Additional Notes by Tom Brocher:
Eva was raised as a Roman Catholic.
Eva was born at Butzdorf, Landkreis Merzig-Wadern, Saarland, Prussia on 15 August 1872; was christened nearby at Tettingen on 16 August 1872; died at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital, Two Rivers, Manitowoc Co., Wisconsin on 6 March 1964, of a cerebral hemorrhage aged 91 years [Taufebuchen, Book 3, page 30, no. 14; Manitowoc Co. VR, Deaths, vol. 59, p. 181, filed 18 Mar. 1964; Her Marriage Rec.; Her Obituary, Two Rivers Reporter, Sat. 7 Mar. 1964, Page M-9, Column 3].
Her baptism was witnessed by Eva ZEHREN of Gentser and Jacob BEINNIG of Butzdorf.
As a 2-year-old girl, Eva immigrated with her parents to the Port of New York in May 1875 on the Westphalia from Hamburg, Germany, settling at Mishicot, Manitowoc Co., Wisconsin, by 1880 [Filby, Lists of Passengers and Immigrants, p. 85-88; Her Obituary; 1900, 1910, and 1920 U.S. Censuses, Wisconsin, Manitowoc Co.].
She removed with her parents to LaFayette, Chippewa Co., Wisconsin, circa 1884.
Her marriage to Hans Peder BROCHER in an ecclesiastical service at Chippewa Falls, Chippewa Co., Wisconsin, on 14 November 1895, was witnessed by Andrew BROWN and Minnie LLOYD [Chippewa Co., Marr. Rec., vol. G, p. 314, filed 16 Nov. 1895].
Eva and her family lived at Merrill, Lincoln Co., Wisconsin, from 1900 until 1917, where they owned and operated a dairy farm.

Hans also worked at the beagle kennel for two years and was able to send the children to parochial schools at Two Rivers. Eva and family were enumerated there in the 1920 US Census on 13 Jan. 1920.
After Han's death, Eva remained at Two Rivers for the rest of her life, where she was engaged for a number of years as a practical nurse by Dr. A.M. FARRELL [Her Obituary].
She petitioned the Probate Court at Manitowoc Co., Wisconsin, on 18 December 1923, for a settlement of the estate of her husband. Her petition mentions all of her surviving children, all were residents of Two Rivers. The petition states that Hans owned two properties, one at Merrill, Lincoln Co., Wisconsin, and the other at Two Rivers, Manitowoc Co., Wisconsin.
In 1930, Eva shared a residence at 1801 29th St., Two Rivers with her married son Roland, and unmarried children Henry, Eva, Wilfred, and Mary V. (Vione). Daughter Eva worked as a cleaner at the library, son Henry was a boat engineer, and daughter Eva worked as a bookkeeper for an engine factory.
