William Langemak May 16, 1903 Chilton Times

Wm. Langemak and wife, son, Ernst and daughter, Miss Hannah, departed on Tuesday for Modesta, California, where they intend making their future home. Mr. Langemak has been a sufferer from rheumatism for a number of years, the result of exposure during the civil war. He served his country as a member of Co. D, 9th regiment. He was a pioneer settler of this county, coming to New Holstein in 1853. In 1870 he moved to Brillion where he has since resided. He was always popular with his neighbors and worthy of the esteem which they bestowed upon him. The best wishes of the community go with him and it is hoped that his health will improve.

William Langemack Brillion News August 28, 1908

The people of our city were shocked last Sunday morning when it was learned that William Langemack, one of our prominent citizens had died suddenly that morning. He was about to get out of bed, apparently in good health, when he suddenly fell over and when assistance reached him he was dead.
Decedent was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, 62 years ago. He came to America with his parents in 1853, the family settling at New Holstein, Calumet Co. At the age of only 18 years the young man enlisted in the union army joining the 9th Wis. Regiment serving for one year, when he received his honorable discharge.

He was married in 1868 to the wife who now survives him and he is also survived by nine children, five boys and four girls. The sons are Herman, Evansville, Wis., Arthur, Alaska, Edmund, Milwaukee, William, Winona, Minn., and Ernst, Milwaukee. The daughters are Mrs. A. R. Ruppenthal and Mrs. P. J. Thompson, both of our city, Mrs. Wm. Maertz of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Ed Jerry of Hilbert.
Mr. and Mrs. Langemack have had a continuous residence in our city for 38 years except for one year spent in California five years ago.
The funeral was held here on Tuesday, interment being in the village cemetery, Rev. Trautmann of Forest Junction conducting services at the house. Many and beautiful floral offerings, among those some sent by employes of Schuster & Co of Milwaukee, testified to the high regard in which the deceased was held. The pall bearers were Charles Bruss, Carl Plank, Gotlieb Schuler, Charles Bernard, George Suhr and Fred Richter Sr.
Thus has taken from us a man whom we have all loved for his kindly, gentle manner and upright life. He was as popular with the young folks as with the old. He took a lively interest in all the clean enjoyment of youth. In public affairs he was progressive and never a knocker. In his private relations, he was as honest as the day was long and a staunch and loyal friend to those he deemed worthy. He was a true patriot and was a man of strong convictions and fearless in expressing them. The whole community mourns the loss of this excellent man and its sincere sympathy goes out to the sadly bereaved family.
