New Holstein -- Chilton Times – Dec 11, 1920
Wilhelmine Ehlers was born in Germany April 13th 1840 and in 1860 she was married in her native land to Detlef Feldhuson. Six years later they immigrated to the United States coming directly to the town of New Holstein where they settled on a farm between Kiel and New Holstein village. There they remained three years and then purchased a farm of 135 acres in the northwest section of the town of New Holstein on which they resided until 1900 when they disposed of the farm and moved to the village of New Holstein.
On Aug, 17, 1902 two years later, Mr. Feldhusen died and shortly after his passing Mrs Feldhusen moved to this city where she resided several years and then went to Hayton to live with her sister, Mrs. John Holst.
Mrs. Feldhusen belonged to the type of hardy pioneer women of Calumet county who were a large factor in making it the prosperous country it is today. When she and her husband settled on their new purchase it was an unbroken forest and through their united efforts their holdings soon took on the appearance of civilization. It was no easy task but she was equal to her share of it. She was neighborly and kind and highly respected throughout the neighborhood in which she lived for many years. She was a devoted wife and mother and although her children are now grown to manhood and womanhood and all are in homes of their own, they will miss her counsel and affectionate greeting keenly.
She is survived by five sons, Fred of Charlestown, John of Garden, Mich., Henry of Beach, N. D., Edward of Milwaukee, William of Northwest Canada and three daughters, Mrs. Charles Peik of Charlestown, Mrs. J. Tennyson of Wauwatosa and Mrs. Bert Pendergrast of Mineral Springs, N. D. She also leaves to mourn her death thirty-two grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren a brother, H. J. Ehlers of Gravesville, and two sisters, Mrs. John Holst of Hayton, and a sister in Germany.
Those from outside attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson of Milwaukee, Mrs. Bert Pendergrast and daughter Frances of Mineral Springs, N. D., John Feldhusen of Garden, Mich., Henry Berg and daughter, Margaret, of Milwaukee.
