HELENA WOCHNER
From Der Nord Westen, 09 Sept. 1909: (From the correspondent in St. Nazianz, 06 Sep.)
Death has taken another pioneer member from our midst. Mrs. Helen Wochner, who just two weeks ago had moved to Appleton to spend the evening of her life with her daughter, died there Saturday after a short illness. She was 81 and was among the first residents of St. Nazianz. She was blessed with 5 children of whom 2 are still living. Mrs. Frank Noworatzky of Appleton, and Miss Helena Wochner of St. Augusta, Minnesota, and other relatives were in the funeral procession held today from St. Gregory Church… (Several names of family members who attended the funeral are listed, but the typesetter has so scrambled the material as to render it useless.) She was laid to rest beside her husband who had preceded her in death many years ago. It is said that Mrs. Wochner knew President Abraham Lincoln and his in-laws as well as the Sewards. Her hometown was Springfield, Illinois, and her family lived in their
vicinity.
