PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING LIFE-LONG RESIDENT IS CLAIMED BY DEATH Peter Paul Wegemer, Sr., of West Mill Street, a lifelong resident of this city, passed away at the local hospital this morning at 7:45 a.m., suffering from a complication of diseases. Mr. Wegemer had been ailing since the latter part of August but was not confined to bed until Friday of last week. Previous to this illness he had never known a day of sickness. He was admitted to the hospital on November 13th and little hope was held out for his recovery. All of the members of his family were at his bedside when the end came this morning. Mr. Wegemer was born on Theresia Road, February 16th, 1850, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wegemer, both deceased, and was nearing his 76th birthday. He entered the contracting business when he grew to manhood and was an active worker until a few months ago. In January 1873 he was married to Miss. Catherine Auman. Thirteen children were born to bless the union, four of whom have preceded their father to the grave. The deceased was an active member of St. Joseph’s Society and members of this organization will attend the funeral. Besides his widow, he is survived by five sons: Frank G., John F., Joseph G., Albert G., and Peter G., all of St. Marys; four daughters, Catherine, (Mrs. Phillip Finkler) Toledo, Ohio, Bertha, (Mrs. J. B. Creagh) Salamanca, Anna, (Mrs. E. A. Casperson) Buffalo and Mary, (Mrs. Fred Gerg) of town. Two brothers also survive, Frank and Casper, of Petoskey, Michigan. Twenty-nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive. Funeral services will be held from St. Marys Church Tuesday morning at nine o’clock. 21NOV1925 Historical Society of St. Marys & Benzinger Township [S294] Elk County Gazette, Wegemer, John (1898). John Wegemer, after an illness of two weeks, resulting from old age, departed this life, at his home, Chestnut Street, St. Marys, on May Day, 1898. He was born in Strachbach, Bavaria, Germany, on Saturday, Oct. 11, 1817, and came to St. Marys, July 24, 1845, and was married the same year at St. Marys Church by Rev. Fr. Kander, O.S.B., and his wife, who was born Oct. 11, 1818, still survives him. Four children are living Appelonia and Peter Paul, St. Marys; Casper and Frank X. who live in the state of Michigan. Mr. Wegemer was one of the original founders of the St. John's society, of which but three remain. He was also a member of the St. John's Widows Society.

Hout From: William J. Auman [willj@penn.com] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 11:14 pm To: matthew@matthewhout.com Subject: [SPAM] Hout Family Hi Matt, To answer your question about Mary, the interment record just says she was buried in St. Marys Catholic Cemetery, not if she is buried in lot 56. I found a few more tidbits for you in the birth records- St. Marys Catholic Church Birth records- Haud- Peter born Jan 22, 1865 bapt. Feb. 2, 1865 Parents- Chas Haud – Mary Wegemer Haut- Edward born May15, 1865 bapt. May 18, 1865 Parents- John Haut – Philomena Schreiber I also called my cousin Mary Wegemer Miller today to see if she had any info to connect your Mary Wegemer Hout to her great-grandfather- Johann Wegemer (1817-1898). Seems she may be a sister of Johann. I am meeting her at the Historical Society on Tuesday to review her notes and info to see if we can make a connection. The father of Johann whos name was also Johann Wegemer died in St. Marys on Apr. 27, 1857 at age 78. Do you know anything else about Mary, were she was born in Germany? When they came to the US? Also if you want Charles Hout’s Obit. From the St. Marys paper I can send it to you, just let me know. Well that’s about it for now. I will let you know if I find anything out. Bill
