Biography:
Wolfgang Pritzl (1844-1902) Wolfgang arrived in New York in May of 1868. He filed an intention for citizenship on 6 Nov. 1876. On the 1880 census index he was listed as being born in Oesterich (Austria). His wife Franciska Lemberger was listed as being born in "Bauern", . Their first four children are also listed. Residence is listed as Brillion, Wisc. Calumet county. Wolfgang's brothers also emigrated to America, Frank in May 1872, Anton in June 1871, and Michael in 1867. Why did they emigrate?? Maybe the history of the area will give us a probable cause, but unless some definite facts are uncovered, we will never be 100% sure. The following narratives gleamed from the writings of Don Zipperer and Rev. Bernard Meyer gives us some background into the why. Bohemia was part of the Austrian Empire during the time of our ancestor emigration. Germany was the official language in Bohemia the language of government, churches, schools, etc.. It wasn't until about 1870 that the Czech language was allowed to be taught in the University of Praque. In the 1860's and 1870's Czech-speaking Bohemians only then began to gain recognition as citizens with rights equal to those enjoyed by the German-speaking Bohemian citizens. History books tell us that laws were being passed during this time to make Czech the official language of any city, town, church or school where the majority of people where Czech. The Czech-speaking Bohemians had fought a class war with their German-speaking Bohemian countrymen and slowly, over the next several decades made Bohemia completely Czech. One of the immediate results of the changes going on in Bohemia was mass emigration,- - to Germany, America, or to any place where the German-speaking people could live, bring up their children and speak their native language. In 1918, after World War I, Bohemia became part of Czechoslovakia. Then after World War II, around 1950, the Russians took Czechoslovakia behind the Iron Curtain. The residents of border towns were forced to leave their homes, simply because they were too close to the border of the Free World. Throughout Bohemia and the rest of Czechoslovakia, German- speaking citizens were actually allowed to leave Bohemia. The Czeches had been fighting a class war with their German countrymen, a struggle to rise above second-class status, for decades. Whether the refugees of the late 1940's went to Bavaria, immediately west of Bohemia, Austria or some other German-speaking land, they had to leave their homes and nearly all of their belongings and, empty-handed, begin anew as strangers in different lands with different customs. The refugees also lost touch with their Bohemian friends and neighbors. Some families, that then still had relatives living in the vicinity of Hirschau, Taus, Friedrichsthal or Ploess, could not know where the others resettled. In the 1950's, some Meyer cousins who had left Bohemia and settled in Bavaria wrote to their relatives in the U. S. and told them that the Czech-speaking people badly mistreated the German-speaking populace in Bohemia. So our ancestors were better off leaving Bohemia when they did. It should also be noted that, although these 1940's refugees from Bohemia had learned German in school, their spoken language would have been somewhat different from that of the Bavarians, Austrians and other West Germans. Their customs were different enough to make them feel strange in their adopted lands. It is understandable, therefore, that they longed to return to their homes in Hirschau, Friedrichsthal and other parts of Bohemia and prayed that circumstances would change so that they could be allowed to return again. One relative wrote that some of the 1940's refugees climbed a mountain in Bavaria near the Czechoslovakian border to get a glimpse of their former home in Hirschau, just a few miles across from the border. They saw what appeared to be "ghost towns" where their houses stood vacant, ravaged by the elements and by vandals passing through and thus allowed to fall into ruin. Rev. Bernard Meyer was ordained a priest 22 July, 1951 in Switzerland. He said his First Mass in Konigsberg, Bavaria where many of his relatives were living as refugees. Fr. Anton Kelnhofer, participated in Fr. Meyer's first mass. Fr. Kelnhofer's mother was Barbara Pritzl, sister of the four brothers who came to America. (Rev. John Pritzl, great-grandson of Barbara's brother Wolfgang, attended Fr. Meyers First Mass in the U.S.)

BIOGRAPHIE: Frank X. Pritzl (1874-1959) by Rev. John Pritzl
Frank X. Pritzl was born November 23, 1874, baptized November 29, 1874 in St. Ann's Church, Francis Creek, Wisconsin. Frank became a cheese maker. He bought a cheese factory between Thorp and Stanley, about 2-3 miles southwest of Thorp. The address was Stanley Wis. Rural Route, but the family belonged to St. Bernards Parish in Thorp. He married Mary Meidl in 1899. Mary, born October 4, 1876, was the daughter of Blasius Meidl and Maggie Weber. The Meidl farm was near Whitelaw Wis. All five children, Mayme, Frank, Louise, John and Arnold, were born while they lived at R.F.D. Stanley. The cheese factory and home were built in 1889 and the home still stands and is inhabited (1985). A new cheese factory was built across the road years later and the original factory was converted into a tavern, which burned down. A new tavern was built in its place. Because of his wife's health (tuberculosis), Frank sold his property and moved to Helena, Montana, arriving there April 9th, 1910. He had planned to take up a homestead out there but his wife was admitted to the hospital on April 15th, where she died the 27th April, 1910. Frank returned to Wisconsin with a corpse and five small children. Toward the end of 1910, Frank X. and his brother Charles bought the Koch Brothers Hardware business in Brillion, Wisconsin. Son Frank Jr., died in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Appleton, Wisconsin on July 4, 1913. He would have been 12 on Aug. 1st. Frank X. married a widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Melbinger Ziehr at Thorp in 1913. She died in St. Joseph Hospital, Marshfield, Wisconsin, on April 12, 1939. Peter and Elizabeth Ziehr had adopted a daughter, Regina, who became part of the family but retained the name Ziehr. At the end of 1919, Frank X. sold his interest in the Brillion hardware business to a younger brother, Adolf, and the family moved to Marshfield. After looking around for two years to enter another business venture, Frank X. bought an unoccupied business building on North Central Avenue in Marshfield and stocked it with hardware. The building had previously been Keels photography store with a skylight and photo display windows at the front of the store. This is the origin of the Pritzl Hardware store in Marshfield. Later this business was shared with his son, Arnold, who, later shared it with his son Gerald, now the sole owner. Frank X. died in St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 22 Oct. 1959. He had spent the last few years of his life at McCormick Memorial Home, Green Bay, Wisconsin. His brother Anton and his sister Louise also were at the McCormick Memorial Home before their deaths. Frank X. was buried next to his first wife Mary in the parish cemetery at Whitelaw. Mary had preceded him in death by 49 years. The funeral Mass was by his son Reverend John Pritzl in St. John's Church, Marshfield, Wisconsin.

Biography:
BIOGRAPHIE - The following is entitled "Introduction to Memoirs of Sacerdos", and written by Rev. Alfred Pritzl shortly before he died in Dec 1981.
My father's first name was Wolfgang. My mother's Franciska. My father had to take some ribbing because of his first name. They were good names in southern Bavaria (Germany). St Wolfgang was a holy and dedicated missionary who became the Apostle of Bavaria. That is why the name Wolfgang is found frequently in my parents homeland. The homestead, Hirschau, lay within 5 miles of the border between Germany and Bohemia.
My father was 18 years old when he migrated from Hirschau to Manitowoc County. My mother was 6 years old when her parents, Joseph Lemberger & Katherine Huber Lemberger migrated from Lamm Bavaria to America. They had a rough crossing. The trip in a sailing vessel took over 12 weeks. Towards the end of the voyage, water and food were rationed.
They brought with them a deep, solidly Catholic faith. That proved itself in the Catholic churches and schools they managed somehow to build soon after their arrival in blessed America. My father was a skilled carpenter. He and a partner built the first Catholic church in Whitelaw, Wisconsin.
Since most of the original pioneers built their houses and barns of logs, there was little to do for a skilled carpenter. He, therefore, bought a small farm (40 acres) a mile south of Branch, Wis. Manitowoc County. Between his carpentry and farming he tried to make a living for his growing family. Quite soon, however, he noticed that his plan did not provide adequately for his needs. He looked for a bigger farm. He finally settled on a farm of 120 acres at Kasson, Wis. Not all of it was fertile, there were stretches of swamp land. But for better or worse, this was it. Here we were born. Here we were baptized. Here we were born poor but the family background was a good one.
I grew up amidst humble surroundings, the youngest of 14 children. Two of these children (girls) died very early in their lives. Caroline, of a children's sickness at the age of 6 weeks, and Sophia, badly burnt. at the age of 2 years. Twelve of us, 8 boys and 4 girls, grew to adulthood.
At home we spoke Baierisch, a dialect of German. When I was 6 years old I was told to go to the public school, (the Bluff School), two miles distant from home. I was born Dec 26, 1895. In the spring of 1900, I was bundled up and packed off to school without knowing a word of English.
In those days we learned our English words from a chart. Our teacher got some surprising answers from me. Die Katz (Cat), die Kuh (Cow) and der hund (Dog).
The teacher, Ellen Luekel, was patient with me. Unknown to me, my brother Charlie, was dating her. I was a little surprised at the interest my teacher took in Charlie. One day, before school, she asked, "What is Charlie doing today?" "He is hauling Mist (Manure)". Later on, their dating brought them together in a good marriage.
I have wondered how I learned to speak English in 2 years and three months in the public school. I must have murdered the Kings English. I have no memory of that phase of my life. I can only conclude, that psychologically speaking, I did not want to be different than those about me who spoke English. Of course, there were others around me, in the Bluff School, who were in the same predicament as I, too much German mixed with English.
At the Kasson Catholic church, there was a great shortage of altar boys. Accordingly I was pressed into service at an early age. I was the youngest and the only server for several years. Thus it happened that I was serving for a funeral. Amongst the mourners, there were several of my schoolmates, Walter Tesch, among others, who saw me in my servers regalia. They teased me about wearing a kittl (skirt) in church.
In the fall of 1900, I fell victim to an attack of appendicitis. The cure, before anesthesia, was called the "hunger cure", no food for a week. That was Dr. Meyer's prescription, no food for a week, and then only small portions of pigeon broth. Believe me, I learned what a torture hunger can be. I learned why they talk about "the pangs of hunger". Somehow, I survived the hunger cure and the accompanying high fevers.
My stint of education in the public school came to the end in June 1902. My mother gave me the directive, "next fall you will go to St. Mary's school in Brillion, 3 ½ miles from home. You have to learn about the Faith. You are big enough now to walk the extra distance". I, however, protested bitterly. My friends were in the public school. The night the opening of the Catholic school, I cried myself to sleep. However, after a week I was willing to go to St. Mary's. I had made new friends, especially among the youngsters that lived close to the church at Kasson.
For 5 years I was under the devoted care of Sisters Pacifica, Gregory and Emily Wegner. Sister Pacifica was a motherly kind of person. She was in charge of the primary grades. Sister Gregory was in charge of the middle grades, and then there was Sister Emily- a work horse if there ever was one. She was a real educator. She worked hard and expected every one else to work hard. Later on, Sister Emily filled most of the high positions her Order had to offer.
I have little to confess about my school years at St. Mary's, except the long distance to walk to and from school- 3 ½ miles. It was a long trek, especially during May and June when the sun got heated up. Later on I realized that we had a solid education in all secular subjects and also in our "catechism".
One morning before the catechism class, Father Garthaus asked whether any boy or boys in the 7th or 8th grade would like to become priests. About 12 hands were raised. I was in the 7th grade. I did not raise my hand. Father Garthaus stopped directly in front of my desk and asked me, "Don't you want to be a priest?". "No Father", I answered. Father went on to say that he would start a Latin class. He told me to join the class. "It won't hurt you". So we had Latin class every day at 12:30. For a short while I joined the class because the priest said I should. After only a few weeks the class for the priesthood lost in membership until there were only two of us in the class- Tom Ryan and I. Fathers Garthaus' ambition dropped too, until I was the only one left. From that time forward, I had a feeling in my mind that I should enter a college for the priesthood after I finished the 8th grade.
In Sep. 1910, I became a student at St. Lawrence College, Mt. Calvary, Wis. The Capuchen Fathers were my teachers for the next 7 years. I liked it very much at Mt. Calvary. I made the remark one time, "These are the happiest years of my life". It was a true estimate of my life at Calvary-no worries, no cares. It was not the daily drudgery or studies, though we appreciated their necessity, that entertained us. We had our share of sports, dramatics and music,- both vocal and instrumental. My trusted companion was my clarinet in the band and orchestra. That is what attracted me, the music. We had a good band and orchestra at Calvary during the 7 years I attended there. Hubert Duren was our director during most of the 7 years.
The camaraderie of our classmates was phenomenal. My brothers and sisters were not nearly as close to me as were my class mates. There was enough tom-foolery and horseplay to take away all unnecessary pressures.
My studies took me to Calvary for 7 years for High School and College courses. Next I spent two years at the Grand Seminaire Quebec, and two more years of theological studies at St. Francis Seminary at St. Francis, Wisc. I got my M.A. degree there.
Life at the two seminaries was very good. I had a feeling to be serious in my studies because all of them related directly to the priesthood. My two years at Quebec were especially interesting. The language of the house was French. That gave me a wonderful opportunity to understand and speak French. Then too, they made me welcome, - all my fellow students were either French or Irish. We were in the middle of World War I. All of them knew that I was of German descent. They never embarrassed me by any snide remarks about my nationality. They were gentlemen.
At St. Francis, I had one difficulty. My studies in moral and dogmatic theology did not mesh or dove-tail. It makes me wonder whether it is a good idea to switch from one seminary to another as I was asked to do.
I faintly remember an incident of interest during my two years at St. Francis. Father Eilers was our Prefect. He noticed that I was very interested in music. John Phillip Sousa was coming to the Milwaukee Auditorium on a concert tour. Father Eilers told me I could go to the concert if I wished. I always appreciated Father Eilers consideration. The concert was a grand rendition of wonderful music.
In May 1920, the decisive day of Ordination to the subdeaconate came along. The question of celibacy had to be decided. One of the rare sleepless nights, before Ordination, was a new experience for me.
One year later, May 20, 1921, the great day of Ordination to the priesthood arrived,, with complications. The year 1921 was a year of "ad limina" visits for all Bishops in the U.S. Nearly all of them were in Rome. On the evening of May 19th, the news came that ArchBishop Messmer, who was to ordain us, was sick with a 103 fever. He manfully fought his way through the fever. Our ordination proceeded as planned and as advertised.This introduction leads me into the "meat" of this pamphlet, Catholic Chuckles. -----

Father Alfred was the youngest of the family and was ordained a priest in 1921 for the Diocese of Green Bay, Wis. He served in several parishes and retired in Green Bay. After a very short stay he died at a Rest Home in Manitowoc, Wis. He was the last of the family to die. A nephew, Father Hubert Kleiber, also retired in Green Bay, took care of the final affairs and funeral arrangements and died of a heart attack six days after Father Alfred died.

Obituary:
Rev. John Joseph Pritzl (1904-1990) by Rev. John Pritzl In 1910, the Frank X. Pritzl family had moved to Helena Montana because of Mrs. Pritzls TB. John was not quite 6 when his mother died. The family moved back to Frank X. mothers farm near Brillion and John didn't start first grade until the family moved into the city of Brillion in 1911. This put he and his brother Arnold in the same class. They both graduated from 8th grade in the spring of 1919. (Father John was class valedictorian). Father John started minor seminary (4 years H. S., 2 years college), at St. Lawrence, in Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin in the fall of 1919. The school was operated by the Capuchin Fathers.

Mildred E. Van Groll, 87, Green Bay, died January 7, 2008, at Brewster Village in Grand Chute. Millie was born March 29, 1920, in Reedsville, the seventh child and first daughter of Louisa (Pritzel) and Joseph Kleiber of Brillion, WI. After graduating from Holy Family Nursing School, Manitowoc, she married Harold J. Van Groll of Manitowoc on May 8, 1943 in Columbus, SC.
Millie will be remembered for her gracious and giving nature, as well as her tremendous work ethic. She volunteered for over 25 years at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, was a Unity Hospice volunteer, and a steady supporter of her parish, St Agnes.
Millie enjoyed singing, walking, playing Bridge, her church, many neighbors and friends, and of course, her beloved Packers. She was a woman of wide generosity, small stubbornness, and great humility. In her last months she enjoyed her children's and grandchildren's visits and the surprising gifts of each day. She seemed humbly unaware of the impact the example of her life had on others and would be surprised to know just how deeply she is missed.
Millie was most proud of her family and is survived by her eight children "The best kids in the world": Harry (Mary Beth) Van Groll, Mequon; Beth Spencer (Mark Peerenboom), Appleton; Dick (Lee) Van Groll, Sun Prairie; Jean (Tony) Palma, Greenville; Mary (Ron) Blakewell, Neenah; Tom (Cindy) Van Groll, Cedarburg; Kathy Van Groll, Appleton; and Chris (Tim) Klunk, Appleton. She is also survived by 16 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; her sister and brother-in-law, Lorraine (Al) Stachowiak, Milwaukee; a brother and sister-in-law, Jim Kleiber (Margaret) Green Bay; two other brothers-in-law, and three additional sisters-in-law.
She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; six brothers: Ray Kleiber, Rev. Hubert Kleiber, Rev. Richard Kleiber, Al Kleiber, Chick Kleiber, and Joe Kleiber; two brothers-in-law: John Van Groll and Pierre Van Groll; four sisters-in-law: Sr. Kathleen Van Groll, Laverne Kleiber, Marie Kleiber, and Tec Kleiber.
Friends may call at St. Agnes Catholic Church, 1484 Ninth St., Green Bay, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Thursday. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the church with the Rev. Richard Getchel officiating. Entombment will be in Allouez Catholic Mausoleum. To send online condolences, please go to www.Blaney FuneralHome.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to The Friends of St. Vincent Hospital, Van Groll Nursing Scholarship Fund. These memorials may be sent to Blaney Funeral Home, 1521 Shawano Ave., Green Bay, WI 54303.
The family would like to thank the staff at Brewster Village for assisting them in the care of this most precious person at the time of life when she finally had to allow others to help her.

Obituary:
Flags in the city were at half-mast Monday forenoon during the funeral services for Alfred Robert Pritzl whose accidental death was announced in last week's issue of the News. The decedent, son of Mr and Mrs C(harles) F Pritzl, enlisted with the U.S. Army in 1940 and at the time of his death held the rank of Staff Sergeant Technician at Fort Bragg, N.C. On Tuesday of last week he was granted an authorized overnight pass to attend a birthday celebration at the home of a friend, Russell Poe, at Bear Creek N.C. After spending the evening at the Poe home, he left early Wednesday morning to return to camp. He had ridden his motorcycle a distance of about four miles when he apparently failed to see a sharp turn. The motorcycle left the road and threw him against a pile of lumber at the roadside with such force that death was probably instantaneous. Thus this fine young man gave his life in the service of his country, leaving to mourn his departure the parents, one brother, three sisters, and a host of friends and relatives throughout the community by whom he was affectionately known as "Laddie". The remains were brought to Brillion by train, accompanied by an army "pal", Sgt. Tech. Lester Cook of Fort Bragg, N.C. who was able to inform the grieving family of the tragic circumstances of Sgt. Pritzl's death. On arrival here, the remains were taken charge of by members of the Arno Bloedorn Post, who conveyed them to the Luecker Funeral Home. A large concourse of sympathetic citizens were gathered at the depot when the train arrived. Funeral services were held Monday at 9:30 a.m. at the Luecker Funeral Home, followed by a Solemn Requiem High Mass at St Mary's Church here at 10 o'clock. Rev. Alfred Pritzl, an uncle of the deceased, was the celebrant of the mass, assisted by Rev. Peter Pritzl of De Pere, as Deacon, and Rev. Hubert Kleiber of Elcho as Sub-Deacon. Rev. Spillman of De Pere was Master of Ceremonies. The pall bearers were Richard and William Bartz, Leon Pritzl, Joseph Burich, Lyle Becker and James Kleiber. Burial was in St Mary's cemetery here.

Obituary:
Joan (Joanie) Janssen, 77, De Pere, passed away Wednesday, April 18, 2012 with her husband, Roger, at her side. The daughter of the late Joe and Renata Pritzl was born April 2, 1935. Survivors include her son Jim and daughter-in-law Debbie, De Pere; daughter Mary Thoele and son-in-law John, De Pere and son Steve, Birmingham, MI; and granddogs Charlie and Bentley; sister, Geri Bellamy and brothers, Ray (Mary), Cal (Beatie), Gordie (Alice), Frank (Jean) Pritzl, and many loving nieces and nephews.
Family, faith and friends were guiding lights for Joanie who selflessly gave to others, including delivering Mobile Meals, serving food to the homeless, baking, crafting and volunteering in support of St. Mary Catholic Church, Sisters of St. Francis and other charitable organizations.
She was a devoted wife to Roger for 54 years and the "Best Mom in the World" to her three children. Her generous heart, inspirational compassion and beautiful, welcoming smile made all who met her love her. She was talented and creative, a "comfort-food" gourmet, and all would vie for "Aunt Joan's" cookies and desserts at family gatherings. While her talents were many and her generosity infinite, she would take no credit for all that she did, saying "We're not living for our life on earth - what we do here is for eternity."
The most beautiful sunrise we had ever seen welcomed us the day of her passing. We know in our hearts it was Mom's faith and love shining through to give us strength - letting us know that she is here for us now - just as she was there for us every day of her life.
Friends may call at Cotter Funeral Home, 860 N. Webster Ave., De Pere on Friday, April 20, 2012 from 4 to 8 p.m. Visitation continues at St. Mary Catholic Church, 4805 Sportsman Road, Ledgeview, on Saturday, April 21, 2012 after 9 a.m., followed by Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at the church on Saturday with Rev. Patrick Beno, officiating, and Rev. Gery Meehan, O.Praem will serve as homilist. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.cotterfuneralhome.com.
One of Joanie's final wishes was to volunteer with Mary at the new food pantry to be built in De Pere. In lieu of flowers, memorials will be donated to help those in need. Joan and the entire Janssen family would like to thank the compassionate nursing staff at St. Vincent Hospital and everyone who sent cards and prayers, sending us "little slices of miracles" throughout this difficult time.

Obituary:
Penny A Pritzl - Writer and Musician Services were held Friday for Penny A Pritzl of Milwaukee, a poet, writer and musician, who was known for her love of nature. Pritzl died of cancer Sept. 27 in St Mary's Hospital in Milwaukee. She was 47. An author of three books of poetry and numerous articles, Pritzl studied at St Norbert College in De Pere. Many of her poems and articles related to nature and the outdoors. In recent years, Pritzl had written about illness and dying. A sister, Mary Simon of New Berlin, said: "Penny's favorite activity was to go out and admire nature. She thought so much of life. She did not say much about herself, but a lot about others. When she was in the hospital, she had a room overlooking the lake, and that meant a lot to her, because she loved nature so much." While at St. Norbert College, Pritzl led an effort to organize a coffee house, where students could hold readings and poetry recitals. Pritzl lived for a number of years in New Mexico. Pritzl is survived by a son Joel of Milwaukee; her parents, Lee and Carol Pritzl, Schofield, Wis.; two brothers, Tom of Sheboygan and Rich of Muskego; and, in addition, to Mary Simon, another sister, Anne Lutzke, of Irma. Services were held Friday at The Religious Society of Friends, 3224 N. Gordon Place. The body was cremated.
