When we talk about the good old days, I'm sure our children of today have no idea what we mean. The Old Fashioned Christmas, when we never saw our tree until after the Christmas Eve Service; when we were satisfied with a puzzle, a new box of colors or a coloring book; when Sundays were a day of leisure with a treat of chicken and ice cream, and afternoons were spent doing things together as a family after attending church...When our clothes were made of flour and feed sacks that were in floral prints.When all the butchering was homemade and done in our homes - Herman and Emma Schrank really knew how to make sausage, kopfwurst, blood sausage, and all the other goodies. When we had to pick up potatoes by hand - at the age of 4 and 5 we were out helping just like the adults. When we walked two to three miles to go to neighborhood sleighride parties on Sundays. When we spent every day (expect Sundays) picking cucumbers - the William and Edna Klitzke Family were well noted for all the cucumbers and strawberries they had for sale. When all the neighbors worked together, going from one place to another to thresh, cut wood or shred corn. Emma Schrank took the children of William and Edna Klitzke in one weekdays so that they could get a Christian Education. Many good memories of our past and present linger. They were all hard-working farmers.--Remembrances by Lorna Slaney.9

Ferdinand Schrank was born in the town of Gross Schonberg, in the county of Dramburg, in the state of Pomerania, Germany (today located in Poland). The town is now called Szczytniki. Ferdinand grew up and married Bertha Roloff while they both resided in their homeland of Germany. There they had two children, Reinhard and Gustav. In March of 1882, the family packed their belongings, left their home and headed for the German port of Bremen. There they boarded a ship which brought them to New York several weeks later. They settled on a farm southwest of Loganville, Wisconsin, where they lived most of their lives. On the 1900 census, Ferdinand is listed as being able to read, speak and write english. It also states that he owned his own farm. Ferdinand and Bertha had seven more children after arriving in the US. On January 21, 1914, Ferdinand swore his Oath of Allegiance to the USA, and became a citizen. Many persons who had been living in the US and had immigrated from Germany through the years, had not bothered to become naturalized. However, when WW I broke out, most rushed to become citizens so that they would not be deported back to Germany. Ferdinand died on 20 oct 1917, of lockjaw. He was 62 years old. Bertha died on 21 May 1947 at her home. She was 86.6

Life EventDateDescription
Birth22 November 1925Arlene Marian Krohn was born on 22 November 1925 at Reedsburg, Sauk, Wisconsin.
She was the daughter of William Frederick Krohn and Alta Leona Benseman.
Marriage23 October 1948Elmer Herbert Steinweg married Arlene Marian Krohn at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Reedsburg, Wisconsin, on 23 October 1948.

This was the same day that her husband Elmer passed away 16 years earlier. She was born on November 22, 1925, in Reedsburg, to William and Alta Krohn. Arlene was baptized at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on December 20, 1925, and was confirmed in her Faith on April 2, 1939. She attended St. Peter’s Lutheran Grade School and graduated from Reedsburg High School in 1945. Following her high school graduation, Arlene attended Sauk County Normal School. On October 23, 1948, Arlene married Elmer Steinweg at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. They were blessed with 52 years of marriage. Together they raised three daughters on the family dairy farm.
Arlene was one of the most loving and positively-focused people that God ever created. Her love for her Lord, for her family, and for her friends was limitless. She gave her daughters wisdom, encouragement, support, assurance, and fostered their relationship with the Lord.
Arlene loved to travel and she went on many trips around the United States and Canada. She enjoyed taking photographs of the places she visited, and she created scrapbooks about her travels. She was a talented seamstress, a great cook, and a very skilled card player. But most of all, Arlene was fun to be around. She saw the beauty in nature and the best in people. Her favorite times were spent with family and her many friends.
Arlene is survived by her three daughters – Sharon Mylrea (Wayne) of McFarland, Susan Strong (Jeff) of Fond du Lac, and Sandra Herritz (Robb Johnson) of Reedsburg. Arlene is also survived by her eight grandchildren – Ryan (Megan) Mylrea, Allyson (Ryan) Thut, Brent Mylrea, Jonathan Strong, Thomas Strong, Jennifer Strong, Megan Herritz and Samantha Herritz and Timothy Herritz. Five great grandchildren also survive Arlene – Kendal Roecker, Chase Roecker, Rylee Roecker, Zoey Roecker and Mason Thut. Arlene is further survived by her sister-in-law in Kentucky, Willanna Steinweg. In addition to her parents, Arlene was preceded in death by her husband Elmer on November 5, 2000.
Arlene’s family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the staff at the Sauk County Health Care Center who lovingly cared for her at the end of her earthly journey.

Life EventDateDescription
Birth20 September 1935Gerald Thomas Denny was born at Empire, Leelanau, Michigan, on 20 September 1935.
He was the son of Otto Fredrick Denny and Juanita Elizabeth Dorothy Friede.
Death4 November 2021Gerald Thomas Denny died on 4 November 2021 at age 86 Gerald "Jerry" Thomas Denny, 86, passed away Nov. 4, 2021.
Throughout his 86 years, Jerry found enjoyment in many things; catching fish, growing vegetables in the garden, hunting in Michigan's great outdoors and making a mean pot of chili. Watching sports was a passion and he had fun hanging out with his buddies at the local barbershop. He loved nature and felt privileged to live in the magnificence of God's country here on earth.
It was a life he shared with his loving wife, Gwen, for the last 36 years. Together their favorite pastimes included watching sunsets, attending Empire United Methodist Church where they were faithful members, volunteering at the Empire Museum, being with friends and family and traveling. He was a collector of many things including tractors and was a member of the Lions Club.
Life began for Jerry on Sept. 20, 1935 in Empire. He attended Empire Agricultural School and went through all grades in the same one room schoolhouse, graduating in 1953. After graduation, he worked at General Telephone Company, later named GTE, for 35 years.
He raised his family with his first wife, Bernita Newman, in Davison, moved to St. Louis, in 1985 and then returned to Empire, to retire, in 1992.
Jerry will forever be remembered. He's dad to Robin, Ric, Tammi and Todd Denny and Tina Quinlan; stepdad to Ellen Wilcox and Tim (Judy) Personious. He will be missed by all those who fondly call him "grandpa", "great grandpa" and "big papa". Jerry also leaves behind his sister, Charlotte Harriger; sisters-and-brothers-in-law; many nieces; nephews; and cousins; as well as neighbors; good friends; and of course his main squeeze and love, Gwen.
Those who went before him and are sure to be rejoicing in his heavenly entrance include his parents, Otto Denny and Juanita Freide; sisters, Jean Plowman and Donna Lee Gilbert; brothers-in-law, Versel Harriger and Ned Plowman; and grandson, Charlie Cowley.
Thank you to the staff at MediLodge in Traverse City for all their care and compassion during Jerry's six month stay.
A funeral service honoring Jerry's life will take place on Friday, Nov. 12, 2021 at 12 p.m. at the Empire United Methodist Church. Visitation will take place one hour prior.
Jerry will be laid to rest at Empire Maple Grove Cemetery, where his final wish was to be buried in a flannel shirt and blue jeans, so please feel free to wear the same.
