John Joseph Pfister was born in the town of York, May 6, 1896, and died March 17, 1922, at the age of 25 years, 10 months and 11 days. At an early age he came to the town of Wiota, which was his home. For some time he worked as a hired hand until he became a fireman on the railroad in Montana. On the 18th of March 1918, he, together with his brother, Paul, enlisted in the U.S. Army, and was assigned to Co.E., 31st Reg. Engineers. After training at Fort Douglas, Utah, and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, he left June 5, 1918, for duty overseas in the A.E.F. with headquarters at Summer and La Rochelle, France. While there he was stricken with diphtheria, which left him in a very weak condition. He returned to this country in November, 1919, and was transferred to an army hospital in Colorado, from which, after a time he was discharged and came home. He gradually grew weaker until death ended his illness.
He leaves to mourn his death, his mother, two brothers, Paul and Jacob; six sisters, Louise, Rose, Mary, Anna, Emma and Frieda.
