Obituary of Rev. Henry Wetzel. -- At his residence, near Calvary, about two miles west of Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia, March 3, 1890 after a complicated illness of three or four months duration, Rev. Henry Wetzel departed this life; aged 74 years, 2 months, and 20 days. His funeral services took place from Mt. Calvary Church, March 5, at 10 A. M., Rev. P. C. Wike officiating. His remains were then conveyed to Zion's Church, a distance of six miles, and laid to rest by the side of his consort who preceded him to eternity. He was born in Southwest Virginia, near the Tennessee line, of Christian parents, who brought him up in the nurture and admonition of God. He prepared himself for the Gospel ministry, and was ordained to the office of pastor, by the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod, at its session held in Rader's Church, near Timberville, Rockingham County, Virginia, in the year 1841, and continued in the active services of the ministry until within a few months of his death, -a period of forty-nine years. During his ministry, he served congregations in Augusta, Rockingham, and Shenandoah Counties, Virginia, as well as congregations in West Virginia, doing much missionary work. He also served a congregation in Baltimore, Maryland for several years. He was a man of strong mind and indomitable energy, an able and impressive preacher, both in the German and English languages, sound in the faith, and ever ready to promulgate, maintain, defend, and perpetuate the true doctrines and usages of the church, in their purity and simplicity. He was an able, fearless, formidable debater, full of zeal and perseverance. By assiduous effort and close application to study and investigation, He attained an eminent degree in literature and theology, as well as in church history and dogmatics. He was one of the ablest ministers in the Valley of Virginia. He possessed an extensive library, and he really used it. He took great delight in reading the Confessions of the Church and Luther's Entire Works. He was quite familiar with them, frequently making translations from them. When the translation of the Christian Book of Concord, or the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, into the English language, was undertaken, He was selected to make a purely literal translation of the Epitome; so, too, when Luther's Church-Postil on the Epistles was translated for publication in the English, he was selected to prepare a similar translation of the third volume. He was a son of George and Margaret Wetzel. He entered into the estate of matrimony with Miss Mary C. Staubus daughter of Christian and Mary E. Staubus, of Augusta County, Virginia December 5, 1839, with whom he had seven children,-six daughters and one son. He leaves two daughters and several grand-children, with numerous other relatives and friends, to lament his departure. Having finished his course here, he has now gone to the spirit world, to enjoy, as we trust, that rest and those rewards prepared for the faithful.

  http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/1206688/person/866522608/media/2 Hints on George Wetzel: son of Capt. John Wetzel and father of Peter Wetzel The following document states that Peter Wetzel, Sr. from Wythe, VA was the grandson of Captain John Wetzel. The Biographical Record of DeWitt County, Illinois, Illustrated. ?Chicago: The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1901. Submitted by Judy Simpson GEORGE WETZELL. (Volume 1, Page 367) Among the well-known and respected citizens of Farmer City, Illinois, is George Wetzell, the efficient and enterprising editor and proprietor of the Farmer City Sun, having occupied this position since October 1, 1899, succeeding Devore & Lawrence. The birth of Mr. Wetzell occurred near Abingdon, Virginia, October 9, 1857, and he is a son of Jefferson Wetzel, who was born in Wythe county, Virginia, June 30, 1832. The Wetzel family traces its ancestry far back to one John Wetzel, who came to America either from Germany or Switzerland, and was the first settler in what is now the city of Wheeling, West Virginia. He was a farmer and was killed by the Indians, his son Lewis avenging his father's death by slaying the murderer. The children of John were as follows: Martin, Lewis, Jacob, John, George, Susan and Christina. George Wetzel, who was the great-great-grandfather of our subject, removed to Maryland and little is known of him in the family, except that he left a son, Peter. Peter Wetzel was a farmer in southwestern Virginia and operated a mill in Wythe county. His children were Michael, Elizabeth, George, John, Peter and Jessie. He died at the age of seventy years. George Wetzel, the grandfather of our subject, removed to DeWitt county, Illinois, in 1852, coming by team to Farmer City. By trade he was a cooper, and also engaged in farming in connection with work at his coopering. The grandmother of our subject was Margaret, a daughter of Michael Commany, who was born in Virginia. The family born to these grandparents included these children: Henry, Isaac, Solomon, Martin, Annie, Catherine, Rebecca, Margaret, Jefferson, Ambrose, George, David and Michael. During the war of 1812 Grandfather Wetzel started to join the army, but peace was declared before he reached the seat of war. In politics he was formerly a Whig, but later became a Republican, while the religious connection of the family was with the Lutheran church. Jefferson Wetzel, the father of our subject, was educated in the public schools and engaged in farming. In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, One Hundred and Seventh Illinois Drum Corps, and later organized a brass band. When a young man he learned the carpenter trade and followed that in connection with farming. His marriage was to Miss Catherine Christ, who was born in Virginia, and was a daughter of Daniel and Amanda (Minnick) Christ. The children of this marriage were as follows: William A., who married Ella Cummings, lives in Salt Lake City; David C. was a minister in the Christian church, but is now deceased, his death occurring in San Francisco; Benjamin F.; George W., of this sketch; Anna Belle, married C. F. Holmes, of Piatt county; Laura M. married A. G. Albright; Vinnie R. married Harry R. Bates, of Seattle, Washington; Nettie F. is deceased; Della Maud is also deceased; and Pearl married L. S. Webb. Mr. Wetzell has been senior vice-commander of the G. A. R. post and has filled with efficiency several political offices, notably that of tax collector. Formerly he was a Whig, but is now an ardent and active Republican, and has done some excellent reportorial work on the Bloomington, Illinois, newspapers. For many years he has been an elder in the Christian church, and has been long connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, in which he has held high office. It was in 1859 that George Wetzell, our subject, accompanied his parents to Farmer City and as early as his fourteenth year began a career which has been one of considerable prominence. Under John S. Harper, who was one of the earliest publishers in this city, he served an apprenticeship, graduating into a first-class printer, skilled not only in the mechanical part of the business, but comprehending with ability and intelligence to other branches of the newspaper work. In 1881 he went to Bloomington and there became the foreman of the Bloomington Daily Leader, remaining for a period of four years, going from there to Greenview, Manard county, to establish the Greenview Mail, which for four years was one of the brightest little journals of that part of the county. Returning to Bloomington he became associated with the Bloomington Pantagraph and remained in that city for eleven years, leaving that well-known journal to purchase his present newspaper in this city. Fraternally Mr. Wetzell is connected with the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of America. Politically he is independent and at the present time he is serving as a member of the Farmer City school board. He is recognized as a man of ability and has increased the patronage of his paper in a remarkable degree since taking charge. Liberal-minded and careful, it has been the aim of Mr. Wetzell to furnish the news to the residents of Farmer City in agreeable form, to mold public sentiment in the direction of progress and improvement, to advance the interests of worthy enterprises in their midst and to give them a paper worthy of their support. annebroaddus359 added this on 30 Jul 2010 1000pastlives originally submitted this to Nauth-Kearins on 28 May 2010 http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/1206688/person/866522608?ssrc=&ftm=1 watkins Family Tree Owner: annebroaddus359

Peter Weitzell and Mary Pauff were married July 25, 1792 by minister John McCue at Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church in Augusta County, Virginia. In 1792-95 they are involved with the Trinity Lutheran Evangelical Church in Carroll County (now Frederick county), Maryland. Peter Wetzel bought land in Wythe county, Virginia on April 29, 1802. He bought 108 acres from Jesse Evans for 220 pounds. The land was located on Beaver Creek which made up one boundry. He built the first water powered flour mill in western Wythe county. Later he bought 180 acres from Peter Yonts for 1,340 dollars. The land was located on Cove Creek which is in the northeast corner of Wythe county. On June 5, 1810 Peter bought 19 acres and 20 poles (a square pole is a unit of measure which equals 5½ x 5½ yards or 30.5 sq yds ) from George and Elizabeth Bough for 130 dollars. This land was on the south fork of Mud Creek. On March 11, 1823 Peter bought 8 1/4 acres for 824 dollars from George Wampler. This land was on the waters of the south fork of Reed Creek. At St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Mount Airy, Wythe County, Peter and Elizabeth Wetzel were the sponsors of the baptism of David Kinder. David was born June 22, 1812 and baptized October 11, 1812. The parents were Martin and Eva Kinder. On May 16, 1813 John King, born February 7, 1813, was baptized. Peter and Elizabeth Wetzel were the sponsors and John and Mary King were the parents. Peter ran a mill in Wythe County, Virginia, "Wetzel's Mill". He committed suicide in the mill by shooting himself on November 27, 1837. I'm not sure where Peter is buried. He was active at St. John's Lutheran and St. Paul's Lutheran so he may be buried in one of those church cemeteries or his grave may be covered by Rural Retreat Lake. Joe Bailey & Irene Wetzel had Peter's birth place as Albany County, New York. swmoltzadded this on 8 Mar 2010 d_rubartsoriginally submitted this to Rubarts Family Tree on 10 Jul 2008 ___________________________________ Notes on Peter Wetzel http://74.125.113.132/search?q=cache:xk1b8tS5pe0J:freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry .com/~cranefamily/whetsell.html+%22Peter+Wetzel%22+OR+%22Peter+*+Wetzel%22+OR+%22Wetzel,+Peter%22+sr .&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us According to Mary Kegley,(see source notes below), Peter Sr. was a miller in Wythe County, VA.
