15, 1927, he married Elizabeth Batzler at St. Kilian Catholic Church, St. Kilian.
Mr. Melzer was a member of St. Kilian Catholic Church and the church's Holy Name Society.
Survivors include two sons, Robert and his wife Janet, and Joseph and his wife Theresa, both of the Town of Wayne; eight grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and one sister, Sophie Weninger of Lomira. His wife preceded him in death on Feb. 6, 1962.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. at Miller Funeral Home, Kewaskum, and at 10:30 a.m. at St. Kilian. The Rev. Victor Kemmer will officiate. Burial will follow in the parish cemetery.
Friends may call today from 4 to 9 p.m. at the funeral home where a parish vigil will be held at 8 p.m."
This was a newspaper clipping that was handed down to me by my mother-in-law, Dolores "Lori" Cayemberg nee Kuehl. There is no date on the clipping, although I would imagine it was near the date of Joseph's death in 1989. There is no mention of which paper this clipping came from but the family is from Wisconsin and has been for generations. Melzer is a family name on Lori's side, but I still need to figure out where Joseph belongs!
