Voigt, Betty Ann (21 February 1953 – 29 July 2024)

Betty Ann Voigt, or known as “Grandma Betty” to many- the beloved owner of Deerview, age 71, of Hatfield, gained her angel wings and passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 29, 2024.

Betty was born on February 21, 1953, to Dorothy and Phillip Abbott in Sparta. Betty grew up in Cataract and lived next to the United Methodist Church where she was baptized and confirmed. She was very involved in and taught Sunday School and vacation Bible studies in her youth. She graduated from Sparta High School in 1971. A year later she gave birth to her son Chris, the center of her universe. Betty worked for the Department of Social Services in Monroe County, she spent over 20 years working at Fort McCoy as a secretary and also was actively involved with organizing their picnics and parties at the base until her retirement there, and she also worked part-time at the Mug in Hatfield. On June 19, 1999, she married the love of her life, Doug Voigt, on the pontoon on Lake Arbutus. Together they owned, operated, and lived at Deerview together where they enjoyed their time and made many beautiful memories together before Doug passed away on July 24, 2006, leaving Betty absolutely devastated.

In her younger years, Betty loved playing softball with her girls' CIA team. She loved to race her car and participated in the Powder Puff Demo Derby. She was a member of the P.T.O. Association, Cataract Sportsman’s Club, and Tavern League of Wisconsin. She had a special place in her heart for her Black Labs- the King, Prince, Duke, and Dutchess of Deerview. She also loved feeding and watching her birds. She enjoyed camping for many years on the lake in Hatfield, working on crosswords, cheering for her shuffleboard teams, shaking dice for shots with her customers, stuffing the jukebox full of money, and playing her favorite songs to sing and dance to. Betty was an avid Packer Fan and always made sure she had food for every game. She will continue to ring her bell in Heaven for the Packers. She will be remembered for her famous Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts, and at any other time making sure no one is left with an empty belly. She would have fed the whole world if she could have done it. Most of all, she lived her life the way she wanted- to the fullest with her family and friends and a world that revolved around her grandchildren.

Neillsville -St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church (Celebrates 100 years - 1986)

This Sunday, May 4, 1986, will mark one of two Centennial Highlights for St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church, 711 W. 5th St., in Neillsville. It will be a special Sunday, with a number of worship services, guest speakers, a congregational dinner, and a number of other activities taking place.

Special worship services, at the normal times of 8:00 and 10:00 a.m., will begin the festivities. Pastor Jon Wolff, who served St. John’s as their Vicar during the year of 1982-83, will be the guest speaker during these services. Pastor Wolff is now serving St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Boyd, Minnesota and Bethany Ev. Lutheran Church of Granite Falls, Minnesota. These morning services will also feature the choir singing, an instrumental group providing special music, and the Church Council serving refreshments after the early service.

A noon congregational dinner will be served, sponsored by the Centennial Committee and served by the ladies of the P.T.O. Friends of St. John’s are invited to share this buffet dinner.

A special afternoon service will be held at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor James Lindloff as guest speaker. Pastor Lindloff is the son of Pastor Norman Lindloff who served as pastor of St. John’s for about 25 years, until 1984. Pastor James Lindloff grew up in Neillsville and is no himself a minister, serving Martin Luther Ev. Lutheran Church in Forest Lake, Minnesota.

For this special occasion, Anniversary Historical Booklets which include a pictorial directory of the congregation will be available. These are being offered by the Centennial Committee. Also Anniversary Plates and Anniversary Bells will be available from the Ladies’ Aid. The public is invited to all segments of this celebration.

St. John’s has chosen, “A Century of God’s Love” as a theme for this 100th Anniversary celebration. This theme is reflected in the Historical Booklet, the Sunday Bulletins, and on the anniversary plates and bells. It was 100 years ago in January of 1886 that the congregation got its start here in Neillsville. St. John’s start was a bit unusual in that it began with its school.

It asked to have a young man assigned from the seminary to the Wisconsin Synod, to Neillsville to open and conduct a Christian Day School. This was done in January 1886 by Mr. H. H. Ebert who started an 18-20 pupil school in a small office on a side street in the heart of the city. Since he was a seminary student, he also conducted church services on Sunday afternoon in a rented building. Thus St. John’s began with a school, and church services tacked on. St. John’s Lutheran School exists to this day. This year it has about 40 students and 2 1/2 teachers, although at times during its 100 year history it has had almost 150 students and as many as 4 teachers on its staff.

The church itself was organized on September 6, 1886. This occasion will be noted with the second highlight of this centennial year of 1886; when September 7, 1986, becomes a special day.

During its100 years, St. John’s has been served by eight different pastors. Pastor F.J. Eppling, Jr. became the first resident pastor in April of 1886; he served until 1890. Other pastors include Christian Doehler, 1890-1892; Fredrich Thrum, 1892-1904; Herman Brandt, 1904-1928; William Baumann, 1928-1948; Alfred Schewe, 1948-1959; Norman Lindloff, 1959-1984; and Richard Weber, 1985-the present.

CHURCH BUILDINGS

St. John’s has occupied two sites in our city. It has had two church buildings, two school buildings, and two different parsonages. It’s first church was built in 1887, on the corner of Oak & Fifth Streets. This building, with a number of remodeling’s and enlargements served the congregation for 82 years. It was replaced by the present church, at 711 W. 5th Street, which was finished and dedicated to the lord’s service in 1968.

St. John’s first school building was built in 1890, on Oak Street directly north of the church. It served the church until 1955, with one major enlargement in 1906. This building still serves Neillsville today, as the Senior Citizen Center on the corner of Oak and 6th Streets. During 1955, St. John’s built its present school building at 805 W. 5th Street.

The first parsonage for St. John’s was located on the corner of Oak and 4th Streets and the present parsonage is located on 5th Street, just east of the church. This home was built at the same time as the church, in 1968.

St. John’s today, a congregation of about 775 souls, with its roots a part of Neillsville for the past 100 years, its members are using the opportunity which this anniversary offers, to thank God for the past 100 years of His love, to work for Him in the present, and to plan to continue to serve him in the future.

Rev. Richard Weber is the current pastor at St. John’s. The staff of St. John’s school includes, principal and upper grades teacher Mr. Terry Schallert, middle grades teacher, Mrs. Sharon Nemitz, and lower grades, teacher Mrs. Kelley Schallert.
