MOLDENHAUER FUNERAL SUNDAY
The Story of How He Was Wounded
Terribly in War Battle.
W. A. Moldeuhauor , one of the
founders of Norfolk , who was hero at
the birth of the town lu 1870 and had
lived here from that day to this , dlod
after a long Illness at his home on
Norfolk avenue at 8 : DO o'clock Tues
day morning.
For ton years Mr. Moldoiihauor was
the village's only shoemaker. Ho took
a homestead north of the August
Itiutsch farm , which still remains In
the family's possession , and he also
took a Id-acre pre-emption half n mile
north of the sugar factory site , which
Is still hoid by the family.
Mr. Moldonhauor was elected conn/
ty commissioner in Madison county In
1871' , serving In that capacity. Other
than that , he declined ever to con
slder political olllco. Up until 180i ( Mr
Moldonhauor was a democrat , but he
voted for McKinley and continued ( i
republican from that time on.
He was a soldier in the union army
and was twice shot In the battle ol
( 'hancellorsvllle , the wounds boln
considered fatal. He survived those
bullets , however , and lived to the age
of Oil.
Mr. Moldenhauor married Miss Ame
Iln Ilirth at .lunoau , WIs. , in 18GG
Twelve children wore born , of when
seven survive.
William August Moldenhauer was
born eight miles from Berlin , Ger
many , September 15 , 1841. His pa
rents came to America in 1S4U am
settled on a farm near Watertown
WIs. Mr. Moldonhauor was the young
est of ton children , only one of whom
the oldest , remains alive.
He was in the Twenty-sixth WIscon
sin Voluhteer Infantry regiment wltl
August Kaasch , C. W. Braasch , Augus
Liergman , August Huebner , and K <
Apler , alt Norfolk pioneers.
And it was In the battle of Chan
cellorsvlllo , in Virginia , ( sometimei
called the battle of the wilderness
that Mr. Moldenhauer fell a victim t <
two rebel balls of lead. It was on Ma ;
*
2 , 18lj'that : ! he was shot twice in tha
terrible conflict. Twenty thousand so ]
diers wore slain in that light and tin
wonder was that this man who after
L ward came to Norfolk ever recovered
The first bullet passed through Mr
Moldenliauer's right thigh. It was tli
first engagement of consequence tha
this regiment had participated In. Th
first bullet gave Its victim a sting lik
L the sting of a bee and , though he fel
the sharp twinge , this young soldie
1 did not falter in the line of march.
It was about an hour afterward tlui
the second bullet struck Mr. Molder
bailor's loft groin and imbedded itsol
in the flesh. To the day of his dent'
he carried that bullet and it gave hir
trouble now and then. A surgeon , a
tor the battle , told him that he woul
carry that bullet to the grave and ac
vised him never to allow anyone t
attempt to take it out.
With two bullet wounds , Privnt
Moldenhauer kept on marching an
carrying his gun until from loss o
blood he became too weak to go fin
ther. About to fall from line , tw
strange soldiers from another reg
merit approached and gave him the !
arms. At length this union army wa
overhauled by the confederates an
thOhO two comrades were taken awa
as prisoners. Their names were neve
learned by the man they helped. Tb
wounded Moldonhauer dropped to th
ground and lay there all through th
night and until 9 o'clock the next mori
ing. Confederates came along an
kicked him , ordering him to get u
and be taken away witli prisoners , hi
lie was too weak to go unless he wn
carried , and this none ventured.
In his canteen was fresli water tlu
his parched throat craved , but thi
was tripped off and taken by one c
the victorious fighters. Out on th
field \w \ lay all through that night wit
bullet's raining all about,1 and a't 9 ne >
day ho crawled to a hickory tree tin
had been severed by a cannon bal
whittled oft" a cane and crawled to
house a half mile awny that had bee
converted into a hospital. It took in
til I ! o'clock that afternoon to rnah
the short half mile of distance. Du
ing that time the confederates wer
charging the union fortifications , ante
to escape the charge , this wounde
soldier was forced to He down flat o
the ground three different times on hi
way across that field.
It was a terrible sight that he sa'
along the way. The dead and woum
ed , bleeding and mangled , lay strew
here and there and everywhere. Thos
dead were buried , all together , i
trenches that were dug for the grave
Once he had gained the hosplt !
house , Mr. Moldenlinuer crawled o
hands and knees up to the buildin
and through the door. The sun on
side was scorching and ho lay dow
just inside the door that he might o
cape the torturing heat. In the rooi
on a mattress lay a wounded genera
No one else was in the room. Pro
ontly a surgeon approached , saw th
private and asked how ho came then
" 1 just crawled in to get out of tli
heat ; I'm wounded , " answered the so
dier.
"Well , this is no place for privates
retorted the surly surgeon. "Thi
room is for olllcers. Got out ! "
"I'm too weak to walk out alone , s
you will have to carry me out If yu
want me away , " answered the \\ourn
ed man.
"All right , " came the response. "I1
get my assistants. "
But he never did it.
Over In the other corner of tin
room there rose up on one elbow , d
spite his terrible wounds , a dying run
who wore the shoulder straps of
union general. He had heard the coi
vorsation and , though weak and torte
to pieces with bullets , he had strongt
enough to rise up and give an order I
the surly surgeon which meant the 111
of W. A. Moldenhauer.
"Doctor ! " commanded the riddle
general , "leave that man where ho It
Ho needs attention as much as tl
officers. "
The surgeon suDsmed and the go :
oral , turning to the private , bade him
crawl across the floor and Join In the
comforts of the mattress. Profusely
thanking the general , but protesting at
'
first against sharing his couch , that
wounded private was at last Induced
to crawl uii beside the general and
there to rest his head.
'
< Through the afternoon general and
private rested there , both suffering
| from their heavy wounds , side by side ;
night stole on and the long night
dragged through. When another day
dawned the generous-hearted general
' had found relief from his suffering and
had gone to the land that knows no
war. He had dlod beside the private
whose life ho had saved.
The name of that general Is no doubt
written prominently In the history of
the United States. But who ho was
the wounded private beside was never
able to learn.
That night was a terrible one. Out
side a tei rifle thunderstorm came up
and boat down upon the thousands ol
dead and wounded soldiers with Its
torrents. And while W. A. Moldon-
bailer lay protected within , ho could
hear all through the long night the
cries and moans of the men lying out
on the ground In the storm , unable to
mo\o on account of their wounds.
It was nine days before the wound.
of this man wore dressed. And he
burvlved in spite of that.
75 Cents for Coffee.
For throe weeks ho lay in that lies
pital. Then he was traded back t <
the union army In return for prisoners
held by thorn. One day during thai
period a confederate soldier cnrnt
around with cups of coffee , which wort
eagerly bought at seventy-live cents
each. The food consisted mainly ol
Hour and water. At the end of tin
three weeks Mr. Moldonhauer was
moved to the home of General Lee
which had been converted into a lies
pital. Here ho remained three weeks
and then , on a freight car , ho was
transferred to the Chestnut Hill lies
pital , Philadelphia. It was a seven
ride , and the Jarring over freiglr
trucks was no pleasant experience foi
men with wounds. Following that rich
Mr. Moldonhauor suffered an attack o
fever , and one night it was though
that he was dying.
After he had partly recovered hi
asked for a furlough , but was told that
owing to the fact that so many sol
diers who had secured furloughs hat
never returned , the government wa
shutting down on these and a ( lit
charge would bo a simpler matter. Si
ho took a discharge and , with still ai
open wound , returned to his mother'
farm in Wisconsin.
After a year on the farm , Mr. Mol
denhauer went to Fond du Lac am
worked for a hotel. A year later hi
returned to his trade and establishei
himself in business at Juncau ; In 18G
he was married , and in 1870 came t
Norfolk.
W. A. Moldenhauer came to Norfoll
because of the German colony that hai
came from Wntertown and who hai
founded the town. From Herrnai
Braasch , who laid out the townslte , h
bought a lot across the street from th
flouring mill. Here he built a liom
and in this house plied his trade untl
eighteen years after , when he built hi
store.
The Moldenhauer house and the .
S. McClary house were started the sol
| same day , within an hour of one at
I other. Mr. .McClary led by that mai
gin. Both almost built on Braasc
avenue , but didn't.
A man named Marsh conducted th
1 j "Stovepipe" hotel on Braasch avenm
I' He declared Braasch avenue would b
1 , the main street of the town and M <
s Clary arid Moldenhauor had both si
lected sites on Braasch avenue , rend
1 j to start building next day. Next mori
sirig | Mr. Moldenhauer found the Mi
f j Clary lot deserted and the lumbe
" 'transferred ' to a lot on Norfolk avenm
'
! ' He was glad , for he preferred Norfol
I avenue , and immediately transferre
t his deed.
M W. A. Moldenhauer was a mernhe
II of St. Paul's German Lutheran churc
" from the time he reached Norfoll
' , when the church was a small buildin !
6 Until now , when its now home is th
' i finest church in all this 'northwes
costing between $20,000 and $ HO,00 (
il He was a member of the school boar
[ l in connection with the parochlt
11 school.
s. At the age of 15 Mr. Moldenhaue
' began learning his trade as a shoi
v maker. In those days the trades wer
I- ' entered by more boys than today , sine
11 there was little machinery and ban
e , work was absolutely essential.
11 j The tirst half dollar earned by hli
' was in trapping quail. He sold th
il birds in town for fifty cents , Imvin
a caught them in a trap made by bin
5 , self. With his first half dollar he le !
homo to make his way. At Oconomi
n woe he secured work , and at wage
> -tliat , look small from the present-da
u viewpoint. It was for fifty cents a da
1. 1 that he labored there at his tradi
i-jThen IIP worked in the harvest flel
o at $1 ! ! per month and later made , wit
' . j four others. $100 building a plank roa
e near Lake Superior , in Michigan. Tlu
Iwas big money in those days , too. A
ter that the young man worked a h
" I at his trade , then worked on a farm
s couple of winters in order that li

o was near Janesvllle. And shortly a
u ter that ho enlisted in the army.

none too soon , for they had hardly
' got out of the house until the roof fell
' .In . , and saved nothing but n few arti-

'
3'John was nearly suffocated ; ho is a

awoke the pillow under his head was
' ' on lire. The total loss is about $1,000 ,

now. It Is right reasoning from t
wrong standpoint wholly irrelevant
This is not a comparative question it
any sense. Suppose thin farmer hat
three dozen chickens and a thief steals
two dozen of thorn. The farmer prosecutes
ocutes and the thelf admits his gull !
but makes a plea for acquittal on the
ground that the farmer yet has more
chickens than his neighbor Jones. Or
let this farmer have one of his arnu
amputated and like it simply because
some unfortunate brother Is entlrelj
armless. The people of this countrj
should demand their God-given anc
constitutional rights regardless of th <
condition of any people in any nation.
