(19 Jul 1864 - 29 Dec 1915) Greenwood, Clark
County, Wis. people were surprised to learn of the death of Mrs.
Ralph Ferneau at Stevens Point Wednesday evening of last week. The
Stevens Point Journal of Dec. 30 says of her death: "Mrs. Ralph
Ferneau of 1412 Clark St. died at her home Wednesday evening at 6
o’clock after an illness of several days, with grippe, which
had affected her heart. While she had not been in good health for
some time and taken her bed a week ago, it was thought that she was
improving until the time of her death, which came quite
suddenly. Deceased was 51
years old and had lived in Stevens Point for four years. She came
here with her family from Greenwood, Wis., where she had lived for
30 years." The funeral was
held at the Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, rev. Dunlop preaching
the funeral services and burial taking place in the Greenwood
Cemetery. Eva Montella Oelig
was born at Greenleaf, Brown Co., Wis., July 19, 1864. She spent
her childhood and youth at Wrightstown, and was married there July
8, 1883 to Ralph P. Ferneau. Immediately after her marriage she
removed with her husband to this city, at that time only a small
settlement in the woods. The Oelig family came at that time
also. In this community
she spent the greater part of her married life, taking an active
part in the social and religious life of the place. Here a
daughter, Vera, now Mrs. James Norris of Stevens Point, was born to
them in Feb. 1890. Mrs. Ferneau was an earnest Christian and a
charter member of the Baptist Church, which was founded in those
pioneer days by a few brave hearts in the face of many
difficulties. Mrs. Ferneau went
with her husband to Stevens Point about four years ago, where she
lived till the time of her death. Deceased was 51
years old and leaves many friends both here and at Stevens Point.
Besides her husband and daughter she leaves her father, Wm. Oelig
Sr., one sister, Mrs. Frank Norris, two brothers, Fred A. Oelig of
this city and William Oelig Jr. of New Auburn, all of who were
present at the funeral (118) Obit:
