Mrs. Koeser, known to her friends as "Grandma Koeser" was born Anna Ahrens in 1857 in the town of Kossuth. From 1862 to 1865, while her father was serving with the Union army, she, with her mother and younger brothers, were left to get along as best they could. During the 1870s she moved with her parents to a farm east of Shoto, which is still in the family owned by Mrs. Charles Ahrens.
In 1877 she was married to Henry Mueller and the couple moved to Two Rivers. Mr. Mueller died in 1896, leaving her with seven children. In 1907, she was married
to August Koeser, and he died in 1921.
In addition to her seven children, Mrs. Koeser also took care of a nephew, Ahrens Chadek, after his mother died. When she was married to Mr. Koeser his grandchild, Viola Koeser, now Mrs. Fred Goldenstedt of Marquette, Mich., lived with the Koesers.
Following the death of her youngest daughter, Mrs. Amanda Sattler, Mrs. Koeser reared the two Sattler daughters, who are now Mrs. Clyde Pfeffer of Manitowoc and Mrs. John Jaklin of Two Rivers.
Of her seven children, four survive their mother. They are Mary, who lives in Two Rivers; Mrs. Wesley Drescher of Wauwatosa; Mrs. Hugh McBrien of Manitowoc and a son, William, route 1, Two Rivers; three brothers, John Ahrens of Mishicot, George of Milwaukee, and Louise of Manitowoc; nine grandchildren; eight great grandchildren
and three great great grandchildren.
Mrs. Koeser was a lifelong member of the Emanuel Evangelical United Brethren church in Two Rivers, and until a few years ago was an active member of the Ladies Aid society.
