Death record: ALTHEN Christina Feb 13 1903 v.7 p.143
(Note: The following obits appear to be for Christina, however, the dates are about 2 weeks later than her death. I'm including them, as they were linked to her name in the cemetery transcription records. It's worth noting that the obit says she leaves 4 children, however, the 1900 census shows 10 children living.)

Per 1880 census, Mishicott - She was age 40, husband was Henry age 43. 9 children: Sophia (20), Charlotte, Christina, Catherine, Henry, John, Mima, Louisa (4), & George (1 mo).

Maiden name:
A contributor/relative when providing info about her daughter Louisa, gave the maiden name of "Bender". However it appears (census's) there were 2 Christine Althen's living in the same area, both married to Henry/Heinrich. One was maiden name Bender, the other Meiner, per birth/marriage records. Both husbands died, 1893 & 1895. They were about 15 years apart in age, one born in Wisc., the other in Germany. Based on info found, Christina was born Meiner in Germany.)
(Note: located obituary for Carl Althen, stating his parents were Henry & Christina Meines Althen. He was b. 24 May 1882 in Mishicott...same year as Julius. However, he appears in no census with the family, nor could he & Julius be born in 1882, diff. months. 1900 census, he was born May 1883, and was listed on the farm next to his mother's as a servant. If he were her son, she would have 11 children, not 10 as per the 1900 census.)
