LESTER C. DEHNE

Lester C. Dehne, age 91, of 10208 Centerville Road, Newton, died Easter Sunday, April 16, 2006, at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center, Manitowoc, after complications resulting from a fall. He was born Sept. 14, 1914, in the town of Centerville, son of the late Charles and Henrietta (Becker) Dehne in a log home out in Centerville. The family, which consisted of nine siblings, was building the new homestead located just in front of the cabin. He told the story many times about how he was the last one to be born in it. His comment was that he went through the fifth grade ... ""in one door and out the other."" He worked for the CCC during the depression times, until one day he got hired at the Manitowoc Shipyards, as a welder. He worked there until his retirement after 38 years. The day that he celebrated that retirement, he hung his welding bib overalls and jacket up on his flagpole out at his Newton residence. That really was just a beginning of his best talent, welding for his relatives and friends. He is the only person I knew that put homemade additions on his garages. He loved to tinker around with cars and parts so much that his yard was famous for looking like a junkyard. He was somewhat of an inventor, making weather vanes made of soup ladels; welding extensions on tools; have a snowblower that blew snow higher that his two story house; and a tractor for his daughter, Karen, that could pull a small utility trailer behind it. Many a person got a ride in that trailer up at Shawano on vacations. His first love was being a backyard mechanic. He should have had stock in JC Whitney. He said that his first car was a junker that he replaced all the parts until he had a good running automobile. At one time, he had a list of every car that he ever owned, which was about 200. And not one of them was ever brand new. I might add that in these last few years he drove like a snail, but at one time there was no one who could keep up with him on a country dirt road. He left you in the dust. He never had an accident either. The only problem with self inventors was that he was the only one who could fix or repair his ""re-dones,"" such as the furnace that he designed from a space heater into a floor furnace when he lived in the city of Manitowoc. He was a man with a wonderful sense of humor. That was still evident after he recovered from his surgery at the hospital. For many years in his younger days, he was the life of every party, sneaking off at weddings and anniversaries and coming out dressed in a hula skirt and top. He would go into the bathroom at a small tavern, and while he was in there, as a joke he would scream and laugh like a woman and then walk out afterwards as if nothing happened. He was the darndest man to understand because he spoke only loud enough for himself to hear. He would tell a story and laugh and you just had to laugh along with him. He was an excellent welder and could clearly tell you about the cranes and oil tanks that he welded on, and the places he was sent to work on them. He welded on every submarine that was ever made at the shipyards, and attended every launching. He could read a blueprint better than most, and learned that on the job. He was the father of six children from his first marriage to Mabel Sommers (deceased) and became a father to a daughter, Pamela, in his second marriage to Mildred Morgan. In that marriage he also became a stepdad to a wonderful son, Bob. He was grandpa to numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter, and proud of every one of them. He had a five-generation picture that he carried around in his wallet. His most loyal friends were his dog, Peanuts, and his junkyard cat. Meaning no offense, but he was a stubborn German and remains that way right to the end. He was also soft and caring when it came to his kids, and was ready for a big hug and kiss. He learned to show affection and shed a tear now and then, but that was quickly rubbed away. He never forgot to say thank you, and his last conversation mentioned that he wanted to thank everyone who helped him when he had his fall upstairs. The rescue team had to bring him down his steep stairway in the house on a chair. His wife stated that he wasn't complaining of any pain. She said that he acted like to was a king and smiled and waved to her as they carried him out the door. He didn't have much for possessions, but what little that was of value to him, he kept in a cigar box. He couldn't afford gifts for everyone, but he used to sneak a half-dollar coin into the grandkids' hands until there got to be too many of them. He was a simple man who offered you a shot of Vermox at every Christmas. He said that was what kept him going for 70 years. It must have been good for preventing arthritis because he had none anywhere. He could squat straight down as graceful as a ballerina, and then when coming back up, he would pretend that he was pulling himself up on an imaginary rope, hand over hand. His famous walk was his slow motion walk, taking huge steps just as smooth as any of the best mimes. God said that it was time, and I think he was ready. He said don't try to revive me if my heart should stop cuz when you're dead, you're dead. Just let me go. When asked one day what were his favorite hymns, without hesitancy, he said, ""As far as I'm concerned, they're all good ones!"" There isn't anyone who can say a bad word about him. And he never had a bad word to say about anyone else. The best moment in his life was celebrated when 100 people came to his house party on his 90th birthday. He even bought his own boutonniere. He is survived by his wife: Mildred ""Millie,"" and his children: son-in-law: Mike Petersen, Manitowoc, daughter: Shirley (DuWayne) Wolf, Kaukauna; daughter: Karen (Jerry) Newhouse, Appleton; son: Bob (Rose) Morgan, Reedsville; son: Wayne (Kate) Dehne, Manitowoc; daughter: Patty Dehne, Manitowoc; son: LeRoy (Ruth) Dehne, Combined Locks; and daughter: Pamela Dehne Chizek, Manitowoc; 27 grandchildren; 41 great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; a brother: Arvin (Mary) Dehne, Manitowoc; and a sister-in-law: Shirley (John) Nelesen, Sheboygan. Lastly, he was survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and an abundance of friends. He was also preceded in death by two daughters: an infant daughter, Yvonne Dehne; Bernadine Petersen; a son-in-law: Dale Chizek; a great- grandson: Harley Schrank; four brothers: Walter (Ida), Emil (Helen), Arno (Lydia) and Alfred Dehne; three sisters: Viola (Hugo), Laura (William), Arlie (Howard); and two brothers-in-law: Russell (Shirley) Morency and Harold Morency.

JOHN C. JANING

John Janing, Blacksmith at Newton 51 Years, Dies
John C. Janing, 73, the widely known village blacksmith here for 51 
years until his retirement about two years ago, died at 4:30 a.m. today 
at St. Nicholas Hospital, Sheboygan.
In failing health since his retirement, Mr. Janing had been taken to the 
hospital Sunday.
Born at Unity, Wis., June 15, 1881, he was a son of the late Frederick 
and Ernestina Wiegand Janing. When a boy of 4, he moved with his parents 
to Newton where his father set up a blacksmith shop in the center of this 
Manitowoc County village. As a boy of 15, he began working with his father 
in the shop and in 1901, upon his father’s death, took over the trade of 
shoeing horses, making wagons and repairing farm implements. 
With the exception of several years during which he engaged in farm work, 
Mr. Janing had continued to operate the blacksmith shop for 51 years until 
failing health forced him to discontinue the heavy work.
Life of Hard Work 
The village smithy liked to recall the “good old days” in the trade when, 
during busy seasons on the farm, he would be up at 2 a.m., turning out 
regular work by 6 o’clock, thus enabling him to shoe 10 or more horses in 
the course of a regular working day. 
When he started in the trade everything was done by hand. However, in late 
years he became a handy man with a power hammer, arc welding outfit, electric 
grinder and numerous other tools that have replaced muscles. 
As a result of the mechanizing of farm work, Mr. Janing shod his last horse 
some five years ago. During his young days he could boast of having sharpened 
35 plow shares a day.
When he began shoeing horses the price per job was only about 15 to 20 cents. 
It had risen to $2 several years ago.
After his retirement Mr. Janing sold his shop to Henry Rodewald, also of 
Newton. Although the building still stands along Highway 141 here, it is not 
being used as a blacksmith shop. All of Janing’s tools and equipment have been 
sold elsewhere. 
On June 9, 1904, he married the former Augusta Nagel of the Town of Liberty. 
The couple observed its golden wedding anniversary the past June.
Funeral Thursday 
Janing was the founder and an active member of the Blacksmith’s Association. 
Surviving are his wife; five daughters, Mrs. Robert (Esther) Hoegger of Sheboygan 
Falls, Mrs. Anita Klister of Sheboygan, Mrs. Emil (Elvira) Kerwin of Kohler, 
Mrs. Gordon (Irene) Keifer of Tucson, Ariz., and Mrs. Kay (Lorraine) Hinz of 
Hika; 17 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. 
Also surviving are four sisters, Mrs. Henry Bub and Mrs. Otto Fenn of  Sheboygan, 
Mrs. Emma Schroeder of Manitowoc, and Mrs. Henry Ecke of Dorchester, Wis. 
One daughter preceded him in death. 
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at Salem Ebenezer and Reformed Church, 
Newton, with the Rev. K. J. Stuebbe, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in St. 
John Cemetery, Centerville.
Friends may call at the Stoltenberg Funeral Chapel, Cleveland from 2 p.m. 
Wednesday until 11 a.m. Thursday and after that at the church.

FRED A. KIELSMEIER

PIONEER CO. CHEESEMAKER PASSES AWAY 
Fred Kielsmeier, Centerville, Established One of First Plants 
Frederick Kielsmeier, pioneer in the development of the dairying industry 
of Manitowoc county, who established one of the first cheese factories and 
later creameries in the county at Centerville, died at the hospital last 
night, just one week after he had been removed there for treatment. Death

1878, after his marriage to Metta Bahr, daughter of August Bahr, purchased 
a general store at Centerville. M. Kielsmeier closed the saloon connected

in the environment of the saloon. He built a cheese factory at Centerville 
in 1884 and became active in the organization of the dairy industry in the 
county, being closely associated with Herman Smith, pioneer dairyman of 
Sheboygan county and founder of the cheesemakers school at Madison. In 1903, 
Mr. Kielsmeier interested himself in the building of a creamery, on site of 
his old home, but in 1904, he returned to farming, continuing until 1914, 
when he retired. 
Served on Co. Board. 
Although he refrained from active participation in politics, Mr. Kielsmeier 
served his town on the county board and was a director of the Mutual Insurance 
Co. and of his bank for many years. He was respected by all who knew him and 
was recognized for his honesty and his strong convictions which he was always 
ready to uphold. He was much interested in the dairy development and gave of 
his time and means to build up the organizations working in the interest of 
that industry.
Leaves Widow, Six Sons.
Mr. Kielsmeier was the father of seven children, six sons who with his wife 
survive, and a daughter who died eighteen years ago, Mrs. F. Lutzke. The sons
