 Note |
When a small boy he came to America with his parents, locating in Green County, Wisconsin. Five years later, four families, Gutzmers, Fennes, Wahls and Witts, came together from Wisconsin to Nebraska by ox team, arriving at Muddy Creek, Johnson County in the fall of 1860. Here the families remained for the winter. Later the men, walking to Saline County, located their farms on Swan Creek three miles northeast of where Western was later located. In the spring of 1861, they came to Saline County and took possession of their farms and homesteaded them. The families lived in their covered wagons until the first log house on the G. Wahl farm was finished, then the Wahl and Witt families lived in the one house while the Witt house was being built. The family lived on a farm near Western until 1900, when they moved to the new home in town. Mr. Witt, in his boyhood, joined the South Fork Methodist Episcopal church (German) and was always a faithful member and attendant. He became ill on Sunday morning, July 13, and passed away the following day at age 88 year, five months and five days. In the absence of the local pastor, a relative of the family, Rev. J. D. Hammel of Alvo, Nebraska, conducted the services which were held at the Methodist Church in Western on July 17 at 2:30 p.m. The pastor, in his personal remarks of appreciation of William Witt, known to everyone as either ' 'Billie Witt' ' or ' 'Grandpa' ' paid tribute to the early pioneers. The Witts were one of the first to settle in Saline County. Mr. Witt stood in a class by himself -- clean cut in his appearance and speech, he was a man of few words and when he spoke his words were mellowed with kindness, his smile attracted attention where he appeared. He loved the Church and was a regular attendant. His example was worthy of imitation in an age when men seemingly despise the church. Miss LaFaune Harrold, accompanied by Mrs. Jesse Zabel, sang the songs ' 'One Sweetly Solemn Tho't,' ' ' 'Face to Face,' ' and ' 'Jesus Lover of My Soul.' ' Pallbearers were Lawrence Matzke, Jess Gadow, Jess Zabel, Ferdinand Zabel, Herman Zabel and Frank Witt. |
