  Woelfel, Leonard Leonard Woelfel, age 91, of Hilbert, died on Friday, February 27, 2009, at the Chilton Care Center in Chilton. He was born January 26, 1918, in Charlestown, son of the late Conrad & Agnes (Heimann) Woelfel. Leonard married Marie Schmitt on August 27, 1940, and he continued to farm in the Charlestown area. In 1948, he and Marie took $50 and their 3 cows and moved to the Town of Stockbridge where they established their new home and farm. Marie preceded Leonard in death on June 25, 1979, and in 1980 he retired from farming. His passion and love of farming ran so deep, however, that he continued to help on the farm and offer advice whenever it was needed up through last summer. Leonard was a member of the Fox Valley Christian Church in Stockbridge, and belonged to the National Farmers Organization since 1964. Besides farming, Leonard enjoyed playing Sheepshead and spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Leonard was preceded in death by his parents; his wife: Marie; a grandchild: Steve Woelfel; 2 brothers: Florian (Dorothy) Woelfel, Roland (Sally) Woelfel; and a sister: Celeste Woelfel.
