The surname was (and is) prominent in Marathon City. John, Thomas, Henry, Alvin, Charles, Ray, and Sylvester are listed in the Marathon City centennial book (1957). The oldest Deiningers that I remember are John and Henry. John was the president of Marathon's only bank. Probably from the 40's to the 70's. His son Tom worked there at least until the 1990's. He may be retired now. Henry Deininger ran my grandmother's tavern, located in the Klein Building at 5th and Main, from 1936 to the late 50's. Henry was probably 70 years old in 1955 so he may be a brother to Elroy. The original building was built in 1886 by Joe Klein, father to my grandmother's first cousin, Lena Klein. Lena and my grandmother (Katie Bedynek Weisenberger) lived in the house connected to the tavern.
