They operated it as a hotel for many years and had a boat livery in connection, until within recent years.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wiese were great lovers of the lake and were fond of fishing. They especially liked fishing through the ice and winter fishing and both regularly tended gill-nets for many years after that form of fishing was permitted.
They were the parents of only one child, a daughter, Alma, now Mrs. Charles Wilson. Mr. Wiese, Mrs. Wilson, and two grandchildren, Jimmy and Betty Wilson, survive. A sister, Mrs. Emma Carl of Lone Tree, is the only member of her immediate family to survive. Mrs. Wiese was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran church in Spirit Lake. Rev. M. J.
