Constance Woeber, housewife and baker, was born January 9, 1890 at Davenport,
Iowa. On October 6, 1911 she was united in marriage at Moline Illinois to
Raymond Schmitt, who preceded her in death. Constance Schmitt came to Thorp with
her husband Raymond and family back in 1924. She was the only remaining business
partner that was here at that time. She spent and labored for 50 years serving
the Thorp Community. She was a wonderful mother and person to know. Loved by so
many, always went out of her way to do good. Mother was very fervent, trudge to
church in the bitter cold and then to work. We children loved our mother dearly
and will miss her very much. She belonged to the Christian Mother’s Society of
St. Bernard’s all the years that I can remember. We miss you mom.
Surviving are four sons, James of Wabasha, Minn., Virgil of Cadott, Bernard of
Milwaukee, and Ray Reese at home; four daughters, (Mercedes) Mrs. Alex Neiman of
Wausau, Mrs. Lucille Dietsche of Wausau, (Rita) Mrs. Ed Golen of Milwaukee;
(Theresa) Mrs. Gordon Conrad of Wausau; 27 grandchildren; 13
great-grandchildren; one brother, Reese Woeber of Rock Island, Illinois; and one
sister, Mrs. Marie Ullmeyer of Rock Island, Illinois.
