Auerbach, Opf. August 15, 1962 Dear Father Alfred, our cousin: Your long letter, which brought much joy to us, is still unanswered. But every day I think in my prayers of the building of your high school, for which you and your office made so many sacrifices and did so much work. And now to our family Pritzl: On this day, the feast of Maria Ascension, I think especially about the little mountain church near the Osser (mountain) and the pilgrimage for which our religious father started out early in the morning, namely about 2:30, so that he could be there for the 10 o'clock Mass, which would be held outdoors. How he must have prayed there! The people knew him already, the man with the many children. Us two youngest ones never had the chance to go with him, for he died when I was 5 years old, and Luise was three years old. But this day was always dedicated to the memory of our father and it is still a very special holy day. About the family, Vater Alois Pritzl, mother Barbara.

Biography:
Wolfgang Pritzl (1844-1902) Wolfgang arrived in New York in May of 1868. He filed an intention for citizenship on 6 Nov. 1876. On the 1880 census index he was listed as being born in Oesterich (Austria). His wife Franciska Lemberger was listed as being born in "Bauern", . Their first four children are also listed. Residence is listed as Brillion, Wisc. Calumet county. Wolfgang's brothers also emigrated to America, Frank in May 1872, Anton in June 1871, and Michael in 1867. Why did they emigrate?? Maybe the history of the area will give us a probable cause, but unless some definite facts are uncovered, we will never be 100% sure. The following narratives gleamed from the writings of Don Zipperer and Rev. Bernard Meyer gives us some background into the why. Bohemia was part of the Austrian Empire during the time of our ancestor emigration. Germany was the official language in Bohemia the language of government, churches, schools, etc.. It wasn't until about 1870 that the Czech language was allowed to be taught in the University of Praque. In the 1860's and 1870's Czech-speaking Bohemians only then began to gain recognition as citizens with rights equal to those enjoyed by the German-speaking Bohemian citizens. History books tell us that laws were being passed during this time to make Czech the official language of any city, town, church or school where the majority of people where Czech. The Czech-speaking Bohemians had fought a class war with their German-speaking Bohemian countrymen and slowly, over the next several decades made Bohemia completely Czech. One of the immediate results of the changes going on in Bohemia was mass emigration,- - to Germany, America, or to any place where the German-speaking people could live, bring up their children and speak their native language. In 1918, after World War I, Bohemia became part of Czechoslovakia. Then after World War II, around 1950, the Russians took Czechoslovakia behind the Iron Curtain. The residents of border towns were forced to leave their homes, simply because they were too close to the border of the Free World. Throughout Bohemia and the rest of Czechoslovakia, German- speaking citizens were actually allowed to leave Bohemia. The Czeches had been fighting a class war with their German countrymen, a struggle to rise above second-class status, for decades. Whether the refugees of the late 1940's went to Bavaria, immediately west of Bohemia, Austria or some other German-speaking land, they had to leave their homes and nearly all of their belongings and, empty-handed, begin anew as strangers in different lands with different customs. The refugees also lost touch with their Bohemian friends and neighbors. Some families, that then still had relatives living in the vicinity of Hirschau, Taus, Friedrichsthal or Ploess, could not know where the others resettled. In the 1950's, some Meyer cousins who had left Bohemia and settled in Bavaria wrote to their relatives in the U. S. and told them that the Czech-speaking people badly mistreated the German-speaking populace in Bohemia. So our ancestors were better off leaving Bohemia when they did. It should also be noted that, although these 1940's refugees from Bohemia had learned German in school, their spoken language would have been somewhat different from that of the Bavarians, Austrians and other West Germans. Their customs were different enough to make them feel strange in their adopted lands. It is understandable, therefore, that they longed to return to their homes in Hirschau, Friedrichsthal and other parts of Bohemia and prayed that circumstances would change so that they could be allowed to return again. One relative wrote that some of the 1940's refugees climbed a mountain in Bavaria near the Czechoslovakian border to get a glimpse of their former home in Hirschau, just a few miles across from the border. They saw what appeared to be "ghost towns" where their houses stood vacant, ravaged by the elements and by vandals passing through and thus allowed to fall into ruin. Rev. Bernard Meyer was ordained a priest 22 July, 1951 in Switzerland. He said his First Mass in Konigsberg, Bavaria where many of his relatives were living as refugees. Fr. Anton Kelnhofer, participated in Fr. Meyer's first mass. Fr. Kelnhofer's mother was Barbara Pritzl, sister of the four brothers who came to America. (Rev. John Pritzl, great-grandson of Barbara's brother Wolfgang, attended Fr. Meyers First Mass in the U.S.)

Biography:
BIOGRAPHIE: The story of Frank S and Mary ZIPPERER PRITZL as told by two of their children; Regina PRITZL BOHMAN and Sister M. DeLellis (Helen PRITZL). Our father, Frank PRITZL, was the second youngest of eight children. When Franks father died, pa's uncle came late for the funeral. He came on horseback from nearby Munich. When our pa saw uncle, he called him "dada". That pleased uncle, so he begged to take along the four year old and raise him. Pa visited his mother only four times after that. When pa was a young man, he was a delivery man. In those days, horse drawn wagons were used to haul produce to nearby towns. This family also had an adopted daughter, because they had been childless. Pa stayed with them until he was to go for military training. He wanted to visit his mother one more time. She told him to go to America where his two brothers already were. Brother Michael was on a farm in Cato, and Wolfgang in Brillion. Pa's mother packed his clothing, and as soldiers were patrolling the main roads for draft evaders, they piled up a big load of wood on the wagon. Pa sat in the center as they crossed the inspection line and he made it to the ship. There was another inspection, but the captain hid the boys in the boiler room, and they were on their way to America. Pa landed at Baltimore, Maryland, and then traveled to Wisconsin. He carried a pair of pigeons along all the way. Uncle Anton came two weeks later. Before our father was married, he went to "Sleepy Eye" to work for a farmer. One day when pa was on his way to the bank, with money he had earned, several men on horseback asked him for a match. Pa said he'd give anything for a match. They looked him over and said, "He doesn't seem to have anything". Pa went back home with the money hidden in his shoe. The next day, the news came that the bank was robbed by Jesse James and his gang. After our parents were married, , they left Brillion and went to New Ulm, Minnesota, to take up a homestead. The Indians were robbing and killing there, so after a few months, they came back to Brillion. There they settled on a forty-acre farm near Kasson. Mother's two brothers, Charlie and John, helped to build a log cabin. That part of the house is still standing. Other rooms and an upstairs were added. Robert , sold the place in 1919. Pa spoke a different dialect than his family, being raised in Bavaria. We asked ma how she met pa. She said she was waiting at a shoe shop having her shoes repaired, when pa walked in. It was love at first sight. But, her father didn't think so. He had a man picked for her and invited him to the home. Mother locked herself in her room upstairs and wouldn't come out. Her father was very provoked. He said, "if you marry this poor man, you will get no inheritance", and he kept his word. Pa and ma were married in the old St. Michael's Church, , by Father Fessler. They are buried in what was called Kasson Cemetery, three miles northeast of Brillion. That mission church was taken down some years later. When ma's mother came to America on a sailboat, they sailed for six weeks. She knitted a pair of cotton stockings to keep her mind off the storms. The rosary was her companion. She brought along a hand-carved statue of Mary, which was always honored. Our parents were blessed with twelve children. Three sons died as infants, and a daughter, Clara, fell into hot water as a child, which caused her to be retarded and she died at age twenty-four. The story was often told of one of our fore-fathers, Schmitpetter, (*), who was a feather-merchant. He once was stopped by a man who had a lottery ticket. He wanted to exchange it for a meal ticket. Schmitpetter gave him money for a meal and after some coaxing, accepted the lottery ticket. The ticket turned out to pay so much money, that the bank couldn't pay it all at one time. He was the talk of the town. Soon after, Schmitpetter was in a tavern, when a man whispered, "those two men there, want to kill you, leave your hat, cane and run". He ran and hid in a grain shock. When hearing the men looking for him, he made a vow, if he would be safe, he would use the money for charity. Therefore, in 1836, the church and convent in Hirschau were built. The convent was built by his sister. When Schimtpetter died, he was buried beneath this church. God blessed this village with many vocations to the priesthood and religious life, more than any other place in Europe.
(*) Michael PRITZL's grandfather was named Michael Schmidtpetter. The man who is buried in the church at Hirschau and is given credit for building the church is Andreas Schmidtpetter. It's possible that Andreas and Michael Schmidtpetter were brothers.

Biography:
BIOGRAPHIE: Michael was an Artillery Lt. in Austrian Army, 1890's, was also Mayor of local town for two years. .

BIOGRAPHIE: Michael and Marie's home - from Barbara PRITZL LEONARD - 6/02/89 It was one of those tall houses with two screened porches on either end. It was gray, trimmed in white and was built back in the days when they still used square nails. It had four bedrooms upstairs and one down-stairs, a large kitchen with a table, and wood stove. The stove stayed there and was used until it was torn down in the late 50's. There was a large living/dining room with an old pendulum clock on the wall. Outside, in the early days, was a large apple cellar with a dirt roof. There was also a barn with a top story. It had two very deep silos which my father built as a young man. They were made of cement and were mostly underground.
From Barbara PRITZL LEONARD - 6/20/89 - Ed. notes It seems Michael bought the fruit ranch in Fruitland sight unseen and paid quite a hefty price for it. They packed up bag and baggage and traveled by train from Wisconsin to Fruitland only to find their fruit ranch had only twigs of trees and they were not able to bear fruit for a number of years. Michael Pritzl and my father had to work for wages until the trees got big enough. This was quite demeaning for Michael, who appears in his pictures to be quite a dignified person. I am not sure what he did in the old country, but my mother (I think) told me he was the Mayor of the town. . They used to hitch up a horse and wagon and travel five miles each Sunday to Mass at New Plymouth since there was no Catholic church in Fruitland (and still isn't). My father remembered his dad making them shine their shoes to perfection and pass inspection before departing for church. Christmas was always a big deal for them and even though they were not wealthy, the children always got a nice gift. One thing they used to always get on Christmas was an orange. At Easter they got hard boiled eggs which was quite a treat as the hens did not lay during the winter. Grandma would save the eggs up for Easter. They butchered pigs often. Michael would seize it by the ear, slit it's throat and let it run around squealing and bleeding, as it bled out better that way. Grandma would can the pork, or cook it and put it in a crock, put lard over it and store it in the cool cellar. She also smoked hams, bacon and sausages in the smoke house. The sausages, of course, were made by stuffing cooked, seasoned pork into the small intestine casing. They also made what they called liverwurst, which did not taste a bit like the kind that you get in the store. You cooked the liver, heart and head, took the meat and ground it through a sausage grinder, along with onions, garlic and bread, salt and pepper. It was then sliced and fried. We used to have it every Christmas after Midnight Mass. Rye bread with caraway seed was a staple along with sauerkraut. Often, caraway seeds were put in the sauerkraut. It was very mild tasting. You cooked the sauerkraut with a pork roast and then thickened the juice with flour. They also made Knodel (dumplings) from home made bread, mixed with salt and milk to form a firm ball. You polished off this ball of stuff with water on your hands and then dropped it in boiling salted water and cooked it until it was firm. You had to cut it with a knife or fork. They were placed in the pork roast sauerkraut dish. I think they had sauerkraut almost every day for dinner along with canned vegetables, fruits, potatoes and meat. My father said his mother made a lot of chocolate cakes too. Grandma also raised chickens. I can remember watching her take a pole with a hook on the end and snagging a chicken, grabbing it by the feet, marching over to the chopping block and lopping off its head with an axe. It would flop around headless for awhile and bleed out. Then she would plunge it into a milk bucket filled with boiling water so that the feathers would strip right off. The smell was memorable. She would then take this hapless chicken over to the wood stove, light a piece of paper and singe off the pin feathers after which she cleaned it. I never knew my grandfather, Michael Pritzl. He died when my father was 27 years old, and my father was made legal guardian of the family. His mother did not speak much English. When World War II came along, it inspired her to learn and speak more English. She did try to teach my brother and I some German or Bayrisch words, specifically the Lord's Prayer.

BIOGRAPHIE: Frank X. Pritzl (1874-1959) by Rev. John Pritzl

He bought a cheese factory between Thorp and Stanley, about 2-3 miles southwest of Thorp. The address was Stanley Wis. Rural Route, but the family belonged to St. Bernards Parish in Thorp. He married Mary Meidl in 1899. Mary, born October 4, 1876, was the daughter of Blasius Meidl and Maggie Weber. The Meidl farm was near Whitelaw Wis. All five children, Mayme, Frank, Louise, John and Arnold, were born while they lived at R.F.D. Stanley. The cheese factory and home were built in 1889 and the home still stands and is inhabited (1985). A new cheese factory was built across the road years later and the original factory was converted into a tavern, which burned down. A new tavern was built in its place. Because of his wife's health (tuberculosis), Frank sold his property and moved to Helena, Montana, arriving there April 9th, 1910. He had planned to take up a homestead out there but his wife was admitted to the hospital on April 15th, where she died the 27th April, 1910. Frank returned to Wisconsin with a corpse and five small children. Toward the end of 1910, Frank X. and his brother Charles bought the Koch Brothers Hardware business in Brillion, Wisconsin. Son Frank Jr., died in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Appleton, Wisconsin on July 4, 1913. He would have been 12 on Aug. 1st. Frank X. married a widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Melbinger Ziehr at Thorp in 1913. She died in St. Joseph Hospital, Marshfield, Wisconsin, on April 12, 1939. Peter and Elizabeth Ziehr had adopted a daughter, Regina, who became part of the family but retained the name Ziehr. At the end of 1919, Frank X. sold his interest in the Brillion hardware business to a younger brother, Adolf, and the family moved to Marshfield. After looking around for two years to enter another business venture, Frank X. bought an unoccupied business building on North Central Avenue in Marshfield and stocked it with hardware. The building had previously been Keels photography store with a skylight and photo display windows at the front of the store. This is the origin of the Pritzl Hardware store in Marshfield. Later this business was shared with his son, Arnold, who, later shared it with his son Gerald, now the sole owner. Frank X. died in St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 22 Oct. 1959. He had spent the last few years of his life at McCormick Memorial Home, Green Bay, Wisconsin. His brother Anton and his sister Louise also were at the McCormick Memorial Home before their deaths. Frank X. was buried next to his first wife Mary in the parish cemetery at Whitelaw. Mary had preceded him in death by 49 years. The funeral Mass was by his son Reverend John Pritzl in St. John's Church, Marshfield, Wisconsin.

Biography:
BIOGRAPHIE: The ECKER Family - from Mrs Bernice Ecker Riendl on 2/26/89 My father & mother started their married life farming. Edmund, my oldest brother was born on their first farm and Norbert was born on their second farm that they had purchased near the Ecker & Pritzl farms. Shortly after, my grandfather Ecker purchased the Auditorium in Brillion, Wis. My father and his brother Joseph formed a partnership to maintain it. This building was the community center of the village. It included athletic activities, dances, movies, etc,, The Joseph Ecker family dwelled upstairs and our family had the downstairs. Irene, Howard and I were born in this building which has since been converted to a bowling alley. After Adolph Pritzl's wife, Mamie, died of the flu during World War I, our family moved in with Uncle Adolph & Leon. In 1924, our family moved to Hilbert, Wis., where my father had purchased a hardware store. We were all reared and educated through high school in Hilbert. In 1942, mother & dad moved to Green Bay, Wis., where dad was employed as a machinist for the Hudson-Sharp Co. They were very happy during this period. I was employed in Green Bay and moved home while Norbert & Harold were attending St Norbert's college. Irene was also employed there. Since mother & dad were both musicians, our whole family was involved in music. During the '30's, dad formed the Ecker Orchestra. It featured dad on the violin, Edmund on sax & clarinet, Norbert on sax, clarinet, flute and piccolo, Irene on piano and Harold on trumpet. Vocalists were Irene and Bernice. We played at many local dance areas as far as Appleton. We also did a few broadcasts from WHBY in Appleton. My three brothers worked their way through college with their musical ability. This was during the depression when money was unavailable. We did have a happy family life with our music. (I did play piano and trombone, but never practiced).

Biography:
BIOGRAPHIE - The following is entitled "Introduction to Memoirs of Sacerdos", and written by Rev. Alfred Pritzl shortly before he died in Dec 1981.
My father's first name was Wolfgang. My mother's Franciska. My father had to take some ribbing because of his first name. They were good names in southern Bavaria (Germany). St Wolfgang was a holy and dedicated missionary who became the Apostle of Bavaria. That is why the name Wolfgang is found frequently in my parents homeland. The homestead, Hirschau, lay within 5 miles of the border between Germany and Bohemia.
My father was 18 years old when he migrated from Hirschau to Manitowoc County. My mother was 6 years old when her parents, Joseph Lemberger & Katherine Huber Lemberger migrated from Lamm Bavaria to America. They had a rough crossing. The trip in a sailing vessel took over 12 weeks. Towards the end of the voyage, water and food were rationed.
They brought with them a deep, solidly Catholic faith. That proved itself in the Catholic churches and schools they managed somehow to build soon after their arrival in blessed America. My father was a skilled carpenter. He and a partner built the first Catholic church in Whitelaw, Wisconsin.
Since most of the original pioneers built their houses and barns of logs, there was little to do for a skilled carpenter. He, therefore, bought a small farm (40 acres) a mile south of Branch, Wis. Manitowoc County. Between his carpentry and farming he tried to make a living for his growing family. Quite soon, however, he noticed that his plan did not provide adequately for his needs. He looked for a bigger farm. He finally settled on a farm of 120 acres at Kasson, Wis. Not all of it was fertile, there were stretches of swamp land. But for better or worse, this was it. Here we were born. Here we were baptized. Here we were born poor but the family background was a good one.
I grew up amidst humble surroundings, the youngest of 14 children. Two of these children (girls) died very early in their lives. Caroline, of a children's sickness at the age of 6 weeks, and Sophia, badly burnt. at the age of 2 years. Twelve of us, 8 boys and 4 girls, grew to adulthood.
At home we spoke Baierisch, a dialect of German. When I was 6 years old I was told to go to the public school, (the Bluff School), two miles distant from home. I was born Dec 26, 1895. In the spring of 1900, I was bundled up and packed off to school without knowing a word of English.
In those days we learned our English words from a chart. Our teacher got some surprising answers from me. Die Katz (Cat), die Kuh (Cow) and der hund (Dog).
The teacher, Ellen Luekel, was patient with me. Unknown to me, my brother Charlie, was dating her. I was a little surprised at the interest my teacher took in Charlie. One day, before school, she asked, "What is Charlie doing today?" "He is hauling Mist (Manure)". Later on, their dating brought them together in a good marriage.
I have wondered how I learned to speak English in 2 years and three months in the public school. I must have murdered the Kings English. I have no memory of that phase of my life. I can only conclude, that psychologically speaking, I did not want to be different than those about me who spoke English. Of course, there were others around me, in the Bluff School, who were in the same predicament as I, too much German mixed with English.
At the Kasson Catholic church, there was a great shortage of altar boys. Accordingly I was pressed into service at an early age. I was the youngest and the only server for several years. Thus it happened that I was serving for a funeral. Amongst the mourners, there were several of my schoolmates, Walter Tesch, among others, who saw me in my servers regalia. They teased me about wearing a kittl (skirt) in church.
In the fall of 1900, I fell victim to an attack of appendicitis. The cure, before anesthesia, was called the "hunger cure", no food for a week. That was Dr. Meyer's prescription, no food for a week, and then only small portions of pigeon broth. Believe me, I learned what a torture hunger can be. I learned why they talk about "the pangs of hunger". Somehow, I survived the hunger cure and the accompanying high fevers.
My stint of education in the public school came to the end in June 1902. My mother gave me the directive, "next fall you will go to St. Mary's school in Brillion, 3 ½ miles from home. You have to learn about the Faith. You are big enough now to walk the extra distance". I, however, protested bitterly. My friends were in the public school. The night the opening of the Catholic school, I cried myself to sleep. However, after a week I was willing to go to St. Mary's. I had made new friends, especially among the youngsters that lived close to the church at Kasson.
For 5 years I was under the devoted care of Sisters Pacifica, Gregory and Emily Wegner. Sister Pacifica was a motherly kind of person. She was in charge of the primary grades. Sister Gregory was in charge of the middle grades, and then there was Sister Emily- a work horse if there ever was one. She was a real educator. She worked hard and expected every one else to work hard. Later on, Sister Emily filled most of the high positions her Order had to offer.
I have little to confess about my school years at St. Mary's, except the long distance to walk to and from school- 3 ½ miles. It was a long trek, especially during May and June when the sun got heated up. Later on I realized that we had a solid education in all secular subjects and also in our "catechism".
One morning before the catechism class, Father Garthaus asked whether any boy or boys in the 7th or 8th grade would like to become priests. About 12 hands were raised. I was in the 7th grade. I did not raise my hand. Father Garthaus stopped directly in front of my desk and asked me, "Don't you want to be a priest?". "No Father", I answered. Father went on to say that he would start a Latin class. He told me to join the class. "It won't hurt you". So we had Latin class every day at 12:30. For a short while I joined the class because the priest said I should. After only a few weeks the class for the priesthood lost in membership until there were only two of us in the class- Tom Ryan and I. Fathers Garthaus' ambition dropped too, until I was the only one left. From that time forward, I had a feeling in my mind that I should enter a college for the priesthood after I finished the 8th grade.
In Sep. 1910, I became a student at St. Lawrence College, Mt. Calvary, Wis. The Capuchen Fathers were my teachers for the next 7 years. I liked it very much at Mt. Calvary. I made the remark one time, "These are the happiest years of my life". It was a true estimate of my life at Calvary-no worries, no cares. It was not the daily drudgery or studies, though we appreciated their necessity, that entertained us. We had our share of sports, dramatics and music,- both vocal and instrumental. My trusted companion was my clarinet in the band and orchestra. That is what attracted me, the music. We had a good band and orchestra at Calvary during the 7 years I attended there. Hubert Duren was our director during most of the 7 years.
The camaraderie of our classmates was phenomenal. My brothers and sisters were not nearly as close to me as were my class mates. There was enough tom-foolery and horseplay to take away all unnecessary pressures.
My studies took me to Calvary for 7 years for High School and College courses. Next I spent two years at the Grand Seminaire Quebec, and two more years of theological studies at St. Francis Seminary at St. Francis, Wisc. I got my M.A. degree there.
Life at the two seminaries was very good. I had a feeling to be serious in my studies because all of them related directly to the priesthood. My two years at Quebec were especially interesting. The language of the house was French. That gave me a wonderful opportunity to understand and speak French. Then too, they made me welcome, - all my fellow students were either French or Irish. We were in the middle of World War I. All of them knew that I was of German descent. They never embarrassed me by any snide remarks about my nationality. They were gentlemen.
At St. Francis, I had one difficulty. My studies in moral and dogmatic theology did not mesh or dove-tail. It makes me wonder whether it is a good idea to switch from one seminary to another as I was asked to do.
I faintly remember an incident of interest during my two years at St. Francis. Father Eilers was our Prefect. He noticed that I was very interested in music. John Phillip Sousa was coming to the Milwaukee Auditorium on a concert tour. Father Eilers told me I could go to the concert if I wished. I always appreciated Father Eilers consideration. The concert was a grand rendition of wonderful music.
In May 1920, the decisive day of Ordination to the subdeaconate came along. The question of celibacy had to be decided. One of the rare sleepless nights, before Ordination, was a new experience for me.
One year later, May 20, 1921, the great day of Ordination to the priesthood arrived,, with complications. The year 1921 was a year of "ad limina" visits for all Bishops in the U.S. Nearly all of them were in Rome. On the evening of May 19th, the news came that ArchBishop Messmer, who was to ordain us, was sick with a 103 fever. He manfully fought his way through the fever. Our ordination proceeded as planned and as advertised.This introduction leads me into the "meat" of this pamphlet, Catholic Chuckles. -----

Father Alfred was the youngest of the family and was ordained a priest in 1921 for the Diocese of Green Bay, Wis. He served in several parishes and retired in Green Bay. After a very short stay he died at a Rest Home in Manitowoc, Wis. He was the last of the family to die. A nephew, Father Hubert Kleiber, also retired in Green Bay, took care of the final affairs and funeral arrangements and died of a heart attack six days after Father Alfred died.

Letter:
Nachrichten: On July 21st I boarded the Air Wisconsin plane at 1:30pm for Chicago. 45 minutes later I was in Chicago where I was to fly a Lufthansa 747 due to leave at 6:30pm , non-stop to Frankfort, by way of Montreal and London. A Notre Dame Sister from St. Paul, Minnesota was my seatmate. She was going home to Bayern, a little place near Munich. An interesting companion. The ride was smooth, no turbulence. We were soon served a good supper. After that, movies. It seemed to me like midnight when we saw the sun coming up in the east, a beautiful sight. Before long, a big breakfast. In slightly more than seven hours we landed in Frankfort. The country-side could be seen as we were coming down where we had only seen cloud banks before. A few hours later I boarded a smaller plane to Nurnberg. At Nurnberg, Alfred Seidl (Joe Kohlnhofer's nephew), met me. He picked me out right away! (I had sent his sister my passport picture). I stayed at their home that night. He and Mary, his lovely wife, made me feel right at home. The next morning Alfred took me to Passau by car, a 3 1/2 hour ride through the beautiful countryside. Germany is surely beautiful. I loved their flower-box windows. Everywhere you saw them. Got my first glimpse of the Donau as we neared Passau. I said, "I thought it would look more blue". (The Blue Danube). Alfred said, "Wait until you get to Passau, you'll see it is blue". The fields along the way looked beautiful, grain ready to harvest. What a thrill to see Marie, , her son Paul, his wife Ernie and their 16 year old son Peter, after writing to them since the 1940's. We had gotten to know them soon after they had been driven out of their homeland. What a welcome we got. Their home was built 11 years ago . Marie lives in the downstairs, Paul and Ernie on the 1st floor and Ernie's mother upstairs. A wonderful arrangement. The house is on a sloping lot, - unusual, but so convenient. Paul teaches and Marie taught 46 years, (I think she said). Marie's husband died two years ago. He had stayed in Czechoslovakia until a few years ago. They live a short distance from the Mariahilf Kirche Pilgrimage. What a privilege to be able to go there for Mass every day! The Capuchins are in charge of the Pilgrimage. Passau is an interesting city, - 2000 years old. Looks Italian, An Italian architect planned the city they told me. The fortresses built in the time of the Romans are still intact. It is unique in that the Danube, the Inn, and the Ilz rivers flow together right in the city. Oh yes, where the Danube and the Inn join, the Danube "is" blue and the Inn, green. St. Stephen's Cathedral, (known as the "Dom"), stand out. Centuries old and beautiful. It has the largest church organ in the world. I heard it play. The narrow cobblestone streets intrigued me. Of course the newer part of the city is modern, - to me, not as pretty. The 1st Sunday there we went to Sharding in Austria for dinner. "Liberknodl" - delicious! I soon learned to like their beer, - ours is nothing compared to it. On July 27th. we drove to the border. We saw the barbed wire entanglements and the towers. We drove through the Bayrisher Wald, - beautiful, - saw the Ober, - drank Pilsner beer, - the small Osser Mtns. At 11:00 am we got to the area where we could look, (with field glasses), over to Hirschau and Springenberg. Could see the roof of the "Friedl" house well and the church, (not too plain for me). Marie and Paul said they could see that the barn door was off yet since the day they were driven out. (beim Esinrei) What a feeling, - to be so near and yet so far. What those poor people suffered! They carried what they could to the border and there it was stolen, - they had absolutely nothing but what they had on. Next we went to Neukirchen Von Heiligen Blut. Wolfahts platz! Had dinner in Lamm. Barbara Kohlnhofer Seidl is buried in Lamm. We visited her grave. We passed the school building in Lambach were Marie taught for 7 years. It had living quarters in it, - lucky, - she could take in her homeless family, her sister Fannie and 3 children, her mother, and her four brothers one after another when they came home from the war. They had nothing, - but at least they could be together, - even though starving. They knew what hunger really was. On July 30th, we went to the Salz Kommergut. First glimpse of the beautiful Alps. Ate at dem "Weissen Rossl" at St. Wolfgang, - on to Bad Ischl and Salzburg. Mozart's birthplace was pointed out to me. August 4th, at 9:00 am, we were off to Auerbach to visit the Pritzl nuns, Reinholda and Felicia. ("Peppi", - she said she was). What a visit we had! Sr. Reinholda said to me, "Hona ma denkt, wos wead des fua a feine Dam sa, von Amerika, davall ees med ondest vie mia!" Homa'n Bohmerwald g'sunga. Marie's niece, Sr. Juliana was with us too. The Rev. Mother too. Sr. Augusta was there at the Convent the week before. Too bad we missed her. We visited the graves of Srs.Henriette and Johanna. Late in the day we left for Kimanath to spend the night with the Henry Seidl family. Nice visit with a pleasant family. The next day we visited Georg Seidl in a nursing home. He had lost a leg as a child and later lost the other one. 5th August, 10:00 am Mass at Mariahilf. Latin Mass sung by a mixed choir, - beautiful. Communion is given in the hand but a few still receive on their tongue, I did. Hosts are tan, - made of whole wheat. On August 9th, we went to Munich. On our way we stopped in Birkah where my father grew up. When my grandfather died a brother came a day or two late for the funeral. My father, who was 4 at the time, ran into the house to tell his mother, "Da Votta keamed hoam, is auf a weissen Ross". That touched the uncle so, he begged to take the boy home with him. He did, - and grandmother, (they told me), never forgave herself for letting him go. My father came to America in 1872. The Schweiger family knew of him. Had a nice visit. What a thrill to be where my father was, once upon a time at home. We went to Altotting, - great privilege. Also prayed at Bro. Konrads tomb. His remains are visible. Marie and I went into Donisl's in Munich and had their famous Weisswurst and Munchener beer. We often walked over into Austria. They were amazed that I could use their dialect, - hadn't used it since mother died in 1925. Marie knew no English, but her son Paul speaks English fluently, besides 6 or 7 other languages. Russian is one of them. He spent 6 weeks in Leningrad teaching Russian and English this summer. And twice before that. Their son Peter always used English, - said he wanted to practice it. Knowing the dialect certainly made it much more fun. Our family had a dialect of it's own. Pa, growing up where he did, spoke differently than mothers family. The Zipperers came from the Hirschau area, - so we used some from both sides. They told me over there how the Hirschau church came into being, - about Andreas Schmidtpetter. Any way the wonderful stay had to come to an end. Together, Maria and I took the train to Nurnberg the 1st of September. We spent the night at her niece's apartment and I started for home the 2nd. Her nephew (Fannie's boy Guenther) took her to Gipfenberg, where her niece Edeltraud was to be married on Saturday the 4th. It took 8 1/2 hours flying (non-stop again) to get to Chicago. Through Customs took a while, - thought I'd miss my little plane to Appleton, but made it. There were 32 of my family waiting at the airport! All but a brass band!

Biography:
BIOGRAPHY: from DeLellis M Sommers Strong - August, 1995 Our parents, Edward Sommers and Anna Pritzl, met while Anna was living with her invalid mother on the Bohman farm near Hortonville. After her mother passed away, they were married in St Patrick Church in Stephensville were they paid pew rent and sat in the second pew on the right hand side of church every Sunday. Anna sang in the choir for many years. They had bought a 120 acre farm just a few miles NE of Stephenville. They were very happy and enjoyed working on the farm, having a large garden, an orchard of Apple trees, Pear trees and grape vines, berry bushes and they raised chickens and ducks. Dad used work horses for many years. They then bought another 60 acres and a tractor and more machinery. In those days, the neighbors all went back and forth filling silos and thrashing. Mother and dad were blessed with 10 children. On October 6, 1926 twins Harold and Gerald were born at home on the farm. Harold lived 8 hours and Gerald 16 hours. Then there were DeLellis, Catherine, Dorothy, Edward Jr., Eugene, Eunice, Helen and John. Like all children, growing up on the farm, we learned to help every day, working right along with Ma and dad. We helped in the barn, fed the cows and the calves, and horses too, went up in the hay mow and threw the hay down, planted and weeded in the garden, went to the woods and gathered wood for the furnace. One incident I remember was Dorothy throwing wood down the cellar chute and a piece flew up and broke a porch window which scared us all to death. Dad came out, looked at it with a very sober, straight face, took it out, went to the shed, got a new glass, fixed it and never said a word. For three days, us kids were very careful how we did our work. We all walked to the Pershing Grade School, about 1 ½ miles each way. When we got to school, each child had to carry in an armful of wood. We would raise the flag, go next door to the cheese factory for pails of water to put in the water fountain. Our mother did most of all of our sewing, everything from pajamas to our beautiful plaid skirts. We had lots of feed bags that we bleached out, were sewn into aprons, bloomers or what-ever was needed. A lot of the flour sacks the girls hemmed up and did embroidery on them for dish towels and luncheon cloths. Ma even made her own soap using Eagle Lye. Out in the pump house, dad had his tool bench and shoe repair form. Whenever a sole came loose or a heel needed to be tacked on, he fixed it. Ma will always be remembered for all her baking. "Home Made Bread?" NO ! But home canning, making butter and kolatches. Many relatives would take a Sunday ride, stop to see Aunt Anna and Uncle Ed on the farm and have a meal. Oven baked chicken, home-made bread, fresh pies, etc. . and many times went home with something. For the 4th of July, our treat was a watermelon, and on New Years day, we had home made ice cream, made with the hand turned freezer, (Snow, with salt added) around the sides, and sometimes, Ma even put flavoring in. We had a raspberry and strawberry patch and had lots of orders for them as we delivered them too when we dressed chickens and ducks, took them to Appleton to private homes and to Gloudman & Gage (Clothing and grocery store). With the money, Ma did her grocery and clothes shopping. We always had plenty of food and also crates of peaches or whatever we needed. For the kids, dad planted a pickle patch. I'm sure it was more than an acre. What ever we picked, we would load them on the truck, and go to Greenville to the sorting machine. The money from this was ours for clothes, shoes and all of our school supplies. We had plenty of pickles, and one time I can remember we were getting sick of picking them, so once in a while, we would pull a vine out by the roots, hoping some would die, but no, that made the plant next to it grow bigger and with more pickles. We just couldn't get rid of this job. Ma did all of the home canning until later years, we got a freezer from a place in Manitowoc, for our meats and vegetables. We also had a room called the potato cellar. For many years Ma and dad made dandelion, grape and elderberry wine and a small glass every day was considered healthy. There were many times when we would bring friends home from school with us and there would always be plenty for us to eat and do. We had lots of pets to take care of, a dog, a mother cat and her kittens, bandy chickens and a small goat. The goat would watch the back door as he loved to run into the house with the kids, up the steps and jump on that old leather couch. In those days, there would be a "Barn Dance", and everyone came, danced all night and the neighbors enjoyed being together. Always on May 1st, we and the neighbor children would hang "May Baskets". As we grew up, found jobs and got married, Ma and dad sold the farm, moved to Shiocton for a few years and then moved to Appleton where Ma worked at the hospital and dad did different jobs. As of today , there are 5 of us children left to carry on and we all say; What a beautiful life growing up on the farm, learning to do so many things, the "daily Rosary", the Angelus. We are hoping we can pass this on to our children and grandchildren.

Biography:
BIOGRAPHY: E-Mail from Michelle Pritzl Wood - 7 August, 2000 Prestdale was the name my grandfather Charles picked for the farm when he decided to register his cows with the American Guernsey Association back in 1928 or so. He submitted a couple of names that he thought up, but they had already been taken by someone else on the registry so they sent him a list and he picked Prestdale. The farm was passed onto my dad when Grandpa died in 1970. For the last 15 years Dad had run the farm with the help of a very wonderful "hired man" and his wife. Now Mom runs it with Mike's help. Mom also works outside the farm as an office manager at a gas plant in Nampa, Idaho. The small dairy business is getting tougher and tougher with all the new "corporate" type dairies around now with herds of 1,000 or more. Mom's little farm milks about 60 to 65!!! Milk prices are the lowest price per hundred weight that they've been in a long time. Funny thing - milk prices in the store are the highest they've been ever. Suppose that middle man is making some money??? Suzanne, Kitty and I have been trying to talk Mom into selling the cows and equipment and getting out of the business but she's just not ready to do that yet. I hope the land can always stay in the family. Grandpa and Dad worked that soil and milked those cows with a lot of love!

Obituary:
Rev. John Joseph Pritzl (1904-1990) by Rev. John Pritzl In 1910, the Frank X. Pritzl family had moved to Helena Montana because of Mrs. Pritzls TB. John was not quite 6 when his mother died. The family moved back to Frank X. mothers farm near Brillion and John didn't start first grade until the family moved into the city of Brillion in 1911.

Mildred E. Van Groll, 87, Green Bay, died January 7, 2008, at Brewster Village in Grand Chute. Millie was born March 29, 1920, in Reedsville, the seventh child and first daughter of Louisa (Pritzel) and Joseph Kleiber of Brillion, WI. After graduating from Holy Family Nursing School, Manitowoc, she married Harold J. Van Groll of Manitowoc on May 8, 1943 in Columbus, SC.
Millie will be remembered for her gracious and giving nature, as well as her tremendous work ethic. She volunteered for over 25 years at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, was a Unity Hospice volunteer, and a steady supporter of her parish, St Agnes.
Millie enjoyed singing, walking, playing Bridge, her church, many neighbors and friends, and of course, her beloved Packers. She was a woman of wide generosity, small stubbornness, and great humility. In her last months she enjoyed her children's and grandchildren's visits and the surprising gifts of each day. She seemed humbly unaware of the impact the example of her life had on others and would be surprised to know just how deeply she is missed.
Millie was most proud of her family and is survived by her eight children "The best kids in the world": Harry (Mary Beth) Van Groll, Mequon; Beth Spencer (Mark Peerenboom), Appleton; Dick (Lee) Van Groll, Sun Prairie; Jean (Tony) Palma, Greenville; Mary (Ron) Blakewell, Neenah; Tom (Cindy) Van Groll, Cedarburg; Kathy Van Groll, Appleton; and Chris (Tim) Klunk, Appleton. She is also survived by 16 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; her sister and brother-in-law, Lorraine (Al) Stachowiak, Milwaukee; a brother and sister-in-law, Jim Kleiber (Margaret) Green Bay; two other brothers-in-law, and three additional sisters-in-law.
She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; six brothers: Ray Kleiber, Rev. Hubert Kleiber, Rev. Richard Kleiber, Al Kleiber, Chick Kleiber, and Joe Kleiber; two brothers-in-law: John Van Groll and Pierre Van Groll; four sisters-in-law: Sr. Kathleen Van Groll, Laverne Kleiber, Marie Kleiber, and Tec Kleiber.
Friends may call at St. Agnes Catholic Church, 1484 Ninth St., Green Bay, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Thursday. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the church with the Rev. Richard Getchel officiating. Entombment will be in Allouez Catholic Mausoleum. To send online condolences, please go to www.Blaney FuneralHome.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to The Friends of St. Vincent Hospital, Van Groll Nursing Scholarship Fund. These memorials may be sent to Blaney Funeral Home, 1521 Shawano Ave., Green Bay, WI 54303.
The family would like to thank the staff at Brewster Village for assisting them in the care of this most precious person at the time of life when she finally had to allow others to help her.

Obituary:
Flags in the city were at half-mast Monday forenoon during the funeral services for Alfred Robert Pritzl whose accidental death was announced in last week's issue of the News. The decedent, son of Mr and Mrs C(harles) F Pritzl, enlisted with the U.S. Army in 1940 and at the time of his death held the rank of Staff Sergeant Technician at Fort Bragg, N.C. On Tuesday of last week he was granted an authorized overnight pass to attend a birthday celebration at the home of a friend, Russell Poe, at Bear Creek N.C. After spending the evening at the Poe home, he left early Wednesday morning to return to camp. He had ridden his motorcycle a distance of about four miles when he apparently failed to see a sharp turn. The motorcycle left the road and threw him against a pile of lumber at the roadside with such force that death was probably instantaneous. Thus this fine young man gave his life in the service of his country, leaving to mourn his departure the parents, one brother, three sisters, and a host of friends and relatives throughout the community by whom he was affectionately known as "Laddie". The remains were brought to Brillion by train, accompanied by an army "pal", Sgt. Tech. Lester Cook of Fort Bragg, N.C. who was able to inform the grieving family of the tragic circumstances of Sgt. Pritzl's death. On arrival here, the remains were taken charge of by members of the Arno Bloedorn Post, who conveyed them to the Luecker Funeral Home. A large concourse of sympathetic citizens were gathered at the depot when the train arrived. Funeral services were held Monday at 9:30 a.m. at the Luecker Funeral Home, followed by a Solemn Requiem High Mass at St Mary's Church here at 10 o'clock. Rev. Alfred Pritzl, an uncle of the deceased, was the celebrant of the mass, assisted by Rev. Peter Pritzl of De Pere, as Deacon, and Rev. Hubert Kleiber of Elcho as Sub-Deacon. Rev. Spillman of De Pere was Master of Ceremonies. The pall bearers were Richard and William Bartz, Leon Pritzl, Joseph Burich, Lyle Becker and James Kleiber. Burial was in St Mary's cemetery here.
