fell him while he sojourned among
the mountain people.
A chance visit to Central WiScon-
sin convinced him that the greatest
agricultural development that might
be looked for in this country, devel-
opment that would be founded upon
merit and would continue to grow
with the years, would most likely &C.
cur in that section, as it was not only
advantageously located as regarded
markets, but the soil was wonder
fully fertile, land cheap and chances
for people of limited means unex-
celled anywhere he had ever been.
Viewing the matter in this light, he
located at Fenwood, this county,
where he remained for a couple of
years and then moved to Wausau,
coming here in the spring of 1906.
About year later he formed part
nership with E. A. Dunn, and since
then the firm of Dunn & Wehrley
have been occupying Offices in the
Seim block. In speaking of his part
ner, Mr.. Dunn paid a tribute to the
memory of deceased as one of the
most honorable and straightforward
men he had ever met, and during
their long and intimate relationship
there has never been word of dis
cord between them. By the business
men of Wausau generally Mr.. Wehr-
ley was held in the same high es-
TEEN.
Mr.. Wehrley was married in Chica-
go in 1895 to Emile Heidorn, by whom
he is survived, as we'll as by one son,
Oscar, who had but recently gradu-
ated from a conservatory of music in
Chicago, and who is at present home
on vacation. His family relations
have always been Of a particularly
happy nature, the only discord that
has ever crept across the threshold of
his home being occasioned by the

the terrible affection that has de-
scended upon this otherwise happy
family. Frugality, honesty, industry
were things Mr.. Wehrley held in ven-
Grafton. He had conscientiously en-
deavored by word and precept to in
still these into his sons, but Alfred
had got in with a tough gang and re-
fused to heed the parental authority,
and it was because of this that he
was estranged from the family and
required to make his home elsewhere.
Mr.. Wehrley hoped that few rough
knocks would make the boy more ap-
preciatiye Of the things that might
be his, and stood ready at any time
he showed penitence to give him
another chance, and he sincerely
hoped that the day would come when
Alfred would awaken to a proper real
ization of what might be expected of
him.
Mr.. Wehrley was member of the
Marathon Lodge, 145, Knights of
Pythias, and also of Forest Lodge,
No. 100, f. & A. M.
