Decendants of Otto Arnholter
Compiled by Allan Wessel 2008
Welcome to the Family History of the Arnhoelter Family.
As you page through the this book, you will find that there is no straight line of Ancestory. When the
early settlers to Sheboygan Co., and Clark Co., arrived the area were very sparsly setteled. As you will
see families are intertwined and are impossible to seperate.
Our early ancestors immigrated to the United States because of the lack of freedoms in Germany and the
inability to own land. When they arrived in Sheboygan Co., they purchased small tracts of wooded land,
cleared it of trees and brush and started farming.
The Arnhoelters came to Wisconsin through Indiana. The sons and daughters of Johann Heinrich
(Henry) and Wihelmina (Mina) Winneke along with their father immigrated to the United States in the
mid 1800's. Johann Heinrich (Henry) Arnhoelter came to Sheboygan Co. Two of his daughters
remained in Indiana, settling in the Indianapolis area.
The rest of the family moved to Sheboygan Co. Eventually two of the brothers moved back to Indiana
and settled in the Indianapolis area, starting harness repair buisness'.
"Louise" Arnhoelter married Carl August Franz and settled in Clark County.
"Henriette Arnhoelter married George W. Schmitt of Sheboygan. Mr. Schmitt farmed and also operated
a buisness in Sheboygan. He was one of the areas prominent citizens.
Carl Friedrich stayed in the Sheboygan area.
I hope that you will find this book interesting and informative. I have included newspaper articles about
weddings and deaths for many of the early ancestors. Read through them to get a picture of what life
was like when they were growing up.
It is also my hope that you will pass this along to your children. Our history, dreams and stories can be
perserved in words only if we tell others about them.
We have a rich heritage to pass along. Our ancestors struggled to clear the land, build the churches and
schools and perserve their German heritage and language. Now we must pass on our heritage to our
children.

Kippenhan History, narrated on tape in 1984 by Cilla Kippenhan and Lydia Kippenhan Wulf.

Transcribed in 1996 by Jean Wickesberg Sommers, whose mother was Emma Kippenhan Wickesberg.
These sisters were born in 1900, or shortly before.
Cilla Kippenhan speaking about "West of Greenwood, in Clark County, Wisconsin"
There wer only a few acres of cleared land when Dad and Mother Kippenhan came to live there. And
dad was constantly; always clearing from the forest. The large white pine logs, for which there was no
market, would be piled high and saturated with kerosene and burned. We enjoyed watching the flames
and sparks fly heavenward at night. The logs were green and burned a long time.
After dad had enough clearing to support some cows, sheep, hots, etc. he would go to work in the
logging camp during the winter, to be able to pay for the groceries during the year. Mother and the
children carried on the work at home. we often heard the wolves howl at night, and they came prowling
for our sheep. Mother and the boys would go out with a lantern and scare them away. As the years
went on, Dad, with the help of his family, was able to make a living on the farm.
We had milk, butter, meat, eggs. we also grew grain, which daddy took to the mill to have ground into
flour. Thus came our bread. When dady went hunting we had partridge, grouse, rabbit and venison
(deer). Quite a variety. Then we picked wild strawberries, rasberries, blackberries, blueberries,
elderberries and Jone berries. Such desserts! We had beehives, so our honey.
We attended Kippenhan school, so named because daddy donated the land so we could have a school.
we attended there first through eighth grade and then, for some of us, on to high school. we also
attended Sunday School every Sunday till noon. We walked three miles to Sunday School and back
home Sunday noon. Every Saturday for two years, during the fall and winter months we attended
confirmation class. On Palm Sunday, at the end of the two years, we had our examination before the
church members, to prove we were ready for church membership. On Easter Slunday, we partook of the
Elements of Holy Communion, and were then admitted as members of the church.
Our early religious experiences were reinforced by daily devotions led by our Father. On Sunday, if the
weather was inclement, Mother would have Sunday School with us in our home.
Thus our childhood environment on the farm."
========
Christmas At the John Nicholas Kippenhan Home at Greenwood, Clark County, Wisconsin. (Cilla's
writing of a script for a tape Cilla, Lyd, and Emma (my mother) made. This script was found in Cilla's
papers by Jean Wicksberg Sommers, after Cilla passed away.)
"Christmas always brought a feeling of exhilaration, anticipation, and excitement. It started with
December 6th, St. Nicholas Day, (Jean's insert: St. Nick's Day was Grandpa John's birthday. Mother
told me he was named Nicholas because he was born on December 6th), when we hung up our mittens
16
and were told if we were GOOD we'd find a piece of candy in our mitten, which we did. From then on
everything revolved around being GOOD.
One day between St. Nicholas and Christmas, Dad and Mother drove seven miles with horse and sleigh
to Greenwood to do the Christmas shopping. Money was scarce, so they had to plan carefully to buy a
gift for each of us (all thirteen). When they came home only the groceries were unloaded before dark.
After we had gone to bed they secretly hid the gifts until Christmas eve. During that time Dad also went
to the woods and brought home a beautiful Evergreen - sometimes dragging it several miles. Mother
was busy after we had gone to bed baking cut out cookies which she frosted and decorated with colored
sugar - some to be used to decorate the Christmas tree. We, the kids, strung popcorn, which was later
used by Khris Kingle to trim the tree.
===========
Emma's narration for the tape, written by Cilla:
The day before Christmas we got up early and several of the older girls were assigned to bake loaves
and loaves of stolen. After a good hearty meal at noon, came bath time in a large galvanized wash tub
placed on the kitchen floor. The reservoir of the old kitchen stove was filled with mater and many
kettles on top of the stove were also filled to assure that there was enough hot water for all of the baths.
The little ones had their bath first, and then up the line until everybody had their bath. Emma's Note:
There wasn't much time to soak and not much water to soak in. (Jean's Note: This is amusing, as after
we had an inside bathroom on our Spencer Road farm near Appleton, my Mother soaked and soaked, to
relax. Or she sat in front of the cook stove on a chair or in front of the furnace register on the living
room floor. She always was cold and ached a lot, with arthritis. It may have been a thyroid deficiency
too, as I have the same problem, so identified.)
=========
Lyd's narrative, written by Cilla:
Later we had a hurried lunch, using some of the stolen, and then everybody scrambled into their Sunday
best to attend the Christmas eve program at church. Dad and the boys had prepared the sleigh box with
hay, hot bricks, and blankets, with two lanterns at the back. When we were ready to go, the horses with
their sleigh bells, were hitched to the sleigh and away we went. It was three miles to church. When we
arrived it was all lit up for the festivities and program in which we all had a part. There was a 20 foot
tree with decorations and candles, and packages piled under the tree for the children. Before the
program, four men with long poles came to the front and lit the candles. They also had four long poles
with wet clothes wrapped around the top to care for the candles and prevent a fire.
The children's program was interspersed with the children and the congregation singing Christmas
Carols. The church was packed to the hilt with parents and with children too young to take part in the
program, sitting on their parents lap. After the program, every child received a brown paper bag with
17
nuts, cookies, candy and an apple. As we left the church, our horses that had been blanketed and hitched
to the post for about two hours, had frosted nostrils and were now raring to go home. After we reached
home, all the children went to bed.
Cilla's narrative again:
Mother and Dad and the older children decorated the tree and put the gifts under it. Then came the
surprises. In the early morning when we took our gifts to Mothers and Dad's bed they Ahh'd and Ohh'd
as though they had never seen them.
On Christmas morning Mother and Dad attended church. We, the children, stayed home and played
with the toys. At noon we served a scrumptious dinner, possibly venison, to about fifteen or more
people. After dinner the women did the dishes and the men went hunting.
On December 26 we celebrated second Christmas Day. It was then that our neighbors, the Smazels,
would come to our house. The candles on the tree were lit and we and the Smazel children had a
program all our own by reciting the parts we had at the church and at the public school program. After
the program Mr. Smazel and Dad would play Schafskopf (Sheepshead cards, only done in Wisconsin,
and mostly by Germans) and Mrs. Smazel and mother visit.
We, the children, would play games. Later refreshments were served. Then at New Years, the
Kippenhan Family would visit the Smazels and the program would be repeated. The next year we
would reverse the dates. We were very good friends. I, Cilla, still correspond with Edna Smazel.
(Jean's Note: My Mother talked about the Smazels a lot and also the Bohs.)
After the children were grown the folks moved to Appleton, and all the relatives that lived in Appleton
came to the Kippenhan home at 1315 So. Mason St. on Christmas Eve for Open House.

Memories of Granfather
"When I ate breakfast with Grandpa, at the kitchen table, he ate his breakfast cereal with a knife. He
always had puffed rice, the white stuff. He lined it up on his knife, like old Europeans lind up peas on a
knife to eat, and inserted that into his mouth. He only drank grape juice, no other kind. He did not
converse with me or anyone else during the entire meal, or hardly ever. He and I ate breakfast out of
beautiful old bowls that had fruit painted on the inside bottom, and gold edging around the top. They
probably were gifts from flour or sugar purchases years ago. There were three of these bowls left, and a
larger serving bowl when Cilla went to the nursing home that I am fortunate enough to have. Whenever
I look at them, I think of Grandpa and I eating breakfast together. Somehow Hilda or Cilla rarely sat
down to eat with us, maybe Hilda a bit more. They made themselves busy in the pantry. By Jean
(Wickesberg) Sommers.

could but left a cyust or tumor on her uterus. As a result, she couldn't have
children. (As told by Lyda Wolf to Jean (Wicksburg) Sommers.

August spoke and read German fluently. He was known as 'Augie' to family and
friends.
The following is a transcription of a letter that August Kippenhan wrote to his sister
Emma while serving in the U.S. Army during World War I. He was stationed at
Camp Mills (on Long Island), New York. It was the Labor Day weekend of 1918.
Sept. 3rd, 1918 Camp Mills Long Island, New York
Dear Sis Emma:
How is the kid? I'm fine and dandy, and hope the same for you. (i) am still in
Camp Mills - have no idea how long we will stay here or not, or where we will go
from here. And I don't care because one place is just like the other in the Army.
Had a battalion parade yesterday and close order drill all day today but it isn't so
hard on me no more as it was. (I) feel better here too, nor I did at Camp Grant. (I)
guess them shots are starting work out of my system for the second one took me
pretty hard. we are sleeping in tents now. This is a funny country or rather funny
20
weather. In the daytime it is pretty warm but in the evening the ocean breeze is
pretty fresh. I was talking with some of the fellows that live around here Sunday.
They say that this is the first company that stayed here over three or four days and I
don't believe that this place was selected for us if that wreck wouldnâ€™t't have
happened. They say that they always closed this camp around the fifteenth, so if
that is the case we will stay here about two weeks yet, but nobody knows.
Well, we had payday today but those two days are spent going to camp. They beat
us out of that but we should worry. They certainly have all kinds of entertainments
in the Y.M.C.A. here. First, they had a couple of clowns here tonight and now they
are having a four-piece orchestra showing off from New York. Guess I will go out
on a pass tomorrow - spend some of my month's wages because they always say
what's the use of money if doesn't circulate. But believe me, it circulates here.
Well, you can't blame they boys - this life is only a short one so it might just as well
be a gay one. An Aug. is going to have it while he is out, and if he comes back he
will make up for it again , and if not he don't need it.
we had bayonet drill today. That is pretty hard on the muscles if you have a
nine-pound gun and a bayonet on the end of it hanging in your arms for about an
hour steady. Well, you said Pa thought I got skinny already since I came here.
Don't know whether I did or not but I know I am about four inches narrower around
the belt as I was when I came to Camp Grant. "Spose it naturally would take some
meat from a draft horse if you'd take him off from the wagon and put him on the
racetrack. I know it always did off Pa's Queen and I believe that she is tougher nor
I am. (I) was going to weigh down at the canteen tonight but the scale was out of
order so I couldn't. But after all we have no kicking because some of the
companies drill their men harder nor they do us. But Compnay "F" had to check
down to because most of their men were pretty near all in.
So you see we have no kicking. The Capt. came through this morning and gave our
sergeant orders to give us more rest. He said "give them more rest and when you
drill them, make them put more snap into it." Guess that is right to, always thought
I was slow buth they have some here that are a whole lot slower. Of course, they
have some that are a whole lot better but I am getting along fine since I got out of
the Depot Brigade, but that was a hellhole, right. I was tickled that the only left me
there a week. Well, has Chessy made up his mind yet whether he wants to work for
Uncle Sam yet or not? 'Spose it will be kind of hard for him to part with the old
Maxwell he's the boy for he's built for a pacer. Guess he won't talk so wise after he
has been here a couple of months. How is Oscar D. coming along? Does he
always run into the ditch yet at dad's gate, or has he changed his route by this time?
If you don't know, ask Cilla. "Spose she can tell you hare are the shindigs coming
around there. Do they still keep them going or not? How are the Socialists
coming? Do they still have their parties yet or not? 'Spose they do.
21
Say, Em - met a feller from Withee here at the show last night. He said his name
was "Barns". He said he know Cilla well. Guest this all of this time as this show is
pretty interesting to night. Will tell you the rest if I come back. So bye bye from
your loving bro. - August Kippenhan.
Excuse all scribbling a mistakes for I am always in a hurry as you know, especially
when I am writing letters to get away from it, so bye bye. And tell everyone hellow
for me. Tell Hilda U.S. thought about more of the schoolmoms nor he did of the
boys. Yesterday was labor day and it surely was for us.
=======================
August A. Kippenhan (By Herb Kippenhan Jr.)
August was a great deal like his father John Kippenhan in appearance, although
smaller in stature.
He served in World War I, and was the victim of a gas attach by the German forces.
He was transported back to the United States, where he partially recovered in a
military a military hospital in Philadelphia. His father made at least two trips to
Philadelphia, the first to visit his son, and the second to bring him home to
Wisconsin. When August's health improved, he resumed farming.
In addition to running the Kippenhan famr, August and his brother Carl also were
involved in raising and breaking horses. Their father John would journey west into
the Dakotas and purchase horses, and bring them back to Wisconsin. August and
carl would break and train the horses, and then they would be sold.
After his brother Carl's death in 1946, the Kippenhan farm was sold and August
moved to Appleton, Wisconsin. He moved in with his father and sisters on Mason
Street. (He helped take car of his Dad who was ill with prostrate cancer. By Jean
(Wickesberg) Sommers). He went to work for his brother Roland Kippenhan at
P.G. Miron Construction Company. He worked for the firm for many years as a
mason's laborer. He was probably seventy years of age when he retired.
August wasn't a large man, perhaps 5'8" and 155 pounds. But he'd done very
physical labor his entire adult life, and he was extremely strong. To shake hands
with him made you feel that you'd grabbed a coil of spring steel wire. He had a full
head of short, curly, hair. This was unlike most of his brothers (Ted, Art, Roland,
John) who were balding.
Apart from his work, August had tree princeiple interests. In no specific order, he
enjoyed hunting, fishing, and arguing. He also played a pretty fair game of
22
shafskopf (a card game popular among Wisconsin's German Americans - a
common Kippenhan past time). If you didn't know August, his love of a good
verbal scrap could be intimidating. I know that I found it so as a young boy, when
we'd visit with he and his sisters at 1315 South Mason Street in Appleton,
Wisconsin. As I got a bit older, I realized that August just enjoyed the debate.
Then it was no longer a personal attack, but a war of wits.
==========
Greg Kippenhan, August's nephew, shared the following story me some years ago
(August 1997). Greg has worked for P.G. Miron ever since he graduated from high
school.
August worked as a mason's laborer afor the company. In the hot weather months,
he'd bring a six pack of beer to work and drop into his water barrel to keep it cool.
When he got thirsty, he'd pop the top off a beer and solve the problem. It was his
abit to mix a fresh batch of mortar just before the lunch break. That way, right after
lunch he could just add a little water, mix the 'mud' just a bit, and ease into the
afternoon of labor.
One day a couple of his co-workers snuck off during lunch and put a huge rock in
August's waiting batch of mortar. Augie finished lunch, went out and put some
water in his batch of mortar, and started to mix it up. C*L*U*N*K! He never said
a word to anyone. He just wheeled the batch of mortar, rock and all, to the edge of
the construction site. He dumped the mess out, and went back to mix a fresh batch
of mortar. No satisfaction was offered the pranksters.

Cilla Minna Kippenhan, born 7 Apr 1897, in Greenwood, Clark, Wisconsin,
13
United States, bapt. 27 May 1897, died 16 Feb 1996, in Neenah, Winnebago,
13,55,56
Occupation: Teacher, Mission School, Neillsville,

WI, from 1923 about 1968.
Sunburst Journal
"Miss Kippy" known for sprit of adventure, high ideals, profound caring, selfless
dedication.
"Sunburst was her heart, her soul, her life," says Rev. John McFadden of Appleton
First Congregational Church, who performed the funeral service for Cilla
Kippenhan. "She was the kind of woman" McFadden reflects "who we can
describe using the term 'saint; without feeling self-conscious.
23
Long time co-worker and friend Mary Ann Bolton agrees, "She was a wonderful
person, an absolutely outstanding woman."
A graduate of Stevens Point Teacher's College, Cilla spent her first three years in
the classroom at Withee in Clark County. She traveled across the country to work
in Washington state for a year, then returned to the Midwest, where she tought
three years at Greenwood, Wisconsin.
Bolton says it was Cilla's sister Louise who talked her into coming to what was
then the Winnebago Indian School, "Blut she encouraged her not to stay", Bolton
recalls, because of the inherent financial hardships. Louise warned Cilla that she
might lose her pension.
However, the dedication that marked the life of Cilla Kippenhan was not
diminished by concerns of pensions - or any kind of financial hardship.
Rev. McFadden explains, " Cilla tought in an era when to be a teacher at the
Winnebago School was to live on campus." There were times, she told him, when
the whole staff went an entire year without being paid; room and board was their
only compensation.
Yet her accounts revealed a spirit of adventure in meeting the adversities of those
years. McFadden remembers her cheerfully describing a long period when mutton
from the federal government was the only available meat, although she admitted
that trying to creatively use it "wore a little thin."
Because of the respect and admiration she earned, her responsibilities often
included filling for the school founder Rev. Benjamin Stucki during his absence.
Files and personal recollections also credit her with serving as head matron and
director of housekeeping.
Bit it was as a teacher that she is most fondly remembered. Sande Sliwicki, a
former Winnebago Indian School student who no lives in Wausau, met "Miss
Kippy" in 1956. "She was very strict, demanding lady, but also very fair," Sliwicki
said.
A highlight in Silwicki's host of cherished memories about Miss Kippy involves a
question she once posed about personal appearance. "She always looked so nice,
her hair done, makeup and earrings," Siliwicki recalls. In childlike curiosity, I
looked up at her one day and asked, "Why do you always dress up?" Miss Kippy
responded, "Because child, if you ever introduce me to someone as your friend, I
want you to be proud of me."
24
Cilla Kippenhan imparted her values through example. "What I admired and
appreciated most bout her was her commitment and dedication," Sliwicki says.
"She was totally devoted to us. Totally"! "And she always expected us to do our
best," Sliwicki remembers, "even if it was mopping a floor."
Sliwicki didn't forget Miss Kippy when she left Sunburst, and Miss Kippy didn't
forget her, either. Through the years, Miss Kippy stayed in touch with former
students by underwriting up to 50 monthly subscriptions for a devotional guide
called "The Upper Room". She continued the gifts until just four years ago.
Miss Kippy always had encouragement to offer and praise to lavish on her former
students. When Sliwicki returned to college as a mother of three to finish her
degree, Miss Kippy bolstered her efforts by telling her "Iv'e bragged about you."
Sliwicki confirms, "She always took pride in my accomplishments."
Miss Kippy's deep caring for her students continued long after they left Sunburst.
When Sliwicki's first husband committed suicide, Miss Kippy drove to Wausau to
be with her.
Sliwicki eventually remarried. She visted Miss Kippy in Appleton a few years ago,
taking along her family. "She made us a meal -- at age 92"! she exclaimed. At
home following the visit, Sliwicki was overcome by a profound sense of loneliness.
"Being in her home made me realize that that part of my life was a good part -sanctuary, a home for me when my whole world had been torn apart. People at the
school gave up the promise of high-income careers for us. I called the moment I
ealked in the door to tell her how much she had meant to me through my life."
"She was a role model to me when I had no one," Sliwicki continues. "She will
always be special to me."
Rev. McFadden confirmed that Sunburst remained the center Cilla Kippenhan's
life, even after her retirement. He knows, for example, that she took money out of
her own back account to help tide Sunburst over during some of its more difficult
times. "Even the most committed and dedicated among us can't conceive of whit it
means to completely give of yourself the way she did," McFadden says.

Cilla Kippenhan will long be remembered for her selfless dedication, her high
ideals, her deep caring -- a legacy to all whose lives she touched, and an example
for those who continue to support and carry on important work of helping children
at Sunburst.

"Goldendale" is liked by Men
A deal has been closed by Edward Abeling wherein the Frank Saxton 400 acre
ranch in the Spring Creek section was sold to Haltenhof and Franz (Ted). The
34
purchasers are Montana cattlemen from near Miles City and have spent the past
eighteen months seeing a desireable location in various parts of Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
The new owners took possession of the ranch last Satuday. They intend to stock it
with purebred cattle and sheep for which the farm is particularly well adapted. this
ranch is generally considered the best place in that locality. This is the biggest cash
deal made in the Klickitat Valley for some time.
Franz, a son-ion-law of Halltenhof has looked at farms all over Oregon and in
various parts of Wshington. He said: "After viewing all of the farm territory in
Oregon and Washingotn, I felt that Goldendale and Vicity held the greatest
opportunity for development."

Biography - Ted Kippenhan
Theodore John Kippenhan was born January 4, 1888 in the Town of Mead, Clark County, Wisconsin.
He was the eldest child of John Nicholas Kipenhan and Minnie Franz. He attended Mead Township
School through the eighth grade and then went to work. In the winters he worked in logging camps, and
his first few summers he worked on farms in the southern part of the State of Wisconsin.
He met Martha Susanne Awe while working at a sawmill run by her father (Henry Awe) in Clark
County. The couple married in 1915 and settled on a farm close to that of Theodore's father. They
farmed that land continuously for a period of forty one years, retiring in 1956. The couple raised six
children, sons Alvin (Emma Williams), Herbert (Helen Hintz), and Paul (Julia Scheele), and daughters,
Norma (Mrs. Emory Sieger), Esther (Mrs. Elmer Meinhardt), and Rose, (Mrs. Price Davis).
Theodore was always a pretty busy man. In addition to running an eighty acre farm, he served as a
deacon of the Immanuel Lutheran Church for several years. He also served as chairman, assessor, and
treasurer of the Town of Mead at various times.
49
After retirement, the couple lived with their daughter and son-in-law (the Meinhardt's) who farmed near
Longwood, Clark County for five years. In 1961, they moved to an apartment in Greenwood.
Theodore was hospitalized on November 27, 1966 as a result of a stroke. He died on November 28 in
Neillsville Memorial Hospital.
In May, 1967, Martha moved to Kenosha to live her daughter and son-in-law (the Sieger's). She died in
a Kenosha hospital as a result of a stroke on July 9, 1967.
While having a limited formal education, Theodore and Martha were both very bright people. As was
the case with the children of many German settlers, both spoke, read and wrote English and German
fluently.
Theodore had a life-long interest in horses. He'd made his living with them (as a logger and a farmer).
In his retirement, he always was attracted to things like rodeos, parades where horses were featured
(e.ge. - The Old Time Circus Parade in Milwaukee, etc.)
He also had a continuing interest in technology. He's experienced enormous change in his lifetime. As
a child and a young man, people traveled by horseback or by rail. Before he was forty, travel by motor
vehicle (car or bus) had become the norm. By the thime he retired, travel by airplane had become
common. He was quite interested in the NASA Space Program. He'd followed the progress of the
Mercury and Gemini programs, and wondered if we'd really be able to land a man on the moon. I'm
sure that had he still been alive, he'd have stayed up late on that night in July, 1969 to watch it on
television like most other Americans.

By Lydia Kippenhan Wulf (5 August 1989) - some thoughts about her relationship with her brother Art.
"I am thinking, thinking but I can't think of Art but what the family becomes involved.
I'm sure most of you know that we were a family of 13 children living in a rural farming community (I
still feel sorry for children who do not have that experience). I, being in the middle, have experienced
the relationship of both the older and the younger group. The oldest six were well scrambled up as to
male and females, but in the middle were three girls - Cilla, I (Lydia), and Emma, and on the tail end 4
boys - Jack, Art, Carl, and Roland. Cilla was the out of doors kind of girl and I preferred to take care of
the nursery.
We were all family and whatever joys or sorrows befell one, befell all, shared equally and were a part of
it. And I believe those of us who are left, still do. Whenever a new baby arrived in our family, no one
had to be coached not to be jealous, we were jubilant as though we had received a new toy. He or she
was a Prince or Princess at the time.
I am sure we were poor, but as children we did not have wants that couldn't be fulfilled. None of us
knew the word 'poor'. We had no lack of attention or love (I speak of the 7 younger ones). The older
ones, who initiated this, were they here, would have to speak for themselves (but we always had much
55
attention, love, and correction as well from them.) Louise once said she had to come home to learn what
her shortcomings were!
As I was younger and loved children dearly, I probably mothered the boys more than anyone else. I
remember Art saying "Liddy, when I grow up, I will buy you a dress." He couldn't pronounce my name.
He bought me the equivalent of a new dress many times over in the showing of his live and care for me.
I will never forget the old elm tree that stood on top of the hill. Its branches and shade protected us from
the sun when we tended the animals grazing in the pasture on one side of the tree, when they wanted to
wander into the corn or grain field on the other side.
There were usually 4 or 5 of us younger children. We would divide up in pairs, 3 would watch the cattle
and two would pick wild raspberries growing in our forest just over the fence. We would also pick
tender young leaves from the plants and take all back to share with the rest of the tribe. Raspberry
sandwiches! 5 or 6 berries between two green leaves. Delicious! I dare any one of you to come up with
anything as imaginative now.
There were also several pin cherry trees along the fence by the highway. We climbed those like
squirrels and picked and ate the cherries.
Art, like everyone else in the family was always there when we needed him. That is the great joy of
being a member of a big family. We could always, as kids, entertain one another. Nothing to be bored
about.
Good bye, Dear One. I will always feel you near me."

Anniversary
One score and fifteen momentous years ago- Kind gracious Henry and his beloved bride, started sailing
down the sea of Matrimony:
Oft the darkening clouds would be hanging low, And stayed so for a distracting while- But even though
ill fate would strike, They'd overcome adversity with their gracious smile.
Angry waves oft would lash their deck And even defiant sharks would lash their share, But they
accepting their Crosses with patience Dethroned their griefs with their nightly prayer.
Then they encounted broken sails, the depression, When many floks as I, just couldn't win; Yet Henry
and Minnie just overcame their problems By accepting them with an optomistic grin.
They have been faithful friends and neighbors, Ever tossing kink deeds o'er the billowy sea; Giving
cheer to the hearts they encounter, And remembering simple folks as you and me.

Now in everyone's lives there comes timely Crosses And oh, how the relentless rains may pour But
Minnie merely sought God for guidance And seemingly they were blessed the more.
But far greater than their wordly assets Is their fine family they were blessed to rear, For they are just as
friendly, intelligent and happy - As they complete the circle so sublimely dear,
So now dear Hank and charming Minnie - Just keep on a sailing on lifes's boat as before, Until some day
the great God shall welcome you On to a promised land and heavenly shore.

Harley Wendell Ott, born 11 Jun 1968, in Neillsville, Clark, Wisconsin, United
States, died 5 Oct 2002, in Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut, United States.
Obituary for Harley Wendel Ott
Harley was born in Neillsville, WI on June 11, 1968. He graduated from
Neillsville High School in 1986, and went on to join the US Navy, Dec 16, 1986.
While in the Navy he was decorated for the Battle "E" Award, the National Defense
118
Service Medal, and the Southwest Asia Service Medal. He served two tours of
duty in the Middle East during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He eventually
returned to NSSE Groton CT where he honorably retired from the Navy in Aug
1995.
Harley was a soft-spoken kindhearted gentleman. He was well liked by his friends
and co-workers. He was a leader by example. The following words read during his
graveside funeral service well defined his beliefs and how he lived.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are
those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will
inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they
will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are
the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will
be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3-10
Harley is survived by, his parents Wendel and Dorothy of Neillsville, WI and two
brothers, Albert of Trafis Air Force Base, CA and Casey of Mexico City, Mexido,
as well as two nephews and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Great Aungs and Uncles,

Obituary of George W. Schmitt
Pioneer of County is Dead
George W. Schmitt, aged 85, succumbs to kidney Disease
LIVED IN THE COUNTY 62 YEARS
Was Born in Germany and Came to America in 1850 Settling in Newark, N.J. Came to Sheboygan
County Three Years Later and Conducted Farm --Was Widely Known.
George W. Schmitt Sr., aged 85 years, one of the most widely known pioneers of Sheboygan County,
died at 4:30 o'clock this morning at the residence of his son, George W. Schmitt, Jr., the West Side
merchant. Death was due to kidney trouble and heart disease from which the deceased had been
suffering for the past three weeks.
131
Mr. Schmitt was born in Germany, January 25, 1830 and came to America on July 12, 1850 with his
mother and a brother, his father having passed away two years previous. The family made its home in
Newark, N.J. for three years during which time Mr. Schmitt supported his aged mother by conducting a
harness buisness. His only brother volunteered at the opening of the Civil War and was never heard
from after his enlistment.
In 1853, the family came to Sheboygan county and settled on the farm later owned by Simon Dean, but
which is now being operated by the latter's son. Mr. Schmitt was married in 1859 to Miss Henrietta
Arnhoelter, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. A. D. Stecher, then pastor of the Trinity
Lutheran Church.
The farm was sold to Simon Dean in 1870 and the family moved to Sheboygan while a new farm was
under constructio on the Lake Shore Road. Mr. and Mrs. Schmitt lived on their new homestead for
twenty-five years and then retired, making their home with their son ever since.
A notable event in the lives of the aged couple was the celebration of their golden wedding anniversary,
March 10, 1909, in the form of a family reunion. Six children were born of the marriage, three of who
survive. They are George W. Schmitt, Jr., Otto Schmitt, and Mrs. B.Z. Koerner all of this city. Mr.
Schmitt's wife is still living and in good health. She is 80 years old. Eight grand children also survive.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the residence and at 2 o'clock from the
Immanuel Lutheran Church, Rev. Theodore Laetsch, pastor of the church officiating. Burial will be
made in the family lot at Wildwood cemetery.
Mr. Schmitt had been an active member of the Immanuel Church for the past ten or twelve years.
Before that time he was a member of the Trinity Lutheran church as was one of its founders. During
recent years, however, he could not endure the long walk from the west side and joined the Immanuel
church.
The decedent was an honored citizen and highly respected throughout the county. At one time, many
years ago, he held the office of supervisor and was always interested in public questions.
The pall bearers for the funeral Sunday will be George W. Schmitt, Ott Schmitt, B.A. Koerner, Edwin
Koerner, Student at the Universitn of Wisconsin, Madison, Arthur Schmitt and Alfred Schmitt.

190. George W. Schmitt (Wilhelmine "Henriette" Arnhoelter , Johann Heinrich , Otto ), born 11 Jan
1864, in Sheboygan, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. He married Mary (Schmitt). Mary (Schmitt) was

George W. Schmitt, who carries on general merchandising at the corner of Maryland and South
Fifteenth Streets, is a native of Sheboygan Town, born January 11, 1864. His parents George and
Henrietta (Arnholter) Schmitt, are natives, respectifely, of Hesse-Nassau and Westphalia, Germany. In
his early life, the father learned the trade of harness-maker, becoming a finished workman. When about
twenty-one years of age, he emigrated to the United States and after working some three years in New
Jersey, came to Sheboygan, among the early settlers. In company with Julius Leber, he opened a
harness shop in this city, but later disposed of his interets and turned his attention to farming. He now
owns a good farm two miles north of the city limits. In this county he married Miss Arnholter, who is
also a early settler here. Of this union six children were born, though but four of them are now
surviving. William, who was educated in the public schools and the buisness college of the Chair City,
and also in the commercial college at Indianapolis, Ind., has been a merchant's clerk for a number of
years, but is now book keeper for the gentleman whos name heads thes record; George W. is the next in
order of birth; Otto is at home and operates the farm; and Clara is the wife of B. Koerner, of Sheboygan.
George W. Schmitt is a young man of good buisness ability, as is shown by his successful career.
Having received a good practical education in the Evergreen City schools, he went to Indianapolis to
work for his uncle. Returning home, he worked for some thime in Garton's toy factory. During the
succeding two years, he super intended Dr. Carl Muth's stock farm and then clerked a short time for
Johann & Derwaldt. On the 31st of March, 1889, he purchased a stock of goods of Albert Kaems and
Charles Spaude, who were conducting buisness at the place where Mr. Schmitt has since continued it.
He purchased a grocery stock, and has since added a dry goods department. His large double store is
filled with a carefully selected stock. The dry goods room is 22 x 60 feet, and the grocery department is
of the same dimensions, while in the rear is a pool room, 20 x 24 feet. The front part of the structure is
two-story, but the rear but one story. Mr. Schmitt has a good trade, which has been attracted by his
courteous and fair treatment of his customers. He is a gentleman of good habits, and is a member of the
German Lutheran Church. With the exception fo $700, he has made by his own industry and good
management all that he possess. Though of slight build, Mr. Scmitt is a man of exceptional muscular
power. He has been a resident of Sheboygan County all his life where he is well known and highly
repected.

The following is an obituary of 1901
Carl Arnhoelter
Carl Arnhoelter died at his home in the Town of Herman on Thursay evening, June 20 at the age of 64
years. Appendicities infection was the cause of his death. He was born on the 26th of October 1836 in
Lippe-Detmold, Germany and came to America with his eleven children. The funeral will be on
Sunday in the Town of Herman with Pastor Martin Officiating. It seems that the above is not exactly
correct as the death record and the monument on the cemetery lists his birth as October 26, 1837. Also
the Immanuel records show that he, along with his father, a sister and 2 brothers came from Indiana to
the Town of Herman, Wisconsin in 1857 and an America Auswanderer book from Germany lists the
Arnhoelter family as going to Indiana in 1853. Therefore, they were not in America in 1848.
Translated from a German newspaper.
TOWN HERMAN, WIS, IMMANUEL CONGREGATION. Wm Huenemann, Pastor. Next we would
like to report that the Almighty God has taken MOTHER SOPHIA ARNHOELTER from this world into
eternity in March of this year. Her husband preceded her already in the year 1901. She was in suffering
and bedridden during the majority of the time since the fall of 1899. She was well taken care of by her
children and she bore her suffering with a rare patience. One never heard her complain. Her silent
suffering was credited to the various preachers who visited her during her many years of suffering, oft
135
times to comfort her. Indeed, she was not one to boast about her beliefs, on the contrary, she had
learned that she was a poor sinner and that she could be blessed thru grace. In the last week of her
suffering, when she caught a cold, in addition to her longtime suffering, weakness from old age took
over and she said, "Lord, they will be done, but help me through it." Even if she could not help her
children with their labors for many years, still she was a mother of advise till the end. The funeral
service was on March 14. The scripture reading for the occasion was on Psalm 42 and the funeral
sermon was based upon verse 12 of the same Psalm. Mother Arnhoelter reached the old age of 84 years,
5 months and 9 days. May the lord comfort the survivors with his words.
Sophie emigrated to America shortly after their father died. She came to live with her aunt, Friedricke
Sundermann nee Reineking. Friedricke is believed to be Sophie and Wilhelm's mothers sister.

From Sheboygan Paper, January 1923
Obituary of George W. Schmitt
Pioneer of County is Dead
George W. Schmitt, aged 85, succumbs to kidney Disease
LIVED IN THE COUNTY 62 YEARS
Was Born in Germany and Came to America in 1850 Settling in Newark, N.J. Came to Sheboygan
County Three Years Later and Conducted Farm --Was Widely Known.
George W. Schmitt Sr., aged 85 years, one of the most widely known pioneers of Sheboygan County,
died at 4:30 o'clock this morning at the residence of his son, George W. Schmitt, Jr., the West Side
merchant. Death was due to kidney trouble and heart disease from which the deceased had been
suffering for the past three weeks.
Mr. Schmitt was born in Germany, January 25, 1830 and came to America on July 12, 1850 with his
mother and a brother, his father having passed away two years previous. The family made its home in
Newark, N.J. for three years during which time Mr. Schmitt supported his aged mother by conducting a
harness buisness. His only brother volunteered at the opening of the Civil War and was never heard
from after his enlistment.
In 1853, the family came to Sheboygan county and settled on the farm later owned by Simon Dean, but
which is now being operated by the latter's son. Mr. Schmitt was married in 1859 to Miss Henrietta
Arnhoelter, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. A. D. Stecher, then pastor of the Trinity
Lutheran Church.
The farm was sold to Simon Dean in 1870 and the family moved to Sheboygan while a new farm was
under constructio on the Lake Shore Road. Mr. and Mrs. Schmitt lived on their new homestead for
twenty-five years and then retired, making their home with their son ever since.
A notable event in the lives of the aged couple was the celebration of their golden wedding anniversary,
March 10, 1909, in the form of a family reunion. Six children were born of the marriage, three of who
survive. They are George W. Schmitt, Jr., Otto Schmitt, and Mrs. B.Z. Koerner all of this city. Mr.
Schmitt's wife is still living and in good health. She is 80 years old. Eight grand children also survive.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the residence and at 2 o'clock from the
Immanuel Lutheran Church, Rev. Theodore Laetsch, pastor of the church officiating. Burial will be
made in the family lot at Wildwood cemetery.
Mr. Schmitt had been an active member of the Immanuel Church for the past ten or twelve years.
181
Before that time he was a member of the Trinity Lutheran church as was one of its founders. During
recent years, however, he could not endure the long walk from the west side and joined the Immanuel
church.
The decedent was an honored citizen and highly respected throughout the county. At one time, many
years ago, he held the office of supervisor and was always interested in public questions.
The pall bearers for the funeral Sunday will be George W. Schmitt, Ott Schmitt, B.A. Koerner, Edwin
Koerner, Student at the Universitn of Wisconsin, Madison, Arthur Schmitt and Alfred Schmitt.

The following is an obituary of 1901
Carl Arnhoelter
Carl Arnhoelter died at his home in the Town of Herman on Thursay evening, June 20 at the age of 64
years. Appendicities infection was the cause of his death. He was born on the 26th of October 1836 in
Lippe-Detmold, Germany and came to America with his eleven children. The funeral will be on
182
Sunday in the Town of Herman with Pastor Martin Officiating. It seems that the above is not exactly
correct as the death record and the monument on the cemetery lists his birth as October 26, 1837. Also
the Immanuel records show that he, along with his father, a sister and 2 brothers came from Indiana to
the Town of Herman, Wisconsin in 1857 and an America Auswanderer book from Germany lists the
Arnhoelter family as going to Indiana in 1853. Therefore, they were not in America in 1848.
Translated from a German newspaper.
TOWN HERMAN, WIS, IMMANUEL CONGREGATION. Wm Huenemann, Pastor. Next we would
like to report that the Almighty God has taken MOTHER SOPHIA ARNHOELTER from this world into
eternity in March of this year. Her husband preceded her already in the year 1901. She was in suffering
and bedridden during the majority of the time since the fall of 1899. She was well taken care of by her
children and she bore her suffering with a rare patience. One never heard her complain. Her silent
suffering was credited to the various preachers who visited her during her many years of suffering, oft
times to comfort her. Indeed, she was not one to boast about her beliefs, on the contrary, she had
learned that she was a poor sinner and that she could be blessed thru grace. In the last week of her
suffering, when she caught a cold, in addition to her longtime suffering, weakness from old age took
over and she said, "Lord, they will be done, but help me through it." Even if she could not help her
children with their labors for many years, still she was a mother of advise till the end. The funeral
service was on March 14. The scripture reading for the occasion was on Psalm 42 and the funeral
sermon was based upon verse 12 of the same Psalm. Mother Arnhoelter reached the old age of 84 years,
5 months and 9 days. May the lord comfort the survivors with his words.
Sophie emigrated to America shortly after their father died. She came to live with her aunt, Friedricke
Sundermann nee Reineking. Friedricke is believed to be Sophie and Wilhelm's mothers sister.

Kippenhan History, narrated on tape in 1984 by Cilla Kippenhan and Lydia Kippenhan Wulf.
Transcribed in 1996 by Jean Wickesberg Sommers, whose mother was Emma Kippenhan Wickesberg.
These sisters were born in 1900, or shortly before.
Cilla Kippenhan speaking about "West of Greenwood, in Clark County, Wisconsin"
There wer only a few acres of cleared land when Dad and Mother Kippenhan came to live there. And
dad was constantly; always clearing from the forest. The large white pine logs, for which there was no
market, would be piled high and saturated with kerosene and burned. We enjoyed watching the flames
and sparks fly heavenward at night. The logs were green and burned a long time.
After dad had enough clearing to support some cows, sheep, hots, etc. he would go to work in the
logging camp during the winter, to be able to pay for the groceries during the year. Mother and the
children carried on the work at home. we often heard the wolves howl at night, and they came prowling
for our sheep. Mother and the boys would go out with a lantern and scare them away. As the years
went on, Dad, with the help of his family, was able to make a living on the farm.
We had milk, butter, meat, eggs. we also grew grain, which daddy took to the mill to have ground into
flour. Thus came our bread. When dady went hunting we had partridge, grouse, rabbit and venison
193
(deer). Quite a variety. Then we picked wild strawberries, rasberries, blackberries, blueberries,
elderberries and Jone berries. Such desserts! We had beehives, so our honey.
We attended Kippenhan school, so named because daddy donated the land so we could have a school.
we attended there first through eighth grade and then, for some of us, on to high school. we also
attended Sunday School every Sunday till noon. We walked three miles to Sunday School and back
home Sunday noon. Every Saturday for two years, during the fall and winter months we attended
confirmation class. On Palm Sunday, at the end of the two years, we had our examination before the
church members, to prove we were ready for church membership. On Easter Slunday, we partook of the
Elements of Holy Communion, and were then admitted as members of the church.
Our early religious experiences were reinforced by daily devotions led by our Father. On Sunday, if the
weather was inclement, Mother would have Sunday School with us in our home.
Thus our childhood environment on the farm."
========
Christmas At the John Nicholas Kippenhan Home at Greenwood, Clark County, Wisconsin. (Cilla's
writing of a script for a tape Cilla, Lyd, and Emma (my mother) made. This script was found in Cilla's
papers by Jean Wicksberg Sommers, after Cilla passed away.)
"Christmas always brought a feeling of exhilaration, anticipation, and excitement. It started with
December 6th, St. Nicholas Day, (Jean's insert: St. Nick's Day was Grandpa John's birthday. Mother
told me he was named Nicholas because he was born on December 6th), when we hung up our mittens
and were told if we were GOOD we'd find a piece of candy in our mitten, which we did. From then on
everything revolved around being GOOD.
One day between St. Nicholas and Christmas, Dad and Mother drove seven miles with horse and sleigh
to Greenwood to do the Christmas shopping. Money was scarce, so they had to plan carefully to buy a
gift for each of us (all thirteen). When they came home only the groceries were unloaded before dark.
After we had gone to bed they secretly hid the gifts until Christmas eve. During that time Dad also went
to the woods and brought home a beautiful Evergreen - sometimes dragging it several miles. Mother
was busy after we had gone to bed baking cut out cookies which she frosted and decorated with colored
sugar - some to be used to decorate the Christmas tree. We, the kids, strung popcorn, which was later
used by Khris Kingle to trim the tree.
===========
Emma's narration for the tape, written by Cilla:
The day before Christmas we got up early and several of the older girls were assigned to bake loaves
and loaves of stolen. After a good hearty meal at noon, came bath time in a large galvanized wash tub
194
placed on the kitchen floor. The reservoir of the old kitchen stove was filled with mater and many
kettles on top of the stove were also filled to assure that there was enough hot water for all of the baths.
The little ones had their bath first, and then up the line until everybody had their bath. Emma's Note:
There wasn't much time to soak and not much water to soak in. (Jean's Note: This is amusing, as after
we had an inside bathroom on our Spencer Road farm near Appleton, my Mother soaked and soaked, to
relax. Or she sat in front of the cook stove on a chair or in front of the furnace register on the living
room floor. She always was cold and ached a lot, with arthritis. It may have been a thyroid deficiency
too, as I have the same problem, so identified.)
=========
Lyd's narrative, written by Cilla:
Later we had a hurried lunch, using some of the stolen, and then everybody scrambled into their Sunday
best to attend the Christmas eve program at church. Dad and the boys had prepared the sleigh box with
hay, hot bricks, and blankets, with two lanterns at the back. When we were ready to go, the horses with
their sleigh bells, were hitched to the sleigh and away we went. It was three miles to church. When we
arrived it was all lit up for the festivities and program in which we all had a part. There was a 20 foot
tree with decorations and candles, and packages piled under the tree for the children. Before the
program, four men with long poles came to the front and lit the candles. They also had four long poles
with wet clothes wrapped around the top to care for the candles and prevent a fire.
The children's program was interspersed with the children and the congregation singing Christmas
Carols. The church was packed to the hilt with parents and with children too young to take part in the
program, sitting on their parents lap. After the program, every child received a brown paper bag with
nuts, cookies, candy and an apple. As we left the church, our horses that had been blanketed and hitched
to the post for about two hours, had frosted nostrils and were now raring to go home. After we reached
home, all the children went to bed.
Cilla's narrative again:
Mother and Dad and the older children decorated the tree and put the gifts under it. Then came the
surprises. In the early morning when we took our gifts to Mothers and Dad's bed they Ahh'd and Ohh'd
as though they had never seen them.
On Christmas morning Mother and Dad attended church. We, the children, stayed home and played
with the toys. At noon we served a scrumptious dinner, possibly venison, to about fifteen or more
people. After dinner the women did the dishes and the men went hunting.
On December 26 we celebrated second Christmas Day. It was then that our neighbors, the Smazels,
would come to our house. The candles on the tree were lit and we and the Smazel children had a
program all our own by reciting the parts we had at the church and at the public school program. After
the program Mr. Smazel and Dad would play Schafskopf (Sheepshead cards, only done in Wisconsin,
195
and mostly by Germans) and Mrs. Smazel and mother visit.
We, the children, would play games. Later refreshments were served. Then at New Years, the
Kippenhan Family would visit the Smazels and the program would be repeated. The next year we
would reverse the dates. We were very good friends. I, Cilla, still correspond with Edna Smazel.
(Jean's Note: My Mother talked about the Smazels a lot and also the Bohs.)
After the children were grown the folks moved to Appleton, and all the relatives that lived in Appleton
came to the Kippenhan home at 1315 So. Mason St. on Christmas Eve for Open House.

Memories of Granfather
"When I ate breakfast with Grandpa, at the kitchen table, he ate his breakfast cereal with a knife. He
always had puffed rice, the white stuff. He lined it up on his knife, like old Europeans lind up peas on a
knife to eat, and inserted that into his mouth. He only drank grape juice, no other kind. He did not
converse with me or anyone else during the entire meal, or hardly ever. He and I ate breakfast out of
beautiful old bowls that had fruit painted on the inside bottom, and gold edging around the top. They
probably were gifts from flour or sugar purchases years ago. There were three of these bowls left, and a
larger serving bowl when Cilla went to the nursing home that I am fortunate enough to have. Whenever
I look at them, I think of Grandpa and I eating breakfast together. Somehow Hilda or Cilla rarely sat
down to eat with us, maybe Hilda a bit more. They made themselves busy in the pantry. By Jean
(Wickesberg) Sommers.

August spoke and read German fluently. He was known as 'Augie' to family and
friends.
The following is a transcription of a letter that August Kippenhan wrote to his sister
Emma while serving in the U.S. Army during World War I. He was stationed at
Camp Mills (on Long Island), New York. It was the Labor Day weekend of 1918.
Sept. 3rd, 1918 Camp Mills Long Island, New York
Dear Sis Emma:
How is the kid? I'm fine and dandy, and hope the same for you. (i) am still in
Camp Mills - have no idea how long we will stay here or not, or where we will go
from here. And I don't care because one place is just like the other in the Army.
Had a battalion parade yesterday and close order drill all day today but it isn't so
hard on me no more as it was. (I) feel better here too, nor I did at Camp Grant. (I)
guess them shots are starting work out of my system for the second one took me
pretty hard. we are sleeping in tents now. This is a funny country or rather funny
weather. In the daytime it is pretty warm but in the evening the ocean breeze is
pretty fresh. I was talking with some of the fellows that live around here Sunday.
They say that this is the first company that stayed here over three or four days and I
don't believe that this place was selected for us if that wreck wouldnâ€™t't have
happened. They say that they always closed this camp around the fifteenth, so if
that is the case we will stay here about two weeks yet, but nobody knows.
Well, we had payday today but those two days are spent going to camp. They beat
us out of that but we should worry. They certainly have all kinds of entertainments
in the Y.M.C.A. here. First, they had a couple of clowns here tonight and now they
are having a four-piece orchestra showing off from New York. Guess I will go out
on a pass tomorrow - spend some of my month's wages because they always say
what's the use of money if doesn't circulate. But believe me, it circulates here.
Well, you can't blame they boys - this life is only a short one so it might just as well
be a gay one. An Aug. is going to have it while he is out, and if he comes back he
will make up for it again , and if not he don't need it.
we had bayonet drill today. That is pretty hard on the muscles if you have a
198
nine-pound gun and a bayonet on the end of it hanging in your arms for about an
hour steady. Well, you said Pa thought I got skinny already since I came here.
Don't know whether I did or not but I know I am about four inches narrower around
the belt as I was when I came to Camp Grant. "Spose it naturally would take some
meat from a draft horse if you'd take him off from the wagon and put him on the
racetrack. I know it always did off Pa's Queen and I believe that she is tougher nor
I am. (I) was going to weigh down at the canteen tonight but the scale was out of
order so I couldn't. But after all we have no kicking because some of the
companies drill their men harder nor they do us. But Compnay "F" had to check
down to because most of their men were pretty near all in.
So you see we have no kicking. The Capt. came through this morning and gave our
sergeant orders to give us more rest. He said "give them more rest and when you
drill them, make them put more snap into it." Guess that is right to, always thought
I was slow buth they have some here that are a whole lot slower. Of course, they
have some that are a whole lot better but I am getting along fine since I got out of
the Depot Brigade, but that was a hellhole, right. I was tickled that the only left me
there a week. Well, has Chessy made up his mind yet whether he wants to work for
Uncle Sam yet or not? 'Spose it will be kind of hard for him to part with the old
Maxwell he's the boy for he's built for a pacer. Guess he won't talk so wise after he
has been here a couple of months. How is Oscar D. coming along? Does he
always run into the ditch yet at dad's gate, or has he changed his route by this time?
If you don't know, ask Cilla. "Spose she can tell you hare are the shindigs coming
around there. Do they still keep them going or not? How are the Socialists
coming? Do they still have their parties yet or not? 'Spose they do.
Say, Em - met a feller from Withee here at the show last night. He said his name
was "Barns". He said he know Cilla well. Guest this all of this time as this show is
pretty interesting to night. Will tell you the rest if I come back. So bye bye from
your loving bro. - August Kippenhan.
Excuse all scribbling a mistakes for I am always in a hurry as you know, especially
when I am writing letters to get away from it, so bye bye. And tell everyone hellow
for me. Tell Hilda U.S. thought about more of the schoolmoms nor he did of the
boys. Yesterday was labor day and it surely was for us.
=======================
August A. Kippenhan (By Herb Kippenhan Jr.)
August was a great deal like his father John Kippenhan in appearance, although
smaller in stature.
199
He served in World War I, and was the victim of a gas attach by the German forces.
He was transported back to the United States, where he partially recovered in a
military a military hospital in Philadelphia. His father made at least two trips to
Philadelphia, the first to visit his son, and the second to bring him home to
Wisconsin. When August's health improved, he resumed farming.
In addition to running the Kippenhan famr, August and his brother Carl also were
involved in raising and breaking horses. Their father John would journey west into
the Dakotas and purchase horses, and bring them back to Wisconsin. August and
carl would break and train the horses, and then they would be sold.
After his brother Carl's death in 1946, the Kippenhan farm was sold and August
moved to Appleton, Wisconsin. He moved in with his father and sisters on Mason
Street. (He helped take car of his Dad who was ill with prostrate cancer. By Jean
(Wickesberg) Sommers). He went to work for his brother Roland Kippenhan at
P.G. Miron Construction Company. He worked for the firm for many years as a
mason's laborer. He was probably seventy years of age when he retired.
August wasn't a large man, perhaps 5'8" and 155 pounds. But he'd done very
physical labor his entire adult life, and he was extremely strong. To shake hands
with him made you feel that you'd grabbed a coil of spring steel wire. He had a full
head of short, curly, hair. This was unlike most of his brothers (Ted, Art, Roland,
John) who were balding.
Apart from his work, August had tree princeiple interests. In no specific order, he
enjoyed hunting, fishing, and arguing. He also played a pretty fair game of
shafskopf (a card game popular among Wisconsin's German Americans - a
common Kippenhan past time). If you didn't know August, his love of a good
verbal scrap could be intimidating. I know that I found it so as a young boy, when
we'd visit with he and his sisters at 1315 South Mason Street in Appleton,
Wisconsin. As I got a bit older, I realized that August just enjoyed the debate.
Then it was no longer a personal attack, but a war of wits.
==========
Greg Kippenhan, August's nephew, shared the following story me some years ago
(August 1997). Greg has worked for P.G. Miron ever since he graduated from high
school.
August worked as a mason's laborer afor the company. In the hot weather months,
he'd bring a six pack of beer to work and drop into his water barrel to keep it cool.
When he got thirsty, he'd pop the top off a beer and solve the problem. It was his
abit to mix a fresh batch of mortar just before the lunch break. That way, right after
200
lunch he could just add a little water, mix the 'mud' just a bit, and ease into the
afternoon of labor.
One day a couple of his co-workers snuck off during lunch and put a huge rock in
August's waiting batch of mortar. Augie finished lunch, went out and put some
water in his batch of mortar, and started to mix it up. C*L*U*N*K! He never said
a word to anyone. He just wheeled the batch of mortar, rock and all, to the edge of
the construction site. He dumped the mess out, and went back to mix a fresh batch
of mortar. No satisfaction was offered the pranksters.

13

Sunburst Journal
"Miss Kippy" known for sprit of adventure, high ideals, profound caring, selfless
dedication.
"Sunburst was her heart, her soul, her life," says Rev. John McFadden of Appleton
First Congregational Church, who performed the funeral service for Cilla
Kippenhan. "She was the kind of woman" McFadden reflects "who we can
describe using the term 'saint; without feeling self-conscious.
Long time co-worker and friend Mary Ann Bolton agrees, "She was a wonderful
person, an absolutely outstanding woman."
A graduate of Stevens Point Teacher's College, Cilla spent her first three years in
the classroom at Withee in Clark County. She traveled across the country to work
in Washington state for a year, then returned to the Midwest, where she tought
three years at Greenwood, Wisconsin.
Bolton says it was Cilla's sister Louise who talked her into coming to what was
then the Winnebago Indian School, "Blut she encouraged her not to stay", Bolton
recalls, because of the inherent financial hardships. Louise warned Cilla that she
might lose her pension.
However, the dedication that marked the life of Cilla Kippenhan was not
diminished by concerns of pensions - or any kind of financial hardship.
Rev. McFadden explains, " Cilla tought in an era when to be a teacher at the
201
Winnebago School was to live on campus." There were times, she told him, when
the whole staff went an entire year without being paid; room and board was their
only compensation.
Yet her accounts revealed a spirit of adventure in meeting the adversities of those
years. McFadden remembers her cheerfully describing a long period when mutton
from the federal government was the only available meat, although she admitted
that trying to creatively use it "wore a little thin."
Because of the respect and admiration she earned, her responsibilities often
included filling for the school founder Rev. Benjamin Stucki during his absence.
Files and personal recollections also credit her with serving as head matron and
director of housekeeping.
Bit it was as a teacher that she is most fondly remembered. Sande Sliwicki, a
former Winnebago Indian School student who no lives in Wausau, met "Miss
Kippy" in 1956. "She was very strict, demanding lady, but also very fair," Sliwicki
said.
A highlight in Silwicki's host of cherished memories about Miss Kippy involves a
question she once posed about personal appearance. "She always looked so nice,
her hair done, makeup and earrings," Siliwicki recalls. In childlike curiosity, I
looked up at her one day and asked, "Why do you always dress up?" Miss Kippy
responded, "Because child, if you ever introduce me to someone as your friend, I
want you to be proud of me."
Cilla Kippenhan imparted her values through example. "What I admired and
appreciated most bout her was her commitment and dedication," Sliwicki says.
"She was totally devoted to us. Totally"! "And she always expected us to do our
best," Sliwicki remembers, "even if it was mopping a floor."
Sliwicki didn't forget Miss Kippy when she left Sunburst, and Miss Kippy didn't
forget her, either. Through the years, Miss Kippy stayed in touch with former
students by underwriting up to 50 monthly subscriptions for a devotional guide
called "The Upper Room". She continued the gifts until just four years ago.
Miss Kippy always had encouragement to offer and praise to lavish on her former
students. When Sliwicki returned to college as a mother of three to finish her
degree, Miss Kippy bolstered her efforts by telling her "Iv'e bragged about you."
Sliwicki confirms, "She always took pride in my accomplishments."
Miss Kippy's deep caring for her students continued long after they left Sunburst.
When Sliwicki's first husband committed suicide, Miss Kippy drove to Wausau to
202
be with her.
Sliwicki eventually remarried. She visted Miss Kippy in Appleton a few years ago,
taking along her family. "She made us a meal -- at age 92"! she exclaimed. At
home following the visit, Sliwicki was overcome by a profound sense of loneliness.
"Being in her home made me realize that that part of my life was a good part -sanctuary, a home for me when my whole world had been torn apart. People at the
school gave up the promise of high-income careers for us. I called the moment I
ealked in the door to tell her how much she had meant to me through my life."
"She was a role model to me when I had no one," Sliwicki continues. "She will
always be special to me."
Rev. McFadden confirmed that Sunburst remained the center Cilla Kippenhan's
life, even after her retirement. He knows, for example, that she took money out of
her own back account to help tide Sunburst over during some of its more difficult
times. "Even the most committed and dedicated among us can't conceive of whit it
means to completely give of yourself the way she did," McFadden says.

Cilla Kippenhan will long be remembered for her selfless dedication, her high

"Goldendale" is liked by Men
A deal has been closed by Edward Abeling wherein the Frank Saxton 400 acre
ranch in the Spring Creek section was sold to Haltenhof and Franz (Ted). The
purchasers are Montana cattlemen from near Miles City and have spent the past
eighteen months seeing a desireable location in various parts of Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
The new owners took possession of the ranch last Satuday. They intend to stock it
with purebred cattle and sheep for which the farm is particularly well adapted. this
ranch is generally considered the best place in that locality. This is the biggest cash
deal made in the Klickitat Valley for some time.
Franz, a son-ion-law of Halltenhof has looked at farms all over Oregon and in
various parts of Wshington. He said: "After viewing all of the farm territory in
Oregon and Washingotn, I felt that Goldendale and Vicity held the greatest
opportunity for development."
The above was taken from a Washington paper. Theodroe Franze is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Franz of the West Side.

George W. Schmitt, who carries on general merchandising at the corner of Maryland and South
Fifteenth Streets, is a native of Sheboygan Town, born January 11, 1864. His parents George and
Henrietta (Arnholter) Schmitt, are natives, respectifely, of Hesse-Nassau and Westphalia, Germany. In
his early life, the father learned the trade of harness-maker, becoming a finished workman. When about
twenty-one years of age, he emigrated to the United States and after working some three years in New
Jersey, came to Sheboygan, among the early settlers. In company with Julius Leber, he opened a
harness shop in this city, but later disposed of his interets and turned his attention to farming. He now
owns a good farm two miles north of the city limits. In this county he married Miss Arnholter, who is
also a early settler here. Of this union six children were born, though but four of them are now
surviving. William, who was educated in the public schools and the buisness college of the Chair City,
and also in the commercial college at Indianapolis, Ind., has been a merchant's clerk for a number of
years, but is now book keeper for the gentleman whos name heads thes record; George W. is the next in
order of birth; Otto is at home and operates the farm; and Clara is the wife of B. Koerner, of Sheboygan.
George W. Schmitt is a young man of good buisness ability, as is shown by his successful career.
Having received a good practical education in the Evergreen City schools, he went to Indianapolis to
work for his uncle. Returning home, he worked for some thime in Garton's toy factory. During the
succeding two years, he super intended Dr. Carl Muth's stock farm and then clerked a short time for
Johann & Derwaldt. On the 31st of March, 1889, he purchased a stock of goods of Albert Kaems and
Charles Spaude, who were conducting buisness at the place where Mr. Schmitt has since continued it.
He purchased a grocery stock, and has since added a dry goods department. His large double store is
filled with a carefully selected stock. The dry goods room is 22 x 60 feet, and the grocery department is
of the same dimensions, while in the rear is a pool room, 20 x 24 feet. The front part of the structure is
two-story, but the rear but one story. Mr. Schmitt has a good trade, which has been attracted by his
courteous and fair treatment of his customers. He is a gentleman of good habits, and is a member of the
German Lutheran Church. With the exception fo $700, he has made by his own industry and good
management all that he possess. Though of slight build, Mr. Scmitt is a man of exceptional muscular
power. He has been a resident of Sheboygan County all his life where he is well known and highly
repected.

Biography - Ted Kippenhan
Theodore John Kippenhan was born January 4, 1888 in the Town of Mead, Clark County, Wisconsin.
He was the eldest child of John Nicholas Kipenhan and Minnie Franz. He attended Mead Township
School through the eighth grade and then went to work. In the winters he worked in logging camps, and
his first few summers he worked on farms in the southern part of the State of Wisconsin.
He met Martha Susanne Awe while working at a sawmill run by her father (Henry Awe) in Clark
County. The couple married in 1915 and settled on a farm close to that of Theodore's father. They
farmed that land continuously for a period of forty one years, retiring in 1956. The couple raised six
children, sons Alvin (Emma Williams), Herbert (Helen Hintz), and Paul (Julia Scheele), and daughters,
Norma (Mrs. Emory Sieger), Esther (Mrs. Elmer Meinhardt), and Rose, (Mrs. Price Davis).
Theodore was always a pretty busy man. In addition to running an eighty acre farm, he served as a
deacon of the Immanuel Lutheran Church for several years. He also served as chairman, assessor, and
treasurer of the Town of Mead at various times.
After retirement, the couple lived with their daughter and son-in-law (the Meinhardt's) who farmed near
Longwood, Clark County for five years. In 1961, they moved to an apartment in Greenwood.
Theodore was hospitalized on November 27, 1966 as a result of a stroke. He died on November 28 in
Neillsville Memorial Hospital.
In May, 1967, Martha moved to Kenosha to live her daughter and son-in-law (the Sieger's). She died in
a Kenosha hospital as a result of a stroke on July 9, 1967.
While having a limited formal education, Theodore and Martha were both very bright people. As was
the case with the children of many German settlers, both spoke, read and wrote English and German
fluently.
Theodore had a life-long interest in horses. He'd made his living with them (as a logger and a farmer).
In his retirement, he always was attracted to things like rodeos, parades where horses were featured
(e.ge. - The Old Time Circus Parade in Milwaukee, etc.)
He also had a continuing interest in technology. He's experienced enormous change in his lifetime. As
234
a child and a young man, people traveled by horseback or by rail. Before he was forty, travel by motor
vehicle (car or bus) had become the norm. By the thime he retired, travel by airplane had become
common. He was quite interested in the NASA Space Program. He'd followed the progress of the
Mercury and Gemini programs, and wondered if we'd really be able to land a man on the moon. I'm
sure that had he still been alive, he'd have stayed up late on that night in July, 1969 to watch it on
television like most other Americans.

By Lydia Kippenhan Wulf (5 August 1989) - some thoughts about her relationship with her brother Art.
"I am thinking, thinking but I can't think of Art but what the family becomes involved.
I'm sure most of you know that we were a family of 13 children living in a rural farming community (I
still feel sorry for children who do not have that experience). I, being in the middle, have experienced
the relationship of both the older and the younger group. The oldest six were well scrambled up as to
male and females, but in the middle were three girls - Cilla, I (Lydia), and Emma, and on the tail end 4
boys - Jack, Art, Carl, and Roland. Cilla was the out of doors kind of girl and I preferred to take care of
the nursery.
We were all family and whatever joys or sorrows befell one, befell all, shared equally and were a part of
it. And I believe those of us who are left, still do. Whenever a new baby arrived in our family, no one
had to be coached not to be jealous, we were jubilant as though we had received a new toy. He or she
was a Prince or Princess at the time.
I am sure we were poor, but as children we did not have wants that couldn't be fulfilled. None of us
knew the word 'poor'. We had no lack of attention or love (I speak of the 7 younger ones). The older
ones, who initiated this, were they here, would have to speak for themselves (but we always had much
attention, love, and correction as well from them.) Louise once said she had to come home to learn what
her shortcomings were!
As I was younger and loved children dearly, I probably mothered the boys more than anyone else. I
remember Art saying "Liddy, when I grow up, I will buy you a dress." He couldn't pronounce my name.
He bought me the equivalent of a new dress many times over in the showing of his live and care for me.
I will never forget the old elm tree that stood on top of the hill. Its branches and shade protected us from
the sun when we tended the animals grazing in the pasture on one side of the tree, when they wanted to
wander into the corn or grain field on the other side.
There were usually 4 or 5 of us younger children. We would divide up in pairs, 3 would watch the cattle
and two would pick wild raspberries growing in our forest just over the fence. We would also pick
tender young leaves from the plants and take all back to share with the rest of the tribe. Raspberry
sandwiches! 5 or 6 berries between two green leaves. Delicious! I dare any one of you to come up with
anything as imaginative now.
There were also several pin cherry trees along the fence by the highway. We climbed those like
squirrels and picked and ate the cherries.
Art, like everyone else in the family was always there when we needed him. That is the great joy of
being a member of a big family. We could always, as kids, entertain one another. Nothing to be bored
240
about.
Good bye, Dear One. I will always feel you near me."

Anniversary
One score and fifteen momentous years ago- Kind gracious Henry and his beloved bride, started sailing
down the sea of Matrimony:
Oft the darkening clouds would be hanging low, And stayed so for a distracting while- But even though
ill fate would strike, They'd overcome adversity with their gracious smile.
Angry waves oft would lash their deck And even defiant sharks would lash their share, But they
accepting their Crosses with patience Dethroned their griefs with their nightly prayer.
Then they encounted broken sails, the depression, When many floks as I, just couldn't win; Yet Henry
and Minnie just overcame their problems By accepting them with an optomistic grin.
They have been faithful friends and neighbors, Ever tossing kink deeds o'er the billowy sea; Giving
cheer to the hearts they encounter, And remembering simple folks as you and me.
Now in everyone's lives there comes timely Crosses And oh, how the relentless rains may pour But
Minnie merely sought God for guidance And seemingly they were blessed the more.
But far greater than their wordly assets Is their fine family they were blessed to rear, For they are just as
friendly, intelligent and happy - As they complete the circle so sublimely dear,
So now dear Hank and charming Minnie - Just keep on a sailing on lifes's boat as before, Until some day
the great God shall welcome you On to a promised land and heavenly shore.

Harley was born in Neillsville, WI on June 11, 1968. He graduated from

Harley was a soft-spoken kindhearted gentleman. He was well liked by his friends
and co-workers. He was a leader by example. The following words read during his
graveside funeral service well defined his beliefs and how he lived.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are
those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will
inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they
will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are
the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will
be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3-10
Harley is survived by, his parents Wendel and Dorothy of Neillsville, WI and two
