Word has been received of the death of Julius H. Wiersig of Phoenix, Arizona, on August 14, of cancer of the bladder, at the age of 83 years, having been born in Adell, Wis., on September 30, 1873.

He was married on June 19, 1902, to Louise Haberkorn. They lived successfully in Alva, Okla., Waltham, Minn., and Minneapolis, Minn.

In 1917, they moved onto a farm east of Abbotsford where they resided for 20 years and they moved to Wausau where they made their home until 1950. His father came from Schleswig, Germany, at the age of eight years. His grand father was a shoemaker there.
