Mark Wanner, beloved husband of Shirley Wanner of Calgary and loving father to Susan Woolgar of Red Deer, AB passed away peacefully, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, on Thursday, January 3, 2008, surrounded by his love ones.

Shortly after marrying in 1954 Mark and Shirley moved to Saskatoon, SK where their daughter Susan was born in 1955. Calgary beckoned the young family and soon became home. Mark enjoyed a long career (thirty-three years) with Mobil Canada in the Drafting and Land Departments before taking early retirement in 1985.

Mark had a life-long love of fishing ? particularly trolling where he spent hours and hours on the waters of Mahood Lake in central BC. He was at his happiest ?at the lake?, resulting in many wonderful family memories related to the time spent ?roughing it? at the family cabin. Mark was a craftsman in every sense of the word and able to fix most things. He also enjoyed and was very good at playing cards. Poker with his buddies and Bridge with Shirley and their close friends in the later years brought him much satisfaction.

26017 We are researching the life of my wife's great-grandfather, Mr.
George Schuetz, who married Minnie Myrtle Preece in Jefferson, Iowa
on June 2, 1904. The Minister was E.W.F. Reoma (sp?) and the
witnesses were Elmer and Elizabeth Dolton (Minnie's sister and
brother-in-law). They had a daughter named Louise Elizabeth born
in Feb. 1905.

The Preece family was from Toledo, Ohio, so we suspect that George
Schuetz came from the Jefferson, Iowa area. He was believed to
have been a railroad man and may, as well, been connected to a
family by the name of Ochsner (also of Toledo). George, Minnie and
their daughter moved to Canada with the entire Preece family
(Minnie's Father's name was John Preece) in March 1905.

George seperated from the family following the death of John Preece
in 1906 and may have returned to the United States. He was rumored
to have died in a railroad accident. This would have been during
the time 1908-1914.

If you have any information concerning these people or can give us
any suggestions as to directions of future research, please reply
by return e-mail. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Son of George Wegman and Susanna Metzger. According to Celeste Wegman White, John Wegman (who founded the Wegmans grocery store) was a first cousin of this Robert Henry Wegman. This John Wegman had a son named Robert Wegman, who had Chris Wegman, Danny Wegman, and Bob. Robert Henry Wegman had helped with some of the money to get the place started. The Wegmans store was started in the early to mid-1920s. Walter Wegman was a brother of John Wegman. Robert Henry Wegman was a builder of houses. This is a history of the Wegman store: John Wegman, who just a year before had been peddling fresh produce from a pushcart, opened the Rochester Fruit and Vegetable Co. at 73 West Main St. in 1916. He was joined by his brother Walter a year later. For five years they concentrated on fruit and vegetable items, according to a history faxed to us by the company. In 1921, the brothers opened another operation at 334 East Main Street, where they also sold general groceries and had a bakery. The next year, they moved their original store across the street to a large four-story structure at 72-76 West Main Street, which became known as the Wegman Building. In 1930--the same year in which the Wegman s opened their "showcase" 20,000-square-foot store on South Clinton Avenue--the West Main Street store was expanded. Robert Heinrich Wegman's sponsors at birth are Heinrich F. Wegman and Catherina Wegman. At the time of his marriage in 1915, he was living at 858 Clinton Avenue North, and was age 27.

Sponsors at baptism: Joannes Odenbach and Barbara Ernst, both of Buffalo. Since an Ernst is a sponsor for this child, I consider it likely that Johann Wegman's first wife is Maria Magdalena Ernst. Edward Robert Wegman died at age 26 of consumption. He was of 140 Adams St. and was born in Rochester. In the 1880 census, he worked as a clerk in a dry goods store

26050 Welk was born in the German-speaking community of Strasburg, North Dakota. He was sixth of the eight children of Ludwig and Christiana (Schwahn) Welk, ethnic Germans who emigrated to America in 1892 from Selz, Kutschurgan District, in the German-speaking area north of Odessa (now Odessa, Ukraine, but then in southwestern Russia).

The family lived on a homestead that today is a tourist attraction. They spent the cold North Dakota winter of their first year under an upturned wagon covered in sod. Welk decided on a career in music and persuaded his father to buy a mail-order accordion for $400 (equivalent to $4,641 as of 2013)[2][3] He promised his father that he would work on the farm until he was 21, in repayment for the accordion. Any money he made elsewhere during that time, doing farmwork or performing, would go to his family.

A common misconception is that Welk did not learn English until he was 21. In fact, he began learning English as soon as he started school. The part of North Dakota where he lived had been settled largely by Germans from Russia; even his teachers spoke English as a second language. Welk thus acquired his trademark accent, typical of these Plattdeutsch or Low German-speaking immigrants who usually spoke the language at home long after they began to learn English at school. He took elocution lessons in the 1950s and could speak almost accent-free, but he realized his public expected to hear him say: "A-one, an-a-two" and "Wunnerful, Wunnerful!" When he was asked about his ancestry, he would always reply "Alsace-Lorraine, Germany," from where his forebears had emigrated to Russia (and which, at the time of Welk's birth in 1903, had become part of the German Empire).
Early career

On his 21st birthday, having fulfilled his promise to his father, Welk left the family farm to pursue a career in music, which he loved. During the 1920s, he performed with the Luke Witkowski, Lincoln Boulds, and George T. Kelly bands before starting his own orchestra. He led big bands in North Dakota and eastern South Dakota. These included the Hotsy Totsy Boys and later the Honolulu Fruit Gum Orchestra.[4] His band was also the station band for popular radio station WNAX in Yankton, South Dakota. In 1927, he graduated from the MacPhail School of Music in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[5]
Photo of Welk in Chicago, 1944.

Although many associate Welk's music with a style quite separate from jazz, he did record one notable song in a ragtime style in November 1928 for Indiana-based Gennett Records. "Spiked Beer" featured Welk and his Novelty Orchestra.

During the 1930s, Welk led a traveling big band that specialized in dance tunes and "sweet" music. Initially, the band traveled around the country by car. They were too poor to rent rooms, so they usually slept and changed clothes in their cars. The term "Champagne Music" was derived from an engagement at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, when a dancer referred to his band's sound as "light and bubbly as champagne." The hotel also lays claim to the original "bubble machine," a prop left over from a 1920s movie premiere. Welk described his band's sound, saying "We still play music with the champagne style, which means light and rhythmic. We place the stress on melody; the chords are played pretty much the way the composer wrote them. We play with a steady beat so that dancers can follow it."[6]

Welk's big band performed across the country but particularly in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. In the early 1940s, the band began a 10-year stint at the Trianon Ballroom in Chicago, regularly drawing crowds of nearly 7,000. His orchestra also performed frequently at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City during the late 1940s. In 1944 and 1945, Welk led his orchestra in many motion picture "Soundies," considered to be the early pioneers of music videos.[citation needed] Welk collaborated with Western artist Red Foley to record a version of Spade Cooley's "Shame on You" in 1945. The record (Decca 18698) was #4 to Cooley's #5 on Billboard's September 15 "Most Played Juke Box Folk Records" listing.[7] From 1949 through 1951, the band had its own national radio program on ABC, sponsored by "The Champagne of Bottle Beer" Miller High Life.

Welk was married for 61 years, until his death, to Fern Renner (b. August 26, 1903, d. February 13, 2002[11]), with whom he had three children. One of his sons, Lawrence Welk Jr., married fellow Lawrence Welk Show performer Tanya Falan; they later divorced. Welk had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. One of them, grandson Lawrence Welk III, who usually goes by "Larry Welk," is a reporter and helicopter traffic pilot for KCAL-TV and KCBS-TV in Los Angeles. One of the great-grandchildren, Nate Fredricks, reportedly enjoys the same love for music as his great-grandfather did and plays guitar in a band.

Known as an excellent businessman, Welk had investments in real estate and music publishing. Welk was the general partner in a commercial real estate development located at 100 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. The 21-story tall white tower is the tallest building in Santa Monica and is located on the bluffs overlooking Santa Monica Bay. It was informally named "The Lawrence Welk Champagne Tower."
