Funeral of Jacques Wissler, Designer of Confederate Currency—Other News

Funeral of Jacques Wissler, Designer of Confederate Currency—Other News. Jacques Wissler, living at No. 245 Royden street, Camden, died on Friday night. He was famous as the "lithographer of the Confederacy." He was born at Alsace in 1803, and learned lithographing in Paris. Just previous to the breaking out of the late rebellion he was sent to Richmond by a New York firm of lithographers. Shortly after he landed in old Virginia, Fort Sumter was fired on. Richmond became the capital of the Southern States, and Mr. Wissler found himself assigned to the duty of designing the notes and bonds of the seceders. Although Wissler was not satisfied with his situation, there was nothing left for him to do than fulfil his contract with the New York firm. It is said that he always made it a point to take his remuneration in some other kind of money than that which he manufactured himself. After the close of the war he purchased a house at Macon, Ga., which he afterwards disposed of to come North. His daughter, Mrs. Anna Holburg, who still lives at Macon, is the principal teacher of a musical institution at that place. His granddaughter, Miss Zenaide Wissler, is one of the members of Augustin Daly's New York Theatrical Company. The funeral took place yesterday from his late residence, the service being conducted by Rev. Dr. Tidball, rector of St Paul's P. E. Church. Interment was made in Evergreen Cemetery. [illegible]
