Witnesses for wedding of Ludwig and Helene were Bernard Fiker and Minnie [Wilhelmina] Adam. Helene was from Town of Pelican in Forest County, WI.
After Ludwig's death, Helene married William Messerschmidt, a widower with 5 children. Together, Helene and William had 3 more children. He then died in 1915 of complications after surgery, so Helen had to raise all of the children by herself.
Some time in the 1920s she sold the farm. The 1930 census shows her living with the Edwin Adams family in the Township of Pella. During the summer she would often stay with the Fenns in Townsend and she enjoyed going fishing and visiting with Augusta Schultz Fenn [mother-in-law of Auguste Adams Fenn].
