Margaret Hertel September 16, 1922 Chilton Times

The community was saddened on Sunday morning to hear that Mrs. John Hertel had died at her home on South Madison Street that morning. Mrs. Hertel was in her usual good health on Saturday and shortly after four o'clock that day went out on the lawn to cut the grass. She had been absent from the house but a short time when her neighbor, Mrs. Lewis Rupp, came over to visit her. She inquired at the home for her and was informed by Mrs. Jas. Millay, a daughter, that she had gone out on the lawn. Mrs. Rupp said that she did not notice her there, whereupon both the women and Mr. Millay went to the lawn and found Mrs. Hertel sitting on the grass unconscious. She was carried into the house and a physician summoned who upon examination informed the husband and family that she has suffered a stroke of paralysis. Members of the family in this vicinity and at Milwaukee were immediately notified and all were at her bedside when the final summons came Sunday morning, except her eldest son, Theodore, who failed to reach her before death came.

Margaret Baivier, daughter of the late Joachim and Elizabeth Baivier, was born Nov. 27, 1859, on a farm in the town of New Holstein, near the village of Kiel. She grew to womanhood in that neighborhood and on Nov. 7, 1876 was married at the Catholic Church at Meeme to John Hertel of that town. In February 1877 they came to Chilton and located on what is known as the John Mero farm a half mile south of this city on the Charlesburg road, which Mr. Hertel had purchased the year before. They resided on that farm until Nov. 1919 when they turned the farm over to their sons, Alfred and Chris and moved into the house they had purchased on South Madison street and in which they enjoyed the fruits of their labor.

Mrs. Hertel was an active, energetic woman and enjoyed working among her flowers and in her garden. She was a devoted wife and an ideal mother, always planning for the interest of her husband and her children whom she idolized only as a true wife and mother can. She was charitable and neighborly, ever ready to lend a helping hand in case of sickness or misfortune among her friends. She was a devout Christian, a regular attendant at St. Mary's church and a willing worker in its advancement.

She is survived by her husband and companion, whose sorrow is deep indeed, four sons, Theodore S of Milwaukee, Thomas J., Alfred and Chris of this place and three daughters, Mrs. James Millay, Mrs. Joseph Harlow and Miss Minnie Hertel. She is also survived by a brother, Edward Baivier of Milwaukee, and three sisters, Mrs. Chris Casper of Milwaukee, Mrs. Nick Klauck and Mrs. Emil Rasch of Milwaukee.
