ONE OF EARLY PIONEERS CALLED TO REST
Wilhelmina Gasper of the Town of Two Rivers, Where she Resided for 69 Years
Mrs. Wilhelmina Gasper, nee Stechmesser, of the Town of Two Rivers, passed away at the home of her son, Joseph, Sunday, aged seventy-eight years. She had been confined to bed with illness incident to the weakness of age for several weeks.
Sixty-nine years ago the deceased came to America with her parents from their native land, Germany, and they were among the first to settle in the wilderness north of Two Rivers. The father and sons set to work at once to erect a log hut. Their principle tool was an ax with which they chopped down the pines which were abundant and having constructed a shelter for the family they set to work clearing the land. It was a strenuous task and slow work, but year after year, they added a larger acreage to their farm until close to 200 acres were cleared and tilled.
Carl, a brother of Mrs. Gasper, aged 81, resides with his son, Emil Stechmesser in the Town of Two Rivers and another brother, Herman, makes his home with relatives in Manitowoc. All the children stuck to the farm and helped in the work of reclaiming it from the wilderness. They worked early and late and as hard labor is conducive to good character and prosperity, they all became upright and respected citizens and prosperous farmers of the community, revered by neighbors and friends.
Mrs. Gasper's husband passed away thirty-three years ago since which time she has made her home with her son, Joseph, the only surviving relative, besides her brothers.
The funeral was Wednesday afternoon from St. John's Lutheran Church, Rev. W.G. Haase officiating.
