Obituary:
Death of a Pioneer -Mrs. M. Kersten Passes Away
She Was a Resident of This County for More Than Forty Years and Had Hundreds of Friends
Christmas day brought with its joys its sorrows, also; for on that day Grandma Kersten, the venerable mother of Theodore and Henry Kersten of this city, died, at the age of 82 years, 11 months and one day. She had enjoyed good health up to a few weeks ago when she began to fail and finally answered the summons of Him who doeth all things well. Maria Kersten, nee Sieben, was a native of Germany, having been born Jan. 24th, 1813 in Frasselt, Kreis Cleve, Province the Rhine, Germany. She grew to womanhood in her native home and was married to Gerhard Kersten in 1841. Fourteen yeears after their marriage the couple emigrated to the United States and in 1855 located on a farm in the town of Woodville where they began the hard work that all sturdy pioneers of their day had to undergo. In 1864 they moved into the town of Brillion and in February of the following year, her husband died. However, with the assistance of her son Math, Mrs, Kersten continued to run the farm until 1876 when she came to Chilton and made her home with her son Theodore, with whom she resided until her death.
The deceased was a woman of sterling character, remarkable for her devotion to her family and her church. That she was a good mother was evident from the care and attention which she received in her declining years from her children and grandchildren who idolized her. She was buried on Monday from St. Mary's church, the services being conduceted by Rev. Fr. July, of Stockbridge and Rev. Fr. Cummane of this city. The remains were interred in the German Catholic cemetery, north of the city and all who had gathered to pay their last tribute to the dead felt that they had laid to rest a nobel woman and a true friend.

Obituary:
Word reached this city Tuesday that Theodore Kersten had passed away at this home at Crivitz on Monday evening, Sept. 14th, after a prolonged illness at the age of seventy-two years. The body was brought to this city by relatives, old neighbors and friends and escorted to St. Mary's Catholic Church, where Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by his son, Rev. Fr. Theodore Kersten of Meeme, assisted by Rev. Fr. L. N. Thelen as deacon, Rev. Fr. Geo. A. Clifford as sub-deacon and Fr. John Rollinger of Wausau as master of ceremonies.
The passing of Theodore Kersten marks the departure of one who for many years was a leading citizen of Chilton and was prominently identified with the advancement of Calumet County. He was born in Germany July 3, 1842, and in 1855 he accompanied his parents to America. They came direct to Wisconsin, landing at Green Bay, where they remained a short time and then moved into the woods in the town of Woodville. The family remained there until 1861, when they purchased a larger tract in the town of Brillion and moved onto the same. The father died in 1862 and the care of the family then rested on the shoulders of Theodore, who was the eldest son. He experienced all the hardships of pioneer days in clearing the land of the heavy timber and converting it into a productive farm. Money in those days being scarce, he spent seven winters working in the woods and sawmills of northern Wisconsin and Michigan, returning before seeding time to assist his brothers in tilling the small clearing which they had and doing other work on the farm.
His educational advantages were limited, but he managed to obtain a reasonable share of practical knowledge, his principal school being that of experience, and he steadily advanced in prominence. In the early days of the town of Brillion he was elected town clerk and held the office four years. In 1868 he was elected county clerk of three terms until 1875, when in company with his brother, the late Henry Kersten, he established what was known as the Germany Exchange Bank in this city. The project was a success from the start and Mr. Kersten was recognized as a shrewd, conservative banker and business man. In the latter part of the nineties the bank made some bad loans as the result of which it closed its doors in 1901.
The story of that period of Mr. Kersten's life and the settlement of the affairs of that bank is well known to The Times readers. Shortly after going out of business here Mr. Kersten moved to Crivitz and engaged in the real estate business, in which he was doing fairly well until some three years ago when he suffered a stroke of paralysis and he failed gradually until death, the past six months of his life being practically helpless, requiring the constant attention of his daughters and a nurse.
During his long residence in Chilton Theodore Kersten was a leader in all public affairs. He was also the recognized leader of the democratic party in this county and was well and favorably known in political circles throughout the state. He was broad minded and liberal, qualities which won and held the confidence of all men whether they agreed or disagreed with him in his views. He was a prominent figure in all political gatherings in the state and was honored by his party with the nomination for state treasurer, being also named for elector at different times. He was a leading factor in St. Mary's Catholic church for many years, dong much toward the advancement of the congregation since its organization in 1878.
He is survived by two sons, Frank Kersten of Marinette, Rev. Fr. Theo. Kersten of Meeme, and four daughters, Misses Mary and Hannah of Meeme, Mrs. Carl Swanson and Mrs. Frank Green of Cirvitz, also by two brothers, Peter Kersten of Brillion town and Math Kersten of Rudolph, Wood County, all of whom were in attendance at the funeral.

Theodore married Verkuilen, Mary Abt 1867, Holland, Brown, Wisconsin, USA. Mary (daughter of Verkuilen, Martin and DeGroot, Frances) was born 16 Jan 1845, , , , Netherlands; died 30 May 1888, Chilton, Calumet, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]

Obituary:
The death of Peter Kersten at his home in the town of Brillion on Wednesday, Feb. 7th, brings forcibly to mind of many of us that the pioneer settlers of Calumet County are rapidly passing on and leaving the work which they began to a newer generation. Mr. Kersten has been in excellent health until a week previous to his death when he was stricken with a severe attack of the grippe which he seemed unable to thrown off and a weeks' struggle with the dread disease resulted in this death.
Peter Kersten was born in Fransselt, Prussia, Germany, on Oct. 20, 1844. When a boy of eleven, in 1855, he came to this country with his parents, landing in Green Bay and remaining there until the fall of that year when they purchased a tract of land in the town of Woodville, this county. After five years of pioneer farming and clearing the land the father sold their holding and purchased a larger tract in the town of Brillion which until his heath last week has been the home of the deceased. Mr. Kersten had much to do with clearing the homestead, living on it long after his brothers had left and making it one of the ideal farms of Calumet County. He was both popular and prominent in his neighborhood and a well known person throughout the county, representing his town on the county board and showing a deep knowledge of civil affairs, the needs of the people and the advancement of his town and county.
He was married Jan. 23, 1872 to Johanna Eiting of West Hollandtown and their home was known for and wife for its hospitality. One of Mr. Kersten's leading characteristics was his attachment to his home and family and it earned for him an equally noteworthy devotion from wife and children. He was generous hearted and never failing when there was sorrow or trouble in the neighborhood and his friend could count on him as being true as steel. His sudden death is deeply mourned wherever he was known.
The funeral was held from St. Francis church in Hollandtown, of which he was a member since coming to this country, Solemn Requiem Mass being celebrated by his nephew, Rev. Fr. Theo. Kersten of Meeme, assisted by Rev. Fr. Vande Castle of Wrightstown.
He is survived by his widow, five sons, Gerhard, Theodore, William at home, Henry of Brillion and Bernard of Milwaukee, and three daughters, Mrs. John VanVreede, Mrs. Wm. Rolf and Miss Katherine Kertsen of Brillion Town. He is also survived by a brother, Math Kersten of Rudolph, Wood County.

Peter married Eiting, Johanna B. 23 Jan 1872, Holland, Brown, Wisconsin, USA. Johanna (daughter of Eiting, Bernard Henrich and Giesbers, Petronella) was born 21 Nov 1851, Holland, Brown, Wisconsin, USA; died 4 Jan 1926, Holland, Brown, Wisconsin, USA; was buried Aft 4 Jan 1926, St. Francis Catholic Cemetery, Hollandtown, Wisconsin, USA.

Obituary:
The death of Henry Kersten at his home on Lincoln Ave. on Saturday, Oct. 26th, marks the passing of another of the pioneers of Calumet County. Mr. Kersten had always enjoyed fairly good health until some five months ago when he complained to his family that he was not feeling well and the family physician was called. An examination showed that he was suffering from a liver complaint and a weak heart. He was able to be up and around, however, and but few of his friends knew of his serious condition until some five weeks ago when he was obliged to remain in bed. Since that time he gradually grew weaker until death came.
The deceased was born in Frasselt, Prussia, Germany, Aug. 23, 1850 and at the time of his death was sixty-two years, two months and three days. In the fall of 1855 he came to America with his parents who settled in the town of Woodville. At an early age he assisted his father in clearing the heavy timber from the land and experienced all the hardships of the youth of pioneer days. In 1864 he moved to the town of Brillion, where he remained until 1875 when he came to Chilton and engaged in the banking business with his brother, Theo. Kersten. Sept. 30, 1879 he was married to Antoinette Craanen of Bay Settlement, Brown County and was an ideal husband a a good and kind father to the four children that were born to them. In public life Mr. Kersten was always energetic, taking an active interest for years in municipal affairs. He was a member of the Hook and Ladder company for years, both as private and foreman, and for some years was chief of the department, taking great pride in making it an efficient body. Mr. Kersten was an excellent neighbor and never failed to do all in his power for any of his friends who were in trouble. He was one of the prime movers in building St. Mary's Catholic Church in this city and had been a constant attendant since. He was a member of the St. Joseph's society and Catholic Knight of Wisconsin.
He is survived by a widow, two sons, Gerard C. of Colby and Herbert of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. Wm Schabach and Miss Marie of this city. He is also survived by three brothers, Theo. Of Crivitz, Peter of Brillion town, and Math of Rudolph.

Henry married Craanen, Antoinette 30 Sep 1879, , Calumet County, Wisconsin, USA. Antoinette (daughter of Craanen, Christianus and Hooken, Theodora) was born 22 May 1857, , , Wisconsin, USA; died 12 Aug 1914, Chilton, Calumet, Wisconsin, USA; was buried , St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Chilton, Wisconsin, USA.

Family History Researcher:
Email
Jay Wilpolt, As I was digging for information on our branch of the Kerstens,I ran into your query for information on Garret Gerhard Kersten,the son of Theodore Kersten and Mary Verkuilen (who is listed inthe family records as Marie Verkuilen). Gerhard was my greatgrandfather and his name was Gerhard Nicholas Kersten. I suspectthat the census worker tried to come up with a anglicized version ofhis name, hence the Garret. My great uncle, William Austin Kersten,had put together a family genealogy in the late 1970's that tracedfamily members of the earlier Gerhard Kersten and his wife MariaSieben Kersten and their four sons. I'm in the process of digging
throughwhat records that I can find on-line and verifying the information. Our branch of the Kerstens migrated to California and I'm sorry to say that we've long lost touch with the Wisconsin relatives and there are many of them. I do plan on eventually making a trip to research original documents, but don't think I'll be getting there immediately. I would be very happy to share information with you if that helps you to feel in the gaps that you have. I'll start with Maria Sieben Kersten, born 1813 in Frasselt, Kreis Cleve, Germany. She died in 1896 in Chilton, Wisconsin. She had been living in Theodore's house for quite some time.
She was living there in the 1880 census records. Theodore was her oldest son and he relocated from Brillion to Chilton early on, while his brothers stayed with Maria and worked the farm. I can share the fuller story if you are interested. Theodore's first wife was Marie (Mary) Verkuilen who was born in 1845 in Holland. She died in 1888 in Chilton about the time that her youngest daughter was born. Their children were Gerhard Nicholas, b. 1868 in Wisconsin, d. 1913 in Oakland, Calif. and he is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Oakland, Calif. He married Louisa Rose Dorschel in 1887. She was born in 1868
in Chilton, Wisconsin, and died in 1929 in Oakland, Ca. The next son of Theodore and Mary was Francis (Frank), born 1870 in Chilton, Wisconsin. Then a daughter, Mary was born in 1872. The next child Henry was born in Dec. 1873 and died in Oct. 1874. The next son, born in 1875 was also named Henry. A son, Albert, was born in 1877. Then a daughter, Martha E.
was born in 1878. Hannah was born in 1881. Theodore was born in 1883 and was well known for his career in the Catholic Church, ending up a Monsignor. The final child was Anna who
was born May 1988 and who died in November 1988. Theodore's second wife was Elizabeth (Lizzie) Sieben, who was
born in 1857 in Milwaukee. They were married in 1890 and she died in 1910 in Crivitz Wisconsin. Theodore died in 1914 in Crivitz, Wisconsin. They had two daughters, Veronica who
was born in 1891 and Eleanora who was born in 1893. I still have much work to do verifying the information in the family produced genealogy and am due to go visit my cousin, Lloyd who has many of the family photos in his possession.
The family produced genealogy does come with some photos
(my favorite part). I hope that you find this information helpful and I would love to see what information you have found. I notice much is missing and I don't know if you have the state restrictions
that we have here or not, but am curious. I don't know what return address with show for this, I'm housesitting for some friends this weekend and don't know if their e-mail address or mine will show. My address is . My mailing address is Theresa Kersten, PO Box 72813, Davis, Ca. 95617. I would appreciate at least hearing whether this has survived your spam filters.

Obituary:
A telegram was received from Crivitz, Tuesday by Henry Kersten, informing him that his nephew, Albert J. Kersten, had died that morning. The young man, who was born in this city, on Jan. 28, 1877, was the third son of Theo. Kersten. He resided here from boyhood and for some time clerked in Dorschel's store. In 1902 he left for Milwaukee where he followed clerking for a time and later worked for the Milwaukee railroad. In July last he was married at Mauston to Miss Marie Pfeiffer of that place, and continues to reside in Milwaukee until some two months ago when through failing health he was obliged to give up work and then went to Crivitz. He was a young man of an extremely sunny disposition and made friends with everyone with whom he came in contact, either socially or in a business way and deep sorrow for his untimely death is expressed by his many friends and associates in Chilton.
Funeral services were conducted at the Catholic church at Crivitz on Thursday morning and the remains were then brought to his city on the afternoon train and escorted to St. Mary's church by members of the Catholic Knights, of which order the deceased was a member in good standing. After a short service at the church he was laid at rest in St. Mary's cemetery. Friday morning Requiem Mass was celebrated for him at St. Mary's church.
