Biography:
NICHOLAS F. RETTLER, who is cultivating a good tract of farming property on section 16, Black Creek township, belongs to the younger generation of agriculturists of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, where he was born August 31, 1884, a son of Nicholas and Anna Maria Rettler. The parents of Mr. Rettler, natives of Germany, were married at West Bend, Washington county, and came to Outagamie county in 1868, settling in Black Creek township, on eighty acres of land, where they lived until 1886. In this year they purchased the property on which Nicholas F. Rettler now resides, and they worked the two properties until 1898, when the first purchase was deeded to their son, John J., and in the spring of 1909, the second eighty was deeded to Nicholas F. Mr. Rettler's father died June 30, 1909, in his sixty-fifth year, while Mrs. Rettler still survives, being sixty-five years old and making her home with her son Nicholas. The father was an agriculturist all of his life, and was one of those who helped to develop this part of Outagamie county from the wilderness, his property at the time of purchase being all a wild timber and brush land. He cultivated and cleared fifty acres of the first eighty acres and sixty-three acres of the other erected buildings, built fences and in many ways made these properties handsome and comfortable homes for his sons. He and his wife were the parents of nine children, namely: Mathew, who is married and has four children, living in Black Creek township; George, single, living in Black Creek township; John J., who is married and living in Black Creek township, having eight children; Elizabeth, twin of John J., who died at the age of two and one-half years; Emma, who married John Helein, of Kaukauna, and has four children; Frank, who died in infancy; Elizabeth (II), who died at the age of two years; Margaret, who married Andrew Anderson, living in Antigo, Wisconsin, and has two children; and Nicholas F.
Nicholas F. Rettler has been operating the homestead property since the spring of 1909, and has made a number of improvements on his property. He raises large crops, farming along general lines and using scientific methods, and markets dairy products, hogs and grain. He has been successful in raising good stock and ships these to the various markets. His fraternal connection is with the Modern Woodmen of America, and in politics he is a Republican, while the family has been connected with the Catholic Church for many years. Mr. Rettler has never married.

Jean L. Knauf, age 89 of Neenah, passed away Wednesday, October 12, 2016 at Thedacare Hospice, Cherry Meadows following a brief struggle with cancer. Jean was born on January 8, 1927 to Harold and Laura (Missling) Rettler of Appleton and graduated from West High School in 1944. After graduation, she worked for Tuttle Press Company, then went to the School of Business (currently Fox Valley Technical College) in Appleton for Business Management, Accounting, and secretarial training.
Jean was employed at St. Lawrence University of the Liberal Arts and Conservatory Music College as a secretary for the cafeteria food administration department for 10 years. She also worked as a secretary for the Calumet County Park Ski Club in 1955, where she met Nicholas T. Knauf of Chilton. They married on September 15, 1956 and recently celebrated their 60th anniversary.
Jean enjoyed being a good mother and wife, raising four children and making sure they always had a hot lunch to come home to during their formative school years, which was so appreciated by the kids and her husband. She was skilled at canning and freezing her garden produce, making preserves, and loved baking cookies and candy, which her family enjoyed immensely. She loved going up north to their cottage on Horse Head Lake in Oneida County to enjoy nature, fishing and boating.
Jean was the precise accountant and book-keeper of the family, a much appreciated skill also learned from her mother as the accountant of her family's business: Rettler Distributing.
Jean was a detailed seamstress and dabbled in upholstery to make special gifts for her children. She enjoyed reading, bowling, golfing, playing cards and picnics in the park. She loved family gatherings around the dinner table and was so giving and generous to her family and grandchildren. She always taught family to work hard at doing good; to be honest, caring, and lead by example; to be determined to do the best you can in your life for as long as you can, without undue complaint.
Jean is survived by her husband, Nicholas T. Knauf, age 92 of Neenah; and their four children: son, Karl Knauf and his wife Francie Wesley of Madison; daughter, Laurie and her husband Rory Givens of Appleton; son Gary Knauf and his wife Stephanie Ridgeway-Knauf of Bear Creek; and son, Mark Knauf of Oshkosh.
