- Gerner, Bertha M.
Bertha M. Gerner, age 100, of Stockbridge, died on Wednesday, January 16, 2008, at Chilton Care Center in Chilton. She was born November 24, 1907, in the Town of Brothertown, daughter of the late Matt "MJ" and Kate (Leitner) Buechel. She married Gordon J. Gerner on September 4, 1928, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Jericho. The couple farmed in the Town of Brothertown on the family homestead before retiring in 1980 when the couple moved to Stockbridge. The grandchildren have many fond memories of the times they spent with their grandparents on the farm. Gordon preceded her in death on May 22, 1998.
