Research notes for William

I have confirmed that this is William's Find-a-Grave entry. The records obtained via the cemetery confirm that Frederick W., buried in Lawn X Lot 88, was born in Wisconsin; died 4 Jul 1925; was buried 7 Jul 1925; and that there are no other Wiemer's in this cemetery.

As for his name -- Frederick W. vs. William F. -- I don't know...
Baptism - F. William (although it was VERY common to in Southern WI to be baptized FIRST MIDDLE, only to end up being known as MIDDLE FIRST)
WWI draft - Frederick William
Death rec. - Frederick William
ALL OTHERS (including census records, marriage record, etc.) - William F.
I think he went by William, but officially was Frederick.

Both Wm and brother John's 1915 census record says they've been in Iowa for 19 years. I cannot seem to locate a 1900 census record for either.
