HENRY NIGGEMANN, PIONEER RESIDENT, IS BURIED MONDAY "Funeral services were held at 9:
30 a.m. Monday from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church for Henry Niggemann, 77, member of a pioneer family of the community. Mr. Niggemann had been taken to the hospital about a week before his death, when he sustained a stroke. The Rev. Bernard Niggemann of Glenwood City, a son, conducted the service, assisted by M.S.G.R. Alphonse Kress, Superior, a nephew, and the Rev. Christian J. Staab. Burial was in St. Ann's Cemetery in the Town of Greenwood. The pallbearers were Norbert and Clarence Schreiner, Joseph A. Kauer, Oliver Lamberty, George Zondlo and Frank Zondlo, all fellow members of the Catholic Order of Foresters. Mr. Niggemann was born in Botchem, Germany, on July 13, 1876, the son of Joseph and Mary Wiemers Niggemann and came to this country with his family at the age of 5 years. The family lived in Pittsburgh and moved to Rib Lake three years later to homestead the property which it still occupies south and west of the village. They grubbed out a farm from swamps and woods, without the benefit of the modern farm machinery of today. The Niggemann farm was a showplace operation, stretching across the northern half of Section 32, Town 33 North, Range 2 East from STH 102 north to Black Lake. Following Henry's death, the farm was operated for many years by Regis and Donaldean Niggemann.
He also was a logger in his younger days, having cleared most of the timber land from the homestead west to Highway 13 and approximately a mile to the north. Mr. Niggemann was married to Mrs. Mary Behrendt at the Catholic Church in the Town of Greenwood on June 3, 1902. He was a longtime member of the Catholic Church in the village and active in the Holy Name Society and local lodge of the Catholic Order of Foresters, of which he was a charter member. He sang in the Greenwood Catholic Church choir for 18 years before he became a member of the Rib Lake parish. Surviving are the widow, two daughters, Valeria, Mrs. Robert Marek, Milwaukee; and Agatha, Mrs. Lawrence Zirngible, Eau Claire; 8 sons, Henry, Arthur, Leonard and Anthony, all of Milwaukee; Fr. Bernard, Glenwood City; George, Chelsea; Regis, who operates the home farm; and William, Rib Lake; two brothers, Fred, Rib Lake; and Joseph, Milwaukee; a sister, Mrs. Joseph Kress, Medford; and 38 grandchildren."
