JOHN WENNER John Wenner one of the first white men to settle in the northen portion of the county died at his home a few miles south of Mishicott last Wednesday. It was reported that he had died of small-pox, as one of his daughters was down with that disease, but such, it is now stated, is not the case as he died of consumption, a disease more fatal and more relentless, if less dreaded. He had suffered therefrom for the past two years. Owing to the fact that there was small-pox in his house his funeral was not a public funeral. This his many friends deeply regret as there are many of the old settlers of the county who would have been pleased to show their esteem and respect for him by attending. He settle in Mishicott nearly sixty years ago when its original forests were untouched and when wild game and wild Indians were plentiful. He saw the forests cleaned away and the wilderness made to blossom as the rose. Only one or two of those who came here when he did are now left, all the others having gone before to join the "silent majorty."

WILLIAM WENNER WM. WENNER ENDS LIFE ON FARM HOME. Despondent Over Ill Health, Town of Mishicot Farmer Takes Life Early Today. Despondent over ill health which gradually wore down his strength, William Wenner, 78, pioneer resident of the town of Mishicot, committed suicide at an early hour this morning by hanging himself from an apple tree near the house as his son Louis, with whom he resided, was busied with the morning chores in the barns nearby. The body of his father was discovered by Louis Wenner as he was returning to the house and cut down immediately, but life was already extinct. William Wenner, a widower for the past 12 years, has always been a resident of the town of Mishicot, having been born and brought up on the homestead where he lived all his life and which is located a mile out of the village of Mishicot toward Two Rivers at Steiner's Corners, on Highway 163. He was born Nov. 21, 1852. Three Sons Survive The deceased had been in failing health for the past several years and lately he had been growing worse. He arose with his son early this morning but remained at the home when Louis Wenner went to the barns to do the morning chores.

Manitowoc Herald Times, Tuesday, September 28, 1948 P. 2 ******** Taught School Class In 1868 Among the leading contenders for the honor of being one of the earliest living Manitowoc county teachers is Mrs. Fred Westgate, 84, who makes her home with a daughter, Mrs. Loyal E. Nelson, Green Bay. Mrs. Westgage, the former Eliza Ann Riley, taught in the old Westgate school on the upper Mishicot road on the way to Larrabee for eight months in 1868. Jere Crowley was superintendent at that time and his daughter taught the same school the year before Miss Riley was appointed to the position. The school was a log building opposite the Adoniram Judson Westgate home. The salary was twenty dollars a month. The school was in the district later divided into Mishicot and Gibson. Mrs. Westgate was born in Neshoto September 9, 1851. She was the oldest of seven children born to Hughin Riley and Martha Burgess Riley, who came from Manchester, England, in 1848. Mr. Riley served in the civil war under Captain Joseph Smith and marched with Sherman to the sea. After the war he was mustered out of the army and marched with his fellow soldiers in review before President Lincoln in Washington. Lincoln shook hands with all of them, Mrs. Westgate recalls. After her marriage to Fred E. Westgate in 1874, Mrs. Westgate live in Boston with her husband for six years. The couple then returned to Wisconsin and purchased a farm near Kings Bridge, where they lived for some fifty years. Mrs. Westgate's six children all started out as teacher, following her life-long hope. Mrs. Westgate is hale and hearty and hopes to attend the Manitowoc Centennial Celebration this year. She expects her six children home to visit and plans on making this a real summer for celebration. An interesting sidelight about Mrs. Westgate is the fact that she has been a passenger in almost every mode of transportation. As a girl she rode in an ox-cart. Since then she has ridden in a horse cart, a side wheel boat, horse and buggy, horseback, automobile and airplane. Of her tirp in the airplane, which she took in Marshfield in 1931, she says: "It was fine--but not long enough." Manitowoc Herald Times, Tuesday, June 23, 1936 P.24

She was one of "The Greatest Generation", losing a fianc? to World War II and marrying a veteran of WWII in 1946. Kitty, the only child of the late Wilbert and Caroline Moseler Hussong, was born November 7, 1924 in Two Rivers. Kitty Hussong and Edward Wichlacz were married on October 19, 1946 after meeting at Eggers Plywood Co. in Two Rivers. Part of Kitty's job was to work in the first aid room where she met Ed and patched up his injured hand. They resided in Two Rivers until April of 1952, when they moved to their long time residence on Tannery Rd in Mishicot and raised their family. She is survived by her daughter, Jane and son-in-law, Steven Dassey, Metairie, La; and her son, Scott and daughter-in-law, Vicki Wichlacz, Manitowoc; grand- daughter, Sara and her husband, Tim and great-grandson, Evan Haney, Calgary, Alberta, Canada; her son, Tom and daughter-in-law, Kim Wichlacz, granddaughters, Abby and Katelyn and grandsons, Drew and Jacob, Mishicot.

Sara was Kitty's reason to get out of bed each morning after Ed's death on December 2, 1984. She said, "Life goes on. I have this little girl to take care of and I will be ok." That was the beginning of the eternal bond that still remains between Sara and Grandma Kitty.

Mrs. Wuellner was away when her husband killed himself having gone to Mishicot to consult a physician and get medicine for him. Upon her return she found the children searching for their father.

FREDERICK G. YOUNG Frederick George Young, Age 85 years, died peacefully September 17, 2009, following a brief illness. Preceded in death by his wife and soulmate of 62 years, June (nee Henley) in 2007. Survived by three children: Michael, Robert and Penny; six grandchildren: Angus, Adam, Monique, Sarah, Christa, Tegan and Morgan; three great-grand- children and his loving partner and companion of six years, Maria Olson. Born July 29, 1924 in Manchester England, he enlisted for 14 years in the Royal Navy at age 16. In 1956 he immigrated to Canada with his family, obtained his professional license as a mechanical engineer and spent his career in a variety of positions within the power industry. His life took him through three countries and multiple states culminating with retirement on his long cherished property in Two Creeks, Wisconsin. An avid sailor, bicyclist and skier he embraced life with zest. Whether ballroom dancing with his wife, communicating through ham radios across the globe or exploring the modern world of computers, he embraced all pursuits with passionate enthusiasm. Relentless in his pursuit of life-long learning, he took up kayaking in his late seventies and obtained his motorcycle license at the age of 82. He lived by the premises that there was nothing you could not learn from a book and nothing broken that could not be fixed. He was the true Renaissance Man. When Alzheimer's stole his life mate away, he discovered the second love of his life, Maria. He was wondrous of his good fortune and cherished her wit, her warmth and her passionate embrace of life. His family will be eternally grateful for her loving care in his final days. He will be sorely missed but the legends of his life and his undaunting spirit will live on in his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and generations to come. Thanks are not enough for the loving and compassionate manner in which his care providers from Vitas Hospice pursued their mission. Memorials in his name may be made to Vitas Hospice Care, the Wisconsin Humane Society, the Alzheimer's Association or the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Family and friends are invited to join in a Memorial Celebration of his Life at 3:00 PM on Sunday, September 26, 2009, at Northshore Funeral Home, 3601 N. Oakland Ave., Shorewood WI.

Her daughter and husband were by her side at the time of her death. Her enthusiastic laughter, free spirit and loving nature embraced all those she encountered.

ALICE ETHEL ZELL (d. 2009) Alice Ethel Zell was born in Mishicot, Wis., on April 7, 1913, the oldest child of Pastor Edward Zell and Alice nee Jindra. She departed this life to be with the Lord Jesus, her Savior and friend, on April 7, her birthday, at the age of exactly 96 years. As an infant she was received into God's Kingdom of Grace through Holy Baptism, and thereby also became a member of St. Peter's Ev. Lutheran Church of Mishicot. Although her place of residence changed several times during her professional career her membership with St. Peter's congregation remained uninterrupted throughout her lifetime. That membership included service to her Lord and to the congregation as organist for 75 years, director of a ladies choir and mixed choir for 68 years, Sunday School teacher, and member of the congregation's Ladies Bible Hour for 70 years Better known to friends and family as "Chick," Alice began her education in the Mishicot State Graded School and continued it through Mishicot High School. She graduated as valedictorian of her class in 1930. After a short period of employment at the Mishicot State Bank, she attended Manitowoc County Normal School, graduating in 1932. Her teaching career included a number of years in the one-room rural schools of Manitowoc Co., first at Jambo Creek, then at Gjerpen (rural Valders), and last at Pine Grove (Steiner's Corner), In 1939 she enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She graduated from the university in 1942 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and Health. Her first place of employment was at Williams Bay High School, Williams Bay, Wis. In 1943 she began her work with the Sheboygan Falls School District. Her duties included service on all grade levels as a teacher of health and physical education, coaching, and to the consternation of many but at the same time earning their respect, as unofficial and unpaid student disciplinarian. She retired from Sheboygan Falls High School in 1983 after influencing the lives of 3 generations of students over a period of 40 years. Her service to the school and the community was recognized when in her honor the newly developed and expanded Sheboygan Falls High School athletic field and track was named "Zell Field." It was a fitting tribute to a teacher whose diligence and faithfulness over so many years touched the lives of hundreds of pupils and students. Her reputation was that of one who practiced "tough love" before the term was even coined. Her hobby was other people's children and her special love was teenagers. She is survived by two sisters, and by one brother, and by one sister-in-law. She will also be remembered and missed by many nieces, nephews, and cousins, and by their children and their grandchildren, as well as by numerous friends and acquaintances. In her lifetime as a sister and a maiden aunt she cut a wide swath. She will not be forgotten by those who knew her. She has not been forgotten by her Savior who by his perfect redemption reserved a place for her in his Father's House. Alice was preceded in death by one sister, Evelyn who died in infancy, by her parents, by one brother, Pastor Edward Zell, by one brother-in-law, Pastor Waldemar Zarling, and by many who over the years were very close to her. Memorials may be directed to St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Mishicot, Wis., to Manitowoc Lutheran High School, Manitowoc, Wis., or according to the donor's choice.

EVELYN ZELL The eight-month-old daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Zell died last week Tuesday and was buried Thursday afternoon. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, February 18, 1916 P.5 ********* (dau. of Rev. Edward and Alice (Jindra) Zell)
WILLIAM ZELL, REV. MISHICOT - Pastor William George Zell was born on Oct. 19, 1922, in Mishicot, son of Pastor Edward Zell and Alice (Jindra) Zell. He departed this life to be with the Lord Jesus on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2009, at the age of 86 years, 11 months and 21 days. By holy baptism he was graciously joined to his savior on Nov. 5, 1922, and he was confirmed in the Christian faith at St. Peter's Lutheran Church of Mishicot on Dec. 22, 1935. Bill's formal education began across the street from home at the Mishicot Grade School. In 1936 he followed the footsteps of his father and older brother and was enrolled in the preparatory department (high school) of Northwestern College in Watertown. He finished his pre-seminary training and received his diploma from Northwestern in June 1944. Within two weeks he began his studies at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Thiensville, where the campus schedule was accelerated during the last months of World War II. Shortly after the war, Bill taught English and directed the band and choirs on an interim basis at Winnebago Lutheran Academy in Fond du Lac. He graduated from the seminary in 1947. For his first post-seminary assignment, Bill returned to Northwestern College, this time as tutor for one year. Duties for tutor Zell included teaching, supervising the dormitory residents and coaching. He married on June 27, 1948. For their honeymoon they drove out to Tacoma, Wash., where Bill was ordained and installed as pastor of Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church. Four years later, he and Marian returned to the Midwest with their two children, where Pastor Zell began serving Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kolberg (Door County). In 1957, after his family had been blessed with two more children, he accepted the Lord's call to serve at Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in St. Paul, Minn. In the fall of 1960, Bill returned to Watertown as professor of German at his alma mater. He taught on the college level and, especially during the 1970s and 1980s, in the preparatory school. For a number of years Professor Zell chaired the planning committee for several campus building projects. His first love may have been coaching, and not simply because he enjoyed athletics. On the football field, basketball court and out on the golf course, Coach Zell relished his opportunities to encourage young men to continue their studies to become pastors. A God-given gift for administration was recognized by the church when in 1974 Bill was called to be the first president of Northwestern Preparatory School. In that capacity students, their parents and faculty colleagues saw a humble man who showed them love and respect. President Zell guided the school until his retirement in 1989. All told he had served on the Northwestern campus for 30 of his 42 years in the ministry of the gospel. He retired to Mishicot and joined St. Peter's Lutheran, the congregation his father had served as pastor for 47 years. For most of his retirement years, Pastor Zell preached regularly at area congregations throughout Manitowoc County. With his wife's capable assistance he also kept his house, garage and car spotless and his yard well-groomed. This was truly an orderly man. William Zell is survived by his wife, and by their children. He was blessed with 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters of Mishicot, and one sister-in-law. Bill was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Alice and Evelyn; one brother, Pastor Edward Zell; and his in-laws John and Effie Griep and Pastor Waldemar Zarling. A Christian funeral service will be held on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mishicot with Pastor Robert Johannes officiating. A committal service will follow in the Mishicot Public Cemetery. The Zell family also invites friends and relatives to a visitation today from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Lambert-Eckert Funeral Home of Mishicot, or they may call at the church on Tuesday from 9 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 11 a.m. Memorials may be directed to St. Peter's Lutheran Church of Mishicot, the scholarship fund of Luther Preparatory School of Watertown, or according to the donor's choice.
