When a young man he came to this country and settled at Sheboygan, Wis.,

The family moved to this county in 1880 and settled on
the home farm west of this city, where the children were reared and lived until
leaving home. Mr. Wehrman came to
Greenwood in 1909 when his wife passed away, and has since made his home with
his daughter, Mrs. Val Volk. He had

for many years. Funeral services
