HUMBIRD ENTERPRISE (Humbird, Clark County, Wis.) 12/27/1924 Winscher, Rosina
(1 NOV 1850 - 21 Dec 1924) Mrs. Rosina
Winscher, a resident of this community (Humbird, Clark County,
Wis.) for the past twenty-three years, died at her home at
Nettleton's Corners last Sunday night. Death came unexpectedly,
although her health had been failing for some time. She had
performed her usual household duties Sunday, prepared the meals for
her son and granddaughter, who lived with her, and then, as nigh
came, slept peacefully over the borderland, into eternity. Miss Rosina
Winscher was born in Blumenau, Supper Silesia, Germany on Nov. 1,
1850. She grew to young womanhood in her native village, and in the
year 1868, was united in marriage with Gottlieb Winscher. They made
their home at the place of their birth until April 28, 1885, when
they immigrated with their young family to the States, locating on
a farm at Leland, Sauk Co., Wis., where relatives and friends were
residing. They lived in Sauk Co. for sixteen years, coming tot he
farm at the Corners in Dec. 1901. The home was bereft of the
husband and father eight years ago, Mr. Winscher passing away on
April 8, 1916. The grief she bore on the death of her husband was
doubled just few weeks later by the tragic death of a son. Mrs.
Winscher died Dec. 21, 1924, aged 74 years, 1 month and 20
days. The funeral was
held from the home on Wednesday afternoon and at the Lutheran
Church at Alma Center, and burial was in the family plot beside her
husband, son and daughter, in the Alma Center Cemetery. Surviving to mourn
her death are two daughters., Mrs. Susan Hanusa of Lake Geneva, and
Mrs. Emma Galster, who lives south of Alma Center, two sons, Carl
and Gottlieb, both living south of the village. A sister living at
Madison died a few years ago, and two sisters are yet living at the
old home in Germany. Twenty-one grandchildren and nine
great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends
mourn her death. Mourners from out
of town were Mrs. Henry Hanusa of Lake Geneva, John Heimlich and
son Herman of Merrimac. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
