Notes for JOACHIM KASTEL/JOHN KESSLER/KASTELL:
Joachim Kastel was his birth name, but he went by several aliases. He got married on the 16th of May 1870 at St. Boniface Catholic Church to Appolonia Hoffmann, under the name of Joachim. After some years, he changed his name to John Kessler, and his wife was called Anna, and at times Maria. He left this family after having six children and went up north. He later married Clara D. Arldt Barker and they had six children. About this time, Joachim took the name of John Kastell.

From his obituary:

John Kastell, age 62 years, 9 months and 2 days , departed this life on Thursday night, October 12, about 12 o'clock, 1911, at his home in Tanner's addition. Deceased was born at Germantown, Washington County, Wisconsin, and has resided in Kaukauna with his family for eleven years. He had been married twice, having separated from his first wife by which union he was the father of six children, two of whom are still living. His widow of the second marriage survives, together with two sons and two daughters, two children by this marriage having departed this life. Those of the present family living are: Mrs. Wm. Schmaltz, Myrtle, Clarence, and Ellsworth. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon at the South Congregational church, Rev. Samuel MacNeill officiating, with interment at the union cemetery. The pall-bearers were as follows: John Hiting, George Kromer, Chris Kandler, Raymond Juneau, Jos. Kailhofer and John Pein. The deceased was not affiliated with any fraternal societies, but carried a life insurance of $1,000 with the Western Life Indemnity Co. of Chicago, his widow being the beneficiary.

Mrs. Kastell and the children wish to express heartfelt thanks to their neighbors, and many kind friends who assisted them, and rendered valuable aid during their affliction. The many kindnesses will ever be cherished in memory.

Notes for MILDRED MATILDA KESSLER:
Sr. Mary Sponsa Kessler lived with her family in Combined Locks where her father and brothers worked in a 'big paper Mill Then the family moved to Appleton where on six acres there was one cow, one horse, chickens, cats, a woods to play in, a garden to work in, a hay field so the cow could be fed and a dog. She was confirmed at 15 at St. Joseph Church in Appleton. After that she went directly to the convent.

Sr. Mary Kessler taught 2nd graders for 60 years, most of those years at St. Jerome in Oconomowoc.
While there is no difficulty in maintaining discipline with second graders, or to enchant them with the Bible stories, she realizes the never-ending battle that goes on, notably with television for their attention.

She taught in Chicago at Holy Guardian School, until it was closed because the University of Chicago wanted their property for expansion, and the late Mayor Richard Daly said that the deal was made. She then came to St. Jerome.

She retired at the end of the 1993 school year, but she intended to stay in the business as an aide at St. Joan of Arc, in Okauchee. "I can't really retire. I'm too active to be shelved," she said.
