He was born in Cammin, Pommern (Pomerania), Prussia, an area that is now part part of Poland. He and his siblings, Herman and August with their parents Michael Frederick and Christine (Ramthun) Nohr, left their home in Cammin, boarded the Stephani in Hamburg, Germany and arrived in New York harbor on 10 August 1841. The family initially settled in Jackson Township, Washington County, Wisconsin, where Wilhelm met and married his wife Scharlotte Schneider. Their children Fred W, Augusta, and Frank were born here. Wilhelm purchased 40 acres in Jackson Township on 1 May 1855.
Wilhelm sold his land and moved his family to Morrison Township, Brown County, Wisconsin, most likely moving with his father Michael, and his brothers, August, Herman and their families about 1859. Wilhelm and Scharlotte's children Mark Johann Heinrich, Eliza, Philip, Wilhelm Herman, Emma, and Caroline were born here. Wilhelm signed up for the Union Army draft but does not appear to have served during the Civil War.
Land records show that August owned 81.93 acres in Morrison Township by 1889.
It is presumed that he died at home. He was survived by his wife, Scharlotte, and children, Fred, Augusta, Frank, Eliz,=a, Philip, Wilhelm Herman, Emma, and Caroline, and his brothers August and Herman. He was preceded in death by his parents, Michael Frederick and Christina (Ramthun) Nohr, and his son Mark Johann Heinrich.
Note: his birth date per his headstone inscription does not agree with his birth date as provided by Pomerania, Germany, Parish Register Transcripts for Cammin, Pommern, where he and his brothers were born. The baptism record is deemed correct since it's an original source; the headstone inscription is considered a secondary source for his date of birth. His date of death per his headstone also does not agree with State of Wisconsin records.
