A Memory of Ann Feller Goetzman, written as part of a letter from Mary Ne ll (Coenen) Mally to her daughter Susan Mally.Dear Susan, You asked for the memories I have of my grandmother, Ann Fell er Goetzman, and so I share with you what I have, gladly. I have spoken wi th my Uncle Bob (Robert Goetzman of Kaukauna, WI) and he is going to se nd me some genealogy work done by a cousin of his. I will share that wi th you also. Remember that I was raised in Detroit and that we only visit ed my Grandmother, whom we called "Granonn" , in Wisconsin, during the su mmer months. I don't think that she ever visited us in Detroit; at lea st I don't remember any visits.It was a long ride from the southeastern corner of Michigan, around the bo ttom of Lake Michigan, through Gary , Indiana and up the western side of t he lake to Kaukauna. There were no expressways, just surface roads. My fav orite part of the trip always was Lake Shore Drive at Chicago. It literal ly followed the lakeshore for a good distance. And we always seemed to dri ve that stretch of road during a sunny afternoon and it was always beautif ul. Also, I don't remember any amount of traffic! Along the way my moth er would hand outlittle toys to us as we reached certain milestones (through Gary , after l unch, halfway, whatever!! They were also rewards for riding quietly and n ot arguing. Ann Feller Goetzman was born on September 10, 1892, I belie ve in Kaukauna, and attended Holy Cross Church and school. She was educat ed through the eighth grade, which was very usual in the early 1900's. A nd she was a Catholic throughout her life.Physically; I remember her as very short. (And remember that I was pret ty short as well because most of my memories seem to be from the time wh en I was eight, nine, ten and eleven. After that our family was too lar ge to make this trip very often.) Never overweight, but somewhat stocky. S he wasn't pretty, but was very, very neat; very soft and unassuming; ve ry quiet, very gentle. I don't remember her touching us. I have no memo ry of ever sitting on her lap. I don't think she ever read us a story .A nd actually I have no real warm, lovingmemories of her. But I ~have nice thoughts of my experiences with her! T he house where my mother grew up was (and still is located on Ducharme Str eet in Kaukauna where my cousin Lance lived for a number of years with h is wife and children) a large, white, clapboard house with a big covered f ront porch. We entered directly into the living room. It was ri wi th overstuffed furniture: a large solid-color couch and several stuffed ch airs. I remember sitting carefully on her couch with my brother Pete r. In front of us was a pretty wooden coffee table and on it was a low gla ss flower centerpiece in pastel colors; very pretty and very breakable. I 'm sure we were warned to be very careful of it! Those glass lilies were t here through all the years we visited Ducharme Street .

Biography:
A short biography from her brother, Robert Goetzman, written in 2001.Virginia Goetzman was a free spirit all of her life and enjoyed obliging h er many friends. She enjoyed trying to figure out "what made them tick." A fter she graduated from high school, she lived in Milwaukee where she atte nded college for a couple of years. She and Lester Coonen were marri ed in Holy Cross Church with the reception held in the back yard of our ho me on Desnoyer St. I remember how my dad got a little tipsy and g ot up on the picnic table and sang an old fashioned song for the crowd. L es was a self made man and installed roofing to earn his way through St. N orbert's College and then through the University of Wisconsin for h is Ph D in Biology. "Gin" as she was called and Les lived in Toledo f or a couple of years where he taught in the Biology Dept. Incidentally, G in had been baptized Lucile, but never went by that name. Then they mov ed to Detroit, where he was head of the Biology Dept. As the story goes, L es, on his way home from college one evening, stopped in a shoe store whi ch was having a sale. There was a rack of childrens shoes with about two d ozen shoes in various sizes. To the surprise of the salesperson, he boug ht the whole rack. With eleven children there was always shoes for o ne or another. Sometime during their stay in Detroit, Gin was diagnosed w ith having a brain tumor necessitating a surgical operation. Since the Uni versity of Detroit was a Jesuit School, she was inundated with prayers fr om the faculty and students. She came out of the operation with "flying co lors" and was put on exhibition the next day to all the medical studen ts as an example of the perfect operation. Upon retiring, Les and Gin mov ed to Fort Atkinson because it was near Whitewater Wisconsin which had a c ollege and a good library. After Les' death, Gin married his brother Jerome. Gin and Les are both buried in Fort Atkinson.
