"Nytes Family" by Clara Nytes Rademacher (clipped from The Post-Crescent Appleton, Wisconsin)
I was born in 1920 on a farm my father, August Nytes, bought in the Town of Buchanan, Outagamie County. My parents, August and Johanna (Lorenz) Nytes, left Sheboygan Falls and came to the Kaukauna area to start their married life together in 1909. Life on a farm at that time was quite primitive: No indoor plumbing, rural electricity hadn't arrived and there were no conveniences of any kind. There was a small log barn with a wooden floor. By 1928, it was replaced with a large, hip-roofed one. The house had to be replaced when a fire destroyed it in 1934. The Fox River traversed through the far end of the 80-acre Nytes family farm. So we, the seven Nytes kids, had a wonderful place to explore and to watch the coal barges that daily hauled coal from Green Bay to Kaukauna and Kimberly. One half mile up the road was a one-room country school called the Military Junction School. All the Nytes kids attended at one time or other. There were about 28 pupils in grades one through eight, two outhouses and a woodshed. My grandfather, Antone Nytes was brought to the United States from Germany by his parents, Michael and Josephine Nytes in 1846. My dad, August, their son, was born in 1881. He was one of 12 children born to them. In the winter of 1887 four of my father's siblings, Julia, Josephine, George and Frank, ages 2, 4, 7, and 9 died in an epidemic of smallpox. My mother, Johanna (Lorenz) Nytes' parents were Adam and Helena (Ries) Lorenz. Parents of my grandpa Adam Lorenz were Henry and Katherine (Kircher) Lorenz, both born in Germany, he in Saxony and she in Alsace. They came to the United States in 1849. My grandpa was one of four children born to them. My grandpa, Adam Lorenz, and his wife, Helena, subsequently had 10 children, one of them being Johanna Lorenz, who with my father, August Nytes, ended up living in Outagamie County where seven children were born to them, one of them being my brother, Aloys Nytes, who still lives on the farm near the Fox River in Outagamie County.
Obituary: Clara Cecilia Nytes Rademacher, passed away on Sunday, December 26, 2010 surrounded by her family at St. Paul Home Kaukauna. She was born on November 4, 1920 to August and Johanna (Lorenz) Nytes and grew up with six siblings on the family farm on the bank of the Fox River near Wrightstown. She attended a one room country school nearby. Although circumstances only allowed her to complete grade 8, she was an intelligent, creative woman and wrote in her memoirs “Learning is a process that goes on all your life.” On July 22, 1943 she married Allen Rademacher at St. Francis in Hollandtown, and began the busy life of a farmwife, raising six children. She loved to tell the story of living in their garage for five months in 1952 with four small children, while their farmhouse was torn down and a new one built. When the kids were old enough, Clara found time to take up oil painting, which she loved. She was also an excellent seamstress, knitter and gardener and was a member of the Calumet County Homemakers for many years. She and Allen loved bird watching, canoeing and all of nature. They traveled with family all over the U.S., from the east to west coast, Canada, often to the Gulf States, and one special trip to Hawaii. She also loved to write about their trips and about “the old days,” often getting articles published in local newspapers. She enjoyed corresponding with a pen pal in Australia for over 30 years. Above all she was a loving mother, concerned foremost about the happiness and safety of her children. The family wished to thank the compassionate staff of Primrose Lane at St. Paul Home. Also the staff of Calumet County Homecare who helped Clara from 1992-2009. Clara is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law; three daughters and two sons-in-law; eight grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; and one brother-in-law, Ambrose Hammen. She was preceded in death by her husband, Allen, and six brothers and sisters; Herb (Eleanor) (Colette) Nytes, Aloys (Edith) Nytes, Janet (Art) Bruecker, Mert (Jerome) Haen, Helen (Joseph) Mirsberger and Sister Rosemary Nytes.
