Biography:
OTTO TECHLIN, a worthy representative of one of Freedom township's old and honored families, who is now operating the old Techlin homestead, was born February 11, 1882, on the farm he now conducts, and is a son of Frederick and Sophia (Rusche) Techlin, natives of Germany. Frederick Techlin was born in Prussia, June 11, 1838, and came to the United States in the fall of 1857, sailing from Hamburg on the sailing vessel "Hobart," and reaching New York after a voyage of more than fourteen weeks. For a little over a year he worked for a farmer in Rockland county, New York, and then came west to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the vicinity of which city he found employment among the farmers until he was joined by his parents, with whom he came to Center township, Outagamie county. He first acquired forty acres in Center township, but after making a few improvements sold it and bought fifty-seven acres in Freedom township. This land was all in the timber, Mr. Techlin's implements were an axe and a hand-spike and the first house was an old log cabin, but after many years of hard and unremitting toil these gave way to 137 acres of finely cultivated farming land, a full and modern set of farming machinery and an excellent brick house, and here Frederick Techlin spent the remainder of his life, dying in 1905. On September 14, 1865, he was married to Sophia Rusche of Milwaukee, and they had a family of nine children, of whom six are now living. The mother still lives on the old homestead. Otto Techlin received all of his schooling in the district schools of the neighborhood of his home, and he has always been engaged in agricultural pursuits there. He has never left the home place, and at the time of the death of his father he took charge of the property which he is still operating as a general farm. On January 15, 1905, he was married to Hattie Krueger, daughter of Charles Krueger, of Freedom township, and four children have been born to this union: Adaline, Hilda, Harold and Edwin. The family belongs to the German Lutheran Church of Freedom.

Biography:
JULIUS C. WITT, who owns and cultivates a fine farm of fifty acres in Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, is a native of this township, where he was born May 2, 1872, a son of Henry and Caroline (Tecklin) Witt, natives of Germany. Henry Witt was born in 1835, and came to America as a young man, locating in Wisconsin and taking up a farm in Grand Chute township, where he was living at the time of his death in 1874. Mrs. Witt was born September 12, 1841, and was sixteen years of age when she came to this country with her parents, who became residents of Outagamie county. After her husband's death she rented the farm for one year, and was then married to Herman Ruscher and moved back to the property, but after some years they located in Appleton, where she died in 1907. Mr. Ruscher still makes his home in Appleton. Julius C. Witt attended the district schools and German schools in Greenville township, and remained with his mother until he was twenty years of age. Having learned the trade of carpenter, he began to work at that occupation in Appleton, where he was so engaged during the next fifteen years. He then purchased the land on which he is now operating, a tract of fifty acres located in Grand Chute township which he has brought up to a high state of cultivation. He has practically given up all carpenter work in order to give all of his time and attention to the duties of his farm, and his efforts have met with well-merited success. Mr. Witt is a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Appleton. He is independent in politics and has never aspired to office, although he has served several terms as school director of his township.
Mr. Witt was married January 2, 1896, to Mary Stark, daughter of Andrew Stark of Grand Chute township, and they have had five children, born as follows: Harry Edward, December 28, 1899; Rosie Anna, February 6, 1902; Matilda Alma, March 9, 1904; Irving Julius, June 14, 1908; and George Herman, May 22, 1910.

Herman Ruscher wa.s born in Milwaukee county, near Milwaukee, September 29, 1851, and his wife in Germany, September 18, 1840. In early life he worked as a farm hand and at the carpenter's trade, and when about twenty years of age came to Outagamie, county, where for a time he was employed by various farmers in Grand Chute township. Eventually he settled on the farm now operated by his son, which at that time belonged to Mrs. Ruscher, and here he continued to live until 1904, in which year he retired and moved to Appleton, and in that city Mrs. Ruscher died June 24, 1907. They were the parents of three children: Fred W.; Lizzie, the wife of William Schultz, a Ludington township farmer; and Anna, the wife of Ernest Ferg, a millwright of Appleton. Mrs. Ruscher had been previously married to Henry Witt, by whom she had four children, namely: William, who resides with Fred W. Ruscher; John, a farmer of Black Creek township; Henry, who is deceased; and Julius, a farmer of Grand Chute township. Fred W. Ruscher attended the district schools of Grand Chute township, and in his youth worked out among the farmers of his neighborhood until he had learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed in Hortonville, Appleton, Milwaukee and Shawano county, until he was twenty-eight years of age, at which time he settled on the old homestead. He now owns seventy-two acres of highly cultivated property in Grand Chute township, and thirty-eight acres in Greenville township, and engages extensively in dairy farming, keeping a fine herd of thoroughbred Holstein cattle for this purpose. On October 5, 1904, Mr. Ruscher was married to Miss Minnie Schraeder, born September 7, 1881, in Appleton, whose parents, Julius and Amelia (Witt) Schraeder, were both born in Germany, the former July 13, 1848, and the latter May 10, 1862. The father came to America when but seven years of age, and grew to maturity in Sugar Bush, Outagamie county, working out as a farm hand until he was able to purchase a farm in Center township, where he and his wife are still living. Mrs. Ruscher is the oldest of her parents' twelve children, and secured her education in district school No. 8, Center township. Mr. and Mrs. Ruscher have had four children: Martha, born August 29, 1905; Clara, born November 12, 1906; Herman, born July 22, 1908; and Viola, born July 8, 1910.

Obituary:
Gun's Accidental Discharge Kills Farmer On Hunt
Emro Ziegler Is Shot In Lung When Trigger Catches As He Stoops To Recover Rifle Aft- er It Has Fallen An accidental gunshot added an- other death Sunday to the hunting tragedies of the season and deprived a young wife and two small children of their husband and father. Emro Ziegler, 29, a farmer of the town of Grand Chute, lies dead at his home as the result of the discharge of his shotgun while he was recovering it from the ground during a rabbit hunting expedition at the George Plamann farm. He died almost instantly after the shot had pierced his lung. Ziegler was one of nine men in a party which set out Sunday morn- ing to hunt rabbits. The morning was to be devoted to the hunt and there was to be a dinner party at noon at the Edward Plamann farm home. Others in the party were Ernest Springstroh and Artur, Edward and George Plamann, brothers-in-law. Edward Kubitz of Freedom, and three Milwaukee young men who were visiting the Ziegler families.
WERE SEEKING RABBITS
The hunters had reached a clear- ing at about 10 o'clock and had sent dogs into the brush to drive the rabbits from shelter. Each man took position on a stump ready to fire at the game when it appeared. Ziegler rose to a stump and as he did so dropped his gun. It slid down- ward between his legs. He reached down without stepping of the stump, took hold of the end of the gun barrel and pulled the weapon upward be- tween his legs holding it in both hands close to his body. The trigger caught on a projection of the stump or in the weeds or stubble around it just as the muzzle had reached a position below the lungs. It went off and the shot pierced a lung, severing one of the main arteries from the heart. Companions rushed to the man's aid and one of them started for the farmhouse to summon medical aid. He uttered a cry, "I'm shot the heart," and died in the arms of his friends.
APPLETON COUPLES SON
The gun victim is a son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Ziegler, 952 Lawe-st and is a nephew of G. D. Ziegler. president of the Aid Association for Lutherans. He leaves a widow and two children, Carl. 5. and Gerald. 2. He is survived also by four brothers. Walter, Green- ville; Arthur and Hebert. Appleton; Edward. Center. He had operated his present farm for about seven years. Funeral services will be held at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the home in Grand Chute, and thereafter at St. Paul Lutheran church. Free- dom. The Rev. G. A. Dettmann will be in charge. Burial will be made in St. Peter Lutheran cemetery.

Bernice Selma Martha Neumann, 96, was called to her heavenly home on December 31, 2015, at Brewster Village in Appleton. She was born on September 4, 1919 to the late Fred and Anna (Techlin) Wagner in the Town of Center, Wisconsin. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith at St. John Ev. Lutheran Church, in the Town of Center. On June 17, 1939, she married Walter H. Neumann, enjoying 40 years together until his death in 1979. They were blessed with five children.

She was employed by Valley Packaging Industries as a security person for 25 years.
In her earlier years, Bernice enjoyed attending her family members' sporting events. She spent many hours watching the Brewers and Packers as well. Growing violets was a special talent of hers.

Obituary:
Lola Jane Jahnke, on angel's wings went to her heavenly home on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, after a brief illness. She once wrote that "death can overtake us at any moment, that's true and we should believe that. So it's a good thing to know your life is in order, should it come." Those who called her Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, sister, aunt, and friend knew her life to be in order. With a faith larger than life itself, her legacy teaches us to "be good and love one another." She was first and foremost a mother, but played many roles throughout her life in the lives of others as a care-provider, seamstress, and volunteer with her church family. Family and friends were everything to Lola and she embraced life with great joy. Her personal and spiritual writings will be treasured for many years to come. Words cannot express how deeply she will be missed. Born on February 23, 1926, to Edward and Linda (Plamann) Ziegler in the town of Center, the third oldest of ten, Lola grew to appreciate the rewards of family.
Surviving are June Maass (Wallace)-Seymour; Phillip (Bev)-Appleton, Don-Appleton; Ken (Lorraine)-Appleton; and Fred-Shawano.
Besides her parents, Lola was preceded in death by brothers Robert & LeRoy and sisters Carol & Janet.
Lola married Floyd J Jahnke on January 20, 1946. She was the mother of eleven children and "delighted" in nurturing all her family right up to the time of her death. She modeled love of family and life in Christ to each of them.
Lola is survived by ten children/spouses, 26 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Her children are: Bruce (Marge) -- Appleton; Carla Brawner -- Green Bay; Earl ( Mary) -- Cadott; Kristine Vanden Heuvel (Jeff )- Wausau; Diane Dietzler (Mark ) -- Kimberly; Randall -- Sherwood, Barbara Merckx (Kevin) -- Kimberly, Ida Johnston (Mark) -- Los Altos Hills, CA; Charles (Jennifer) -- Kimberly; and Ted -- Kimberly. The youngest, Phillip preceded her in death -- what a glorious reunion!

David Ziegler "Ziggie" Please help us celebrate the life of David, who went to heaven on Tuesday, February 18, 2014, just 13 days short of his 69th birthday. God took Dave to be with his "buddy" and father-in-law: Harold, to a place where there is no more knee pain, dripping nose, or COPD. David loved four wheeling, deer hunting, wood crafting, gardening, long drives, vacationing up North, cooking, game shows, and watching westerns, especially Blazing Saddles. David had great math and drawing skills which he would use to make almost anything he had in his mind. David mostly loved being with his family, friends, and the puppies. We will truly miss this great man, loving and protecting husband and father, and the "go to guy." Many wonderful memories and laughs will be cherished and never forgotten from the stories that Dave told, all ending with "the whole ball of wax."
Survivors include his wife of 25 years, Cheryl; and the girls: Zoie and Shilo; a son: Chad (Dawn); step grandson: Levi; daughter: Nikki; granddaughter: Aria; step granddaughter: Desiree; sister: Shirley Stevens; sisters- and brothers-in-law: Karlene Ziegler; Robert Yandre, Ronnie (Sharon) Nollenberg, Connie (Dennis) Hedtke, Debra Geiger, and Tina (Scott and Elise) Wagner; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Appleton High School Class of 1939

Obituary:
Ruth Louise Schroeder Freiburger of Appleton, aged eighty-nine, passed away August 10 at Anderson Hospice in Madison after a brief illness. She was born in the Town of Center on December 4, 1920, to William and Laura Schulze Schroeder. She was baptized in a German service, December 26, 1920, at Trinity Lutheran Church by the Rev. Emil Redlin. Her sponsors were her Grandpa Charles Schroeder, Grandma Louise Schulze and Aunt Alma Beyer. She and her parents were joined by her sisters Marie Emma, Arline Grace, a brother William C., sisters Muriel Marian and Ila Mae and finally by Robert Elmer. Her parents farmed in the Town of Center until 1947.
Ruth attended Hillsdale School, along with many of her cousins, about a half-mile from home, where she received a grade school education and helped to stoke the wood stove. Her education took only six years as she skipped second grade and passed the high school entry exam while in seventh grade. She graduated from Appleton High School and has attended many recent reunions. Ruth continued her education at Outagamie Rural Normal in Kaukauna for two years to become a licensed teacher, then took her first job at Cicero Graded School where she taught the first four grade levels. At a teachers meeting she met John Peter Freiburger of New London. They had their first date on Sunday, December 7, 1941. Both the Second World War and their relationship started that day, both lasting a long time and turning out well in the end. Ruth and John were married June 30, 1945, and honeymooned on Long Island at the home of John's brother George Freiburger. They returned to Wisconsin to live in Chilton where they spent the next thirty-three years, making hundred of friends. A son Steven was born September 27, 1946, and a daughter, Beth Ellen, June 4, 1950. Ruth edited the Chilton Times Journal, was stringer and photographer for several papers and then began teaching at New Holstein in 1955. She earned a B.A. at UW-Oshkosh and became the federal Title I and Title II grant administrator for the New Holstein School District.
She was instrumental in raising funds for a hospital for Chilton, ran the hospital gift shop for many years and helped organize the Chilton American Field Service chapter to bring international students to the schools. She organized a women's basketball league, played tennis, bowled and played golf for many decades. She loved to play bridge, a game she played competitively until a few weeks ago. John and Ruth moved to Florida in 1978 when they both retired. She continued her community work as president of LaSertoma, a library organizer and volunteer teacher at St. Anthony's School. Upon John's death, Ruth returned to Appleton where she has resided at the Touchmark retirement community for the last five years.
Ruth is survived by her children, Steven (Betsy) Freiburger of Fitchburg and Beth Schroeder (Brian Washburn) of Newton, Massachusetts, and granddaughter Therese of Park City, Utah. She is also survived by her sisters Arline Dabill of Neenah and Ila Mae Hanson of Greenville and her brother William Schroeder of Appleton.
She was preceded in death by her husband John, her parents and a brother Robert and sisters Muriel and Marie.
Ruth lived her life with a lively intelligence, with grace, hospitality and community service. She was blessed with a large extended family, which came to include cousins, nieces, nephews and their children, many of whom took the time to visit her in her retirement and gladden her days. We will miss her store of memories, card games and brandy old-fashioned sweets, but rejoice that she had so many days with us, if through tears.
Visitation will be Sunday, August 15 from 2 to 5 at Valley Funeral Home, 2211 North Richmond St., Appleton. Visitation will also be at St Mary's Church, 312 S. State Street, Appleton, from 10 to 11 with a service at 11 on Monday, August 16.
Memorials will be given to The Hickory Knoll Fund, a 501C3 charitable organization run by her family, to continue her work in education.

Obituary:
Appleton - William C. Schroeder Jr., 91, , of Appleton, WI and Spring Hill, FL, died January 17, 2018 at his home in Spring Hill, FL. Bill was born on April 2, 1926, on the family farm, in the Town of Center to the late William and Laura (Schulze) Schroeder. Bill spent his childhood on his parent's farm and attended the local one room school house, through eighth grade. Always ambitious, he worked for his father during the day, but had permission to use the tractor at night to earn extra income working for neighbors. Bill was a veteran of the Korean War and while stationed for part of his duty in Alaska, developed an interest in modular housing. After demobilization, his father joined him in Schroeder Enterprises and they constructed homes together. Looking for new opportunities, he ventured into a little company called Valley Packaging which had begun as a "sheltered workshop". Bill developed Valley Packaging into a highly successful employer through innovation and strong salesmanship, enriching hundreds of lives by providing meaningful employment for both disabled and abled bodied workers.
In his spare time and after retirement Bill loved to be outdoors, be it fishing, hunting or just watching the wildlife around his homes. His other enjoyments were playing cards and of course his 5 o'clock toddy.
Bill will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Menji and his children: Sharon, Jacob and Maria; sister Arline (Schroeder) Dabill; Nieces, Nephews, Great Nieces, Great Nephews, cousins and close friends.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents. sisters: Ruth (John) Freiburger, Muriel (Alvin) Holz, Marie Angell and Ila (Dean) Hanson; a brother Bobby Schroeder; a brother-in-law Dave Dabill and his former wife Denie (Midreain) Schroeder.

Kristine Marie (Kussow) Meulemans, 44, Wrightstown, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 17, 2015 at her home following a courageous 8 year battle with cancer. She was born April 3, 1971 in Green Bay, daughter to Norbert and Elizabeth "Betty" (Nettekoven) Kussow. She graduated from Wrightstown High School in 1989 and received her Associate Degree from NWTC.

She also loved traveling, especially to the beach. The sun helped her feel better and made her smile.
Kris brought joy to everyone. Her smile and love for others was contagious and everybody loved being around her. Kris always looked for opportunities to help others, even until the end. Kris' greatest joy was being a Mom. She loved her children and cherished spending time with them.
