BERNARD J. WETZEL cemetery #89A Prof. Wetzel, Prominent Early Teacher, Claimed Death Takes Popular Former Resident on Coast at 89 One of the most remarkable men to leave his colorful, individually characteristic mark on two generations of Two Rivers people died Thursday in Helena, Calif. He was B.J. Wetzel, 89, distinguished scholar, musician and gentleman of the old school who directed the education of hundreds of pupils of St. John's Lutheran parochial school here for some 33 years. He was the impeccable, polished educator who, as principal and teacher at the school here, turned out some of the finest musicians in the state. Funeral services for Mr. Wetzel will be held at St. John's Lutheran church here at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, the Rev. W.G. Haase officiating. Interment will be in the family plot at Pioneers' Rest cemetery. The body will arrive sometime on Sunday from the west and will be removed to the Klein and Stangel, Inc., funeral home. There are many mothers, fathers and grandparents here who, though their memories of other things during the three decades that Prof. Wetzel was active here have dimmed considerably, still retain a clear, ringing picture of that dapper, dignified gentleman...his cane, his aluminum cigar container, and his sharp, German expletives in the classroom. Always Warm Spot A hard, driving taskmaster in the classroom, he was nevertheless remarkably beloved by his students, their parents and his many friends. Many are the grandfathers today who can still smile at the memory of the punishment administered by "B.J." for some infraction of the rules of the school. But they still hold a warm spot in their hearts for the old professor. Born in Ohio May 2, 1860, Bernard J. Wetzel attended Northwestern theological school and seminary until he was 24. He came here soon after leaving the seminary and became a teacher at St. John's school here and soon rose to the position of principal. While here, he not only taught school but was also organist, choir director and music teacher. Accompanied both as violinist and pianist, he turned out musicians whose thorough knowledge of fundamentals and true musician- ship never failed to impress directors and conductors wherever they traveled. Had Many Hobbies Always alert to the things that were happening not only in this city but in the world as well, he was always highly regarded by his colleagues and everyone who knew him even slightly. He was an active man, having many hobbies...among them the hunting of clams from the West Twin river near Shoto from which he took tiny pearls. In time, he managed to collect a great number of them. The professor never sold a pearl, those who still remember him say, but merely sought them for his collection. Always well-dressed, he was a dapper figure when he walked the streets in those years before and after the turn of the century. A source of pride for him was the special, aluminum cigar case...a gift of the late Joseph Koenig...in which he kept five cigars. It was always with a flourish that he would reach for the case in his vest pocket, remove a cigar slowly, replace the cover and carefully slip the case back into his vest pocket. Fisherman, Hunter Professor Wetzel was quite a sportsman, also. He loved to fish and hunt small game in this area and for a long time he owned a motorboat that he used to cruise down the city's two rivers on many occasions. He left here after the first world war and moved to Milwaukee. There, while operating a small business for about four years he assisted with teaching chores at the Jerusalem school on Milwaukee's Holton street. He then received a call from the Christ school on the southside and became a full time teacher, the church organist and choir director. In a short time he was named principal of the school and, before he retired six years later, built the school into one of the leading educational institutions in Milwaukee Moved to Coast Upon his retirement he moved to Cedarburg where he remained until about nine years ago when, in company with his wife, the former Theresa Ollendorf, whom he married here more than 60 years ago, he went to California. The couple resided with a daughter, Mrs. Aletha Lanner, in Napa, Calif., until Mrs. Wetzel died in July, 1943, after which Mr. Wetzel moved to Helena, Calif., where he died this week. His survivors include two sons Hugo, construction engineer at the Plankinton Arcade building in Milwaukee, and Arthur; one daughter, Mrs. Lanner and five grandchildren.
