- Many of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Adam Wiegand, an old settler and one of the founders of the first Catholic church established in Davenport. Mr. Wiegand was born at Frankford on the Main in 1811, and he came to Davenport in 1843, and from that time on he had been one of her most conscientious and upright citizens. His funeral took place from the family residence on the corner of Marquette and 7th streets, on Friday morning at 9 A.M.
