Miscellaneous Wenkel Information

Following is some miscellaneous information found when doing a general Wenkel search on Google. I have no connection so far.  If these are YOUR Wenkels, let me know.



Found in the Monroe County Independent, Monroe County Illinois.


Fr. John A. Weissler OMI, 92, of Belleville, formerly of Columbia, died September 29, 2004, at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Belleville. He was born September 3, 1912, in Columbia, the son of the late John and Lena Weissler nee Wenkel. He is survived by his sister Sr. Mary Joan Weissler of Ruma; nephews David (Kelcey) Whitman of Carmel, Ind., Robert (Deborah) Whitman of Carmel, Ind., and Mark (Susan) Whitman of Cincinnati, Ohio; and niece Joan (Ed) Hampton of Mehlville, Mo. He was preceded in death by brother George Weissler, sisters Amanda Kofron and Lena Whitman, and nephew Peter Whitman. Fr. John attended Immaculate Conception School in Columbia and St. Henry’s Seminary in Belleville. He joined the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, beginning his career in Mission, Texas, in 1938. He studied theology at De Mazenod Scholasticate in San Antonio and was ordained a priest by Bishop Althoff on June 5, 1943, in Belleville. His first assignment was in Carthage, Mo., where he opened the minor seminary Our Lady of the Ozark. He established the Oblate Press, by which he published Roses and Gold, and served as pastor of St. Ann’s in Carthage for 30 years, until he retired in 1985. Throughout his life, Fr. John was a strong backer of catholic schools. He said his first mass at Immaculate Conception Church. His visitation, funeral mass and burial were at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and Cemetery in Columbia. Memorials may be made to Missionary Oblates Seminary Fund.
