John Tiedjens --- Tri-County Record --- April 4, 1929
A shadow was cast over this community on Wednesday evening when it was learned that John Tiedjens had passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ed Behnke. He had been in poor health for some time. He was the last surviving member of the G. A. R. in this city. If he had lived until April 2, he would have been 84 years of age.
He was born in Germany April 2, 1845, and when seven years of age came to this country with his parents and settled on the farm west of this city now owned by Harry Roeh. At seventeen years he enlisted in Company E, Twenty-first Wisconsin Regulars and was with the Army of Cumberland, taking part also in the battles of Stone River and Terryville. He received his discharge from service on June 23, 1865, and returned to private life in this city.
He was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Severin on April 2, 1869 and they located on a farm in Rantoul. A number of years later they moved to Hilbert where they made their home until 1899, when they came to this city to make their home.
On January 1, 1926 Mrs. Tiedjens passed away, and since that time he had been making his home with Mrs. Behnke. One child passed away a number of years ago. He leaves to mourn his death his daughter, Mrs. Ed Behnke of this city, two sisters, Mrs. W. A. Asmus of Hastings, Neb., and Miss Henrietta Tiedjens of this city; and two grandchildren, Elmer Behnke of this city and Miss Adela Behnke of Milwaukee.
He was a member of the Turners, and after his comrades here had passed away he became a member of the G. A. R. post at Chilton, and an honorary member of the A. E. Hansen Women's Relief Corps of this city.
