Erenestine Schell (nee Bucholtz) was born in Jagow, Germany, January 12, 1859. She came to this country with her parents in 1867 and settled in Dane County, Wisconsin. After a few years they moved to South Ridge, Monroe County, Wisconsin.

The family lived for 31 years on a farm at Ridgeville and removed to Norwalk, where they lived the last 15 years.
Mrs. Schell was a quiet, unassuming woman, a kind and loving mother and a patient sufferer. She was a faithful member of the Evangelical church for many years.
