Biographical Information

Fred was a half brother to my Grandfather Otto H. Wehrmann. Fred's mother was Korline Kuester, first wife of Frederick. Grandfather's mother was Mary Wohhaupt.

Fred's family lived in Beaver Twp., Clark Co., Wisconsin.  The three son's of Fred, Clarence, Arthur and Ed have all passed. The family of Art's that I'am aware of are: son, Art Jr., Jeanette Wehrmann Suda and Barbara Wehrmann Noeldner. I'm not sure about Art's children, where living, both girls.
