Louis A. Wegener
Louis August Wegener, well known pioneer citizen, passed away at his home, 1403 West Broadway, at 4 a.m. Monday morning, following a heart attack. He had attended church at Drummond Sunday evening, apparently in good health and felt the attack only a short time before death came.
In his passing the county lost an outstanding citizen and one who strove to serve his fellow men.
In early childhood, while learning reading, writing and arithmetic, he was taught the laws of God and man. Never did he forget that teaching and he always maintained a tolerance for the opinions of others. His daily life was a sermon of love.
Those who were fortunate to know him have rich memories of a friend who at all times expressed love, wisdom, understanding and faith in all humanity. His was a friendship equal to any demand.
Louis August Wegener was born at Bay, Missouri, Feb. 2, 1880 and passed away Monday, Oct. 30, 1939. His childhood and young manhood were spent in that vicinity. In 1911 he was married to Elizabeth Witte and they moved to Oklahoma buying a farm southwest of Drummond where they resided for six years. In 1917 he assumed management of the farmers elevator at Drummond and for 20 years was active in town, church and community affairs.
For many years he served as mayor of the town and for 20 years was superintendent of the Salem Evangelical church. No one was better posted on local and national affairs and while conservative his decisions were always fair. He was an active worker in theRepublican party.
Mr. Wegener was a conference member of the Evangelical church of Kansas Conference. He was treasurer of the Union Equity Farmers Elevator at Drummond at the time of his death.
Surviving are his wife, two brothers, August Wegener and Henry Wegener of Napoleon, Mo., and five sisters, Mrs. John Erfman of Bay, Mo.; Mrs. Lizzie Seba and Mrs. John Brown of Drummond, Mrs. Henry Erfman of Bay, Mo., and Miss Anna Wegener of Drummond.
There will be a short service in the Wegener home at 2 o'clock this afternoon. This will be followed by services in the Congregational church at Drummond. Burial will be in Del Norte cemetery.
