Franzke, Johanna BEATE

1838 - 1925  (86 years)

• Name	Franzke, Johanna BEATE
  Birth	21 Dec 1838
  Gender	Female
  Biography	Born in Breslau, Schlesian, Prussia, which is now Wroclaw, Poland Known as Beate (Bay-ta). Gave birth to 12 children, but three died at or shortly after birth, two teen daughters died in period of six months from "Black Diptheria" plague, and one son died of plague in early adulthood. One other son died in his thirties. Only five children lived to full adulthood and were alive at the death of their parents, Gottleib and Beate. The first two of her children were born and died in Germany, the next two in Waukesha, WI, one dying, and the rest on the homestead in Forest Junction, WI. See spouse for homestead information. Beate was raised as a Roman Catholic, but apparently converted to Protestantism in 1870, some years after marrying Gottleib. They both joined the Zion's Evangelical Church at Forest Junction, WI, and may have been among the founding families in 1866. It was originally founded and built in 1866 where the Forest Home Cemetery stands, but was moved in 1895 to its current site, building on land owned by a son. It later became Zion Evangelical United Brethren, and eventually Zion United Methodist. Many church records were unfortunately lost when the church safe was stolen. It should be noted also, that Beate's parents and brothers and sisters all eventually came to the U.S. within a few years.

  Obituary	Aft 27 Oct 1925
  The following is from a newspaper article upon her death: Borne on the last earthly journey by six sturdy grandsons who served as pallbearers, the remains of Mrs. Beate Stanelle were committed to their final resting place in Forest Home Cemetary northwest of the village last Friday afternoon. At one o'clock there were brief religious services at the old home, an imposing structure which was one of the first large farm houses to be erected in this community more than thirty years ago. Services were continued at the Evangelical Church where the local pastor, the Rev. H. A. Franzke, assisted the Rev. A. C. Rabehl of Neenah, both of them relatives of the deceased. Rev. Franzke delivered a German sermon, while Rev. Rabehl spoke in English. Beate Stanelle, nee Franzke, was born near the city of Breslau in the Province of Silesia in Germany. Married to Johann Gottleib Stanelle in 1859, they came to America in 1862, settling first near Waukesha and then to their present location in Forest Junction and the town of Brillion. It was here that residence was maintained throughout the past 59 years, where the husband died in 1923, and where Mrs. Stanelle breathed her last on October 27, 1925. Although an invalid for a long time, her condition showed no change that morning at 6 o'clock, but when her room was checked at 7:30 o'clock, she had already expired. Relatives surviving include one daughter, four sons, 57 grandchildren, and 27 great-grandchildren. Nine children preceded their parents in death, three in Germany and six in the town of Brillion.
