Mrs. Anna Redig, one of the oldest residents of Washington Co., Wis., passed away in death at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Anton Mueller, of the town of Hartford, Monday evening, Feb. 17th, 1913, between 10 and 11 o’clock, of old age, aged 85 years, 5 months and 21 days.

Anna Wisnet was born in Bavaria, Germany, Aug. 27, 1827, and came to America with her parents in 1844, and settled on a farm in the town of Addison. She was married to Philip Redig on the 20th of Jan., 1850, at St. Lawrence Catholic Church.
