    3. Please; remember to include a minimum of three things, where, even a large area, when, again just come close by a century, who, as complete as possible. I know if you knew this much you might not need help. Readers have a vast resource of sites and names they have chased, many of us for decades. AND to those just starting, record what is available NOW. like those unmarked photos once the knowledge is buried it is a long path to recover. Bud.

Christian Weideman, 75 years old, for more than 40 years connected with the firm of William Wright & Co., as a designer, dies suddenly early Sunday morning at his home, 93 Erskine street, of heat disease. Mr. Weideman was in his usual health when he retired Saturday night but complained about 2:30 a. m. of being ill and later died. Mr. Weideman, along with work on other public buildings, superintended the decoration of the state capitol at Lansing about 20 years ago. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 2 p. m. from the house and burial will be private. Mr. Weideman was born in Neustadt, Germany, in 1837, and came to Detroit about 45 years ago. His first employment in Detroit was with William Wright and he continued with him until his death. As the firm went through various changes in ownership, management and name, Mr. Weideman acquired a financial interest. He is survived by a widow and seven children, Oscar, Mathilde, assistant principal of the Detroit Normal School, Alma Caroline, Emma, Walter and Mrs. E. Von der Heide.

Author: michaelswanson60 Surnames: Weidemann Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/16611.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am interested in an employee named Weidemann in this company. ----- The Wenonah Hotel is truly the realization of the "Artists Dream," and to the William Wright Company, of 52-54 West Fort street, Detroit, is due the credit. Other monuments to the genius of this firm are the Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, and the Morton, at Grand Rapids. WILLIAM WRIGHT, Artistic interior decorator, 32 and 34 Fort street, west, was born in the County of Norfolk, England, November 12, 1833, and was educated to his profession of painter and decorator at Cambridge. In 1854 he went to London, where he completed his studies in artistic decoration and in 1857 he came to the United States arriving at Detroit on the steamer " City of Concord," November 3rd of that year, stopping at the old Biddle House on Jefferson avenue. He opened a shop on the site of the present Ferry building on Woodward avenue, pursuing his avocacation of painter, interior decorator and paper hanger. Finding this venture successful he associated himself in a partnership under the firm name of Laible, Wright & Hopkins, for the more extended conduct of the business, occupying premises on Jefferson avenue, between Bate3 and Randolph streets. The business prospered, and after five years, Mr. Wright bought the business and took in as a partner, Air. William Reid, and they continued! as William Wright & Company for several years. They afterward bought out Aspinwall & Company on Woodward avenue, the firm name remaining unchanged and so continuing for seven years. After this Mr. Wright retired from active business, during which time he visited England, and on his return to Detroit resumed business in the general decorative line. Mr. Wright in deference to the philanthropic aims which have ever characterized him, recently enlisted his employes in a co-operative consolidation, entitled the William Wright Company. Since 1857, when Mr. Wright began business in Detroit, he has been the leader in the decorative art, and splendid memorials of his genius are to be found in the elegant and costly homes of Detroit's opulent citizens. His designs and products are standard all over the United States, and his name a household word wherever excellence of decorative essentials is mentioned. Mr. Wright's ears are ever open to a meritorious plan for pecuniary aid from th! e young and promising men who seek the proper paths to fortune, and fe w men in Detroit have more generously contributed to this noble purpose.
