NICHOLAS WOLLMER cemetery #44 Manitowoc Pilot, September 2,1864, Pg 1, Col 1: Funeral of Lieut. Wollmer. “The remains of the late Lieut. Wollmer, who was wounded recently before Atlanta, and subsequently died, reached here Tuesday morning on the Comet. We have not been informed as to the particulars of his death, but learn that it was quite sudden and entirely unexpected to his family and friends. The funeral took place from the residence of the deceased at four o'clock of the same day, and was attended by an immense concourse of people. The veterans of the 5th and 9th regiments now in town, commanded by Capt. Goodwin, constituted the escort, and with their arms revered, and their slow, solemn tread, keeping time to the mournful music of the fife and drum, they gave to the departed soldier a military burial. Among the officers who attended the last rites were Gen. Salomon, Lt. Col. Olmsted, Major Baetz, Captains Rankin, and Dumke, Lieuts. Murphy, Wimpf and Markham, besides nearly all of our prominent citizens. The German Singing Society was also in attendance and sung over the last resting place of their friend's remains. The late Mr. Wollmer was one of the earliest settlers of Manitowoc, and greatly contributed by his energy and good business qualities to the prosperity of the place. Until within the past three years he was proprietor and manager of a banking-house here; and his well known liberality and kindness to those with whom he had to deal was proverbial. Lieut Wollmer belonged to the 26th regiment Wisconsin volunteers. We have been requested to return thanks in the name of his wife and relatives to the veteran soldiers who took part in the procession, to the Sangerbund, and to the many kind friends who were with them to sustain and comfort in the hour of their deep affliction.” ******** Manitowoc Pilot, November 11, 1864: Headq'rs 26th Regt. Wis. Vol. Chattahoochie River, Ga. Oct 12. Mrs. Nicholas Wollmer:--Madam-- I have the honor herewith to transmit to you the sum of $123.00 with the request that you accept the same as a gift from the few remaining officers of this regiment, to whom your deceased husband, their brother officer, Lt. Wollmer, has ever been a true friend, and a brave and respected comrade. The Regiment mourns the loss of a good man, and a gallant and efficient officer. Tendering to you our sincere condolence, I have the honor, Madam to be Your obedient servant. Francis Lackner Major 26th Regt. Wis. Vols. ********* Manitowoc Pilot, November 25, 1864, Pg 1, Col 6: Maj. Francis Lackner, 26th Regt. Wis. Vol. Dear Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 12th of October, with draft for $123.00, presented by the officers of your gallant regiment. I accept the gift, not only because my deeply lamented husband, who since December 1863 did not receive any pay from the government, except a small amount which he drew, after he was wounded and a few days before his death, left me and his three little children in need and want; but I accepted it particularly with warm and hearty comrades, who served with him for two years, who fought by his side in so many battles for our dear bleeding country; for the reason that it comes from the brave men who amid the roar of the cannon, in the throng of the battle and the groans of the wounded and dying, have yet preserved a feeling heart for a poor widow and orphans, whom they are not acquainted with, but know that they exist, and that Lt. Wollmer was their supporter and protector. Gentlemen, receive my warm thanks, and may the God of Battles preserve you, and permit you, happier than my poor husband was to come home again to your dear wives and children; permit you to be received with that love you deserve, and may you enjoy for long, long time, the blessings of liberty and peace of our beloved country, which when it calls out her heroes among the first will be the officers of the 26th Regiment. Tendering to you again my sincere thanks I have the honor gentlemen to be Yours respectfully, Mrs. NICHOLAS WOLLMER
