Anna (Paczinski) Witzig 1808 - 1900

Obituary from the Times Review, Fennimore, Wisconsin, May 30, 1900
 
Mrs. Anna Witzig, one of the oldest settlers in this county, was found 
unconscious Saturday afternoon by her son Frank and died Sunday morning, May 27, 
1900, without regaining consciousness. She had not been sick, having attended 
church Thursday afternoon, her death being caused by a stroke of paralysis. Her 
son Frank called on her Saturday, and unable to find her, forced an entrance. 

Mrs. Anna Witzig was born in Germany in 1808 and was married to Martin Witzig in 
1829. Ten children were born to them, five of which still survive her.  They 
are: Adam of Minnesota, Mrs. John Whitish of Preston, Frank of Fennimore, Joe of 
Clifton and Mrs. Kate Abrum of Chicago, three being present at the funeral. 

She came to this country in 1855 in company with her husband and settled in 
Clifton where she lived until the fall of 1898; she then moved to Fennimore 
where she purchased a comfortable home.  

The funeral was held from St. Mary's church, Tuesday, May 29, at 10 o'clock, 
Father Feld officiating. The remains were interred in the Prairie cemetery.
 
"All who knew her loved her."
