Wisth, Julia (15 August 1875 – 20 November 1974)

Graveside rites were held Saturday noon at the Greenwood Cemetery for a former area woman, Mrs. John (Julia) Wisth, 99, of Milwaukee, who died November 20 at the Hillcrest Nursing Home, Wauwatosa. Funeral services were held Friday morning from the Prasser-Kleczka Funeral Home in Milwaukee. The Rev. Larry Bremer, Milwaukee, was the officiating clergyman.

Mrs. Wisth, the former Julia Ystad, was born August 15, 1875, in Norway. The Wisths were married there and came to Greenwood in 1903 and settled on a farm northeast of the city. In 1926 they moved to Milwaukee, where she resided ever since. Mr. Wisth preceded his wife in death in 1964.

Surviving, are three sons: Hjolmer, Fred, and Thorwald Wisth, and two daughters: Mrs. Ed (Borghild) Detemple and Mrs. Carl (Hildur) Kueling, all of the Milwaukee area; and 10 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
