Her family and religion were the most important things to Lottie Boehler. She also liked to sew, crochet, quit and read. She was a helpmate to her husband who was a carpenter, finishing woodwork in the houses he built and also doing the bookkeeping for the business.
Lottie Ella (Ellwein) Boehler of Gillette, Wyo. and formerly of Timber Lake died Saturday, Sept. 15, 2007 at her home in Gillette.. She was 92 years old.
Lottie was born Nov. 13, 1914 on a farm five miles west of Hosmer to Ben and Philippina (Miller) Ellwein.

She finished grade school at the Cundill School and attended three years of high school at Firesteel. She completed her last year at Selby High School, graduating as Salutatorian in 1933.

In 1994, Lottie moved to Belle Fourche to be near family and in 1996 she moved to Gillette, where her daughter Frances lives. She resided at Pioneer Manor Apartments until her death.
