Having completed a life that was linked with the development of Sheboygan and Manitowoc Counties from early pioneer days up to the present progressive period, MRS. CHRISTINA DHEIN, 90, died of old age at 3 p.m. Friday in the Anna M. Reiss Home for the Aged, after having been slowly declining in health for six months.
A pioneer settler of the towns of Herman and Mosel, Mrs. Dhein was among the best known pioneers of the county and her death will be mourned by many who loved her for her endearing, motherly characteristics.
The funeral will be held Tuesday from the Fidelis Catholic church in the town of Meeme, Manitowoc County, with burial in the North Side Catholic cemetery of Sheboygan.
Mrs. Dhein was born February 16, 1834 at Gundersbloom, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, and came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Will to this country at the age of 16, the family settling on a farm in the wilderness of what is now known as the town of Herman.
When 20 years old, she was married to Joseph Dhein and the young couple began the clearing and cultivation of a farm of their own in the town of Mosel where they resided until 1888 when they retired and went to live at St. Nazainz. Twenty years ago, Mr. Dhein passed away at Erdman where they had moved in 1901 to reside with their son, Andrew Dhein.
A year after her husband’s death, Mrs. Dhein went to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Matthew Hauch in the town of Meeme, her son Andrew, having sold his farm and moved to Mellen, Wis. Mrs. Dhein continued to reside in Meeme until seven years ago when, as one of the first citizens to be admitted she came to the Anna M. Reiss Home for the Aged in this city.
As evidence of the lack of development of this section of the state at the time of Mr. and Mrs. Dhein’s marriage in 1854, it is recorded that a Catholic priest went out on horseback from Sheboygan to a log cabin on what is now Highway 17, about ten miles north of the city, to conduct the wedding ceremony. The cabin was owned by the late William Knauf and was then the largest building in that vicinity. Six years ago the log structure was razed by its latest owner, Jacob Wagner.
The survivors of Mrs. Dhein are a son, William Dhein, Sr., of Chilton, and a daughter, Mrs. Anna Hauch, town of Meeme; twenty grandchildren and thirty great grandchildren. – Sheboygan Press-Telegram, Sept. 20th
