AMBROSE OSCHWALD, REV. DEATH OF FATHER OSWALD From the Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, March 6, 1873 P. 4 On Thursday, at 7 o’clock, a.m. Feb. 27th, 1873, at the Settlement in the town of Eaton, the Rev. Father Ambrose Oswald, aged 72 years. The deceased was universally beloved, not only by his flock, but was widely known and revered all over the County, as the founder of the church, nunnery, and other religious institutions at the settlement. The close relations of a Catholic priest to his people gives him power for good which, the late Rev. Father ever used with the greatest discretion and affectionate interest, both in affairs temporal and spiritual of all under his care. His loss will be deeply felt and sincerely mourned by all those, who for almost a quarter of a century, have received consolation, advice and warning at his hands, as priest, guide and friend. The funeral services were held Monday March 3d, at the new church, a concourse of over two thousand people testifying the respect and affection in which he was held throughout the County. Father Mutz officiated, aided in the solemn and impressive ceremonies of the Church by thirteen priests from the different parishes in this part of the state. We can give nothing like an extended or minute description of his life or the work in which his life was spent, as the attendant grief and confusion was such that we could not gather the necessary data for the details. But the flourishing condition of the settlement as a religious institution, and his reputation in curing the sick, who came from far and near to be healed, will speak eloquently for him and endear his memory to thousands. In him the church has lost a well-beloved Son, a constant worker in her cause and his flock and parish, a faithful guide, who has spent years, of unselfish devotion to their best interest.

FOUNDER ST. NAZIANZ IN NEW RESTING PLACE
Priest Who Founded St. Nazianz Moved to New Mausoleum
St. Nazianz, Wis. -- While hundreds in surrounding counties and in other parts of the state awaited the annnouncement of the hour, the body of Father Ambrose Oschwald, founder of this village and the Salvatorian seminary just south of here, was quietly transferred last week from the crypt beneath the sanctuary of the old seminary church to the new mausoleum prepared for it on the southern slope of the little hill nearby. Interest in the transfer had been greatly enhanced by an old tradition which held that the body of Father Oschwald, who since his death in 1873, has been venerated as a saint, had never decomposed. The belief never has been held by the priests at the seminary; nor has credence in it been encouraged by them. Nevertheless, large numbers of the parishioners had clung to the legend. 
Removal Kept Secret
The fathers for several years had been considering removing the body from its resting place which since the erection of the new St. Ambrose Church, had not been considered a suitable location for it. The lingering belief in the old tradition, however, made the removal a delicate matter and it was only when building operations now underway at the seminary made the transfer practically imperative, was it decided to disturb the sacred tomb. 
To preclude the morbid curiosity that would have attended the removal, had the news of the hour been broadcast, the fathers kept their plans secret and when all was in readiness, a little band of priests followed by a few laymen, conveyed the casket up the hill to the new mausoleum.  Upon removing the front of the old tomb it was found that the panels forming the foot of the casket were about to fall apart due to the rusting away of the fastenings. It was necessary to bind the panels in place, as those directing the work were desirous of keeping the old casket intact instead of transferring the body to a new one. The casket was then conveyed to the entrance of the old church, where all the members of the community, including the students, sisters and others, could view the remains through the glass. The casket was draped in black and carried by six workmen to its new resting place. Before placing the casket in the new tomb both the tomb and the casket were blessed by the father superior who also offered a few prayers for the peaceful repose of the soul of the departed leader. 
Tomb Will be Shrine
The mausoleum is on the southern slope of Loretto Hill at the top of which sets the Loretta Chapel. The chapel marks the last of the 14 stations of the cross which are situated at various turns of a path leading up the other side of the little hill from a small lake northwest of the seminary. Built of tile and reinforced concrete, the mausoleum is sufficiently large to accommodate several worshipers at a time. At the farther end is a tomb of brick and concrete into which the casket was placed and sealed. Directly in front of the tomb is an iron grill to be kept locked to exclude the public. Between the outer entrance and this grill is an antechamber where visitors may view the tomb and worshippers kneel to pray.  The mausoleum is so situated that it will be directly beneath the sanctuary of a large chapel that is some day to be erected on the hill. 
Led German Immigrants
Father Oschwald was born in 1801 in Baden, Germany. He was ordained to the priesthood when 32 and later gathered about him a little group organized under the name of the Emigration Association of St. Gregory Nazianzen. Dissatisfied with the religious persecution and wars of revolution in their own country, the little band, which included 113 besides Father Oschwald, sailed in 1854 for America.  The group came out to Milwaukee from New York and while at Milwaukee arranged for the purchase of a tract of land now occupied by the colony. After many hardships, the village of St. Nazianz was founded, consisting of a few log homes for the married members of the immigrants. The others, who wished to devote their life to their religion built a chapel near here and laid the foundations of the present seminary. Father Oschwald was the guiding spirit and held the little community together during the early years of hardship. He was not only the religious leader but the business head of the colony as well and in addition to this served as doctor and nurse for the sick.

DELANO H. RISTOW Delano H. Ristow, age 83, of Kiel, passed away at his home on June 29, 2017 surrounded by his family after battling cancer. Born in the city of Oshkosh on November 23, 1933 to the late John and Grace (Grunewald) Ristow. Del attended Oshkosh schools, graduating from Oshkosh High School. He then moved up to Northern Wisconsin where he purchased 20 acres on a lake and built a house near Lake Tomahawk, WI. Del met Mary Ann Ehlenbach, originally from Milwaukee, and they were united in marriage on February 11, 1956. They celebrated 61 years of wonderful marriage together and were blessed with 5 children, 14 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. They moved into the house he was building in Northern Wisconsin where they resided for three years. Del worked in the construction industry and when work became scarce in the Northern area in the 1950's, they moved towards the big city of Milwaukee and settled in Menomonee Falls, where they resided for 10 years. Del said they would move to the country again someday, as they loved the open wilderness of the north. Del began working for a large industrial construction company in Milwaukee. In 1968 he drove to the Kiel area with a friend who wanted to buy a small farm and in driving around, he then discovered the wilderness of STEINTHAL VALLEY, which was quite barren 50 years ago. He then brought Mary Ann and the children up to walk the hills the next day, as he was excited about his discovery. STEINTHAL was originally a tiny German settlement in 1854, with a country general store, post office, saw mill, blacksmith shop, shoe maker, and ice house, and a few log houses, located in the center of the valley. Over the years many of the buildings disappeared but, much later the country general store building became the local tavern. That and the ice house building were still standing. Del and Mary Ann purchased one of the old houses in the valley and moved to the area in 1968. Together with their young children they began to clean and beautify the valley by replanting thousands of trees with the help of the boy scouts, building a dam to enlarge bodies of water and removing old deteriorated and burned homes. Del established Ristow Roofing Company with Mary Ann in 1970, working projects over four states including work on the state capital building in Madison in 1973. He was very knowledgeable in the newest types of roofing materials and in 1982 he invented a new type of roof system that he patented and named UNIRAIL Roof Systems. Del also formed a roof consulting service RSA Associates Inc. (Roofing Systems Analysts). In 1983 he formed R&D Industries Inc. with partners to market UNIRAIL Roof Systems. In 1974 they purchased the old boarded up Steinthal Tavern in the center of the valley. After 2 ½ years they remodeled the old building, it became Steinthal Valley Lodge, a beautiful dinner club. They sold it after 20 years and 7 months later the 150-year-old landmark burned to the ground. They repurchased the corner land afterwards and in 2008 built a beautiful religious chapel in the valley. Del retired after 35 years in business and his son took over the company. He now had a chance to travel on his Harley, which he loved to take on a trip out west each year. He found a piece of land up in the mountains of Wyoming where he built his dream log cabin, "away from the world" as he would say. Del loved the wilderness and traveled to the cabin often. In 1988 Del also built his own custom-made Harley motorcycle. Delano is survived by his wife: Mary Ann; five children: Denise (Charles) Deibele of Kiel, Daniel (Cheryl) Ristow of Seal Beach, CA, Debra Blair of Boulder CO, Dale (Kylie) Ristow of Kiel, Daryl (Jacqueline) Ristow of Appleton, WI; 13 grandchildren: Luke, Paul and Eric Deibele, Lindsey and Jacquie Ristow, Danielle, Alex, Rachel, Elisabeth and Kaiden Ristow, Steven and Lehna Ristow and one great-grandchild: Aliyah Ristow. He is further survived by one nephew: David Veith; one sister-in-law and brother-in-law: Rita and Thomas Lester; cousins: Billy Ristow, Robert Gomal, Jon, Jay and Jack Grunewald, Jan (Grunewald) Manweiler, Karin (Grunewald) Walters, and his faithful friend and good buddy Gary Roeh, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his father and mother: John and Grace Ristow; one sister: Rhoda (Ristow) Veith; two daughters-in-law: Maria Ristow and Diana Ristow, and one grandson: Michael Ristow. Funeral Service for Del will be held at 11:00AM on Monday, July 3, 2017 at St. Gregory Catholic Church, St. Nazianz. Officiating at the Mass of Christian Burial will be Rev. Patrick Nelson S.D.S. with burial to follow in the church cemetery.
