Obituary from the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, Thursday, December 16, 1999.
Betty Jane Mittelstadt, 77, 120 James St., Beaver Dam, passed away at University Hospitals, Madison, on Tuesday, December 14, 1999, surrounded by her immediate family.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Dec. 18, at 11 a.m. at the Murray Community Funeral Home, Beaver Dam. The Rev. Fr. John Simon will officiate. Interment will be in St. Patrick's Catholic Cemetery, Beaver Dam.
Betty was born at 133 Roedl Court, Beaver Dam, on November 15, 1922, a daughter of Frank and Caroline (Ptaschinski) Kennedy. She attended the old Washington grade school, and later worked as a domestic. She was married to Franklin B. Mittelstadt on January 18, 1942, at Fort Lewis, Washington. After the war she lived for a time in the Veteran's Housing in Beaver Dam with her growing family, and in 1953 moved into the home on James St., where she has resided since.
She was a tireless, devoted mother, and inspired in her large family the qualities of loyalty, honest labor and discipline.

Betty planned the menus and cooked for many weddings and other events at the Labor Temple in Beaver Dam, which activities endeared her to, and earned her the respect of, many long-time friends. She made the best pie crusts in the world.
