The Junk family (also seen as spelled Young) lived on a farm next to Istak Vetter and family. Lena later married Istak's grandson Henry Wagner. Henry and Lena had one daughter Matilda (Mrs. Ernest Lehrke). Matilda was born November 12, 1905 and her mother Lena died Sept 24 1906. The story was that Henry and Lena went to visit relatives in the Sheboygan area by buggy. Lena caught pneumonia and died. Lena's Calumet County death certificate reads that she died of Tuberculosis in Brothertown.
