HONORABLE LOUIS H. WIESE
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare resolutions commemorative of the life, character and public services of the late Honorable Louis H. Wiese, former member of the General Assembly of Iowa, beg leave to submit the following memorial:
Louis H. Wiese was born near Tipton in Cedar county, Iowa, December 9th, 1890. He received his education in the public schools in Cedar and Scott counties and also attended the Brown Business College. On November 7th, 1923, he married Jennie Leindrud in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Mr. Wiese was a member of the Lutheran church, and also belonged to the Fraternal Order of Eagles, the Elks, and the Masons. He was also a member of the Northwest Turner Society and of the American Legion, having served in the army in the World War.
In the early part of his life, Mr. Wiese was engaged in mercantile business. He had lived in Davenport prior to his election to the State Legislature, which election occurred in 1932. He served in the Fortyfifth General Assembly and also the Extra Session, and was re-elected in November, 1934, and served in the session of the Legislature in 1935. He was active in legislation and rendered excellent service to his constituents in Scott county. He was an honest, conscientious man and a gentleman. He gained many friends in his contact with members of the Legislature while serving as a member.
He was especially active in assisting in clarifying laws governing drugs and pharmacists, being chairman of that committee during one of the sessions.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Forty-seventh General Assembly of the State of Iowa, That in the passing of the Honorable Louis H. Wiese, the state has lost an honored and valuable citizen, a man of high ideals in brotherly living and useful citizenship.
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the Journal of the House, and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
