MRS. SCHWERZLER was born in the province of Coblenz, Germany, Oct. 2, 1848. She immigrated to the United States with her family, landing in Buffalo, N.Y., May 13, 1851. From there they came westward, settling in Marytown, Calumet Co., in 1857. She was married to Erasmus Boll jan. 6, 1867, in St. Augustine’s Catholic church here.
The young couple acquiered at 100-acre tract of timber land of which 5 acres had been cleared. The rest was covered with a heavy stand of timber. Mr. Boll set for himself the heavy pioneering task of clearing all but fifteen acres of this area for cultivation. The fifteen acres of timber was left to supply firewood for home needs.
In those early days, Mrs. Schwerzler recalls the road about here was very indifferent wagon trails. Lumber wagons and bobsleighs pulled by oxen were the only means of transportation. No high-powered, shimmering automobiles then, and no roads over which they could be moved if they were to be had.

To Mr. and Mrs. Boll were born ten children, all but two of whom, Apoline and Mrs. Mary Walschmitt are living.
Charles Boll lives here in Chilton, Joseph Boll is at Charlestown, Frank Boll is at Charlesburg, William Boll makes his home in Boville, Idaho, Henry Boll is at Channing, Michigan, Richard Boll is in Milwaukee, George Boll, Congress, Saskatchewan, Canada, and Eleanor Boll (Mrs. Beyer; lives in Detroit.

Mrs. Schwerzler is as keenly interested as ever in Chilton and the doing of its people. She manages to keep herself informed by reading the papers. She has an excellent memory for dates and events and writes a very readable hand.
