    Biography:
    JOHN D. WILHARMS, deceased. The late John D. Wilharms was a prominent and highly respected farmer of Outagamie county, and an old resident of Grand Chute township. He built up for himself a lasting reputation as a man possessing most excellent personal traits of character, was upright and honorable in his business transactions and imbued with that generous public spirit that was always ready to assist in whatever was calculated to promote the welfare of his county and community.
    Mr. Wilharms was born April 17, 1847, at Cedarsburg, Wisconsin, a son of Christopher and Charlotte Wilharms, who are natives of Germany, where the father was born in 1809 and the mother in 1813. They came direct to Cedarsburg on coming to the United States in 1847, and Mr. Wilharms was engaged in weaving there until 1852, in which year he went to Manitowoc county and settled on a farm, and continued to carry on operations there until the declining years of his life, when he moved to the city of Manitowoc and there his death occurred at the age of ninety-two years, his wife being eighty-eight years old when she passed away the day following his death. Both were buried the same day. They were the parents of eight children, of whom John D. was the fifth.
    He attended school in Manitowoc county, and made his home with his parents, and in 1877 was married. For seven years after this event he resided on the home farm, but in 1884 he bought eighty acres of land in Grand Chute township, and here continued to reside until his death, September 12, 1900, at which time he owned 136 acres one-half mile from the city of Appleton. He carried on general farming, cattle breeding and dairying, and his widow has, continued these occupations since her husband's death and has added a twenty-four acre tract to the estate, adjoining the homestead, and now occupied by her son. Mr. Wilharms was a member of the Lutheran church, and in political matters he was a democrat, but never aspired to office.
    On May 23, 1877, Mr. Wilharms was married to Mary Kellner, who was born in Manitowoc county, Wisconsin, Kossuth township, June 21, 1856, daughter of Michael and Mary (Alt) Kellner, the former born in Austria, September 12, 1822,' and the latter in Germany, February 12, 1832. Mr. Kellner came to America with his parents, via Quebec, Canada, having worked at the latter place in a tannery, and on locating in Manitowoc county, he took up a claim and worked in a tannery, later building up a grocery business and a saw and shingle mill. Eventually he started a general store at what is now Kellnersville, became postmaster there and so continued to the time of his death, also serving as justice of the peace for a long period. He was a very well educated man, speaking three languages, German, Bohemian and English, and was well read and well versed in all topics of the day. His death occurred September 22, 1890, while his widow survives him and resides at the old homestead in Kellnersville.
    Mrs. Wilharms was the second in order of birth of her parents' nine children. She and Mr. Wilharms had the follow-. ing children: Lillian, born November 29, 1878, who married Andrew F. Petersen, proprietor of the township cheese factory, where they reside; William C., born September 3, 1881, who married Rosana Miller and lives in Grand Chute township, where he is engaged in farming; Clara, born May 24, 1884, who married Orville Babb, a conductor on the Interurban Line, residing at Appleton: Edith, born May 12, 1886, who married John Meidam, a carpenter of Appleton; Joseph C., born November 17, 1887; John William, born March 8, 1890 and Lorena Bertha, born August 21, 1893, all residing at home; Amanda, born December 19, 1895, who died September 12, 1903; and Irma Mariah, born July 12, 1898, who lives at home.

    John married Kellner, Mary 18 May 1877. Mary was born 21 Jun 1856, Kossuth Township, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, USA; died 20 Mar 1944, Appleton, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]

    Obituary:
    James John Stark, age 76, formerly of Appleton, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 20, 2014 at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida. Jim was born in Appleton on June 15, 1938 to the late John Joseph and Marcella Lorena (Meidam) Stark. Jim was a handful as a child for his mother and father - he was very strong, opinionated, and hard headed. He made an attempt in the United States Army as a "lifer" but his bad knees led him in another direction. As a young adult, Jim was a chef at many fine restaurants in Wisconsin. For Jim, eating was not just delicious, it was a hobby - and boy did it show. Later, he worked for Pascagoula Mississippi School Board for twenty-five years until his retirement.
    Jim loved to travel and scuba dive the West Indies and Bahamas with his family. In his older years, his mind wanted to live and play like he was still young, but his body grew too tired from living life to the fullest. Jim's family saw it was time and made him comfortable until God called him. His daughter told him not to be afraid, and he held on until his mother took his hand from hers. Jim remembered as a child swinging on a swing set with the sun on his back and a smile on his face. During his last journey, he jumped off his swing from its highest point towards the sun. God reached out and caught him, and took him home. Please don't feel sorrow that he is gone from Earth - instead, rejoice that he has gone home with his family and friends in Heaven.
    Jim is survived by his daughter, Shelly Stark Macon, Pensacola, FL; two sons: James Jon and Jeffrey Paul Stark; four grandchildren: Ashley Nicole Macon, Michelle Stark, Dusty Ann Stark, and Amy Jean Garcia; two great grandchildren: Connor Edward Leighton and Jimmy Garcia Jr.; his sister Katherine Elizabeth Ely, Columbus, GA; and three nephews: Donald, Douglas, and David Ely.
    Jim was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Peter R. Stark.
    A graveside service for Jim will take place at 1 pm on Monday, January 5, 2015, at Riverside Cemetery. Friends may visit from 12 noon on Monday at the Brettschneider-Trettin-Nickel Funeral Chapel until the cortege leaves for the cemetery.
