OBITUARY: Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, Friday, March 4, 1929, page 3.
Joseph J. Deniger, 105 Madison St., who passed away very suddenly at the local hospital Thursday morning, where he had been taken after a fall on an icy sidewalk which resulted in a double fracture of his right hip bone, was born July 4, 1846, at Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. When he was five years of age he came to America with his parents and they settled in this community and Mr. Deniger has spent his useful and active life here since that time, a period of about 78 years.
When he was a young man he was married to Frances Tischler and they made their home in the Town of Westford for many years and in the early 90's they came to Beaver Dam to live where Mr. Deniger was engaged in the grocery and general store business for a period of ten years. This store was located in the building now occupied by the Olman-Mitchell Hardware, and at that time was one of Beaver Dam's largest downtown business places.
After disposing of his store interests Mr. Deniger retired from active business. Mrs. Deniger preceded her husband in death on Aug. 15, 1911, and on June 16, 1914, Mr. Deniger was married to Anna Siefert, who survives.
In the Deniger family were ten children, four of whom survive: John J. Deniger of this city; Joseph Deniger, Jr., Mrs. Tillie Klausen and Mrs. Nick Fox all of Watertown, S.D. Twenty-three grandchildren also survive. The passing of Mr. Deniger marks the last of that generation in the Deniger family.
Mr. Deniger was a member of the Holy Name Society, the Catholic Knights and a faithful member of St. Peter's congregation.
Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Peter's church, Rev. Fr. Rohner officiating and interment in St. Peter's cemetery.
Mr. Deniger was one of Beaver Dam's older residents and a pioneer of this community. He was held in high esteem by hosts of friends and acquaintances in all walks of life who mourn his loss.
