| Abstract | J. Fred Wetter was born in Degerfelden, Canton Aargau, Switzerland on Nov. 17, 1846. He and his brother emigrated to America in August of 1867, where J. Fred was employed as a printer in Baltimore, Wheeling, Newark, and Pittsburgh, before settling permanently in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Here he worked for and eventually purchased the Pottsville Jefferson Demokrat. For twenty years Wetter wrote a column in Pennsylvania Dutch, which he signed D'r Hansgoerg, and which was syndicated in German-language newspapers across the country.
