Notes:

AVILTON - Leonard Joseph Wilhelm Sr., 100, of Avilton, went to be with the Lord, Thursday, Sept. 19, 2002, at his residence. He was born March 8, 1902, in Garrett County, a son of the late John Olin and Ada (Garlitz) Wilhelm. He resided less than a mile from where he grew up. His great-grandfather was one of the first county commissioners in the area. Mr. Wilhelm began working at an early age. At age 9, he conceived of the idea for a place where his family could gather to enjoy each other's company. This place became known as Wilhelm Flat. Throughout the Wilhelm family history, this site has seen its share of parties, weddings, and other holiday family gatherings. He was a middle child in a family of 11 children, and is survived by only one sibling, a younger brother, Asa Wilhelm, also of Avilton. As a boy, Mr. Wilhelm worked on the farm and in saw mills, hauled logs to Uniontown, Pa., in a Ford truck and handled horses with a sleigh. He married his wife, the former Mary E. J. Crowe on Valentines Day, Feb. 14, 1927, three years after they began dating. Mrs. Wilhelm preceded him in death on July 15, 1980. Together they had 19 children. Three sons, and one daughter, Dale Frederick, Okee, and Harry Wilhelm, and Hazel Layman also preceded him in death. Surviving are seven sons, Leonard, Jr., Ray and Ronald, all of Avilton, Olin of Wickliffe, Ohio, Gilbert, Sr., Lonaconing, Dallas, Barton, and Robert, Uniontown, Pa.; eight daughters, Twila Mae Fike, Mildred Husselbaugh, and Susie Kamp, all of Avilton, Jean Miller, North Jackson, Ohio, Helen Michael, Westernport, Lois Rowe, Connie Burdock, and Sheila Baker, all of Frostburg; 65 grandchildren; 108 great-grandchildren; and 37 great great grandchildren. The Wilhelm family's home was always open to friends and family. Mr. Wilhelm worked hard all his life, but always made a point to set aside holidays for his family. And the only work done on Sundays consisted of essential farm tasks. He helped to keep his large family close by always encouraging his children to help out around the house and giving them the best possible environment in which to grow up. He always provided his family with plenty of food, giving them fresh vegetables, beef, and one of his favorites, pork. Mr. Wilhelm had always enjoyed life and accepted its ups and downs. He realized that his health had been very good, since he only began taking medications two years ago. He worked in his garden well into his late 90s. A member of Mount Zion United Methodist Church, Leonard acknowledged Jesus' help in his life and firmly believed that the key to a good, long life is always helping people. The Wilhelm family will receive friends at the Wilhelm Recreational Area (The Flat), on the Avilton-Lonaconing Road, on Saturday from 2 to 9 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted there on Sunday at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Daniel Agnew and the Rev. Warren Friend officiating. Interment will be in Blocher Cemetery. Pallbearers will be grandsons, Leonard Joey Wilhelm III, Brian Wilhelm, Matthew Wilhelm, Timmy Wilhelm II, Terrell Burdock, and Ronnie Wilhelm. Expressions of sympathy may be directed to Mount Zion United Methodist Church Building Fund. Newman Funeral Homes, P.A., 179 Miller St., Grantsville, is in charge of the arrangements.
