  Kaukauna Times
  Joseph Wolfinger, Sr., 84, Dundas, died suddenly Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock while attending the 4-H club picnic at Sherwood. Born in the town of Wilson in Sheboygan county on January 7, 1856, Joseph Wolfinger came to Dundas in 1876 and opened a blacksmith shop. In 1878 he was married to Mary Lamers of Sheboygan and in 1929 the couple celebrated their Golden wedding anniversary. Mrs. Wolfinger died in 1933. The Dundas blacksmith turned his shop into a wooden ware business in 1884. Pulpwood and other materials were easy to get and the business boomed. At one time he employed as high as 50 men in the small community. He manufactured cheese boxes, butter tubs, and candy pails for 30 years. Later, he began to manufacture canning machinery some of which was shipped all over the United States, Russian, India, Egypt, Canada, South America, Greece and South Africa. The deceased was a charter member of branch No. 103 of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin at Hollandtown. He served as a state assemblyman from Calumet County in 1892 and 1893 [The Wisconsin Blue Book indicates he served 1895-1897.] Survivors are three daughters, Mrs. John Weyers, Kennen; Mrs. Walter Rademacher, Stanley; Mrs. Henry Hovenar, Hollandtown; two sons, Joseph F. and Frank F. of Dundas, one brother, Frank, Brillion, 21 grandchildren and 49 great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 9 o'clock this morning from Greenwood Funeral Home and at 9:30 from St. Francis Catholic Church, Hollandtown, with the Rev. Cornelius Raythakers [?] officiating. Interment will be in the parish cemetery. [Kaukauna Times, Kaukauna, Wisconsin. Aug. 20, 1941, pg. 1] Transcribed by Linda Kappell
