Rosina J. Lehner, the wife of Mathias Lehner and the mother of the 
Mathias and George Lehner (who also appear in the photos).
A daughter Rosina Lehner is buried at Hillside Cemetery, Chilton. Her
stone reads: Rosina Lehner 1857-1863. She doesn't show on either the
1870 or 1880 census because she died before they were taken.
Mathias Lehner died on Aug. 11, 1880 at Chilton. Also, the maiden name 
for Rosina Lehner (the mother) is Burger. The family entered the US 
via New York in 1857. The burial place of Mathias and Rosina have yet
to be found. They had 10 children.
*******
At her home in Brant on Thursday, July 13th, Mrs. Rosina Lehner, 
one of the pioneer women of this section, passed away suddenly and 
unexpectedly, her children who lived at a distance being unable to 
reach her bedside before death came. Mrs. Lehner had been in poor 
health for the past year but no immediate danger was anticipated. 
About a year ago while riding home from church the horse which she 
was driving shied and she was thrown from the buggy and while her 
injuries were not serious she had not been in robust health since. 
The recent extreme heat, in her delicate condition, seemed to use 
up all her vitality and without the least warning she succumbed to 
it.  
Rosina Burger was born Feb. 16, 1837, in Illingen, Wurtenberg, 
Germany, and counted among her ancestry some of the nobility of 
that country. She came to America in 1853 locating at Marion, Ohio, 
where she was married to Mathias Lehner in 1855 and shortly after 
came to Calumet county and located on the farm now owned by John 
Juckem near this city. They remained there until 1867 when they 
located on the farm in Chilton town on which she lived until her 
death. During the civil war the care of her family devolved upon 
her, her husband having gone to join the ranks of those who made 
the fight for the preservation of the union. This care and hardship 
necessitated by the war brought out and developed her many good 
traits of character. Her husband died August 11, 1880, and again 
the care of the family and homestead rested on her shoulders.  
She was a woman of remarkable executive ability, a good manager 
and made the farm home one of the prominent ones in the 
neighborhood, rearing her children in plenty and taking the place 
of both father and mother. She was respected in the neighborhood 
in which she lived so many years and appreciated by her children, 
all of whom except her son, Frank, who remained on the homestead, 
have left the roof tree and are now established in homes of their 
own. 
She was a Christian woman in the true acceptation of the word, 
giving to charity, benevolent and kind in her intercourse with 
her neighbors, true in her friendships and honorable in all her 
dealings. 
The funeral, which was one of the largest ever held in Brant took 
place at eh Brant M. E. Church, Rev. A. O. Nuss of Stockbridge 
officiating, with interment in the family lot in the Portland 
cemetery. 
The deceased is survived by six sons, John of Crivitz, George of 
Escondido, Calif., August of Fairbanks, Minn., Frank of Brant, 
Alfred of Duluth, Minn., Oscar of SanDiego, Calif., and two 
daughters, Mrs. A. J. Planz of Oshkosh and Mrs. G. O. Pingel of 
Stockbridge, also twenty-three grandchildren.  All the children 
were at the funeral except the sons in California who were unable 
to get here.

   It becomes the painful duty of The Times to record the death of F. 
   Mathias Lehner, who died at St. Luke s hospital in Duluth, Minn., on 
   Saturday, April 21. The young man was born July 24, 1863, in the town 
   of Chilton and was the third son of Mathias and Rosina Lehner. He spent 
   his boyhood days on the old homestead and in 1891 left for the north, 
   where he engaged in lumbering. A few years ago he located a homestead 
   near Duluth, and his prospects for the future looked bright. Some six months 
   ago he contracted a severe cold, which gradually grew worse. He visited 
   his old home and remained here a short time, improving so much in health 
   that he was able to return to Duluth to look after his property. Four months 
   ago he was taken with pneumonia and went to St. Luke s hospital, where 
   the best medical aid was procured, but he found no relief and the disease 
   caused his death. His mother was with him during his illness. 
   The remains were brought to the home of his mother, on Monday, and laid 
   in state until Tuesday, when the funeral took place from the M. E. Church in 
   Brant. He was a promising young man of industrious and steady habits and 
   has a faculty for making and retaining friends. 
   His death is deeply deplored by those who knew him.
