4 246    KillaloeA post-town and parish, and the seat of a diocese, in the barony of Tull a, county of Clare, and province of Munster, 20 miles (E. by S.) from Enni s, and 87 (S. W. by W.) from Dublin, on the road from Scariff to Nena gh ; containing 8587 inhabitants, of which number 1411 are in the town. Th is place, anciently called Laonia, derived its present name, suppos ed to be a corruption of Kill-da-Lua, from the foundation of an abbe y, in the 6th century, by St. Lua or Molua, grandson of Eocha Baildearg, K ing of Munster, and which became the head of a diocese. Turlogh O'Brie n, in 1054, built a bridge across the Shannon at this place, which had gro wn into some importance, though little of its previous history is relat ed ; and, in 1061, Hugh O'Connor destroyed the castle which had been erect ed here, and burned the town, which was again reduced to ashes in 1080 a nd 1084, by the people of Conmacne. In 1177, Raymond Le Gros, after his tr iumphant entry into Limerick, came to this place, where he received the ho stages of Roderic, King of Connaught, and O'Brien, Prince of Thomond, w ho took the oath of fealty to the King of England. On Richard de Clare's o btaining a grant of certain lands in the county of Clare, this town, as co ntaining the only ford over the Shannon, obtained for some time the appell ation of Claresford. In 1367, after the recall of "Lionel", Duke of Claren ce, from the government of Ireland, who had acquired considerable trac ts of territory around the town, Murrogh-na-Ranagh, one of the O'Briens, m ade himself master of all the country beyond the Shannon, and destroyed th is town and several others belonging to the English. Gen. Sarsfield, in 16 81, posted a strong party at this place, to defend the passage of the riv er ; but having abandoned their post, the English advanced into the weste rn provinces ; and in 1691 the same general, at the head of a select bo dy of cavalry, passed the river and destroyed a convoy of ammunition on i ts way to Wm. III., then at Limerick.
The town is pleasantly situated on a rising ground on the western ba nk of the Shannon, near the noted falls of Killaloe, and about a mile fr om Lough Derg, and is connected with the county of Tipperary by an ancie nt bridge of nineteen arches. It consists of one square, and a principal a nd several smaller streets, and contains about 300 houses. There is a sma ll infantry barrack. A flourishing trade in stuffs, camlets, and serges w as formerly carried on, and two well-supplied markets were held weekly ; b ut both the manufacture and the markets have been discontinued. Above a nd below the bridge there are numerous eel weirs, which produce a strong c urrent in the river, and there is also a salmon fishery. In the vicinity a re some very extensive slate quarries, from which, on an average, about 10 0,000 tons are annually raised for the supply of the surrounding count ry to a great distance. A mill, with machinery driven by water, has been e rected at an expense of £6000, for cutting and polishing stone and marbl e, and working them into mantel-pieces, flags, slabs, and other article s, in which about 100 men are employed, and for whose residence near the w orks are some handsome slated cottages. A spirit of cheerful industry a nd enterprise seems to promise much for the increasing prosperity of the t own. Close to these mills is a yard for boat-building, belonging to the Sh annon Steam Navigation Company, whose head-quarters are at this place, a nd who have established a regular communication by steam-packets, for goo ds and passengers, up the Shannon, through Lough Derg to Portumna, Athlon e, and Banagher, and from Banagher by canal-boats to Dublin. The company a fford employment to a great number of persons in the construction and repa ir of docks and ware-houses. About a quarter of a mile from the villa ge of O'Brien's Bridge is the pier-head, where the steam-boats transfer th eir cargoes and passengers to a packet-boat, which is towed at a rapid ra te to Limerick, between which place and Dublin packet-boats ply daily ; t he trip to Portumna and Williamstown is beautifully picturesque. Below t he bridge the navigation of the Shannon is interrupted by a ridge of rock s, over which the water rushes with great noise ; and the appearance of t he town at this place, with the waters of Lough Derg in the distance, a nd its venerable cathedral rising above the bridge and backed by a fine mo untain range, is strikingly romantic. To remedy this obstruction of the na vigation, the Board of Inland Navigation constructed a canal through the b ishop's demesne, avoiding the rocks, and joining the river beyond the fal ls ; it has also erected an hotel, called Ponsonby Arms, for the accommoda tion of families visiting Lough Derg and its neighbourhood. This lake is a bout thirty miles in length, and abounds with beautiful and interesting sc enery, more especially in that part which is near the town ; the shores a re embellished with several handsome mansions, embosomed in luxuriant woo ds and plantations, and with several ancient and venerable castles. Pik e, perch, trout, and various other fish are taken in abundance, among whi ch is found the Gillaroo trout. Fairs are held on April 5th, May 24th, Sep t. 3rd and Oct. 20th ; and petty sessions once a fortnight. A constabula ry police force is stationed in the town.


THE TOWN OF KILLALOE (1996 Census, Population 972)Killaloe stands on the River Shannon, on the southern end of Lough Der g. It owes its origin to the sixth century monastic establishment of St. L ua, which first stood on a small island in the Shannon, about 1km. downstr eam from Killaloe bridge. Later the monks moved to more spacious grou nd on the mainland opposite. This monastic centre was called Cill Dálua, ( Killaloe), or the Church of St. Lua.KILLALOE remained an important centre for many centuries. In 1579, Sir Nic holas Malby, the Governor of Connaught was directed by Queen Elizabe th to designate Killaloe, Quin or Ennis as the capital town of the Coun ty of Clare. He chose Ennis.In 1650 Cromwell's army encamped for ten days at Ballina exploring a passa ge across the river. Thirty years later, King James's men marched throu gh on their way to defend Athlone. Patrick Sarsfield maintained a strong g arrison to defend the passage of the river. In August, 1690, he crossed t he Shannon with a select body of cavalry to destroy an ammunition tra in on its way to William of Orange, then besieging the City of Limerick. W ith the coming of peace after the Treaty of Limerick in 1691 the town beg an to take on its present day appearance. Most of the houses on Main Stre et and at the lower end of the town were built during the eighteenth centu ry. A distillery was erected at John's Street, about which Arthur Young wr ote in 1777 "The whisky stills at Killaloe trebled in five or six years ". Killaloe also had a flourishing woollen and cloth industry which employ ed over 150 people at five shillings a week. The two weekly markets wou ld indicate a certain prosperity among the farming classes in the second h alf of the eighteenth century. In 1793 the first Post Office was open ed in Killaloe. The nearest mail coach stop was at Birdhill. A foot messen ger conveyed the mail twice daily from there to Killaloe. In 1837 Killal oe consisted of one square, and a principal and several smaller streets, a nd contained about 300 houses. Above and below the bridge there were numer ous eel weirs as well as a salmon fishery. A spirit of cheerful industry a nd enterprise seemed to promise much for the increasing prosperity of t he town. The Shannon Steam Navigation Company had their headquarters he re and had established a regular communication by steam packets for goo ds and passengers up the Shannon, through Lough Derg to Portumna, Athlon e, and Banagher, and from Banagher by canal boats to Dublin. The company a lso afforded employment to a great number of people in the construction a nd repair of docks and warehouses. Below the bridge was a ridge of rocks o ver which the river rushed with a great noise. Many a Viking raider must h ave cursed this obstacle but the thought of all the plunder to be had alo ng the shores and islands of the Shannon would have spurred these hardy pi rates on. The Shannon Steam Navigation Company, however, constructed a can al through the bishop's demesne, avoiding the rocks, and joined the riv er beyond the falls. From there their steam boats continued down riv er to the pier head above O'Briens Bridge.In 1837 Lewis described the bishop's palace, Clarisford House, as "fine ly situated in a highly improved demesne, near the only ford across the ri ver into this county from that of Tipperary; the mansion is handsome a nd of modern appearance and, though small, forms a pleasant residence". T he representative body of the Church of Ireland sold the property in 1977.
During the famine years the town of Killaloe lost 191 people. Between 18 41 and 1851 the number of inhabited houses in the parish dropped from 1,2 53 to 920. In Killaloe 50 houses were listed as unoccupied in 1851, the nu mber of mud cabins fell from 38 in 1841 to 4. By 1861 the parish had lo st a total of 441 families.
In the nineteenth century Killaloe was described as being pleasantly situa ted on rising ground on the western bank of the Shannon, near the noted fa lls of Killaloe and connected with the County of Tipperary by a brid ge of thirteen arches. The falls have since vanished beneath the higher wa ters necessary for the implementation of the Hydroelectric Scheme.After the attack on Scariff R.I.C. Barracks in 1920 the Auxiliaries search ed the countryside for people suspected of involvement. They found three m en in hiding in Williamstown House. They were Alfie Rogers and Brud McMah on from Scariff and Martin Gildea from Galway. Micheal Egan from Whitega te was caretaker at Williamstown House and he was also captured. Two other s, John and Michael Conway were captured en route and all six were tak en by boat to Killaloe. The boat landed at the jetty of the Lakeside Hote l. After questioning in the hotel the Conway brothers were released. The o ther four were taken to the bridge at Killaloe around midnight where th ey were shot. A small concrete bunker can now be seen on the Killaloe si de of the bridge, as a reminder of this event during the Troubles.Today's Killaloe is no longer the capital of Ireland or Clare but it is st ill the water capital of Lough Derg and the southern limit of the recommen ded navigable part of the Shannon by small craft. The Shannon hydroelectr ic scheme created an artificial lake between Lough Derg, which acts as t he main reservoir, and the weir at O'Brien's Bridge farther down river. Ki llaloe is the most important boating and fishing centre within the three c ounties of Clare, Limerick and Tipperary. There are facilities for saili ng and a large marina. Hector Newenham introduced water skiing to Killal oe in 1956. By 1958 it had become a regular sport here and spread to the r est of Ireland. Today, fishing, cruising, boating, sailing, swimming, wind -sailing and water skiing are all well catered for, while all arou nd is a rich heritage waiting to be explored.

Hello , My name is Marian Gilbert. I had been searching for my family as the "Barenbregge's" for several years . Then I was contacted by Charlene Barenbrugge via Email on Ancestry.com.
She thought maybe the name was really Barenbrugge. She was correct.
She directed me to Franz Josef Barenbrugge on the farm in Germany, he connected me with Hubert Barenbrugge.
If not for Charlene I would probably still be searching for Barenbregge's.
I had a birth record for Bernard Herman Barenbrügge from the Church in Germany. Hubert looked at the records and told me that indeed we were Barenbrügge's.
Bernard Herman was my Maternal Great Grandfather. His father was Bernard Heinrich Barenbrügge.
Charlene sent me a note to let me know that if I would like more history of the family that I should write to you.

I would appreciate any information you can tell me, but I will understand if you don't choose to answer Email's from strangers.
Charlene has been an enormous help to me in my searching. She has given me lots of hints on how to search and where to search.
My G Grandfather Bernard Herman settled in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Reuber . Their Daughter Elizabeth was my Grandmother.
If you don't know of Bernard and would like to know his history in Pittsburgh I would be very glad to let you know about his family here in the United states.
I would love to know the history of the family in Germany. Stories about them photo's etc. I would appreciate anything you are willing to share. I have included my Phone Number , or if you would give me your number I could call you if you like.
Thank you ,

This is a pleasing little town, occupyi ng an ascent from the river, and consisting chiefly of one main stre et : in 1831 it contained 120 houses, some of which are neatly built. An e xcellent new and level road, which has been lately constructed between Kil laloe and Williamstown, chiefly along the shores of Lough Derg, passes thr ough the town. Here are extensive oil and flour-mills, and a considerab le number of coarse hats are manufactured in the immediate vicinity. Fai rs are held monthly. A smelting furnace for iron was formerly in full wo rk here. In the R.

Between 1795 and 1814, the Duchy of Luxembourg was one of the nine departm ents (Department des Forets) of the French Republic. At the Congre ss of Vienna in 1814, Luxembourg became a sovereign state and was assign ed personal union with William I, King of the Netherlands. As part of t he Kingdom of the Netherlands, Luxembourg relinquished its eastern territo ry to Prussia. In compensation, the Duchy of Luxembourg was elevated to G rand Duchy status.At the Treaty of London in 1831, Luxembourg ceded its western territo ry to the establishment of the Kingdom of Belgium. This western Luxembou rg area became Luxembourg Province, the ninth province of Belgium. The Ki ngdom of the Netherlands controlled Luxembourg until 1867 when Luxembou rg was declared neutral and independent. It is because of these bounda ry changes that Luxembourgers were thought to be from Holland or Fran ce or Germany. The true Luxembourger knew all along he was a Luxembourger .

I would very interested if indeed your Rupperts could connect wi th my Rupperts--especially if both come from Luxembourg. I have traced t he Ruppert back to 1700's to Peter Ruppert and Catherine Thil--ca 176 0. I know they had one son--Mathias Ruppert--it might be a possibility th at Jacob and Victor and Mathias could be brothers. Would do you know? Co uld it be possible for Jacob, Mathias and Theodore to be brothers--the par ents would have to be Peter Ruppert and Catherine Thil. Any Connection?

"When a band hits a groove and the audience is in the groove at the same time, there's a universal vibe that fills the place and it's very special," says Mark Wilpolt, mandolin player for Chico's Reckoning band. "And it's what we're all seeking."

About five years ago, Wilpolt and friends set about seeking that universal vibe by combining the lyrics of revered groove bands the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band with the musical stylings of bluegrass. The fusion is what they refer to as Dead Grass, and it's attracting Dead Heads and traditional bluegrass fans alike.

"It's fun to do because we're trying to do what we believe are fresh interpretations of the songs. We're trying to grass it up," says Wilpolt.

"It started out just as a lark," he adds. "I had an opportunity to play at a crafts fair and I said we were just going to play acoustic. And not only that, we were just going to play songs from the 'Reckoning' album."

"Reckoning" is the double live album released in 1981 by the Grateful Dead that includes acoustic versions of some original fan favorites as well as standards from the traditional American songbook, such as El Paso and Tom Dooley. "They're all songs we have played around the campfire," says guitarist Campbell Church.

Church and Wilpolt were once neighbors and note that other band members - bass player Paul Friedlander and banjo/guitar player Lloyd Foote - are all connected through teaching careers. Friedlander just retired from Chico State University, where Wilpolt still teaches math. Foote, who played in the 8th Avenue String Band, is a retired English teacher from Paradise. Church is active in his daughters' education at Wildflower Open Classroom, noting, "I have three daughters and have been charged with driving them around and keeping them fed.

"We've all been kicking it around Chico enough to have seen each others' bands," sums up Wilpolt. "The 8th Avenue String Band was one of my favorite bands back in the day so it's an honor and a privilege to be playing with Lloyd."

The concept of the dead grass sound goes back to the 1975 release of "Old and In the Way," a bluegrass debut album by a group of the same name, which included Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. "'Old and In the Way' introduced bluegrass to a whole generation of hippies,one of which was me," says Wilpolt.

Today, the band marvels at the diversity of people attending their shows. "There are many people that don't even know we're a Grateful Dead cover band and they'll come up to us and tell us, 'Those are really great songs,' and they don't even know the Grateful Dead songs," he adds.

While he'll freely refer to himself as a hippie, he's quick to note, "This stuff is not old hippie music. We find that people find that these are great songs that stand on their own and deserve to be heard. And it's great music to move your feet to. This is good old American music in every possible way."

With the mellow confidence of a long-time fan, Church adds, "Grateful Dead music never goes away. You can kind of get tired of it for awhile, but no one ever says that they don't really like it anymore."

After a successful series of summer 2013 shows in the North State on the True North Tour, more and more people are enjoying this fused sound. "Those were amongst our most memorable shows, playing in those small towns," says Wilpolt. Organized by the arts councils of each community, the band played Chico, Red Bluff, Weaverville and Redding.

Now, the band is on to venues such as the Ashkenaz in Berkeley and the city's Shakedown Street Festival. As for the future, Church is keen to play "more of those memorable shows." He sees the band learning more songs and reveling in "the feeling you get when those songs come together, when you get those songs right." He recalls the wonder of that feeling when, at the Chico World Music Festival, "We were joined in the middle of a song by Joe Craven, who came on stage playing his fiddle. I heard him before I saw him."

Lately, the band has been sharing gigs with Wake of the Dead, a Chico-based Grateful Dead cover band. " I see music as a community-oriented thing," says Wilpolt, "My ambition is to provide fun for people and to hopefully provide an opportunity to shake their booty a little bit."

21 3249    FERDINAND SCHUSTER and KLARA BAUMGARTNERThe spring of 1904 was auspicious for Ferdinand (1864-1912) and Klara (186 8-1955), the winter of 1903 had been especially hard and the new Conscript ion law passed by the Diet in Vienna, the capital of the Austrian-Hungari an Empire, a decision had to be made. Since 1894 Ferdinand's two brother s, Joseph with his wife Anna (nee Augustin) and Frank, with his wife An na (nee Poelmann) had immigrated to America (1894 and 1901 respectivel y) as had other family and friends from Furstenthal, settling on the hi gh plains of Western Kansas near Ellis.
The letters from family and friends who had immigrated earlier to the pla ce called Kansas sounded unreal, tales about the many acres farmed, the nu mber of cattle pastured, how cheap the land was, and any number of wonde rs convinced many to immigrate. Little was ever written about the cold win ters, the howling winds, the awesome storms or the many hardships these im migrants had to face. To Ferdinand and Klara, Kansas must have sounded li ke heaven, later they would come to understand the reality of life on t he high plains of Kansas.
Conscription (service in the Army mandatory for all adult males) was anoth er mitigating factor, the Austrian Empire was at this time was requiring i ts young men to serve at an even younger age, 16. Ferdinand had serv ed as a young man, it hadn't been a pleasant experience, although it was t here that he learned trade of a shoemaker which would later be of great va lue to him. Life in the Austrian army was hard, dirty and dangerous ev en without a war and Ferdinand understandably wanted no part of it for h is sons. Frank their oldest son would soon reach that age. To spare the ir sons they must be removed from this perceived threat.
Thus the Conscription combined with the lack of opportunity for their chil dren forced the question of immigration. The promise of a better life th at is the American Dream no doubt left little question where they would g o. America, the place where a family could grow and prosper, a place of u nlimited opportunity for all of their children.
Ferdinand and Klara set out for this Golden Promise in faraway Kansas Amer ica, just as their ancestors had left Bavaria at the beginning of the 19 th Century for the promise of greater things in a place called Bukovina. T hat they would follow their friends and family members to Kansas, made t he decision easier. Yes they were going to a strange new land. But there w as family and friends already there to ease the transition.
So as late winter gave way to the first signs of spring, Ferdinand and Kla ra sold or gave away what they could not take with them, and as summer ca me they said tearful goodbye to family and friends, gathered their seven c hildren, Frank age 14 (1891-1980), Mary age 11 (1892-1980), Theresia a ge 9 (1894-1978), Barbara age 8 (1896-1971), Stephanie age 6 (1898-1989 ), Paul age 3 (1900-1990), and Jacob whowas only 5 months old (1904-1989) and left by oxcart to the rail stati on at Radautz.
Their journey would last approximately a month and can be traced by studyi ng the old railroad maps of the era. A train from Radautz to Vienna, to M unich, to Frankfort and then to Bremen where the family boarded the SS Kai ser Wilhelm der Gross June 28th, 1904 bound for New York.The voyage was hard, especially for Klara confined to a single cabin wi th five children and a baby to feed and care for. All their food for the m ust be brought with them, according to Aunt Fannie (Stephanie) consist ed of bread, sausage, cheese and cabbage.
Few things were provided for passengers in the steerage, coffee and wat er was available, milk could be purchased but was expensive. The men wou ld join their families in a common room (Frank, because of his age was wi th his father placed with the other men in a large below deck dormitori es as was the custom) for their main meal which they could purchase but bo re little resemblance to anything familiar or eat what they themselves h ad brought with them. Decidedly the food available on the ship wou ld be foreign to a family used to making their own meals from the garden b ehind their former home.
A charming story is told about Frank as the Kaiser Wilhelm entered New Yor k, July 4, 1904, witnessing an Independence Day fireworks display, young F rank asked the ships personnel "Is there a revolution?" How astonish ed he must have been to learn that the skyrockets were celebrating the ann iversary of America's revolution.
The ship docked at Ellis Island on July 5th and the family began as many o thers the arduous inspection by biased Immigration employees that would al low them to enter America. The family would be five days on Ellis Islan d, Barbara had contracted an eye infection on the passage, which in itse lf would disallow her admittance into the country, before being allow ed to continue their journey to Kansas.
Frank in later years would relate a story about the prejudice encounter ed on Ellis Island. He told that on the ship coming from Bremen there we re 99 persons of the Jewish faith, 96 were turned away when they told offi cials that their destinations was New York City apparently the official w as to have commented that there were already enough Jews in New York.
Frank, was inquisitive as all young people are, not restricted to the cab in or common room on the ship or the close quarters provided on Ellis Isla nd roamed about. His innate language ability allowed him to acquire so me of the English he would need in America, which would stand the entire f amily in questionable straits on the train from New York City to Ellis, Ka nsas.
Nearing Chicago on the train, the family was extremely low on food. Fran k, who felt he had learned enough English to get by, was given some coi ns to find the family something to eat at the next station. He returned wi th what appeared to be a sausage, a loaf of bread, and some apples. Au nt Fannie would recall " That sausage wasn't what we were used to, it w as bologna and bad too, by the time we got off the train the next day in E llis the whole family was sick." Aunt Fannie remembered that on arrivi ng in Ellis there was no one to meet them as they got off the train, Unc le Joe and Uncle Frank lived on farms west of town and hadn't been certa in of the family's arrival. Mrs. John Weber, a cousin of her mother w as in town for supplies, bundled the family into her wagon and took them o ut to the Weber farm where she fed them their first meal in Ellis, Pota to Soup.
It was a hard establishing a new life for a growing family. Three more ch ildren would be born to Ferdinand and Klara after settling in Ellis, Cla ra 1906, John 1909-1983 and Engelbert (Bert) in 1911. To make ends meet Fe rdinand took work on the Union Pacific Railroad. Often gone for days, t he work on their rented farm fell to Klara and the children.
Aunt Fannie relates Mama was really upset when she saw what Kansas was li ke "There were no trees" she would say. Life was hard for Mama; the old er girls would help with the household chores and us younger children. B ut Mama was left to tend the gardens, feed and water our few cattle and mi lk our cow, Frank would hire himself to the neighbors for the extra mon ey needed for store bought things. There was always something she had to d o. Later when we lived on the farm, the wind was something she could nev er get used to, 'This will drive us all crazy' she would say. Accordi ng to Mama it was never so cold, or so dry, or so windy in Furstenthal.
"But she'd make the best of it, we were never hungry and always busy, we c hildren all had chores to do, but the bulk of the work fell to Mama and Fr ank. Mama was always very proud of the way she was able to manage."
Ferdinand and Klara would begin their new life in Kansas on a rented far m. By saving money earned by Ferdinand on the railroad and combining it wi th what they had been able to save before coming to America, Ferdinand a nd Klara in 1908 were finally able to purchase a farm 10 miles southea st of Ellis. (This farm is still in the family 82 years later, it is now o wned by Michael Schuster, the third generation of Schuster to be there.) S undays were a special day for the family. Even living ten miles out of Ell is, the town still provided their main source of social contact, their chu rch, St. Mary's. Sunday mass was required and there was much visiting do ne between the families of the parish after mass.
During the erection of the present church which began in 1909, the male pa rishioners of St. Mary's, which included Ferdinand, his brothers Joe and F rank, cousins, uncles and other friends from Furstenthal used their spa re time to assist in building of the new sanctuary. When the weather was g ood, the wives could be relied upon to prepare mountains of food which wou ld be laid out under the trees on makeshift tables along Big Creek after S unday mass. After the days work was done a country fair atmosphere would p revail. Uncle Joe could be relied upon to bring his fiddle, and cousin Fra nk had a Jews Harp, all those that could play an instrument were ask ed to play. There in the shade by the side of Big Creek watching their n ew church reach skyward, the families renewed their Bukovinian German Heri tage.In 1912 Ferdinand died. Frank, now 21 became the head of the family. Ev en Ferdinand's death did not alter the families' dream. They stayed on t he farm, growing wheat and raising a few cattle, attending St. Mary's a nd marrying and becoming an integral part of the Ellis community.
Frank married Rosie Aschenbrenner in 1921, Mary married Joseph Locker in 1 916, Theresia married Nicholas Kaiser in 1921, Barbara married Stephen Nem echek in 1921, Stephanie married Louis Locker in 1917, Jake married Elma M ickelson in 1931, Clara married Mike Zimmerman in 1923, John married Mar go Dreiling and Engelbert married Iva Withers in 1939.
Most of Ferdinand's and Klara's children stayed in the Ellis area, marrie d, baptized their own children and are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in El lis, Kansas.
Ferdinand and Klara's grandchildren now reside in Arizona, New Jersey, Cal ifornia, Colorado and of course Kansas.
Klara Baumgartner Schuster died July 3, 1955, 51 years after arrivi ng at Ellis Island.

by Gay (Ryan) Schuster.------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ----------------------------------------------Another Story...this one a letter by Mary (Kaiser) Conard to her niece Pat ty

Dearest Patty:Had a chance to get to town to do some photocopying...so here's a Schust er start.I wish that I had more time to write the stories as I did about Grandma 's house. Names are okay, dates are a bore (but essential, I've found) a nd stories are fun.
I also filled out a set of pedigree sheets for you. This can really get in volved for anyone who really does it well and with scrupulous accuracy, a nd I have tried to be accurate as I've copied. The typewritten family lis t-sheets I got from Fred Schuster's wife, Gay, who's delving into, fo ur or five intermarried families from the Furstenthal area. Word has i t, she started on the Ferdinand Schuster line and also Freddie Schuster 's mother Rosie Aschenbrenner (married to Uncle Frank Schuster, Mom's brot her) and found so many families intermarried that she went into more famil ies, and as a result the book she was hoping to get published is sti ll in the process. Since families keep adding, I doubt that she ever wi ll get a book accomplished. I dabbled in family sheets, but not living cl ose to where we have family or being able to visit frequently in Kansas . .. what I've done amounts to what it is...dabbling.
From what I can read, and here again lots I want to know, isn't translate d, the Schuster ancestors were originally from the Black Forest Regi on of the German Empire and moved to the village ofFurstenthal in Bukowina (Bucovina). (Bucovina means "Beech Woods")
Furstenthal was first settled at the bequest of Austrian Emperor Jose ph in 1803, German speaking settlers were originally from Pfalz, Hasse, t he Wertemberg Highlands, among others. The villages from which our ancest ors came are located in the Black Forest Region on the Bohemian Czech bord er. I Find Baumgartners and Schusters in an account of Bucovina in Apr il 1803, and listed with those who came from the area of the Bohemian Woo ds were names of some of the earliest among them; Sebastian Baumgartner, A ndreas Schuster and Franz Schuster. By 1808 we also find among the immigr ants from the Bohemian Forests; Josef, Ferdinand, Julius and Johann Baumga rtner. With my very limited knowledge of German, it seems to say that o ur ancestors were Craftsmen. I read accounts where some German Bukovina pe ople come to the area because they were skilled salt miners, and Grandma S chuster did say there were salt mines nearby. (She gave me and also Ro se a crucifix . . .about rosary size . . . she said was obtained of a miss ion held at the salt mines.) There were possibly other mines, as one of t he people with our ancestral names was a smelter, and there are stampers l isted in Furstenthal village census.
I base my assumption that our people were craftsmen with informati on from a 1822 censuslists and among the glassworkers in Furstenthal were Anton and Michael Gas chler, Franz and Jacob Schuster. Christoph Gaschler was a smelter. List ed under private handworkers and listed as cobblers were Johann and Micha el Schuster. As Village Justice, a Johann Baumgartner served from 1859 to 1888. I found others serving equally as long, so this did not seem o ut of reason.
Here again we have families living in villages, each with their own fenc ed in yard with house, barn, well, etc, as in Russia and the Alsace. He re again are solely Catholic villages and villages of other faiths…again m arriages to only ones of their own religion and "Komradschaffen" and fr om their own villages or ones of the same faith nearby. There was a sma ll exception to this. In both Franzfeld and Furstenthal lived other Germa n-speaking people who were Jewish. They stuck together on the fring es of the city (village). Jews married no one of another Faith or Cultur e. They were the moneychangers who had the taverns that only men frequent ed, they traded in grain and merchandise ... and sometimes in illegalit y. Jews and Catholics did not associate with one another, the Jews bei ng looked down upon here as in Russia. To this there was one exceptio n. . when their children were needed to make up the school rolls to have e nough students needed to receive money from the government. (This was giv en without interference from the government).
Village life apparently follows the European way. Cattle were herded in to the woods to graze every day by the cowherd who was paid by an assessme nt of all the villagers (Remember in the story of Heidi where Peter, the g oat-herder took the goats up on the mountain to graze each morning and bro ught them back at milking time?) Geese were tended to by a goosegirls in m uch the same way. Theresia did not say whether they had a swineherd or n ot but one was common in many accounts.
I don't know if all the little Furstenthalers went to school, but the litt le Schusters did by the time they were six, both boys and girls. The gove rnment gave money to the villages, provided there was an enrollme nt of 40 pupils for three consecutive years... this "might" have been an i nducement to have all available students in school. The government did n ot specify the curricula and each taught in their own language and accordi ng to their own culture. They studied usually under the village priest a nd a schoolmaster trained for such. Many times the church and school we re the same building. . i.e.…a room set aside in the church or eventual ly added on to, and in later years a building nearby. In addition to wh at we know as the 3 R's, they started to study Latin in the first grade . .. Latin was the language of the Catholic Church's Mass. Religion was t he 4th of the "R's", but first in the order of importance. Theresia said l earning English reading was comparatively easy for her as she'd learn ed to learn to read and write the German Gothic Script and the Latin Rom an letters. Boy! that's a tall order, as for as I'm concerned, for s ix or seven year olds.
In many ways, you could say their social life, too, revolved around the ch urch. Religious Holidays were the ones most celebrated. Lent was strict ly observed, Theresia said, with no meats and fasting every day for t he 40 days. We did not celebrate birthdays, nor was it customary f or us in Nick and Theresia's family to gather anywhere for Thanksgiving, I ndependence and Labor Days etc. These were days used for catch-up work be cause the whole family was home. We went to a Catholic School and were o ut of school on Holy Days, however no servile work was done on those days.In the yard, our Schuster Family had a cow, chickens, pigs, etc. in the Eu ropean way. Theircow went out with the cowherd each morning and back at night. Agricultur al Fields were outside of the village, as well as a large community garde n. Theresia referred to thunder as "God's Potato Wagons" going across t he sky, because thunder sounded like the potato wagons coming into the vil lage in the fall. There for winter-feed for the cattle, they planted co rn (or cane-type crops) interspersed with pumpkins. In the fall they wou ld gather the grains, then bind the stalks and put the pumpkin under the f eed "shocks". This they would feed the cattle over the winter. They fou nd it surprising when they came to this country, that Americans ate catt le feed... referring to the pumpkins. Theresia said the terrain was a l ot like Montana, but with the hills all covered with woods. Since the ar ea was "woody" they did not use twists of straw for household cookery.
Weather was apparently cooler, as it was not the custom for our Schuste rs to build summer kitchens (as it was among the Kaiser people) so it prob ably wasn't something they did in the old country. Later photos of hous es in Furstenthal also show no little enclosed porch like affair around t he main entry door as was custom in South Russia, so I am guessing, the wi nd was not as high and they had fewer flies. In both the Schuster and Kai ser's European cultures, the front gate to the family home area ... a lar ge one through which to drive the stock, wagons, etc. usually had an orna te archway, the large gate was adorned, and a little side gate that just a dmitted people next to this large one was also decorated. A rather asi de from the story is an oddity in toilets between my parents' culture. T he Kaiser toilets were usually a deep pit with the toilet "shed" on top. .. had maybe two holes, and a little lower one built on the side. When fu ll, the shed was moved. The Schuster toilet was a covered seat, one hol er that sat flat on the ground with a "trap door" in the back. Through th is it was often cleaned out, along with the henhouses, hog sheds, etc. ( In the old country each yard had it's "Mistplatz".. literally manure place .) Eventually this was all put on the fields and gardens. I doubt that th is was left long in the buildings, as it was Theresia's habit when I was g rowing up, to clean the henhouses once a week, and this had to come from h er "Up-bringing".
The Ferdinand Schuster daughters raised good gardens... Do you suppose th ey knew something, God given, that our generation, with its commercial fer tilizer, could learn something from? They were all scrupulously clean hou sekeepers. No bedbugs, lice, or dirty kitchen grease in their homes.
I digressed there, I'm afraid. Grandpa Ferdinand was the last of his brot hers and sisters left in Austria, Grandma once said. He wanted to come wh en they did, but he was enlisted as a cobbler in the Austrian Army ... I t hink this was a little like the militia, as in colonial days in Americ a. Military men drilled as a group in each of their villages in readine ss for whatever wartime action was asked, (or commanded) of them. He seem ed to be home, from Mom's stories, most of the early years of Ferdinand a nd Klara's marriage, Austria was not at war, and if it was, he most like ly cobbled for the army staying in the village. I would guess that he com es from a line of cobblers, because the name Schuster means "One who mak es shoes or footwear (shoemaker)." At any rate, he was afraid to apply f or passport out of Austria before his military time was up. There must ha ve been some unrest, (Mom said there was usually a lot of that ... with o ne ruler trying to gobble up another to fill his own coffers.) They final ly went to a Jew, who forged passports for the family for them to get o ut of the country. About the trip from Bucovina to Bremen, I have not hea rd anyone tell stories. Theresia said they had a little room on the sh ip and that most of them were very seasick, though Grandma Klara seem ed be able to take care of the young family of seven aged from 13 yea rs to five months . . . Frank, Mary, Theresia, Barbara, Stephanie, Paul, a nd Jakob. They boarded the "Kaiser Wilhelm" on the 18th of June in Breme n, Germany, and arrived at Ellis Island on the 5th of July, 1904. (Interes tingly the Kaiser's came also on the "Kaiser Wilhelm", embarking at Brem en in 1907 and 1908.)
They came to Ellis because that was where the rest of Ferdinand's family a nd other Furstenthalers had settled. (Another interesting note: Both Kla ra and Ferdinand come from relatively small families as compared to lar ge families that were general norm in Europe. Klara had one brother, Anth on Baumgartner. Ferdinand's brothers were Frank and Joseph, and his sist er was Franziska (translated Frances) who married Franz Augustine. The bo ys had large families, but sister Franziska only had three children. O ne possible explanation: Many times small families were the result when o ne parent died, and the other did not remarry.
In an old account about Ellis, I read where at first the European immigran ts settled like the European ancestors in small homes in Ellis and went o ut to the land to work it, though I don't know if by the time our Schuste rs came this was the case. An incident sticks in my mind. After Bob a nd I were married we'd visited, along with Mom and Dad at some of the Aunt 's houses in Ellis. Mom pointed out a gravel road straight south of Elli s, and at one turn in the road she said, "This is the first place we liv ed when we came to America." I asked, "You must not have lived there ve ry long?" She said, "No, it wasn't very long after that, when her Daddy bo ught the place where we called 'Grandma's House"'. I have no idea now whe re that place she pointed out to me was. I don't know if they just liv ed there, rented, or bought and sold.
I don't know if this is all, but some of the land is described as: N E¼ of Section 33 in TWP 13 S. Range 21, W of the 6th PM. Listed in book B B, page 12 in the County of Trego, State of Kansas. This information was c opied from a cutting... and I will go into this with another tale.
Upon Klara's death (at which time all her children were still heirs) the f amily decided that each of the others would sell their portion of the inte rest to the land to the youngest son, Engelbert. The others could keep th eir oil rights on the oil leases or sell them back. The inherited oil rig hts ended at the death of Klara's children. Theresia sold her's back to E ngelbert at the time Grandma Klara's estate was settled. So far as I kno w, there were no pumping wells on the property, though in 1939 a lessor br oke a 1935 lease agreement, and action to clear this was taken. Possib ly to lease to someone else, or to keep the rights in the estate.
To get to Grandma's we went East on Highway 40, turned South on the ro ad by the Riga elevator and to the North of Grandma's was a place called " Round Mound". It was a raised round area of earth, a landmark, as it wer e. I can't remember just how far we went South before we turned West (f or a little tad of a ways), then the yelling started, "I see Grandma's hou se first."
Stories aren't so profuse, and I've heard this expression more than once…" Tight-mouthed Schusters". As an example, quite a number of years ago, I w anted to start a genealogy of ourfamilies, and Mom said to me, "That's all past history and none of your bu siness." However, during the raising of children, they couldn't help but s ay some things to tell us just how lucky we were in our generation. In o ne case I was told that the older girls worked out as farmer's wife helpe rs of an early age. . Mom by the age eleven. This leaves the conclusion t hat they must not have lived in Ellis and gone to their land during the gr owing season. (The older girls received no more schooling after they ca me to America)
Cash money was always a need, and I've been told that Grandpa Ferdinand wo rked on the railroad. One of his jobs was to walk the tracks from Ell is to Riga and back ... out down one track and back on the other to see th at there was nothing ... ties loose, loose spikes or loose rail plates . .. that would impede the train's progress. On Sunday's he fudged a bit a nd the family would meet him in the buggy at Riga and he would ride back i nto Ellis, so they could all attend Mass together. Apparently it was t he family, not he, that did the farming with horses and lots of manual lab or.
Theresia once referred to her father as a complete autocrat. She, by t he time this story was told was married with children of her own, and I mi ght add that my parents weren't terribly strict as parents of some of my f riends. She had begun to work for a family by the name of Waldo in Elli s. Mrs. Waldo had given her a hat, and when they picked up Grandpa Ferdin and at Riga, he saw her wearing the hat, and ordered her out of the bug gy to walk home and get her shawl, because only fast girls went about with out their shawls. I asked Theresia if she did, and she said, "No, Mamma ( Klara) told Daddy (Ferdinand) that it was a bigger sin to miss Mass th an to go to church in a hat ... American women already did." By the way, a ll earned money Mom made at her household jobs in Ellis was turned ov er to Grandma Klara.
Grandpa Schuster died in 1912. 1 had heard that it was complications of t he flu, but in talking to Uncle Englebert he said, "it could possibly ha ve been cancer of the stomach, or the result of a severe injury. He had w orked placing ties on the railroad, and in the process someone hit him sev erely across the stomach area. In 1912, I don't suppose that there was mu ch a doctor did for you, but give you something to dull the pain. Grand ma Klara buried her man, when the youngest child was only nine months old.
What stamina these women we know as Grandmas and Great Grandmas had. I 'm sure this came from the Grace of God. I may as well add this thoug ht of my own, since I've had it many times -. . And the Apostle Paul, n ot withstanding, who said, "At the head of the woman is the man." . . . "She should pray with her head covered".. ."That she should keep sile nt in the church." ... "That she should always submit." My thought is thi s, that the older I get, it becomes apparent that it was the women in o ur lives both yours and mine, that were the true pillars of family. Th ey didn't "rule" with a velvet glove more like a warm furry mitten. Mam ma did not have to rule with a spanking or yelling. It required only a ce rtain set of her mouth or an almost discernable shake of her head. It w as your great-grandmothers, both Kaiser and Schuster that were the warp th at wove the fabric of the family, and kept it intact. Although I didn't k now my Grandmother Anna Mary Kaiser (the stories tell of her strengths ), I did know my Gramma Klara. There is only one answer as to why we floc ked around her at holidays, that she became such a cause for excitement wh en she came and stayed with us for awhile and that answer has to be LOV E, freely and openly given ... you knew it ... you felt it ... she never s aid it. We never had to be told to "kiss Grandma and hug her". We d id it naturally --- joyfully. We hung around her chair watching her croche t, or darn socks, or patch overalls. We also learned early that we were n ot to disturb her when she held her rosary or read from her German pray er book, because ... "Shhh, Grandma is praying."
I will insert this bit here, as I don't want to lose it among my note s. In a 1945 census of Furstenthal the name Schuster is no longer liste d, though there are a number of Baumgartners, Gashlers, Artmanns and Kuffn ers. In the upheaval during and after the Second World War alarge percent of German Bukovinans went to Germany under very trying circu mstances. Most of them that live in Germany settled in the Worthgau and Ea st Upper Silesia areas.
The Bukovina of the Hapsburg era (the era in which our people were ther e) has been describedas a model for a United Europe. Home of some 12 nationalities, none of wh ich were a majority.Bukovina inhabitants exercised a mutual toleration for the ethnic and reli gious differences of their neighbors. Bukovina, now a part of Romani a, is located on the east side of the Carpathian Mountains. From a topic al map by Dr. Karl Stump, it appears that the terrain is the type that wou ld be situated between flatlands and mountains. I would describe it, as ro lling foothills. Maps show that Furstenthal is located bout 50 km sou th of Czernowity, the capitol. (Present day name Cernovcy) Present day na me for Furstenthal is Voivodeasa. These name changes were made when the U SSR annexed this territory, which now lies behind the Iron Curtain.

Grandma Klara (Baumgartner)If you look at the picture of Grandma, she didn't change too much in loo ks from when the family picture was taken to the time I saw her last. A b it more stooped, and in later years the addition of glasses. She is weari ng the traditional black Sunday dress of married women of our European Ger man Culture. There is only one uncharacteristic thing about the photo . .. The quietly folded hands. I keep expecting to see a rosary sprout ther e, or a crochet hook or some type of work. She always wore long dresse s, and while the color and print and Fabric type varied ', the style was u sually pretty much the same. Button front bodices, long sleeves in wint er sometimes 3/4 sleeves in the summer with easy fitting semi-full skirt s. Collars were of a varying style, maybe a peter-pan, a square cut spo rt type and sometime a ruffled one. Usually, in later years, her Sunday d ress was of a silky Feeling fabric, the one I remember best was navy blu e, With white pindots, and oh, there was one dark green with white print t hat I thought the material felt so nice on. She loved sharp contras ts in colors, so her cotton day to day dresses were more colorful. Usual ly of a subdued background, but with bright tasteful little flowers or geo metric all over print. Long cotton stockings and sensible black tied hoe s. No dainty hankies for this Grandma. A big white one. What money s he carried, was tied in the corners. . coins in one corner, folding mon ey in another, and her black rosary tied in the third. She might have h ad a purse, but I can't remember one. I can't remember if she wore any ki nd of jewelry, though she appears to have a small pin at her throat in t he family photo. (A real Queen doesn't need such ... she's regal without g ems)
Her hair was waist length, which was parted in the middle of her head, a ll the way from forehead to neck nape, then braided in two long braids. Th ese were then wrapped in a coil, low on the back of her head then fasten ed with celluloid large hairpins and curved combs kept the sides neat. S he uncoiled the braid's to sleep, and took the braids down each morning a nd combed this all out as we watched in fascination. Even Uncle Engelbe rt cannot remember when she wasn't a short fat little lady. She would s it quietly while we played house games around her. One of the games we en joyed alot was hide the thimble. She and one of my sisters conspired a nd the thimble was placed in the center of that braid coil of Grandma's ha ir. It stayed there, while Grandma crocheted on. Oh! How the re st of us searched and searched, then had to give up. The thimble was in p lain sight, placed like a candle in a Christmas wreath, and how they bo th laughed.
By the time I was old enough to remember her well, she was already havi ng problems with her right hip, and always carried a cane. She always us ed the lowest chair we had. The rocker in her room, where she spent mo st of her life very busily working on some project, was low and armless. ( She spoke German naturally with her family, and how much we missed by n ot knowing the language.)
Grandma spent some summers with us while I was growing. Enjoyed playing S olitaire when she had no partner and Rummy when she did. Frances was alwa ys ready for a game of Rummy. She'd get Grandma seated facing the ligh t, then read Grandma's hand reflected in Grandma's glasses. They played f or "blood". I'd hear, "You -darn kid." from Grandma, and "You cheated." f rom Frances, when one or the other would "go out" and "set" the other wi th a large hand full of cards. I was always too chicken-hearted to play c ards. I couldn't stand to beat Grandma. I didn't like to always be beate n, so I didn't get the cards out. That she and Frances cheated each oth er to win, I'm nor sure of, but they accused each other of it often enough .
Another expression stays with me. . ."You haff not to cry. " Mom saw o ne of Rose's friends hide a pint of whiskey in the alley behind the dan ce hall. She told Rose that she could not go to the regularly held Saturd ay night dance over at the Zeman Hall. Rose didn't know why Mom was bei ng so "unreasonable" and, of course, disappointed, started to raise furio us objections and cry. There's no doubt in my mind that Grandma knew wh y, because Mom probably already told her in German.
Mom had a lot of responsibility, as Dad was often away the whole summ er at jobs, and Mom worked out a lot too. I 'm sure now that's part of w hy Grandma spent summers with us.. to keep us out of serious mischief, tho ugh we'd never have known that.
I remember well, Freddie likes to make things with a coping saw. He'd c ut out a teapot, fastened on a couple of cup hooks for Mom to hang by t he stove for her potholders. This was cut from the end of a fruit box. Gr andma set him to making one for her. He brought it in to show her, and a sk if it had been sanded enough to paint. In his excitement the thing fli pped out of his hand and onto the floor, breaking off the teapot's handl e. Freddy was just shattered, he'd worked so long already. The two of th em heated a nail and burned tiny holes in either side of the wood and glu ed in match sticks to hold the thing together again, and with a coat of bi lious green paint, Grandma went home with a teapot shaped pot holder ra ck in her box to hang by her kitchen range.
I say "box" because I can't remember her with a suitcase. She had her "'t hings" in a box. If she had a suitcase, I wasn't aware of one, because th at box was the interesting thing she brought with her. In there were brig ht cotton pieces she cut and sewed together to make quilt blocks. Croch et hooks and cotton ... she didn't crochet with "book written" direction s. She studied a picture for awhile, then crochet the object portraye d. At 72 she could still crochet with fine and every colored threads. We 'd ask, "Grandma, what are you making?" She'd answer, "I crochet for fass ar (bazaar)." She was a member of St. Mary's Mothers Group, comprised main ly of a group of older women who could no longer participate in the more a ctive projects of moneymaking for the parish. These ladies did their pa rt by making things for scale at the church bazaar. One summer she was ma king balls and Oh! how each of us coveted one. She made striped ones, a nd using two threads crochet together veri-colored ones. She would ta ke a jingle bell from a discarded toy, wrap around it old material that w as no longer useful for putting into rugs and quilts and around this ba se is what she crochets the pretty cover. There may still be one aroun d. There was one in Mom's dome top trunk that Frances inherited after Mom ma died. I suppose Mom kept it to use for a pattern, or more likely we g ot to fighting over it, and she took the noise as long as she could and co nfiscated it.
I had almost forgotten about it, when after Mom died, Frances and I were t alking about Mom's wedding dress, and she said, "You've still got it." I s aid, "No, it should still be in Mom's trunk." We were at a lull time betwe en cow chores, and I said, "it must be, have you looked?"' Frances got t he key and we went to the basement to open the (now her's) trunk. The fir st thing she saw was that little ball. She picked it up and hugged it to h er. At that moment the memories came flooding back ... I couldn't begrud ge her that little treasure. She and Leroy had sacrificed so much to ca re for Mom, and Mom gave her the trunk and its contents. I write this n ow to preserve the memories ... many more are probably tucked away in obje cts in the inside of that trunk... Yes, the wedding dress was still there.
For "Fassar" she also made the three-piece chair sets ... the kind that a re placed on over-stuffed furniture to protect the arms and back rests, bu ffet sets, doilies, fancy pin cushions and novelties of all sorts for sal e. For her own house and for family she also tore up old clothing and croc het sturdy rag rugs.... round ones, oblongs, hexagons. Her favorite rug ho ok was one Uncle Jake (her son) fashioned from some very heavy wire, wo rn smooth as silver from hours of use. You can tell which granddaughters s he taught their first crochet stitches. She carried her hook under her pal m, as opposed to the modern crochet learning books that use the hook he ld like a pencil. ..over the palm. I can't recall that she did much embroi dery, though I know she finished a lot of our summer tea towel and hank ie projects we too soon dropped for other pursuits.
She taught us simple pastimes, like using a piece of string tied in a lo op and manipulating this till it seemed almost hopelessly snarled, then o ne loop over the finger, one tug and it was off your hand ... how to ma ke shadow animals on the wall, both in the lamplight and in the light comi ng from the window on the floor. How to play jacks with stones and a larg er rock. You really had to be fast, for a rock didn't bounce.
Sunday she spent with her prayers, perhaps a nap and reading her German ne wspapers that she brought with her ... I think it was called, "Familienbla t". When we'd ask her to sew doll clothes on Sunday, she told us, "What y ou sew on Sunday, the devil will make you rip out with your nose." A beaut ifully quaint way of saying, "Sewing is considered servile work. If y ou do this on Sunday, you can expect to go to hell for not keeping the Lor d's day Holy."
She liked flowers. I can still see her bending over tie 4 o'clocks picki ng seeds from the plants of the color she liked', and tying these see ds in a little square of cloth. I now can't look at a 4 o'clock without h earing her say, "The seed looks like rat shit." Maybe t hat's how she reme mbered what every seed bundle she made. How she ever did is a mystery, f or I can't remember her marking anything.
She didn't often cook at our house, but some of the things she did, I'll t ry to put down. I remember the strudel only once. She instructed Mom on h ow to put the dough ingredients together, then she and Mom put the dou gh on the table over clean cloths, and she and Mom put their hands under t he dough, and stretched and stretched until it was paper thin, and cover ed the whole table. Then they sliced apples very thin, mixed with cinnam on and sugar, and spread this all over the top. They used the cloths to r oll this together, much like a cinnamon roll is done ... baked... and Pres to! Food for the Gods. There was my favorite "Kaas Perogi" (Or Kess Knap hala, as the Kaiser's say). Flour mixed with egg to produce something li ke cut noodle dough rolled out in a large sheet. This was cut into abo ut 4x4 inch squares. A mixture of dry cottage cheese, eggs and salt was p ut in the center of the squares by rounded teaspoonful, then these squar es were sealed into triangular packets, boiled until the noodle dough w as done, drained and put in a large hot iron skillet in which was bacon gr ease or butter and gently turned over and over until all was deliciously c oated. Cut up leftovers with beaten egg over them were a treat too. Rose 's favorite was "Dawchala" It was simply grated potatoes with a little flo ur mixed in and put on a hot griddle until both sides were a golden brow n, then served with a smearing of thick sour cream. Grandma would stand a nd grate potatoes and fry Dawchala until we were stuffed like toads. Of c ourse, there was " Halushas". ...stuffed cabbage leaves. I didn't like th em, but everyone else did. Grandma could cut egg noodles as thin as a thr eat that went into chicken soup, and I might add here that everything on t he chicken was used, but the bill, talons, feathers and comb. The head w as cleaned of feathers and combs. .(and eyes) and the head boiled along wi th the rest. The feet were scalded, the yellow heavy skin taken off, talo ns removed ... and into the pot. These latter, I really liked. There was n't much there, but tasty nonetheless. Nobody knew about carcinogens, chol esterol etc. nor did we care. We ate it because it was put before us . .. a supper of watermelon and bread would shock the pants off a nutritioni st today.... as would a breakfast of coffee with lots of cream (or boil ed milk) and apple butter on bread, but those were things we liked and enj oyed to the fullest.Bob and I went to her house to invite her to our wedding, and she said, "W hen I feel good, I come." I secretly hoped she might, but when Uncle Paul 's car came and she wasn't with him, was sorely disappointed. She did s ee two of our three children.Bob found me one Monday noon, standing in the middle of the kitchen wi th a "weekenddelayed" telegram that said, "Grandma Schuster passed away this morning, F uneral Tuesday." Attached to this was a note that read, "The Western Uni on at Helena tried to call this telegramto you during the weekend, but due to the fact that the phone exchange o ut here (Danvers) was closed, they were unable to relay it to you."
Maybe it was just as well that I was not there to see her one last time. .. She lives on; in these words I have placed on paper, perhaps for you . .. I know that she does in my memories of this beautiful lady God ga ve me to call, "Grandma".

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -----------------------------------------------------------
Go to Grandma's house." You didn't have to be asked twice. Always on Chri stmas and Easter. We'd top the rise, and, it never failed . . ."I see Gran dma's house first. " Then an argument about who did, all the way to the ya rd.
You entered at the door of the screened in porch, each carrying somethi ng for the celebration. Straight-ahead was the door into the house…to t he right was the porch swing. It must have been worn thin by the time we w ere all grown. To the left was a door, but that lead to Uncle Paul's roo m, and no one ever went through that door.
Though the main door and to the right was a big table, with chairs arou nd and a bench on the backside. Behind the bench was the double window wi th a stand in front where Grandma kept her "cheranies" (geraniums). In t he corner was the radio and lots of reading, including pulp cowboy and det ective magazines. Also, a kerosene lamp. Immediately to the left of the r adio corner was the door that led to the second story stairs. "Off Limits ." Now going around the rest of the room; the kerosene stove sat against t he stairwell wall. Then the pantry door... inside all sorts of nice spi cy smells. On the west wall was the big kitchen range and Grandma's bedro om door. On the South wall was the kitchen cabinet, to the left of whi ch stood the washstand with waterbucket and basin. A truly large and invit ing room.
Grandma's Room… Wide open as her heart to her "kids" of all ages. She w as always in her rocker at the North window. Her bed to the right of t he rocker. I suppose some chests of drawers.... there were her trunk s. A small stove back to back with the kitchen range in the kitchen, thou gh I don't remember a fire in it at any time I was there. . . and the wind -up Victrola with records. My Favorite--"The Big Rock Candy Mountain." Ir onic as it may seem, some years later I married a man who liked the song t oo as a kid ... only he simply called it, "The Bum Song". Just the ki nd of ingenious machine that should never have been replaced with electr ic motors and increased volume controls. We soon bored of the re-crankin g, and left it alone.... but we just had to mess with it for a little whil e. Gramma just had to be the most important thing in that room, as the fu rniture placement is rather vague. In the center of the south wall was t he "boys" room door, and by the time I knew the house well, it was Uncle P aul's room. Uncle Bert and Aunt Iva's room (yes, it was their home als o) was upstairs. I only remember being in Uncle Paul's room once and th at was to see the picture of Grandpa. It was only a thumb sized pri nt of his head posted to an ornate soldier's body on a certificate of sor ts ... and of course written in German (I wish I now knew the language ). Grandpa had been a cobbler in the Austrian Army, I'm told.
I seem to remember a china cupboard, but don't remember where it stood, th ough the cream separator sat in the southeast corner of the kitch en . . .. "Stay out from the back of there where the gears are, or you wi ll leave your dress full of oil."
The house showed lots of Gramma's handiwork. There were the crochet ru gs made from colorful rag strips. I know how, and have made them, becau se she showed me. She also made some in hexagon pattern. . put together l ike shingling in applique. These were made or heavy wool scraps. Sudden ly I can't remember if there were pictures on the wall. There probably wa s, but I didn't notice them. I remember oilcloth on the table. The ceilin gs, as I recall were wainscoting. I can't remember if the walls were pain ted or papered, or what they were. Small matter. It was the Garden of Ed en cause Gramma was there.
Now go back to the cement step outside the screen door. I don't rememb er the house any color but white. You will be facing South. To the Sou th East a ways was the water well and pump. I think there was a garden sp ace East of the pump towards the draw... to the North was the chicken-hou se and smoke house, rock bottomed and wooden tops and that dam toilet. .. perhaps built in the old country manner. It was a one-holer no pit. .. just an opening with a wooden cover to clean out the residue and p ut it on the fields. If the boys wanted to aggravate the girls, they ju st pulled off the back opening and stood there giggling. Nobody want ed to bare their behinds to that. Usually someone went yelling to the hou se tattling, instead of the older girls taking on those boys, and always s omeone came in a hurry to the rescue. I can't remember anyone getting a g ood spanking at Gramma's, but I'll bet there were some after they got ho me for not behaving at Gramma's house.
Now still standing on the step, you look a short ways to the Southwest a nd there is the root cellar (also used in Kansas for cyclone protection ). ."Stay out of it, and off the door." Everyone did. In line with the ro ot cellar, way across the yard was the barn with a sort of work shop attac hed, and due west quite a ways was the hog sheds. In that direction al so were the feed stacks. My guess is... either young milo, maise or so me other cane type plant. I can't remember graineries, but there must ha ve been.
Step off the stoop now, and go down the narrow sidewalk to the end of t he house. There was Gramma's flower garden. It was fenced and strictl y, "Off Limits" I don't remember trees and lawn ... who needed them? ... N ot many people had them with just a gas-fired pump-jack. With all this "O ff limits" business, what was there to do? We kids made our own fun and th at was no problem with a slug of kids almost all the same age. All I kno w, was that the days just weren't long enough, before Daddy was saying, "T ell Gramma goodbye" and Mom carried out all the empty dishes, and Uncle Pa ul joked about eating leftovers for a week.
Some things are certain: I am not alone in my thoughts and memories of th is house. I've been told, "You wouldn't recognize the place now. The hou se has been completely remodeled by Uncle Red and Aunt Iva's son, Mike." T hat is as it should be. . for if this were not true, the house wou ld be as so many other farm houses. . deteriorating and empty, with gapi ng window holes. One fact stands out most. ..Gramma had no "Off Limits" p laces in her life for any of this is what a Gramma's house is all about.

26 3706    J. C. Kimberly Is Dead at 90 Son of One of Four Founders Of Kimberly-Clark Dies at His Home NEENAH — James Cheney] Kimberly, 90, father of John K. Kimberly, chairman of the board of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, died Tuesday afternoon at his home, 416 E. Wisconsin Ave. Kimberly, son of one of the four founders of Kimberly-Clark, was himself associated with the company for more than 50 years. He started his career in the paper business during summer vacations from school and after his graduation from college, began work at the Kimberly-Clark mill in Kimberly. There he learned the paper business from the woodroom to manufacturing to office management. He was, in the early years, the company's only salesman. Retired in 1928 Kimberly served the company as vice president from 1907 until 1923 when he retired, and as director from 1907 until 1945. He also was actively associated with the Neenah Paper Co., now a division of Kimberly-Clark. He was elected a director in 1398 and served as president from July 9, 1928, until Jan. 15. 1941,when he was named chairman of the board. He retired as board chairman and director during September of 1951. Kimberly, in 1932, provided the funds for construction of a library at the Institute of Paper Chemistry and provided for the library's perpetual endowment. At the dedication, it was said the new buildings, erected during the world's greatest economic crisis, shall always be a monument to J. C. Kimberly's courage and far-seeing ideals...stand- ing as an inspiration to those who are going to benefit by it and all who are interested in higher education and in the welfare of the pulp and paper industry. Was Given Degree Twenty-five years later, in 1957, Lawrence College presented Kimberly with an honorary degree of doctor of laws. The citation read: "We are a country in some ways mad with publicity, mad for the passing moment, the passing sensation." The folly of this is apparent if we consider a truly distinguished life...its devotion to family honor and public good, its love of those things which endure as human custom, a way of life. We do not want to embarrass you, and we say only that in honoring you we honor the best of responsible life in industry, in civic concern, in education philanthropy." Mr. Kimberly gave the Kimberly homestead in Neenah to the Visiting Nurse Association of Neenah and Menasha, and with members of his family, he set up an endownment for its maintenance. His other philanthropic activities are many and varied. Founded Yacht Club He founded the Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club and served as its commodore for many years, and was active in organizing the Inland Lakes Yachting Association. Only recently, Kimberly wrote and published a book about the history of inland lakes yachting and Nodaway Club in particular. Born Nov. 30, 1870, in Neenah, Kimberly studied at Philips Andover Academy and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He Ill., on June 29, 1897. He is survived by his wife; two sons. John R., chairman of the board of Kimberly-Clark, and James II., of Neenah and Chicago, and one daughter, Mrs. Leonard Carpenter, of Minneapolis.

36 4793    Leota Mae Ecker, a woman of faith, kindness, and loving unselfishness, died Monday, June 19, 2017, at University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison. She was 91.
An active church member, Lee taught Sunday School and served on many hospitality committees. She lead both Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, and was library custodian for years in her retirement community in Florida. At her death, she was a mission partner at New Heights Lutheran Church in Black Earth.
Foremost, Lee was a loving wife and mother. Anything she could do, bake, make, attend, serve for her husband or their three children was her calling. Any way she could make her husband's, her children's, her grandchildren's or great grandchildren's lives better was her passion. Always with a smile, Lee was everybody's Mom.
Born July 11, 1925, in New London, Wis., Lee was the only child of Myrlon and Margaret Zaug Seims. She married Eugene C. Ecker in 1945, and they raised their family in Appleton and Menasha, Wis., and Bronxville, N.Y., later living in Connecticut; Clearwater, Fla.; and finally Fitchburg, Wis. She is survived by her husband, two daughters – Linda (Dan) Fahrbach, Newburgh, N.Y.; and Cindy (Gary) Pregno, Highland, N.Y. – one son, Mike (Carole) Ecker, Black Earth, Wis. – seven grandchildren – Scot Ecker, Kelly Jones, Jessa Kinnamon, Heather Cavanaugh, Adam Pregno, Christopher Fahrbach and Casey Clark – and 20 great grandchildren.
Ever most comfortable in an apron, Lee is remembered for her great baking, her dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies, her fried macaroni and her yum yum bars. Her enjoyment of all holidays was evident around the house, and she kept the front-porch goose statue well supplied with holiday clothing year-round. Her grandchildren remember her fondly for her playful ways, cheeseburgers at the counter at Woolworths, Skunk games on vacation, her Mary Poppins get-up and her notorious Christmas gifts, all piled in a festive heap at Grandma and Grandpa's.
A Service of Resurrection and Hope was scheduled for Monday, June 26, at New Height's Lutheran Church, Black Earth, at 11 a.m., with Pastor Rob Nelson presiding. Inurnment is at Oak Hill Cemetery, Black Earth.

41 5440    From Templemichael Cty. Waterford IrelandMacLysaght's "Irish Families, Their Names, Arms, and Origins" has th is to say about :
O'CONNELLAN, Conlan, Conlon.Conlon, Conlan and Connellan are all synonyms (readers outside Ireland w ho might tend to stress the second syllable-ell--of Connellan may ne ed to be told that in fact it is barely audible, Connellan and Conlan bei ng pronounced almost alike). Several different Irish surnames have be en so anglicized. The principal septs so called in English are Ó Conal1al in of Roscommon and Galway and Ó Coinghiolla'in ofCo. Sligo : their present day representatives are chiefly found in northConnacht---in Counties Mayo and Sligo. The name is also fairly numerous i nCo. Meath and the mid-lands, where however they are also called Quinlan-ÓCoindealbhdin in Irish: they descend from an important sept seated near Tr imwhich traces back to Laoghaire, King of Ireland in the time of St. Patrick ,but was dispossessed at the Anglo-Irish invasion. In Munster ÓCaoindealbha'in, usually anglicized Quinlevan, is sometimes made Conlon. ( For
Quinlan and Quinlevan see p. 251 infra).
In the seventeenth century the name was very numerous and widespread. InPetty's census (1659) it appears, under seven different spellings, as o ne ofthe com-moner names in Counties Roscommon, Clare, Sligo, Longford, Westmea th,
Offaly, Kildare and Louth.
The spelling Connellan is infrequent in modem times, compared with Conl an andConlon, only about ten per cent. using that form; but so far as distinguis hedmen of the name are concerned Connellans are outstanding. " The Book of t heO'Connel-lans," a mediaeval work in Irish, deals with Tirconnell genealogi es.Abraham O'Conn-ellan was Archbishop of Armagh from 1247 to 1260 and ThomasO'Connellan, Bishop of Achonry from 1492 to 1505. Thomas O'Connellan (c.1620-1695), was a composer of Irish airs and noted harper, as was his brot herLaurence, who was well known in Scotland as a wandering harper after 1700.Owen Connellan (1800-1869), another north Connacht man, was an eminent Gae licscholar; and Joseph Connellan, Nationa-list Six-County M.P. was one of theactive pioneers of Sinn Fein and the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ulster .
The well known war-cry " Conlan abu " was not connected with any of the se septs : it was used by the O'Mores of Leix.

Still in love after all these yearsThe Anniversary Mass brought together more than 28,000 years of marriage.
By: Heather Felton (Venice - Feb. 20, 2003) The Epiphany Cathedral was packed and ne ar to bursting as couples from across the 10-county diocese to celebrate t heir marriages and renew their vows. A total of 545 couples attended, brin ging 28,851 years of marriage to the celebration on Saturday, Feb. 1 "Thank God for the example of all of you good people," said Father Willi am Adams, the homilist for the 19th annual event. "You wouldn't be he re if it weren't for your strong love and good example."He spoke about many older couples he knew and told their stories of how th ey met and why their marriages are so successful."We are forever young and we like to remember good things," he said.During the Mass, sponsored by the diocesan Family Life Office in the Pasto ral Ministries Department, the couples were recognized in groups by the nu mber of years married. There were 23 couples celebrating their silver anni versaries, 186 celebrating gold anniversaries and 336 with more than 50 ye ars married.The final couple introduced were Fay and Wilbur Conklin, married 74 yea rs and the longest married couple at the Mass.Bishop John J. Nevins, the presider at the Mass, went down to meet them wh ere they sat in the first row wearing matching outfits of light blue. He l ay his hands on their heads and blessed them, hugged them and then told t he congregation that the blessing and hugs were for them all.The Conklins, of Bonita Springs, attend St. Leo Parish. They met at a dan ce hall in Oshkosh, Wis., in 1928 where the diminutive Fay was dancing wi th friends. That was how she caught Wilbur's attention."I'd seen her on the floor dancing with another girl," he said, sitti ng at home a few days before the Anniversary Mass. "The girl she was danci ng with was so much taller than her…. She was short and cute."
Fay cut in.
"I wasn't as bad looking as I am now," she joked.The couple "went together" only a few months before they were married M ay 16, 1928. They were 20 years old.In the early years of their marriage, things were tight. It was during t he Depression and jobs were hard to find. Wilbur worked at a tire compa ny repairing and selling tires for many years while Fay stayed home with t heir children."Everybody had hard times," she said. "It didn't hit us alone. It hit ever ybody. It was a bad spell."Now 94, the couple have had four children, two boys and two girls, and exp erienced the death of their eldest son. Wilbur served in World War II alth ough illness kept him from serving overseas. He also converted to Catholic ism from Methodist without telling Fay, as a surprise to his Catholic wif e.The couple lived in Wisconsin for most of their lives although they travel ed a great deal and made winter trips to Florida for many years before fin ally settling here with their daughter, Nancy.They attribute their continued marriage to just getting along."We just seem to click," Wilbur said. "We liked each other and got along g ood together." "It's always been pretty good," Fay added. "He's always be en good to me."
Wilbur jumped in."She's not combative," he said. "She won't get mad at anything."
Fay laughed at this.
"We never argued much," she said. "We never cared to argue."The couple agreed that the hardest time married was during the Depressi on years and the best time is now. They enjoy reading and going to concert s. And each morning the couple goes for a walk together."We don't have to work, we can go wherever we want to go," Fay said.

A most interesting and difficult operation was performed by Dr. MAGER of t his place with the assistance of Dr. SMITH of Port Washington, on a litt le girl about four years old, daughter of Peter FELLEN of St. John, Calum et Co. by taking from the bladder a stone two inches long and over two inc hes in circumference, weighing 1 1/8 ounces. We saw the stone and it loo ks and feels exactly like a limestone. The child is doing well and will re cover; the mother is of course in attendance here with her child. The pare nts have been consulting physicians for last 16 months without the latter ís discovering the true cause of the ailment. Last week the same gentlem en removed from the arm of Mr. LORENZ near Sheboygan Falls, a large porti on of diseased bone with such success as to save the amputation of the arm .

A most interesting and difficult operation was performed by Dr. MAGER of this place with the assistance of Dr. SMITH of Port Washington, on a little girl about four years old, daughter of Peter FELLEN of St. John, Calumet Co. by taking from the bladder a stone two inches long and over two inches in circumference, weighing 1 1/8 ounces. We saw the stone and it looks and feels exactly like a limestone. The child is doing well and will recover; the mother is of course in attendance here with her child. The parents have been consulting physicians for last 16 months without the latter ís discovering the true cause of the ailment. Last week the same gentlemen removed from the arm of Mr. LORENZ near Sheboygan Falls, a large portion of diseased bone with such success as to save the amputation of the arm .

70 8337    1918 See story (written in 1948?) about "County Carpenter" about Anton Welhouse who built "The largest barn in the county" for Daniel Ryan in 1918. "Anton Welhouse w as best known for the barns he built, 88 of them, according to his record s. The largest one was constructed in 1918 in the town of Buchanan for D an Ryan who wanted "the biggest barn in the County." It measures 46 by 1 20 ft., reaches 50 ft. to the peak, and is now owned by the Robert Berghu is family. It was built at a cost of $420 for labor, netting him a prof it of $66.91. The average wage paid a worker was approximately 45¢ per ho ur." 
71 8550    a) She was born December 4, 1899 and Baptized December 5. Sponsors were: Joseph Renn and Clara VanRoy. She was baptized at St. Mary's Church in Appleton, Wisconsin
b) Her parents were: John Renn and Susan VanRoy
c) She entered the community on August 8, 1920 as a Candidate
d) She was received into the Novitiate on June 21, 1921 and made her First Profession of vows on August 15, 1923. I have photos of her as a candidate and several as a novice.
e) Then I have a sheet that states: Sister Alphonse Renn was a musician. She died at our Motherhouse on July 5, 1924 at the age of 24, professed just 10 months. Cause of death: Cancer.
f) I have several photos but very little information as to who is who on the photo.
a. One as a candidate dated 1920 with a little girl next to her. Another photo identifies the little girl as "Sue Crinj's mother" Not sure Crinj is spelled right. Might be a "g" = Cring
b. Anotherr photo with her as novice with I'm guessing is her mother, the little girl and a brother. I don't think it's her father.
c. Another with her as a candidate and another professed Sister. Another photo identifies this nun as possibly Sister Modesta. Was she also a relative of yours????
d. Another photo with her a novice, The above nun (Modesta???) and her mother.
e. Then a group picture of her with the woman again who looks like her mother, a grandmother,, and several children. I'm guessing that one of the photos was her as a candidate on the day that she became a novice. And then this picture was of her as novice after the Reception ceremony. I don't know anything about how many siblings she had, if she was one of the older ones or younger. Several people on this photo could be older sisters with their children.
SO that's about all the information I can offer…a rather long answer to a simple yes or no question. Do you have photos of her? Do you want copies of these? I can scan and send three at a time…that's my limit on this computer. SO I hope I've been some help. I will definitely look forward to hearing from you. I am very addicted to anything that has to do with family genealogy!!! Take care and have a blessed day. I can also send you copies by "snail mail" plus a few of our convent if you've never seen it. Time for lunch. Take care.
Blessings on your day, Sr. Caritas 
72 8687    Date: 4/21/2002 9:10:33 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: harneyworld@netscap e.net To: jaywilpolt@aol.comHi again, I just replied, then noticed something that may be of intere st to you. I show James Harney's parents are John Harney and Catherine Lon g. Your letter had "Lolig?" as her surname. The original record must ha ve had poor handwriting.John Harney was a farmer from the parish of Shyane, Coolgarane, Thurles Ti pperary, Ireland. Coolgarrane is 3.25 Irish miles NNE of Thurles. He w as born Feb 1835, and immigrated to the US around 1877. His children: Jam es, and Thomas (twins), Mary, Margaret, Michael and John were all bo rn in Ireland (Civil birth records).It appears there is an older son named Richard also who came to this count ry too, but his birth record in Ireland has not been found. He is found li ving near this family on all the records. A family member emailed me th at they thought there was another daughter named Catherine but I have fou nd no records on her as yet. Linda
From Linda Harney Files; JOHN HARNEY (1835- d.after 1905); John Harne y, he was born in Ireland, February 1835. He married Catharine "Kate" Lon g. and they had the following children: Thomas and James (twins, b.1865, I reland); Mary (Mrs. Mike) Sullivan; Margaret (Mrs. Frank) JORDAN; Micha el J (b.1872) and John T. (b.1875, Ire.); Catherine?; and possibly Richa rd Harney (b.c.1864). The family, who were from the parish of Shyane, Coo lgarrane, Thurles, Tipperary, Ireland, immigrated to Wisconsin, later set tling in Minnesota. John purchased 160 acres of land (Sec.9, T 56N R 20 W) 3 Oct 1888, and another 160 acres (Sec.9, T 63N R 8W), 4 June 1890, acc ording to BLM land records. John & Catharine lived in Duluth, St. Louis C ounty (1900 and 1905 censuses). Their family has his name as James John Ha rney, but he is shown as John on the Irish and American records found by t his researcher. Chart ref: MNJKL.WES.

date is the "birthday" recognized by the Church.> Yes, I remember when he died..the many trips to St. Mary's hospital inDuluth. In fact, Dad and I were there when he died..I heard a strangenoise..first "dead rattle" I ever heard. First time I ever had lamb too,in hospital cafeteria. It was awful!... and when he died they had a wakeat the farm....all the cousins were there. Mary Catherine and Tommy, Patand Tim and Jimmy and Marj and me..John wasn't born until November.Grandpa lay in state in the parlor while people streamed in and out. Nodrinking of course as Anna Ryan was in charge. But Tommy, ever the daredevil, dared me to touch Grandpa's hand when no one was there..and ofcourse, I did..not to be outdone by Tommy as I was 6 weeks older than hi m.Pat and Tim and Marj and JImmy didn't dare. We had a wild time, wecousins...all too young to know what was going on. First time I ever sawmy Dad cry...tears streamed down his face. Your mother carried you aroundas you were only about 5 months old. And we had a score of religious. I
still have pictures of the nuns in their immense habits.
>> My name was changed by Monsignor Lamair when I was baptized at Sacredheart in Cloquet. The FRENCH priest, much to Anna's horror, filled theslip out with the French spelling "Marion" and my mother, marrying aCatholic and awed by the whole process (she a Norweigian Lutheran) andhaving promised at marriage to raise the kids Catholic, followed thatspelling!!! In fact the misspelling of my name set a precedent and on theNorweigen side, Grandma JOhnson changeed her name from Maryannne to Marion ,her daughter was Marion, and I have a cousing Marion and now I have agrandaughter Marion...Your mother knew Father Lammier well.. I am not sureof the spelling but I am sure it is on Jimmy's birth certifcate too.

73 8697    2 brothers, mother work at CHP station
By Jenny ShearerUNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITERJanuary 18, 2006EL CAJON -
For the Pennings family, law enforcement is the family business. Three of its six members work at the California Highway Patrol's El Cajon station. Brothers Brian and Brad are officers; their mother, Carol, processes accident reports and handles other administrative tasks. Brothers Brian Pennings (left) and Brad Pennings are California Highway Patrol officers at the El Cajon station. Mother Carol Pennings processes accident reports. Their father, Bruce, is a retired sheriff's deputy who has returned to work part time through the Sheriff's Department's 120-day rehire program. He assists at various courthouses in the county. An uncle recently retired as a police officer in Texas, and another uncle holds a civilian posit ion with the CHP in Clairemont as a commercial vehicle inspector. Carol Pennings said it's cool to work with her kids. It was one of the main reasons she returned to the El Cajon station. She had previously worked there in her 15½ years with the CHP."It's really nice because they breeze through the office and say, 'Hi, Mom,' and I get to see them every day," she said. Working together also allows her the chance to see her children in a different light, and to hear that people appreciate the work they do. Brian Pennings, 33, always wanted to work for the CHP. A car aficionado, he grew up helping his father restore vintage Mustangs. He is trained to tear cars apart for post-collision inspections, to determine mechanical factors in accidents. As a boy, he liked to watch the 1970s show, "CHiPs," and wanted to be like Ponch and Jon, his mother said. When she started working for the CHP, he told her he wanted her to "sign him up."She told him he would have to wait and do it on his own, which he did, graduating from the academy at 23. He has spent his career at the El Cajon station and is the public-affairs officer. Younger brother Brad, 26, thought about becoming a chiropractor until he did a ride-along with his brother when he was 19.He was impressed with the CHP and decided to join as well. He works as a patrol officer. Carol Pennings said she doesn't fear for her sons' safety; she prays that God will protect them and then lets those thoughts go."Arguably one of the most dangerous things you can do as a law enforcement officer is make a traffic stop, because you don't know who this person is, what they may have just done," Brian Pennings said. He said working where they grew up can be uncomfortable at times, especially when people "who I barely know" get pulled over and drop the Pennings name to try to get out of a ticket. The brothers work together on special details, and Brian Pennings said he tries to get out of the station as much as possible so he "doesn't lose his touch with the road."The Pennings brothers have always been close despite their seven-year age difference. Between them are two sisters, Shawna and Heather. When Brian Pennings found out his parents were expecting a fourth child, he told t hem it had better be a boy or he was going to leave home.
"I got my wish," he said. The brothers shared a room growing up, and Brian Pennings helped coach Brad's sports teams. When it was time to have his badge pinned on during his academy graduation ceremony, Brad asked his brother and father to help.

Mrs. Frank Wolfinger, aged 85 years, passed away last Friday morning, May 17, at the home of her son, Frank Wolfinger. Mrs. Wolfinger has lived in this vicinity for a number of years, during which time she gained a large circle of friends. A few years ago she made her home at Kaukauna. Last winter she fell on a sleet covered walk and fracture her illium. From the time of the accident she was subject to great pain which she bore patiently and without a murmur, until death released her. The remains were taken to St. John on Monday, where they were laid to rest, followed by her sons, daughters, grandchildren and a large host of friends all of whom realize that they have lost a friend in time of need.

90 10467    Mourning for her son has a Kaukauna mom on a mission to beat childhood cancer
By Cheryl Anderson, Post-Crescent staff writer
There are plenty of times when Chris Ederer cries.
She quietly weeps for her son, Michael, who died of cancer a month ago today at age 19. But for the sake of her family and her own mental health, she keeps busy. She has to.
"Your kids and your family are only as strong as you are," the Town of Kaukauna woman said. "That's my job."
It hasn't gone unnoticed by her husband, Terry, daughters Kasey, 16, and Justine, 19, family and friends."She's just been phenomenal through the whole thing for her family and for everybody around her," said family friend Bruce Van Boxtel, whose son Rich, 20, was a pallbearer at Michael's funeral.
In remembrance of Michael and to raise awareness, the Ederers are spreading the word about childhood cancer one gold ribbon at a time. Chris in particular is on a one-woman mission to raise the profile of childhood cancer - the need for research and the need to love and pray for those children going through the same hellish journey her child endured these past three-plus years.
"People need to realize what these kids go through," Chris said. "I can't get Michael back, but I'm going to do all I can to spread the word. We need to find a cure."
Her car, adorned with a paint job and stickers commemorating area children being treated for cancer, is a moving billboard of sorts, giving all who come upon it a reason to pause.
Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children between infancy and age 15, according to the National Cancer Institute, whose 2008 budget was $4.83 billion. Of that, breast cancer received roughly 12 percent, prostate cancer roughly 6 percent, and childhood cancers roughly 4 percent, according to reports at fundedresearch.cancer.gov.
"There needs to be continued research, even though we've made such progress in the last 40 years in increasing cure rates in childhood cancers and decreasing side effects and long-term effects from treatment," said Terri Lewis, a nurse with the Prevea Health Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, where Michael was treated.The Ederers' crusade, Chris said, is to make the gold ribbon of childhood cancer as well known as the pink ribbon, the international symbol for breast cancer awareness.
"I'm not knocking pink ribbons. My mom and my mother-in-law are both breast cancer survivors," she said. "But the kids need a little more acknowledgement now."
Van Boxtel credits Chris Ederer for not only raising awareness about childhood cancer, but also "helping people that don't even have cancer be more aware of it, and try to prevent it and go in and get checked."
Michael's story
Much has been written about Michael Ederer, a 6-foot football player and track hurdler at Kaukauna High School who was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma his junior year.
But his story started two years earlier in December 2005 when he went to the doctor with a pain in his side.
"The doctor pushed on it and thought (Michael had) pulled a muscle," Chris said. "Physical therapy was prescribed."
"Physical therapy" is a phrase Chris still hates to hear.
"What I know now, I would have demanded (an x-ray)," she said of her son's initial diagnosis. "There's something hurting him. …Confirm it."
A year to the date later, Michael's pain was so bad he was losing sleep at night. He again went to the doctor, and this time an X-ray was performed and showed small, stringy objects hanging down from his rib. A biopsy was sent to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Two weeks later came the diagnosis of cancer.
Ewing's sarcoma is a rare bone cancer that affects only 150 to 200 cases a year in the United States.
"It's rare, but once it hits your kid it's not so rare anymore," Chris said. "It's your life."
The cancer was in his ribs and had already spread to Michael's lungs. He had a 10 percent survival rate.
Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery had Michael and his family hopeful he had beat the disease. But the week of his high school graduation in 2008, it returned. And the grueling process began again, but it never changed Michael's disposition.
"He was always a happy go-lucky kid," Chris said. "Even when he was not feeling good or things weren't looking good, he always looked back to Kevin Sharp, a country singer he'd met a couple times, who is a Ewing's sarcoma survivor now of probably 15 or 16 years. … (Michael) would still always say, 'I'm not giving up. They told Kevin Sharp he wasn't going to make it.'"
Though Michael never mentioned dying with his family, he did to his friends.
"He was worried about the girls (sisters Kasey and Justine) being taken care of and dad having a hunting buddy," Chris said.
Early in the week Michael died the doctor told the family nothing more could be done.
"So even though he battled almost three years, it went fast," Chris said of her son's death Aug. 20. "I wouldn't of thought he'd be gone now. I thought we'd get one more Christmas at least. I still can't believe he's gone."
A mother's mission
In the Ederer family's front yard in the Town of Kaukauna sits a large cutout of a gold ribbon Chris designed. There also are dangling gold stars blowing in the breeze, hung before her son's death. They represent the children undergoing cancer treatments at the St. Vincent Hospital Regional Pediatric Center, which works in concert with the Prevea Health Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic in Green Bay. The number 50 has been crossed out and replaced with 49.
Chris sent e-mails to corporations such as Toys 'R Us, Grayco, Crayola, Hershey's, Precious Moments and Kimberly-Clark asking for their support. She's e-mailed Oprah and Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres and Bonnie Hunt, to no avail.
"I can't help but feel unless we get someone to back us, like Deanna Favre (did) with breast cancer or Michael J. Fox with Parkinson's (disease), we will never get enough funding," she said. "It is the most underfunded research there is. We just need more. … Something needs to be done about it."
Piles of black T-shirts created by Eagle Graphics in Kaukauna lay on a table in the family's garage with the same gold ribbon and slogan, "Spreading the word one gold ribbon at a time." The shirts were Chris' idea, and they're offered for a minimal fee to families on Caring Bridge, a nonprofit Web service connecting families and friends of those enduring a critical illness, treatment or recovery. It's on her to-do list to get the shirts in the mail.
Parked in the garage is her red Chevy Impala. From behind it looks like any other car. But from the front it is a conversation starter. Painted in black, the hood is emblazoned with tiny gold ribbons and the names of those the Ederer family met or have gotten to know through Caring Bridge who've either beaten cancer, are undergoing treatment or who've lost the battle. If a child dies, a small, white angel is added.
In the fall sunlight, the car sparkles.
"I think it's very special what Chris is doing," said family friend Terry Gussert of Wrightstown, a body shop technician who helped with the car conversion. "She's dedicated and committed to finding a cure and promoting the awareness of childhood cancer."
Never forgotten
On Sept. 4, the Kaukauna School District and community paid tribute to Michael at Kaukauna High School's football game against Appleton East. His No. 81 jersey was officially retired before the game, followed by a moment of silence.
Prior to the freshman football game against Neenah Sept. 10, the teams lined up across from each other on their respective 45-yard lines. The captains met at mid-field. The Neenah players had heard Michael's story, took up a collection among the team and presented a donation. In Michael's honor, they would not wear No. 81 for the game.
And the Kaukauna girls volleyball team is wearing gold shoelaces in recognition of September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Michael's sister, Kasey, is on the junior varsity team.
About a dozen of Michael's friends showed up at the Ederers' house Sept. 11. Michael would have turned 20. They released balloons in his honor.
"Even those big, sturdy football players stood and watched (the balloons) until you couldn't see them anymore," Chris said. " Then they came in, sat down and played video games just like (Michael) was still here until 12:30 or 1 in the morning."
For just a moment, the Ederers' world again felt normal.
Additional Facts
Cancer awareness
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Here are some facts:
# Of the 12 most common forms of childhood cancers, leukemias and cancers of the brain and central nervous system account for more than half of new cases.
# About one-third of childhood cancers are leukemias, the most of which in children is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The most common solid tumors are brain tumors, with other solid tumors being less common.
# In the United States in 2007, approximately 10,400 children under age 15 were diagnosed with cancer and about 1,545 children will die from the disease. Although this makes cancer the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children ages 1 to 14, cancer is still relatively rare in this age group. On average, one to two children develop the disease each year for every 10,000 children in the United States.

They ordered me to repo rt to 45 Broadway, New York City on Nov 11. Suddenly the whole world w as opening up to me. I had never been outside the state of Wisconsi n, In fact, I had never ridden in any kind of public transportation, inclu d¬ing buses, trains, taxis and of course subways and ferries. This had a ll changed by the 12th. I arrived a day late but was for¬tunate to be joi ned by three others who were also late. After reporting, we went by subwa y, train, and a bus to the acad¬emy at Kingspoint, LongIsland. I was assigned with 23 other cadets to a class for engineering trainin g. We were given a fast six weeks of preliminary training which was ju st enough time to give us all the immuni- zations known at the time. We we re supposedly protected and ready to go to sea. There were 4 of us Cadets assigned to the same ship, The Andrea F Lucken bach. Two of them were Deck Cadets who were to learn seamanship, anoth er Engine Cadet and myself. We joined the ship in Brooklyn. I think it w as at the 36th St. pier. The Luckenbach was a state of the art ship when she was built back in 1 918. She was a twin screw turbine driven ship. We were told that she w as the largest general cargo ship in the US Registry at the time she enter ed into service. When we came aboard she was in the process of finishing off the loadin g. They were still bringing in and loading 500 # bombs into the hold s. We found out later that some of the holds were full of 37mm anti-aircr aft ammo. We kiddingly said that on this trip we would have no need for l ife jackets. We figured we would be better off with harps.Now that the ship was ready to go, we went to Boston to join a convoy. Ru mors were that we were heading for Mur¬mansk, Russia, above the arctic cir cle. The Germans subs along the coast of Norway had sunk most of the shi ps that tried to make the trip. The US kept trying in spite of the heavy l osses. This was the only access to our ally, Russia. Fortu¬nately, wh en we arrived in Boston our rudder jammed. By the time we had it repaire d, we were too late for the convoy so we returned to New York to join an¬o ther convoy.Finally after losing almost a month, we left New York on Feb. 28,194 3. We thought we were fortunate because six months earlier, the German U- boats were lying in wait off the east coast and were sinking ships dail y. I believe it was either the air patrols or blimps that forced the U-boa ts that forced them out to sea. In any event, our convoy of about 30 shi ps headed out to sea without any problem. The North Atlantic in Ma rch is rough and cold, 20 foot waves are not uncommon. On the 6th or 7th d ay out, a storm with higher waves and white caps hit. The storm was seve re enough to destroy all our life rafts on the starboard side. Even wi th the heavy seas, the convoy was able to stay in formation. They may ha ve increased the spacing between the ships during rough weather they disco ntinued the routine zigzag course. The zigzagging was done to make the ships a harder target to hit. The e ntire convoy would continue to turn like flocks of starlings. They follow ed a pattern of going a given number of minutes in one direction and th en turning sharply. At night or if visibility was poor, the turns were acc ompanied by a blast by the ship's whistle to keep the turns synchronized.On March 10th, when we were about 2/3 across the Atlantic we were torpedoe d. It was about 6:30pm. One of the Deck Ca¬dets and I were in our state ro om. I was lying on my bunk with my shoes off. I was wearing a light kha ki jacket and a pair of khaki pants. Mine was a lower bunk so I had my li fe jacket lightly tied to the bunk above me. Two torpedoes hit us spac ed 5 to 10 seconds apart. They shook the ship but not as much as you wou ld expect. I guess this was because of the thousands of tons of mass a nd the damp¬ening effect of the water. The explosions were strong enou gh to break the ship in two. The stern sank almost immediately. There we re no survivors from the aft quarters.Our training told us not to save anything except yourself. You should gr ab you life jacket and head for your assigned emer¬gency station. Cade ts were to head for the open deck on the same level as our quarters and em bark a lifeboat as it was lowered past that level. By the time that I arri ved at my station, which was a matter of seconds, the two lifeboats were a lmost down to our level. As it went past our deck, 3 or 4 of us climbed i nto it. The two men who were lowering it did a good job of keeping it leve l. A common problem in the excitement is to allow one end to get ahe ad of the other and dump everyone out of the boat. There was no problem g etting the boat into the water and free from the ship in spite of 15-20 fo ot waves. In practically no time we had the lifeboat full of men that we h elped pull out of the water. As soon as possible, we started to row away f rom the ship. The suction of a sinking ship can pull the life boat down w ith it. About one fourth of the ship sank immediately, the remainder disa ppeared from sight six minutes after the torpedoes hit. We heard shouts f or help from the water where the ship had bee. The officer-in-charge to ld us not to row over there because it appeared that there were many peop le in the water. He was afraid that too many people would swamp the bo at that was already fully loaded. He soon determined that all the "head s" that he saw were not men but 500 pound bombs, so we rowed over and pick ed up the one guy that was shouting. We rowed aimlessly for about an ho ur and then saw a ship appear. Here again our training says no ship ev er stops in a convoy to help anyone because they are a good target for U-b oats in the area. This ship was an exception, it was an English ship abo ut half the size of ours. It had been in a shipyard in the States for exte n¬sive repairs. When the repairs were complete, they manned it with Engli sh sailors who were stranded because their ships had been sunk off the ea st coast. Some of them had lost as many as four ships trying to get ba ck to England. I think every one of them had been torpe¬doed at least onc e.We rowed over to the ship, they had hung a landing net over the side f or us to come aboard. A landing net is like a big spider web made of rop e. Due to the high waves, we could only grab the net and climb aboard wh en the lifeboat was on the apex of a wave. One of the men who misjudged w as crushed between the boat and the ship. On board the English ship we mil led around to see who had made it. We lost all of the Navy gunnery crew be cause they were berthed aft. In the final count we lost 24 of the total 7 5.There were no medical personnel aboard, so our ship steward shaved a gu ys head and sewed up a cut with a regular needle and thread. Rum was us ed as both anes¬thetic and to steady the hand of the stew¬ard. Rum was pas sed around to the survi¬vors. A couple of them got a "snoot full". I w as too afraid to take one drink.After a couple of hours we rejoined the convoy which did not give us a ve ry se¬cure feeling. The destroyer escorts (DE's) were still circling arou nd the convoy and dropping depth charges. Several more ships were sunk aft er we caught up with the convoy.The English were very sympathetic, pro¬viding articles of clothing to tho se of us who were in dire need. They felt sorry for me walking arou nd in my stocking feet. I suspect that very few of them had a spare of sh oes because they were all survivors. In any event, I doubt that anyone h ad a size 12EEE. This ship being a tanker, had some special gear aboar d. When it was necessary to enter a tank that had explo¬sives vapors th ey wore spark resistant covers over their shoes. These were leather wi th wooden pegs instead of nail in the soles. The design was like little gi rls patent leather shoes. Someone brought me a pair of them. Needle ss to say they were plenty wide and long enough. When I walked on dec k, it sounded like a Dutchman with wooden shoes. My bud¬dies would say wh en they heard me coming, "Here comes Coonen with his 'Jesus shoes'". Th ey figured I could walk on water with them.After five days we landed in Lockalsh, Scotland in the Gebrides. We were t old this was a submarine base. we were trans¬ported by a narrow guage rail road in very small coaches to Inverness. We stopped just long enough to e at at a fancy hotel. The waiters wore tuxes and we were given a clean pla te with each serving of food. We had 5 or 6 courses of plates but not mu ch food. Can you visualize 55 men with black sticky fuel oil smeared on t heir clothing in this fancy setting.We continued on to Glasgow. Here we received clean clothe. I got a pa ir of gray slacks with a label in them "Christian Science Monitor-Boston ", shirt, sweater and raincoat. I traded my "Jesus shoes" for a pair of wh ite tennis shoes. Back in those days, tennis shoes were only use for tenn is or to do roofing work. After a couple of days we proceeded to Liverpo ol for transportation home. Six of us were assigned to the Santa Catala n, a Grace line ship. We left Mar. 24, 1943 with a convoy for New Yor k. A convoy can only go as fast as the slowest and convoys lose a l ot of time zigzagging.We arrived five days before the convoy. This was good, at least we thoug ht it was.We landed in NY on Saturday and could not get ashore until Monday becau se we had no passports. On Monday I went to the Luchenbach office to get p aid off but I had to wait until the captain returned to be paid. As I rem ember, I had about $5. in my pocket. The Merchant Marine Cadet Corp w as no help except they did tell me that there was a stranded sailor's shel ¬ter on 13th street. Sure enough, for 50cents a night, they furnished a bu nk in a great big room. Fortunately, most of the bunks were empty so it w as fairly quiet. I did sleep with most of my clothes under my pill ow so I would have them in the morning. I only had to spend two nights the reI returned home to Wisconsin less than five months after leaving home f or the first time. I had seen the world and was returning home a her o. My first Sunday home I think I had to shake hands with everyone at chu rch. I told my story over and over again as people near me backed aw ay to let new ones get closer.After three weeks at home, I was eager to get back to the new world that w as discovering.

An email from Dave to Marion; Hi Marion,Thanks for the St. Pat greeting .I think I mentioned to you that I'm gearing up for a trip to Ireland in M ay. In any event, I and about ten more crazy people are planning on bicyc ling 600 miles in 10 days if the weather gods are kind to us. Otherwis e, it may be more like 300 miles. We plan to bike out of Shannon, throu gh the Burren to the Cliffs, ferry to Inishmore, ferry into Galway Count y, then onto Cliften, Westport, Achill Island, Sligo and back along the Ri ver Shannon to the airport. I plan to consume excessive amounts of me ad at Bunratty Castle before returning. Did I mention dad's famous rema rk at age 92 in the Bunratty castle "I haven't seen this many pretty gir ls in one place in a long time" (this after sneaking more bowls of mead th an I had admonished him to imbibe).Weather here has not been conduci ve to training for this ordeal - lots of 30 degrees and snow kind of stuf f. Lots of viral infections going around also (went to doctor today) - go od thing I have some Irish blood to keep me going. Turned 65 this past we ek.Hope all is well in the land of perpetual sunshine and honey. (your Mi chael Jackson aside)PS: We are seeing Mary Black in concert this Sat - w ho says Milwaukee ain't got no culture. Sincerely, Dave Harney daveharney @wi.rr.com

Hi Marion, This year's vacation was a little different. Our daughter, Cindy, reminded us that we had promised her trip to Paris "someday". She suggested that, being 48 years old; maybe it was time to do the deed. So, we spent 2 weeks in Ireland and Paris (and a ton of money) doing the usual tourist thing with a rented car in Ireland and public transportation in Paris. After they returned home, I biked for 2 weeks in Ireland - part of the time alone and part of the time with 2 other guys (one from Dublin and one from Germany). I don't think I'll do the Ireland tour again - just getting to be too many cars and trucks and a lot less courtesy towards bikers. 90% is beautiful but the other 10% is just starting to feel too dangerous. I feel a little sad about this because I've really perfected the route - even took a GPS unit this time to navigate some of the tiny back roads. You can see the trip at you will notice some pretty nasty weather while wife and daughter were there - after they left I only had one day of rain and then it got pretty warm.

125 13766    On May 29, 2015 DuWayne "Romy" Wenzel Romenesko, age 78, Appleton, left this world to join his faithful wife, Evelyn Rose, and son, Gary. DuWayne was born April 16, 1937 to Walter and Ruth (Vanden Heuvel) Romenesko of Freedom, the oldest of nine children. On March 2, 1957, he married Evelyn Rose Schumacher, and together they raised four wonderful children, Gary, Keith, Rick, and Dawn. Throughout their marriage, he and Evelyn had several successful business ventures, including running the family farm, trucking hay, and eventually going on to build, own, and operate Romy's New Nitingale.
DuWayne will be remembered as a hardworking man who believed in the value of a full day's work. He and Evelyn shared a very strong work ethic that they strove to instill in their children and all of their employees over the years. Romy's was built from the ground up, board-by-board, in 1962 by Walter, Ruth, DuWayne, and Eve. In 1967, DuWayne and Eve acquired the business from Walter and Ruth and continued to build the legacy that Romy's is known for today. In 1997, DuWayne, Eve, and brother, Bing, turned over the reins to Gary, Keith, and Dawn who incorporated the business, and in 2005, Dawn and Keith purchased the property from their parents. The entire Romenesko family is very grateful for all of the devoted employees who have helped establish Romy's reputation for service and quality that one can expect when visiting for Friday Fish Fry, Sunday dinner, a wedding or anniversary celebration, or any other event. Without the dedication and hard work of these employees over the years, Romy's Nitingale would not be what it is today.
In his retirement years, DuWayne enjoyed spending time at their homestead, Romy's Acres. He loved working with his backhoe to put in ponds and maintain the property and mowing the vast lawn. He was always happy to give visitors tours of the grounds on the golf cart. In fact, he and Eve frequently hosted happy newlyweds and their wedding parties for photographs at the beautifully kept property.
He is survived by three children: Keith (fiancée, Dawn Moore) Romenesko, Rick (special friend, Julie Schroeder) Romenesko, and Dawn (friend, Keith Schroeder) Balthazor; eight grandchildren: Lori (Kyle) Klisiewicz, Lisa (Jamie) Smith, Ben (Tanya) Romenesko, Danielle (Tanner) Buchman, Craig (Lindsey) Romenesko, Ashley (fiancée, Michael Prince) Thoma, Chad (Kristin Pierre) Balthazor, and Erik (Holly) Balthazor; and eight great-grandchildren: Faith and Jaxon Romenesko, Brayden and Kaleb Romenesko, Avari Buchman, Ryker and Garrett Smith, and Brycin Klisiewicz. He is further survived by Melissa Tisch (mother of Lori and Lisa), Ann Van Straten (mother of Craig and Ashley), Cheryl Romenesko (mother of Ben and Danielle), and Steven Balthazor (father of Chad and Erik).
He was preceded in death by his son, Gary, in 2003; his wife, Evelyn Rose, in 2010; his parents, Walter and Ruth Romenesko; parents-in-law, John and Agnes Schumacher; brothers, Orin ("Butch") and Darrel; sister, Lavon; brother-in-law, Robert; sister-in-law, Cathy; and nephew, Travis.
The Mass of Resurrection for DuWayne will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. at St. Edward's Parish in Mackville. Visitation will be from 1:00 p.m. until the time of the funeral. Muehl-Boettcher Funeral Home is assisting the family. Online condolences may be expressed at www.muehlboettcher.com
Dad, give Mom and Gary a hug from us. Don't worry; we will keep them lawns mowed. We love you -- Rufus, George, & Toots
Dawn and Keith would like to extend special thanks to the current Romy's Nitingale staff, neighbors, and friends who have worked so hard to ensure that Romy's tradition of providing the highest quality service is continued despite this very difficult time. The entire Romenesko family would like to extend their gratitude to the firefighters, the emergency medical services, and the Outagamie County Sheriff's Department who responded, and to Dr. Doug Meyer and his wonderful neighbors.

131 14294    Richard Van Thiel, age 60, passed away on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 in the arms of his loving wife, Claudia.
Rick was born on December 20, 1956 - the family's Christmas Baby - in Combined Locks, WI, the son of Roman and Evelyn (Brum) Van Thiel. Rick married his soul mate, Claudia Tourville, on July 31, 1976 at Holy Name Catholic Church in Kimberly. Together they enjoyed 40 years of raising a family while sharing adventure, laughter, and love with family and friends all over the world.
Rick was preceded in death by his parents, Romy and Evie, whom he loved and respected. He missed them very much. By following their example, he embraced the role of devoted husband, thoughtful, fun-loving Dad, and gentle, playful Papa. He lost a dear sister, Barb Hartjes, who brought him strength through his own health struggle. He was also preceded in death by a father-in-law that he loved, Claude Tourville.
He's proud to have been a generous father to his two kiddos, Jacalyn and Philip, and enjoyed family trips, boating, cabin time, and skiing. He had a way of sprinkling words of wisdom into everyday life and taught them to appreciate the important things.
Jackie & Seth Jirikowic (Plymouth), could not have loved him more. Jackie's favorite place in the world was wrapped up tight in her Dad's hug and he would never let go until she did. Her four children introduced him to his absolute favorite role: Papa. Lily is his sunshine who brightened even his darkest days. Nick is growing to be a good man and gentleman, just like his Papa, and they loved watching sports together and talking stats. Juliet was his tiny little sprite - full of pure joy and giggles who always brought a smile to his face. Chase was his buddy who shared games, puzzles and a good nap. Papa will live on in their hearts forever through all of life's big and little moments. He will never, ever be forgotten.
Philip and fiancé Jennifer (Soule) (Denver, CO) will cherish the memories that were made. Phil was his Dad's favorite golf buddy, enjoying courses across Wisconsin, Hilton Head Island, Savannah, and Boise in addition to experiencing 'The Masters' together. They also spent time kayaking and canoeing the lakes of Wisconsin and the reservoirs of Idaho, as well as skiing in Colorado and trips to Lambeau when the opportunity was given. There was no limit to the amount of jokes cracked or hours of yard work put in together. The guidance Rick instilled in his son will not fade away.
He is survived by two sisters and their husbands: Marsha & Roger Schanke (Appleton), Susie & Pat Hermus (Combined Locks), brother-in-law Don Hartjes (Kewaunee). He is also survived by four brothers and their wives: Mark & Jean Van Thiel (Combined Locks), Tom & Sandy Van Thiel (Little Chute), Dave & Kath Van Thiel (Hartland), and Bob & Jolene Van Thiel (Kimberly). He always looked forward to the annual Van Thiel Open and any other time he could spend with his family. He loved them all so very much.
He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Carol Tourville (Kimberly); two sisters-in-law who were always like sisters to him: Barb Beck (Mike Radtke, Darboy) and Michelle Tourville VandenBoom (Michael Schmidt, Darboy); brothers-in-law Don Tourville (Bear Creek), Tom Tourville (Africa), Pat (Susan) Tourville (Darboy), Mike (Rena) Tourville (Appleton), Jeff (Sheila) Tourville (Menasha), and Tom Beck who has always been like a brother.
His extended family includes many nieces and nephews who held a very special place in his heart. He enjoyed spending as much time as he could with them whether it was an occasional round of golf, fishing, Beer Camp, a dinner while visiting their city, a gondola ride down the Swiss Alps, or a lazy day on a South Carolina beach.
After a four-year commitment to the Air Force where Rick developed a passion for all things related to aviation, he enjoyed a long, successful career in Corporate Aviation Sales, retiring in July 2016. He was fortunate to work alongside some of the most talented, quick-witted, sincere and loyal people…many who have become dear friends and 'bruthas.' It is an industry that allowed him to travel the world with his sweetie, live in Switzerland, and many parts of the USA. He was touched to be included in prayers, positive thoughts and good wishes of so many during his illness.
There are so many compassionate medical staff members to thank for the excellent care and genuine concern for Rick's health and life. Dr. Bucur and her staff at MSTI in Meridian, Idaho initially took the role until Rick and Claudia moved to Sheboygan in 2016. Once there, Dr. Kumar, his Nurse Navigators, Nurses and staff at Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic took the reins and squeezed every good day out of him that they could. They have the eternal appreciation of his entire family.
A memorial visitation will be held at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, 818 Huron St, Sheboygan, WI on Tuesday, May 2 from 9:30am until the time of the funeral Mass at 11:00am. Reverend Matthew Widder, who helped him find peace in his final days, will celebrate the Mass for Rick. Inurnment will take place at Calvary Cemetery at a later date.
In lieu of any flowers, for those seeking to honor Rick's life, please feel free to make a contribution to his memorial fund.
The Olson Funeral Home & Cremation Service has been entrusted with Rick's arrangements.

See ArticleVan Asten family makes major donation to LC windmill visitors center; By D iane Baumgart, ReporterThe Van Asten family has donated $225,000 to Little Chute Windmill, Inc. T he donation will underwrite the cost of the windmill's visitors center.The visitors center will be named the Gordon, Ramona and Michael Van Ast en Visitors Center in honor of their generous donation. Gordon and Ramo na are donating $150,000 and Michael is donating $75,000."Originally, it started with just the windmill," Mike Van Asten said. " It seemed almost a necessity to have a visitors center with it. A windmi ll can only take about a dozen people at a time (on tour). You're talki ng four or five separate windmill tours and you can't have people sitti ng on the bus. By expanding the project to have a visitors center and t he Little Chute Historical Society museum, which is going to move their ho me inside the facility, it now gives people someplace to learn about the D utch culture and history of the village."Van Asten said that a windmill in Pella, Iowa, another Dutch community th at recently constructed a windmill, had just short of one million visito rs in the first year of operation."It should be an economic boom to the downtown," Van Asten said. "I thi nk there's a number of businesses that cater to the tourism trade th at … with the construction of the windmill would make a lot of sense - gi ft shops, imported Dutch gifts, cheeses, specialty coffee shops, and a caf é."The Van Asten family has a long association with and history of servi ce to the village of Little Chute. Gordon Van Asten founded the popular Go rdy's Food Fair grocery store on Main Street, near the site where the wind mill will be built. The Food Fair was managed by the Van Asten family fr om 1961 until 1987, when Fairway Foods of Minneapolis purchased it.Michael Van Asten owns Liberty Hall Conference Center in Kimberly and t he adjacent Hilton Garden Inn Appleton/Kimberly. He serves as vice-preside nt of Little Chute Windmill, Inc. and is the secretary and a member of t he executive committee of the Fox Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau.The Little Chute windmill will rise more than 100 feet above the village d owntown landscape. The idea of constructing an authentic Dutch windmill be gan in the early 1980s as a way to commemorate Little Chute's unique Dutch -American heritage. The project gathered momentum with the formation of Li ttle Chute Windmill, Inc., led by former village president Donald DeGroo t.Little Chute Windmill, Inc. is currently working to raise the $2.5 milli on needed to construct and maintain the windmill project. Mike Van Asten s aid he has made dozens of presentations to large corporations and small bu sinesses as well as to individuals seeking funding."I did feel making the lead gift would certainly get the momentum going a nd encourage others in the community to get involved as well," Van Asten s aid of the family's donation, adding that currently, there are pledges app roaching a half million dollars.The Little Chute Windmill Committee hired Lucas Verbij, a Hollander, to bu ild the working windmill that will grind grain, which will in turn be us ed by other businesses.The functional, working windmill will attract tourists and school groups f rom a wide region, hastening the development of Little Chute's recently re furbished Main Street and stimulating the entire local economy.In addition to the visitors center and museum, Windmill Park will inclu de an educational center for children, meetings rooms, flower gardens a nd an orchard filled with Dutch tulips as well as a brick walk winding thr ough the park

Grand Chute Boy Scout Nicholas Verhagen among youth who made a difference

GRAND CHUTE — Cynthia Verhagen could barely contain her pride when her son received an award for aiding a woman who fell in her home.
Advertisement

Nicholas Verhagen, a 13-year-old Boy Scout, said he'll never forget the last few months, though he still fails to understand all the fuss.

"It was just the right thing to do," he said. "People should help out whenever they have the opportunity. I don't think it was out of the ordinary."

Nicholas' efforts typified stories that put young people from the Fox Cities in a positive spotlight during 2008.

Verhagen received a taste of celebrity after circumstances gave him an opportunity to exercise the Scout promise of duty to others.

Verhagen was selling wreaths Sept. 21 on Bluemound Drive for the annual scout fundraiser.

At one home, he heard a cry for help though an open window and looked in to see a woman on the floor. He called for emergency aid, but his duty didn't end there.

Responders promptly arrived and cut a screen in front of an open window. Then they called on Verhagen, due to his small stature. They pushed him through the window and he opened the locked door.

The woman was taken to a hospital, but soon returned to her home.

A Post-Crescent story about the incident led to calls from TV and radio stations. The family received also inquiries from "CBS Evening News" and the syndicated "Bonnie Hunt Show."

Verhagen received a letter of congratulations from the Boy Scouts and was featured in the state's Boy Scout magazine.

The attention has slowed down, Cynthia Verhagen said, though people still recognize her son from time to time, and call him a hero.

2002 Letter from Heinrich Liesner in Legden; 13. November 2002 Dear Ja y, I am answering your letter to Josef Kösters, (Hahnehook 12, 48739 Legde n), who turned it over to me. Josef Kösters is a good aquaintance of mine.You are obviously a descendant of Hermann Albert Wilpolt, born 20. Octobe r, 1826 in Legden, and Anna Gertrude Hemsing, born 3. October, 1843 in Ost erwick. I have a list of emigrants from the community of Legden from t he year 1842 until 1900. Therein it states that Hermann Albert Wilpolt em igrated from Legden, Wehr 43 (today Woltkamp, Wehr 243) to America on 2 4. February 1862.In your list about the descendants of Johannes Antonius Schultetus Elper t, appeared the name of Adam Kösters, born 23. October 1804 in Legden. Fr om the Cummunity Archives, I have enclosed in this letter, a copy of the 1 838 list of names of inhaibtants in house # 28 in the village of Legde n. This list matches almost exactly with your list. Louise Margar. Köster s, born 27. July, 1839, emigrated to North America on 10. July, 1866.I asked Josef Kösters (born 1949), if Adam Kösters could be his ancesto r. He does not believe so. His father was named Gustav and his grandfath er Hermann (died at 58 years). He does not know the name of his Great-gra nd-father. A great-grandson was named August Kösters.In spite of this, I hope that your search will be successful.In your descendant list appeared also the name Anna Maria Elsbernd, born 1 6. December 1850. She was a cousin of Catherine Elsbernd, born 1866 and Wi lliam Elsbernd, born 1869. Catherine married Hermann Lammert, William mar ried Elizabeth Lammert. Hermann and Elizabeth were the children of my Gre at-granduncle Bernard Liesner-Lammert (born 29. August, 1835), who, in 186 7, emigrated to Minster, Ohio. Additional information can be found in t he enclosed Family tree.
With friendly greetings, Heinrich Liesner

146 16100    Alverne (Ellie) Broeren passed into the arms of her Heavenly Father on October 17, 2016, with her loving husband and family at her side. Waiting to greet her were her two special angels Margie and Mike Broeren.
Ellie was born on June 3, 1931 to the late Lester and Cora (Arts) Eiting. On November 28, 1950 Ellie married the love of her life, Paul Broeren at St. Francis Catholic Church in Hollandtown. This began a love story that has set an example for all of their family and touched the hearts of many. Paul and Ellie made many happy memories over the years. They shared a special smile and deep respect and affection for each other. They loved to dance- especially to polka music. In their home in Sherwood- polka music could be heard every Sunday.
They worked hard to raise a wonderful family of eight men. Apple picking, cherry picking, canning and cooking- it was a busy household and Ellie was an amazing wife and mother. Ellie sewed many of her clothes and the boy's clothes. Each of the gentlemen in her household were the proud owners of a leisure suit which she sewed in the fashion of that time.
Ellie was a great cook. People were always welcome- many Sundays a large pot of Chili was heating on the stove. Every week Ellie made homemade bread and many delicious desserts including her famous Apple Cake which to this day is a favorite of all of her sons.
She also crocheted for many years and every child, grandchild and great grandchild has a special blanket crocheted by her loving hands. You can feel her hugs as you wrap that blanket about you.
When Paul retired they starting wintering in Texas. They made many trips to Mexico and brought lots of treasures home to friends and family. Their Texas "family " became very special to them and they continued to gather with them and visit whenever they could. They traveled to many places including three trips to the Yukon where Ellie and Paul reunited with Broeren relatives. They traveled throughout the United States as well as Hong Kong, Germany and Holland. Always up for an adventure, Ellie especially loved her Hot Air Balloon ride and her elephant ride. They owned a small cottage in Bear Lake when the kids were younger and later purchased a small home on Bear Lake. Bear Lake was a beautiful spot that they enjoyed whether it was just the two of them or with family and friends.
Everywhere that Ellie and Paul went they made friends.
Paul and Ellie shared a deep commitment to their Catholic faith and attended mass every Sunday and Holy Day. While living in Sherwood they were both active at Sacred Heart Parish. They stayed connected throughout the years- rarely missing a Parish picnic.
Ellie is survived by her loving husband Paul Broeren and seven of her sons: Karl (Mary) Broeren, Northwood ND; Jim (Bev) Broeren, Sherwood, WI; Dale (Marcia) Broeren, Neenah WI; Roy (Cathy) Broeren, San Jose, CA; David(Sandy) Broeren, Kaukauna, WI; Chuck (Sue) Broeren, Kaukauna, WI; and John (Laurie) Broeren, Hilbert, WI. Ellie is further survived by her grandchildren Tim (Mary) Broeren, Jyl (Nick) Shute, Steve (Noelle) Broeren; Katie (Sam) Brantimeier; Jake Broeren; Bonnie (Vipin) Broeren-Gandra; Ben (Caroline) Broeren; Tyler Broeren, Abby Broeren; Kami (Chad) Clink, Keli Broeren (special friend Kyle); Danielle (Jose) Sanchez, Dustin Broeren (special friend Alicia Cullen), Mindy (Dakotah) Voet, Megan Broeren; Leigha Broeren, Chais Broeren, Cody Broeren (fiancé Amber Meyerhofer); many nieces, nephews, godchildren and friends. Paul and Ellie had eleven great grandchildren.

Today we mourn the passing of a great lady ñ our mother. Margaret Versteg en passed away peacefully in Michigan on Friday afternoon, September 21, 2 001 with her family at her side. She was 82 years old but lived a long, fr uitful and blessed life.Margaret was born on October 15, 1918 in Little Chute, Wisconsin, to Theod ore and Wilhelmenia (Minnie) Lamers. She was the second of six children.Margaret was educated at St. John's School and High School in Little Chut e, and the Appleton Business College in Appleton. After her marriage to Ge rald Verstegen on August 10, 1940, Margaret moved to Neenah with her new b eau, where they lived happily for the next 58 years. After her husband's d eath in 1998, Margaret moved to Michigan to be nearer to her eldest daught er, Marilyn, although Michigan was a place she never really called "home."Margaret was a longtime and devoted member of St. Margaret Mary Chur ch in Neenah. She was also a member of the Theda Clark Hospital Auxiliar y, the Menasha Club, the Tuesday Club, the YMCA of Neenah-Menasha, the Rid geway Country Club, and also a member of the W.N.E.G.A. (Women's Northeast ern Golf Association).Margaret and Gerald had four children, and Margaret's life centered on h er family. Her children provided her greatest pleasure. Mom always said h er happiest occasions were when her children, grandchildren and great-gran dchildren were born. She once said that "heaven" to her was being with h er children, so she looked forward to all family get-togethers. She was al so a good, competitive golfer and bridge player, giving that competitive s pirit to each of her children. Her morning routine of swimming 40 la ps at the "Y" or her morning walks of three to five miles hand in hand wi th her husband, were things to which she always looked forward. And, as so meone who loved to dance, her dance card at the Menasha Club was never emp ty. An avid bridge player, her children all vividly remember the many tim es when she'd come home with such happiness after she and her partner h ad made a "grand slam." Mom was also influential in running dad's real est ate business. Her business sense was good and it stuck with her. She stron gly believed in a good education, and encouraged her children to achieve t he highest education level possible. She believed "effort and persisten ce will prevail in achieving all goals." She also said "take each d ay as it comes and try to make some good and happiness in each of those da ys." These are a few of the truly memorable thoughts and events which wi ll remain with those of us who knew her, forever.Margaret is survived by her three daughters: Marilyn Keifer, Ann Arbor, Mi chigan; Deborah Verstegen, Charlottesville, Virginia; and Susan Versteg en Nolop, New York City; four grandchildren: Kathryn Silverman, Karolyn Ah ern and Michael and Nathan Nolop; three great-grandchildren: Matthew Barne s, and Emily and Zachery Ahern; and one brother, Paul Lamers, Little Chut e. Her husband of 58 years, Gerald, predeceased her on February 10, 199 8, as did her only son, Michael, on June 4, 1962.Lord, we do not complain that you have taken her from us, as she has le ad a full, productive and rewarding life. Rather, we thank you for givi ng her to us for so many wonderful years.Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 25, 200 1, at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church with Rev. David J. Koch officiatin g. Interment will be in St. Margaret Cemetery, Neenah.

169 16641    ROMAN ELPERT; In the spring of 1902, my father Joseph Elpert and Fred Till man came to Dolton, SD from Festina Iowa and purchased the General Sto re in Dolton as partners. In July of that year my father's fiancée Jenn ie Wolfe of Festina, Iowa came to South Dakota and on July 16 they were ma rried in the Catholic Church in Marion, SD by Rev. Garbig.Fred Tillman and Katherine Moellers were married in Festina that same yea r. In 1913 my father bought Tillman's share in the store and the name w as changed from Elpert % Tillman to Elpert's General Store. The U.S. Po st Office was also located in the store. Fred Tillman was appointed Postma ster in 1908. My father was appointed Postmaster in 1913 and served in th is position until 1942.There were two boys born to the Joseph Elpert family. Roman C. and Lawren ce B. Lawrence was a school teacher for a number of years, in September 19 40 he married Ruby Benda at Mitchell, SD. When my father suffered a stro ke in 1941, Lawrence was appointed Postmaster and also operated the stor e. He entered the military service in January 1944 and was killed in acti on on August 13, 1944; he is buried in the U.S. Military Cemetery, St. Jam es France. His wife Ruby, remarried in 1946 to Bernard Johnson of Brando n, SD.I was appointed Rural Mail Carrier at Dolton in 1940, retiring in 1974 aft er 34 years service. As my mother was in poor health as long as I can reme mber, when my father died in 1942 I was the only one left to care for he r, so I stayed home with her until her death in 1957.After my cousin Paul Elpert of Festina, Iowa returned from the military se rvice, I convinced him to come to South Dakota to see if he would be inter ested in the Elpert store, he took over operation of the store in March 19 46, was appointed Postmaster July 1, 1946 and bought the store in 194 7. In April 1959 I married Viola Gerleman of Calmar Iowa and continu ed to live in the house my parents built. In 1979 we sold the home and mov ed to Bridgewater, SD where we purchased a home and currently live

181 16811    Mr. Van Abel is a native of Holland, born February13, 1827, a son of Andrew Van Abel, a farmer in comfortable circumstances in that world renowned dairyland, and who was the parent of five children that lived to adult age, of whom three are yet living, viz: William, in holland township, Brown Co., Wis.; Ellen, living with our subject; and Martin. The father of these died in 1844, the mother, whose maiden name was Mary Kempen, passing away in 1863. They came with some of their children to Wisconsin in 1851, three years after Martin's emigration.Martin Van Abel received a fair education at the public schools of his nat ive land until thirteen years of age, when he went to work on a farm, a nd so continued untill his emigration to the United States, which event to ok place when he was 21 years old. Having been drafted intothe Dutch arm y, he concluded the best way to avoid service would be to "take French lea ve," and emigrate. Accordingly, on the good ship "Liberia," bound from Ams terdam for the United States, he in the spring of 1848, set sail from h is native land, arriving after a voyage of 54 days, at Boston. Thence trav eling westward via Buffalo (where he took passage on the "Old Michigan" ), he landed in Green Bay May 10 of the same year. From there he came to w hat is now Holland township, in company with the following named, who we re among the first settlers of the village of Holland: William Kempen, Hen ry Vandehey, Henry Hovener, Henry Gerrits, Martin VerKuile, Albert Vandenb erg, John Arts, George Vanden Heuvel, and John Verboort. At this time t he land was all new and uncleared, in fact, in its primeval condition, tot ally untouched by the hand of man, and here they decided to form a pure ly Dutch colony. In order that they might not only con¬verse in their moth er tongue, but also worship as they did in their faraway native land, th ey brought with them their own pastor, Rev. Godhart. The party came by w ay of Wrightstown, and from there continued their journey by teams, in t he direction of their destination; but at the end of three miles they fou nd themselves confronted with an impenetrable forest, defying farther prog ress with anything in the shape of horse and wagon; consequently the tea ms were left behind, and all the goods and chattels carried through the wo ods on the backs of the immigrant colonists.Arrived at last at their goal, they made their first settlement on a pie ce of land now owned by Martin Van Abel. Shanties or huts were hurriedly b uilt of bark stripped from the basswood tree, and for a long time this w as their only shelter. Each member of this party took up land for his o wn account.During the first year Martin Van Abel, being young and strong, worked f or some of the others who had families, and as there were no roads of a ny kind, boundaries, farms or fences, he found plenty to do at chopping do wn the giants of the forest, and out of the hewn logs building dwellin gs of a more substantial nature. The first land purchased by Mr. Van Ab el was forty acres, all timber-covered, in Calumet County, 1/2 mile from t he Village of Holland, for which land he paid 10 shillings per acre, and h ere he cut the first tree that ever fell to axe on the place, all the prel iminary improvements on the place being made by his own hand; and, as the re was no means of removing the trees as they fell, huge bonfires were mad e, which consumed many a thousand feet of valuable timber. About 1862 o ur subject removed to Section 35, Holland township, where for one ye ar he lived on rented land, then in Section 34 he bought the 12 acres wher eon is now his home.But Mr. Van Abel, since coming to Holland township, has been more interest ed in mercantile pursuits than in farming. Shortly after his arrival in t he Village of Holland, in partnership with his brother¬in-law, John Wassenberg, he opened out a mercantile business, conduct ed by them two years, at the end of which time our subject bought out h is partner and afterward carried on the store alone until 1880. In that ye ar fire destroyed his store and stock in trade,causing him great los s, as he had but little insurance. Nothing daunted, however, he rebui lt at once, bought a fresh stock, later adding thereto a saloon busines s, all of which he has since conducted with eminent success, the grow th of his trade necessitating the enlargement of his premises from ti me to time, until now he owns quite a commodious establishment. To his la nd he has, by purchases at different periods, added until now he has 130 a cres.In October, 1961, Mr. Van Abel was married, in Holland township, to Miss E llen Wassenberg, a native of Holland, born May 16,1842, a daughter of Will iam Wassenberg, who came to the United States with his family in 1851 on t he same boat in which the mother of our subject and others of the family c rossed the Atlantic. To this union came children as follows: Born in Calum et County --John, now a farmer of Holland township; born in the Villa ge of Holland --Mary, now the wife of Theodore Broeren, of Portland, Orego n; Hattie, Mrs. Henry Van Deuren, of Green Bay; William (1), deceased at t he age of 2 years; Minnie, one of the Sisters of St. Francis, in Manitowo c, Wis.; Michael M., at home; Henry H., a graduate of Green Bay Business C ollege; Lizzie, who died young; Annie, William (2) and Anton, all thr ee at home; Bardene, deceased; and Albert, at home. Mr. & Mrs. Van Abel a nd family are prominent members of St. Francis Church at Holland. Politica lly he has always been a staunch Democrat, and has served as supervisor, a lthough he has never sought office, his many private interests demanding a nd receiving all his time and attention.Mr. Van Abel is one of the four yet living of the original party of pionee rs who came into the Holland settlement in 1848 --nearly 1/2 a century a go during which long period he has witnessed marvelous changes and experie nced hardships unknown to and not readily realized by the present commerci al generation. He is a living type of the progressive man, who from boyhoo d, with but little education and no knowledge of the English language, eas ays to build up a home and reputation in the wilds of a new part of a n ew country, and succeeds by his own brawny muscle and indomitable will pow er. He was confronted with the stern forest, and he subdued it; he encount ered innumerable difficulties, and he overcame them; he met with ruinous a dversity, but Phoenix like, he built up better and higher. He and his amia ble wife had a large family to rear, and they brought them up nobly in t he backwoods, educating them as well as if they had lived in the finest ci ty; and taught them to know and to live up to the knowledge that they a re worthy children of worthy pioneer parents, respected everywhere.

192 18247    Shirley Jane Hurst, Kaukauna, age 92, passed away Saturday, April 1, 2017 at St. Paul Elder Services. She was born August 29, 1924 to the late Norman Sr. and Erna (Specht) Gerhartz. In 1948 Shirley was happily married to her sweetie, George "Zulie" Hurst and they were able to enjoy 45 wonderful years of marriage. They both had resided in Kaukauna all of their lives. George preceded Shirley in death in 1993.
Shirley graduated from Kaukauna High School in 1942 and would have had her 75th class reunion this June. She was always a fan of the Kaukauna High School and the Kaukauna Alumni. The Kaukauna Alumni honored Shirley with a dedication article in the May 1996 newsletter issue and it made her very happy. She had always spoken fondly of her 1942 classmates over the years.
Shirley moved from her Golden Venture Apartment to St. Paul Elder Services in 2010 and lived there for almost seven years. When family and friends wheeled her around the building she was greeted not only by many friendly staff members, but also by many Kaukauna visitors entering the building. St. Paul's was a perfect setting for our "social butterfly" Shirley. For several years she resided on Apple Tree Court and concluded her days by moving to Poppy Path. The staff on both units were the most loving and caring people at a nursing home that the family has ever encountered.
Shirley enjoyed her working days, her church, loved the Packers, golfing, bowling, traveling, reading, occasional exercise classes and doing good deeds for others … she was an expert at all of these things.
Shirley's faith and her church have always played a vital part in her life. She was a lifelong member of Immanuel United Church of Christ. While she was still able to physically participate in her church work, she was involved in the following: served the church school by first teaching the Primary Department and later becoming a co-superintendent with her sister for a total of 32 years, she sang with the Senior Choir for 50+ consecutive years, was the Senior Choir Treasurer, served on the Building Committee of the new sanctuary, and was active on the Board of Christian Education, Fellowship Team, and still participated in all church field trips and all church events.
Shirley was always gainfully employed during her healthy years. Her most recent position was that of Associate Cashier at the Bank of Kaukauna. She retired after 28 years of service, but again returned part-time to the bank in 1990 and did not retire until she was in her early 70's. Shirley had always been a "people person" and she certainly enjoyed working at the bank and dealing with the public.
Shirley was an avid baseball fan. Each summer, she and George attended the tournaments in Kaukauna and those held state-wide. They even attended a world baseball tournament and took a mini-holiday to Canada for even more professional baseball. Shirley and George were able to celebrate one of their wedding anniversaries on a wonderful three-week vacation, touring both Australia and Hawaii. They arrived home with many fond memories and tons of pictures.
Shirley was public service oriented all of her life and found many ways to be active in her community. Her involvement with some of these groups continued into her mid 80's. Shirley worked with John Lambie for many years as the Treasurer for Kaukauna Youth Baseball and was inducted into their Hall of Fame. She bowled in many leagues and was President of the Thursday Night League for many years. Shirley also had the honor of serving as the President of the 600 Club for a year and was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Central Fox Valley Bowling Association. Shirley was a Past President of the Kaukauna Hospital Auxilliary and the Past Matron of the Odile Chapter #184.
Shirley is survived by her sister and brothers-in-law: Mary and Jim Nussbaum and Harry Coenen. She is further survived by many dedicated nieces and nephews who were all very close to her, as witnessed by the love and attention they showed to her over the years.
In addition to her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by her husband George; her siblings and their spouses: Nancy Coenen, Patricia and Lee Nagel, Don and Marie Gerhartz, Sr. and Norm and Rosalie Gerhartz, Jr.; and nephews, Greg Coenen and Steve Gerhartz.
A celebration of Shirley's life will be held on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at IMMANUEL UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST (510 Sullivan St. Kaukauna). Visitation will begin at 9:00 a.m. until the time of Funeral at 11:00 a.m. The Rev. Gail Irwin will officiate. Committal Union Cemetery, Kaukauna. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established for the Immanuel United Church of Christ. To sign the guest book, please visit oconnellfh.com.

197 19037    Died – On Monday morning John Burke, another of Calumet County's pioneer settlers, joined the silent majority. Mr. Burke was in his 80th years, and his death was sudden and unexpected. He had been in apparently good health for some time previous to his death. Monday morning while eating breakfast he complained of a pain in his chest. Shortly afterward he went to his bedroom and lay down, where he passed away without a struggle. Mr. Burke was born in the county Galway, Ireland. In 1846 he came to America and located in Pennsylvania where he was married. In 1853 he came to Wisconsin and located on a farm in the southwest portion of the town of New Holstein where he remained until 1868 when he moved into the town of Rantoul where he has since resided. In 1893 his wife died and the following year he disposed of his farm and took up his home with his daughter, Mrs. Timothy Harlow. He was held in high esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances.
The funeral took place on Wednesday from St. Augustine's Catholic church of this city, of which he was a devoted member. One son, John, and four daughters, Mrs. T. Harlow, of Rantoul, Mesdames M. Connelly, M. Considine and F. Kehgel of Escanaba, mourn his death. 
198 19074    MRS. MARGARET GLASHEEN, 78, 115 E. Ninth street, Kaukauna, died at 12:30 last night at her home after a long illness. Mrs. Glasheen was born in 1860 in Calumet county and spent the last 40 years in the town of Buchanan and Kaukauna.
Mrs. Glasheen's maiden name was Margaret Hurley. She was born July 6, 1860, daughter of John and Eliza Hurley, early Chilton town settlers, who developed the farm now occupied by D. D. McHugh. She was married to Edward Glasheen at St. Augustine church here in 1895. After their marriage she and her husband settled on a farm in the town of Buchanan, Outagamie County. Her husband preceded her in death 18 years ago. Mrs. Glasheen moved to Kaukauna about three months ago to live with her nephew, William Glasheen.
Mrs. Glasheen is survived by two brothers, James Hurley of this city and William Hurley of Milwaukee.
As an early settler, Mrs. Glasheen knew the rigors of pioneer life. A devoted daughter, she assisted her parents and brothers in clearing the land for cultivation and did her full share to enable them to wrest a living from the soil under conditions that were backward and difficult as compared to the present day.
After her marriage, when she settled in Outagamie county with her husband, it was her lot to undergo pioneering experiences again in clearing and developing their modest homestead. For her courage, her sense of duty and will to work, she was held in high esteem by a large circle of friends both in this vicinity, where she spent her girlhood, and in Outagamie county where she spent the subsequent years of her life.
The funeral will be conducted at 8:30 Thursday morning at the Fargo Funeral home at Kaukauna with services at 9 o'clock at St. Mary's church at Kaukauna with the Rev. A. Roder in charge. Burial will be in the parish cemetery. Prayer services will be conducted at 7:30 Tuesday and Wednesday.

Donald Verhagen (brother of the groom) presided over Min's marriage to the love of her life, Sylvester Verhagen at Holy Cross Parish. Ves knew when they met that he would marry her one day, and what a blessing for them to have just celebrated 64 wonderful years of marriage!
Minerva was a true example of a homemaker, and her greatest joy was making a happy home for her husband and family, which included daily homemade meals, sewing handmade clothing, and keeping a clean and tidy home. She was an avid baker, sharing her special carrot cake and molasses cookies with family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who was lucky enough to purchase them at bake sales. And everyone knew their birthday cake was going to be special! Her delicious potato salad was always a must at family cookouts. Through the years, many family memories were made either camping, spending a week at a cottage, or travelling to Florida or Out West. Minerva and Sylvester shared their home with her mother, Bernice, for a number of years, and she also enjoyed being a part of some of these vacations.
In her younger years, Min spent much time volunteering at St. Aloysius School and Church, and she spent many years bowling weekly with friends. In her free time, she could always be found reading a good book, and she enjoyed playing cards with family and friends or trying her luck at the casino. Her grandchildren will always have fond memories of playing cards or games with her and Grandpa, or looking forward to one of her yummy meals or treats.
Min was a beautiful person, inside and out, and will be greatly missed by her family: she is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Sylvester; children: Gary of Eagle River and sons Seth (Heather) and Jacob (Leslie); Steve (Amy), Appleton; Michael, Appleton and sons Jason and Brandon; Mark (fiancée Sharon West) Appleton and daughters Valery (Pete) Splittgerber and Jolene (Paul) Verhagen; Laura (Greg) Huss, Combined Locks and children Christopher and Sarah (Bryan) Fourcand; Lisa (Bob) Van De Loo, Kaukauna and children Cindy (Andy) Vanden Heuvel, Emily (Sam) Verhagen, Tony (special friend Jolene Curry) and Scott; and Alan (Beth), Olathe, Kansas and children Spencer and Sloane; 11 great-grandchildren; and sisters and brothers-in-law: Virgie Meulemans, Richard Verhagen and Millie (Ervin) De Bruin. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

220 20580    APPLETON - The family of an Appleton woman killed in a hit-and-run crash in New Jersey this week is devastated.
Lori Coenen, 46, was found by police on a Glassboro, N.J., roadway at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. She suffered fatal injuries after she was struck by her boyfriend's pickup truck. Police have not said if Coenen was walking on the roadway when she was killed or if she died trying to get out of the pickup truck.
Lisa Wolfgram, Coenen's sister, said family members are struggling to cope with her sudden loss. Coenen leaves behind three children: Kurtis White, 27; Stephanie Meulemans, 20; and Keyarra Meulemans, 7.
"This is just an awful, awful, cruel way to lose her," Wolfgram said.
Coenen was in New Jersey visiting her boyfriend, 46-year-old Scott Jahnel of Pickerel, Wis., who travels the country working for a commercial construction company and was working in New Jersey at the time of the crash. Wolfgram said Coenen took long weekend trips to visit Jahnel whenever she could.
Coenen was a certified nursing assistant and was taking classes through Rasmussen College to become a registered nurse. She was employed at Willow Lane Assisted Living in Appleton.
"She was on the dean's list every semester, which she was very proud of," Wolfgram said.
One of Coenen's favorite pastimes was riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Wolfgram said her sister loved The Grateful Dead, and visited the site of Woodstock in White Lake, New York, the day before she died.

"She was just a very free-spirited girl. She would give her heart, her sleeve, anything to anybody to help them," Wolfgram said. "She was always there for many of us.
"The biggest thing we are going to hang onto is her laugh - she had a very contagious laugh."
Family and friends started a GoFundMe page Thursday to raise money for funeral expenses. Coenen did not have life insurance.
Memorials can also be dropped off in-person at any Fox Communities Credit Union branch or mailed to Fox Communities Credit Union, P.O. Box 6, New London, WI 54961. Checks should be made out to Kurtis P. White or Stephanie Meulemans, Coenen's two eldest children.

As of 1 p.m. Friday, the GoFundMe campaign raised nearly $800 of its $10,000 goal.
Funeral services for Coenen have not been scheduled.
Glassboro police are investigating the crash.
According to a statement released by the Glassboro Police Department, Jahnel left the scene of the crash, but returned a short time later. He told police Coenen jumped from his pickup truck and was struck.
Jahnel has been charged with driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of a fatal crash and endangering an injured victim. He is in custody at the Salem County Jail. His bail was set at $100,000.

224 20695    William (Bill) Cary Lenz left us unexpectedly on Monday, December 4, 2017 at the age of 60. He was living in Tustin, in his lifelong dream home on the lake.
Born on June 10, 1957 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton, Wisconsin, Bill was raised in Little Chute by David and Janice Lenz with sister, Lois, brothers Robert (Bob), James, and Timothy (Timmer). He attended Elementary, Middle and High Schools in Little Chute. He was active in football, lots of drug-doing and trouble-making throughout his high school years. Incredibly, Bill came to faith in Jesus Christ at age 18, thanks to a Billy Graham TV broadcast he chanced upon watching at the Lenz family cottage. He was never the same again. Following high school, Bill enlisted in the United States Coast Guard where he served our country and began his study of the Scriptures. After his four years in the Coast Guard, he attended a Bible College at World Challenge in Tyler, Texas. Then he became a youth group leader at Evangel Church in Menasha while working at WEMI radio station. There he met the love of his life, Janet [Gregg] Lenz. They were married on February 27, 1981. Wasting no time, together they started Solid Rock Ministries, and a year later founded the present-day Christ The Rock Community Church. He tirelessly gave himself to this church for the past 35 years.
He is survived by his wife, Janet, three sons: Ben (Jessie); Nate (Jenny); and Seth (Kate); grandchildren Michiah, Hadessa, William, Everett, Ezekiel, Moses, Eva, Theodore, Jedidiah, Lucille, and Thaddeus. He is also survived by an incredible extended family who loved this man dearly, and were loved well by him. He leaves behind a church body and staff at Christ The Rock that will miss him beyond what words can express. He is preceded in death by his parents, David & Janice Lenz; brother, Joey Lenz (at birth); brother, Timmer Lenz; and a wealth of people who are forever in eternity with Jesus because of his life's work and calling.
Bill was an avid fisherman, hunter, devoted husband, proud father, an in-love opa (grandfather), and lover of nature. Most of all, he was a fisher of men. You'd be hard-pressed to spend more than a few hours with him without Bill pulling out his Bible to spend some time with his Lord & Savior. He was our family's living "Bible Concordance" before our smartphones offered such amenities. He served on the Executive Board of the National Association of Evangelicals for nine years. He also served on the board for World Relief for a number of years. His work reached to Romania, India, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Israel, Haiti, Algeria, and remote bush villages in Alaska. His reach was worldwide and eternal, following his motto "let eternity be stamped on my eyeballs" perfectly. He couldn't even officiate a wedding without sharing the Good News of Jesus. He had a passion and love for peoples' hearts--desiring to see them tap into their own stories to find healing and hope in Christ. This passion led to the establishment of Character Development, a study course that has grown to become a truly life-changing class.
Bill had an undeniable love for Jesus, and an unstoppable love for the world. Wherever he went, he shared from his heart the Hope of Christ. Even throughout these days of funeral preparation, his wife and sons encountered countless people who tearfully expressed how their own lives had been impacted by him, whether business people, clerks, funeral and cemetery personnel, bankers…and on and on.
Bill has never fallen victim to depression in the past, but has battled it with a vengeance for the last 3 months. He sought and accepted help, but unfortunately for all of us, it wasn't enough to give us more time with him here on earth. Our hope in Jesus Christ is the same today as it was before this nightmare began. Please, if you're struggling with depression, don't go at it alone. Seek help.
There will be a visitation from 1:00pm-5:00pm at Christ The Rock Church in Menasha on Sunday, December 10, 2017, immediately followed by a worship service celebrating Bill's life at 5:00pm. Military Honors will follow the service with the Neenah/Menasha Veterans Honor Guard assisting.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established with Christ The Rock Church.

233 21819    HILDEGARD FRIEDA REIHER VANDENBERG
The story I'm about to narrate to you, was told to me about a month a go by a girl who just arrived in America from Germany. She came here as the wife of a United States serviceman and is now settled out in the Pacif ic Northwest. She is still a German citizen and will soon apply for Ameri can citizenship. The story she told is true. The names and places the sa me.Let me go back a number of years, to a little city of about 15,000 in Nort hern Germany where I was born and raised. Name of the city, Neustrelit z, a beautiful proud little city situated amongst a group of fresh water l akes surrounded by tall green forests. During the reign of the Kaise rs it was the home of the Dukes of the Province of Meklenburg, who's cast le is still standing.My parents named me Hildegard after one of my aunts I guess. I am the old est of five in the family and the only girl. Brothers names Gunther, Helm uth, Hans and Albert. My fathers name being Fredrick and mother Margarit a. I was born in 1922 not many years after the first World War. My fath er having fought in that war in France against the Americans, French and E nglish. I can remember him telling us children how the Germans had foug ht so very hard against great odds for the things they thought were righ t. Germany suffered a bad depression period, the years right after the wa r. My parents worked hard. My father in the factory and mother at ho me to provide us with our meager rations and the other necessary things f or small conforts and to keep us healthy. Germany had suffered terrib ly by losing that war and it affected all of us, even I as a little girl p robably could have had things much better. I can remember one year wh en my father was unemployed, we could not even afford a Xmas tree and t he things that go with Xmas. But we were all very happy just to be togeth er and we always managed some way to keep eating. We used to have a l ot of fun on Saturday when school was over for the week and during the sum mer vacations, a bunch of us girls would take our bicycles and with our li ttle lunch in our ruksacks, peddle for thirty or forty kilometers to the a djoining towns of Feldberg, Miraw and Roebel and then back home. Ev en at that time about 1928, an automobile was a rare item and only a ve ry very few Germans could afford one. One almost had to have royal ancest ors to be the owner of an automobile, so we nearly all had bicycles for tr ansportation or else we walked. The town of Neustrelitz being situated ne ar a large group of lakes provided us with plenty of water sports like swi mming and boating. We could follow the lakes and go from one to the oth er almost all the way to Berlin.After nine years of schooling, I had to quit because my parents could n ot afford to send me to high school. It's not like in America where hi gh school is free, in Germany one had to pay a certain sum each month to a ttend. Then I went to work in a grocery store to help defray the family e xpenses and to try and save some money for myself. Germany had just co me out of one of the worst depressions in history which was under the rei gn of President Von Hendenburg. I recall the different parties at the ti me trying to take office all promising a better life for all the peopl e. But the man to rule Germany was already chosen by Von Hindenburg to su cceed him. The man being Adolf Hitler, who rose out of obscurity from so me small town down in Austria into the diplomatic circles of Germany. V on Hindenburg made him Chancellor of Germany with full dictatorial power s. Immediately the country came out of the depression. Everyone had wo rk and plenty of money. Soon we saw large super highways being built conn ecting all the major cities of Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg a nd to points toward the neighboring countries of Holland, Belgium, Fran ce and Denmark, the reason for which we were soon to learn. "INVASION". A ll the factories were busily in production turning out new material not mu ch for civilian consumption. No one except a very few really knew just wh at was coming off the production lines. No one really much cared, we we re eating good, we all had jobs and I was saving money. maybe if I go ba ck through the years into history we see that the little province of Danz ig which lies north actually inside of Poland along the North Sea and w as a part of Germany and populated by Germans. The Germans being a minori ty amongst a majority of Polish were being persecuted and mistreated by t he Poles. The Polish Government wanting Danzig for their port and an outl et to the sea. Hitler using that for an excuse started threatening Polan d. He said no Germans will be persecuted and mistreated by a foreign nati on. Actually he had bigger, much bigger plans than to stop the mistreatme nt of the Germans by the Poles in Danzig. Germany has always been surroun ded and hemmed in amongst other countries, She had to expand, as our popul ation was increasing, we needed outlets to the sea if Germany wanted to co ntinue to prosper. We needed the Saar basin with all its natural resourc es a province too that like Danzig is all German but belonging to Franc e, through some result of the Treaty of Versailles.Adolf Hitler had big plans. He helped design an automobile and he promis ed that eventually every family would have one. He called it the Volkswag on meaning a "Folk Car". Very few German families acutally saw that pl an maturate.Together with the troubles I just mentioned came the Jewish problem. A ll the Germans are hard workers. They are not afraid of work. At that ti me there were approximately 15 million Jews in Germany and they had contr ol of all the big businesses. Very few ever did any manual labor, the Ger mans were doing all that. Hitler said any Jew who won't work for a great er Germany will have to get out of the country. Very few Jewshad ever taken the troubles to acquire German citizenship and these were t he ones he really wanted out of the country. Marshall Goering was swift ly building up the German Luftvoffe, the "air force". He loved to fly, th at was his only interest in life, never was a true Natzi. He loved to fl y, and next came fancy clothes, then lots of,medals and a good joke. Ev en during the war he paid 20 marks which is about five dollars to the pers on who could tell the best joke about him. I still remember a few of them .After much debating and squabbling back and forth between our country a nd England and France over the Polish situation we knew that war would so on come. On the night of August 31st, 1939, things started happening, t he regiments of soldiers stationed in Neustrelitz started marching throu gh the streets of the town following hundreds of tanks and trucks on the m ove leaving town and heading east. None of us slept that night becau se of the excitement, the singing of the marching soldiers and the nois es of the vehicles. we knew their destination - the Polish border and even tually the invasion of Poland. But we did not know that in the morni ng we would be in war with Poland, England and France. Our troops cross ed the Polish border that same night, our Luftvoffe started their bombin gs of Polish cities in the morning. The Polish army and their small Air F orce putting up stiff resistance with what they had, but the German milita ry might was too powerful, and if I remember, Poland surrendered in sev en days. We at home received the news of our victory with great exaultati on and Adolf Hitler immediately rose to greater heights and power in the e yes of the Germans and Austrians than any man in our histroy, even Bismar k, never received such honors after his victories many years before. Hitl er was our great leader, no longer will Germany be a suppressed natio n. In his speeches which I heard many times on the radio he use to say "D eutchland Uber Albs" which is the title of our great National Anthem meani ng Germany over all. With our great victory in Poland, we didn't worry t oo much that we were also at war with England and France and had to lat er contend with them. We thought at home that now Germany would come to s ome terms with England and France regardless of the alliance that exist ed between these two countries pledging their support to Poland. Hitler a nd his Natzi party knew the weakness of England and France. England nev er being able to fight an all out war by herself without the aid of Americ a. France being a carefree, fun loving, wine drinking nation. Germany w as strong and powerful now. We had just won a great victory. We were a ll wrong, England and France did not come to agreement with Germa ny as we all expected, so the German armies moved on this time through t he low countries of Holland and Belgium in about thirty days and on into F rance. France surrendering after a few days. Nothing could stop the Germ an military machine and Hitler rose to greater power. We all acclaimed h im as our great leader and were were compelled at home to say Hiel Hitle r, before starting work in the factories in the morning. Even the childr en in the schools had to say Hiel Hitler before classes convened for the d ay. We loved him and he--loved us, he brought Germany out of the great de pression and now he has brought us to victory in four countries. Franc e, the country where in 1917 Germany suffered the great humiliation and bi tter defeat now was a nation conquered and under the German occupation. T hen came the quick victories up in Denmark and Norway. Now we were sure t hat Germany would win the war and it would soon be over.A few months later came the joining up with Hungary and Rumania and acce ss to their oil fields. Oil for the great German Panzer Divisions. Russ ia being an inactive allie of Germany remained so until one morning we hea rd the news that skirmishes were taking place along the new German Russi an border. With the Germans we thought at first it must be a mistake b ut then we eventually learned that day that Germany had declared war again st our own allie "Russia". My oldest brother, Gunther, not yet reaching t he regular draft age of 18 years had already enlisted. Nothing could ho ld him at home, he wanted to go. He became a member of our SS troops a nd got extra training from that of the regular soldier. Their duty in t he war was to seize a town or city when the regular troops had failed, al so to set up the occupation. He received his training near the city of Ha nover.and then was immediately sent up to the Russian front where he suffe red a bad wound in the shoulder from the explosion of a hand grenade ne ar the city of Kiev and was then sent home for a convalesance period of ab out six weeks. He could have remained in Germany then or go to one of t he other countries as a member of the occupation army. He wanted to get b ack into the fighting again in Russia and help finish the job he had start ed up to the time he was wounded. The German army by now was knocking on t he gates of Maccan and was deep down in the Ukraine fighting the batt le of Stalingrad. My fathers two brothers were also gone to the Russia fr ont to help fight. By now Germany had so many countries to occupy with tr oops that the age limit was going down to even younger men than 18 and old er men up to 60. Germany then started losing men heavily. Before all o ur victories were by machine but now it was by blood. America having join ed Russia under a lend lease act was now pouring billions of dollars in eq uipment into Russia and it was soon felt by our armies. We were about t wo thousand miles into Russia and our supplies of ammunition, etc. was t oo slow in catching up and could not match the equipment being se nt in by the Americans together with their own equipment. Also the fact t hat she had us outnumbered about 2-1, and the severe Russian winter was t oo much for our armies, so then for the first time we started a retreat ba ck toward the borders of Germany.At home we continued to eat fairly well, although clothes, shoes, etc. w as hard to get and rationed. I ate better than most as I continued worki ng in the grocery store. By now I had a nice little sume of money saved f or the future when I would possibly marry. I done without many nice thin gs that every girl my age craves and needs in order to save.I had a few romantic ideas about a certain German boy from a nice fami ly - but he too soon left for the Russian Front. Every man that cou ld be possibly spared at home was drafted into the Army and sent awa y. In order for the population to keep eating, the farmers needed hel p, as most of their sons had left, so the authorities came into the citi es and drafted all the girls to work on farms. I guess they needed help m ore than I realized because I, too, soon found myself working, pitching ha y, corn planting and picking up potatoes and other farm work along wi th a bunch of other girls. They put us in, a camp surrounded by a gro up of farms and we had to go from farm to farm to assist where ever necess ary. I worked hard and so did all the others - we had to. I heard that t he American propaganda was telling the American people that these German y outh camps like I was in put the boys and girls together and encouraged fr ee love to help produce the next generation. That's all it was, just pla in propaganda. Not true. We ere about 30 girls in a camp and under stri ct supervision. I still have many pictures showing the girls in a group a ll in uniform. One picture shows us in a circle around the flag pole whi ch we had to do every morning and evening to raise and lower the Natzi fla g.The nearest boys camp was many miles away. That kind of propaganda ma de us mad. We Germans have always tried to be of the highest moral charac ter and turpitude. After our retreat in Russia and losing about three mil lion men, something worse happened. America entered the war as an ally wi th England, France and.the conquered countries and immediately started ma ss bombing raids of our cities. The Americans by day and the British by n ight. In the meantime I had to return to my home in Neustrelitz to he lp my mother who was ailing and also to work at the store where I worked b efore. I remember the day, December 7, 1941, they told us that we were n ow at war with the U.S. My father said now Germany will lose the war, S he cannot even hope to win with the U.S. also fighting us. That was a bla ck day for Germany. But the German propaganda kept telling us Germany wi ll still win over all, we will keep fighting. They never told us everythi ng. our newspapers and radios were censored and they just told us the thin gs they wanted us to hear to keep up our courage to go on. Amidst the hea vy bombings came the surrender of our very poor ally, the Italians, who tu rned face and started to fight side by side with the Americans against u s. Now we were completely surrounded by enemy forces and conditions beca me worse as each new day arrived.We at home noticed the gradual decrease of the number of Jews in our town s. We had remembered the ultimatum to the Jews laid down by Hitler, eith er go to work or else get out of the country. I remember during my lat er years in school, how the Natzi officers came to our school and to ld us to provide them with a history of our family tree. I had no troub le doing that, because my ancestors had all lived in and around Neustreli tz and they were all full blooded Germans, as far as I could check ba ck a couple hundred years. However, some of the children., who thought th ey were all German found out differently after checking back into the reco rds. A girl friend of mine in my class who always had the highest mar ks in the class, found out that she was part Jewish. one day soon after, s he failed to show up for school. I never saw her again, to this day I won der about her fate. I wonder if she too ended up in the concentration cam ps of Buchenwald or Dachaur like millions of other Jews. We at home nev er knew these concentration camps for Jews even existed. Joseph Goeble b, the propaganda minister restricted such news. We were as shocked as t he rest of the world was at the termination of the war, when we heard th at those camps existed and saw the horrible pictures of the bodies pil ed up one upon the other around the ovens. Six million Jews perished in t hose camps. Mostly from starvation and disease. And then were burn ed up in the ovens as normal burial was too slow and complicated. Mo st of them perished toward the end of the war when Germany was being heavi ly bombed and losing on all fronts. Hitler said the German army will be t he first fed and then will come the mothers and children and then the me n. Our rations were becoming less and less as the war years went on. Mo st of us were working and subsisting on about 800 calories a day whi ch is nearly a starvation diet. So naturally there was little if any fo od left over to feed the Jews in the camps, so most of them perished.All our cities were provided with air raid shelters called "Bunkers", thi ch concrete enclosures with very small openings for a little fresh a ir to enter. They were always damp, dard and cold and smelled foul. Berli n, which is only about 180 kilometers south of our town and Germany's larg est city and Capital was one of the main targets for the allied bombers co ming from England. They had to pass right over our town to get to Berli n. It was continuous air raids. When the bombers were heading for Berl in they would sound the air raid sirens and we would have to drop our wo rk and run for the Bunkers and remain there until the all clear.Sometimes as high as a thousand planes would come over at one time just dr opping occasional bombs on the little cities like Neustrelitz, just enou gh to give us a demoralizing effect. Most of the planes going on to Berli n, the big target. But upon arriving there, the city of Berlin would some times put up such a huge flak of anti air craft fire that some of the bomb ers would not attempt to penetrate it and so would turn around with the ir loads of bombs and head back home. They had to dispose of their bom bs before landing back in England so they would drop their deathly lo ad on the little cities along the way. Sometimes we would just get an a ll clear signal and could leave the Bunkers and then there would be a n ew raid. Getting out of our beds a couple times each night and running f or the burnkers after a hard days work in the factories and hearing the bo mbs dropping and exploding on the earth above you continuously for sever al years drove some of the people insane and had a terrible demoralizing e ffect on all of us. After a long period of ceaseless air raids over our c ity some nights, I felt like I didn't care if a bomb dropped on our hou se or not. We were always tired and hungry. My mother always made me g et out of my bed at night and go to the Bunker for shelter. I didn't mu ch care no more what happened.I failed to mention besides the thousands of American and British planes c oming over, Russia too was now bombing us. It got so I could distingui sh the different countries planes by the sounds of the motors. Russial§ pl anes I remember had a very low hum.Slowly but surely, Germany was giving up. Rommel lost Africa, our armi es were forced to surrender in Italy, the Allies had landed in Normandic a nd freed the low countries and France. Our Russian Front was disintegrat ed and we were being closed in from all sides. We knew the terrible end w as near. General Patton with his armored divisions had moved into West Ge rmany and was swiftly moving across our country toward Berlin. And the Ru ssians moving into East Germany heading west. My brother was captur ed by the Americans near Bavaria and put in prison, because he belong ed to an SS Division, he was harshly treated. The Allies always had a bit ter resentment to all SS troopers. They always thought they were cruel, c old blooded creatures. Actually they were no worse than any one else - ju st better trained soldiers, that's all. The Russian army was now outsi de of Berlin and shelling it heavily. We were scared, real war was now ri ght in our backyards. What to do? We knew that the Russians would ha ve no mercy on us when they arrived in our town. We always heard that t he Americans were a little human. A few days later the Russians were outs ide of Neustrelitz and then started firing shells into th city, at the sa me time enemy planes bombing us. We didn't know what to do. We were plen ty scared. We all had orders from the authorities that when we would he ar a continuous 10 minute blow on the sirens that meant the Russian tank b attalions were entering the city and we were to liave our clothes and a li ttle food packed and were to evacuate the city and head for the woods. Af ter about three days it came, so my father, mother and brothers and myse lf put our things on a little wagon and left the house and headed out of t he city to the woods. My father previously had picked out a spot in the w oods, that he thought would be a good place to hide and would affo rd us a little safety. It was in a little valley between high hills. B ut as the Russians entered the city and started battling the German Divisi ons in the city, German guns from right above us on the hill started openi ng fire on the Russians. We did not know that these guns existed till th ey opened fire. They were firing right over our heads. My mother was cry ing and going into hysterics. A German office came down from the hill a nd told us we better move as we would get killed amidst the shell fir e. My father said we will probably get killed no matter where we go and w anted to stay. But the officer was insistent and so we loaded everythi ng on our little wagon again and proceeded on to a little road, but we h ad trouble with our wagon. My father and mother pulling and my brothers a nd myself pushing. The wheels wouldn't turn because the German tanks h ad uprooted the road so terribly. As we were struggling along with the wa gon, soon we saw branches of the trees breaking off from shell fire alo ng the road and a group of German soldiers came running out of the woods a nd hollered to us, the Russians are coming, they are right behind us "g et out, get out". And they told me I'd better not stay when the Russia ns move in as they fought in Russia and knew what would happen to a you ng girl. So then the German army started their retreat back west, they kn ew it would be better to be captured by the Americans than the Russian s. So I looked at my father and he said "I'll leave it up to you,if you w ant to leave. I had to make my decision fast and I chose to leave. My mo ther by now was sobbing and almost uncontrollable, so I kissed them go od by right there on the road, got on my bicycle and with no extra cloth es or food, started west following the retreating German army tank s. As I traveled on for several miles, I was joined by another gi rl on a bicycle and then a ways farther, three more joined us. Came the f irst evening, we had to find a place to sleep, just any where's would be g ood. We were tired and hungry. We stopeed at a farm house and asked t he owner if he could give us a place to sleep. He said yes, if you can fi nd room in the barn. Entering the barn, we saw it was nearly all occupi ed with other people, soldiers and other refugees. They were people li ke myself all trying to escape-to the West. We found a place between t he cows and got some rest. Some German soldiers had stolen a slab of bac on from some farmer and together with a couple potatoes we managed to ha ve some breakfast in the morning, cooked on the stove in the farmers kitch en. We hurriedly left after breakfast and continued on our westward tre k. For five more nights we had to do the same thing, begging somethi ng to eat and a place to sleep. one of the nights we had to sleep outsi de as the barns were already filled with people. On the 6th day, we arriv ed in a little town near the Elbe river. Some little boy told us that t he American army was in the next town. So the German soldiers'that we we re following threw all their ammunition and guns into a small pond near t he town and decided to surrender to the Americans. As we arrived near t he next town, there were thousands of American troops lined up and as ea ch German soldier would approach with his hands behind his head he was sea rched and then was passed through into a concentration camp. Even we gir ls they frisked for guns and we ended up too in the same camp as the soldi ers. After being questioned by an Army officer I tried to answer the be st I knew how with the little English I could remember from school. He fi nally told us we could go and then we had to pass another group of America ns who were confiscating all our possessions. All I had was the bicyc le so one of the American soldiers grabbed it away from me and thr ew it on a pile and stepped on the spokes. He done the same to the oth er girls.Finally reaching the Elbe River, we found thousands of refugees like us a ll in camps along the river. All the bridges had been blown up and no o ne could cross .without help. So we joined one of the refugee camps and s tayed there for a period of about six weeks. They had big field kitche ns set up in the open. our main diet was soup and very poor soup it wa s. We nearly starved, we had to get out of there. We went to different f armers along the river and asked each one if we could work for them in exc hange for something to eat and a place to sleep. After asking about twen ty farmers we finally found one who felt sorry for us and took us in. Ame rican soldiers were stationed all along the river and were guarding again st any Germans from crossing, they had an agreement with the Russians th at all East Germans were to remain on the east side of the river. On ly a certain few were allowed to cross. Finally several American soldie rs said they would help us across by smuggling us in the back end of the ir truck. But when the time came to do so, they could not do so as some o fficer got wise to their plans and they left without us. In the meantime t he Americans and Russians had come to terms after the final surrender of G ermany as to dividing up our country. The Russians were to get that pa rt of Germany up to the Elbe River and so we knew if we were to keep cle ar of them we would have to get across that river. All night long they we re training flood lites up and down the river to watch for escaping refuge es so we did not dare to go across at that point, so we went farther on do wn the river to a village and there we heard that if we would contact a ce rtain man who owned a boat, he would take us across. So we were fortuna te and found the party after much asking and he loaded us in his boat a nd rowed us across. There were many others going over at the same tim e. On the other side of the river we came to what was referred to as No M ans lands so for 12 miles we were going through woods so no one would s ee us. We were determined to get to the American zone. After 2 days a nd nights through the woods we came across an American guard who to ld us we couldn't come into the American zone as it was his job to watc h. But he said if we waited till 5 o'clock the next morning, the guards w ould be off and then possibly we could get through. We slept that nig ht in the woods again till five in the morning and like he told us, the re was no one on guard so we walked right through And at last we were in t he American zone.Some Germans gave us something to eat and then we started hitch hiking wi th anything that would stop and give us a ride. One of the girls had rela tives in Hanau a city near Frankfurt, so we decided to go there. Maybe th ey could help us and, too, we wanted to get as far into the American zo ne as possible. We didn't want the same thing to happen again where the A mericans would give the Russians more territory and then we would ha ve to move again.Next day or two we arrived in Hanau. We could no',- locate this girls rel atives as they were bombed out, either killed or had left town. I final ly found a job in Offenbach near Frankfurt and then became acquainted wi th some American family who had just arrived there for the occupation a nd then went to work for them as a housemaid. From one American,fami ly to another I worked. At first just for a place to sleep and eat and la ter as the occupation got stronger for a few marks a month. A year lat er I applied for a visa to go to Switzerland to work and after much red ta pe I got on the train and two days later arrived in Zurich, a very pret ty city in the Alps. I got a job in a Swiss restaurant where I had to wo rk in the kitchen cleaning pots and pans and later as operator of an eleva tor raising and lowering food trays from the kitchen in the cellar to t he dining room above. My hardest part there was to learn the French langu age as everything is French in most of the larger Swiss restaurants. I li ked it in Switzerland even though I did have to work hard and I was very l onesome. After two years I had to give up work in the restaurant as I bec ame ill and could not eat properly. The rich food served was too much f or my system. I could not even stand the smell of greasy food. The chan ge was too much from the poor diet I had to subsist on during the long w ar years. I was forced to return to Germany and to the doctor where I h ad treatments and to where I had some acquaintances.It was then I found out my mother had died in the meantime of Typhus d ue to the contaminated water due to the bombing of my home town. She w as dead six months before I knew it. So I decided to go back home and he lp my father and brothers. Getting back to Neustrelitz was not much troub le as it is easy to get in the Russian zone but hard to get out. Arrivi ng home, I was almost sick to see the condition. The Russians had stol en most of our things when t

How the Catholic Church in Winneshiek and Surrounding Areas Got Starte d.
The first church in our diocese was St. Raphael in Dubuque, which was foun ded in 1833. Four years later it became a cathedral as bishop Loras was or dinated. Iowa became a state in 1842. The church here started out as an I ndian mission. The Winnebago tribe was relocated from Wisconsin to Fort A tkinson, and the fort was build to protect them from the Sioux. As ma ny of the Winebagos were converts, the bishop sent Father Remigius Per ot to attend to their spiritual needs. He arrived early in 1842, but did n ot stay very long as the Presbyterian minister of the fort gave him troub le (his woodshed was actually burned down).
Father Joseph Cretin from Dubuque arrived early in 1843; he stayed until 1 849 when the Winnebagos were sent back to Minnesota. Soon after his arriva l;, with the help of the Indians and a few white settlers he build a wood en church. It stood East of the current catholic cemetery on the farm whe re now the Philipp Huber family lives (the church was destroyed by a prair ie fire in 1853). One year later Father Cretin build a small school on t he reservation and later a small chapel, which he called "Our lady of t he seven sorrows" because of the many problems he encountered during his c are for the Indians.
After Father Cretin left in 1849 there was a short interruption. Howeve r, in the same year a group of Catholic families from Indiana and the surr ounding areas moved in and settled in the reservation. Frank Huber donat ed 20 Morgen (about 15 acres) to the diocese, and most of the wooden build ings were relocated close to the place where now the "littlest church" sta nds. In the same year Bishop Loras sent a priest from New Vienna to take c are of the spiritual needs of the immigrants, who visited every three mon ths. Later the priests from Guttenberg came to visit monthly. Catholics fr om far away came to attend the services.
Then, in either 1853 or 1854, the wooden church burned to the ground. Ma ny thought it was arson. A new church was built with wood in 1854, b ut in two stages. The church stood northwest of the church offices.
In the following year, Philipp Laurent came to Festina, as it was now know n, and Festina became the main church for all in this area and the surroun ding parts. One story tells of a couple who came all the way from north W ashington so they could be married in the in the church in Festina. The w ooden church was used until 1861, when the current stone church was dedica ted.



Short History of the Elsbernd Family
The family name is unusual in the old country and here. An uncle of my fat her came to Cincinnati in the early years of 1850. He is, as far as we kno w, the first and only one with that name who came here before my father a nd his brothers who followed. All Elsbernds in the USA derive their orig in from these three, and all came from the same family in Legden, Westphal ia. According to family tradition, as told by my father, the name is a com bination of "Els"" from the German word "Else" (a small tree that grows al ong river shores) and "Bernd", an abbreviation of the Christian name Bernh ard. Originally, it probably meant Bernhard who lives near the Elsen tree s. The name appeared on a document for the first time in the 15th centur y. The name was recorded in a register of soldiers serving the Archbish op of Cologne. Nothing further is known about that Elsbernd. At that tim e, the archbishops were feudal lords who administered parts of the kingd om and thus they had soldiers. The name appeared again in church recor ds of the Legden parish. There it is recorded that a certain Elsbernd (Chr istian name illegible) was married in 1515 to Annaken ten Sundarz. From th ere on a direct line can be traced up to our ancestors.
According to custom (observed even today), the first-born sons were the on es who always inherited the family homestead and, on the day of their marr iage, became "Buhr" (Low German for Farmer). Each then had the obligati on to let his parents and all siblings remain in the family home, the latt er until they became of age or married. When they left the house, they re ceived some money as their share of the inheritance. That is how the fa rm existed for 400 years and how it will continue to exist in the future.
Bernard Elsbernd, the oldest living son of the marriage of 1616, became "B uhr" when he married Maria Wenning. Gerhard Elsbernd, their oldest son, ma rried Adelhard Buschmann. Joan Bernard Elsbernd married Anna Margaretha Me ssing and inherited the family farm. Joan Herman Elsbernd (1770-1835) w as the next in line. He married Elisabeth Elperts. He was the grandfath er of my father. Bernard Herman Elsbernd, the father of my father marri ed twice. Bernard was born in 1812 (the year in which Napoleon suffered h is disastrous loss in Russia), and died in 1888. He married twice. By h is first wife, he had a daughter, Anna Catharina, who married a Mr. Hille r. There is nothingelse known about her. His first wife died early, and then, Bernhard Herm an married Anna Catharina Heitkemper (1819-1892). Seven children come fr om this marriage:
1. Catharina (1842-1920) She married Franz Mi)ö)ller in Germany. after h is early death she came to Festina in 1888 with her 3 children. there, s he remarried, a Mr. Gehling.
2. Gerhard Hermann (1848-1923) The oldest son who inherited the farm.
3. Anna Maria (1850-1933) She was the first of the family who came to Fest ina at the age of 19 years. In 1870 in Festina she married Johann Elpe rt whom she knew already before she left Germany.
4. Bernhard (1853-1915) He came to Festina at the age of 30, married Elisa beth Schlattmann, also an immigrant from Legden. They settled in various p arts of the West. Finally reched/settled downs in Crosby, North Dakota.
5. Joseph (1856-1936) My father. He arrived in Festina in 1875 at age 1 9. There he married and stayed as a farmer. This book tells about his ance stry.
6. Klara (1859 - ) She remained in Legden where she married Gerhard Gossli ng (1859-1940) a farmer. She had 10 children. Klara is the mother of Joha nn Gossling who came to Festina in 1925 and married Auguste Hartmann in 19 25. (This was the first marriage ceremony I performed as a priest). They s ettled near Festina for a while, then moved to Lawler where Johann Gossli ng died in 1972.
7. Sophia (1862-1924) She arrived with her brother Hermann in Festina in 1 883. There she married John Tilkes. They settled near North Washington whe re both are buried.
The first Elsbernd, that we know something about and is the forebear er of all Elsbernds throughout the world - as far as we know - marri ed in 1616. Between him and my father, who married in 1880, are sic gener ations - a total of 264 years. That means, each generation is 40 years! W hat's the reason? There are many! They married late, the first child was n ot always a son. A lot died young from diseases and epidemics. Others di ed on the battlefields in numerous wars that swept across Germany in pa st centuries. We in USA, who never lived through an invasion, cannot poss ibly imagine the destruction that a war can bring to a country.
Father left Germany at 18 years, to avoid the mandatory military servic e. The small Prussian state had under the direction of the infamous Chan cellor Bismarck conquered the smaller German states and unified them und er Prussian rule. The catholic West German states suffered under his prot estant government, which was an additional attraction for Catholics, to em igrate to the new land, which offered them religious freedom.
After a long trip, Father landed in New York. With the train he came to O ssian. The current Milwaukee line was extended to Calmar in 1869 by McGre gor. No doubt the train transported goods for the work groups further wes t. From Ossian he went on foot to Festina with just 5 dollars in his pock et.
In Festina he lived with his sister Anna Elpert, who had come six years ea rlier. At first he completed odd jobs: clearing land of tree stumps (f or one stump he got 15 cents, less for smaller ones), carrying stones f or building houses (the house of Tony Gerlemann east of Rogers farm was bu ilt of stones, that he had carried from the old quarry from Romualds Far m) and other odd jobs, that were to be had. During winter he made wood en shoes, that were in fashion in those days. This was an occupation th at he knew and that he had learned as a boy; he made 4 to 6 pairs in one d ay. They were made in the cellar of our house and in the evening by the l ight of a kerosene lamp finished upstairs in the family circle. He did th is work until 1910, when the demand for wooden shoes receded.
Festina was at this time still a raw boundary city. There was a brewery ( parts of the buildings still stand today west of town) and 13 saloons. Fat her Augustin Saufer, the pastor, tried to rid the town of them but he h ad to fight against must resistance from the local gentlemen. They thr ew stones against the church building, broke windows and threatened with v iolence. The pastor was afraid and asked my father, to sleep in the pari sh house, until the storm had settled.
Most of the grain was harvested by hand. Long scythes were used to cut t he corn down; others followed and collected the stalks to tie them into bu ndles using a handful of the stalks. Then the bundles were placed in a pi le to allow them to dry out. Afterwards the grain was separated from the s talks by means of flails. This took many hours. Migrant workers followed t he ripening corn from the south. They were a rough bunch and since fath er refused to work in the hot sun if he did not have a jug of beer ne ar a shady tree themigrant workers must have kept the brewery and the saloons alive. Fath er remembers that some years later the first mechanical harvesters appeare d. These consisted of a simple horse-drawn platform on which the grain cut tings fell. A worker stood at the side of the platform and used a ra ke to sweep the cuttings aside when a complete bundle had been collect ed on the platform. The men following behind the platform bound the bundl es by means of a handful of straw. Undoubtedly father was doing this wo rk since he was very good at tying loose bundles together that the bind er had lost. Father vividly remembers theuproar when a certain farmer bought the first McCormack mechanical binde r. On Sundays many farmers came from far and wide to look at the wonderf ul and funny thing. Its disadvantage was that it bound the sheaves with wi re that had to be cut and moved away by hand before the bundle came into t he thresher. Later machines used twine.
The stone church in Festina had been built 14 years before he arrived ther e.In this church he married Maria Möllers in autumn of 1880. Friar Sauter ma rried them. In the same year he became a citizen of the USA. They made the ir home in Festina in a house that was located on the side that is present ly occupied by Mrs. Joe Einck. Anna was born here. He continued his work u ntil they bought a farm in Springfield, north of Ossian (now called Wiltge n-farm) in 1884. This is where Mary was born. They only worked on the fa rm for one year and sold it for the same price for which they had boug ht it. Then theybought a farm from Henry Wenthold located to the south of Festina (present ly the property of MR. Wenthold). The other children were born on this far m.
Father was not used running a farm, particularly not an American-style on e. I still remember well having visited a cousin in Germany in 1933 who o wned something that looked like a huge farm for that region. Father had o nly one horse. In order to plow the field, he tied the horse and the c ow together, which were supposed to then pull the plow.Mother however had grown up on a farm, and in the first years, she ran t he farm more or less. But father learned; he was soon free from debt, pro vided well for the large family and saved enough to be able to buy a larg er farm and to hire farmhands instead sending them out as rented worke rs to others.
Toward the end of the year 1908, the 120-acre farm was sold for 80 dolla rs an acre. A farm that was twice as large in area was bought from Mrs. H enry Cremer at 89 dollars an acre. It was divided later between John a nd Alois. Now Ray and Roger live on it. The new farm drove father into l arge debts. He was a man, who worried about the people, whom he employ ed and to whom he had to pay wages. This was often made clear in discussi ons.
One day, as he was again moaning because of the large debts and his inabil ity to pay the wages, we reassured him that if he worked hard and it wou ld not be long, until he was free from his debts. He was sure that we we re wrong. So he agreed to buy a car, in the year in which we were free fr om debt. With the inflation, that the First World War brought, the deb ts were gone, and we reminded him of his promise. And so we got our fir st auto, a Ford Model T. It cost 380 dollars. For us, it was the greate st of luxury. We could drive to church past all the farmers, who were sti ll dependent on horse and wagon.
Until 1916 the roads were bad; Under or over each hill there were ho of or wheel marks. The first road grader, pulled by an early model tracto r, appeared, in order to make the road to Calmar useable by cars. Willi am Ehler operated it, and my brother Johnsteered the tractor. Now the road was passable by cars, except in wint er when it was blocked by snow, and in spring, when the deep, soft mud cau sed the wheels to get bogged.
In Jan 1925 my parents and Frances moved from their farm into a newly bui lt house in Festina (it now belongs to Rudi Luetkenhaus.) Father couldn 't remain idle. He bought a cow, two pigs and a few hens and continued h is farming on a small scale, until his poorconstitution made this impossible. Both parents died in the same year, 19 38, only 6 months apart. They now rest in the cemetery in Festina.
An uncle of father's, on his mother's side, Gerhard Heitkemper, came to Fe stina early in 1859. He died of an illness only few months later. His w as the first burial in the in the new cemetery bordering the church. Befo re this burials were in the old cemetery of Festina, east of the hou se of Miss Catherine Mi(ö)ller. Still earlier people were buried at the "o ld Mission" .

Maria Moellers (1861-1938), My Mother
Her father, Henrich Moellers, was born in 1823 in Telgte in Westfali a. At the age of 23 my mother came with her younger brother Bernard, 1 7, to Festina. She was among the first settlers in the region if Festin a. The Iowa Indian territory was opened to white settlement only eight ye ars earlier. Fort At(k)inson was still occupied by soldiers who were prote cting the Winnebago tribe (driven there from the other side of the M issis sippi)from their enemies, who held their traditional hunting grounds. A C atholic priest was stationed in the fort for the soldiers and the Indian s. The wooden church was built on the old military trail somewhere betwe en the Brinks, now Huber farm and the Catholic cemetary. Without doubt, He nry and his brother attended this church, on foot at that.Pioneers were very used to moving around. In 1848 the government beg an to move the Indians onto the reservation in Minnesota. The chaplain le ft them. Next year a group of six Catholic families came from Indiana a nd settled on the abandoned Indian Reservation. They soon built the large st wooden building on the reservation and established it on the site whe re now the "smallest church in the world" stands. It was named "Our La dy of Seven Aches/Pains/Sufferings/Anguishes (take yourpick)". The same y ear Priests from New Vienna and later from Guttenberg came to hold regul ar church services with the first settlers. Grandfather was certainly o ne of the worshippers in this wooden church. It was at the time the on ly Catholic church in this region and people came from from Waucoma, Spill ville and West Union. In 1853 or 1854 someone set the wooden church on fi re. It was thus completely destroyed. Immediately the settlers began to b uild a new church, but in two Fruehjahren, as Festina was then called. Th is wooden church stood northwest of the present rectory. In this small ch urch Henry married Anna Tegelkamp, born in 1828; also an emigrant from Tel gte in Westphalia. Reverend Louis Decailly married them.It was the 19th marriage that taken place in the church that year.
The current stone church was built around 1860 (dedicated 1861). Togeth er with the stone church, the current cemetery was also put into operatio n. The first man who was buried at this cemetery was an uncle on my father 's maternal side, Gerhard Heitkemper, who died in 1859. Up until his wedd ing grandfather had a herd of sheep and did odd jobs.Then he bought a farm, measuring 120 morgens. The land had earlier been g iven to a certain Mills Beddach, a captain of the Virginia Militia, as a r eward for faithful services. He however never came to take possessi on of the farm. His widow sold it for 2 dollars a morgen to Henry. It w as untilled soil, which had been never touched by a plow. Here he beg an to cultivate the land using oxen as beasts of burden. His son Willia m, who modified the name to Mi(ö)ller, and the grandchildren (the Miller b rothers) continued the agriculture until recently. Now Steve Einck liv es on the farm, who married Marylin
Humpal, a great-great-granddaughter of Henry.
The life of the settlers was hard. A rough hewn log cabin served as hom e. No, no carpets, not even a cement floor, no electricity with all the a menities and comforts, no railway, no proper roads, but simple paths betwe en the fields, no telephone and no newspapers, no fuel for heating and coo king except wood. Tallow candles were the first source of oil three year s, after Henry had begun farming in Pennsylvania. The few businesses, whi ch operated in small towns, made these in exchange for eggs and other fa rm products. They traded for goods and not cash.
In order to sell grain, for instance wheat, for cash, one had to bri ng it to McGregor, since the river was the only route of transportation. T he way with an ox truck, which did not have springs, took four to five da ys on the military route, which those was only finished road at the tim e, when one began with the agriculture.
Mother told us once that (Henry?) had been late. The dark night had alrea dy begun. Their mother ignited a lantern, climbed to the top of a tree ne ar the house, and hung her there inside. So the light could lead him hom e. Another time, than the winter was very severe, mother brought the on ly cow, which still gave milk into the house to guarantee that the small c hildren were supplied.
One day the news of the Indian massacre, which had occurred in New U lm in Minnesota, spread in the village. Some settlers began to hastily pa ck their carts in order to flee. Those things that could not be carried, w ere hidden. Cooler heads prevailed and made it clear to the others that N ew Ulm was far away. Thus all decided to remain.
Toward end of the civil war, while the family was working in the field, T he local sheriff road out to Henry and gave him his induction orders in to the army.
But he could not leave wife and children behind. Unfortunately he beg an to look for a substitute for his army position. This was possible in th ese times. Finally he found a loafer. After a lot of haggling they agre ed on 200 Dollar, a very considerable amount backin those days. The man joined the army, but no sooner had he put on his un iform than the war was over. Nevertheless he demanded the whole amoun t. He left Henry with a staggering high amount of debts. It took years unt il they were payed off. Money was scarce, farming was primitive and the p rices very low. The rustic family was practically only self-supplier. Mo st of what one ate came from the farm. The sheeps wool was processed a nd spinned to threads by hand, then knitted to socks, gloves, caps, wool en jackets and other things. As a boy I used to watch mother processing a nd spinning the wool, while father would finish the wooden shoes that he h ad made this day. While doing so the family gathered around a kerosine lam p.
The garden products were preserved. Cabbage was fermented to sauerkra ut in tall stone pitchers. The pigs were slaughtered during the winter. Me at was cut and all kinds of sausages prepared and hang up in the smokehou se until they were smoke-dry. They were preserved until the summer in th ey way the Indians preserved things. Mother had not received many formal s chool lessons. In the 1870ies Festina had a one-room school. If a teach er was found, he taught reading, writing and calculating and maybe some mo re with the help of few books and the ever present and much used cane.
Since mother was the only girl at home and was called upon to do much wor k, she was not able to go to school but for less then a year as she oft en told us. In spite of that she was able to learn enough high German to r ead the prayer book. Since all settlers were of German origin, with the e xception of one or two, it was German that was the language that was taug ht in school. This continued until the first World War. When I went to sch ool English was taught as a foreign language then. Church services w ere also entirely in German until 1918. This was changed because of patrio tic reasons. That's how a new generation grew up that learned no Germa n. Mother was able to "speak" with her grandchildren only using signs a nd her smile.

of smiles when life is done.

Of happy times and laughing

Of happy memories that I leave

Hey! Sunshine - see you in the funnies 
252 23316    Joyce Ann Janssen, age 85, of Kimberly, WI, passed away with her family by her side on January 22, 2017. She was born on July 22, 1931, in Kimberly, daughter of the late Frank and Ann (Hietpas) Oudenhoven.
On October 28, 1950, Joyce married the love of her life, Merlin Janssen and together they raised seven children. Merlin and Joyce had a "love story" marriage which their children witnessed daily. Merlin referred to Joyce as his "beautiful bride" every morning at the kitchen table for their entire 42 years of marriage. They set a wonderful example of what a marriage should and could be.
Joyce was a wonderful wife and mother, but she shined as a grandmother. She had the knack of making each grandchild feel special. She knew what each grandchild's hopes and dreams were and had each of them in her prayers and rosary every day.
Her family was convinced that Joyce had a direct line to heaven. It was common for all family members and those who knew her to ask Joyce to put them or their needs in her rosary and prayers.
Joyce was an amazing cook and was especially known for her cookies. You could count on leaving her home after a visit with a bag of her famous peanut butter or oatmeal cookies. She was also an avid reader and the library's best customer, finishing a minimum of five books a week. Joyce loved the Badgers and especially Badger football. We joked that a close Badger game could bring Mom's wish to be reunited with Dad sooner than we were ready to lose her. She loved a good game of sheepshead with her grandkids and never turned down an offer to play cribbage.
Joyce will be deeply missed by her children: Linda (Jerry) Vanevenhoven, Cindy (Dave) Vander Zanden, Deb (Greg) Sprangers, Jim (Sue) Janssen, Steve (Joan) Janssen, Mike (Tammy) Janssen and Anne (Randy) Reschke; her grandchildren, Adam, Alan (Bridget) and Ryan Vanevenhoven, Becky (Jason) Montour, Mike Vander Zanden and fiancé Sara Cordy, Kelly (Spenser) Rathsack, Jayda Vander Zanden, Lori (Scott) Doyle, Russell (Amber) Sprangers, Hilary Sprangers, Josh (Amber) Janssen, Nicole and Emily Janssen, Kate (Kevin) Bons, Kalin (Dale) Grosskopf, Laura and Keith Lancer, Jenna and Julia Janssen and honorary grandchild, Doug Masura; and 19 great-grandchildren with two additional due this summer. Joyce is also survived by her dear friends and sisters-in-law, Alvara Oudenhoven and Arlene Oudenhoven. She will also be missed by her "other" daughter, Laurie Wolff.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Merlin; grandchildren Nicholas Vander Zanden and Ally Reschke; brothers Joseph and Richard and infant brother Alvin, and sister Phyllis (Harold) Ott; Merlin's parents, Francis and Myrtle Janssen; in-laws Robert (Vivian) Janssen, Edgar (Darlene) Janssen and Ronald Janssen.
A celebration of Joyce's life will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, January 28, 2017, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Kimberly (600 E. Kimberly Avenue, Kimberly, WI 54136) with Father Bob Kollath officiating. Friends may call directly at the church on Saturday from 9:00 am until the time of service. Interment will be at Holy Name Catholic Church Cemetery.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Fox Valley Hospice for the loving care and assistance in helping us keep Mom home and comfortable.
I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say "She's with you every day."
"The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around,
Reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace she's finally found."
Mom, you are finally where you want to be - back in Dad's arms. We will see you when we get there.
With all our love, "Your kids"

Clarence was a master plumber starting with Elmer Coonen and retiring with August Winter & Sons. After his retirement, Clarence found ways to stay busy by helping out his two nephews Peter and Bobby Vanden Heuvel at Great Lakes Mechanical. His years of retirement brought stories of his and Urs' time at the "Holland Hilton," their trailer in Fort Myers, Florida. It's where he honed his skills on the golf course and where "teeing it up" in the fairway was not only fair play but recommended practice in many of his tales. He had an affinity for telling stories, many of them about his time served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Clarence, a member of the Jacob Coppus American Legion Post 258, was a tail gunner with the 461st Bomber Group and his time spent overseas provided a lifetime of engaging stories that held family members captive on many a night.
What really made Clarence special was the admiration that his grandchildren had for him. There wasn't a single recollection of him ever raising his voice in anger or a bad word spoken about another human being. He was truly a gentle soul and an example of how to love a woman. Though he will be deeply missed, he will live on in the stories that he told and through the euphemisms he used to tell them. On the day before he passed, he was able to have one last cocktail in bed with a smile on his face.
Clarence is survived by his wife of 63 years, Ursula; daughters: Jackie (Jim) Van Grinsven; Dori (Steve) Dercks; Ann (Scott) Vanden Heuvel, all of Little Chute; Carla (Scott) Schmalz, Menasha; grandchildren: Kurt Van Grinsven, Beth (Ryan) Driessen, Craig (Stacey) Van Grinsven; Nick, Michael (Katie), Charlie Dercks; Abby (Manny) Vasquez, Shea (fiancé Nick) Vanden Heuvel, Carly Vanden Heuvel; Sam, Lexi, Chelsea Schmalz; great grandchildren: Kayla, Jake, Lucas, Peter, Hannah, Claire, Grace, Reid, Alexis, Isaac, Anna, Dominic, Colton, Avery, Dane, Isaac, Isabel; siblings: Delores Machurick, Donna (Bob) Welsh, Ken Vanden Heuvel and Barbara (Mike) Kons; and sisters and brothers-in-law: Jane Vanden Heuvel, Noreen Vanden Heuvel, Yvonne Rusk, Laverne Vanden Heuvel, Rich (Grace) Van Handel and Lorna Van Handel. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
In addition to his parents, Clarence was preceded in death by his sons, Alan and Tommy; brothers: Lloyd, Jerome, Gene and Paul Vanden Heuvel; and brothers and sisters-in-law: Anne Vanden Heuvel, Mike Machurick, Catherine (Mike Micke, Jerome Van Lanen), Marie (Reuben Van Lanen, Butch Dobrinski), Matt (Marion, Janet) Van Handel, Agnes (Al) Smudde, Irene (George) Stoffel, Art (Bernice) Van Handel, Bill Van Handel, Audrey (Fabe) Van Camp, Erv (Bonnie, Ruth) Van Handel.

Should the question ever arise as to whether or not Clarence is happy and in heaven we can simply use the same question he used when asked if he'd like to have that last cocktail: "Is the Pope Catholic"? Love, Mum and the Girls

Funeral held for Sgt. Nickolas A. Mueller at Little Chute High School
By Maureen Wallenfang Post-Crescent staff writer

Mueller, 26, a Little Chute native and member of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan Oct. 26.
On the sunny, warm day that was more a glimmer of summer than late fall, Mueller was remembered as a funny, outgoing man who worked hard, loved being a soldier and was entirely selfless.
The percentage of the crowd who knew Mueller, his parents or extended family appeared great.
"Most of them we do know," said Mueller's mother, Sharon. "But then some come up and say, 'You don't know me, but we just have to be here.'"
"The strength you get from the people coming through is unimaginable," said Larry Mueller, Nick's father.
Women arrived with plates of homemade bar cookies, covering four large tables in the school's cafeteria. Even the high school wrestling club, one of Mueller's passions, sent a floral arrangement.
The line of those who wanted to express condolences stretched the length of the field house. In the last hour, the line doubled, extending past the doorway emblazoned with the motto "Accept your limitations, then go beyond" to the school's front doors.
It appeared the entire village of 11,000 people was in mourning. Even if they didn't know him personally, he was treated like a brother, friend or son.
"If one is lost, they're lost to everybody," said Pat Nagan, of Appleton, a member of the Patriot Guard Riders, who didn't know Nick Mueller personally. "It's a local boy done good. He was the kind of son any parent would want."
The riders group was formed by veterans to show support to families who lose loved ones. "We have lost over 100 now in Iraq and Afghanistan from Wisconsin," said senior ride captain Michael Weaver, of Kaukauna.
Mueller's father, Larry, also a Patriot Guard Rider, was grateful to see riders come out in full force and hold flags by the high school's entrance. "Whenever I did this, I knew it meant something. But being on this end of it … they'll never know what they actually mean."
Mueller praised Friends at the visitation praised Mueller's selflessness.
"He was the shirt-off-his-back kind of guy," said Michael Sherwood, of Combined Locks, remembering his friend since sixth grade. "He was there for you when you were down. Everybody should know him. He's the friend you'd want to have."
Mueller's girlfriend Heather Huckett flew in from Savannah, Ga., to meet the Mueller family for the first time this past week.
"He was probably the funniest guy I ever met," she said. "He had a really big heart. He loved with his whole heart."
They'd met in Savannah when she visited her little brother who was in the same Night Stalkers military unit as Mueller.
"The first time I met him, all he said to me was he liked my potato salad," Huckett remembered. She said she had an immediate crush on him and moved to Savannah. "I asked him out," she recalled.
Even though she knew he was doing what he wanted to do, the loss is devastating.
"We had so many plans," she said. "You don't expect this when you're young."
Governor visits
Gov. Jim Doyle came to speak privately with the Mueller family before the visitation started at 10 a.m. Saturday.
"He said how sorry he was and how close it hit," Sharon said.
After that, the steady stream of people didn't let up until the funeral started at 4 p.m. against the backdrop of a two-story American flag, bagpiper and Little Chute High School choir. It began with a silent procession of veterans, police, soldiers from the 395th and 21 members of the Little Chute Fire Department. Staff Sgt. Caleb Baugh, of Savannah, Ga., choked back tears as he gave a eulogy commemorating his friend's sense of humor and hard work.
Rev. Tim Krick, of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Combined Locks, pointed out that a Facebook page honoring Mueller had 1,500 members sign up in a matter of days.
"This tells you everything you need to know about Nick. He cared for others and others cared for him."
At the end, with the waning light of the day, Mueller was honored with military rites conducted by the Jacob Coppus American Legion Post 258 of Little Chute, which included a three-volley salute, taps and a folded flag presented to his mother.
Mueller's remains were not in Little Chute, but will be laid to rest Nov. 16 at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., according to his wishes. Online condolences may be sent through oconnellfuneralservices.com.

I asked Dick if we could include his Radio Theatre Guild Directors Notes on our site. Hope you enjoy his creative reminiscing as much as I do.

Link to---> Radio Theatre Guild Directors Notes

Latest Directors notes were added on 10/10/2008

Damn, this is tough. Just how much data do you want. I can't tell you about my years as a secret agent because all that is top-secret, classified information, of course, and I'd have to terminate you if I did tell. Following that, my brain surgeon phase was very short-lived since I developed an allergy to surgical gloves, so I changed career paths and went into quantum physics working closely with Stephen Hawking and others. This proved to be rather boring once the major problems were solved, so I took a little sabbatical in the form of a climb to the top of Mount Everest and then a fins-on study of the great white sharks.

In order to keep out of the spotlight during those years, I built up a credible front as a relatively normal family man with a wonderful wife Sylvia whom I met while on a short stay in Denver just after I got out of the Army in 1960. We were married in May of 1962, had four children (Kurt, Keith, Karen, and Kathy) and are now grandparents of five (Emma-13, Sarah-11, Joey-6, Alec-4, and Everett-1). We have lived in Rochester, MN for the past thirty years.

I taught school for a few years and then went into the professional speaking business doing training for corporations, organizations, and schools. I spent 20 years doing this, teaching mostly high-speed, efficient reading---The Intensive Reading Program---which I developed in the late '70s. I also did workshops on Self-Image and Self-Esteem and Creative Thinking and Problem Solving. I received my doctorate in 1987 and have written two books, The Rapid Reader's Survival Manual and Reading, Better, Faster.

The travel and the marketing and preparation in this business, The Professional Resource Center, took its toll on me and I jumped at the chance when offered a job as Parish Administrator for Holy Spirit Catholic Church. I have been at this job for over seven years and I love it. I can't afford to retire so I guess I'll stick with it until I buy the big one.

I have always been a very avid photographer and spent many hours on the prairies and in the woods lugging around a ton of equipment looking for great pictures (and I found a number of them). I have also been involved in theatre ever since a Thanksgiving pageant way back when I was in kindergarten. For the last 17½ years I have been actor/producer/director/chief drudge for the Rochester Radio Theatre Guild (I was one of three who began the Guild). We replicate old-time radio programs with public performances, on-air broadcasts, and many road show engagements for special events of all kinds. We have performed over 150 shows doing nearly 250 different episodes of various old-time radio programs.

My e-mail address is readingdoc@charter.net which is a good way to contact me as long as my mail box is not clogged with the plethora of detritus my too-much-time-on-his-hands cousin, Gary, sends me. 
283 24844    From Goetzman Web Site at ; http://goetzmans.com/6.htm

This is my biographical contribution to our family website - it's written with gratitude to previous contributors, and to Gordy for his hard work in starting and maintaining the site.

I view my life as three distinct phases: Rural, Military and Business. My Rural life began in 1941 when I was born in Winona, MN, to George and Gertrude (Kamrowski) Goetzman. I helped my parents work their 500 acre dairy farm, hunted game when I could and finished college. Things were relatively care-free and simple back then.

After graduating from Winona State College in 1963 with a bachlor's degree in physical science and math, I joined the U.S. Air Force and my Military life began. I attended Officer Training School at Media AFB, near San Antonio, TX, and graduated in 1964 as a shave-tail second lieutenant. After a couple training schools in electronics and crew coordination, I was assigned as an underground nuclear Mace missile crew commander at Bitburg AB, Germany. Life had become radically different from the simple, stable rural existance. Before leaving for Germany, I married my college sweetheart, Evelyn (Lolly) Haskett. Our daughter, Canda Rani, was born during our nearly four year assignment to Germany, and we still managed to tour a few other European countries while there - Belgium, France, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Luxembourg and East Germany.

After several more stateside training bases, our next permanent assignment was to Blytheville AFB, AR, where our next daughter, Nicolette Ember, was born. I now had a captain rank and was an Electronic Warfare Officer (spook) aboard the B-52 bomber. We spent about six years at BAFB - during which time I had multi-tours to S.E. Asia. I flew a couple hundred combat missions over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia - in the B-52D aircraft - out of Anderson AFB, Guam, and Utapao, AB, Thailand, and was promoted to the rank of major.

I tested and was accepted to the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, to work on a master's degree in management. After graduation we were sent to Offut AFB, near Omaha, NE. There I flew in the Strategic Air Command's Airborne command post (Looking Glass) as a Logistics Staff Officer. I attained the rank of lieutenant colonel while at OAFB and was re-assigned to Grand Forks AFB, ND, as the Wing Staff EWO Evaluator/Instructor.

We froze at GFAFB for two years before I volunteered to move to Ft. Worth's Carswell AFB, TX. I was the Wing Simulator instructor and evaluator for two more years and decided to end my military career in 1984 at 20 years. We decided we'd make our fortune in real estate in the great state of Texas. After the Medina assignment I said I'd never live in Texas, but the warmer weather was too inviting.

During this next life phase as Business entrepeneurs we started the CHA Management Company in Weatherford, TX. We intended to invest in and rehab rental property. We owned, operated and sold over 200 units in several areas - but, unfortunately, after this fast start the real estate market went bust and we spent much of our time managing property for others. We are still in our recovery mode, but hope to work a couple more apartment complexes before retiring altogether.

Our daughters both got married during this phase - Canda to Doug Vinson and Nicki to Gene Mason. We're now multi-grandparents and are really enjoying our enlarged family.

Genealogy has been my passion for over 25 years - and my family collaborated on organizing the 1995 First Götzmann Family Reunion in Winona, MN, and Onalaska, WI. Sisters Gayle, Greta and Gwen and cousin Dick were prime movers behind that event. We've also started a Götzmann DNA Surname Project with the Family Tree DNA website (http://www.familytreedna.com/). With DNA testing that we were able to discover many genetic cousins throughout the US and Europe. The Lou, Ron, Armin, Dan, and William family branches have all been found through the tests.

I've found genealogy research to be one of the most satisfying endeavors of my three phases of life.

292 25339    Reply-to: Ursula.Sundorf-Ehlert@web.de (Ursula Sundorf-Ehlert) Hello Ja y, here is the story, I promised to you.It is a story of our family in the times of second world war, my ant Th ea told me. It began 1936. The second son of family Sundorf was born. T he first son born 3.3.32 was named Josef like the grandfather (father of t he mother)The parents decided to call the second son like the second grandfather (fa ther oft his father), but his name was Adolf.The grandmother (Wilhelmine Sundorf, born Wilhelmine Schulze Brockhoff) sa id: "Don´t do it, it will cause trouble because of Adolf Hitler!" and wh at she said become right.1945 english soldiers went to the farm. At first they looked at all pape rs on the farm to find out, whether the father of the family(Albert Sundor f, born Albert Stockmann) was a Nazi, but they didn´t find anything. My gr andfather hate the Nazis. So first everything was alright and the soldie rs behave very kind to the family. Then one of the soldiers asked the litt le nine-years old boy : "Hey boy, what´s your name?" And he answered: "Ado lf". This answer caused a lot of troubles. The whole family get prison ed in a sleeping-room for a few days except from the daughter Thea. The en glish soldiers said, they would kill the father of the family. My ant The a, a girl of 14 years, had to do all working on the farm a soldier by h er side. At least the soldiers didn´t kill the father and left the farm af ter a few days.My ant Thea knows a lot of stories about the family and i think maybe s he also knows stories about the Elpers, although this happened when she wasnt born. I´ll ask her next time.My cousins (2 sons and 5 daughters of ant Thea) are very astonished that y ou are able to get so many infornations about our family. They also tri ed to get some informations, but for German people it is very difficu lt to get informations about the current generations (because of protecti on of personal dates) Are you able to get informations about the current g erman generations in public genealogy library in america? Next time mor e, many greetings to you and your family from Ursula 
293 25428    A Biography of Edward Laessig and Jeanette Baenen
By Patti Laessig anaquea@dwave.net ©May 28, 2001
Edward Laessig, Sr. the patriarch of our central Wisconsin USA Laessig clan, was born in Saxony, Germany 5 July 1835. As a young man he came to America in the year 1855 according to the 1860 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois census records. It is possible that he came with his brother, as a record of two young men has been found, "Eduard Lessig age 21" and "Robert Lessig age 24" sailed from Bremen to New York on the ship "Orpheus" arriving in the USA 1 September 1855. His naturalization papers have not been located. According to family, it was in Chicago that Ed met Jeanette Baenen, born 6 January 1836, an immigrant from s'Hertogenbosch, Holland. Her parents were Francis J.J. Baenen b. 15 Oct. 1806 - d. 14 Nov. 1887 and Clara Vande Vaart b. 28 Sept. 1803 - d. 24 Jan. 1851. Jeanette immigrated with her father, step-mother, Cornelia (Van Grunderbeek) and siblings. Jeanette remained in Chicago and married Edward circa 1856 or 57, and her family moved to the town of Scott, Brown County, Wisconsin, to a small village known as Bay Settlement, near Green Bay.

Ed and Jeanette's first child, Edward M. Laessig was born in Green Bay on 10 March 1858. Their next three children: Mary, Henry and Augusta, were born in Chicago. A family story that was handed down told how Jeanette would smuggle each baby out of the house to be baptized Catholic a few weeks after it was born, without Ed's knowledge. He was Lutheran and did not want the children baptized Catholic, however records at a little church located near their home was once a German Catholic Church, and verify the family lore. At several weeks of age, each baby was baptized.
The family lived between sets of railroad tracks, and it is believed that is why their location was sometimes overlooked for census taking. The address was 81 West Liberty Street. It is described as the `north side of West Liberty, between South Canal and South Jefferson' and 'N.B. Mitchell is the street one block south of Liberty', in a Chicago city directory of 1860-1861. That address today, and since 1909, would be 550 W. Liberty Street. The directory also stated that Edward worked at J.C.W. Bailey & Co. as a laborer 1865 - 1866 edition.
Birth records indicate that the family relocated to Green Bay, Wisconsin by the year 1867 when daughter Philomena "Minnie" was born. Cornelia, Fred, Frank and Charles were likewise born in that area. Son Louis, "Stoner", daughters Julia and Anna were later born in Marathon County, Wisconsin where the family relocated to Wausau for a number of years, then to Webertown (Weber), a small settlement on the Big Eau Pleine River, on the north side of the river. A sawmill, Catholic Church, store, post office and homes were located on the south side of the river.
Edward and Jeanette's family consisted of the following:
* Edward M. Laessig born 10 March 1858 married 6 April, 1884 to Amelia Frick born 30 Nov. 1865, daughter of Frederick Frick (mother's name unknown).
* Mary Laessig born 5 July 1859 married 27 July 1884 to Emil R. Ruder, son of George and Louisa Schmidt Ruder of the Ruder Brewery in Wausau.
* Henry F. Laessig born 3 March 1863 married 7 Jan. 1888 to Agatha "Yette" Wagner, born 7 Dec. 1863, daughter of Michael and Susanna Fischbach Wagner of Manitowoc, WI.
* Augusta "Gustie" Laessig born 23 Jan. 1865 married 29Aug 1884 to Michael B. Wagner born 11 Dec. 1860, son of Michael and Susanna Fischbach Wagner.
* Fred Laessig born 24 June 1870 married in 1894 to Olga Polege born 19 July 1875, daughter of Julius and Louise Usadel Polege.
* Charles (or Carl) Laessig born 28 April 1876 married 28 Nov. 1896 to Jeanette McDonald born 23 June 1876, daughter of Frank and Cass (Mac Donald) McDonald.
* Philomena "Minnie" Laessig born 15 May 1867 married *Henry Weber born in 1860, son of Michael and Elisabeth Kaiser Weber.
* Louis "Stoner" Laessig born 2 April 1877, remained unmarried.
* Julia Laessig born 24 March 1879 married 26 June 1900 to Daniel Vandehey born 29 Dec. 1874, son of Herman and Mary Curtain Vandehey of Hollandtown, WI.
* Anna Laessig born 16 March 1881 married 19 Sept 1905 to John D. Kissinger born 14 Feb. 1882, son of Jacob and Elizabeth Harth Kissinger of Wisconsin Rapids, Wood County, WI.
* Cornelia Huberta "Nellie" Laessig born 22 July 1869 - died 2 Nov. 1870, age 15 months.
* Francis Hubert" Frank" Laessig born 30 March 1873 married Mary K. Sawyer born 22
Oct. 1873, daughter of Joseph Sawyer. She died 13 Aug. 1907. Frank then married Mary Weber on 29 September 1909. Mary Weber was born 21 March 1887, daughter of Christian and Anna Kaiser Weber.

*Henry Weber, husband of Minnie Laessig, was the son of Michael Weber and Elizabeth Kaiser Weber. Henry's brother Christian Weber was the founder of Weber Settlement. Christian Weber and his wife Anna Kaiser, daughter of Andreas Kaiser and Magdalena Esslinger Kaiser, were the parents of Mary Weber Laessig.

On September 13, 1884, the township of Brighton in Marathon County was divided in two. The new township that was formed was Eau Pleine, named after the big Eau Pleine River that flows through the township and Weber Settlement. In the spring of 1885, Edward Laessig, Sr. was elected the first chairman of the town of Eau Pleine.
Edward was also responsible, at least in part, for the establishment and building of the first Lutheran Church, St. Paul's, just east of where he made his home. Although the church building no longer remains standing, a small cemetery, maintained by the Lutheran Church in Stratford, remains. It is located about a mile and a half north of the village of Stratford.
Edward Laessig worked as a stone mason and laborer for much of his life, and he farmed after moving to Marathon County. He remained in that location for the remainder of his life, passing on 10 April 1915. He was laid to rest in the Webertown cemetery maintained as the Eau Pleine Cemetery by St. Joseph's Catholic Church. As a final choice, Edward converted on his deathbed. Jeanette lived until 13 May 1924. She is buried beside her husband.

1. Last Sunday I was surprised to find a date of Maria Dülker; the first w oman of my grandfather. I'm not real sure and maybe you can compare it wi th the dates of the churchbooks. I found a praying book of Maria Dülker. I nside the date of her marriage is written by hand. It's the 22. Novemb er of the year 1892.
2. Yesterday my aunt told me that Maria Dülker and my grandfather had thr ee children. But they all died when they were young.In the praying book of Maria Dülker there is the birth date of her daught er Maria. It's something around the 24. August of the year 1894.(I can't read it). Is there anything in the churchbooks at that time?
3. Yesterday I also visited the family Woltkamp. I spoke with the grandfat her of the family. Woltkamp bought the farm from Wilpolt between 1895 a nd 1900. So the family Woltkamp isn't related (directly) to the family Wil polt. The Wilpolt's went to Ahaus at that time. Today I can't find any Wil polt there.The grandfather of the family Woltkamp told me that Wilpolt is relat ed to the family Enning and they would know more.....The next thing wi ll be to ask them. Have a nice day! Helmut

302 25807    John Hurley A PIONEER GONE – One of the Early Settlers, of Chilton town, Gone to His Reward
It is the duty of The Times to record in this issue the death of one of the noblest works of God – an honest man. On Sunday night last, May 21st, John Hurley, a pioneer of the town of Chilton was called from this earth to that land whence no traveler returns, at the age of 81 years, 10 months and 27 days.
The deceased person was a native of the county Tipperary, Ireland, and was born June 24th, 1817. He arrived in the United States in 1848 and landed at the port of New York. He worked on the public works in New York, Boston and other eastern cities. He met Eliza Carney at Boston, that year and they were united in marriage. The following year they came west and located at Milwaukee, where they remained until the fall of 1851 and then moved into the woods of Chilton town, onto the farm on which he resided until his spirit returned to God, who gave it.
Few more generous hearted men lived than John Hurley; and few were the pioneer settlers that were not under obligations to him for favors. He was a man of generous and unselfish impulse and would walk miles through the dense forest of early days, to assist a neighbor in the work of clearing up the land or erecting a log cabin or barn.
It has been our privilege to know Mr. Hurley well; and the sincerity and honesty with which he performed the duties of life, small and great, are seldom excelled in man. He could do nothing that he thought was wrong and allowed no inconvenience or hardship to prevent him from doing what was right. He was a devout Christian and a firm believer in the doctrine of the Catholic Church; and though dead, he will still live in the hearts of his many friends as a faithful and kind husband and father and a good neighbor and citizen.
Mr. Hurley was in good health, for one of his age, until some five months ago when he began to fail and gradually grew weaker until the end. In 1879 he was afflicted with blindness and since that time has been unable to recognize anyone except by their voice. Remarkable as it may seem, he never failed to call any acquaintance by name whose voice he could distinctly hear and the solace of his declining years was a visit now and then from friends of the past.
The deceased leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters to mourn. The funeral took place on Wednesday from St. Augustine's church and was largely attended from all sections of the county, over one hundred carriages forming in the procession which followed his remains to their last resting place in St. Augustine's cemetery.

Death ruled due to crash The death of a 22-year-old Neenah man in an early Wednesday single-car crash has been ruled a traffic fatality, Outagamie County Coroner Bernard H. Kemps said today. The death of Michael V. Huss, 1069 Holly Court, raises the county's record 1973 fatality toll to 38, compared with 20 on this date one year ago. Huss had been driving alone in his car and was heading north on U.S. 41 when he struck an abutment at the overpass with County Trunk 00 west of Appleton. The man was reported dead at the scene, and an autopsy later revealed that he died from massive internal chest bleeding.

Neenah man dies in crash A 22-year-old Neenah man was killed just after midnight today when his car slammed into an abutment on U.S. 41 at the overpass of Outagamie County Trunk OO west of Appleton. Dead is Michael V. Huss, 1069 Holly Court. According to Coroner Bernard H. Kemps, the victim died at the scene from apparent massive internal chest injuries, although an autopsy was ordered to determine the exact cause of death. Police said Huss was alone in his car and driving north on 41. A witness driving behind the auto told authorities that the Huss car swerved first to the right and then to the left before angling back off the right side of the pavement. The car struck a guard rail and the abutment, and Huss was trapped in the wreckage. • Firemen from the Town of Grand Chute were summoned to cut away the vehicle so the body could be removed. Kemps withheld a traffic fatality ruling pending further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Huss was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Huss, 806 W. Capitol Drive, Appleton. He was a graduate of Appleton High School-West and was a Vietnam war veteran, having served in the Army. He had been employed by the Badger Globe division of Kimberly Clark Corp. in Neenah since his release from the service. Funeral arrangements are pending at the Valley Funeral Home in Appleton.

312 26588    ELMER JOHN SMITH (1909-1986) & DOROTHY VAN HOOF (1912-1996)Elmer Smith was the 10th of 13 children, but the 6th child and 2nd s on of John and Anna. This birth order was significant. When Elmer's next o ldest brother, Earl, was "on his own," four sisters were next in line, lea ving Elmer to manage the farm when their father could not. This occurr ed a number of times, due to John's ill health and accidents. When Elmer w as 14, for example, Elmer did the plowing when his dad was in the hospit al at Rochester, Minn. He continued farm work at home until age 22 wh en he joined his brother Earl's bridge building company. By then Elmer's t hree younger brothers, Harold, Florian and Ruben, were old enough to do fa rm work.Later in life Elmer admitted he didn't like farm work. "I had started t oo young and was working too long. I hauled in hay day after day. I miss ed a lot of days in grade school because of work, especially in the sprin g, for seeding. I also didn't go to high school because I was needed at ho me." But he liked bridge building and often talked about it. He continu ed that work from age 22 to 28 (1931-37).Elmer Smith and Dorothy Van Hoof met at a wedding in 1929. She was 17 a nd he was 20. Their dating was interrupted when Dorothy graduated from hi gh school and attended Badger Business College in Green Bay and boarded th ere (June, 1930). Dorothy, the oldest of five daughters of Anton & Elizabe th Schmitt Van Hoof, was told by her parents "no steady boyfriend whi le in school." They reconnected after her graduation (June, 1931), but dat ing became difficult due to their jobs. Elmer was working in constructio n, sometimes in N. Michigan, and Dorothy was employed in the fund raisi ng business office for the Salvatorian priests at St. Nazianz, WI, from 19 31-34. Every other weekend Elmer drove from his construction job to St. Na zianz, picked up Dorothy and continued on to Freedom. The route was then r eversed a day or two later. This continued for three years before they mar ried on May 1, 1934, at St. Nicholas Church, Freedom. Dinner was serv ed at the Van Hoof home. Dancing followed at the Nightingale Ballroom, ne ar Kaukauna, WI.There wasn't a honeymoon. The young couple stayed at Dorothy's parent's ho me for the night and then moved to Cavour, WI (near Laona) where Earl Smit h's bridge building crew was working. In July they moved again with the cr ew to Channing, Mich. Four others lived in a trailer with the newly wed s. Dorothy cooked for a crew of seven in a kitchen with a tar paper and st eel roof attached to the trailer. Rocks from the dynamite blasts would res ound off the roof. The kitchen had neither refrigerator nor water, which s he had to get from the creek, where she also washed clothes on a wash boar d. She also kept "business books" for Earl.Learning that Dorothy was pregnant (Bob), Elmer's mother, Anna, encourag ed them to move to the Smith Home Place. They lived in the upstairs of Elm er's parent's house, which now had running water for the first time (1934 ). Bob was born there (1935) during a blizzard. "To find us, Grandpa (Smit h) had to flag down the doctor on the highway."Elmer started his own trucking business, picking up cans of milk from farm ers and hauling them to his sister and brother-in-law, Berdina & Joe Konkl e's cheese factory. Later in the day, Elmer hauled coal to homes, business es and Freedom High School. For the next three years Elmer only worked pa rt time for his brother, Earl.Elmer and Dorothy decided to buy the farm that Elmer's parents had purchas ed across the road from the Home Place even though the farm buildings h ad not been used for some time. Elmer recalled, "The place was a shamble s. The stave silo was shot. We had to pull it down. The granary floor w as shot, so the house had been used to store grain. Mold was everywhere ." In the winter of 1935-36, while pregnant with her second child (Jack ), Dorothy used stain and varnish remover on the floors of that house. " We sanded and sanded." The walls were repaired by hired help who install ed "Upson Board." Grandma Smith helped by taking care of Bob.
Jack was the last Smith to be born on the Home Place. It was June, 1936, o ne of the hottest days of this hot summer. The temperature was 102 degree s. Jack almost died from dysentery. Dorothy's doctor told her not to ha ve another child for three years and suggested she talk to her pastor abo ut birth control since she was Catholic. She did. He recommended birth con trol and recommended a book on rhythm. Dorothy bought it, but "I didn't re ad it because I was already pregnant with Ron. I used rhythm all righ t; I had one after another." The remaining five children were born at a ho spital (St. Vincent's, Green Bay): Ron, Betty, Carole, Bill and Barbara.
Elmer farmed and continued his trucking business until his father, John, d ied, Dec.26, 1942. Elmer and Dorothy were reluctant to buy the Home Pla ce as were other family members. There was too much work on the large far m, a big house to "keep up" and 30 "unproductive" acres consisting of wood s, wetlands and a creek. Florian consented to do the chores on the farm, b ut told Elmer "If you don't buy this farm, I will quit today. I won't wo rk for anyone else." So they did buy in March, 1943.
Elmer sold his milk route to his brother, Earl, and his coal route to Haro ld Vandenberg, husband of Dorothy's sister, Mae. The farm "across the roa d" went to Elmer's sister, Berdina and her husband, Joe Konkle. Bob, Ja ck and Ron were happy to have cousins their age next door - Anita and Vern on Konkle. Their older brother, Urban, occasionally played baseball with t hem, too.
Renovations were needed on the Home Place, but nothing could be done unt il after World War II due to rationing and scarcity of materials. Then t he house was renovated, a double stall garage replaced the wood shed, a n ew machine shed was built as was a new milk house. The "lean-to" additi on on the north end of the barn was removed as were the horse stalls. Stan chions for cows, a pen for calves and for a bull and an automatic barn cle aner were installed.
To help pay for these improvements, Elmer and Dorothy leased land in 19 48 for a quarry to Elmer's brother, Florian, and their nephew, Elmer Konkl e, who needed rock to crush for a highway job for which they had contracte d. The quarry's production was short lived (a few years): the rock was ve ry hard, only low levels of dynamite could be used due to the proximi ty of buildings in the village, springs required constant pumping of wat er and Florian was disabled in 1952. So the hole filled with water and bec ame an excellent swimming and fishing spot for the Smith family. Elmer sto cked it with rock bass and other fish.
Elmer Smith began to develop heart problems in the 1950s. Heart attacks st arted in 1959 at age 50 and he began to think of alternatives to farmin g. He needed to work because son, Bill, was age 9, and Barbara, 6. The old er children were not interested in farming. Bob and Ron were studyi ng to be Catholic priests, Jack was working in a printing business and h ad married by then (Ruthann Wachel), Betty was in college prepari ng to be a teacher and Carole was in high school. So the Smith Home Pla ce was sold to Bill Gonnering in 1960. (See Appendix D for pictures of far m.) Elmer and Dorothy kept a lot in front of the quarry next to Jack and R uthann and built a house for themselves. Elmer then took the maintenance j ob at St. Nicholas Church and School. This was hard work, but didn't ha ve the same pressures of farming. Nevertheless, it eventually proved too d ifficult for Elmer's health to bear and he retired after 12 years in th at labor.
Elmer Smith died of a heart attack in his home on Oct.7, 1986, after spend ing the day with Dorothy, his wife of 52 years, and his sister, Mabel a nd her husband, Herman Schwartz, as they visited Our Lady of the Sacred He art Shrine at Polonia, WI, near Stevens Point. The day before had also be en a pleasant one for him reminiscing with Donald and Melvin Brittnache r, his nephews from California.
In Ron Smith's homily for his dad, he stated, "His faith was not highly vi sible nor outwardly pious…. Underneath - his life rested on steady and fi rm principles…. Dad worked in construction, sometimes as foreman of the cr ew…. He hauled milk and coal. He was a dairy farmer…. He was custodi an of this church…. He also served the parish as trustee under 4 or 5 past ors… and served as an usher and Communion distributor. In the civic commun ity, he served 17 years on the Freedom School Board."
Dorothy continued to live in their home until her death on Sept. 13, 199 6. This property then stayed in the family when Elmer Smith's nephew's (El mer Konkle) son, Steve Konkle and is wife Pat (Van Schindel) bought it. Ot her members of the Konkle clan had purchased land on the Smith Farm earlie r. They are descendants of Joseph and Berdina Smith Konkle. This is fitti ng since Berdina is the namesake and granddaughter of Albertina "Berdin a" and Anton Smits. Joe and Berdina's son, Elmer Konkle and his wife, Beve rly Riggles, had purchased land from Elmer & Dorothy Smith. Beverly, n ow a widow, remains on the property, and three of her sons, Steve, Ja ck & Russell and their families live in homes next to hers.

323 27420    John Verkuilen of Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), died at the Chippewa Falls Hospital last Friday of heart trouble and other complications. He had been confined to his home for the past six weeks, suffering from a foot infection. He was at the hospital only a day.
Mr. Verkuilen was a widely known and prominent citizen of the county. He was vice chairman of the Clark County Board of Supervisors and was a member of the Thorp School Board at the time of his death.
Born at Pensaukee, Oconto Co., Wis., Sept. 3, 1867, he began work in the shipyards at Sheboygan after he had completed his schooling. On June 12, 1893, he was married to Hattie Driessen, and in 1894, with his wife and their first child, he came to Clark County with a horse and wagon as farm equipment.
The family settled on a tract of land in the town of Worden, west of Thorp, moving to another farm in 1901. In 1896 Mr. Verkuilen became a member of the Worden town board, serving three years in that capacity. He was later elected assessor, holding that office for six years, and in 1909 was elected as town chairman, becoming chairman of the County Board of Supervisors two years later and holding that office for many years. He also acted as clerk and as treasurer of his school district in the town of Worden.
Funeral services were held at St. Bernard's Catholic Church at Thorp Tuesday, which was largely attended by citizens from all parts of the county. He is survived by his wife and seven children.

Verkuilen, John #2 (3 SEP 1867 - 24 JAN 1936)
A well known and respected resident of Thorp and Clark County, Wis., closed his history making career of family and social service as death called him to his reward on Friday, Jan. 24, 1936, soon after his re-entrance to St. Joseph's Hospital, Chippewa Falls, and the reception of the last sacraments of the church. For a few weeks before his death he had suffered with a foot infection and a weak heart but his jovial spirit made him appear quite well.
John Verkuilen was born at Pensaukee, Oconto Co., Wis., Sept. 3, 1867, the son of John and Mary (Van Lanen) Verkuilen, and being called to his reward at the age of 68 years, 4 months and 21 days.
After a brief formal education he began work in the shipyards of Sheboygan.
He was married to Hattie Driesen of Hollandtown on June 12, 1893, and with her and their daughter Mayme, came to the town of Worden, Clark Co., in 1894 to engage in agriculture. They lived in a logging camp near Stanley until Mr. Verkuilen and Fred Driesen, who came here each with one horse, could clear a plot of ground for buildings on their then unimproved farms. One of the items of present day interest in their progressive, yet tractorless farming, was the use of oxen. With much labor, fortitude, prudence and economy, fine farms were developed but Mr. Verkuilen sold in 1901 in order to purchase the SE ¼ - SE ¼ of Section 2, near Thorp, from C. Banderob. With Mrs. Verkuilen and four children they moved into the log house which was later replaced by a modern structure necessitate by convenience and a family of nine. All other farm improvements and conveniences were added during the 25 years that John and Hattie Verkuilen, with their family, lived there. Upon their retirement in 1927, they built a home in Thorp and the farm home has since been that of their son, Walter and family.
Prominent as Mr. Verkuilen was in civic affairs his positions of responsibility and trust can scarcely be enumerated. Any eulogy to him would conclude with "having always served well" and often without remuneration. His pride and pleasure was in having served without bond. He was a member of the town of Worden board in 1896, also elected as assessor and Pioneer school board member. He succeeded Geo. A. Ure as chairman of the Clark County board in 1911, and was re-elected for several terms. While serving as Member of assembly from Clark County he acted on the Wis. Dells Park Committee. Again in later years and until his death he represented the village of Thorp on the county board where he had for years by independent thought, good humor and sense, made very close friends.
When Mr. Verkuilen and family moved near Thorp they transferred their church membership tot hat of St. Bernard's Parish. Here he acted as treasurer during the construction period, about 1914, of the present beautiful edifice. He also transferred his Catholic Order of Foresters membership from Stanley to become a charter member of the local St. Vincent Court No. 1339. He was an active and enthusiastic member until his death and on several occasions was privileged to represent them at state and national conventions.
Mr. Verkuilen was a director of the Farmers Exchange Bank from the date of organization in 1913 and later became president, guiding it successfully until the merger of the two Thorp banks.
The last few years he has spent his time acting as director of the Lyn Mutual Insurance Companies, a position he has long held, and as president of the Thorp Finance Corporation.
Mr. Verkuilen's honesty and judgment were unquestioned and his standing in this community unparalleled. He was a man of generous impulses and never forgot the social, religious or hospitable ways of a pioneer. He accepted adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He had filled the various relations of life as son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, friend, and filled them well. Who can do more?
Left to mourn his death are his wife, Hattie Verkuilen, five daughters, Susan (Mrs. Henry Hermsen), Little Chute, Wis., Florence (Mrs. John Cesnik), Hillsboro, Wis., Josephine (Mrs. Jack Vandeyacht), Little Chute, Wis., Elsie, Milwaukee, and Leona, at home; two sons, Michael of Gary, Ind., and Walter of the town of Worden. Two children, Mayme and John Jr., preceded him in death. He is also survived by five sisters and one brother.
The body of John Verkuilen lay instate at the new Bogumill Funeral Home surrounded by flowers and friends until Tuesday morning when the procession, led by Foresters under traffic control, proceeded to the crowded St. Bernard's Church for the Solemn High Mass of Requiem which was said by Rev. C. Dionne with Rev. F.A. Kulig as deacon and Rev. A.M. Muckerheide as sub-deacon, the latter officiating at the last rites and burial in St. Bernard's Catholic Cemetery.
The active pallbearers who are Foresters, were: Francis Conway, R. J. Brunner, George Haas, Anton Baldeschwiler, John Bauernfeind an Dr. A.H. Kulig.
Those who acted as honorary pallbearers were: A.M. Steinwand of Colby; Frank Kraut of Curtiss; W.B. Tufts of Neillsville; Ed Verritt, Anton Micke and R.G. Lawrence of Thorp.

334 27710    Dorothy M. (Welsing) Bries, 87, passed away peacefully Wednesday, January 7, 2015, surrounded by her family. She was born on November 20, 1927 to the late Arnold and Ethel (Jobelius) Welsing. Dorothy graduated from Luxemburg High School and also attended Denmark High. She married Donald Bries at St. Willebrord Catholic Church, April 27, 1946, after he returned from the war. Together they raised six children.
Dorothy will forever be remembered as loving, generous, happy, sharp as a tack, and a fan of music (the old time polka and waltz genre, but she also had an ear for good rock and roll). A hip mom who always stayed attuned to her children's interests. She reveled in spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchild.
A homemaker in the 40's and 50's she then partnered with her husband to launch a successful dairy farming operation in the late 1950's and 60's….a daunting task for a young couple starting with nothing. She enjoyed her time at the cottage in Northern Wisconsin and loved to travel the US and Mexico, later wintering in Florida, Arkansas and Padre Island.
She moved from the family farm to Bellevue Retirement Apartments in 2007. Dorothy kept busy with card club, outings with new and longtime friends, and savored her weekly telephone marathons with friends.
Dorothy was a dedicated volunteer for the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the Brown County Mental Health Center. She taught CCD for a number of years at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Pine Grove. She was also known as a "Good Will Ambassador" at Bellevue Retirement Community where she welcomed new residents and showed them the ropes.
Dorothy is survived by her daughter Mary Jaekels, and four sons: Lorne (Kori); Glen (Michele); Paul; Eric (Grace); seven grandchildren; one great grandchild; three brothers: Roger (Cookie); Bob (Lynn); and Kurt (Helen).
Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Donald; son Mark; son-in-law Jim Jaekels; her parents; and sisters Grace Geyer and Yvonne Bauer.

For a several years, he hit the circuit of snowmobile drag racing.

For 17 years, they enjoyed being snowbirds in Florida along with several of their closest friends. His airplanes were the first things to be packed in the van. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family, and grandkids.

347 29271    Sgt. Carl De Bruin was in one of the outfits to last quit fighting in Germany. "The only way to be a mountaineer fighter" Sgt Carl J. DeBruin said, "is to have one leg shorter than the other." Probably no one will ever figure out who fired the last shot along the 44th Division front - but a squad from "B" Company 324th Infantry was in there pitching right to the last and as fate would have it, the last job was climbing an Australian mountain after some Germans who still had to be convinced that everything was kaput. We climbed about 1500 feet that afternoon struggling along at about a 45° angle, dropping to fire now and then, caring the wounded down the long treacherous slope. By evening the company had cleared the last Jerries from the mountain slope and a few minutes later the "cease-fire" order came in.

When quite young he learned the wagon maker's trade, and followed it un til the age of twenty-one, when he was drafted into the army. He served ne arly three years when the German-Franco war broke out, and like a true pat riot, continued in the service of his country. He was placed in the Pione er Department of Engineers, and was before Paris for seven long months, h is engineer corps rendering valuable service in that memorable struggl e. He was a common soldier, but five and one half months, when he was prom oted to the position of corporal, which rank he maintained until the clo se of the war. Mr. Leppla's first engineer work was at Weissenberg, near t he northern boundary of Alsace, in Bavaria; the next was before Paris, whe re more earnest work awaited them. He now has a French officer's revolv er in his possession, which he exhibits as a trophy of that terrible confl ict.On his return from the army, Mr. Leppla was only twenty-five years old des pite his several years experience in the army, embarked for America accomp anied by his fiancée, Miss Julia Shoemaker, then twenty-three years of ag e. On their arrival they went at once to the home of Mr. Leppla's brothe r, John Leppla, who had secured a farm in Dale, Outagamie county, Wi s. at which place they were married October 10, 1871; it being the birthd ay anniversary of both brothers.

Duri ng this period his opinion had undergone a change, and he finally bought o ut his brother's interest, now possessing one of the finest farms in the c ounty, consisting of 190 acres of land and substantial building s. He is a very enterprising farmer, and insists upon having all the mode rn improvements in machinery, which will make his work lighter and his ho me comfortable.Politically, Mr. Leppla's a Republican. He is upright, conscientious and u nobtrusive, with a generous stock of good common sense, a commodity whi ch often proves of more value than the most finished education. He is an h onored member of the German Reformed Church and contributes generously tow ards its support. He is the father of five children; three of whom are liv ing, viz; Daniel and Johnny H., and Wallie Oscar; two are deceased; John ny and Amanda, both having died of diphtheria.

366 31139    From family papers: He was born in New York in 1858 and moved with his parents to Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1863. He married Mary Sharding in 1886. They had two children, Rose and William. After Mary died, he married Elizabeth Berendson in 1893.

They had four children: Martha, Leo, Eunice, and Benny. George operated the old railroad station, across from the old YMCA on 2nd St. (in Manitowoc?) where his first wife lived. He then operated a barber shop, then a restaurant, then a grocery store, and worked for the railroad shop as a car repair man for 20 years. He died in 1947.

From handwritten account by Rosemary (Gillen) Dawson, 2/94: My grandfather died in 1947 when I was 24 years old, but I did not know him very well. His second wife [Elizabeth (Berendson) Gillen] did not like my father (her stepson) [William P. Gillen] nor my mother [Mary (Schimberg) Gillen]. Her wedding gift to them was a package of wooden clothespins (10¢).
My grandfather would come to see us on the sly. He had been a barber at some time and he would cut my dad's & brothers' hair in our basement. He was funny too. He called aristocrats, "those damned asstocrats." By aristocrats he meant the government and people like Rockefeller. At one time we had a lock of Buffalo bill's hair which he cut when the Wild West Show was in town. He also had an ice cream store for a while. I remember going to his home when I was in high school and college to visit him. His wife didn't keep me out, but she wasn't cordial. His first wife, Mary Sharding, died when my dad was born. She had another child, my Aunt Rose, who was about 2 then.

386 33181    Nick Carter played for over ten years, and gave radio detectives fans another deductive hero to tail. The half-hour unfolds as a straight, dramatic narrative, with clues littering the scenes, so that a plausible solution was possible for the alert listener. Nick came on at the end of the show to add it all up correctly.
Lon Clark was Nick throughout the run, and did him as a pretty serious straight-ahead guy, like a hound on the trail. After all, he had his master's status to uphold. Helen Choate played Nick's assistant, Patsy Bowen until '46, then Charlotte Manson. Patsy was Nick's smart, witty sidekick who took no guff from Sgt. Masterson, played by Ed Latimer. Sgt. Masterson was the typical workman-like homicide cop (the type goes right back to Lestrade of Sherlock Holmes) who looked to Nick to shed a little light. The detective team had a "legman" in Scubby Wilson, a reporter who tailed Nick and Patsy on the cases. John Kane did Scubby as the brash, ready-and-willing young man who was out to get the story, and knew Nick Carter would deliver the goods which he could then scoop.
That Nick was a Master Detective came from the fact that as a character he first appeared in the pulps, where the billing made a little more sense. On the old time radio show, fine organ work pumps ups the action, though the sound effects are minimal.

415 34244    researcher on Herres lineage;
From: herresfamily@earthlink.net To:
Jay, I believe the church in Mertesdorf is St. Martins.I have an ancestor from Mertesdorf, her name is Anna and she married my gr eat (x7) grandfather, his name was Bartholoma HERRES and he was from the n earby village of Kasel. They were married 05-02-1692, I found the da te of this event in the Kasel-Waldrack church books a few years ago wh en I was in the Trier Archives. I have no other information from those ch urch books other than her name was Anna. The family name of my grandfathe rs appears variously as HERRES, HERS, HöRRES in the course of time throu gh the church books. If you run across this event in your browsing through books and can deter mine the family name for Anna (from Mertesdorf) and her birth or death inf ormation or any information about her parents I would be most appreciative .
Thanks, Jerry Herres, Kennewick, Washington

Jay, Thanks a lot for looking in your books.I will paste and print below the information about my family that I dug o ut of the Kasel/Waldrack church book at the Archives in Trier. Most of th is earlier information came from these church books, the information aft er about 1815 was found by me at the civil records in a couple of locatio ns (my Great grandfather was born in Longuich and his son, my grandfath er that emigrated at age 5 in 1882 was born in Merzig - a little furth er south).

RECAP OF THE HERRES FAMILY INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
ARCHIVES IN TRIER BEGINNING WITH THE OLDEST ANCESTOR
As I progressed I have capitalized the first name of
our direct ancestors for easier following along....
note all dates are day-month-year as written....
also, * is birth + is death, most spellings are "as is"...

First below is the oldest recorded event that I found:(HERRES) Bathôlomä Herres married 05-02-1692 in Kasel/Ruwer, Germany his wife's name was: Anna, she was from Mertesdorf
his mothers name was also: Anna (no other info)
his father: Paul Hers# (alias: Cantes)
# "Hers" is how I found his name spelled in the
church records of Kasel/Waldrach 1681 to 1899
This man Paul Hers, would be the oldest known
direct relative, he would have been born about 1638, married about 1662, and his son, Bathôlomä would have been born about 1667 (on the average).

436 34886    From Find a grave
Andreas Nikasch was born 1/18/1838 at 32 Oloví Hory, Olovi in the area of Karlovarsky Kraj, Bohemia. He was the son of Ignatz (Ignatius) Nikasch [6/2/1810 77 Studenec (Prunles), Olovi, Bohemia - April 14, 1866 32 Horn, Olovi (Bleistadt), Cz (German Bohemia] and Rosalin (Rosalia) Blier [c 2/1806-1/5/1879]. Ignatz's father was Karl Nikasch born about 1776. Karl's father may have been Johann or Anton Nikasch born c 1746 who lived in this same area.

The family lived in NE Bohemia (Czech Republic) in an area that was known as German Bohemia. There were many Germans that came to this area and, for the most part, German was the language that was spoken.

Andreas Nikasch married Margaret Kraus on June 18, 1861 in Pichelberg, Falkenau, Boehmen Koenigreich, Austria Bohemia.

They had at least three sons. The lost one son, Vincenz Nikasch at one month old in 1866. Their other two sons were Anton 1862-1949 and Joseph 1870-1950.

While all 4 people from this family came to America, it appears as though Anton was the first to immigrate to America. Anton arrived in NY from Bremen Germany on May 7, 1880. Anton was only 17 years old when he left Bohemia (Czech Republic) He settled in Appleton, WI.

Anton's brother, Joseph 1870-1950, left Bremen Germany and arrived in Baltimore, MD on Oct 7, 1884 at the age of 14. This information comes from his petition for Naturalization. It says that the name of the ship was the America. It is not clear if he arrived with his parents at this time. In any case, all 4 of them lived in Appleton, WI and seem to have changed the spelling of the last name to "Nickasch". Andrew Nickasch died in 1880 in Appleton, WI. His widow, Margaret, lived at 1118 8th Street, Appleton, WI between 1889-1909.

439 34913    Note is Osburg Family Book Sohn Johann fiel im Kreig bei villers an Erable s
Johann must have been part of the German forces that attacked "Viller en E rables" in March 1918. The following text is abit about that skirmish, tra nslated from a French website mairie.wanadoo.fr/mairie.villers-aux-erables

The war 1914-1918 was going all to upset. If the battle of the Sum of Ju ly 1916 touched only little Villers with Maples, it was not the same terri ble combat of March and August 1918.The German attack of March 21, 1918 on the Holy face Quentin - Fère had su cceeded in creating a pocket of 80 kms of depth in the Anglo-French fac e. This one was completely broken between the rivers Avre and Luce. Mar ch 27, 1918, the Foch General, ordering as a head of the allied troops, co nscious of the danger, sent reinforcements and charged the 1st French Ar my of the Debeney General extending his face and with maintaining at all c osts the connection with the English army of the Gough General who moved b ack towards Villers Bretonneux and Amiens.The order was thus given to French to resist until death on the plate of S anterre.Villers with Maples in spite of that was conquered by the Germans on Mar ch 29 1918 around 18 hours. The 321ème Régiment of Infantry in charge of t he defense of the commune lost 19 officers and 750 men, is the near tot al of the manpower engaged in these very hard combat.The German attack took again on March 30 in the morning and Moreuil was lo st by the French around 10 hours, the crossed Avre river, then Morisel a nd Mailly-Raineval fell at the beginning of the afternoon. Anxious of t he German advance, Canadian General SEELY, former Canadian minister for t he war which, its headquarters in Berteaucourt Thennes (5 kms in the weste rn north of Moreuil) had the load of the connection with the French Arm y, gave the order to a Canadian regiment of cavalry to cross the wood of M oreuil and to attack side the German troops to delay, if to make could b e, their advance.It is the squadron C of the "LORD STRATHCONA' S HORSES" (Royal Canadian s, regiment currently stationed in CALGARY Alberta Canada), ordered by lie utenant G. Mr. FLOWERDEW which was in charge of this desperate attack.
It was in fact a death sentence...What could make the cavalry counters the hundreds of machine-guns light (m aximas, reduced and improved) used by the German shock troops which attack ed in this sector?With an extraordinary bravery lieutenant FLOWERDEW launched out with his m en, with the lance, against the German battalions. He was very seriously w ounded and died the following day March 31 at the English hospital of Nam ps to the Valley where he could have been transported. Its squadron was de stroyed, and there was not, alas! that some survivors.But it seems that this extraordinary exploit of an incredible courage h ad significant repercussions. The German, perplexed staff on the arriv al of Canadian on the side of divisions of attack, feared a counter-atta ck on his backs, slowed down his commandos of head directed towards Caste l, Sénécat Wood and Rouvrel only located at 3 kms with flight of bird of t he railway Paris Amiens, artery vital for the English army and whose cat ch or prohibition could have made rock the war in favour of German.The German attack towards the village of Rouvrel took again on Mar ch 31 in the morning, but, in the night from the 30 to March 31 of new Fre nch troops had arrived on the spot and after having conquered Sénécat Wo od then the village of Rouvrel, the German troops were pushed back in Séné cat Wood in particular by the 12th Regiment of Cuirassiers arrived in t he night. The railway Paris Amiens was saved and the fate of war 14-18 h ad perhaps rocked in our favour.After baited combat, a last German attack was destroyed on April 4, 1918 a nd after this date the allied troops attempted to reconquer left bank of A vre, which was made in July 1918.August 8 1918 it was the beginning of the great allied offensive of the Fo ch Marshal who brought thereafter the victory of November 11, 1918. The re lease of Villers to Maples was the 1st objective of this attack, conduct ed in this sector by the 31ème army corps.

442 35086    Jane Mary Hammen, Kaukauna, formerly of Little Chute, age 84, passed away quietly Wednesday, May 4th, with her loving family by her side. Born in Little Chute July 30, 1931 to the late John J. and Cora Hammen, Jane, and her twin brother Gene, were the youngest of nine children.
Due to the death of her parents at an early age, Jane went to live with her oldest sister, Barbara (Orville) Bongers and their family - her home for the next 45 years. Jane was a life-long member of St. John Parish in Little Chute and attended St. John Grade School. She worked at the Sheltered Activity Workshop and Valley Packaging where she gained a taste of independence and a sense of pride for the work she was able to do.
Over the years, Jane was watched over by all of her sisters and brothers, each one taking an active role in her care. Most recently, Jane lived at the St. Paul Home in Kaukauna, and early on, sang in the Villa Voices Choir there. She thrived in that environment and loved every day she spent there. The residents and staff were most kind to her, and she always responded with a smile, a friendly word, or a hug.
In her early years, doctors were to call Jane "special", but they had no idea just how special a person she was to become. Jane was truly one of God's angels, and she walked this earth with a never-ending smile on her face and kindness in her heart for everyone she met. To her nieces, nephews, family and friends, Jane was a teacher, for it was through her that we all learned the meaning of patience, kindness, love and compassion. If this was the Lord's plan for Jane on this earth, then we are sure He is pleased with a job well done. He could not have asked for a better messenger of His word.
A few of Jane's favorite things included band music, Bingo, chocolate, kittens, babies, anything red, Johnny Cash, Elvis…and a party.
Jane is survived by her two sisters, Grace Hoffman, Kaukauna, and Marian Vanden Heuvel, Germantown; her brother, Gordon (Margy) Hammen, Little Chute; her sisters-in-law, Betty Hammen and Josephine Hammen, both of Little Chute and her many loving nieces and nephews. Jane is further survived by the friends and neighbors she has known in her 84 years, most recently the ones she has met in her time at the St. Paul Home.
She is preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Barbara (Orville) Bongers and Elizabeth (Joseph) VanThiel; her brothers, Roger Hammen, Eugene Hammen and Carl Hammen; and her brothers-in-law, Dr. Elmer Hoffman and Harold Vanden Heuvel.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy.

449 35606    Calixta Vosters, Kaukauna, was surrounded by the love of her family as she made her final journey to heaven on Saturday, December 3, 2011. Her children were at her side in her final moments on Earth until the angels guided her to her new home where she was greeted by her husband Andrew, grandson Steve, her parents, brothers and sisters and many relatives. Calixta was born Feb. 13, 1919 in Freedom, Wisconsin the daughter of the late Peter and Anna (Schmitt) Schuh. On November 13, 1947, Calixta married Andrew Vosters with whom she spent the next 58 years of her life. Together they raised a family of five on their farm in the town of Grand Chute. They spent 30 happy years on the farm, where Calixta always had home cooked meals, bread or cookies in the oven and a stocked candy box. Her love of cooking and sharing a meal is a tradition that lives on in all three of her daughters. You could never leave her house without having something to eat. Every meal ended with "Here, have more, or finish it". You always left feeling like you ate too much. She always had beautiful flower gardens and a large vegetable garden while living on the farm. In 1991 Calixta and Andrew sold the farm and built a new home where they shared many wonderful years of retirement, visiting relatives and friends and playing cards until Andrew's passing in 2006.
Calixta's life revolved around her family, and for her, anything was a reason for a gathering. Celebrating Christmas, the many birthdays and summer baseball parties were just some of the reasons to get together. Calixta and Andrew's love grew from five children to 22 grandchildren to 28 great-grandchildren and counting. Calixta loved holding all those newborn babies. Everyone always enjoyed the molasses cookies at Mom or Grandma's house. Calixta loved playing cards, watching the birds, talking on the phone, and visiting with family and friends. Even as Calixta's health failed her, she played a mean game of 500 Rummy.
Calixta's faith was always at the center of her life. Mom and Dad would lead a daily rosary with their children as they were growing up. They always celebrated their anniversary with Mass followed with dinner. She was a member of St John Catholic Church in Little Chute, a past member of the St. Elizabeth Society, a lifetime member of Father Solanus Guild, the Scapular Militia and the Sacred Heart League. She had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother and her rosary was always at her side.
She is survived by: Daughter Anna (Pat) Schadrie and their children & grandchildren: Brian (Candace) Schadrie -- Jared, Jordan & Gracie Schadrie; Jodie (Mike) Madison -- Caleb, Brady, & Cecelia Madison; Stacey (Jason) Rottier -- Jaden, Jackson, & Alex Rottier; Eric (Lacey) Schadrie -- Trista, Taren, Talia, & Treya Schadrie; and Julie (Chester) Janke -- Chet, and twins Addy & Ella Janke. Daughter Marlene (Carl) Boucher and their children and grandchildren: Amy (Mike) Mc Gowan -- Gavin, Sophia & Evelyn McGowan; Andy (Jolene) Boucher -- Carson, and twins Avarie & Griffin Boucher; Angela Boucher; and Alissa (Dan) Miller.

Mass of Christian Burial for Calixta will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, December 9, 2011 at ST. JOHN NEPOMUCENE CATHOLIC CHURCH, 323 Pine St., Little Chute with Msgr. James Vanden Hogen celebrating.

Friends may call again on Friday directly at church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Burial will take place in the parish cemetery. A memorial fund in Calixta's name is being established.
Calixta was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who was dearly loved and greatly admired by her family. She loved to be feisty and make people laugh, even in her final days. Our memories of the many special times she shared with us will remain forever in our hearts. She lived for her family, and now her spirit lives on in them. Thanks Mom for the special life you've given each and everyone of us!
The family would like to express a special thank you to the neighbors for always being there for her, the caretakers for the love and compassion Mom received at home and at Brewster Village. We would also like to thank all those who visited with Mom, it made her days pass more quickly.
And when evening creeps upon me,
I'll never fear to be alone.
Once again, O Blessed Mother,
Take my hand and lead me home.

An Angel's HandThe gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, and yet within our reac h, is joy. There is radiance and glory in darkness could we but see; a nd to see we have only to look. Life is so generous a giver, but we, judgi ng its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy, or har d. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor wov en of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch t he angel's hand that brings it to you.Everything that we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty- believe me, that ang el's hand is there. - Ernest Temple Hargrove

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would goOur lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

He was so small when born that he could fit into a cig ar box. Bill’s parents Henry and Sylvia struggled for years helping him le arn to walk, so that in life ahead, he could make it like you and I. In h is years in high school he would use a grocery cart to put his books in, a nd use it for getting from class to class. Bill was bound and determin ed to make it, though his legs were crippled, his head was strong. Bill d id income tax work and various bookkeeping jobs throughout his entire lif e. Bill was left with a fair share of money from his parents wills, so th at when his legs couldn’t do what he wanted them to do he could at least h ave a life ahead of him. Bill was scammed out of his money by people w ho he thought were his friends, but were nothing more than scum of the ear th. This is why Bill decided that life had to be better. May the justice s ystem prevail in this matter and may all the prayers from his family and h is good friends let him rest in peace with God in Heaven. We will never fo rget you Bill and will always love you.

501 38525    Rosemary "Bud" Meulemans (nee Dorsey) went to be united with her husband, Don on Friday April 28, 2017. She was born on August 4, 1930, in Morrison, WI, to the late Lester and Genevieve (Nies) Dorsey.
Bud graduated from East De Pere High School in 1947 and married Don on June 27, 1953, at St. John's Catholic Church in Morrison.
For many years she was employed at Metal Service Company in Green Bay and later worked at the American Legion. She was a past president and did volunteer service there. She cooked for the Friday night fish fries for many years and was always a smiling face in the kitchen. She was also a bookkeeper at Meulemans Electric. She worked at Subway after Don's passing.
Bud enjoyed gardening, cooking, and canning. The aroma of fresh baked bread often greeted a visitor to her home. Between her own children and their Brittnacher cousins, there were plenty of hands for snipping beans and pitting cherries. In later years, she always had a fresh supply of home-baked cookies for the grandchildren.
Bud indulged her husband's love of travel and they made many trips together internationally, visiting Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and many other countries. While her children were growing up, there were many camping trips as a family (including the dog) throughout the United States and Canada. After Don retired, there were road trips around the US with memorable stays at B&Bs and winters in Florida with their daughter. But Bud always enjoyed coming back home because she missed her grandchildren. There was always a good cribbage game to be had with grandma.

551 41883    Cornelius (Casey) Herman Lamers, Kimberly, after a lifetime well lived, the kind and gentle soul known as Casey Lamers had his prayers answered by passing away on Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at Appleton Medical Center. Casey was born on March 1, 1922 in Schaijk, Holland, the son of Arnold and Petronella (Nellie) Lamers. He immigrated to the U.S. with his family in November of 1923 at the tender age of 20 months. Through the years, challenges awaited him along with his four sisters and five brothers growing up in the midst of the great depression. He did his patriotic duty enlisting in the Army during World War II spending the first portion of his tour as a driver for generals here and abroad with the latter portion jumping out of airplanes as a paratrooper in the Pacific. On June 17, 1947 he married Dorothy Van Lankvelt and raised their children Dan, Bob and Mary Jane along with many foster children. Casey loved fishing and playing sheepshead. His passion was fishing, learned at an early age with his Dad at the Lake Poygan family cottage. Years later, he carried on the tradition purchasing a cottage of his own on Lake Poygan. Casey made good use of his spare time to create things - he was always working with wood to create tables, picture frames, decorative cut-outs etc. Many of these things are still around in his children and grandchildren's homes. For several years he enjoyed being a Jack-of-All-Trades with Bobby Van Elzen at Van Elzen's Apple Orchard in Kimberly. Casey was a lifelong Catholic. He is currently a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Kimberly of which Fr. Dave Beaudry is the pastor. He was a member of the American Legion, volunteered at St. Joseph's Pantry, delivered Meals on Wheels, was a Eucharistic Minister, worked at Holy Name Rummage Sale to list just a few of his community service endeavors. He just loved people.
Casey is survived by Dorothy, his wife of 65 years; son/ Dan (grandchildren Avery and Eli); son/ Bob and Mary Lamers (grandsons Jeffrey (Laura) and Joseph, daughter/ Mary Jane and Bruce Cummings (granddaughters Elizabeth (fiancé Rob Mossop) and Anne (Greg Brahe) along with his beloved namesake - great-grandchild Casey Brahe. He is survived by his sister Nellie Ver Voort and sisters-in-laws Theresa, Pat & Ellen Lamers along with Vern Van Lankvelt, Fran Van Nuland, Mugs Depies, Leo Campbell, Janet Van Lankvelt and Shirley Van Lankvelt. He is also survived by his godchildren who have brought many a smile to him throughout the years; Nancy Schoepel, Mike Pynenberg, Robin Piette, Julie DeBois, Jane Lewis, Denis Lamers and Carl Van Lankvelt.
Preceding him in death were his parents Arnold and Nellie (Schoppema) Lamers; his siblings and their spouses; Harry, John (Julie), Ann (Rich Pynenberg), Marie (Tony Greco), Harriet (Bernie Zack), Arnold (Theresa), Frank, Herman and Joe Ver Voort. This includes his in-laws; Hank Van Lankvelt, Pete Van Lankvelt, Pete Van Nuland, Rainer Depies, Ang Campbell, Bernie Van Lankvelt and Phil Van Lankvelt.
Casey had the gift of gab. He could talk to anyone about anything. Neighbors, relatives, friends could be assured of a great conversation spiced with his wonderful sense of humor and the twinkle in his baby blue eyes. We were lucky to have him for 90 blessed years. His loss leaves a gaping hole in the lives of many that knew him. He was a very special man.
Mass of Christian Burial for Casey will be at 12:00 Noon on Monday, December 10, 2012 at HOLY SPIRIT PARISH at HOLY NAME of JESUS CHURCH, 602 E. Kimberly Ave., Kimberly with Fr. Dave Beaudry officiating. Friends and relatives will be received directly at church from 10 a.m. until the time of service. Interment will be at Holy Name Cemetery in Kimberly.

581 43322    Dear Jay, I got new information about the Ruppert family. Are you still interested to open a new chapter on our common ancestor. I suppose you have never heard about the brother of my grand father, (Mathias RUPPERT) born in Oberdonven 20th March 1867. He emigrated to France in 1889 married in 1892 a french demoiselle, Adeline CHEVALIER. Both had 10 children. The eldest of these 10 children was Corneille, Cyprien RUPPERT who married in 1892 Louise Hélène CROIX. They reared 7 children, 6 girls and 1 son. 3 girls emigrated to USA. Before leaving Europe definitely they married US citizens. Officers of the USAF and physicians. In 2008 and 2017, 2 of them died in Florida. They have numerous descendants in USA. I know the names. I visited the tombs of the RUPPERT in Deuil-la-Barre and Enghien-les-Bains (département du Val d'Oise n° 95), this year in May 2017 and had the opportunity to meet for the first time a cousin of mine Liliane CLOAREC-RUPPERT in Taverny, Val d'Oise. She is 84 still alert but suffering from invalidating rhumathism since 3 months and quite desperate. Her father was Albert RUPPERT son of Mathias RUPPERT.
Furthermore a son of Mathias RUPPERT, Alexis, Paul, Augustin RUPPERT born in 1896 became a hero of the french army during the 1st WW. He got the highest french decorations for his "bravoure au combat". These are la "Croix de Guerre" and the "Médaille militaire". He was a 1st class soldier of the 163rd french Infantry Division. This division was honored by a special monument in Vignes-sur-Meuse département de la Meuse N° 55) and battled up to the last minute in the 1st WW. He married after the 1st WW a demoiselle whose name is Henriette Jeannette EHRE probably with Luxembourg roots. Unfortunately Alexis died in 1937 a an early age.
In a week-time I am going to visit Verdun and the "Route Sacrée" once again. Centennial commemoration. Best greetings.

From Helen Forbeck Files; Herman Finkenflugel along with his six (really f ive - one died earlier -hff) children -- Henry, Barney, Gertrude, John, J ohanna, and Mary, emigrated to East Boston, Mass, after the death of his w ife in Holland. (Letter home to Holland from Hermanus and Henry's Civil W ar records state that she died in Aug 14, 1849 in East Boston - hff.)

(She had many children…..with Willem Cobissen in Holland - hff) Herm an then moved to Appleton and worked in his nephew's cooper shop at Madis on and Lincoln Streets in Appleton.

The Wrightsto wn farm was across the fence from the Giesbers farm. Van Zeeland owns t he farm but the original home and buildings are no longer standing.

John Diederich (1812 - 1874) & Anna Clasen (1814 - 1879)
John4 Diederich (Johann Nicolaus3, Paul2, Johann Nicholas1) was born 4 M ay 1812 at Lierstall, Province of the Rhineland, West Germany, the s on of Johann Nicolaus and Anna Maria Catharina (Esper) Diederich. His bir th is recorded in the civil birth register of Virneburg, Province of the R hineland, and his birth and baptism are recorded in the baptismal regist er of St. Remigius Roman Catholic Church at Retterath, Province of the Rhi neland.He died 18 August 1874, age 62 years, three months, and 14 days, probab ly at his farm at Town of Lawrence, Brown County, Wisconsin. The funeral w as probably held at St. Mary's Catholic Church at DePere, Brown County, a nd he is buried in Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery at DePere. His dea th is recorded in the death register of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Also s ee Brown County death certificates, v. 3, p. 124, no. 370.He married Anna Clasen 21 November 1837 in a civil ceremony at Virnebur g, and on 30 November 1837 in a religious ceremony at St. Remigius Cathol ic Church at Retterath. Witnesses were Bartholomew Klapperich and John Sch neider. The marriage is recorded in the Virneburg civil marriage regist er and in the marriage register of the church.Anna Clasen was born 22 June 1814 at Arbach, Province of the Rhineland, t he daughter of Peter and Margaretha (Einig) Clasen. Her birth is record ed in the civil birth register of Virneburg, and her birth and baptism a re recorded in the baptismal register of St. Remigius Catholic Church at R etterath. She died in June 1879, age 65, probably in the family farmhou se at Town of Lawrence. The funeral was probably held at St. Mary's Cathol ic Church at DePere, and she is buried beside her husband in Mount Oliv et Catholic Cemetery there.John Diederich's birth is recorded in the civil birth register of Virnebu rg under the name of "Jean Dederich". The civil birth register of Virnebu rg dates from 1798, when it was set up by the French after France annex ed the territory west of the Rhine. Entry No. 209 for 1812, translated fr om the French original, reads:In the year one thousand eight hundred twelve, on the fourth of May, at ni ne o'clock in the morning, appeared before us, burgomaster of Virneburg, O fficer of the Civil Register of the Community of Lierstall, district and m unicipality of Virneburg, Department of Rhine and Moselle, Nicolas Diederi chs, twenty-eight years old, residing at Lierstall, farmer, who exhibit ed to us a child of male sex, born today, at two o'clock in the mornin g, to the declarant by his lawful wife, Marie Espers, to whom he stat ed to give the given name of "Jean". The aforementioned declaration and ex hibition took place in the presence of Mathieu Schmitt, forty-six years ol d, farmer, residing at Mannebach, and of Jean Houff, sixty-two years ol d, farmer, residing at Bereborn, and the father with the witnesses undersi gned together with us, after it had been read out to them.One can only imagine the inconvenience, to say nothing of the risks, of ca rrying a newborn infant son 11 kilometers (about seven miles) across the h ills in order to comply with the French bureaucratic requirements.John Diederich's baptism is recorded in the register of St. Remigius Catho lic Church at Retterath, a small community about a mile and a half nor th of Lierstall. Entry No. 20 for 1812 reads: 4th May, born and baptize d, Joannes Diederich of Lierstall, of Nicolaus Diederich and Maria Espe r, by Joannes Schuller and Catharina Schaeffer, both of them married. S ee Kirchenbuch Retterath, Abt. 72/685, no. 1, p. 89, now preserved in t he Bistumsarchiv (diocesan archives) at Trier. Retterath is in the Archdio cese of Trier.The baptismal register of the Catholic Church at Retterath contains this e ntry for the year 1814 on page 113:22nd of June, at Arbach was born and baptized Anna Klasen, the legitima te daughter of Petrus Klasen and Margaretha Einig, married couple. Lift ed from the holy baptismal font by Anna Diederich and Petrus Klasen, bo th of them single, of Arbach.
See Kirchenbuch Retterath, Abt. 72/685, no. 1, p. 113.As is the case in many European countries today, a German couple was th en required to contract a civil marriage, which could be followed by a chu rch marriage ceremony if they wished. Entry No. 26 of the Virneburg civ il marriage register for 1837 reads:In the year one thousand eight hundred thirty seven on the 21st twenty fir st of the month of November at three o'clock in the afternoon, appeared be fore me Carl Friedrich Hermes, burgomaster at Virneburg, Officer of the Ci vil Register, the bachelor Johann Diederich, twenty four years old, bo rn at Lierstall, Governmental District Coblenz, a farmer by profession, re siding at Lierstall, Governmental District Coblenz, of age, son of the he re present and consenting Johann Nicolas Diederich, a farmer by Professio n, residing at Lierstall in the Governmental District Coblenz and of the h ere present and consenting Maria Espers, farmer's wife by profession, resi ding at Lierstall in the Governmental District Coblenz and the virgin, An na Clasen, twenty two years old, born at Arbach, Governmental District Cob lenz, and of the here present and consenting Margaretha Einig, farmer's wi fe by profession, residing at Arbach, Governmental District Coblenz. The s ame ones have asked me to contract legally the marriage agreed upon betwe en them.Since the stipulated publishing of banns of this marriage had really tak en place at the main door of the town hall at Virneburg, namely for the fi rst time on the twelfth, and the second time on the nineteenth of this pre sent month of November, according to the publication register at this plac e, and since the documents concerning this publication had been publicly p osted up, and since there was no opposition against this marriage, to comp ly with the said request, I read out the following documents: namely1. the birth certificate of Johann Diederich, according to which the sa me one was born at Lierstall on the fourth of May, eighteen hundred twelve .2. the birth certificate of Anna Classen, according to which the same o ne was born at Arbach, on the twenty second of June, eighteen hundred four teen.All this according to Civil Register kept at this burgomaster's office.And the sixth chapter of the Civil Law dealing with matrimony was read o ut to them, whereupon I asked the aforementioned groom, and the aforementi oned bride: if they want to be united in matrimony?Since each of them separately answered this question affirmatively, I decl ared in the name of the law that Johann Diederich and Anna Classen, are le gally united in matrimony.
After that, I made this present document in the presence of Johan Schlaess er, thirty seven years old a farmer by profession, residing at Lierstal l, who is an acquaintance of the new married couple, of Johann Muller, thi rty five years old, a farmer by profession, residing at Virneburg, w ho is an acquaintance of the new married couple, of Peter Schaefer, fif ty eight years old, a farmer by profession residing at Virneburg, w ho is an acquaintance of the new married couple, and of Peter Nett, twen ty nine years old, a farmer by profession, residing at Virneburg, who stat ed to be an acquaintance of the new married couple; and these persons pres ent undersigned this document together with myself, after it had been re ad out to them, with the exception of the bride, of the groom's mothe r, of the bride's parents, and of the witness Peter Schaefer, who are illi terate.
The marriage register of the Catholic Church at Retterath contains this en try for 30 November 1837 on page 17:
The honorable adolescent, Joannes Diederich, the legitimate son of Joann es Nicolaus Diederich and Maria Esper, married couple of Liersthal, and t he chaste virgin, Anna Classen, the legitimate daughter of Petrus Class en and Margareth Einig, married couple of Arbach, after no impediment w as detected, were united in matrimony, in accordance with the regulati on of the Council of Trent, in the parish church of St. Remigius. Witness es were: Bartholomaeus Klapperich at Retterath and Joannes Schneider at Li ersthal.

See Kirchenbuch Retterath Abt. 72/685, no. 3, p. 17.
The death register of St. Mary's Catholic Church, DePere, contains this en try in Latin for the year 1874 on page 30: "Obiit Aug. 18va Joannis Dideri ch filius Joanie Nicolai et Annae conj. natus AD 1812." It is signe d, W. A. Verboort, pastor. Translated, it means "Died August 18th, John Di derich, son of John Nicholas and Anna, married. Born AD 1812." The Revere nd W. A. Verboort filed a death certificate at Brown County Courthou se on 10 September 1875 but the transcription (Brown County Death s, v. 3, p. 124, no. 370) contains a number of errors. It reports that Jo hn Dideich, farmer, was born 1802 in Germany, died August 18, 1874, a ge 72 years, at Lawrence, Brown County and is buried in DePere. His parent 's names are given as "John Nic Diderich" and "Anna". His wife's name is g iven as "Anna". The inscription on his gravestone reads, "John Diederic h/ Died/ Aug. 18, 1874/ Aged 62 yrs 8 ms/ & 6 d's." Whoever calculated h is age at death made an error of almost five months.
The death register of St. Mary Catholic Church contains this entry in Lat in for the year 1879 on page 41: "Gertrudis Diederiks (date unreadable) Ju nii 1879 Sepultis est conjun Joannis Diedericks aet 64." It is sign ed by A. Van Grotel, pastor at that time. Translated, this means, "Gertu de Diederiks, wife of John Diedericks, was taken away (date unreadable) Ju ne 1879, age 64." Why the register gives her name as "Gertrude" is unknow n. Since there was no other widow or wife of a John Diederich living in Br own County in 1879, it is evident that this entry records Anna Diederich 's death. Unfortunately, her death is not registered in Brown County dea th records. That portion of her gravestone which tells the date of her bir th and death has been broken off, and the remaining inscription reads simp ly, "Anna Diederich/ Wife of/ John Diederich." There was no obituary. T he Wisconsin State Historical Society at Madison has an excellent collecti on of Brown county newspapers published during this period, and these ha ve been searched to no avail. It simply was not customary for those loc al newspapers to publish death notices except of very important or wealt hy people, until a few years later.
John Diederich, his wife, Anna, and three children, Gertrude, Peter, and M ichael, emigrated to the United States sometime between 1843 (when Micha el was born) and 1847 when they settled in the Town of Lawrence, Brown Cou nty, Wisconsin.
The region from which they came is only 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwe st of the Rhine River city of Koblenz, but even today it is relatively iso lated and sparsely populated because of the poor road network. Accordi ng to the census of 1883, Lierstall was then a village of only 212 inhabit ants. Other nearby communities include Arbach (149 inhabitants), Berebo rn (115 inhabitants), Calenborn (227 inhabitants), Mannebach (231 inhabita nts, Oberelz (175 inhabitants), and Retterath (266 inhabitants).
These villages are in the Eifel Mountains, a region bounded on the nort h, east, and south by the world-famous rivers and vineyards of the Ahr, Rh ine, and Moselle. To the west, the district passes into the forest of t he Ardennes of Belgium and Luxembourg. The savage beauty of the Eifel is u niversally renowned as the peculiar mark of its landscape, whether abla ze with golden blossoming broom in the early spring or when the green foli age of the woods is reflected in the dark waters of the numerous ancient " maare" or volcanic lakes.
John Diederich may have left his native home because of the difficul ty of earning a living as a farmer in that forested and hilly land, but fa mily tradition is that he came to America to escape the draft. The war rea diness of the German armies was maintained through universal military serv ice in which every able-bodied man was required to serve his time.
When and where the family landed in the United States is not known, b ut on 9 February 1847, John Deitrick (sic) purchased, for $50, two trac ts of land in the Town of Lawrence from Philip Molitor and his wife, Ann a. The tracts are 20-acre rectangles, measuring 40 by 80 rods, and the nor theast corner of one adjoins the southwest corner of the other. In Brown C ounty deeds, Books ___, p. 204, the property is described as the Nor th ½ of the Southeast ¼ and the South ½ of the Southwest ¼ of the Southwe st ¼ of Section 20, Town 23, Range 20.
John Diederich built his home on the South ½ of the Southwest ¼, about a m ile west of West DePere. It is close by the road now designated County Tru nk EE. The two 20-acre tracts and buildings were owned by Nell Bolda in 19 68 when I visited the farm.
In the censuses of 1850, 1860, and 1870, John Diederich reported his occup ation as farmer. He apparently was successful.
In 1850, he told the census taker that his real property was worth $300. T he family was enumerated as follows:

John Deadarick 37 M Farmer
Anna " 35 F
Gertrude " 12 F
Peter " 10 M
Michael " 7 M
John " 3 M
Joseph " 7/12 M
In 1860, he reported his real property was worth $400, and his personal pr operty was worth $200.
By 1870, according to the census, his real property was worth $4,000, a nd his personal property was worth $900.
In addition to the original 40-acre homestead, John Diederich ultimately a cquired two other tracts. On 6 February 1856, he paid Joseph and Adeline M yers $250 for 51 acres of land, described in Brown County deeds, Bo ok X, p. 83, as the East Part of the East ½ of the Southwest ¼ of Secti on 19, Town 23, Range 20, consisting of a parcel 51 rods wide by 160 ro ds long running northwesterly. This tract is also in the Town of Lawrenc e, about a half-mile west of the first tract, on County Trunk EE. In 196 8, it was part of a 104-acre tract owned by Eugene and Mary Manders.
On 27 April 1869, John added 74¾ acres to his holdings, bringing the tot al to l65.75 acres. According to Brown County deeds, Book 18, p. 536, Lou is Scheuring and his wife, Mathilda, conveyed to John Diederich for $410 L ots 2 and 3 of Section 36, Town 23, Range 19, containing 74¾ acres mo re or less. These lots are on the opposite side of DePere and front on Cou nty Trunk GV, a mile and a half east of that city. In 1968, they were own ed by Roger Denis, et al.
When John Diederich died 18 August 1874, he apparently did not leave a wil l. At least none is recorded. Thus the property passed into the hands of h is widow and children, and they apparently held it jointly until 1 Octob er 1878, when his widow, Anna Diederich, sold her dower rights to Anton De idrich (sic), her son, and Peter Karst for $1,333.34. In addition to the d escription of all the various tracts of land, the deed reads, "The intere st intended to be conveyed hereby is my dower rights as the widow of Jo hn Deidrich and also my right as such widow to hold, use, and occupy the h omestead as such widow under the laws of Wisconsin reserving and excepti ng from such conveyance the sole use and right of possession and occupati on by myself during life of the front room and bedroom off therefrom in t he house now occupied by me and being on the said homestead situate on t he S.W. 20 acres of Section 20 as above conveyed." She signed with her mar k. See Brown County deeds, Book 31, p. 609.
That same day, her daughter "Gertrude Gates and Philip Gates, her husban d" sold their one-eighth share in the estate to Anton Diederich and Pet er Karst for $63.26. See Brown County deeds, Book 31, p. 608.
On 5 March 1879, "Joseph Diedrich and Cecilia Deidrich, his wife" sold the ir share to Anton Diedrich and Peter Karst for $150. See Brown County deed s, Book 39, p. 95.
The reason for the substantial difference in the amount of money each rece ived is unknown. Perhaps there was some other consideration involved whi ch is not mentioned in the deeds.
On 10 March 1880, "Peter Karst and Katherine Karst, his wife, of the To wn of Lawrence" conveyed the interest previously conveyed by Anna Diederi ch to Anton Diedrich for $125. By then, Anna Diederich was dead. See Bro wn County deeds, Book 39, p. 208.
Then on 1 April 1880, "Antoon Diederich and Mary Diederich, his wife, Math ias Diederich (unmarried), Theresia Pennings (nee Diederich), and John Pen nings, her husband," sold an undivided six-eighths interest in the two 20- acre tracts and the 74¾-acre lots east of DePere to Peter, John and Anto on Keyzers for $900. See Brown County deeds, Book 42, p. 294. "Mary Dieder ich of Fillmore County, Nebraska" sold her one-eighth interest in these pr operties to the Keyzers on 12 April 1880 for $150. See Brown County deed s, Book 42, p. 311. Peter Didrich of Miles City, Custer County, Montana, T erritory sold his one-eighth interest to the Keyzers on 19 June 1881 for $ 464.89. See Brown County deeds, Book 42, p. 459. Did Peter get more becau se he held out?
Also on 1 April 1880, "Antoon Diederich & Mary Diederich, his wife, Theres ia Pennings (Nee Diederich), John Pennings, her husband, and Mary Diederic h, unmarried," sold their six-eighths interest in the 51-acre tract to the ir brother, Mathias Diederich of DePere, for $800. See Brown County deed s, Book 42, p. 318. On 9 July 1881, "Mathias Diedrich of Brown County, Wis consin" resold the six-eighths interest in the 51-acre tract back to his b rother, "Antoon Deidrich of the same county" for $800. See Brown County de eds, Book 43, p. 556.
On 26 August 1882, "Antoon Deidrich and Mary Deidrich, his wife, of Bro wn County, Wisconsin" conveyed the 51-acre tract to William Michaelis of t he same county for $1,100. See Brown County deeds, Book 47, p. 23 9. On 21 May 1883, "Peter Diederich of Fort Benton, Choto County, Montan a" sold his one-eighth interest in the 51-acre tract to "William Michael is of Town Lawrence" for $100. See Brown County deeds, Book 47, p. 419. Th us, the last of the property acquired by John Diederich passed from the ha nds of his heirs.
Census and other records indicate John and Anna Diederich had at least ni ne children. Three were born before the family emigrated to the United Sta tes, and the other six were born in Brown County, Wisconsin. They were:

He was the fourth child born in Wiscons in after his parents migrated from Germany. There is no record of his bir th in Brown County records.He died Saturday, 16 February 1935, age almost 82, of _________, at St. Vi ncent Hospital, Green Bay, Brown County. According to his obituary, funer al services were conducted Monday, 19 February, in St. Benedict's Cathol ic Church, Suamico, Brown County, which he had helped organize about 191 8. A solemn high mass was sung by the Reverend M. Marmurowicz, Pastor, ass isted by a Norbertine priest as deacon and Frater Alphonsus Diederich, h is son, a sub-deacon. He is buried in St. Benedict's Cemetery at Suamic o. Antone Diederich's death certificate tells when and where he was born a nd died.

Her death certificate says she was born 13 September 1861 and died 25 Sept ember 1939, age 78 years, 1 month, and 10 days. See Brown County death rec ords, v. 40, p. 921. Obviously, either the birth date or age at death is i ncorrect. According to the Reverend A. F. Diederich, her son, she was bo rn 13 August 1861. Also, according to her death certificate, her mother 's name was "Mary Rodatz", but her father's death certificate says his wif e's name was "Frederica Schubing".
The marriage of Anthony Dideriks (sic) and Mary Klipstein is recorded in B rown County marriage records, v. 9, p. 104. His parents' names are giv en as "Johann Dideriks" and "Gerdrudis Tonon", and her parents' names a re given as "Martin Klipstein" and "Frederica Klipstein". Witnesses were M artin Dideriks and Bernardina Klipstein. The Liber Matrimonii et Defunctor um (marriage and death book) of St. Mary Catholic Church at DePere contai ns this entry for the year 1880 on p. 242 which has been translated from t he Latin:
Sixteenth January 1880 marriage was contracted by Antone Diedericks, age 2 6, son of John Diedericks and Gertrude Anna, born at DePere, and Maria Kli pstein, daughter of Martin Klipstein and Frederica Klipsten, Bernardina Kl ipstein and I were present.
Martin Klipstein was a farmer. He evidently migrated to the United Stat es about 1860 because his daughter, Bertha, was born in Germany in 1859 a nd his daughter, Mary, in Milwaukee in 1861. In the


The Klipstein and Diederich farms were across the road (now County Trunk E E) from one another in Town of Lawrence. In 1968, the Klipstein farm was s till held in the Klipstein family.
When Antone's father, John, died 18 August 1874, he apparently did not lea ve a will. Thus his property passed into the hands of his nine children. H is widow received a dower interest in the homestead.
Michael Diederich was killed 20 November 1876 by a train while walki ng on the railroad tracks in West DePere. Since he was unmarried and witho ut children, the eight surviving children inherited his share of their fat her's estate.
On 1 October 1878, Antone Diederich and Peter Karst bought the widow's dow er interests for $1,333.34. See Brown County Deed 31-609. That same day, A ntone's sister "Gertrude Gates and Philip Gates, her husband" sold their o ne-eighth share in the estate to Antone Diederich and Peter Karst for $63. 26. See Brown County Deed 31-608.
On 5 March 1879, "Joseph Diedrich and Anna Diedrich, his wife" sold the ir share to Anton Deidrich (sic) and Peter Karst for $1. See Brown Coun ty Deed 40-343.
On 14 July 1879, "John Deidrich and Cecilia Deidrich, his wife" sold the ir share to Anton Deidrich (sic) and Peter Karst for $150. See Brown Coun ty Deed 39-95.
The reason for the substantial difference in the amount of money each rece ived is unknown. Perhaps there was some other consideration involved whi ch is not mentioned in the deeds.
On 10 March 1880, "Pete Karst and Katherine Karst, his wife, of the To wn of Lawrence" conveyed the interest previously conveyed by Anna Diederi ch to Anton Diederich for $125. See Brown County Deed 39-208.
Then on 1 April 1880, "Antoon Diederich and Mary Diederich, his wife, Math ias Diederich (unmarried), Theresia Pennings (nee Diederich) and John Penn ings, her husband," sold an undivided six-eighths interest in the homeste ad and a 74¾-acre tract east of DePere to Peter, John, and Antoon Keyze rs for $900. See Brown County Deed 42-294. "Mary Diederich of Fillmore Cou nty, Nebraska" sold her one-eighth interest in these properties to the Key zers on 12 April 1880 for $150. See Brown County Deed 42-311. Pete Didri ch (sic) of Miles City, Custer County, Montana Territory" sold his one-eig hth interest to the Keyzers on 19 June 1881 for $464.89. See Brown Coun ty Deed 42-459.
Also on 1 April 1880, "Antoon Diederich & Mary Diederich, his wife, Theres ia Pennings (Nee Diederich), John Pennings, her husband, and Mary Diederic h, Unmarried," sold their six-eighths interest in a 51-acre tract to the ir brother, Mathias Diederich of DePere, for $800. See Brown County Deed 4 2-318.
Antone, his wife, and their infant daughter probably moved soon thereaft er to Stanton Precinct, Fillmore County, Nebraska, were his brothers, Jose ph and John, and sister, Mary Ann, had already moved. In the June 1880 Cen sus of Nebraska, p. 520B, he is recorded as "Antonio Diederich, farmer". H is homestead was next to his brother Joseph's and one farm removed from h is brother, John, with whom his sister, Mary Ann, was living. But evident ly he did not stay long, for on 9 July 1881, "Mathias Diedrich of Brown Co unty, Wisconsin," sold the six-eighths interest in the 51-acre tract ba ck to his brother, "Antoon Deidrich of the same county", for $800. See Bro wn County Deed 43-556. On 26 August 1882, 'Antoon Deidrich and Mary Deidri ch, his wife, of Brown County, Wisconsin," sold their interest in the tra ct to William Michaelis for $1,100. See Brown County Deed 47-239.
During the ensuing years, Antone Diederich evidently lived in various par ts of Brown County, for the birth records of his children include Nicolle t, West DePere, Ashwaubenon, and West DePere. His son, Ralph Leo Diederic h, was born at Rudolph, Wood County, Wisconsin, in 1902. Antone's obitua ry says he also "farmed in the Dakotas", but this may have been before h is marriage. He settled at Suamico about 1915, according to his obituary.

601 44027    Colleen was born on June 25, 1954 in Kaukauna, WI. She lost her struggle with pancreatic cancer and was called to heaven on September 25, 2016.
Colleen will be remembered for her altruistic service and her strength of will. She valued justice and fairness, and was not afraid to fight for those who needed a voice. Keaner went the extra mile to help anyone in need, be it family, friends, or students. She truly made a difference in the lives of many. Colleen had a strong moral character and held everyone to a higher standard.
Colleen received her Bachelor of Science degree from UW Eau Claire and her Master's degree from UW La Crosse. She began her teaching career in Greenwood, Wisconsin before taking her position at the Onalaska School District where she taught special education and sixth grade math until her retirement in 2011. Colleen believed that education was vitally important and worked tirelessly to ensure that each and every student got the chance to succeed. She implemented many school programs including "Stay for an A" (after school math tutoring) and new teacher mentorship. Students will remember her trademark sayings, "Coincidence? … I think NOT!" and "Work smarter, not harder", and most importantly her own definition of integrity.
Colleen believed in community service and was elected to three consecutive terms as county board supervisor. Colleen completed fifteen years of service at the La Crosse County Housing Authority, twelve of which she served as president. Colleen was a strong union supporter, served in multiple leadership roles, and was a master negotiator.
Colleen was the matriarch of her family as the oldest girl of eight siblings. She was beyond generous, lavishing love and affection on her nieces and nephews. Colleen was very proud of her family and Irish roots and established many traditions including a family dinner night where she cooked for everyone, "Camp Keaner" (sole visitation at Keaner's house) and most recently, the Hennes family Pumpkin Fest. Colleen had an extraordinary knack for elevating every holiday or occasion, making each truly special.
Colleen was a woman of many talents. She often used her sewing skills to make handmade gifts for her family. She coached golf as well as Odyssey of the Mind. Keaner was an avid reader and a life-long learner, she enjoyed spending her time golfing, traveling, and in the company of her many good friends. Everyone remembers Keaner's annual Christmas letters.
Colleen was preceded in death by her mother Lola Garvey Hennes and a nephew Maxwell Hennes. She is survived by seven siblings: Bruce (Julie) Hennes, Connie (Mike) Pynenberg, Louise Hennes, Amy (Randy) DeBruin, Maureen (Gary) Gottschalk, Mark (Carol) Hennes and Mary (Dan) Szafranski.
Nieces & Nephews: Aaron Pynenberg, Ryan Pynenberg, Abbey DeBruin, Justin Gottschalk, Sara Gottschalk, Jessica Olson, and Mercedes, Matthew & MacKenzie Hennes.
Great nieces and nephews: Sylvia and Violet Pynenberg, Elijah Gottschalk, Maycee Olson & Hayden Hart.
Godchildren: Annika Haskin, Connor Bowe and Leah Hietpas. And life-long friend Judy Kiar. A special thank you to Mimi for her loving care of our sister!
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at WICHMANN FUNERAL HOME, 537 N. Superior Street in Appleton. Visitation will be held on Saturday, beginning at 11:00 a.m. until the time of the service. In lieu of flowers a memorial scholarship fund will be established. Online condolences can be offered at www.wichmannfargo.com.

Researcher's note: The name of Harant was common at that time in this region. Perhaps many of them are related, if one goes
back far enough. However, it does slow the progress of research, since the index does not indicate enough data to know which
families are concerned. Also, in this case, the index does not mention the page of the referring record. This means that every
lead has to be traced separately throughout the register.

Note from Ron Harrand - Marionnette, WI
"The story I heard is great-grandmother Barbara Wolf Harrand took her children and boarded a boat (ship?) at their village
on the Moldav River. This river flows north through Prague, and then into the Elbe River to Hamburg, Germany. Upon
reaching Hamburg, they boarded another ship bound for the U.S.A., and landed in Philadelphia in May 1893. They then
proceeded to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Interestingly, I got that story from the sons of our great-aunt Mary (Marie) Mueller, whom
I met at their home in Prince George, British Columbia."

records were written in German, including village names. In this report, however, the contemporary Czech variants of the
German village names, to enable orientation in maps and further research on location. The area under investigation is the
Šumava region, where very little people live but which is very popular and well-known for recreation and winter sports. For
the rest, the records are followed as much as possible, including name variations, spelling mistakes, etc.

records were written in German, including village names. In this report, however, the contemporary Czech variants of the
German village names, to enable orientation in maps and further research on location. The area under investigation is the
Šumava region, where very little people live but which is very popular and well-known for recreation and winter sports. For
the rest, the records are followed as much as possible, including name variations, spelling mistakes, etc.

She grew up on a dairy farm and graduated from Appleton High School in 1940. As a young woman, Rosemary worked at Zwicker Knitting Mills in Appleton, and married Heraclus "Herk" Probst on November 10, 1945 at St. Therese Catholic Church in Appleton. Rosemary was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She enjoyed many hobbies and crafts including needlework, decorating eggs, planting cacti, collecting glass paperweights and playing bingo. She had lived in Kimberly for 68 years and was an active member of Holy Spirit Parish. She also volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul.
Survivors include three children: Kathleen (Daniel) Mitchell of Clintonville, Gerard (Jan) Probst of Appleton, and Diane (Paul) Jones of Holland, Michigan. Her grandchildren are Donald Mitchell, Andrew Mitchell, Elizabeth (fiancé Christopher Parker) Mitchell, Michelle (Shawn) Gossen, Carie (Jim) Fischer, Candace (Randy) Pavlik, Cathy (Jeremy Lind) Rosenow, Zachary (Heather) Jones, Rebecca (Daryl) Callan, and Victoria (Evan Birnholz) Jones. There are also eleven great-grandchildren: Abbey, Avery, Aidan, Anna-Marie, Gavin, Josie, Hailey, Breahna, A.J., Loralei, and Aurora; and a sister-in-law: Patricia Baum. Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Herk, several brothers and sisters: Margaret (Tony) Vanderloop, George (Mars) Baum, Fr. John "Peter" Baum, Vincent (Beulah) Baum, and Raymond (Georgiana) Baum; and by Herk's family: John and Emma (Kurey) Probst, Jeanetta (Fred) Steffens, Leonard Probst, Archie (Margaret) Probst, Eugene (Virginia) Probst, and Beatrice Probst.

Of the Catholic Sentinel

For the children of Edward and Sharon Van Dyke, running into friends at church with their own Dutch last name is perfectly normal. At St. Anthony Church alone, there are eight registered Van Dyke families, a small sampling of dozens of distant (and not so distant) relatives peppered around Washington County. Those relatives have also intermarried with the ancestors of other founding families who settled there - Vandeheys, Vanderzandens, Meeuwsens and Herinckxes - creating a concentration of Dutch community in the area.
For the Van Dykes, this countywide genealogical phenomenon started with one man - Theodore Van Dyke.
Born in 1847 in Reek, Holland, Theodore spent his boyhood in an almost-completely Catholic community. Mostly farmers, the Dutch immigrants followed the Irish, after the blight that caused the potato famine in Ireland spread across the English Chanel and Irish Sea to crops in Holland.
Theodore's mother died when he was 9; his father died three years later. All of the orphaned Van Dyke children, except one, decided to take the long journey to America. Theodore was almost 19 years old when they left.
When they arrived, they joined other families from their homeland in Wisconsin. It was there that Theodore met and married Mary Bernards, and together they traveled to Oregon in 1880, following rumors of temperate weather and ample farmlands. They bought acreage in Verboort.
It was there that Theodore and Mary's children were born. Theodore and his oldest sons planted giant Sequoia trees near the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Verboort. The cones were gleaned from a trip to Northern California. Those trees today reach higher than 150 feet.
Theodore's family was also the first in the area to own a car - a 1911 Buick. Son Henry Van Dyke established a successful seed-cleaning business in Verboort. Son Walter married Margaret Joosten and worked as a farmer and ran a dairy. For many years he directed the Visitation choir and his eldest son, Joseph, served for several years as county commissioner. Son William married Alagonda Evers. She was known as "Auntie Allie" and for her beautiful flower arrangements for the church and singing voice.
Said a book marking the Verboort Quadricentennial: "Each weekend, as she lovingly arranged the beautiful bouquets - with flowers, more often than not, from her own garden - she would burst forth in joyous song, and the church would resound with the lovely sacred melodies. Sometimes the pastor, overhearing, would steal in from outside, unnoticed, just to listen and enjoy."
Other members of the family were brothers Theodore and Henry, sisters Anna, Mary Ann, Theodora and Petronella, as well as two children who died at birth and two who died as infants.
Edward's grandfather, Joseph, was born to John Van Dyke, husband of Constance Hermens. John was a farmer, brick-maker and carpenter. He taught Joseph and two other sons (out of a family of 11) carpentry skills and many of the homes they built still stand in Washington County.In a personal account of his life, Joseph noted some of the houses he built with his brothers and dad: Among them were homes for Elmer Verboort, Art Verboort, Clem Vanderzanden, and Mickie and Franklin McCoy. Joseph's dad helped him build his own house where he would live with his wife, Marjorie Porter.
Marjorie and Joseph dated at Verboort High, but had known of each other all through grade school.
"When I was 16 and Joe 18, we became steadies," Marjorie wrote in a collection of stories about her family. Their first date was to a Hillsboro theater, where they saw a silent comedy starring Buster Keaton. She remembered Joe laughing "outrageously loud," and being a little embarrassed. Nevertheless, the couple married in 1931 at Visitation church, a ceremony officiated by Father Hugh McDevitt.
Joseph remembered the birth of his first child, Pat, in 1931. His memoirs include stories about his children growing up, including one of Pat as a baby.
"[She] was a pretty baby and was walking at 8 months. Sometimes she would crawl under the table and then stand up and walk around under there, and then bump her head when she tried to come out from under," he wrote.
The matriarch of the family, Mary, died in 1922, due to complications of influenza. When patriarch Theodore died in 1934, he left behind 54 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren.
Another Van Dyke legacy: Margaret Van Dyke, known to most as Maggie, suggested a sausage and sauerkraut dinner for the annual parish meal in 1938. Regarding that first parish dinner, the Verboort Centennial said, "the community served 150 dinners, 198 pounds of sausage and 10 gallons of kraut, and it was not enough."
Joseph was instrumental in helping rebuild Visitation church after it burned down in 1941. The parish couldn't rebuild immediately because resources were scarce in wartime, but Joseph spent 22 years on the parish committee, which eventually oversaw the rebuilding of the church.
In reflecting on his life (when he penned his memoirs in 1982), Joseph wrote: "As I look back over my 72 years to when we used coal oil lamps and lanterns for light, wood for cooking and heating the house, horses for farming and traveling; the country roads were just dirt, the main street of Forest Grove was planked with boards…We used slates and slate pencils to write with when I started school … Although we had none of the modern conveniences of today, people were more content then than they are now."
History compiled from the Verboort Quadricentennial, Verboort: A Priest and his People, by Father Scott Vandehey, and the memoirs of Joseph Van Dyke (My Life and Memories) and Marjorie Porter Van Dyke (Dust and Raindrops: Life on a Willamette Valley Farm Fifty Years After the Covered Wagons).

654 44636    Anthony "Tony" H. Kraus, 74, of Necedah, Wisconsin; loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and advocate of the unborn was called into the arms of our loving Lord surrounded by his immediate family on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, at his home.
He was born on December 1, 1938, to John and Arbella (Young) Kraus. Anthony married Judy Ann Roberts on May 14, 1958 at the Most Precious Blood Catholic Church in New London, Wisconsin. Tony proudly served his country in the National Guard from 1958 through 1962.
He spent his working years at the Neenah Foundry Company and retired after 40 years of dedicated employment in 1998. He had a love for the outdoors, especially for gardening, bird watching, fishing, and deer hunting. He had three donkey companions, Charlie, Alex and Pokey, which he cared for until he became too ill.
Anthony had a great sense of humor, often sharing stories and pranks with his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted member of the Necedah Shrine and worked many hours on the House of Prayer. Anthony has a strong belief that all life is precious, born or unborn. He was the founder of "Crusaders for Life" and traveled thousands of miles with many young men, women and others to promote life. He was a superhero to his children, and will be deeply missed by many.
As one of his grandchildren wrote: This evening the Lord Almighty welcomed my grandfather Anthony Kraus into his kingdom with open arms. During his final hours the family sat around him and comforted him with the love that a loving grandfather has earned over the course of many years. We all held his hand and told him how much he meant to us and the lessons he taught us. There is no other that I met who fought to be the voice for all the little ones who had no voice and never had the chance to take a breath on their own! We may mourn for a time now that he is gone, but now we will celebrate his life, as he lived with a whole heart. You could hear his chuckle from a mile away!
He is survived by his loving wife Judy of 55 years; his daughter, Julie (Greg) Robinson, of Neenah and their children, Michael (Melinda) Robinson, Matthew (Jenna) Robinson, Christopher Robinson, and Joshua (fiancee, Rachel) Robinson; his daughter, Christine (Edward) Gilmore of Neenah and their children, Sarah (Eric) Turner, Jonathon Gilmore, and Melissa Gilmore; his daughter, Lauri (David) Dausey of Neenah and their children, Katie (Greg) Wagner, and Jennifer Dausey; his son, Robert (Michele) Kraus of Necedah and their children, Nicole (Damian) Nowland, Edward (Erin) Bunch, and Shawn (Allison) Nollenberg; his daughter Sandra (David) Erickson of Neenah and their children, Amanda Shilobrit, Travis Shilobrit, and Josh Erickson; his daughter, Leann (Scott) Kaczmarek of Neenah and their children, Samantha Kaczmarek, and Grace Ann Kaczmarek; along with 12 great-grandchildren. He is further survived by his sisters, Joyce Kelley of Appleton WI; Sandra Kavanaugh of Kaukauna WI; a brother, Lester (Darlene) Seggelink of Little Chute; as well as many other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Arbella, and stepfather, Lester Seggelink, along with his brothers, Tom Seggelink and Milton Kraus, and one sister, Francis Wochinski.
"Daddy, you have always been our superhero. You will be greatly missed. We love you forever. Your Children."
The family would like to thank all of those who prayed and cared for Tony during his long illness of five years.

690 46033    Sally Anne (Van Ryzin) Johnson, 83 of Appleton, beloved matriarch and constant scholar, passed away Monday, May 1st, 2017. Sally died peacefully surrounded by her family at Touchmark.
Sally was born in Appleton on March 29th 1934 to Mark and Dorothy (Fennel) Van Ryzin. She had a happy childhood playing and seeking adventure with many neighborhood friends and enjoyed the sole attention of her family until the first of her four siblings made his appearance when she was eight years old. She also developed her lifelong love of learning, reading and writing.
Sally attended Appleton High School (West) where she excelled academically and participated in many extracurricular activities, including starring in many school plays, writing for the school newspaper and editing the school yearbook. She graduated in 1952 near the top of her class and had many friends who became lifelong friends. After graduation, she worked for a local travel agency while she planned her wedding to her high school sweetheart, James (Jim) Johnson.
Sally and Jim were married on October 11th, 1952. They welcomed the first of their six children, Jeffrey, the following summer. Four more boys, Patrick, Scott, Peter and Joel, quickly followed. Then, to their surprise, a baby girl was born, Anne. Sally embraced motherhood and was very involved with her active bunch. She was an excellent cook and homemaker, enjoyed crafts, read three books every week and wrote in her journal daily. She taught herself to sew, knit and macramé. She had an eye for design and began collecting antiques. The historic home she furnished more than thirty years ago still looks stunning today. She made things beautiful without fuss. Her signature Christmas Eve prime rib dinner remains a cherished memory for her family. The family enjoyed RV'ing, camping, skiing and sailing together, and later, enjoyed their cottage on Maiden Lake in the north woods of Wisconsin with the family dog in tow.
Sally's love of arts and crafts inspired her, along with a few friends, to open The Craft Peddler, which specialized in one of a kind arts and crafts. In 1980, she sold her share of the business and went to college, fulfilling a lifelong dream. She started at UW-Fox Valley and wrote for the school newspaper, quickly becoming Editor. After two years at UW-Fox Valley, she earned a scholarship to Lawrence University in Appleton, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature.
After graduating, Sally went to work as an editor for AAL (now Thrivent Financial). After a few years, Sally went back to school, this time at UW-Milwaukee, to pursue her Masters degree in English Literature. She then fulfilled another life dream of teaching English and creative writing as a lecturer at UW-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh. She continued to write, including a life memoir that she worked on until recently, and had several articles, poems and short stories published along the way.
During retirement, Sally enjoyed traveling with Jim and her family, spending time at their cottage, taking RV trips, biking, hiking, gardening, reading and writing. She was active in her neighborhood association and fought to preserve its local landmarks. She volunteered at local elementary schools and worked with students on their reading skills. She loved live music and going to plays. She supported the arts and read the newspaper daily, staying on top of current events. She never stopped learning and continually exercised her mind. She always exuded a positive, upbeat attitude and had a real zest for life.
Sally is survived by her husband, Jim, of nearly 65 years; her children, Jeffrey (Carol) of Appleton, Patrick (Kelly) of Lolo, MT, Scott of Appleton, Peter (Lori) of Oshkosh, Joel of Appleton and Anne (Nathan) of Neenah; her grand-children, Sara (Casey) of Waupaca, Julie of Appleton and Brittany (Corey) of Oshkosh; her great-grand-children, Lucille, Reed and Dane (Sara & Casey) and Magnolia (Brittany & Corey); her siblings, Michael (Judith) Van Ryzin of Green Bay, Kathleen Morrison of Appleton, Judith (Robert) Schmidt of Appleton and Mark Thomas (Rita) Van Ryzin of Cypress, CA; brother-in-law, Guy (Beverly) Johnson, Appleton; numerous nieces and nephews and her beloved golden retriever, Carly.
Sally is preceded in death by her grand-daughter, Elizabeth Marie (Jeffrey & Carol), sister, Susan and brother-in-law, Angus (Kathleen).
A catholic mass to celebrate Sally's life will be held on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at St. Mary's Parish, 312 S. State Street, Appleton. Visitation will be from 3:00-5:30pm, mass at 5:30pm and a reception will follow at the church.

692 46099    Dear Jay, Thank you very much for the information and the advise. Bernard Boyle w as born in Kerry county, but in 1797--it seems that the British burnt Cath olic churches, records, and parishioners as part of their policy, so the re isn't much. I'll write to Kris Matties as you suggested, to inquire.
Bernard Boyle married to Mary McCann in the US. Mary McCann was bo rn in New Jersey in 1825. Their first child was born in Columbiana Count y, Ohio. Being very Catholic, I would assume there would be records of b aptisms, marriage, etc. And perhaps some reference to his roots, but I' ve been told the Irish roots can be very, very difficult to discover.
This past week www.genlias.nl has added a bunch of info for Berlicum to th eir website. In addition, www.brabantarchieven.nl was suggested by a Dut ch contact, and it has been very helpful in the pre 1811 period.

It suggests:
Joannes Vandenberg (your generation 1) was born 28 Jan 1758 to Petri Joann is van den Bergh and Anna Philippi van Uden (b. 8/22/1724) with a marria ge date of June 13, 1790. Anna seems to be the daughter of Philippus Anto ni van Uden and Anna Maria van Gerven, although there is a record of Phili ppus marrying a Christina Rutte van Lokven 4 years earlier--perhaps the fi rst wife died??
Arnolda van den Boom was born May 08, 1759 to Petri A. den Boom and Elizab etha Leonardi Lee or Leeje. They were married Oct 17, 1751.

712 47101    Harold J. Welhouse, Kaukauna, age 90, passed into God's loving embrace on November 11, 2012. A lifelong resident of Kaukauna, he was born April 27, 1922, to the late Joseph and Johanna (VanLinn) Welhouse. Harry began his work career at his father's business, Jos. Welhouse & Sons Construction, after his 8th grade graduation, and continued learning his craft until he enlisted in the Navy in October, 1942, serving on the USS Stratford in the Pacific Arena as a Gunner's Mate 2nd Class until his discharge in January, 1946. During his service career, he was awarded a commendation in marksmanship from his Gunnery Officer for having shot and sunk a Japanese mine that was endangering their ship. When returning from service, Harry continued working with his father's company until he joined Schwalenberg Builders, retiring in 1984. During his career, he was a talented 'finishing' carpenter and was much sought after for his expertise.
On September 4, 1948, Harry married the love of his life, RoseAnn "Blondie" (Van Bakel), enjoying 46 years of marriage. Together they raised nine children. Though never having moved onto high school, he put great store in education and was proud that each of his children graduated from high school, many following with college and some to master's programs. Harry enjoyed golf in his younger years and began as a caddy at Oakwood Hills, in Kaukauna, while still a teenager. Taking up the game, he achieved the Class A championship Trophy in 1952. Hunting was another passion and he knew all the places for pheasant, grouse, occasionally duck, but especially deer. His accuracy in marksmanship led to many meals of wild game on our table. Dad loved deer hunting so much that the year he broke his foot, he had the cast cut off in time to tromp in the woods. He would wish you all well as the season starts; he will be joining you in spirit.
Some men leave legacies of money and philanthropy while others have their names in history books, our father leaves behind a legacy of unending love. He loved each and every one of his children, their spouses, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren fully. There will be many memories of his bacon and egg breakfasts, dancing to his favorite songs with the granddaughters, watching football with his sons and talking of their hunting stories. To him, all his children were his favorites. As a new generation entered the scene, his great-grandchildren also enjoyed sitting on Grandpa Harry's lap.
He is survived by his children: Harold Lee (Sharon), Char (Mark) Beschta, Christine (Joseph) McMahon, Joseph, Jean (Jon) Orr, Paul (Lois), Kathryn (Robert) Berken, Laurie (Al) Bowers, and Marilea. He is further survived by his grandchildren: Nikki (Eric) Pangburn, Harold and Lee Welhouse, Michael (Samantha) Beschta, Ellen (Marko) Gerovac, Amy Beschta, Vanessa and Benjamin Orr, Zachary (Niki) Welhouse, Robert, Heather, Katelyn and Daniel Berken, Ryan (Abby) Bowers, Rachel (Greg) Lau, Ashley (fiancé, Brad Moureau); great-grandchildren: Brittieny, Charlie and Calea Pangburn, Calibor Welhouse, Drew Bowers, Noah and Cooper Lau; sisters and brothers-in-law: Margaret Welhouse, Ginger (Welhouse) Stuyvenberg, Delores, Joseph (Angela), Adrian (Theresa) Van Bakel, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Harold was preceded in death by his wife, RoseAnn, great-grandson, Elijah Pangburn; brothers: Jerome, James (Rosemary), and Eugene; sisters: Agnes (Jim) Sanders and Alice (Don Garrigan), brothers and sisters-in-law: Ardina (Ray) Pritzl, Joanne (Ed Van Thiel), Leo (Beryl) Van Bakel, best friend/hunting buddy, Irvin Hopfensperger; deer camp hunting buddies: Bud Garvey, Jimmie Strick, and Red Regan.
We were fortunate that Dad was able to live on his own in the house he built until recently.
The Mass of Christian Burial will be at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at ST. KATHARINE DREXEL PARISH at ST. MARY'S CHURCH, 119 W. 7th St., Kaukauna with Fr. Jerry Pastors and Fr.

(The following text needs to be edited it was vocally transcribed...)
one of his favorite pastimes as a little boy was hammering nails into a ground
many of the more than to the modern 24 structures built by Anton Tony Welhouse are still in use today in the Fox River Valley, an enduring testimony to the quality of the craftsmanship of this hard-working carpenter whose career spanned 46 years in the early and mid 1900's. He was best known for the barns he built, 88 of them, according to his records. The largest one was constructed in 1918 in the town of Buchanan for Dan Ryan who wanted "the biggest barn in the County." It measures 46 by 120 ft., reaches 50 ft. to the peak, and is now owned by the Robert Berghuis family. It was built at a cost of $420 for labor, netting him a profit of $66.91. The average wage paid a worker was approximately 45¢ per hour. Most of these bonds were built with a gambrel roofs. In those days barn timber for put together in sections called bands on the ground, with the joints been secured with oak pegs. The assembled sections were then raised to form the skeleton of a barn. As time went on, more parts such as tresses, or prefabricated, short attending the time it took to build a barn. Anton Tony Wells also built more than a hundred and five homes and 31 sheds, including the buildings at his home on highway 55, south of cocotte, where his son and family now live. The House is representative of a style called prairie architecture with its square two-story shape and hip roof. He also built silos, the remodeling and repair and moved many buildings in the area. Tony was born on a farm located in the area of the present St. Aloysius parish, the son of Gephardt John and Johanna interment will house, December 31st, 1890. His father died five months before his birth, of sunstroke watchmaking fences with his neighbor, Mike Klein.

In memory of Evelyn and Martin Van Schyndel- written by their granddaughter Amanda
"The Last Ride"
On the last ride
On the way home
Played a song that was just out
When we began to first ride,
And now on our last we heard it again.
It played in the start and in the end…
On our last ride…
We didn't have as good of a time
As we did when we first started
But we had nothing in our way
But the illness that affects our hearts,
That stopped the only thing our hearts desired.
On our last ride
We had sun and we had clouds
We had snow and we had cold hearts
We knew it was the end of one chapter of life
And the start to a brand new chapter of lifestyle,
There is no sadder than good bye…
On the last ride
We went early and made it through
One more day without her scared
Of others wicked nonsense
That cause her heart so much pain
To lose the love of new places.
With the last ride what crosses my mind…
Is the same wicked nonsense might have
Murdered true love that she loved so much.
And her to live without that passion
That burned inside of her years and years.
The last ride was a memory
And it will rest in peace…
Along a road of faith and fate
Beside still waters and rows of corn

733 47965    Lawrence "Larry" John Seidl, age 83, of Appleton, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 7, 2015, with his family by his side at Appleton Medical Center. On June 24, 1931, Lawrence John was born on the family farm in Calumet County, the youngest of twelve children, to the late Charles and Mary (Sigl) Seidl. At an early age, Larry was intrigued by many odd jobs and if he saw something that needed fixing or a tune-up he would get it in working condition and try selling it. If someone was looking for a specific part, Larry could always find it. He dabbled in TV repairs and sales with his mother, worked at Linwood Auto Sales, a paper mill and also at a dairy plant. Upon graduating high school from Appleton West, Larry worked for Lindy's Ambulance and enjoyed helping others. In 1957, Larry and his wife Carole started their family business, Larry's Ambulance and Hearse Service. Larry found a niche in the hearse business renting to funeral homes and the ambulance business eventually became Larry's Funeral Coach Service. As the business expanded statewide, he added trade funeral services and is now known as Larry's Livery Service, which is located in the same place it started 58 years ago. Over the years, Larry taught his son, Jeff, the business so he could follow in his footsteps, carrying on the family tradition. Up until ten years ago, Larry enjoyed working with Jeff and going on all of the long trips. Larry was known for his generosity. He always had something for someone when he'd stop to see them, whether it was a box of doughnuts, flowers, pens, or different trinket of sorts.
Larry was united in marriage to Carole Mae Gloudemans on October 30, 1954 at St. John Catholic Church in Little Chute; she preceded him in death on July 21, 1990. On February 25, 2009, he married Mary Catherine "MC" Blessing in Appleton and they spent many happy years together.
Larry enjoyed vegetable gardening as well as having family and friends over for a barbeque in which there was never a shortage of food. A few years ago, he became a member of the Appleton Lions Club.
Larry loved spending time with his family and treasured the many friendships he made over the years.
Larry will be greatly missed by his wife, MC; his children: Sandy (Jerry) Conrad, Larry (Kathy) Seidl Jr., Jeff Seidl; his grandchildren: Ray (Leah), Neil, Chad (special friend, John), Tony (Lillie), David (Jessie), Hailey (fiancé, Steve), Alyssa, Matthew, Alex, and Ryan; his great-grandchildren: Taylor, Kayla, Miranda, Izac, Henry, Ana, Natalie, Garrett, Erin, and Wesley; his sister, Agnes T. Seidl; his step-children: Judy (Larry) Tweed, Todd (Lisa) Blessing, Shawn (Christine) Blessing; daughter-in-law, Christy Blessing; step-grandchildren: Tanner, Grazier, Amanda, Lawson, William, Nicholas, Payton, and Olivia; brother-in-law, Tim (Milly) Grazier; sister-in-law, Judy (Bill) Duey; his very special nieces and nephews, to whom Larry was a Godfather to many; and other loving relatives and friends.
In addition to his parents and his first wife, Larry was preceded in death by his daughter, Cindy; a stepson, Patrick; his brothers: Charles (Agnes), Joseph (Rose), Frank (Catherine), Henry (Jean) (Carol), Mike (Leone), William (Rita), and Leonard (Catherine) (Charlene); and his sisters: Mary (Louis), Louise (Fred) and Kathryn (Bill).
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:30 am on Tuesday, April 14, 2015, at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 500 W. Marquette Street in Appleton, with Fr. William Van Dynhoven officiating. Visitation will be held on Monday evening, April 13, 2015 starting at 3:00 pm at St. Pius X and concluding with a Prayer Service at 7:00 pm followed by the Rosary for those who wish to participate.

Russ, Myra Dercks take trip of lifetime to ancestral homeland

By Jim Pinkham
For the Times-Villager
For Russ and Myra Dercks, the trip of a lifetime began with an e-mail last spring from Myra's second cousin and his wife in Ottawa, the Canadian capital.
They said: "We're going to Holland in the fall. We'd like to have you come with us. Are you interested?' " Myra recalls.
At first, this Little Chute couple in their 70s, placidly wintering in Florida when the e-mail arrived, thought they weren't.
Eventually, though, the lure was too strong. Myra, one of 14 children, has a fervent interest in her family's roots, but it's one that came late in life. She began to wonder what made her grandfather, Henry Van Zeeland, who already had six children at the time, pull up stakes from his home in Gemert, the Netherlands, and head to America to become the patriarch of the Wisconsin Van Zeelands.
"By the time I got interested, there was nobody left to ask," Myra explains ruefully.
Mary Kalupa, of Kaukauna, another Van Zeeland by birth, helped Myra start on the quest half a dozen years ago by sharing the information she had acquired on the family tree.
Van Zeeland 'every which way'
About the same time, a month after Myra first ventured onto the Internet, she found a second cousin, John Van Zeeland, who lived in Ottawa. It turned out that Myra and John's grandfathers were brothers and that John himself had lived in Gemert until 1960, when at age 26, he emigrated to Canada.
It was a connection born of persistence: "I just kept typing on the Internet 'Van Zeeland' every which way to find somebody that could tell me about Gemert," Myra recalls.
Myra stumbled upon the resume of John's daughter, then looking for work, and explained she had no job to offer but would appreciate some help with the quest. The reply came back immediately that John had been looking for the Wisconsin Van Zeelands.
It wasn't long before John and his wife, Diane, came to Little Chute for a week to visit.
"We hit it off right away," says Myra. "It was just like, well, having family."
In fact, an impromptu family reunion ensued during the visit when the Derckses took the Van Zeelands to dinner at Jacks or Better and 40 relatives showed up to greet with them with just a brief word-of-mouth notice in advance.
Connections old and new
The friendship has continued over the years. John gave Myra a genealogical treasure trove - a copy, mostly translated into English, of a family book that traces the Van Zeelands through 11 generations and back into the 1400s.
For John, who has three sisters still living in Gemert, the odyssey there was a chance to renew old ties. And it was natural to invite the Derckses, who had never been, to accompany them.
The adventure began when Russ and Myra loaded up the car Sept. 16 and drove to Ottawa. After a few days of visiting and final preparations, the two couples drove to Montreal on Sept. 20 and caught a flight to Brussels, where they toured the next day before heading to Gemert on Sept. 22.
The next two weeks, until their Oct. 4 departure, wove a rich tapestry of memories - including a chance for Russ, with some advance logistical help from Times-Villager correspondent Jeroen Ketelaars, to locate and visit the tiny Dutch enclave of Zyfflich, just over the German border. There they found the place where Russ' grandfather had lived before coming to Little Chute with Father Vandenbroek.
Transoceanic saloonkeeper
Leafing through Myra's scrapbook of the trip awakens dozens of scenes she'll never forget. The base of operations was Gemert, the village of Grandfather Van Zeeland. There they saw the church where Myra's grandparents had married, and the site where Henry had kept saloon in the city square. It proved to be a transoceanic occupation: He plied the same trade in Kimberly, and the first seven of Myra's 13 siblings were born in the boardinghouse above his saloon in the Van Zeeland Building.
In Gemert, three third cousins came calling, including Ad Otten, the city archivist, whom Myra met online two years ago, during one of her online forays. While in town, "Any information that I wanted, he got for me," Myra says, gratefully.
The cousins presented Myra with a new Dutch copy of the family book tracing the Van Zeeland lineage, which Ad Otten and Adrianus Van Zeeland had co-authored.
A mysterious paternal portrait
One afternoon Otten took the couples on a walking tour of Gemert, where they passed a home continuously inhabited by Van Zeelands for more than 400 years - and where later they would experience the most mysterious moment of their trip. The current occupant, Adrian Van Zeeland, heard his North American relatives were in town and called imploring them to visit. And so they stopped by on their last morning in Gemert.
"He had my father's picture and he knew all about my father," Myra recalls, a remarkable fact given that her father had never been to Holland, but the picture had her father's handwriting on the back, and she estimates that since her father was just a lad in the photo it had to be at least 120 years old.
To this day, however, Myra doesn't know how Adrian came by the picture or knew of her father. A cancer survivor, Adrian had a house call from his doctor while his guests were there, and they had to leave before he could supply answers.
Other images endure, too, including the visit to Maria Magdalena Chapel, a church that a Van Zeeland ancestor built and funded in perpetuity. The day trip to Amsterdam, where they saw the Anne Frank House, sailed the canals, stumbled twice through the outskirts of the infamous Red Light District, and returned for a midnight enactment of what had become a ritual nightcap at the home of their hosts, Harry and Gerta Donkers.
Barbecue bash and 80th birthday
Their hosts created many memorable moments. Harry's first wife was John Van Zeeland's deceased older sister, but despite the seemingly slender connection, the hospitality was rich. The two families had only planned to spend a week at the Donkers, but shortly into the visit their hosts said moving would be too much hassle and invited them to stay for the duration.
The Donkers threw a big Van Zeeland family barbecue bash their first Saturday in town. Harry's seven kids were on hand, as were John Van Zeeland's three sisters, and a plethora of children and grandchildren. Special family times also included a Sunday Mass, arranged by John's sister, Annie, for their mother and later a party to celebrate Annie turning 80.
Throughout the trip, there were calls and drop-ins and parties as word of the visitors got out. The evening of Annie's birthday also boasted a visit to Leo Van Zeeland, another cousin that Myra tracked down about a year ago during her online trekking. (All the cousins traced their forebears back to Henry Van Zeeland and his brothers, but the ongoing genealogical research has reconnected some branches of the family that had lost touch with each other.)
Their last Sunday in town, Oct. 2, was the annual Schut Sunday, which derives from a much ballyhooed and time-encrusted shooting competition that participants enjoy by invitation only. The person firing the last, decisive shot in the competition becomes king of the Schut for the next year and his wife, the queen. Harry and Gerta, king and queen for the second time, led a march to the chapel, some special rituals during the Mass, a flag ceremony, a coffee, and a march through town.
Two days later, after leaving the ancestral homestead of Adrian Van Zeeland and its mysteries, the couples headed back to Brussels, where they spent the night at the villa of Jan Werts, now a prominent European correspondent for a variety of publications, but also a boyhood friend of John Van Zeeland from Gemert. The next day it was back to Montreal, and thence to Ottawa. From there, Russ and Myra drove to Niagara Falls and onward to Holland, Mich., where they took the car ferry home across the lake, and arrived back in Little Chute Oct. 10.
Hospitality most memorable
There are many things the Dercks will remember about this trip: the Dutch passion for fresh air with windows always open at night, bicycles so plentiful that parking garages are built just for them, brick omnipresent as a construction material (wood is a scarce, regulated commodity among the environmentally conscious Dutch), even the smallest backyards landscaped, hedges within hedges of varied colors, the remarkable absence of clutter, the Gemert city song, written by a priest, that tolls out every hour from municipal buildings.
Most of all, though, they'll remember the hospitality, from their friends and relatives, and especially the home so graciously opened by Harry and Gerta Donkers.
"I just couldn't believe how wonderful they were to us," says Myra. "They just treated you like long-lost friends. Family is very important to them. … Everybody just greeted us like we were the Lost Dauphin almost, and we didn't expect that."
Would they make the trip again? No, not at their age, but Myra's relatives from Gemert plan to come to the States, and the Derckses are looking forward to it.
"We expect we're going to get a lot of company now, and we would enjoy that," she says.

742 48457    Bellevue - 1943-2018
My story began on September 26, 1943. I grew up in Menasha, WI, the youngest child of Peter and Marie (Broeren) Brochtrup. My family also included a brother, Frank, and two sisters, Mary Ann and Pat. I attended Sacred Heart Seminary in Oneida, WI for 6 years. After leaving the seminary, I graduated from St. Norbert College in De Pere, majoring in Sociology.
In March of 1967, I joined the Marine Corps and started Officer Candidate School. I received my commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in June and completed the Basic School (TBS6-67) in November. I served in Viet Nam as an artillery officer and am a veteran of the Battle of KheSanh during the Tet offensive. I've always been so very proud and honored to have served beside so many of my fellow Marines. It was a very important and meaningful time of my life.
After completing 3 years of service, I was a co-owner of Rubber Engraving in Green Bay, WI. I married Jane Danen in 1987. Together, we received the greatest gifts of our lives through the adoption of our daughter, Abby (from India), and 3 ½ years later through the birth of Natalie. I have loved my daughters more than anything in my life.
Upon retiring, I enjoyed being outdoors hunting, fishing, bird watching, and gardening. I ran in the Bellin Run, played basketball in college, and was an avid sports fan - especially of the Packers!
I was blessed to be able to attend numerous Marine Corps reunions, ceremonies and get-togethers with my friends from the Marines.
On April 15, 2018, I left this earthly life and for brief a time, I leave my daughters, my sister, Mary Ann (Appleton), my brother, Frank and his wife June (Dallas TX), and my nieces and nephews.

Okay, now the explanation of these data. Op 7 April 1860 a Maria Broeks was born to Johannes and Gertrui Broeks - van Handel in Merselo, Venray. Althought the year is wrong, this must by Sister Charitas Brooks. The date is right. Jan and Gertrui Broeks - van Handel did not have more than 3 children. In the Bevolkingsregister we can see this. This register was an on-going census-like-register. In my attachments it is called DBR……. These registers were large books which would be renewed every 20 years from 1860 on. It contains data about the people living in the town, but also where en when they came from and where en when they went to. But in the begin-times people were not always very accurate in maintaining it.
What I found for Jan Broeks and his family so far.

Jan Broeks, carpenter en shop owner, will publically sell his house, garden, etc. in Merselo address Kleindorp. He also sells some land in Venray. The sale will take place in the pub of the widow Rongen called 'Op de Thomas' in Merselo.
Johannes Arts, hired hand at the Widow Poels in Merselo, buys it for fl. 1.850,-.
December 7, 1867 (source: DNO 1867-12-07 Jan Broeks…)
The notary will publically sell movable property of Jan Broeks. This was at December 7 in the house of Jan Broeks in Merselo at 13.00 hours.
First the conditions of the sale are mentioned and on page 2 en further all the property is written with the price it was sold for. And who bought it. Interesting to see what people had and how much it costed. Some examples:
2. spinnewiel for fl. 3,50 - spinning wheel
8. dorschvlegel for fl. 0,10 - flail
57. zaag for fl. 0,75 - saw
58. aks for fl. 2,10 - ax
64. schaafbank for fl. 4,00 - plane(r) or lathe
69. and 70. Waschkuip for fl. 2,00 and fl. 3,00 - tub or vat to wasch in
104. korte kar for fl. 16,00 - short trolley
143. wanmolen for fl. 16,50 - fan mill ???
148. and 149. kast for fl. 23,00 and fl. 13,00 - cupboard
150. klokkenstoel for fl. 12,00 - belfry or clock??
161. spiegel for fl. 1,50 - mirror
Basically he sold all his carpenter tools and tools to work on the land. I did not see any furniture besides 2 closets. Nor clothes (they probably took it with them) or cooking tools and cups and plates.
24 February 1868 (source: DNO 1868-02-24 Jan Broeks…)
Now Jan Broeks sells the rest of his belongings he can't take with him. Like a bed, pots, a cow, lamps, ironer, pans and other kitchen stuff. And also 'porcelein' which means cups and plates. It seems to me as these items were still in use till they actually emigrated.
Than the civil certificates.
08-07-1857: birth of Adrianus Broeks at 22.00 hour in the evening. (1857-07-08 GAK Adrianus Broeks Venray 61)
07-04-1860: birth of Maria Broeks at 23.00 hour in the evening. (GAK 1860-04-07 Maria Broeks 49)
20-08-1864: birth of Johanna Hendrika Broeks at 02.00 hour at night. (GAK 1864-08-20 Johanna Hendrika Broeks 73)
29 May 1866: death of Johanna Hendrika Broeks, 1 year old, at 02.00 hour at night.
On the front of Sister Charitas picture (as sister) it says she was born as Mary vandenBroek in 1854 in Oploo (this is in Brabant). The back side just mentions North Brabant (Brabant) as birth place. Not Beltrum???
Between april 1 and april 21 there was no child born in Oploo.
In 1849 Jan and Gertrui lived in Venray, in the Bevolkingsregister, which is an on-going proces no child other than those born in Venray are mentioned. So I think Sister Charitas is born in 1860 in Venray.
You are free to share these documents with Mrs. (Brooks) Selig. If you could share her email-address I would like to ask her some questions. Or you can send my request to her, so she can answer herself.

JOHN ANTON SMITH (1868-1942) & ANNA HUSS ROMENESKO (1875-1948)
It was through son, John, that the Smith name became familiar in Freedo m. He headed a large family of thirteen children and many remained in t he area. John married Ann Schommer. They had three children, Adeline, R ay & Estella, but at the latter's birth, both Ann, age 28, and daughter di ed (1895). Adeline was age 5 and Ray, 2. John's sister, Liz Nabbefeldt, t ook care of Adeline and Ray until John married (1896) Anna Huss Romenesk o, a widow with one child, Nick Romenesko. John & Anna became parents of n ine more children: Earl, Stella (Brittnacher), Edna (Brittnacher), Berdi na (Konkle), Mabel (Schwartz), Elmer, Harold, Florian & Ruben. (See Append ix C for pictures of these siblings.)
Anna Huss was the 10th of 11 children of Nicloeus "Nick" Hoss/Huss from Lu xembourg and Christine Miller from Belgium. They married in 1858 and ca me to the U.S. in 1864 with 3 children. They settled in Appleton where Ni ck worked at various jobs - in a rake factory, as a section hand on a rail road and in a paper mill - saving enough money to buy 80 acres south of Fr eedom in 1872. "Eventually he owned 320 acres of improved farmland. At o ne time he was the Postmaster of the Township."
John & Anna's children from their first marriages fit very well with the ir subsequent children. Their son, Elmer, recalled how "Our family never t alked about these things. We would hear about such things from others. I w ould hear the Schommer boys (John's first wife was Ann Schommer) s ay to my dad, 'Hello, Uncle John.' I wondered what they meant by 'uncle ', but didn't ask. I did hear some things about family history when relati ves got together at funerals."
John & Anna operated a diversified dairy farm, producing corn, hay and oa ts, but also growing beets and cabbage as a cash crop in addition to breed ing farm stock. An ad in a local registry stated: "Smits, John A., Duck Cr eek Stock Farm, breeder of Norman horses, Jersey and Holstein cattle, Cots wold sheep and Chester White hogs." John and Anna's son, Elmer recalled, " We had acres of cabbage and potatoes that we would haul to a warehou se in Seymour and sell them in the winter when the price was better. We al so took them by a horse pulled-cart to town to sell."
There was one sale that didn't mature when Elmer was a teenager. His fathe r, John, was in the hospital in Rochester, Minn., and his wife, Anna, w as with him. The children had lots of cabbage, but no money. "So we cut ca bbage, loaded it on the model T pickup truck and hauled it to Seymour. I t hought we would get $10-15 dollars. But we cut it too young and couldn't s ell it. We had to bring it home and feed it to the pigs and cows. We did h ave chickens and eggs, so we got along without the money."
Horses were a big part of the farm operation. John Smith owned 8 or 9, inc luding 2 ponies to ride to round up cattle. Elmer recalled, "We would ju st jump on a horse bareback to get cattle." He felt sorry for the work hor ses "because they worked every day. Their shoulders were sore from the har nesses. We would put pads on their raw shoulders. I was glad when we got t ractors. Even then, my dad, John, kept a few horses because he liked th em so much."
Elmer provided other descriptions of life on the farm of his parents. " In the winter there were the usual chores - feeding and watering animals a nd milking cows. There was a spring on Duck Creek that ran through our far m, a quarter mile from the barn. The spring didn't freeze, so we would cha se the cows down there and watch so they would drink until they were ful l. We did this in the middle of the day. If it was icy, they would bump ea ch other and fall down or simply slip on the ice. We had to push them to s olid ground to get them up. If the weather was bad, each animal h ad to be watered twice daily in the barn. The purpose then was to keep th em alive, not to increase the amount of milk. Of course the silage provid ed moisture because we harvested the corn green in those days. Our silo w as plastered on the inside and out. I think it was built by my grandfath er (Anton Smits). In 1925 or 1926, when Elmer Smith was age 16 or 1 7, water was brought to the barn when a 'pump house' was built next to t he barn."
"Our first car was an 'Overland' and we had it a long time. I'll never for get it, because you could put the top down. Harold and Florian would dri ve like Smiths - fast. We would bounce up and down. I remember one ti me we went over a bump and I got knocked out of breath. The second car w as a 'touring Ford' and the third, a 'model T sedan.' But it didn't ha ve a heater. So when Aunt Della Benson died at Rice Lake, my mother, my br other Earl and sister Berdina nearly froze in minus 18 degree weather. I d rove the whole way; I didn't want to sit still as a passenger." (Elmer Smi th)
There were fun times, too, for the Smith clan. Visiting with relatives a nd neighbors was a favorite activity. Elmer recalled how as kids, "We r an around and played our own games, climbed trees, the usual things whi le the adults talked. Then we got a player piano. It was the craze at t he time. It really got a workout at our house. We also loved to visit rela tives in the city where we would go to a park and play. In Little Chu te we could take a street car to Appleton." Visiting included extended fam ily, such as the Eitings, Foxes, and Husses. Some of the conversation w as enlivened by what had been heard on the party phone line!

Donald Brittnacher, John & Anna's grandson and Elmer Smith's nephew, recal led, "The John Smith home was frequently the center of…weekly get-togethe rs of my aunts, uncles and cousins. A large meal was always served at a ve ry large table in the kitchen. The menu usually consisted of fried chicke n, potatoes, vegetables, pies, cakes, and in the winter when ice was avail able, a rare treat of homemade ice cream. Some times the main dish was por k, beef, rabbit or venison, and I remember the time we had bear meat. My a unts dominated the kitchen with its huge wood burning stove and oven whi le my uncles filled the living room with cigar and cigarette smoke and pol itical and farming chatter…In the summer the men moved their chairs o ut on the large lawn to talk about…farming, the weather, politics or te ll stories. One of the stories…was about the time some of my uncles were a pprehended by a game warden while they were doing a little illegal fishi ng in Duck Creek. Some were able to escape in the darkness, but others we re arrested, appeared in court and were fined."
Don, who was just four years younger than the youngest Smith brother, Rube n, his uncle, also remembered, "The farm house had no indoor plumbing. Dri nking and cooking water was hand pumped from the well in the front yard, a nd washing water came from rain water collected in a cistern in the baseme nt and pumped to the wash room with a hand pump. There was a porch and rai ling around the south and west side of the house. A large detached sh ed on the east side of the house was used to store fire wood for the kitch en stove and also served as a laundry and store room. Next to the shed w as an out-house with its Sears catalog that served as both reading materi al and toilet paper."
Dating and marriage for the Smith "young folks" developed in a pattern, es pecially for the older siblings. The first three children - Adeline, R ay & Earl - married Murphy siblings, Patrick, Stella and Ella Murphy (twin s) who lived on a nearby farm. The next two children, Stella and Edna, mar ried Ed Brittnacher and his cousin, Frank Brittnacher. The following two d aughters, Berdina and Mabel, married cheese makers who worked at a facto ry adjacent to the Smith farm (NW corner of Hwy 55 and Center Valley Rd ). Elmer Smith, next in line married a neighboring farm girl, Dorothy V an Hoof.
In anticipation of their sons needing farm land, John and Anna bought la nd and farms for them to operate - the "Williamson place" across Hwy 55 fr om the Home Place, and three farms farther north on Hwy 55 and anoth er NE of Freedom on Hwy E. This was fortunate since all of the boys and t wo of the girls, Adeline and Berdina, remained in the Freedom area. It w as unfortunate though that Adeline, married to Pat Murphy, died at age 4 3, leaving six children (a twin had died): Rita (Rademacher), John, Floren ce, Laverne (Geurts), Ralph, & Rosemary (Romenesko), age 6

Ray and Stella Smith operated one of these farms three miles north of Free dom on Hwy 55. They had four children: Evelyn (Kerkoff), Eugene, Margar et & Bernadine. Eugene bought this farm and it is where his widow, Mari on (Garvey), still lives. Elmer Smith recalled how his brother Ray would h ave married Stella Murphy earlier, but he didn't have a house to li ve in on the property his parents had purchased. "He had been living in o ne side of a building with his horses in the other half." And there were s nakes! "We found 6 to 7 foot pine snakes crawling out of the building." Ha rdly a fitting dwelling for a new bride. But not a problem for the "rou gh neck" Smith boys. "We would bat them around and play with them."
A half mile north of there, Ruben Smith's widow, Irene (Ambrosius), liv es on another of John's farms that she and Ruben farmed. They had two son s, Jim & Tom. Jim and his wife, Shyla (Van Schindel), and their son, Davi d, and his wife, Gretchen (Guensburg) operate the farm today.
Nick Romenesko, Anna Smith's son and John's stepson, operated a farm on H wy EE, just east of Hwy 55, near Ray and Ruben, but "lost it during the De pression." Nick then developed an egg business. "He made frequent tri ps to Wisconsin to pickup eggs and haul them to Chicago for sale." Ni ck experienced several tragedies in his lifetime. When he was an infant, h is father, Michael, a carpenter, was killed at age 29, when he fell buildi ng a barn in Freedom. Later, Nick's first wife, Lena Liesch Vandenber g, died giving birth to their second child who also died. Their fir st child, Helen, was then taken in by Nick's mother, Anna, and his stepfat her, John.
NE of Freedom on Hwy E, Earl & Ella (Murphy) Smith's heirs still farm the ir home place - first, Gerald and Dorothy (Green) Smith, and now their so n, Randy Smith, and his wife, Nancy (Schuh). Earl and Ella had six childre n: Genevieve (Ziegler), Valeria (Huss) Gerald, Eunice (Romenesko), Mary El len (Kavenaugh) and Michael. In addition to farming Earl owned and operat ed his own construction company that built bridges, culverts and cattle pa sses on state and federal highways in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Earl 's brother, Elmer worked for Earl on these projects and Elmer's wife, Doro thy, cooked for the crew and did "book work" for the company.
The farm that John and Anna owned across Hwy 55 from the Home Place w as sold to Elmer & Dorothy Smith in 1935. They sold it to Elmer's siste r, Berdina and her husband, Joe Konkle, in1943. Joe and Berdina had operat ed a cheese factory on Hwy E near Earl Smith's farm. They had five childre n: Elmer, Viola (Rickert), Urban, Anita (Gerritts), and Vernon. In 1948 th ey sold this farm to the Evers family.
The remainder of the Smith clan also led productive lives. Stella Smith a nd Ed Brittnacher farmed in E. DePere. They had three children: Beatrice ( Rickert), Pearl (Kleuskens) and Merlin, who was killed in a car accide nt at age 25.
Edna Smith and Frank Brittnacher met in Freedom where Frank, a mechanic, o perated a car repair shop (near present video store). Elmer Smith describ ed Frank as a "handy guy." "He did a lot of wiring around our farm, especi ally any motor." It was while repairing a tractor on the Smith farm th at he met Edna. Frank and Edna moved to Appleton. Melvin, their son, stat es that Frank "was in some part of the car business until 1942, either sel ling or repairing. In 1929 he was granted a patent on a Model A Ford oil g auge…. He later worked for the Appleton Machine Co. from where he retir ed in 1957." Edna rented rooms in their home for tourists, salesmen and co nstruction workers. Frank and Edna had four children: Donald, Gordo n, Melvin and Marjorie (Kappell).
Mabel Smith and Herman Schwartz operated their own cheese factory in Dal e, WI, for many years before moving to Appleton and working in the Applet on school district, Mabel as a cook and Herman as a maintenance person. Th ey had one child, Delores (Burton).
Harold Smith trained to be a pilot, but became a mechanic, married Rosal ie Sobiek and worked for Murphy Construction Co. Harold was killed at a ge 37 in 1947 while operating a crane in a gravel pit for them at Bondue l, WI. Rosalie then raised their three children, Jane, 14, Frances, 12 a nd Phyllis, 1, in Freedom before relocating to Green Bay.
Florian Smith also experienced tragedy in the construction business, thou gh not death. His first mishap occurred when operating a half-track cra ne in the sand and gravel pit at NE end of Elmer and Dorothy Smith's far m. He lost half of his left foot when he caught it in an open gear. Flori an went on to work with his nephew, Elmer Konkle, in the construction busi ness and started a quarry on Elmer Smith's farm in 1948-49. Then in 19 52 he was paralyzed for life when struck by a train while driving a grav el truck. He and his wife, Mildred Timmers, raised two children, Patric ia and Jerome, and lived in Freedom at the time.
By this time John and Anna had died. John was troubled with poor health mu ch of his adult life, including bleeding ulcers. He was a hard worker ev en in his old age. Dorothy Smith, his daughter-in-law, used to say that Jo hn was one of the hardest working men in Freedom. She would quote a neighb or, Frank Appleton: "John's like a machine and needs new bearings on ce in a while, so he needed to go to the hospital now and then." In additi on to farming, John also did "custom work," that is "hired himself out" al ong with his threshing machine to other farmers. Elmer Smith recalled h ow his dad was injured on such a job on a farm east of Freedom. "Dad had c rushed ribs and had to stay at that farm until he was healed."Donald Brittnacher, a nephew, recalled, "Grandpa was a hard worker and go od farmer. He liked a cigar and usually received several boxes for Christm as. He had tremendous bunions and relieved his pain by cutting large hol es in all his shoes, even his dress shoes. He was tall, thin and had a lar ge mustache, a real authority figure…. Although he was an old man when I k new him, John would spend all day out in the field cutting grain with t he binder or doing some equally strenuous work."
John Smith worked until the end. While milking cows, he was disabl ed by a stroke and died a few hours later, the day after Christmas, 194 2. He had lived on the same farm all his life, 74 years. John Smith was t he last person whose wake was held in the large farm house that still stan ds on the farm. Bob Smith recalls that his grandfather's body was laid o ut in the house parlor on the Home Place, dressed in the wedding suit of h is son, Elmer. Relatives took turns sitting with the body through the nigh t. Despite the presence of the deceased, this was a fun time for the child ren - there was an abundance of food brought by neighbors and relatives a nd many cousins with whom to play! "We chased each other through the hou se via the two interior stairways, round and round!"
Anna continued to live in an upstairs apartment on the Home Place when t he farm was sold to Elmer and Dorothy Smith. Anna, too, was "good nature d" and a hard worker like her husband, John. She had a large garden and ap ple orchard. Strawberries were her favorite and she had a large patch. Aft er a short illness, Anna Huss Romenesko Smith died in 1948 on Jan.13, a mo nth before her 73 birthday. As with her husband, a funeral Mass and buri al took place at St. Nicholas Church and cemetery, Freedom. 
772 49946    Schommer, Fred “Fritz”Fred “Fritz” Schommer, 87, Appleton, formerly of Little Chute, died Saturd ay, Oct. 8, 2005, at Golden Homes, Town of Grand Chute. He was born May 3 0, 1918, in Little Chute, son of Nicholas and Gertrude Schommer. He marri ed Doris DeLorme and she preceded him in death Feb. 21, 1975.

Mom, God knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for parts of me went with you the day God called you home. I love you, Mom. No matter what, remember that. Love, Christy
Betty, this is our 7:00 prayer: Heavenly Father, please grant us the faith needed for this healing journey. Holy Spirit, show us anything that will block the healing in our lives; teach us to overcome. Cleanse our minds, bodies, and souls to be made whole. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen
I love you Betty…. "I love you more."

AFTERGLOW
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when the day is gone.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.Of happy times, and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.I’d like the tears of those that grieve to dry before the sun.Of happy mem ories that I leave when life is done.

811 51651    On Wednesday, October 19, 2016, Cletus J. Van Treeck, a beautiful, humble man, lost his 3 ½ year battle with bladder cancer. He died at home and then made his last earthly journey to be with his God.
Cletus Joseph Van Treeck was born February 15, 1931 to John and Naomi (Hopfensperger) Van Treeck in the Township of Harrison, Calumet County. He farmed with his dad on the Van Treeck dairy farm as a young man and into the early 1950's. He was drafted into the Army in 1956. He did his basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO and then went to Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA, where he worked on the Nike Missiles. After 6 months, he was brought home due to the health of his father. He then served in the Army Reserves for 6 ½ years. At a Thanksgiving dance in 1960 at the Cinderella Ballroom in Appleton, Cletus met Louise, who became his wife on October 13, 1962. The Van Treeck's farmed the Triangle Dairy Farm until 1988. Clete was the virtuoso of dairy farming. He retired from farming to the Gresham area on beautiful Malone Lake. There, he completely restored a farmette on the lake and found his last calling: woodworker extraordinaire. Cletus had such a generous spirit that he more often than not gave much of his "works of art" to his church, family and friends. He and Louise traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, Virgin Islands and Kenya, Africa as well as all over the United States.
Cletus will be so missed by his beloved wife of 54 years, Louise. Cletus is survived by his five wonderful children: Lynne (special friend, Cathy) Van Treeck, Rebecca (Darren Krzycki) Van Treeck, Kevin Van Treeck, Karen (Corey) Jarchow, Andrea (Craig) Giese; grandchildren, Anthony, Trever, Benjamin, Kaylyn, Mandy, Ellen and Jonah.

816 51818    Leone Catherine (Wolff) Meloen, an easy-going and affable grandmother who loved gardening and crocheting, died at 11:15 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012. She was 101 years old.
Leone was born in Appleton, Wis., on Sept. 26, 1910 - a decade marked by WWI, the first moving assembly lines, the sinking of the Titanic, and progressive change in American society.
During the 1910s, labor unions took on an increasingly important role in the United States, yet Leone worked outside the home only from 1964– 1975 as part of the office cleaning crew for the Aid Association for Lutherans, now part of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
By the end of the decade, more than 1 million Model T automobiles had rolled off the assembly line, yet Leone never learned how to drive. Instead, she enjoyed walking whenever possible and relied on the kindness of family and friends to chauffer her about town.
The 1910s also saw the start of Prohibition. Nevertheless, one of Leone's lifelong pleasures was a daily glass (or two) of wine, her preference being elderberry.
Her favorite color was red, which was evident in the clothes she wore and the numerous pots of red geraniums she grew each year from cuttings she took from the previous year's bounty.
On Nov. 2, 1929, Leone married Edgar A. Meloen (1901-1964) in Waukegan, Ill. Edgar was divorced and had one child from his previous marriage. The couple had met while Edgar, who worked for an Illinois construction firm, was transferred to Appleton to help build a municipal golf course. After the wedding, the couple initially resided in Chicago, but later moved back to Appleton when Edgar was hired to maintain the golf course his firm had built.
After Edgar's death, Leone had just one steady boyfriend, Frank Plach, but declined to marry him despite repeated proposals over their 20-year friendship.
In her later years, Leone moved to New London, Wis., and lived in a duplex alongside her daughter and son-in-law. She valued her independence and never minded living alone, although she loved having company and could spend hours talking to friends and family on the phone. Over the years, she also enjoyed playing cards and socializing with her garden club friends.
Leone is preceded in death by her parents Peter Wolf (1870-1960) and Louisa Grode (1877-1971); step-daughter Betty E. (Matthew) Davis (1922-1987); grandsons Richard Sanderfoot (1962-2000) and Jon Sanderfoot (1956-1972); and great-grandson Timothy Sanderfoot (1974).
Leone is survived by her children Alice (Aloysius) Sanderfoot and Sonny (Marilyn) Meloen; grandchildren Thomas (Jean) Sanderfoot, Donald (Linda) Sanderfoot, Michael (Roseanne) Sanderfoot, Alan (Jennifer) Sanderfoot, Cathy (Kevin) Yerges, Marc (Wilma) Meloen, Melissa (Mike) McChargue, Martha (Kent) Sunderman, Sandra Coenen, Sharon Derus and Robert Derus; great-grandchildren Natalie Taylor (Sean), Erica Sanderfoot, Matthew Sanderfoot, Theresa (Jonathan) Stevens, Carl (Nikki) Sanderfoot, Josh (Clarissa) Fradrich, Jamie Sanderfoot, Katie Sanderfoot, Olivia Sanderfoot, Ivy Leone Sanderfoot, Dale Yerges, Jonathan Yerges, Daniel Meloen, Jeffrey Meloen, and Jason Dolan; and great-great-grandchildren Thomas Sanderfoot-Maloney, Justin Taylor, Anna Stevens, and Elizabeth Sanderfoot.
Visitation will be from 10:00– 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012, at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church (712 South Pearl St., New London, WI 54961). Mass will begin at 11:30 a.m., with a luncheon to follow. Interment will be at Highland Memorial Park (3131 North Richmond St, Appleton, WI) at 2:15 p.m.

Joe and Rosemary founded Suess Electronics in Appleton in 1951. They lived in Appleton until their retirement, moving to a home on a golf course in Florida.
Rosemary was a member of St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Winter Haven and St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Appleton.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
SAMUEL B. CERRO, Defendant-Appellant
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
No. 85-1112
September 19, 1985, Argued - November 4, 1985
Lead opinion by POSNER
909 POSNER, Circuit Judge.

A jury convicted Samuel Cerro of five counts of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and three counts of filing false income tax returns. The judge gave him concurrent 15-year sentences on the first three conspiracy counts and consecutive 15-year sentences on the fourth and fifth conspiracy counts, for a total of 45 years. (Sentences of 3 years on each of the tax counts were made concurrent with the conspiracy sentences.) Cerro had also been charged with being a drug "kingpin," see 21 U.S.C. § 848, a charge that allows the most severe punishment possible under current federal law -- life in prison without possibility of parole, see 21 U.S.C. §§ 848(a), (c), but this charge was dropped before trial on the authority of a dictum in United States. v. Jefferson, 714 F.2d 689, 702 n. 27 (7th Cir. 1983), that a drug conspiracy is not one of the felonies on which conviction of being a kingpin can be based, see 21 U.S.C. § 848(b)(1). The dictum was rejected in 910 United States v. Young, 745 F.2d 733, 750-52 (2d Cir. 1984). See also United States v. Schuster, 769 F.2d 337, 345 (6th Cir. 1985), and cases cited there. Its validity was left open in our recent decision in United States v. Markowski, 772 F.2d 358, 361 n. 1 (7th Cir. 1985), and need not be decided in this case either; the government did not appeal the dismissal of the kingpin count, as it could have done under 18 U.S.C. § 3731.

The principal issue raised by Cerro's appeal is whether the five conspiracies were indeed separate or were instead aspects of a single conspiracy; if the latter, the maximum sentence (apart from the tax counts) is 15 years and Cerro must be resentenced. Each of the alleged conspiracies was between Cerro and one other person, to whom Cerro consigned ("fronted") up to one ounce of cocaine each week for resale to users of cocaine. Each dealer would remit all or part of his retail sales revenues to Cerro, either retaining some of the revenues as compensation for his services or retaining some of the cocaine in lieu of money compensation.

The five dealers were the principal witnesses against Cerro, testifying under grants of immunity. In Count I the dealer was Amato, and the evidence showed that the conspiracy ran from April 1980 to December 1980. The dealer and dates for the other conspiracies were as follows. Count II: Corti, summer or fall of 1978 to November 1980; Count III: Gaulke, March 1977 to the spring of 1979; Count IV: Schnidt, August 31, 1977 to December 8, 1980; Count V: Phillips, fall of 1979 to spring of 1981. Why the district judge imposed concurrent sentences for the first three conspiracies and consecutive ones for the last two is unclear. The fifth conspiracy did end later than the others, but the fourth (August 1977 to December 1980) fell within the overall span of the first three (March 1977 to December 1980).

There was no evidence that any of the dealers knew that Cerro was selling cocaine through other dealers, beyond what might be inferred from the nature and timing of the conspiracies and the facts that all the transactions took place in Madison, Wisconsin, that Amato and Gaulke were brothers-in-law, that Corti "fronted" cocaine to Amato as well as selling cocaine at retail for Cerro, and that Phillips knew that Corti sold cocaine, though there is no indication that he knew that Cerro was Corti's supplier.

More often it is the government that is arguing for a single overarching conspiracy and the defendant for multiple conspiracies, the most recent examples in this court being United States v. Andrus, 775 F.2d 825, slip op. at 20-21 (7th Cir. 1985), and United States v. Towers, 775 F.2d 184, slip op. at 8-9 (7th Cir. 1985). The reasons, in descending order of importance, are that the statements made by a conspirator are admissible against all coconspirators, that multiple conspiracies involving different parties can raise serious problems of misjoinder under Rule 8(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures, see United States v. Velasquez, 772 F.2d 1348, 1352-53 (7th Cir. 1985), and that if a defendant is acquitted on one count of conspiracy and his convictions on other counts are reversed because of an error at the trial, retrial on those counts will be barred on the ground of double jeopardy if they actually charge the same offense as the one of which the defendant was acquitted. Although it might seem that the government would want to charge multiple conspiracies in the hope that the defendant(s) would receive heavier sentences, this is rarely the case. The indictment of a major drug distributor will usually contain multiple substantive counts, for which consecutive sentences can be imposed, as well as conspiracy counts. And consecutive sentences for a substantive drug offense and a conspiracy to commit such an offense are also permissible, see, e.g., United States v. Wylie, 625 F.2d 1371, 1381-82 (9th Cir. 1980); United States v. Cardi, 519 F.2d 309, 315 (7th Cir. 1975); United States v. Espinosa, 771 F.2d 1382, 1402-03 n. 27 (10th Cir. 1985), though infrequent, see Marcus, Conspiracy: 911 The Criminal Agreement in Theory and in Practice, 65 Geo. L.J. 925, 938 (1977).

By a fluke, none of the disadvantages of multiple conspiracies to the government is present here (there is no misjoinder problem because there is only one defendant, so that Rule 8(a), which is more liberal than 8(b), see United States v. Velasquez, supra, 772 F.2d at 1352-53, applies). And since the government unaccountably failed to charge any substantive drug offenses and the "kingpin" count was dismissed, the only possibility for imposing a very long prison term on the defendant was to prove multiple conspiracies. Whether this should be important when the defendant is 59 years old and in exceedingly poor health is not for us to say.

A conspiracy is an agreement; and to be a party to an agreement you must know something of its general scope and objective though not necessarily its details. See id. at 1351; Blumenthal v. United States, 332 U.S. 539, 557, (1947); United States v. Williams, 737 F.2d 594, 614 (7th Cir. 1984); United States v. Andolschek, 142 F.2d 503, 507 (2d Cir. 1944) (L. Hand, J.); cf. Raffles v. Wichelhaus, 2 Hurl. & C. 906, 159 Eng. Rep. 375 (Ex. 1864); Smith v. North Am. Co. for Life & Health Ins., 775 F.2d 777, slip op. at 5 (7th Cir. 1985). You must, of course, at the very least know there is an agreement. So for any of Cerro's dealers to be a party to an overarching conspiracy to distribute cocaine through more than one dealer, the dealer would have to know that Cerro was selling through other dealers. See, e.g., Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750, 755, (1946); United States v. Elam, 678 F.2d 1234, 1245-47 (5th Cir. 1982); United States v. Barnes, 604 F.2d 121, 155 (2d Cir. 1979); United States v. Borelli, 336 F.2d 376, 383 n. 2 (2d Cir. 1964) (Friendly, J.).

The cases sometimes say must know (Borelli, Elam, many others), less frequently must have reason to know (e.g., Barnes). Taken literally the latter formulation would imply something very curious indeed, that a conviction can be upheld without proof beyond a reasonable doubt of an element of the crime (knowledge of the conspiracy). But it should not be taken literally. Although usually in the law to say that someone has "reason to know" something means that he would be negligent in not knowing it, in the present context it means only that knowledge can be inferred from circumstantial evidence. If the facts indicate that the defendant must have known something (the formulation in Borelli), then a jury may be able to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he did know it, especially since the requirement of knowledge is satisfied by proof that the defendant willfully shut his eyes for fear of what he might see if he opened them, United States v. Josefik, 753 F.2d 585, 589 (7th Cir. 1985). This interpretation of "reason to know" is supported by the full text of the passage in the case from which Barnes got the phrase: "if each [defendant retailer] knew, or had reason to know, that other retailers were involved with the Hernandez organization in a broad project for the smuggling, distribution and retail sale of narcotics, and had reason to believe that their own benefits derived from the operation were probably dependent upon the success of the entire venture, the jury could find that each had, in effect, agreed to participate in the over-all scheme." United States v. Baxter, 492 F.2d 150, 158 (9th Cir. 1973) (emphasis added). But the jury would have to find participation beyond a reasonable doubt.

A jury could have found that Cerro's dealers knew there were other dealers if for example Cerro had told the dealers this, if other dealers had told them, if they had observed cocaine dealings between Cerro and other dealers, or if they had seen Cerro with a quantity of cocaine too large to be distributed through one dealer. See, e.g., Blumenthal v. United States, supra, 332 U.S. at 549-59; Note, Federal Treatment of Multiple Conspiracies, 57 Colum. L. Rev. 387, 388-89 (1957). Considering that the dealers had a common 912 supplier, that most of the conspiracies overlapped in time, sometimes by years, that the conspiracies had the same purpose and one common participant, and that Cerro apparently made no effort to insulate any dealer from knowledge of the others, it is highly likely that the dealers did know they were part of a conspiracy involving other dealers. Nevertheless there is no direct evidence of this, nor evidence from which such knowledge could be inferred with the degree of certitude required for a criminal conviction. Even if the relationship among Amato, Corti, and Gaulke could be thought to warrant an inference that they knew of each other's involvement in Cerro's distribution of cocaine -- a proposition doubtful on its face but supported by language in some of the cases cited in the Columbia Law Review Note, supra, at 388 n. 12 -- these were the dealers involved in the first three conspiracy counts, and Cerro received concurrent sentences on those counts. The only link forged between those dealers and Schnidt and Phillips, the dealers involved in the other two counts, was Phillips' testimony that he knew that Corti was a cocaine dealer, and he did not testify that he knew that Corti was a dealer for Cerro.

The failure to prove a single conspiracy is not surprising. It was no part of the government's purpose to show an overarching conspiracy -- quite the contrary -- or to show that the prosecution witnesses were members of such a conspiracy. And while Cerro might have wanted to establish a single conspiracy in order to put a cap on his sentence if he was convicted, he would not have improved his chances for acquittal by exploring the extent of the witnesses' knowledge of each other's dealings on his behalf. Testimony of their knowledge would have strengthened the case against him; testimony of their lack of knowledge would not have weakened it.

But lack of proof that the dealers knew about each other need not be decisive on the question whether Cerro could be punished for multiple conspiracies. It is never right to try to answer a legal question, such as (in this case) whether there was one conspiracy or five conspiracies, without considering the purpose of the question. The purpose here is to decide whether Cerro was given an illegal sentence. For other purposes it would be clear that there were multiple conspiracies. It would be clear for example if any of the dealers had been charged with participating in an overarching conspiracy and the issue was whether the dealer could be convicted; lack of proof of a dealer's knowledge of a conspiracy broader than his own dealings with Cerro would doom any attempt to make such a charge stick.

If on the other hand Cerro had been charged with being the hub of a single conspiracy embracing all five dealers, proof of the dealers' knowledge, though no doubt easy to come by if the government had wanted to explore that knowledge, might conceivably not have been necessary. Suppose, as has become familiar from the literature on espionage, revolution, and terrorism, that the leading members of a clandestine organization seek to minimize the chances of detection by adopting a system of "cut-outs" under which subordinate members know nothing about their superiors, their coordinate members, conceivably even the objects of the organization. See, e.g., Copeland, Without Cloak or Dagger: The Truth About the New Espionage 111-12, 140 (1974); Seth, Anatomy of Spying 97 (1963). It might be possible to argue that the leaders' ability to conduct their operations through completely insulated cells, thereby making those operations more rather than less effective, should not protect the leaders from charges of participation in one large conspiracy rather than a series of petty two-man conspiracies, with all the obstacles to effective prosecution in the run of cases that multiple-conspiracy charges create; that the "hub" of an illegal enterprise can be guilty of conspiracy even if the "spokes" do not have a common rim. Otherwise there is the paradox that "a central figure will be guilty of one conspiracy or of many, depending entirely upon whether he informed each individual with whom he plotted of the others' existence." 913 Developments in the Law, Criminal Conspiracy, 72 Harv. L. Rev. 920, 928 (1959).

Whether the objection that a conspiracy of many requires a multiplicity of knowing conspirators could be surmounted is fortunately not an issue we need decide in this case. Maybe it will never have to be decided. In the type of case we have put each spoke is bound to know, in fact, that he is "participating in a collective venture" of some sort, United States v. Martino, 664 F.2d 860, 876 (2d Cir. 1981), though the government didn't bother to prove that here. It will be rare for none of the spokes to know even the general character of the venture. And one possible solution to the problem of cut-outs (though limited to drug cases), if there really is a problem, is the "kingpin" statute, cited earlier. True, it requires that the kingpin's substantive violations have been committed "in concert with five or more other persons with respect to whom [the kingpin] occupies a position of organizer, a supervisory position, or any other position of management," 21 U.S.C. § 848(b)(2)(A); and the Supreme Court hinted strongly in Jeffers v. United States, 432 U.S. 137, 147-50, (1977), that the words "in concert" imply an agreement. But this requirement might conceivably be satisfied by proof of a separate agreement between the kingpin and each of his underlings. Cf. United States v. Becton, 751 F.2d 250, 254-55 (8th Cir. 1984); United States v. Dickey, 736 F.2d 571, 587 (10th Cir. 1984); United States v. Phillips, 664 F.2d 971, 1012-13 (5th Cir. 1981).

In this case, where the only issue is length of sentence and no one suggests that the defendant was attempting to minimize his fellow conspirators' knowledge of the larger conspiracy, the argument against finding multiple conspiracies is compelling. The government cannot, just by choosing to prove less than it could easily have proved by asking its own witnesses another question -- namely, whether each of the dealers realized he was not alone -- get a defendant punished more severely; cannot, simply by not proving a single conspiracy, obtain punishment more severe than if it had proved one; cannot shift, to a defendant fearful of more severe punishment, the burden of proving how much his coconspirators knew about the conspiracy. The balance of advantages in a conspiracy case is adequately in the prosecutor's favor without his being allowed to gain a sentencing bonus by atomizing a single venture. Maybe for purposes of trial the government can charge as many conspiracies as it wants unless the effect is to confuse the jury. But we do not think the government can get the judge to pile on consecutive sentences by arbitrarily, as in this case, declining to present minimum evidence of what is pretty apparent without evidence, that there really was one conspiracy.

The issue has arisen more commonly when the government, rather than charging multiple conspiracies in the same case (for, as we have said, the government's interests are ordinarily best served by charging a single overarching conspiracy), reindicts a defendant acquitted (or convicted) on another conspiracy charge, and the defendant argues that the conspiracies are one and the same for purposes of double jeopardy. Courts in such cases do not ask just whether the evidence required to establish the defendant's guilt is the same in both cases; that would encourage the prosecution to withhold some of its evidence in the first case. They also ask whether the "conspiracy has been subdivided arbitrarily, resulting in multiple indictments for a single illegal agreement." United States v. Castro, 629 F.2d 456, 461 (7th Cir. 1980); see also United States v. Sinito, 723 F.2d 1250, 1256 (6th Cir. 1983); United States v. Papa, 533 F.2d 815, 820 (2d Cir. 1976). The inference of arbitrary subdivision is particularly strong in this case and persuades us that the government should not be allowed to obtain a sentencing advantage from having failed at trial to explore the dealers' knowledge of the scope of the conspiracy in which each was involved.

Contrary to its usual position in conspiracy cases, the government argues, however, 914 that it could not have charged a single conspiracy, because the dealings between Cerro and each dealer were not "mutually dependent." Many cases do say that mutual dependence must be shown for a course of dealings to be a single conspiracy. See, e.g., United States v. Percival, 756 F.2d 600, 607 (7th Cir. 1985); United States v. Dickey, supra, 736 F.2d at 582; United States v. Abushi, 682 F.2d 1289, 1295 (9th Cir. 1982); United States v. Bertolotti, 529 F.2d 149, 154 (2d Cir. 1975). But as the government well knows, this language is not taken literally. If it were, single conspiracies could not be charged in most cases (which are extraordinarily common) where a wholesaler of illegal drugs deals through more than one dealer, no matter how much each dealer knew about the scope of the operation. As is true of wholesale distribution generally, the viability of wholesale drug trafficking does not depend on the adherence of any single dealer. Lop off one dealer, and the wholesaler can hire another in his place or shift the dealer's allotment of drugs to one or more of his remaining dealers or simply reduce the scale of the drug operation. The dealers are not dependent on each other as a bank robber is dependent on the driver of the getaway car and vice versa. Just as Exxon would not go out of business if it lost one of its retail dealers, so a substantial drug operation would not go out of business because one of its retail dealers left the business.

The expression "mutual dependence" can be taken literally only in cases (and not all of them, either) where the conspirators are different links in the chain of distribution. If the conspiracy is to distribute imported drugs and the sole importer defects, an essential link has been severed. But when the conspirators (all but one) sell in parallel, each is a strand rather than a link, and normally an inessential one; yet conspiracies of this sort are prosecuted all the time, and successfully, too. You can be part of a common enterprise without being indispensable to that enterprise; and a common enterprise for illegal ends is a conspiracy whose inessential as well as essential members are conspirators.

"Mutual support" would be a more accurate description of the cases, which require at most that the various arrangements and transactions alleged to constitute or manifest a single conspiracy contribute to the success of the overall undertaking and in that sense reinforce each other. At any rate, by choosing not to inquire into the dealers' knowledge of Cerro's operation, the government is barred from obtaining a sentencing advantage, since as we have said the facts show that Cerro was the hub of a conspiracy the "spokes" of which probably knew of each other's existence, and which was no more effective or dangerous a conspiracy if, contrary to all the probabilities, they in fact were in the dark and thought, each one, that he was Cerro's only dealer.

The only other question that requires discussion (Cerro's other grounds of appeal being plainly without merit) is whether his conviction should be reversed because the district court improperly curtailed his efforts to impeach the credibility of the dealers, the principal witnesses against him. The pretrial order in this case, which apparently is used routinely by this district judge in criminal cases, requires written notice before the final pretrial conference if either counsel intends to try to present at trial evidence of, among other things, "prior similar acts or any person ([Fed. R. Evid.] 404(b))." Cerro's counsel did not object to the order and did not give the required notice, and at trial the judge forbade him to present some of the evidence regarding the prior crimes of the witnesses with which he hoped to impeach them. The two most important items of evidence that were excluded were that witness Gaulke's insurance-brokerage license had been revoked for fraud and that witness Corti was an extortionist.

Although the district judge must know better than we what his pretrial order means, we find it very hard to understand how it could be read to require that defense counsel give the prosecution written 915 notice of the evidence with which it hopes to undermine the jury's belief in the truth of the testimony of the prosecution witnesses (and thus Cerro's counsel cannot be faulted for having failed to object to the order when it was entered). Rule 404(b), which provides that evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts illuminating a person's character is not admissible in order to prove that he acted in conformity with that character (but allows it to be admitted for other purposes), applies to evidence in chief, not to impeachment evidence. This is apparent from a comparison with Rules 608 and 609, which deal specifically with using evidence of character and of prior crimes to impeach witnesses. See also the Advisory Committee's Note to Rule 608(a).

Whatever the pretrial order means, there is a serious question whether a district judge is empowered to require discovery of impeachment evidence. Pretrial discovery of federal criminal defendants is regulated in detail by Rules 12.1, 12.2, and 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and nothing in any of them suggests that impeachment evidence is discoverable. Rule 16(b)(1)(A) limits compelled disclosure of defense documents to those "which the defendant intends to introduce as evidence in chief at the trial." Rule 16(d), on which the government relies here, regulates the manner rather than objects of discovery from a criminal defendant and is thus irrelevant to our issue. Whether the provision for pretrial conferences made by Rule 17.1 is intended to override the limitation in Rule 16(b)(1)(A) is most doubtful. Nothing in the language or history of the rule suggests that it is, an omission not surprising when we consider that a defendant's interest in being able to conduct a vigorous and effective cross-examination -- an interest central to the right of a criminal defendant under the Sixth Amendment "to be confronted with the witnesses against him," see, e.g., Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 315-16, (1974) -- would be impaired if he had to give a precis of his cross-examination to the prosecution before trial. The effect of the pretrial order, as interpreted by the district judge, is to make the defendant do just that, whenever he plans to use evidence to buttress his cross-examination -- as often he will. For not only does effective cross-examination require that counsel be prepared to prove the falsity of replies to questions intended to undermine the witness's credibility, but independent evidence is usually a more fertile source of impeachment in cross-examination than replies to questions. See McCormick on Evidence 66 and n. 3 (Cleary 3d ed. 1984).

But any error here was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Keeping the revocation of Gaulke's broker's license from the jury could do little harm to the defendant. Given Gaulke's own testimony that he had stolen funds from his employer to pay for cocaine that he bought from Cerro, evidence that his insurance broker's license had been revoked would have been anticlimactic and its exclusion was surely harmless. And similarly with Corti. Evidence that he was an extortionist was excluded, it is true, but Corti admitted having committed perjury (though he said it had been done under duress), and perjury is more relevant to credibility than extortion would be. And remember that the whole premise of Gaulke's and Corti's testimony, as of the testimony of the other three dealers, was that they had sold cocaine illegally. Thus it is not as if the jury could have thought that Gaulke and Corti were anything but what they were: crooks singing for their freedom. Finally, the evidence of Cerro's guilt would have been overwhelming even if Gaulke and Corti had been thoroughly discredited by a mountain of evidence of their prior crimes -- especially once the three conspiracies are recharacterized as one, as we have held they must be.

It is always perilous to speculate on what the effect of evidence improperly admitted was on a jury, or what the effect of evidence improperly excluded would have been. See Teitelbaum, Sutton-Barbere & Johnson, Evaluating the Prejudicial Effect of Evidence: Can Judges Identify the Impact of Improper Evidence 916 on Juries?, 1983 Wis. L. Rev. 1147. The lay mind evaluates evidence differently from the legal mind, and while many appellate judges have substantial experience with juries and perhaps great insight into the thinking process of juries, others do not. This is a reason to be wary about invoking the doctrine of harmless error (on which see, e.g., United States v. Hasting, 461 U.S. 499, 507-12, (1983); 3 LaFave & Israel, Criminal Procedure § 26.6, at pp. 278-81 (1984)) with regard to evidentiary rulings in jury cases.

Most cases of harmless error involve the erroneous admission of evidence favorable to the prosecution. As a practical matter, if the evidence of guilt that was neither erroneously admitted nor tainted by the erroneously admitted evidence is overpowering, and the tainted evidence neither probative nor inflammatory (inflammatory evidence might overbear the judgment of a lay trier of fact), so that the appellate court can safely conclude that the likelihood that the defendant would have been acquitted is very small -- too small to warrant the delays and other costs entailed by ordering a new trial -- the error will be pronounced harmless (harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, if the appellate court is strongly convinced of its conclusion).

Despite some contrary language in Davis v. Alaska, supra, 415 U.S. at 318, the doctrine of harmless error is available not only when the error consists of erroneously admitting evidence but also when it consists of excluding defense evidence in violation of the defendant's constitutional right to confront the witnesses against him. See, e.g., United States ex rel. Nance v. Fairman, 707 F.2d 936, 941-43 (7th Cir. 1983); United States ex rel. Scarpelli v. George, 687 F.2d 1012, 1016 (7th Cir. 1982), and the very full discussion of this issue by Judge Rubin in Carrillo v. Perkins, 723 F.2d 1165, 1170-72 (5th Cir. 1984). The test cannot be identical for the two types of error, however, and this for two reasons. First, the fact that improperly excluded evidence was inflammatory, in the sense of likely to distract and confuse the jury, would hardly be an argument against finding the error harmless; what would be, however, would be that the evidence was of the sort that might properly have carried great weight with the jury, even though the evidence put in by the prosecution was very strong. Second, there is an asymmetry between the prosecutor's being allowed to put in more evidence of guilt than he should have and the defendant's being prevented from putting on a defense. If the defendant were utterly precluded from defending himself, it would be clear that his conviction had to be reversed even if the evidence of guilt was overwhelming and could not have been offset by the evidence that the defendant would have introduced if allowed to do so. The Constitution assures the criminal defendant who wants it of some minimum amount of adversary procedure even if the outcome of the contest is a foregone conclusion. Otherwise the right to trial by jury could be denied on the ground that the outcome of the trial was foreordained and therefore the trial would be a waste of money. See Walberg v. Israel, 766 F.2d 1071, 1074 (7th Cir. 1985).

But we are far from that extreme point in this case. Cerro's defense was impeded, probably improperly, but the impediment was a minor one; the error in keeping from the jury impeachment evidence of a marginal and cumulative nature must be deemed harmless beyond a reasonable doubt in a case such as this where the evidence of guilt was overwhelming and the defendant was allowed to put on a defense, if not quite so complete a defense as he might reasonably have desired. Cases in which error in the curtailment of a criminal defendant's right of effective cross-examination was found not harmless, such as Hoover v. Maryland, 714 F.2d 301, 306-07 (4th Cir. 1983), and United States v. Bates, 617 F.2d 585, 588 (10th Cir. 1980), are readily distinguishable.

So Cerro's convictions must stand, along with the sentences for the tax offenses. But the case must be returned for resentencing 917 on the conspiracy counts in accordance with our conclusion that the defendant cannot be given consecutive sentences on those counts.

Peter Diedrich

Born: 1803, Köln, , Nordrhein-Westfalen, DEU
Marriage (1): Barbara Mayer about 1825 in Köln, , Nordrhein-Westfalen, DEU
Marriage (2): Anna Maria Jung on 17 Jan 1843 in Little Chute, Brown, Wisconsin, USA
Died: May 1870, Kaukauna, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA at age 67

Cause of his death was obstruction of the bowel.

Another name for Peter was John Peter Diedrich.

General Notes:
Diedrich Street.
Peter Diedrich came to Kaukauna from Holland. He acquired the land known in part as the Stovekin addition from a former French Canadian resident by the name of Masaux. His log house was located on the bank of the Fox River just west of where the Wertheimer residence now stands. He operated a ferry across the Fox River at this point. Dying about 1870, he left a number of Sons and daughters. One of his sons was the well known millwright, John P. Diedrich

Gertrude St.
Gertrude Diedrich, the second daughter of Peter Diedrich by his second wife, was born in Kaukauna and lived there all of her life until the time of her death, about 1879.

She married John Stovekin, one of Wisconsin's very early paper manufacturers, who erected a paper mill in Milwaukee in 1862. The mill was wrecked by a flood in the river and was never rebuilt, for Stovekin left that district and came to Kaukauna. About 1865 he built an addition to the flour mill in Kaukauna and installed paper machinery . This mill was afterward taken over by Colonel H. A. Frambach. In 1881 this mill located on the government canal on the site of the present Union Bag and Paper Company, was destroyed by fire. John Stovekin platted the land known as the Stovekin Addition to the City of Kaukauna and named the streets after members of his wife's family.

Margaret St.
Margaret Diedrich was the oldest daughter of Peter Diedrich. She married John Jansen, Sr. and died on July 15, 1886, shortly after her marriage.

Maria St.
Maria Diedrich was the daughter of Peter Diedrich. She remained single and died on July 15, 1869.

Research Notes:
We know the Diedrich family came from Germany but did originate his emigration from the port of Antwerp Belgium which is across the river from Holland. Stovekin is also spelled Stoveken - They seem to be used interchangeably through out newspapers and history books. The streets mentioned: Diedrich, Gertrude, Margaret, Maria are all adjacent near the old train station and run parallel towards the Fox River. The Frambach residence built abt 1880 (John Stoveken's brother) that still stands today (2005) is very near these streets in Kaukauna. The Union Bag and Paper company building is still standing (2005) and is now owned by International Paper Company. It is built out of the stone that was removed from the river during construction. The building is still in use and looks much like it did in 1907 (I have a picture from this date). I also have a picture of the Henry Frambach Home dated about 1900.

I have been working on finding the land that Peter Diedrich owned during 1843. I have found an early survey map of Kaukauna in 1840 and the ferry landing is shown (supposedly Peter operated the ferry) and from information I have found describing the original log cabin building that Peter owned being just west of the 1880 era "Wertheimer" residence. This location directly overlays the ferry landing. I also have found an 1890 Plat map of Kaukauna and found several lots owned by the Diedrich family that matches the same ferry landing area.

The modern street map overlaid onto these old maps show the streets Diedrich, Margaret, Marie, Gertrude, etc. all aligned roughly east and west of the ferry landing and run from the river back about 1 mile. I am reasonably sure this is the original land holdings of Peter Diedrich.

My next step is to see if I can find any deed transfers from that era (this land followed the old French style of deeds). Everyone that I have spoken with dreads any research work on land in this area. I will let you know if I find any other information. I also now believe that the sawmill my GG Grandfather John Stoveken and Henry Hewitt built abt 1864 was built on land originally owned by Peter Diedrich. This mill property was expanded with a flour mill abt 1866 and abt 1868 the first paper mill in Kaukauna (This would have been a year after John Stoveken married Gertrude Diedrich). The same footings are still in use and are owned by the Thilmany Paper Company as an active mill and offices. I also am attaching a picture of the flour/paper mill as it looked abt 1875. This mill burned in Aug 1881 and was rebuilt on the same foundation.

I have found 2 different extensive written accounts of the fire of this flour/paper mill.

The location of the Mill picture that I sent is at 44 Degrees 16'52.25" and 88 deg 15'49.61"

The ferry landing was about 44 Deg 16'57" and 88 Deg 16'15"

The ship canal that this mill is located on was built in 1851 and appears to have been cut through land that Peter Diedrich Owned.

It appears Peter may have had the land between these 2 points along the river. This is now what can be considered downtown Kaukauna.

I need to be in Kaukauna tomorrow for a historical meeting and will try to get a picture of the area at the location of the Ferry landing.

I also found a mention that a Diedrich ran the saw mill at this same location in the late 1870's. This was probably the saw Mill that John Stoveken originally built. (However it did not mention any first name of the Diedrich) It is likely a son of Peter but I am unsure which one. My GG Grandfather Stoveken, his brother Henry and his Brother-in-law John Claspill all lived on Wisconsin Avenue in the 1880's about 1000 feet from the Ferry Landing location.
<=====>
I reviewed the 1850 census and found that one of the immigrants in his "Group" was living in a home adjacent to Peter Diedrich (at least from census sequence information). That was Peter Schumacher ("Shoemaker" in the census)

Others in sequence were Peter Diedrich, George Hawley, George Lawe (George is well documented in numerous historical records and has land on the Plat that I sent, it is land directly East of where Peter Diedrich would have had land). Next was Charles Grignon (this property is also east of Diedrich's land and east of George Lawe, also a well documented biography). The Grignon house is now a museum and has been well researched (this would have been where John Peter was indentured). Next was Henry Hewitt (he started the saw mill with John Stoveken Sr.). Next was Howell Wright (a tavern keeper and founder of Wrightstown and also has numerous mentions in historical documents). In the 1840's and early 1850's there was only one river road. And it appears the census taker traveled from Little Chute along the river to Wrightstown. Based on historical information the surnames in that sequence owned land along the river from west to east.
<=====>
1870 [US Census which lists Peter Diedrich's death] was before the churches in Kaukauna were established and He was probably buried in the old Little Chute Cemetery. This cemetery was later disinterred and moved to the current cemetery location. I suspect that his headstone after removal may have been lost or he was never moved. I am unsure if there are any records of this cemetery move. Stones from those dates are almost all unreadable.
<=====>
The 1870 census list the death of a Peter Diedrich in May of 1870 of inflammation of the bowel at age 58. Peter was born about 1801 and listed on the 1860 census as age 58. In 1870 he would have been 69.

• Occupation, 19 Aug 1842, , , , DEU. Miller


• Occupation: brewer: Kankanlin, Brown, (Kaukauna, Outagamie), Wisconsin, USA. Breweries

"August 4, 1933. Smoke poured forth from the Regenfuss Brewery and the aroma of beer brewing greeting the residents of Desnoyer Street for the first time since the country went dry fourteen years ago. The federal permit authorizing the Regenfuss Company to manufacture beer was granted Tuesday and no time was wasted in getting the plant in operation.

That may have been the opening of Kaukauna's last brewery, but it certainly wasn't the first. The earliest known brewer was Peter Dedrich or Diedrich who came from Holland in 1844 to what would become Kaukauna's near NE side. He lived in a log cabin on the site of the present St. Paul's Home and operated a ferry across the river at that point. In the 1850's he became known as a brewer. Diedrich Street is named for this Dutch pioneer, whose son John became a well-known Kaukauna millwright.

In the mid 1880's Adam Hilz and "Michael Kline" were reportedly Kaukauna brewers. The Klein in question may have been the same Michael Klein who emigrated from Germany in 1842 and settled as an early resident on the south side. Klein Street is named for this German pioneer. The elder Michael Klein, however, was born in 1803 and died in 1888, so it may have been his son Michael who was active as a brewer in the mid-1880's. The Klein family is also notable for their development of the dairy industry in Kaukauna, for platting "Klein's Addition" in South Kaukauna, and for developing Klein Park on the site of present LaFollette Park. (See NRHP nomination, Klein Dairy Farm, 1018 Sullivan Avenue.)

POLITICS PREVIOUS TO 1880
In 1850, L. A. Hine, David Ward and Peter Diedrich were delegates to the Democratic County Convention from Kaukalin. There seemed then to be but three election districts of what is now Outagamie county - Kaukalin, Grand Chute and Lansing. Brown county was a member of the Third Congressional district. At this time the county was part of the First Senate district and was represented by Lemuel Goodell.

This is the Flour and Paper Mill that was built in 1872 - It was rebuilt on the same footings as a wood frame flour/saw mill that John Stoveken owned and burned down in 1871 it was originally built in 1864-1865.
This building then burned in 1881 and again was rebuilt as most of the stone walls survived the fire. The "Foot print" and façade of the building still exists today as part of the Thilmany Paper Mill.
The location of the Mill picture that I sent is at 44 Degrees 16'52.25" and 88 deg 15'49.61" The ferry landing was about44 Deg 16'57" and 88 Deg 16'15" The ship canal that this mill is located on was built in 1851 and appears to have been cut through land that Peter Diedrich Owned
One of the early Newspaper/History book clippings mentioned about a saw mill that Peter Diedrich operated (Obviously before 1870 when Peter died). The attached picture of the Stoveken Paper and Flour mill - called the "Eagle Mill" has a wood structure to the right of the stone structure. The stone construction mill in this photo was built in 1872 which replaced a wooden Flour mill structure that was destroyed by fire in 1871. Based on the research that I have done, this lower wooden building contained the sawmill that John operated in 1865 - 1874 (When this photo was taken) The Flour, Paper and Saw mill's were totally destroyed in 1881 by a massive fire, everything was destroyed except for the stone facade walls which are still in use today. I have a copy of a first hand account of the fire that was published in the Kaukauna Times Newspaper. I do not have a date when the original flour mill and saw mill were built. However we know it was after 1850 as that was when the Canal was built, creating the island that the mill's were built on.

Peter Diedrich, father of our townsman, John P., was unmistakably the first German who came here to locate and make for himself and family a home. He arrived from Germany in 1843 and purchased property from a Frenchman named Mossau, and in about three years thereafter established a distillery on the river bank. This was the first concern of the kind in northern Wisconsin, and was 15x20. Among those who accompanied Mr. Diedrich with their families were: Mr. Hiens, Michael Klean, Mr. Dietzler, Mr. Paulae and ~~~ers.

HISTORICAL KAUKAUNA
Account of the City's Growth and Development -
Continued Discussion of Early Settlements - A Few Pioneers
In the preceding account given by Mr. Lawe quite a broad scope of years is comprehended. This is done to follow the trend of the narrative rather than to offer the same as a history of Kaukauna for that time. During the time, however there came here from various places, a large number of settlers and the reader's attention is asked while some of these, in most cases, ancestors of present day citizens are named.
PIONEERS
"Old Uncle Gardner," as he was familiarly known to all the pioneer settlers throughout the Northwest, came here with the Stockbridge Indians about the year 1828, and after their removal remained, conducting a tavern, where Auntie Gardner was somewhat noted for her excellent cooking and neat housekeeping. He remained here until 1850, when he removed to a new home which he had erected for himself and his good wife below Wrightstown.

In 1836 Jaques Porlier located here, settling on the south side of the river, where the Chicago and Northwestern shops now stand. He died leaving three children, James, Louis and Mary Louise. In the same year the Misses Margaret and Polly Gravelle came here, and settled opposite George Grignon, who had previously become a resident near the combined locks.
Two years later, David P. Meade, father of Mrs. George W. Lawe, Mrs. Charles A. Grignon, and Captain M. J. Meade, came to Kaukauna. He afterwards resided with Mr. Lawe and Mrs. Grignon, until his death in 1837, after a life of honorable usefulness.

The first German to venture to settle in this place was Peter Diedrich. He arrived from Germany in 1843 and purchased property from a Frenchman named Mossau, establishing three years later, a distillery on the bank of the river. The building, the first concern of its kind in northern Wisconsin was 15x20 feet in size. Others arriving here with Mr. Diedrich were Mr. Hiens, Michael Klean, M. Dietzler and Mr. Paula.
Peter Martin came about 1849 or 1850 and built and conducted a hotel on the brow of the hill, a few yards above the sulphur springs.
Joseph Lamure came here from Green Bay, where he had previously settled in the spring of 1839. He was a native of Canada, but of French ancestry. He with his family consisting of a wife and three children, William, Mary and Josephine, located on a portion of 200 acres of land purchased from Daniel Whitney. Joseph Lamure died on December 25, 1869.

In the year 1836, B. H. Beaulieu also arrived from Green Bay. He was originally from Mackinaw.
With his family, Elias Beach came here from New Jersey in 1849, and after stopping at Green Bay with E. Morrow settled on the old military road between Green Bay and Fond du Lac, the only thoroughfare in this section, at that time. For twenty-five years he was postmaster at Dundas, and died in 1883 at the age of 82.
Col. Ebenezer Childs first came here in the capacity of builder of a large frame trading store for Augustine Grignon's in 1829. He Married Mr. Grignon's eldest daughter, and after a year returned to Green Bay to live. An incident is told in connection with Col. Childs, relative to the fact that he was reported dead in St. Louis, in 1855, of cholera. A Green Bay paper published his obituary, but discovering that it was a premature one, forwarded a paper with an apology to Mr. Childs. His reply was curt and characteristic. The colonel stated that the notice and apology were received and accepted, though he knew nothing about it, but that he knew the moment he laid eyes on it, that the report was a lie.
Antone Mossau, a Canadian Frenchman, located here in 1838, preempting the land on the north side of the river, which afterwards came into Mr. Diedrich's possession.
Ira and George Hawley moved here in 1850, with their families, from the east, and erected a sawmill. They did not remain, however.
George W. Kelso Sr., located on a farm about two miles out of town about the year 1848.
In 1851 Outagamie county was organized with six townships. The first board of supervisors assembled and organized in the hostelry of R. P. Edgarton of Appleton, April 18, 1851, and the several chairman were present as follows: Grand Chute, G. M. Robinson; Kaukauna, George W. Lawe; Lansing-afterwards, in 1853, changed to Center: Louis A. Heins; Greenville, L. E. Darling; Hortonia, J. Wakefield. Mr. Robinson was elected chairman at the board, and although the session was brief, considerable important business was transacted, business marking the birth of a new division of the commonwealth.

Kaukauna's first Brewers
began in 1850's
Kaukauna Breweries: A quote from the August 4, 1933 edition of the Kaukauna Times said, "Smoke poured forth from the Regenfuss Brewery and the aroma of beer brewing greeted the resjdents of Desnoyer Street for the first time since the country went dry fourteen years ago. The federal permit authorizing the Regenfuss Company to manufacture beer was granted and no time was wasted in getting the plant in operation..." Now that's dedication! That may have been the opening of Kaukauna's last brewery. but it certainly wasn't the first. The earliest known brewer was Peter Diedrich who came from Holland in 1844 to what would become Kaukauna's north east side. He lived is a log cabin on the site of the present St. Paul's Home and operated a ferry across the river at that point. In the 1850's he became known as a brewer. Diedrich Street is named for this Dutch pioneer, whose son John became a well known Kaukauna millwright.

The Kline family is notable for their development of the dairy industry in Kaukauna, for platting "Klein's Addition" in South Kaukauna, and for developing Klein Park on the site of present LaFollette Park. The Helf family became the primary brewers in Kaukauna in the 1880's and 1890's. Jacob HeIf came to Kaukauna after the first railroad boom of the 1860's, and in 1866 opened a successful brewery on the south side of Kaukauna in partnership with his brother John. By 1895 the Helf Brothers brewery employed six men and three teams of horses, manufacturing its own malt, shipping beer throughout Northeast Wisconsin, and doing a brisk trade in bottled beer. Prohibition brought the brewery business to an official halt, but as was noted earlier, the Regenfuss family planned to start up the north side brewery again in 1933. In that year however, their business was purchased by Arthur Jones and Thomas Oudenhoven, who renamed the plant "The Electric City Brewery."
• Publication: the Combined Locks website http://www.combinedlocks.org/combinedlocks/about+combined+locks/history.asp, 27 Jan 2006, Combined Locks, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA.
This was the scene at present-day Combined Locks when the first white man came to the land called Ouisconsin in the 17th century. The river became the highway for the fur traders and their voyageurs; it was used by the French missionaries the Native Americans named "the Black Robes" and welcomed into their villages. Eventually, the landmark bay on the south shore of the Fox River beckoned to its first settler and got its first name--Garner's Landing.

Roland Garner (or Gardner), according to pioneer records, cleared and worked his farm on the hill in the 1830's and 1840's at the time the French from Canada were establishing homesteads in the present Town of Buchanan. These early fur traders-turned-farmers were Joseph, Charles and William LaMure, the Beaulieus and Porliers.

Then 10 German families plus a few bachelors came to the Landing to settle as a group in 1842. There were the families of John Dietzler, Peter Dietrich, Jacob Pauly, Michael Klein (or Kline), John P Heinz, PH Rausch, JP Schumacher, John Kloepfel, Anton Heuser, and the three young men, Mathias Klein, and John and Jacob Snyder.
... brought to the new country by the Reverend Theodore VandenBroek, missionary priest at La Petite Chute (Little Chute). He had worked among the Menominee people since 1836 and returned to his native land to recruit workers for the building of the canals on the river. He also saw in his journey a chance to offer freedom and the promise of a future to his fellow countrymen with the Fox River Development Company assuming all the expenses of the long journey.
Peter married Barbara Mayer about 1825 in Köln, , Nordrhein-Westfalen, DEU. (Barbara Mayer was born in 1787 in Köln, , Nordrhein-Westfalen, DEU and died between 19 Aug 1842 and 25 Dec 1842 in Green Bay, Brown, Wisconsin, USA .) The cause of her death was scurvy.
Peter next married Anna Maria Jung, daughter of Unknown and Unknown, on 17 Jan 1843 in Little Chute, Brown, Wisconsin, USA.(Anna Maria Jung was born about 1810 in , , , Prussia [DEU] and died in 1875 in Kaukauna, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA.)
Noted events in their marriage were:

• Marriage: at St John Nepomucene Catholic Church, 17 Jan 1843, Little Chute, Brown, Wisconsin, USA.
• Publication: concerning the church altar used for their wedding, 12 Mar 1925, Kaukauna, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA.
AN HISTORIC ALTAR
Isabelle Fox
To a lover of antiquities, the story of a little white altar and its wanderings, may be an interesting one.
When the Fox River Valley was a vast wilderness, the now thriving village of Little Chute was a mere speck on the horizon of civilization, that speck, a wigwam fifteen feet long and six feet high, built by an Indian woman for the Rev. Theodore J. Vanden Brock, a priest of the Order of St. Dominick, who left Holland in the early thirties to do missionary work among the Catholic population and the Indians scattered over the country.

In 1834 he was sent into the wilds of Wisconsin, by the Bishop of Detroit, settling in Little Chute, and thus the Cross was planted in the beautiful Fox River Valley. The wigwam served as church and residence for six months, during which time Father Vanden Brock, wilth the aid of Indians, built a church the timber being secured from the forest along the river bank. The roof was of bark, a split log was used as an altar, the sacred vessels were old treasures, unearthed at Rapids des Peres, having been buried there when the missionary fathers of St. Francis Xavier church, built in 1676 by Charles Alhanel, were massacred and the church burned by Indians.

During 1838 there came to Little Chute Antoine Mosseau and his son-in-law, Ephraim St. Louis and family, natives of Canasda, Marielle, Province of Quebec. Mr. Mosseau, a carriage maker and carpenter by trade, did not like the idea of a split log being used as an altar, and conceived the idea of making for Rev. Vanden Broek and altar and tabernacle, which he fashioned from the beautiful white pine from the forest surrounding the church. With tools brought front his home it was not a difficult matter. The altar and tabernacle, painted white, with gold trimmings and cross, was the pride of Father Vanden Brock's heart during the years he served as priest in Little Chute.
After the death of Rev. Vanden Broek in 1851, a new church was built and the altar was presented to Mrs. St. Louis, daughter of Mr. Mosseau and mother of Rev. Manus St. Louis, who was stationed at Phlox, Wis., where he built a small church, carrying the lumber on his back from a nearby forest for its erection. His parents removed to Phlox from Little Chute taking the altar and tabernacle with them and where it again did service in a mission church. Later when Rev. St. Louis was removed to Green Bay, he took the altar with him, leaving the tabernacle in Phlox, where it is held sacred by the people of the parish. On being transferred from Green Bay to Iron Mountain, Mich., he gave the altar to his sister, Mrs. Alex Grignon, when it was shipped to her at her home near the Combined Locks on the steamer Evelyn. At Mrs. Grignon's death it passed into the hands of her daughter, Mrs. Michael Maher.
After the destruction fire of Holy Cross church in 1916, Mrs. Maher gave the altar to Msgr. P. J. Lochman, pastor, for use in the chapel of the school house during the erection of the present handsome structure, and on its completion the Altar was placed in the chapel of the new church--on the right of the' main altar--a sacred reminder of the hardships endured by the missionaries in the dim and distant past.
Kneeling before this quaint little altar we see in imagination the backwoods church, the priest offer-
• Photograph: (church altar), 30 Apr 2006, Stiles, Oconto, Wisconsin, USA.
Mossau / Manseau, who owned the land in Kaukauna before Peter Diedrich was also, the craftsman who carved the first altar for Father Vandenbroek's church in Little Chute in 1837/1838.

This would have been the Altar at St. John's that Peter Diedrich and Joanna Jung were married. It is also most likely the Altar that John Stoveken Sr. and Gertrude Diedrich were married at in Kaukauna / Little Chute. Probably Scherer / Diedrich as well.
This altar seemed to have been lost after about 1930 after several well documented moves. It appears that a descendant of Manseau who I communicate with may have found the altar in a town called Stiles, WI based on a tip from an individual in Kaukauna who had a recollection of a side altar at Holy Cross being shipped to Stiles. Holy Cross was the last known positive location of the Altar.
It is very probable that the Altar was built on Manseau's property in Kaukauna that was later owned by Peter Diedrich and by John Stoveken.
Another curiosity. John Stoveken Jr and Margaret St. Mitchell were married in Phlox at the time the altar was located in Phlox by Father St. Louis who is the Grandson of Manseau. The world (at least Kaukauna and Northeastern WI) was indeed small in the mid 1800's.
[My only caveat is that the Altar has not been absolutely confirmed as being authentic (But it sure seems to match the appearance)]

H. S. Cooke Has School Deed In His Possession
Is Deed of First Schoolhouse Site in Kaukauna; Dated October 7, 1851

H. S. Cooke of this city has in his possession a highly prized document, a deed of the first schoolhouse site in the City of Kaukauna, which was drawn up on October 7, 1851, between Peter Dedrich and Anna Dedrich, his wife, parties of the first part and School District No. 2, party of the second part.

The deed was registered in the register of deeds office of Outagamie 470 and 471. A Brouillard was register of deeds at the time.
The school site was described as follows in the deed: "Beginning at the north side of the Kaukauna and Little Chute road where the section line between George W. Lawe and Peter Dedrich crosses and running parallel with the road one hundred feet, thence to the right in a north easterly direction at right angles with the road to the section line, thence on the section line to the place of the beginning."
This portion of land was given to the school district "in consideration of the sum of one dollar to them in hand paid and for the further consideration that the district shall build and complete within one year from the date of the deed a schoolhouse on the premises."
The deed was signed by Peter Dedrich and Anna Dedrich. Witnesses were Ira N. Hawley and David L. Meade, the latter justice of the peace.
Although the deed is nearly 100 years old it is well preserved and fully readable.

SSND
Frances Agnes Weber was born October 29, 1925, in Appleton, WI, to John and Caroline Weber. She was the seventh of 14 children. In 1988 she wrote, "Eleven of us are still living in and around the Fox River Valley.
"At one time we lived on a farm of one hundred twenty acres, of which my dad planted eight in carrots. Everyone in the family except myself liked to work in the fields; I chose the house chores and prided myself in cooking and baking. At harvest time, our main task was to get the carrots to the canning factory.
"Because I was afraid of school, I started first grade only at the age of seven. It was not until eighth grade that I really began to think about my vocation."
After finishing eighth grade, she entered the Aspiranture at Longwood Academy, Chicago, IL, and remained there from 1939 until 1941. When Frances entered the candidature, she continued much the same as she had as an aspirant, and after four months was sent to Marinette, WI, for a year and a half, helping and "learning" from the housekeeper there. She recalled that her second year as a candidate prepared her for "those peaceful and happy days to be remembered for a lifetime."
"Knowing how much I liked the work in the kitchen, I was assigned as cook and at times as baker in large communities, the motherhouse on Milwaukee Street and then Mequon for 31 years. Yes, I had my share of ups and downs in religious life," she wrote. "Often I had to learn the hard way, but God provided a Sister from whom I could seek advice. God always took care of the rest. Wherever I could, I tried to bring joy to our large community of 200 to 300 sisters."
Her next assignment was as chief baker at Holy Childhood, Harbor Springs, MI, about which she wrote, "My work has been blessed as I recall the years spent helping feed the Indian children in the boarding school and as I now continue to bake for the children who attend our day school and day care center." It is no wonder that her breads and cookies were treats for all ages, for she prayed that each loaf of bread and each batch of cookies might release souls from purgatory.
When the sisters left Holy Childhood in 1996, Sister Marylene decided to retire at Mount Calvary. Though not responsible for all the baking there, her surprise cookies surely delighted all. In 2005 Sister came to Notre Dame of Elm Grove where she died on June 2, 2008.
– Alice Lechnir, SSND
During her years of ministry, she served as a cook and a baker. Her positions included Our Lady of Lourdes, Marinette, Wisconsin; the SSND Motherhouse at both its Milwaukee and Mequon locations, and Holy Childhood School in Harbor Springs, Michigan. She retired in 1996.
Sister Marylene's ministry locations were:
Motherhouse, Milwaukee, WI - 1945-1959 (Assistant Cook)
Motherhouse, Mequon, WI - 1959-1976 (Baker)
Holy Childhood School, Harbor Springs, MI - 1976-1996 (Assistant Cook and Baker)
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Convent, Mount Calvary, WI - 1996-2001 (Retired)
Havenwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Milwaukee, WI - 2001-2005
Notre Dame of Elm Grove, Elm Grove, WI - 2005-present

LaVerne was a lifelong resident of Kaukauna and member of Holy Cross Parish. She was an active community volunteer and entrepreneur, but her greatest pride was her family. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren.
LaVerne was the oldest daughter in a family of fourteen children. She was very proud to complete high school even though she had many responsibilities helping out at home with her siblings.

LaVerne knitted hundreds of pairs of "grandma mittens" which she gave to family and to many community organizations.
A true entrepreneur, LaVerne started several tax preparation businesses. Along with Doug Bennett, LaVerne founded the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP), an organization that still thrives today. She taught tax seminars to tax preparers in all 50 states and London, England. She was a proud Enrolled Agent and served on national IRS committees in Washington D.C.
Family was everything to LaVerne. We are blessed to have been guided by her example. She taught us to work hard, appreciate education, and love fiercely.

861 53546    Tanner Joseph Henschel, age 15, of Winneconne, went to heaven on Tuesday, August 2, 2016. He was born January 10, 2001, in Appleton at St. Elizabeth Hospital to Michael and Donna (Fritsch) Henschel. Tanner would have been a sophomore at Winneconne High School, where he was on the baseball and wrestling teams. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, and snowboarding. Tanner had a passion for the outdoors, whether it was fishing with his uncles or hunting with his dad and brother Ryan. Tanner enjoyed shopping with his mother and sister Danielle; he had a passion for fashion. Tanner loved lots of color, which showed in his collection of bright shirts, socks, and Nike tennis shoes. He also felt a sense of belonging when he was hanging out with the older boys at school or just mingling with other friends and relatives. He never had a problem talking to anyone, and it showed through his "charisma" and big smile. Tanner was also "Mom's little chef" in the kitchen and "Dad's mechanic" in the shop. Whether it was building a hunting stand or fixing a computer, he knew how to do it all. Tanner was so talented in so many ways, it just came natural to him.
Tanner is survived by his parents, Mike and Donna Henschel; a brother, Ryan Henschel (special friend, Kayci); a sister, Danielle Henschel; grandmother, Vera Henschel; uncles and aunts, Gary (Gail) Henschel, Darlene (Steve) Boegh, Rodney (Sue) Henschel, Tom (Patti) Henschel, Cheryl (Tom) McCutcheon, James (Kara) Henschel, John Henschel, Jean Hamilton, Ken (Mary) Fritsch, John (Beth) Fritsch, Paul (Susie) Fritsch; twenty-nine first cousins; and many other relatives and friends.
Preceding Tanner in death were grandparents, Marlyn and Marilyn Henschel, Leo and Betty Fritsch, and Aunt Debbie Fritsch.
His love for his dog's Riley and Bella was unforgiving.
Tanner, a big part of me is gone forever. Until we meet again. I love you and miss you so much… Love, Danielle

865 53673    Michael (Mike) L. Tobin, age 65, took on a short unbelievable fight with pancreatic cancer. On the evening of July 5, 2016 the battle ended; he found his restful peace while surrounded by his family who he loved so faithfully and completely.
Mike was the son of Lyle M. Tobin and Evelyn M. (Schidler, Tobin) Harper. He was born on July 23, 1950 in John Day, Oregon, then moved to Wisconsin at a very young age where he has lived ever since.
He was married to Ruth (Nachtwey), whom he cherished with all his heart, on March 22, 1969 at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Neenah. Together they have two children, son, Michael (Mike) and daughter-in-law Katherine (Katie) (Van Gomple) Tobin and daughter Angela (Angie) Tobin. His grandson, Tyler Tobin, brought complete joy and fun into Mike's life, a sparkle to his eyes and a smile to his face. He loved being Papa.
Mike worked at US Paper (US Sonoco) in Menasha until the time of his retirement in March of 2011. He was a hard working man either while driving his tow motor or as Shipping Coordinator. He was well liked and respected by his co-workers and a personal friend to many of them.
He enjoyed the camaraderie of a round of golf with friends or family. He was also an avid Packer and Brewer fan, who more than once felt the need to throw a Nerf brick at the television or do some armchair coaching! He also enjoyed watching NASCAR and stockcar races from that same armchair. A lively game of Sheepshead (aka "Leaster") was a frequent pass time where he won….or lost….. his share of shiny nickels.
He loved to take jaunts with Ruth to places near and far. No matter if it was a few hours, a few days or a week, he would find places that sounded interesting and go check them out. He was smart and inquisitive. In between everything else, Mike would readily help anyone who needed a hand in any way he could. He shared time and talent freely, never having a negative comment about anyone.
Mike was a caring , gentle and loving man. He was content and fulfilled with the pleasures his family afforded him. More than once he said, "I don't need anything; I have everything I want." What a huge tribute to his family with those words.
He was preceded in death by his parents, an infant sister, and father-in-law and mother-in- law, Paul and Angeline (Van Vonderen) Nachtwey.
Besides his wife, children and grandson, he leaves three brothers; Bill (Diane), Pat (Rella) both of Neenah, Henry of Appleton and a sister Helen (Mike) Berens of Appleton, two brothers-in-law, Donald (Jeanne) Nachtwey , Bend, OR, Jerry (JoAnn) Nachtwey, Kaukauna, and a sister-in-law Dorothy (Russ) Gerritts, Appleton, as well as many nieces and nephews.

The family will have a celebration of Mike's life on September 3, 2016 at O'Hauser Park, 1986 Oleary Rd. Neenah from 11:00-4:00 p.m. where family and friends can gather together to share thoughts, experiences, stories, touching times and humorous moments. He loved living his life, so it will be a happy occasion to see all of you and to hear your shared experiences on that day. Smile when you think of Mike; you know he would be smiling right back at you.
A special thank-you is extended to Dr. Wagner, and both sides of the family for their care and their support for Mike throughout this difficult time. An extra special thank you goes out to Mikes sweethearts; Peggy, Nancy and Diane.
In lieu of flowers, words of sympathy and encouragement can be sent directly to the Tobin family.

From: jean.ensch@ci.rech.luJay, I am writing an article on emigration from Canach and Lenningen, Luxe mbourg, to the United States. The last weeks I have been posting queri es on the Rootsweb and Genforum queries websites, in order to find out wh at happened to the people after they had left.I'm glad to hear that you have some information on the Gevelingers.One of the problems I encountered is finding the ling between Frank Geveli nger, Sherwood, andAlphonse Gevelinger from Mineral Point. In this matter I posted a rep ly on Rootsweb:"I supposed a direct kinship relation existed between Frank and Alphons e, as it was a letterinitialed F:G, written from Sherwood to the Dubuque newspaper "Luxemburg er Gazette" that announced the marriage of Alphonse Gevelinger and Anna Ki effer in Mineral Point. It was also stated that thecouple made a honeymoon trip to Sherwood and Appleton to visit with relati ves. Here is the complete
account from the Gazette:
"Luxemburger Gazette 3.3.1908 page. 5Aus Sherwood, Wis., schreibt F.G. : Werthe Redaktio n! Am 11. Februar wurde HerrAlphonse Gewelinger mit Frl Anna Kieffer, in der St. Marien-Kirche zu Mine ral Point, Wis., ehelichgetraut. Tags darauf machten sie eine Hochzeitsreise nach Sherwood und App leton, um ihre Verwandtenzu besuchen. Herr und Frau Alphonse Gewelinger sind bestbekannte luxemburg er Leut und sie werden ihrkünftiges Heim in Mineral Point aufschlagen. Wir wünschen denselben viel G lück zum Bunde!"If, as your family tradition has it, Alphonse came directly from Luxembou rg to the US, we would notbe a descendants of Francis but a nephew. If you have a birth date of Alph onse Gewvelinger I could
try to locate his birth record in Lenningen.Frank Gevelinger, by the way was born 14 June 1824 in Lenningen. He marri ed 15 Dec 1858 in LenningenMargaret, a native of Trintange, Luxembourg. A notary record from 1883 ind icated that he was living
in Sherwood."Frank Gevelinger also had a poem in German published in the Luxemburger Ga zette. Its artistic valuemay be arguable, but it definitely shows the love for his home country and /or his home sickness. If
you are interested I can mail it to you.

879 54189    Reminiscences of a Pioneer Missionary By Rev. Chrysostom Verwyst Wisconsin Historical Society Founded 1849 The State Historical Society of Wisconsin Separate No. 173 From the Proceedings of the Society for 1916

I was born November 23, 1841 in the land of windmills, dikes, and wooden shoes, in Uden, a town of North Brabant, Holland. My parents migrated to the United States in 1848, and of my life in Holland I remember almost nothing.

The occasion of our removal to the United States was as follows: Rev. Theodore Van den Broek [Note: Rev. Theodore J. Van de Broek, after officiating for the whites at Green Bay from 1834 to 1837, established in the latter year his mission for the Menominee at Little Chute on Fox River. The Indians built a wigwam for him and then a log church twenty-two by thirty feet, roofed with bark. Later the church was covered with boards, and about 1844 a schoolhouse was built. After the removal of the Menominee to their reservation in Shawano County, the mission buildings were used by the whites. See letters of the Father Van den Broek in Wisconsin Historical Collections, XIV, 192, 196-205.], a Dominican priest, had come from Holland to this country in 1832 and had resided for a time in a house of his order, St. Rose, near Springfield, Washington County, Kentucky. In 1834 he removed to Green Bay where a brother Dominican, Father Mazzuchelli [Note: For a sketch of Father Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli see ibid., 155-61. His Memoir (Chicago, 1915) has been translated and published in book form.], had been working among the whites and the Indians. Thereafter the two Fathers labored along the shores of Green Bay, sometimes separately, sometimes together. Father Van den Broek was stationed at Little Chute and along the upper Fox River until his death at Little Chute in 1851. In 1847 he returned to Holland on some family mission, and his description of the cheap and good lands to be had in Wisconsin induced many of the people of North Brabant, among them my father, to migrate thither. Accompanied by Father Van den Broek and by Father Goddard, a Franciscan, they set sail in three ships [Note: The three ships were named, respectively, Mary Magdalena, Liberia, and American.], two of which landed at New York and the third at Boston.

On the latter ship my father had embarked. We were fifty-five days on the ocean but the voyage was a prosperous one and none of the passengers died at sea. On reaching America Father Van den Broek returned to the scene of his labors at Little Chute, while Father Goddard went with a number of his countrymen to Hollandtown, Brown County. This settlement was originally called "Franciscus Bush" [Note: The settlement is still known as Franciscus Bosch.] in honor of the patron saint of the church. On the arrival of our ship at Boston most of our fellow passengers went immediately to the West, but our family and another by the name of Verkampen were obliged, through lack of means to travel farther, to stay in Boston. It was in the month of May and we therefore made our living at first by going into the woods, to Dorchester and other places near Roxbury, and picking blueberries, blackberries, and huckleberries, and cutting water cresses.

Soon after our arrival a laughable adventure happened to our neighbor, Verkampen. Rooms had been engaged for the two families together, the Verkampens occupying those in front of the building and our family those in the rear. One night the owner came with a German boy who acted as interpreter and told Verkampen we would have to vacate the premises immediately. When Verkampen at length comprehended the demand thus made upon him he seized an ax and made for the proprietor with the intention of scaring him away. The latter promptly beat a hasty retreat, but shortly afterwards Verkampen was arrested and lodged in jail. His poor wife was disconsolate. "Scarcely in America and my man in jail," she lamented. Verkampen, however, urged her not to feel worried. He was getting plenty to eat, more than he had ever enjoyed in Holland, and was living, he wrote, "like a prince in a palace." A few days after his arrest many of the townsmen celebrated the Fourth of July by imbibing too freely of liquor, and as a result were landed in jail. Verkampen, who had a bottomless stomach, ate not only his own rations but also those of the drunken fellows incarcerated with him. For the first time in all his life, probably, he enjoyed a full meal. A day or two after the Fourth the prisoners were brought to trial. Verkampen, who was defended by a German lawyer, was dismissed since it was shown that the owner of the building had had no right to attempt to eject us in the middle of the night and that Verkampen had intended only to scare him away and not to kill him.

We soon removed to East Boston where my Father and my oldest brother engaged in the cooper trade. About the year 1850 we moved to Roxbury where they obtained employment in a rope factory. I have omitted to mention, I find, that prior to 1850 Father and my two brothers, Martin and John, went to Vermont to work on a railroad, and there John died. Thereupon my Father and my brother Martin returned to Boston or East Boston. We two boys--both of us still alive (1916)--attended the German Catholic school in Boston.

Finally, in the early spring of 1855, our family migrated to Wisconsin. We left Boston in pleasant spring weather but when the train reached Rutland, Vermont, the same evening it was snowing and when we arrived at Albany it was raining. In the depot at Albany there was posted in a conspicuous place a large placard warning travelers against "thieves, pickpockets, and confidence men." The notice appeared somewhat strange to us but to our cost we found out that it was not uncalled for. Father engaged a man to convey our baggage to another depot, paying him in advance. When we arrived at the depot he refused to surrender our belongings unless we again paid him. In vain Father protested. Finally, he appealed to a policeman, and that worthy representative of law and order declared that Father had had no right to prepay the baggage man; so he was compelled to pay the bill a second time. From Albany we went by way of Niagara Falls, where we passed over into Canada, to Detroit. The train moved very slowly, and it took us many days--how many I do not now remember--to reach Chicago. That city left a decidedly dismal impression on my boyish mind. It certainly did not look neat and clean like Boston. From Chicago we took a steamboat, which brought us to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Here mother and we two boys tarried for over a week while Father and my oldest brother started out in quest of land. Finally, they returned and we hired a conveyance to bring us and our baggage to Fond du Lac. On the way a man ran against our wagon; the two drivers became very angry, each blaming the other for the collision, and nearly came to blows. We dined at Green Bush [Note: Greenbush is a town in western Sheboygan County. The first cabin was built there in 1844; the village platted in 1848, and became a station on the plank road between Sheboygan and Fond du Lac.] and arrived late that evening at Fond du Lac. The next morning we took a small steamer on Lake Winnebago, which brought us to Menasha. From there we took a wagon and through mud, stones, and deep holes on the road we finally came to Hollandtown in Brown County. Father bought sixty acres of land from a man named Stephen Fink, and we started to erect a cabin of unhewn logs, the neighbors helping at the raising. The house had no floor but there was a wretched wooden chimney, which at times smoked fearfully. I cold weather the occupants would be too warm in front while their backs were almost freezing. Luckily for us we carried a floor about with us in the shape of wooden shoes made of poplar. My brother, Cornelius, and myself worked hard all winter with Father cutting down hardwood and other trees and chopping them into logs about sixteen feet long. We tacked a piece of old cloth to our wooden shoes and tied strings together around our legs below the knees to prevent the snow from falling into our shoes. In this way we kept our feet dry and warm, better in fact, than we could have done with leather boots.

In the spring father would split fence rails, at which work we boys faithfully assisted him. After the clearing had been fenced, having neither horses nor oxen to plow the ground, we made potato hills and planted corn and potatoes, doing the work with heavy grub hoes. There was a clearing of about seven acres when we bought the land of which one-half was meadowland. We had to work like beavers all the year round and our only leisure was on Sunday afternoons, when we were allowed to visit the neighbor boys. At the end of four years of such toil we had thirty acres cleared, on which we raised wheat, rye, barley, potatoes, beans, and other vegetables.

In Hollandtown, where a stately brick church now stands, prior to 1855 a small church had been built. A priest used to visit our settlement about once a month, the good man being obliged to walk all the way from Little Chute, a distance of about fifteen miles, over most horrible roads. Every Sunday we had religious services. As the church had neither steeple nor bell the blowing of a horn announced the time for religious services. An old man named Van der Hey used to give out the prayers and read a short sermon. The men and boys sat on one side of the church and the women and girls on the other. The women used to wear those queer Holland-fashioned dresses and some had gold earnings. Nearly all of them came to church in their wooden shoes. A man named Verhulst was doorkeeper and woe to the luckless canine that happened to get into the church. Verhulst would grab him in his giant hands and drag him out of the church, the poor dog howling loudly. Once outdoors Verhulst would swing the dog in a circle and hit him against the church, the animal meanwhile is howling for mercy. When finally released the unfortunate dog would take care to avoid the vicinity of the church in future. Of course such proceedings did not serve to increase the gravity and attentive devotion of the youngsters.

Whenever the Father came from Little Chute there was always a great rush to get to him first to make one's confession. I think if any of our non-Catholic people had been present on such an occasion and had seen how we fairly raced to get to the priest first, they would have concluded that confession after all is not so difficult an ordeal as some of those outside the church have imagined it to be. I will now give the names of some of the people I recall who were at Hollandtown and its vicinity in the period from 1855 to 1860: Van den Berg, Verkuilen, Kobussen, Verhulst, Van den Loop, Ballard, Beach, Fink, Eittings, Verkamp, Van der Jagt, Loftus, Curtin, Malloy, Glachine, Sievers, Kersten, Rolf, Kordsmeier, de Bruin, School, Hoevenaar, Tillemans, Van Aerts, Hintermeister; besides these there were many others whose names I cannot now remember.

My countrymen used to have an occasional jollification. There was, for instance, the carnival entertainment just before Lenten fast. After mass was over they would betake themselves to the home of Mr. Van den Berg. The house was a large building for those primitive days, and there they would dance--the younger generation, of course--all day till sundown, when all would go home. Night dancing was never carried on, and I believe the present generation religiously follows this custom of their grandparents; that is, they dance only during the day, and every decent woman and girl is supposed to be at home before dark.

Our people also had a guild, that is, a certain kind of society at the head of which were a king and a queen for the year. On an appointed day all the members would meet at the chosen rendezvous to shoot down the wooden bird, made every tough material, placed at the top of a high pole like a flagstaff. Sometimes it took much shooting to bring down the last piece of the wooden bird, whereupon the lucky marksman would be proclaimed king, with the privilege of choosing a queen and getting a large silver heart made which he was to wear during the year as a token of his royal dignity. Of course innocent day dancing and other jollification were indulged in by the younger generation on this great day.

Occasionally we heard of a fight, or of some poor fellow becoming tipsy, but nothing more serious than that occurred. There was universal good will among all and towards all. Our neighbors lived the simple life of hardworking, religious, God-fearing people. From time to time they gathered on Sunday afternoon at the house of some neighbor, where the men played cards and took an occasional drink from a jug of liquor; the women, meantime, sipped their tea or coffee and chatted over household affairs and current news; while the boys found amusement in innocent games. Such entertainments fostered friendly neighborly feelings and promoted good will in the community. Indeed, in the four years I spent on the farm from 1855--60 I do not recall a single instance of a man or woman being arrested for disorderly conduct.

At house raisings and marriage feasts there would be some liquor consumed and all kinds of fun indulged in, but all with a neighborly feeling and not for the mere indulgence of drinking. When I recall my boyhood days in Wisconsin sixty or more years ago, I feel a certain regret that they are gone, never to return. It seems to me that people are now becoming too civilized, and their life is too artificial and filled with too much sham.

In those days bears, deer, raccoons, and wild pigeons abounded. In some years pigeons could be seen on the ground and in the air by millions, but alas! Man's greed has exterminated thee wild pigeons. Year by year they become scarcer until now I believe there is not a single one in the whole length and breadth of the United States We have exterminated the pigeon as we have exterminated the buffalo, and as we are fast exterminating the deer, elk, whitefish, and lake trout. The white man's philosophy seems to be summed up in Mark Twain's observation when told that we should provide for posterity: "Provide for posterity! Do something for posterity! What has posterity done for us?" In those days bears were plentiful and occasionally they paid unwelcome visits to the farmers' cornfields and pigpens. They were fond of pork and would often catch a squealing pig and make away with him to the woods to enjoy a hearty meal.

One day--it was on a Sunday and the people had all gone to church--a big bear invaded the precincts of Mrs. Van der Heide of Hollandtown. Hearing the squeals of one of her pigs, Mrs. Van der Heide rushed out of the house and saw a bear trying to carry one of them away. The animal was attempting to pull the struggling porker over a rail fence. In this he failed, however, for Mrs. Van der Heide, forgetting all fear, grabbed the hind feet of the pig and pulled with might and main while the bear, growling fiercely on the other side of the fence, did likewise. It was a pitched battle between the undaunted woman and the bear for the ownership of the pig, but at length the woman won. She told her little boy to take a stick and hit the bear on his hind legs. The bear growled fiercely but had to give up. Mrs. Van der Heide save pig, but the animal had to be butchered as it was so badly lacerated by the teeth of the bear. Everyone wondered at the courage of the woman and that the bear did not attack her. Let her name be immortalized in the annals of Wisconsin!

Occasionally an Indian would pay us a visit, although I never saw one in the village itself. The neighbors advised us not to give them anything when they came to beg for something to eat, for if we once gave them food they would come again and again. I considered their well-meant advice heartless. Mother, too, pitied the poor people when they would come asking for something to eat. I remember perfectly one occasion when she gave a hungry Indian a whole loaf of bread. He asked for a knife and cut off a slice two or more inches thick to eat immediately. One time the Father in Little Chute had several guests at table, among them an Indian. When the meat was passed to the latter he emptied the whole dish into his bag thinking that it now belonged to him. The other guests were not particularly pleased with the procedure, but the thing was done, and they had to make out their dinner as best they could.

Another time mother had made some homemade beer, which consisted of hops, water, and molasses boiled in the wash boiler. This time the brew proved to be a failure. We had some neighbors as guests on Sunday afternoon, and some of this homemade product was served them, but very little of it was drunk for it was fearfully bitter. An Indian happened to come along, and mother offered him some of it, but after taking some of it in his mouth he spat it out. Mother afterwards threw away the remainder of the beer. Next day I was working, planting or hoeing potatoes near a creek that ran through our land. Suddenly I heard mother screaming at the top of her voice, I ran up to the house to see what was the matter. On reaching it I found four Indians on horseback who said they had come to drink beer of which their comrade--the Indian of yesterday--had told them. We explained to them that we had thrown it all away because it was not good. Father, who was working near by for a neighbor, hearing mother's loud call came running with pitchfork intent on defending his wife and children, but luckily he was not needed, the Indians laughing good-naturedly at the poor man's simplicity in thinking to fight four Indians with a pitchfork.

A neighbor of ours, a distant relative, Martin School by name, lived some three miles away in a deep valley, or rather ravine through which a creek ran. One night he heard some noise near the creek and thinking it was a deer coming to drink he tried to shoot it. His gun, which was one of the old, fashioned kind, failed to go off, and so he went back in the dark to his house to fix it. In a moment in rushed an Indian in a terrible rage, exclaiming: "You want to shoot Indian! Shoot Indian!" The Poor man tried to make the Indian understand that he was very near-sighted and that he had thought it was a deer drinking at the creek. Gradually the Indian comprehended his explanation, which was given more by signs and motions than by words. The red man's anger gradually died away but he insisted on having a dance then and there. Probably he had imbibed too much firewater somewhere. So School had to do the singing and clapping with his hands to keep time, while the Indian danced around on the floor until finally he became tired and departed.

On one occasion in the wintertime my oldest brother, Martin, who used to work every winter in the pineries near Green Bay to help support the family, was walking along when he came upon a drunken Indian. The latter insisted on dancing with him immediately. Martin had never danced in all his life and, in fact, knew no more about dancing than the man in the moon, but dance he must, for the Indian demanded it and to refuse might cost him his life. So the two jumped around it the snow on the road, yelling as loudly as they could to keep time and moving about like two inmates of a lunatic asylum My brother began to get tired of this strenuous exercise, but he dared not stop for fear of the Indian's gun. At length the Indian suddenly started off and Martin gladly took the opposite route.

The roads in those primitive days were generally poor, often in miserable condition. The only good one I knew of was the military Road from Fond du Lac to Green Bay. It was a plank road from the county line between Calumet and Brown counties to Green Bay, a distance of about twenty-four miles. The south end of the road--not planked through Calumet County to Fond du Lac-- was fairly good, considering the general condition of Wisconsin roads in those days, but it was very poor when compared with the public roads of the present time. Two or three times in my boyhood days I went to Green Bay on this plank road; the first time with my father about the year 1857. My brother had earned a little over $200 in the pinery north of Green Bay, but instead of the cash had received only a note, or check, for his pay. He had left the check with Timothy Howe [Note: Timothy Otis Howe, who was born in Maine in 1816, came to Wisconsin in 1845 and opened a law office at Green Bay. He was circuit judge from 1850 to 1855, when he resigned and retired to private practice until his election in 1861 to the United States Senate. He was twice reelected and was tendered the positions of chief justice of the United States and of minister to England, both of which he declined. In 1881 he was appointed postmaster-general and while an incumbent of that office died, Mar. 25, 1883.] in Green Bay for collection. I went along with father to act as interpreter on this occasion; but we made a long journey of some fifty miles going and returning for nothing. Ever since then I have felt rather unkindly toward lawyers. The second occasion was about a year later when I went to call Martin Van den Broek, then working in Green Bay, to the funeral of his father. The latter had died from the effects of partaking too freely of ice-cold water while assisting in haymaking at Ballard's farm. On this occasion I walked continuously for twenty-four hours, going to Green Bay in the daytime and returning to Hollandtown the ensuing night, a total distance of about fifty miles.

The most wretched road I remember was the one from Hollandtown to Kaukauna, or Kaukaulo, as it was then called. This road followed no particular town or section line but zigzagged through the woods. There were innumerable mud holes; each one apparently worse than the rest, and no attempt had been made to improve the road. It struck the river bottom not far from Beaulieu's Mill and then continued up the river to the dam, above which people would cross the river to the village of Kaukaulo. This consisted of some half a dozen houses in addition to a stroke kept by Hunt. On the south side of the river there were in 1855 only two settlers; one was Beaulieu, an Indian, or half-breed, who had a small farm and a gristmill [Note: Paul H. Beaulieu settled on the south side of Fox River in 1835 and purchased the mill that had been erected by the government for the Stockbridge Indians. He died at Kaukauna in 1850. His son Bazil was a partner in the mill, and in 1842 first clerk of the town of Kaukauna. In 1871 the Beaulieu property was sold for a paper-mill site, and in 1878 Bazil removed to White Earth, Minn., where he died in 1894.]; the other was Sanders, a Dutchman, who had a large farm across the river from Hunt's store.

One time a Dutchman named Jan den Dickken (John the Thick, John the Fat) wanted to buy some pork at Hunt's store. Someone had told him he should ask for pig's pork. When he told Hunt what he wanted, the latter did not understand him. Finally, thinking that John wanted to buy a pitchfork, he brought some samples of the latter article for him to choose from. "No, No! Pick pork!" replied John the Fat. Luckily a pig chanced to run by the door, whereupon John pointed at it, at the same time making a motion with his knife as if he wanted to cut off a piece. Thus assisted Hunt at length comprehended the fat Dutchman's request.

In those days it was sometimes difficult to obtain provisions. For some time our nearest store was Hunt's at Kaukauna, eight or nine miles away. After some years Bertus Van den Berg opened a store at Hollandtown, and then we were no longer compelled to travel through mud and slush to Kaukauna to procure the necessaries and conveniences of life. Before our arrival at Hollandtown things had been still worse. Some of the settlers actually had to carry sacks of flour on their backs all the way from Green Bay to Hollandtown, a distance of about twenty-four miles. I remember vividly an incident of my own boyhood days. Father and I carried a sack of grain, either wheat or rye, I have forgotten which, on our backs to Beaulieu's gristmill about a mile or so below the dam opposite Hunt's store. It was a trip of some sixteen miles going and coming, over horrible roads. We were compelled to make this trip three times before we got our grains ground.

After a time things grew more convenient. In the wintertime farmers near Fond du Lac used to take loads of flour to Green Bay, a distance of about sixty-five miles. Of course they would gladly sell their whole load somewhere on the way if they could fine a buyer. John Kobussen, our rich neighbor, occasionally bought one or more loads of flour and then disposed of it to his neighbors.

There was a stopping place at Dundas, about one mile from our place, kept by an enterprising American named Beach, the father of a large family of boys. He kept the post office and had a large, well-cultivated farm. At his place most of the travelers and flour sellers were in the habit of stopping. He was about twenty-five years ahead of his surrounding neighbors with respect to his buildings and other improvements. On one occasion a Hollander asked Beach to give him the post-office address in full, in order that he might send it to his Boston relatives. Beach wrote: "Send your letters to Dundas Post Office, Calumet County, Wis." Thereafter the Boston correspondent would always address his letters to his Wisconsin relative thus: "Mr. Henry Fink, send your letters to Dundas Post Office, Calumet County, Wis." Naturally the queer address caused much merriment among the postmasters. Another enterprising Yankee, a regular New Englander, was Ballard, a good-hearted industrious bachelor. I often worked for him, for he lived only half a mile from our place. In spring and fall especially, he would hire "the general," as he delighted to call me, to help him plant or dig potatoes and do other light work. He kept his house scrupulously clean and tidy and had periodicals and newspapers and quite a library. With "the general" he would discuss all kinds of questions, occasionally urging me to hurry up when I paid more attention to my employer's talk than to my work. He doubtless conceived a liking for me because I was fond of reading and he had a large number of well-chosen books, which I delighted to read. Road making was carried on in those days in rather primitive fashion. The citizens would vote a certain amount of road tax at the regular town meeting, or Election Day. The farmers elected a "path master" who had charge of the road in a certain district. When the time came to work on them, he would send notice to all the taxpayers within his district to come on a certain day to the place appointed to work on the road. The farmers would meet, perhaps at nine o'clock in the morning, with axes, shovels, and grub hoes and begin to build a corduroy bridge over some creek, throwing over the logs a few shovels full of dirt; or, if there was a mud hole to be filled up, they would cut some green brush, throw it into the hole, and scatter over it a few shovels of earth and lo! The road was fixed. More than once I have worked on the road and though but a boy of fifteen to seventeen years I believe I did more work than the average farmer when working out his road tax. I traveled very little during my boyhood. I went a few times to Green Bay, Appleton, and Little Chute. As to Depere I have no distinct recollection, although of course I must have passed through it on my way to Green Bay. In those days we called the place "Rapides des Peres," which was afterwards abbreviate to Depere. The ancient name, a French appellation, was derived from the fact that from 1672 to about the year 1720 the Jesuit Fathers had a house of their order and a church there.

In a letter dated at Green Bay, June 11, 1831, Right Reverend Bishop Fenwick of Cincinnati speaks of Reverend Mazzuchelli as having traveled with him from Mackinac to Green Bay; also of Mrs. Dousman [Note: For a sketch of Mrs. Dousman see Wis, Hist. Colls., XIX, 105, note 42.], a pious Catholic widow. I met the latter later on in Keshena in 1866 where she was then a teacher, perhaps also a government interpreter to some extent. She acted as interpreter for me also, and I never saw a woman so lively, energetic, and expressive in gesture and tone in her conversation. The Bishop also states in the letter to which I have referred that he had chosen the site for a new church halfway between Averino (Navarino) and Shantytown, for which two acres of land had been promised. I remember passing through Shantytown on my trips to Green Bay and hearing the people speak a language of which I could not understand a word. I learned afterwards that they were Belgian Walloons.

I made several trips to Appleton. On one of them, I remember, I went with a neighbor of ours to get a load of grain ground. Both Green Bay and Appleton seem to me to have been then about the size of Bayfield at the present time. Little Chute was a rural hamlet with from twelve to fifteen houses, a store belonging to John Verstegen, and a long, low, and framed church on the bluff facing Fox River. The majority of the farmers in that vicinity were Hollanders who had come to America in 1848 and the following years.

Farming in those days on land full of stumps and roots was conducted in very primitive fashion. When a man had succeeded in cutting down the trees and chopping them into logs of fourteen to sixteen feet in length, he had to pile them up. This was a laborious task, especially if he had no oxen or horses. I remember how, when I was a lad of about thirteen, we had to work with might and main to roll up the heavy logs into piles to burn. Father was a small man, below medium size, but Mother was a large and strong woman and we boys had to work like little men. When the difficult task of burning the logs and brush had been accomplished, we cultivated the land thus wrested from the primitive forest.

For the first two years we had no oxen and so were compelled to plow with heavy grub hoes. Oftentimes our wrists would ache from digging and working in the hard, rooty ground. We would hoe a great number of hills in which to plant potatoes and corn. When the plants appeared above ground it was necessary to hoe them again to kill the weeds and get the crop to grow. Of course we had dig the potatoes with our heavy grub hoes and stow them away in some kind of root house or cellar. It was hard, slavish work throughout the entire year. There were no mowing machines, and I remember seeing Father cut our grain with a sickle, such as was used 4,000 years ago. The first improvement on the sickle was the cradle, with which a good cradler might cut five acres in a day, provided he had strong arms and an iron will. Haymaking was carried on much as it had been in Old Testament times. Heat, fatigues, and sweat were expended lavishly in procuring food for the stock. In spite of the want of modern machinery, however, the farms grew in size and value year by year. First, five to ten acres of stumpy and rooty land, a small log house with wooden chimney and floor made of hewn logs or rough boards, a small stable for the cattle, a pigpen, and a henhouse--such were the rude beginnings of farm life in those days. However, things began gradually to change for the better. Frame house and barn took the place of the old log buildings; horses replaced the slow, patient oxen; the roads became more fit for travel; board fences replaced those made of rails; thus primitive Wisconsin developed into one of the most prosperous states of the Union. This transformation was largely wrought by the strong arm and tireless industry of the now-sometimes-despised foreigner. The German, Dutch, and Irish immigrants dug our canals, built our railroads, cleared our forests, and made a paradise of what was but a few years before a dreary wilderness, the habitation of uncivilized Indians and of wild animals.

In the summer of 1859 I determined to train for the priesthood and began to study Latin, Greek, and French under the instruction of our first pastor in Hollandtown, Reverend Father Spierings. He was a countryman of mine and was also dear friend whom I shall never forget. After the death of my father Reverend Spierings sent me to the Seminary of St. Francis near Milwaukee to continue my studies. A neighbor took me as far as Brothertown and from there I walked all the way to Fond du Lac, arriving late in the evening or rather in the night. If ever there was a tired boy, I was the one, for I had walked twenty-five or thirty miles carrying a heavy grip. Next day I took the train to Milwaukee and walked out to the Seminary, a distance of about five or six miles. A Jew, a countryman, accosted me on the sidewalk and, overflowing with suavity, smiles, and friendliness, invited me to enter his store and urged me to buy a watch, but his officiousness and excessive suavity made me distrust him.

I began to surmise that he must be a Jew, a race of which I had heard so much at home, and I told him I did not need a watch just then, nor anything else. He then pressed me to buy at least a pair of suspenders, but without avail, and I finally got away from my importunate Jewish countryman.

My seminary days were passed during the stormy period of our Civil War, 1861-65. I was drafted for service but I attempted to be released on the plea of being a subject of the king of Holland. To establish this fact I obtained from our Dutch consul in Milwaukee a document about two feet square, the cost of which was $3. Armed with it and with $300 in my pocket, partly procured at home and partly through the efforts of kind friends, especially Father Gernbauer, I presented myself at the provost marshal's office in Milwaukee. That officer questioned me as to my parents and I told him that Father had taken out his first citizenship papers in Boston; and that subsequently he had voted in Wisconsin, as other aliens had done. I was thereupon most solemnly declared to be a citizen of the United States, having been a minor when I came into the country in 1848 and my Father having voted; accordingly I was told to step into a side room to be examined. I was as sound as a dollar and knew that I would not have any chance to escape military duty on the score of physical ailments or defects. So I told the marshal I would pay the commutation fee of $300, in order to be absolved from military duty. I was then taken by a soldier to an adjoining building where I paid my money and received a receipt exempting me from military duty for three years. This document is still preserved in the courthouse in Superior.

I walked back to the Seminary in a very pensive mood. About three or four months later came the spring election, and as I had paid $300 for my American citizenship I thought I would go to the polls to vote. The voting lords recognized that I was a stranger and some one challenged my right to vote, requiring me to swear to my citizenship. I told them how I had been drafted and been declared a citizen liable to military duty, and that I had paid $300 commutation money to exempt me from military service. Notwithstanding this the election board declared I was no citizen and, therefore, had no right to vote. I was so deeply disgusted at this manifest humbug and conceived so great a dislike for Uncle Same that I did not take out my citizenship papers until about fifteen years later.

During my vacation time in the summer of 1862 I was working at a neighbor's place helping to thresh grain. I believe it was the first time I ever saw grain threshed with a machine instead of with the flail as had always been done in my boyhood. While thus engaged there suddenly came to us the startling report: "The Indians are coming! They are killing the whites!" The threshing ceased instantly and every man hastened home to get his gun to go to fight the Indians. I, too, hurried home. Father was dead, and Mother and Brother Cornelius were the only remaining members of the family. The latter was confined to the house on account of a sore foot. Not having bullets or lead, I pounded some pewter spoons into bullets and started for Hollandtown with loaded gun. There all was in an uproar. People had abandoned their farms in terror and dismay, some to hide in the woods, others to seek refuge in the village. Reverend Van Luytelaar was then the pastor of the Hollandtown congregation. His house was full of women with crying babies, many of who were laid crosswise on his bed. All kinds of wild reports were in circulation; some said that the Indians had been driven into a swamp and surrounded; others had still wilder tales to relate.

I think it was in the afternoon when we first heard of the Indians coming and killing the white people. It was decided that after dark some men should be posted on the outskirts of the town as sentinels to watch and report any Indians that might be coming; others, myself amongst the rest, were to go to the intersection of the Military and Kaukaulo roads and watch there. It was a bright, moonlight night when my worthy neighbor, Ballard, carrying two guns, and I wended our way homeward, for we were hungry, not having eaten anything since noon. "Look out general," the fat Yankee would say to me, what I would walk carelessly along, "look out, general, walk as much as possible in the shade, not in the moonlight. The Indians may see and shoot you." At length we posted ourselves behind a fence near the road. Woe to the poor Indian, if he had come along that way! He would have been shot down without mercy or inquiry. Luckily no redskins showed themselves, and we finally got up and went home.

After eating supper I went alone to the crossing mentioned above. There was a small clearing near by in which I noticed a fire burning. Probably the people had been burning brush and chips on the land that afternoon and had fled into the woods or to town when news of the Indian foray came. Seeing nothing suspicious I walked a few rods from the road into the woods, stood my gun up against a tree, and lay down and slept soundly until morning, for I was tired out by the day's work and my trip to the village and return. I learned afterwards that some men, who had been working on the Fox River Canal near Little Chute and whose folks lived in or near Holland-town, had been on their way to this village that night.

When they reached the intersection of the Military Kaukaulo roads they saw the fire and all at once some pigs began to squeal. "Oh! The Indians are there! See the fire! Hear the pigs! They are killing everything!" And my brave countrymen ran at top speed back to Little Chute to tell the terrified people there the fearful news about the Indians' doings. "Of course they had not seen a single Indian, but terror made them imagine all kinds of wild sights. The next day the Indian scare which, I subsequent learned, extended all over Wisconsin was over, and many a ludicrous story was told about what had been done during the universal fright.

This scare on the part of the people of Wisconsin, especially of those dwelling in the northern part of the State, was not without some reason, for at that very time Hole-in-the-Day had planned to attack Crow Wing, Minnesota, and kill the whites there and in that vicinity. The project was frustrated by the efforts of a venerable Catholic priest of seventy-seven years, Reverend Father Pierz [Note: Francis Xavier Pierz was born in Carniola, Austria, in 1785. At the request of Father Baraga, Pierz in 1835 came to the United States and was a missionary at Sault Ste. Marie, La Pointe, and l'Arbre Croche. In 1852 he removed to Crow Wing on the Mississippi where he ministered until 1864. In 1873 he returned to his native land where he died in 1880.] (Pirec was his Slavonian name) who induced Hole-in-the-Day to give up his cruel design [Note: As the writers the Minnesota massacre, either designedly or from ignorance do not mention this fact, I will give the account as it is found in Acta et Dicta, III, 83--84, published by the St. Paul Catholic Historical Society:

"Through his [Rev. Pirec's] influence with the chiefs he frequently averted wars and hostile expeditions among them. He prevented the threatened massacre of the inhabitants of Crow Wing in 1862. From a friendly Indian he received the information that the Red men of Leech under the leadership of Chief Holeda were preparing to attack the above named village. Father Pirec at once set out towards the camp in a dark forest. When approaching the place were the council of war was held he was halted by two heavily armed horsemen, who refused to let him pass the "dead-line." The sentinels informed him that no white man was allowed to pass alive beyond that spot. But as the good father insisted, he was lifted bodily from the ground and carried across the danger point. The chiefs were sullen and silent at the approach of the aged black-robe; but after half an hour's convincing and serious talk on the evils of war Pirec succeeded in showing them how useless it is for them to wage war] against the whites. Holeda finally grasped the missionary's hand and promised that the next day the chiefs would come to Crow Wing to make peace. Matters were finally settled in an amicable manner the following day." This is but a summary account of the affair. Many years ago I read a more detailed description of it, but I cannot find it now. There is no doubt that Father Pierz averted--at the danger of his own life--the intended massacre of the whites at Crow Wing. He took his life in his hands in daring to go to the hostile Indian camp. What saved him from being killed was the respect they had for him, knowing him to be a kind-hearted, good old man. None of the Indians, as he afterwards declared, was Catholic. --C. A. V.].

On November 5, 1865 I was ordained with many others and sent to New London, Wisconsin. The village at that time was small and the inhabitants consisted of Americans, Irish, Germans, and Poles. I think New London was not far from the site of the ancient village of the "Oudagamig" after whom Outagamie County has been named [Note: These Indians called themselves "Miskwakig," that is, "Red Land People," probably from the fact that they inhabited a country where red clay was the predominant soil. They were called by the French, Reynards (Foxes), and their territory seems to have stretched northward from Lake Winnebago and along the Wolf and Fox rivers. They were constantly at war with the Chippewa and later on with the French. Father Claude Allouez, S. J., first visited them early in the spring of 1670 and on March 25 of that year, St. Mark's Day, he said Mass at their village for the first time and hence named the place "The Mission of St. Mark." From Marquette's map of 1674 it appears that the village was located on Wolf River about due west from the head of Green Bay at Depere, which would indicate that it must have been somewhere in the vicinity of New London.--C. A. V.]. I had the whole of Waupaca County for my mission district and I was almost always on the road traveling from one place to another. The people, mostly Irish, were very kind to their priest and many a pleasant evening I spent with them, they telling me about old Ireland and generally winding up their narratives with some uncanny ghost story. A few days after my arrival in New London I had to go to Waupaca, the county seat, to register my clergyman's certificate. It was a warm, sunny afternoon when, on horseback and but thinly clad, I started for Waupaca via Weyauwega, but the weather soon changed. Shivering with cold I came to Weyauwega where I stayed over night. Next morning I continued my journey, the weather being still very cold. On the way the horse stumbled and fell, throwing me over his head on to the frozen ground. Luckily no bones were broken but my wrists ached from striking the hard ground with my hands. I rode on, however, and about noon arrived at Waupaca. I put up at a hotel and after dinner called upon the proper county official and had my certificate registered. Then I started homeward via Ogdensburg, Royalton, and Northport to New London. The weather was so cold that I was frequently forced to dismount and walk in order to warm myself somewhat; then I would mount and ride until the biting wind forced me again to take to walking. Finally, after dark, I arrived at the house of Sullivan, near Royalton, where I stayed over night. After a good warming up and an appetizing supper, I was shown my bedroom. "Father," said Mrs. Sullivan, "not long ago a woman died in that room and before she died she saw five ghosts coming into it." A creeping sensation of terror came over me at this news of walking spirits. I believe in all my life I never said my bedside prayers as fervently as I did that night; but I was tired out by the hardships of the day and when I got into the warm bed I slept as soundly as a bear, and if ghostly visitors put in an appearance I did not notice them. Next day I returned safe and sound to my residence, which consisted of a couple of rooms in the second story of an old frame house. Later on I built a small parsonage for myself near the church. Towards the end of December, 1865 I went to Keshena via Bear Creek, Clintonville, and Shawano, riding all the way on horseback and carrying my vestments in a saddlebag. Here and there were small clearings and poor log houses. At Clintonville I saw but one house in the midst of a small clearing. Whether there was a village of the same name somewhere else, not on my route, I cannot tell, but I believe not. At Shawano, which was then but a mere hamlet, I stopped over night at the house of Doctor Wiley, who was married to a daughter of Mrs. Dousman, a half-breed lady, one of whose daughters was a governmental teacher at Keshena.

The Menomonees were first visited by Father Allouez in 1669, and subsequently by Father André, S. J. Father Marquette, who stopped at their village in 1673 on his voyage of discovery and exploration of the Mississippi, says that some of them were Christians. They tried to dissuade him from his intended exploration, depicting in most lively fashion the many dangers which he would encounter [Note: See Reuben G. Thwaites (ed.), Jesuit Relations (Cleveland, 1896-1901), LXIV to LXIX, passim.]. In 1853 Reverend Father Skolla, O. S. Fr. St. Obs. went to them and labored among them about two years [Note: Rev. Otton Skolla, born in Carniola, Austria, in 1805, was ordained in 1831 and came to America in 1841. He was stationed at Detroit in 1842; at Mackinac, 1843-45; and at La Pointe from the latter year to 1853. Thence he was sent to the Menominee Indians for whom he built a chapel at Keshena, Wis. Father Skolla died at Fiume, Austria, in 1879.]. They finally turned against him for various superstitious reasons. Occasionally Father Skolla played chess all by himself in his poor habitation, while some distrustful Indians watched him stealthily through some window or aperture in the wall. Seeing the chessmen of two different colors arranged on the board, fighting one another as it were, they concluded that the game was "bad medicine" used by the whites to exterminate the red man. The Father had also a large cat to which at times he would talk or say some words, and this again was interpreted as "bad medicine," for how could a man converse with a cat if they did not understand each other? At length a pagan Chippewa told them that the Father dug up the bodies of the dead (I suppose also for "bad medicine") and, pointing to a box on which he was sitting, asserted that it contained human flesh. These absurd and malevolent stories turned the people against the priest and he was obliged to leave in 1855, returning to his native land, where he died many years later.

After Father Skolla's departure Father Mazeaud [Note: Father was a French priest who officiated at Keshena, 1863-64. He was arrested and taken to Shawano where he was released and departed for Milwaukee, never to return.] was stationed in Keshena, where he became embroiled with the Indian agent and was arrested for persisting, contrary to the agent's prohibition, in having church services during a season of smallpox. At the time I visited the natives in 1865 and in March 1866, they had had no divine service for some years. The first time I visited Keshena I stayed for some days at the house of the Indian agent, who treated me very kindly. The second time, in March, I stayed at the house of Mrs. Dousman, who acted as my interpreter. Later on Father Maschelein [Note: Father Amandus Maschelein was at Keshena from 1875 until 1880. He built the Catholic Church for the Menominee in 1875. He did not know their language and obliged to communicate through an interpreter. In September, 1880 the Franciscans from St. Louis arrived and the aged priest, Maschelein, retired.] had charge of the Menominee mission for many years, but as he was getting old and infirm the mission was finally given in charge to the Franciscan Fathers. They continue to labor there, having a large frame church and boarding school for Indian children not far from the government school.

In 1868 I was sent by Right Reverend Bishop--afterwards Archbishop-Henni [Note: John Martin Henni was born in Switzerland in 1805; in 1829 he met Bishop Fenwick of Ohio at Rome, and at his solicitation came to America. Shortly afterwards he was ordained at Bardstown, Ky. In 1843 he was elected bishop of Milwaukee, and having been consecrated, preceded to his diocese, where he arrived May 3, 1844. He became archbishop in 1875, and his death occurred Sept. 7, 1881.] of Milwaukee to Hudson. Here I had a large territory under my care, namely, St. Croix, Polk, and Pierce counties, my mission extending from Long Lake in Polk County to Diamond Bluff, about fifteen miles below Prescott. The principal places were Hudson, Prescott, Big River, Somerset, and Farmington.

Hudson was at that time (1868-72) a thriving town with a good farming country adjacent. Before the railroad was built into it the farmers from Erin Prairie, New Richmond, Hammond, Pleasant Valley, and other places used to haul their grain to Hudson and do their trading there. I think the railroad took much of this trade away as thereafter people brought their grain to the nearest railroad station and did their trading at that place.

There are two St. Croix lakes, the upper and the lower. The upper lake extends from Solon Springs--formerly White Birch--to Gordon. The Chippewa name is Wigwassikag (Wig-wau-se-kaug), which means a place where there are many white birch trees. They call St. Croix River "Manominikeshi Sibi [Man-no-me-ne-kesh-e-Se-be]," Wild Rice Bird, or Snipe, River. The lower St. Croix Lake, from Stillwater to Prescott, where it empties into the Mississippi River, is called by the Indians "Gigo-Agomod [Ge-go-Aug-o-mod]. [Note: This signifies "something floating."]" An Indian told me the following legend concerning this lake. In the olden time, before the advent of the palefaces, two Indians were hunting on the shores of the Lake. Evening came and they had nothing to eat except two fish, which one of them had caught. "Friend," said he to his companion, "take one of the fish to eat." "Never mind," replied the other, "tomorrow we will get some game. When I eat fish, I become very thirsty and can't stop drinking." At length, however, he yielded to his friend's request and ate one of the fish. He became very thirsty and during the night his companion had to go frequently to the lake and fetch water in a birch-bark vessel; this the thirsty man would hastily drink and fall asleep again. In a short time, however, he would awake and call for more water. Finally, his companion grew tired and fell asleep. His friend awaking called out to him to get more water, but being sound asleep the water carrier did not hear the request; so the thirsty Indian arose and going to the edge of the lake lay down and drank to his heart's content. When his friend awoke he missed his thirsty companion and immediately went down to the lake. But lo! There was no more water in it! The thirsty hunter had drunk all the water, only here and there could be seen some pools of muddy water where some fish were floating about; hence the Chippewa name.

At a very early day there was a French fort or trading post up the St. Croix River, at the mouth of Yellow River, probably built about the year 1686. I suppose it was the French traders who named the stream "St. Croix [Holy Cross] River. [Note: The fur-trade post on Yellow River was built much later than the author thinks. It was established in the latter part of the eighteenth century. See report of a trader there in 1803-4 in Wis. Hist. Colls., XX, 396-471. There were, however, seventeenth-century trading posts on the St. Croix-Brule waterway. Duluth took this route in 1680 and may have established a temporary post at upper St. Croix Lake. Le Sueur had trading posts to protect this waterway in 1693. See id., XVI, 173, note 1.St. Croix River was named for an early coureur de bois of that name who was wrecked at its mouth. Ibid., 185-86.] "

In 1872 I was sent to Seneca, Crawford County, a hamlet of about a dozen houses some twenty-two miles north of Prairie du Chien. The people, about 130 Irish families, were industrious and well behaved, most of them being farmers. I was the first resident priest, the place having previously been attended by the priest from Rising Sun. During my six-year stay there I built a church and a parsonage. Oftentimes I used to go to Prairie du Chien to visit my clerical friends there. Through the generosity of John Lawler a large college was bought and liberally endowed, and a large academy for Notre Dame Sisters established [Note: John Lawler was born in Ireland, May 4, 1832; he came to America at the age of four and at fifteen entered the railway construction business. When the first railroad reached Prairie du Chien in 1857 he was appointed station agent and two years later general agent. Lawler accumulated a fortune in the transportation business, building in 1874 the pontoon bridge across the Mississippi; he was liberal patron of education and was awarded by the pope the knighthood of St. Gregory. He died Feb. 24, 1891. St. Mary's Institute for girls was founded in 1872 on the grounds of old Fort Crawford. The college of the Sacred Heart founded about the same time is now a training school for the Jesuit Order.]. Both institutions are in a flourishing condition and are doing a noble educational work. Lawler was a noble-hearted, energetic, self-made man and a model Catholic. While in Seneca I became acquainted with Walter Fardy, a bright young man, who was then teaching school somewhere in the vicinity. He studied for the priesthood, was ordained, and subsequently was stationed at New Richmond and Superior. For many years he was vicar-general of the diocese of Superior; he died last autumn in West Superior, where he was buried. As the Indians of the La Crosse diocese had had no resident priest for three years (1875-78) Bishop Heiss, then bishop of La Crosse but afterwards archbishop of Milwaukee [Note: Michael Heiss was born in Bavaria, April 17, 1812. He was ordained at Munich in 1840, and two years later came to the United States. In 1844 he went to assist Bishop Henni at Milwaukee, and in 1868 was made bishop of La Crosse. In 1880 Bishop Heiss became coadjutor of Archbishop Henni, whom the next year he succeeded. He died at La Crosse, March 26, 1890.], requested me to go to the Lake Superior country. I arrived at Bayfield on June 19, 1878 and for about half a year had charge of this place, and also of La Pointe (Madeleine Island) and Bad River Reservation.

The whites first visited the region at the western end of Lake Superior about the year 1659 [Note: The date of the visit of the first white explorers of Lake Superior, Radisson and Groseilliers, is somewhat in doubt; it may not have been until 1661.]. For a decade thereafter-French missionaries made valiant attempts to establish Christianity and civilization in this region. The last of these early missionaries, the famous Father Jacques Marquette, was forced to flee the country with his people in the summer of 1671 through fear of the bloodthirsty Sioux. In July, 1835, 164 years after the departure of Father Marquette from Chequamegon Bay, Rev. (later Bishop) Federic Baraga [Note: Frederic Baraga was born in Carniola, Austria, June 29, 1797. He was a law student at the University of Vienna, took orders in 1823, and in 1830 came to America. From 1831-33 he was missionary at l'Arbre Croche, and from 1833-35 at Grand River, Mich. In 1835 he went to the Lake Superior region and reestablished the mission at La Point where in 1835 he built a church. In 1843 Baraga founded a mission at L'Anse; in 1853 he was consecrated bishop of Upper Michigan and removed his headquarters to Sault Ste. Marie. In 1865 the see was transferred to Marquette where on Jan. 19, 1868 Bishop Baraga died. His linguistic knowledge was great, and he published a Chippewa grammar and dictionary.] came to reestablish there the Catholic church. Of the character of La Pointe and its population in Baraga's time Vincent Roy [Note: Vincent Roy was born on Rainy Lake in 1825, his father being a French trader, his mother a Chippewa squaw. At fourteen, he was sent to school at La Pointe, but he soon entered the fur trade, having an early post of the site of Superior, of which city he was a founder in 1845. Twice Roy visited Washington (in 1852 and 1866) in the interests of the Chippewa tribesmen. In 1868 he established a store at Superior, where on April 2, 1896 he died.], formerly of Superior but now deceased, says in a letter addressed to the present writer:

There were no pure European families in La Pointe at that time (1835-43); European males married into mixed-blood families, with the exception of the families of the Presbyterian mission -- Rev. Sherman Hall and Teacher Sprote (two families). The population varied very much according to the season. In the winter they would number about thirty or forty mixed-blood families, besides a very few pagan Indian families. In the summer the population would about double in all shades of color. It must be borne in mind that La Pointe was pre-eminently the Indian depot for the distribution of goods to the different minor posts, and it was necessarily the headquarters for all engaged in the fur traffic. Fishing was also carried on very extensively. Those who were engaged in this occupation were those who remained at home during the winter, mending their nets and making preparations for the next season's work. Fishing was also a branch of the American Fur Company's business.

There was but one store and that was the fur company's. They carried in stock everything that was necessary--groceries, dry goods, hardware, etc. The grocery department occupied a two-story building about the same size as the dry goods department building, one standing on each side of a street leading from a dock about the same place where the present dock is. There was also a banking department, which was situated about 200 feet east of the other buildings. There was no saloon. There were two carpenter shops, one operated by Mr. Perinier and the other by Dufault, also one large cooper shop maintained by the company, one blacksmith shop, etc. There was also one very large warehouse for repacking fish; it was about 200 feet long and was situated on the dock. In the rear of these buildings the company also maintained a very extensive garden and orchard, in which were raised all kinds of garden vegetables, grapes, cherries, crabapples, currants, strawberries, etc. This was enclosed by a high board fence and was in charge of old man Oakes, father of Charles H. Oakes, lately of St. Paul, who was an expert gardener. Antoine Gaudin (Gordon) assisted him one or two years. "Squire Bell" was at La Pointe upon my arrival in 1839. Rabidoux, Charpentier, Dufault (Dénommais) were there before me. Remillard came two or three years after me. Stahls and O'Malley came during Father Chebul's time, about 1860-61. Borup and Oakes were headmen for the fur company (John Jacob Astor). All voyageurs, "runners," as they were called, were employed by said company. They would leave La Pointe about the beginning of September, stay away all fall and winter among the Indians in their respective districts, collect furs, and return about the beginning of June. They would take along blankets, clothes, and guns. Etc., to trade with the Indians for their furs. They took along very little provisions, as they depended mostly on hunting, fishing, wild rice, and trade with the Indians for their support. There were several depots for depositing goods and collecting furs, for instance at Fond du Lac (Minnesota,) Sand Lake, Courte Oreilles, Lac du Flambeau, Mouth of Yellow River, etc. The vessels used on Lake Superior for the fur trade were the "John Jacob Astor," a three-masted schooner, the "Brewster," and the "Siskowit" built by old man Perinier.

The Presbyterian school was then in full operation under Rev. Sherman Hall, the number of scholars at this school was about forty [Note: For this missionary see Wis Hist. Colls. XII, 442-47.].

When I came to the Lake Superior country in 1878, about forty years after Baraga's time, I found La Pointe old, dilapidated, and dead, instead of full of life and stir as it had been in his day. No trading post, no fur traffic, the buildings all gone except some old, tumbling-down structures, no orchard, no garden; the thriving community of 1835 was gone and in its place were a few rickety buildings, some of logs, others, frame structures. One day about the year 1884 I took a walk along the beach and entered the old Presbyterian boarding-school building. It was then open and tenantless. The church was the very picture of dilapidation. I believe some one had stored hay in it. Some years ago it was removed to its present site, and the boarding school has been repaired and remodeled into a neat hotel for summer tourists.

La Pointe is now entering upon new transformation; it is fast becoming a tourist's resort to which in July and August many come from all parts of the South. The time is not far distant when it will become a fashionable pleasure resort. The old church built by Reverend Father Baraga in 1835 and removed in 1841 to the site where the new Catholic Church now stands burned down in 1901. The fire was apparently of incendiary origin as there had been no divine service in the building for some days prior to its destruction. An attractive new church was built on the site of the old one in 1902 by Reverend [Father] Casimir Vogt, O. F. M [Note: Casimir Vogt was born in 1846 at Wurzen, Prussia; he was educated at Breslau and ordained in 1870. In 1875 he joined the Order of St. Francis and the same year came to America and was sent to Lake Superior as a Chippewa missionary in 1878. He made his headquarters at Bayfield from 1878-88, and, ministered throughout the northern country. From 1884-91 he was at Superior. The latter year he returned to Bayfield.].

There have been resident priests in La Pointe and Bayfield for the last eighty years, yet it is a remarkable fact that not a single one has died there in all that time.

In the summer of 1878 Right Reverend Bishop Heiss of La Crosse offered the Indian missions of his diocese to the Franciscan Fathers of the Sacred Heart Province with headquarters at St. Louis, Missouri. The latter order sent Rev. Kilian Schloesser, O. F. M., to investigate the state of affairs among the Chippewa Indians at Bayfield and other places near by. He went to Bad River Reservation and held a council with the Indians, the result of which was that he made a favorable report to the Chapter assembled at St. Louis and it was determined to accept the Indian missions of the Lake Superior region. Fathers Casimir Vogt and John Gafron with Brother Juniper arrived at Bayfield about the middle of October and took charge of the Indians at that place, La Pointe, Bad River, and other inland points. I was then sent to Superior where I arrived about November 6, 1878.

Superior was then a dead town with but few inhabitants and nothing going on. A man might stand a whole day on the principal street of the town without seeing a single wagon or team go by. Most of the houses were empty and there were but a few small stores. A small steamer, about thirty feet long, ran between Superior and Duluth, carrying generally half a dozen passengers going to Duluth to make their purchases. The boat was owned by George Brooks. There were about forty-five Catholic families in the town, of whom fifteen were white and the remainder Indian half-breeds. For eleven months I had charge of the Catholic people of Duluth and Superior, Father Genin having gone to France to visit relatives. During the year I also attended Fond du Lac (Minnesota), Cloquet

898 55189    Appleton - Henry Sylvester Renn, age 86, passed away at home on his farm. Henry was born in Harrison/Gleason up in the north woods of Wisconsin, to Henry and Whilhelmina (Schoone) Renn. Henry was one of twelve children; his Mother died when he was 9 years old and his Father a few years later. Under the guardianship of Uncle Joe, the Renn children took care of each other and as 2 of his sisters joined the convent Henry enrolled in St Nazainz Seminary his freshman year of high school. He barely survived the school year as he missed his family up north. Henry never finished high school but worked in the woods, he moved to the Kaukauna area getting work as a farm hand, and then he met the love of his life Hermmina Schreiber. As they planned their wedding and life together Henry was working at the pulp mill, he discovered he did not like mill work. When his father-in-law offered him a job as his hired man to run the original farm, he and Hermmina started farming; eventually they bought the farm from Herman Schreiber, built their home to live in until death and raised 5 children. He was proud to teach his children to raise animals and work the farm fields. He supported his children as they began their lives as a teacher, farmer, cook, financial consult and scientist. Henry was an active 4-H leader, a member and President of Calumet Co. Farm Bureau and the Milk Marketing Board. He truly enjoyed and cherished all the 18 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren with one on the way. After Henry retired by selling the cows, he went fishing in Canada a few times, went to deer camp and traveled to visit his children and grandchildren. He took time to read books and play cards with family and friends.
Henry's favorite saying was; "he never worked a day in his life, just stayed home on the farm".
Henry is preceded in death by his wife Hermmina, and his son Henry H. Renn and is survived by children: daughter Frances (Michael) Renn-Malcheski, Ashwaubenon and their children: Wesley (Laura) Koltis and Wendolyn (Michael) Lambrecht, Henry's wife Terry, Sherwood and their children: Jennifer (Jon) Bretl, Molly (Erich) O'Brien, Hank, Frank, Casey and Spencer Renn, daughter Lucy (Robert) Kesler, Stockbridge and their children: Angeline (Mike) von Neupert, Jessica (Troy) Jansen, Thomas and Gloria Kesler, son Matthew (Ann) Renn, Baraboo and their children: McCartney and Morgan Renn, son Michael (Tracy) Renn, New Richmond and their children: Alyssa (fiancé Robert),Alex (Tatiana), Connor and Jaxon. Henry is further survived by brothers and sisters; Wilhelmina (Jerome) Roberts, Sister Frances Renn, Isabel (Neal) Olkives, Mary (George) Sladek, Peter (Kathy) Renn, Paul Renn, sisters in law; Arlene Renn and Estella Renn, Inez Everts, Kitty (Marvin) DeBruin Sally Schreiber and brother-in-law Sylvester Nett.

The family wishes a very special Thank you to Care providers; Janina (Henry thought of her as another daughter), Deb, Paul and Vickie. Ascension Hospice nurses, Dr. Danz and his office staff, and the Pharmacy staff at Pick n Save.
His cows are milked, their stalls are cleaned. He's already swept in the last of their feed. Today this farmer's work is done.
It's time his planter is put away. His corn is in, his rows are straight: Nothing left to do-but hope and pray- for summer sun and gentle rain. This farmer's work is done.
Don't you see? His children are his rows of corn; the crops growing in the summer sun. Grandpa took great pride, until the day he died, in the crops he shared and the seeds he left behind; now it's time for him to rest. This farmer's work is done.

907 55512    Jesse A Bevers, age 86, of Little Chute, entered eternal life on September 20, 2012. Beloved husband of 63 years to Sally (nee McMorrow). Outstanding father to Steve (Pat), Scott (Cherith), Mary (Terry) Chipman, Joe (Lisa), and Carol Nees. Jesse was preceded in death by his parents, Adrian and Myrtle; by brothers Orval and David; sisters Audrey Schmidt and Carol; brothers-in-law Emmett, James, and John McMorrow, Marvin Skalmusky and Woody McCabe; sister-in law Mary McMorrow; and by an infant son and daughter. He is survived by sisters Vivian Skalmusky, Eunice McCabe and Linda (Mark) Hietpas; brothers Wesley (Marge) and Mike (Darlene); sisters-in-law Ruth and Nancy Bevers, Joyce and Thelma McMorrow; and brothers-in-law Jerry Schmidt and Tom (Lois) McMorrow.
Jesse and Sally were proud grandparents of 14 grandchildren (Shawn, Leah, Angela, Jessi, Kyle, Brett, Dan, Patrick, Chris, Josh, Jon, Mike, Ryan and Taylor) and 15 great-grandchildren. Jesse could often be found attending a sporting or special event for first his children, then grandchildren and then great-grandchildren. He loved attending these events and became well known as an avid fan.
After graduating from St. John's High School in 1944 where he excelled in boxing, Jesse proudly served in the US Army Air Corp during WWII as a Staff Sergeant in the Pacific Theatre. Many of his best stories came from this time in his life. He was an active member of the Jacob Coppus American Legion Post 258 including acting as an honor guard at the funeral of many veterans.
Jesse loved the outdoors and was especially fond of musky fishing and birds of all kinds. His passion for birds led to many years of raising and racing homing pigeons.
Jesse's early work years found him as a mason for C.R.Meyer and he continued to perform this work throughout his lifetime. He was justifiably proud of his masonry work and of the many buildings he helped erect. He worked at Kimberly-Clark until 1976 and retired from Appleton Papers as a mason in 1989.
During Jesse's life the Packers won 13 world championships with dad cheering them on the entire time. The Ice Bowl was one of his proudest moments (perhaps the Packers as well). He's also an owner of the Packers and now that dad is watching from above perhaps he'll have more influence on the outcome of future games.
Jesse was a life-long member of St. John's Church in Little Chute.
Visitation will be held Monday September 24, 2012 at ST. JOHN NEPOMUCENE CATHOLIC CHURCH (323 S. Pine St. Little Chute) beginning at 9:00 a.m. until time of Mass at 11:00 a.m. The Rev. Ronald Belitz will officiate. Military rites conducted by the Jacob Coppus American Legion Post 258 will immediately follow. Committal St. John Cemetery. To sign the guest book, please visit oconnellfh.com. A memorial is being established.
Our family would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, the caring and compassionate hospice staff and volunteers including Tina, Gina, Dan, and Phil, as well as the staff at Parkside.
All who knew Jesse benefitted from his legendary storytelling. Now that he has entered eternal life he has millions more willing listeners so we know he's happy. Right now, I can hear dad talking to St. Peter; "Did I ever tell you about the time……………."

I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me,
for now I’m free;
I’m following the path
God laid for me.
I took His hand
when I heard Him call;
I turned my back
and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love,
to work or play.
Tasks left undone
must stay that way;
I found that place
at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with
remembered joy.
A friendship shared,
a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things,
I too will miss.
Be not burdened
with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine
of tomorrow.
My life’s been full,
I savored much;
Good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time
seemed all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now
with undue grief.
Lift up your heart
and share with me;
God wanted me now,
He set me free.
I love you Papa,
Hunter

919 56126    Jay :Thanks for responding.I'm working all year on this to publish what I've found as a "surprise" f or the family, so would appreciate your discretion in keeping our exchang es private just for now. To date, I haven't found John on the 1870 census. By the 1880 he and h is family were living in Kansas. Johann was married to Justine Marie Hansen (b. 1832, Schleswig-Holstein ), but I have no date - they may have been married in Germany, maybe Wisco nsin. Two children born in Kansas, Dorothy Elizabeth in 1874 and Frank in 187 6. So John was in Wisconsin in October 1868 and farming in Kansas on or b efore January 1874, this much is documented.(Red herring: the family insisted that Dorothy was born in Germany so Jo hn and Justine must have been married there and crossed as a family. Wh en I found Dorothy's birth place, I tossed all other assumptions and start ed fresh.)In 1895 John moved farm and household to Brown County. Dorothy probably m arried while living in Wisconsin, but returned to Kansas. Frank definite ly married in Wisconsin and remained there.When John died, 1907, Justine went to live with her daughter in Kansas. Much of what I've found goes against family lore. Whether John actual ly had cousins in Hollandtown?, I'm thinking the answer might be fou nd in the records of Saint Francis.I haven't figured how you are related each surname of your database, b ut we have a multitude of family connections ; I found a few more yet aft er writing you earlier.
StevenP.S. From my mother's side, I have the records of Zion-Wayside from found ing through early 1930s (working through these was bliss). If I can do a ny looking-up for you, don't hesitate. (Also one plat book circa 1950, th is you no doubt have; otherwise I have nothing but a wish list, very long. )
----------------------------------------------------------
Jay, Thanks to your transcript, I was able to locate the grave of John Sch midt (b. 8 November 1835; d. 30 July 1907) and have browsed through your w eb pages on a number of visits. The information and links have often be en helpful. John was my great-great-grandfather ; I have all of his descendants and s omething of his biography, this was fairly easy But I'm not going to g et much farther until I solve the mystery of his nativity.I'm at some distance and not sure when research in Green Bay will be a pos sibility. For now, if I may, a few questions in the event you've run acro ss any of this information : Do you know more about John (Johann) from the records of Saint Francis ( or would you just happen to have his obituary :-) ?Do you know if or how he might be related to the other Schmidts buried ne ar him ? My great aunt, dead before I took an interest in any of this, be lieved he'd moved to Hollandtown from Kansas because "some cousins" were a lready living there. Too, his Declaration of Intent had been filed in Out agamie County (1868) before he settled in Kansas. Do you have a place of birth for the immigrants among your Schmidt s? If only the Provinz or Kreis, this would help to narrow research (as w ould his full name or middle initial :-). At this writing, all I kn ow is he'd been a citizen of Preußen. On slightest chance of all, would names Herman N. Schmidt (b. 1862) or h is cousin Albert Schmidt (about same age) appear as sibling or son to a ny member of Saint Francis or your database? Herman arrived in the U. S. in 1885 ; I have no dates for Albert ; neither married nor died in Wisc onsin, but other members of their families may have lived by Hollandtown. Any information you can provide would be helpful. If nothing, understo od and I'll hang patient until I can get to Brown County. Steven

920 56130    MONTANYE Family; Most of your "possibly related" are definite, some are wi ves, born with another surname. Adam, for instance, graduated from high s chool in spring, was married over summer… will do the others after I've he ard from you ; it's well below freezing and I need to get out for some fir ewood.The other infos pretty much match what I have. Charlie's mother died wh en he was about seven ; when he got married, he worked as a projectioni st in the Kaukauna movie-houses ; most of his life he worked for Thilman y, also moonlighted as a bartender. As for Claude, have you more, whether Katherine was his first or second w ife ? Steven
A cursory browse of your database turns up these connections :Peter CONRAD, born 23 September 1908, Freedom; died 22 March 1993 in Kauka una. My "step-grandfather".Pete married Erma SCHEIBE. Born in the Town of Lawrence on 15 July 191 1, succumbed to cancer on 4 March 1985 at a hospital in Appleton. My gran dmother.I don't have your pages up right now, but Erma's father was Hubert Schei be (do you have Herbert?) and I can update you on my great uncles as I g et farther along with this. Only two widows survive that generation. The obituary I sent, Henrietta ROMENESKO, b. 24 February 1872 her daugh ter Mary PENNINGS, b. 19 November 1901, married Anthony R. DERUS, b. 13 Ju ly 1899 in Kaukauna, d. 18 September 1986 at Riverview Health Center in Ap pleton. There were five children (Joan, Clarine, Charlotte, Betty, and Da vid).Charlotte DERUS married Charles MONTANYE, b. 1919. I can confirm his de cease, but not the date, it was a while ago; he's buried in Kaukauna, I 'm guessing Saint Mary's. In summer Charlotte moved to a care facility b ei Appleton.Charlie and Charlotte, six children, of whom Keith MONTANYE is my uncle, s till living.What I ran into why I'm troubling to weave your infos into mine is t he discovery that Mizer is, after all, related to Pete. How, exactl y, is what I'm working to calculate, I have a hard time with this par Must get back to typing (in case I haven't qualified :-) ; also, to g et a fire going a warm rainy week found a frosty end. The gale-force wi nds aren't helping much.Steven

942 57041    Althea Valentyn, 89, Kimberly, passed peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus on Sunday afternoon August 13, 2017. She went to Jesus from her apartment at the St. Paul Villa surrounded by her family. Althea was born in Kimberly, on February 22, 1928, daughter of the late Anton and Christine (Kamps) Vanden Boom. She was a proud member of the Kimberly High School graduating class of 1948.
On August 6, 1949 she married Bob Valentyn at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church. They shared 62 years of marriage before Bob preceded her in death in July, 2011. Together, they raised six children. Althea was the consummate wife and mother. She loved and supported Bob in all his activities and affirmed the gifts and talents of their children at every turn.
Althea shared her deep faith in God as a member of the Holy Name of Jesus Christian Mothers, a participant in weekly Bible study, a leader in the Cursillo movement in the Green Bay Diocese, High School CCD Teacher, a member of the Good News Choir, a Eucharistic Minister, a Care Minister, a prayer partner at Holy Name School, and most especially as the founder of the Valley Area Special Needs Religion Education Program which she began in the mid 1960s. Althea felt God's strong call to share her passion and love for Jesus and out of that call VASNRE was formed to provide religion education for children and adults with special needs. Althea created and developed the curriculum which is still utilized today.
As a valued and respected member of the community, Althea participated in the Kimberly Papermaker Booster Club. She was a member of American Legion Auxiliary William Verhagen Post 60. Althea was a charter member of the Holy Name Drama Club.
Althea and Bob enjoyed golfing in a couples league at Countryside Golf Course and playing cribbage with the "cribbage gang." Althea was an avid reader and a lover of all music and introduced her children to playing the piano. She was a fan of sports of all kinds and followed the Brewers, Packers, and Badgers with great enthusiasm. Watching her children participate in athletics brought Althea great joy! Close to 40 years of cottage rentals in Summit Lake, WI provided many family memories.
Althea will be missed dearly by six children and their families:
Mike (Pat) Valentyn, Kaukauna, and their children, Sara (Brian) Hooyman and their children, Nicholas and Makayla; Katherine (John Jones) Valentyn and their children, Martha and Alicia; and Lee Valentyn.

Althea's faith was the foundation for her life. Obediently using the gifts she was given, Althea nurtured relationships through conversation.

Her legacy will live on in those who choose to love and serve as Althea did.

955 57389    Notes from Steve Bachhuber

LEST WE FORGETOur branch of the Bachhuber family came to Wisconsin from Bavaria during the early South German emigration to America-July 31, 1846 being the date of their entry in New York aboard the Susan Drew sailing out of Le Havre, France.The first and second generation, European born, have long since passed away. The third generation, all American born, knew but little of the struggle and trial of these true pioneers-while in the succeeding generations they are but names from the dim past. Let us at least preserve their names for our offspring.
It is 2007. I am of the 5th generation. I have two children (6th generation) and siblings who are grandparents of kids of the 7th generation. We are from the youngest "line". I think it is safe to say that the 8th generation of the Martin/Theresia branch of the Bachhuber family is roaming the land. I provide this brief snapshot of the first three generations of our family as a way of remembering them and also to, perhaps, foster some additional research by other members of the clan.
Thanks go out to my cousin Jim Bachhuber from whom much of this information was obtained, Beth Steinberg Arnott, descendant of Johann, who provided critical information including a copy of Hugo Bachhuber's memoirs and Mike Benter whose research for his book Roll Out the Barrels: Brewers of Eastern Dodge County, Wisconsin, 1850-1961 is used here.

Steve Bachhuber
Springfield, VA
February, 2007

Sometime in the 1960's my Dad (Robert, 4th generation, son of Emeron and Helen) gave me a mimeographed "family tree" displaying the first three generations of our branch of the family that someone had put together for a Bachhuber reunion in the 1930's. I've made a few minor wording changes to the document, added birth years and, if found in the various source materials utilized, German version of Christian names.
Bach-- German: topographic name for someone who lived by a stream, Middle High German bach 'stream'.Huber-- German (also Hüber, Hueber): status name based on Middle High German huobe, a measure of land, varying in size at different periods and in different places, but always of considerable extent, appreciably larger than the holding of the average peasant. The surname usually denotes a holder or owner of this amount of land, who would have been a prosperous small farmer and probably one of the leading men of his village.
 Martin was born in Deglkofen (sp?), a small town that cannot be found on any present day map but according to family documents was located near Regensburg (also known as Ratisbon) in Nieder Bayern (Lower Bavaria). His passport listed him as a "kleingueter" or owner of a small farm. Theresia was born in Kelheim, on the Danube River (Donau), also near Regensburg. Their children were all born in Kelheim.
There was a fifth child, Eligius, who died at the age of six, before the family's emigration to America.
Maximilian was listed as a merchant on the 1860 census. This line produced many doctors and politicians, one of whom is currently serving as Governor of Wisconsin. The following is from Gov. Jim Doyle's website remembering his mother Ruth Bachhuber Doyle: "In 1948…she became one of the first women elected in the Wisconsin Legislature. She was the fourth generation of her family to serve…following in the footsteps of her father (Frank E. Bachhuber, 1933), grandfather (Andrew Bachhuber, 1885) and great-grandfather (Max Bachhuber, 1860, 1864 and 1875). The Bachhubers remain the only four generation family in Wisconsin history to win election to the state legislature."
According to the memoirs of Maximilian's son Hugo, the Civil War "laid a heavy hand on the family. When the draft came father and Uncle Lorenz Weix were assigned to the colors. Father was not so situated that he could go as his brother Johann had just died, so he availed himself of the privilege of furnishing a substitute and Uncle Joseph Engel went in his place. For this service father assigned to Uncle Joe a house and several acres of land."
The mysterious Johann. The family tree lists him as married to Frances Muenzner, however search of the databases and input from one of his descendants clearly indicates that Johann was in fact married to Franziska/Frances Lehneis. Why the Muenzner entry? His occupation was listed in the 1860 census as "Tavern Keeper". Johann was also called to serve in the Civil War but died of Typhoid Fever at the age of 30 before he could do so.
Barbara and Lorenz had another child, Emmeran, not listed on the tree. Emmeran was John's twin who died shortly after his birth in 1878. Lorenz was listed as a farmer on the 1860 census. He served in the Civil War as a Private in the 45th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment
Emmeran/Emeron--my great-Grandfather. What a name. Rare and, I trust, confusing to a lot of folks. Susan Drew's manifest actually had him listed (at least in transcription) as Emerencia. My German wife advised that Emeron is not a German name and it was only after much Googleing did I find that the version I could accept as a "good German" name was Emmeran, particularly apt for a boy born near Regensburg. See why at
Emmeran was a master harness maker but in 1869 he also owned a brewery. It was the same brewery that his father, Martin, owned from 1855-1868.

958 57698    From Helen Forbeck's files; THE FAMILY TREE January 1933
Wilbert Giesbers, husband of (Antoinette) Nettie Maas, died in Holland whi le still a young man leaving a very young family not even in their teen s. The widow operated a tavern in Holland to keep her family intact. The B urgermeister of Mill, Holland, suggested that the townspeople patronize t he widow's tavern as that was her only means of support. The struggling w as too difficult and we find her emigrating to America with her children:
Cornelius, Elizabeth Gerrits, John (Killed in Civil War) and Kate Vanden H euvel(John - Rank=Private, Co E, 6th Infantry, June 28, 1961…..enlisted in Appl eton, Wounded Sep 62, deserted 14 Sep 62 or 63)
(Kaukaulin Census 1950 - 685/733)
She sailed in 1848 on one of Father Vandenbroek's three sailing vessels. R ev. Vandenbroek was a missionary interested in the colonization of Holla nd Catholics in the Fox River Valley. It is believed he secured money eith er from the Foreign Mission Society at Washington or the Government at Was hington as well as from wealthy friends of his in Holland for the financi ng of this emigration from Europe. Migrating from Holland to Little Chu te was a trip which required three months. The passage fare was paid by so me although many were unable to pay at all.
The emigrating colonists, after landing in America, sailed up the Hudson R iver to Albany, New York, connecting there with the Erie Barge Canal, a ca nal which was dug from Albany, N.Y. to Buffalo and is still in existence t oday. The barges were horse drawn from a tow path on the canal bank -- a s low tedious journey taking a day between each stopping place. At each stop ping place a relief team of horses was hitched to the barge for another da y's travel, working in relays in this manner, until the canal trip was com pleted at Buffalo. Each stopping place was a day's journey. Although Fult on had invented the steamboat prior to this time, it is likely that saili ng vessels were used through the Great Lakes to Green Bay and from there t hey walked and used ox carts in going to Little Chute which was 25 miles s outhwest of Green Bay. The Fox River had no system of locks at that time m aking it unnavigable because of the rough rapids* and uncontrolled waters.
After settling, Mrs. Wilbert Giesbers married again to Mr.Van Niel and set tled along the riverbank. Mr. Van Niel had studied for the priesthood in A msterdam but did not attain his ambition because of an accident while trav eling which impaired his hearing. Because of his education, he was o ne of the leaders of Little Chute, and it was at his home that Rev. Vanden broek* made his headquarters while on his mission travels.
Cornelius married, lived on a farm west of Little Chute and later operat ed a tavern near the depot before moving to another farm in Wrightstown. C hildren were born as follows:
William 1854 in Green Bay 1854
Mary - Mrs. Albert Langenberg in Green Bay 1857
Hannah - Mrs. Anton Langenberg in Green Bay 1860
Arnold in Kaukauna l862
Nettie - Mrs. Henry Vandenheuvel in Kaukauna 1865
John in Kaukauna 1867
Jennie - Mrs. Herman Fink in Menasha 1870

1* Little Chute (Le Petit Chute) - the Little Rapids as the French earliercalled it when this area was part of French Canada before French & Indi an War 2* Vandenbroek Township - the area that surrounds the Village of Little C hute

Although the eldest boy was known as William, his real name was Wilber t. He spent many years of his boyhood with his grandmother, Mrs. Van Nie l, in Little Chute. As a young man he spent his winters in logging camps ( pinery) earning money financing his father's farm. With his experien ce in farming, he spent many years as the superintendent of the J. K. DeLa ney 160 acre farm which traded and sold horses. The Giesbers farm was so ld to a Mr. Redemacher and as of 1933 all the buildings remain intact. Wil liam's parents, Cornelius and Nettie, are buried in Green Bay.
Herman Finkenflugel along with his six (really five - one died earlier -hf f) children -- Henry, Barney, Gertrude, John, Johanna, and Mary, emigrat ed to East Boston, Mass, after the death of his wife in Holland. (Letter h ome to Holland from Hermanus and Henry's Civil War records state that s he died in Aug 14, 1849 in East Boston - hff.) He married Dora Kobussen w ho had a son, John (born in Little Chute) - (actually, John was born in Holland-hff). Dora died without bearing any children. (She had many children …..with Willem Cobissen in Holland - hff) Herman then moved to Appleton and worked in his nephew's cooper shop at Madison and Lincoln Streets in Appleton. He later moved to the "flats* and worked in Parker's stave factory. He married Marie (Mary) Lauterbach. The children were as follows: Kate-- Mrs. John Madigan born in Appleton, 18
Mary -- Mrs. William Giesbers born in Appleton, 1866
Herman born in Appleton
John born in Appleton
Anna -- Mrs. Ed Seager born in Appleton
Minnie -- Mrs. Joseph Merkel born in Appleton
Joseph born in Appleton
Their house was near the site of the present site of the car barns* not more than 100 feet from the small Memorial building where the first big commercial electric lighting plant began August 20, 1882. It is a matter of history that the Hoover Dam, Mussel Shoals, and other gigantic projects for creating electric power owe their existence to this Appleton unit so close to the Finkenflugel home.
When the family was still young, they purchased a farm in Dundas which was later sold when the family bought a farm in Wrightstown. The Wrightstown farm was across the fence from the Giesbers farm. Van Zeeland owns the farm but the original home and buildings are no longer standing. After the death of Herman Fink, his widow moved to Menasha.

LAUTERBACH
In 1847 the Lauterbach family came to America (possibly from Wiesbaden or Wehr, Germany) when their daughter Marie was just seven years old. It was reported that they had lived in the Alsase-Lorraine district. Matthew Lauterbach was a shoemaker by trade. After emigrating to America, they moved to a farm in Marytown, south of Chilton, Wisconsin, and east of Lake Winnebago. The children were as follows:
Kathryn -- Mrs. John Melcher Menasha Mary -- Mrs. Herman Finkenflugel 1840 Elizabeth -- Mrs. Fred Nabbenfeld 1841
Minnie -- Mrs. Henry Berrendes then
Mrs. Peter Hemmang Fond du Lac
Chris Green Bay Anna -- Sister Edesia, Milwaukee convent (Notre Dame Nuns)
From Marytown the family moved to Menasha. The father died, and his widow remarried a Mr. Schreiber and moved to Milwaukee. The children, especially the eldest, did not accompany them. Minnie became the housekeeper for Governor Doty and Marie (Mary) worked in Appleton and Menasha where she met Herman Fink1* "Flats" were the -- and still is the industrial heart of Appleton.2* Governor Dotv was the first Governor of Wisconsin after becoming a state.
Matthew Lauterbach is buried in Little Chute on the site of the present church and his wife is buried in Marytown.

LOOKING BACKWARDS, Solemn Event in Little Chute, 100 years ago
Quoted from the Appleton Crescent for July 15, 1871 Saturday, July 8th, and Sunday, July 9th, were days of great solemni ty at Little Chute.The Rt. Rev. Bishop of Green Bay gave confirmation to about 200 children, with a few grown persons, on Sunday afternoon, and blessed the new bell of the Catholic church in the afternoon. Accordingly, when the time came, the people of the place descended upon the railway station to welcome and receive the Bishop.When the cars arrived on Saturday, there was a crowd of more than 300 persons near the railroad. They formed into a line and escorted His Grace in grand procession, with banners floating in the breeze, to the pastoral mansion. Mr. J. C. Van Niel, leader on such occasions, appeared as Chief Marshall of the day in full uniform of a captain of the army of the Netherlands.His Grace seemed pleased with the reception, and so were the people.

Ray was born on September 20, 1927 to Henry and Marie (Gevers) VanDenHeuvel. Growing up he was proud to work on the family farm in West De Pere.
Ray graduated from Nicolet High School (now West De Pere High School) in May of 1946 as the Class President. Following school, he became interested in becoming an electrician. He learned under the mentoring of Harold Janssen (Electric).
When he was 23, Ray served in the Army for two years as an MP. He returned to West De Pere and purchased Harold's electrical company.
Ray and his wife of 61 years, Patricia (Geurts) VanDenHeuvel, married on August 15, 1953. Together they began a large family, several large businesses, and a dutiful existence.
His gift of business knowledge brought him to heights he never imagined. He would start several electrical companies and construction firms, combining them in the holding company of VHC, Inc.

In 1976, Ray was part of the De Pere Rotary Foundation that presented the Outstanding Student Scholarship Program, a tradition that continues to this day. His interest in education led him to be an instrumental force in developing the electrical programs at NWTC.
Ray spent his life helping others by providing thousands of jobs. He was particularly proud of the long-term relationships that he enjoyed with his employees and business partners.
Locally, Ray was a donor to many causes, particularly where the needs involved the handicapped or education.

973 58971    BIOGRAPHIE: from DeLellis M Sommers Strong - August, 1995 Our parents, Edward Sommers and Anna Pritzl, met while Anna was living with her invalid mother on the Bohman farm near Hortonville. After her mother passed away, they were married in St Patrick Church in Stephensville were they paid pew rent and sat in the second pew on the right hand side of church every Sunday. Anna sang in the choir for many years. They had bought a 120 acre farm just a few miles NE of Stephenville. They were very happy and enjoyed working on the farm, having a large garden, an orchard of Apple trees, Pear trees and grape vines, berry bushes and they raised chickens and ducks. Dad used work horses for many years. They then bought another 60 acres and a tractor and more machinery. In those days, the neighbors all went back and forth filling silos and thrashing. Mother and dad were blessed with 10 children. On October 6, 1926 twins Harold and Gerald were born at home on the farm. Harold lived 8 hours and Gerald 16 hours. Then there were DeLellis, Catherine, Dorothy, Edward Jr., Eugene, Eunice, Helen and John. Like all children, growing up on the farm, we learned to help every day, working right along with Ma and dad. We helped in the barn, fed the cows and the calves, and horses too, went up in the hay mow and threw the hay down, planted and weeded in the garden, went to the woods and gathered wood for the furnace. One incident I remember was Dorothy throwing wood down the cellar chute and a piece flew up and broke a porch window which scared us all to death. Dad came out, looked at it with a very sober, straight face, took it out, went to the shed, got a new glass, fixed it and never said a word. For three days, us kids were very careful how we did our work. We all walked to the Pershing Grade School, about 1 ½ miles each way. When we got to school, each child had to carry in an armful of wood. We would raise the flag, go next door to the cheese factory for pails of water to put in the water fountain. Our mother did most of all of our sewing, everything from pajamas to our beautiful plaid skirts. We had lots of feed bags that we bleached out, were sewn into aprons, bloomers or what-ever was needed. A lot of the flour sacks the girls hemmed up and did embroidery on them for dish towels and luncheon cloths. Ma even made her own soap using Eagle Lye. Out in the pump house, dad had his tool bench and shoe repair form. Whenever a sole came loose or a heel needed to be tacked on, he fixed it. Ma will always be remembered for all her baking. "Home Made Bread?" NO ! But home canning, making butter and kolatches. Many relatives would take a Sunday ride, stop to see Aunt Anna and Uncle Ed on the farm and have a meal. Oven baked chicken, home-made bread, fresh pies, etc. . and many times went home with something. For the 4th of July, our treat was a watermelon, and on New Years day, we had home made ice cream, made with the hand turned freezer, (Snow, with salt added) around the sides, and sometimes, Ma even put flavoring in. We had a raspberry and strawberry patch and had lots of orders for them as we delivered them too when we dressed chickens and ducks, took them to Appleton to private homes and to Gloudman & Gage (Clothing and grocery store). With the money, Ma did her grocery and clothes shopping. We always had plenty of food and also crates of peaches or whatever we needed. For the kids, dad planted a pickle patch. I'm sure it was more than an acre. What ever we picked, we would load them on the truck, and go to Greenville to the sorting machine. The money from this was ours for clothes, shoes and all of our school supplies. We had plenty of pickles, and one time I can remember we were getting sick of picking them, so once in a while, we would pull a vine out by the roots, hoping some would die, but no, that made the plant next to it grow bigger and with more pickles. We just couldn't get rid of this job. Ma did all of the home canning until later years, we got a freezer from a place in Manitowoc, for our meats and vegetables. We also had a room called the potato cellar. For many years Ma and dad made dandelion, grape and elderberry wine and a small glass every day was considered healthy. There were many times when we would bring friends home from school with us and there would always be plenty for us to eat and do. We had lots of pets to take care of, a dog, a mother cat and her kittens, bandy chickens and a small goat. The goat would watch the back door as he loved to run into the house with the kids, up the steps and jump on that old leather couch. In those days, there would be a "Barn Dance", and everyone came, danced all night and the neighbors enjoyed being together. Always on May 1st, we and the neighbor children would hang "May Baskets". As we grew up, found jobs and got married, Ma and dad sold the farm, moved to Shiocton for a few years and then moved to Appleton where Ma worked at the hospital and dad did different jobs. As of today , there are 5 of us children left to carry on and we all say; What a beautiful life growing up on the farm, learning to do so many things, the "daily Rosary", the Angelus. We are hoping we can pass this on to our children and grandchildren.
