Vanderhoof, Wesley (16 OCT 1843 – 7 JAN 1938)Wesley Vanderhoof, who died at his home in the town of Sherman January 7, 1938, was one of four surviving Civil War veterans of Clark County, the other three being Thomas Goodell, Spokeville, Albert Darton, Loyal, and Sylvanus Warner, Thorp, all of whom are past 90 years of age.
Wesley Vanderhoof was born on a farm in Pequanic, Morris County, N.J., Oct 16, 1843, a son of Jacob and Jane (Miller) Vanderhoof. He grew to young manhood there, receiving only a limited education. In 1861 he answered the call of his country and enlisted in Company E, 8th New Jersey Regiment and was mustered in at Trenton, that regiment being sent to Washington. He saw and participated in much hard fighting. At Chancellorsville he received a hip wound and lay in the field for six days before hew as picked up and taken to Mt. Pleasant Hospital at Washington. Here he recovered and rejoined his regiment.
Jacob Vanderhoof was born at Boonton, N.J., Feb. 13, 1816, and in 1870 came west and located in Plymouth, Wis., living there about four years, after which he located with his son, Wesley, on a farm in Clark County, Wis., seven miles southwest of this village.The deceased has been in very good health for many years past, and in spite of his advanced age has managed to walk from one to two miles daily until Monday of this week. On this morning he arose at about six o'clock, as usual, feeling in good spirits, but was taken ill some time during the forepart of the day, from which he did not recover, and at about one o'clock a.m., Thursday he passed to the great beyond to meet his wife, who preceded him in death by about sixteen years.
Ten children, whose names are as follows, are now mourning the loss of their aged father, who was always "true blue" to his family, and carried an overflowing heart of love for all who were near to him: Wesley and Charles of the town of Sherman; Ward of Loyal, Wis.; Rachel Lang of Merrill; Mrs. Ed Kayhart and Mrs. M. Degrau of the town of Sherman; Mrs. Frank Neil of Duluth; Walter of Fairview, Mont.; Elijah and Mrs. John Gosline of Washington, and one sister living in N.J., 45 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild; besides many other relatives and friends throughout the state.
The funeral was held last Friday from the Wesley Vanderhoof home at two o'clock p.m., Rev. Dix conducted the services, after which the remains of the oldest and one of the most respected residents of central Wis. was laid to rest in peace in the Sherman Cemetery.
The Tribune joins the many friends of the sorrowing ones in extending to them the hand of sympathy in their hour of great sorrow and affliction.

From"The Britzius Story" by Dianne Z. Stevens 2013:
Catharina Britzius (b 1810- Bisterschied, Pfalz) married a man named Johann Schnell
Per Britzius file III p. 4 "On the ship 'Leopard' arriving New York 6 July 1840, departing Europe from Le Havre, were Jacob Britzius born 1788, Catharina Britzius born 1813, Jacob born 1820, 'Dewold' (Theobald) born 1821, and Lisbeth born 1823. . . Jakob Britzius lost his wife, Katarina Elizabeth Schwartz, in Bisterschied in 1838. Two years later he emigrated (we learn from above record) with four of his children including 20 - year old Theobald, who later married Christine Elizabeth Maurer. . .also young Jakob Britzius, 16, who later married Catherine Wasem. The ship's record lists the family as coming from 'Bavaria.'"
