A death notice for John Wismer does appear on page 5 of the August 7, 1890, edition of the Berliner Journal. It is in German, but enough may be understood that a burial date is not given and simply tells his age in years, months and days, as shown above.

See Ezra Eby's 1896 Volume 2, page 666, A Biographical History of Waterloo Township. Rev. Fretz has a brief paragraph in his history of the Wismer family on page 191.
