Notes for JOHN GEORGE KESTELL:
John George Kestell III was born 12 Jan. 1884 in the Town of Germantown, Washington County, WI. He married Elizabeth Netzer at Holy Trinity Church at School Hill Wisconsin on 8 June 1909. They went to Niagara Falls on their honeymoon after a reception at the home of the brides parents. John died 17 December 1918 after a weeks illness with the flu and double pneumonia. They were married nine and one half years at the time of his death. John and Elizabeth had four children: Lester, Melroy, Helen and Evelyn.

Elizabeth was born 23 August 1883 in the town of Meeme, Manitowoc County, WI., and died 24 May 1982 in the town of Centerville, Manitowoc Co. She was three months short of her 99th birthday.

Before John's death, he had put an important addition on the house - a pantry and a bathroom. In order to have running water, one had to hand pump water to a tank above the kitchen. This water circulated through a water front on the kitchen range and heated it for the bathroom. When we moved to Sheboygan, we didn't even have a bathroom in our house there. We had a toilet in the basement with a tank up high with a long chain on it which you had to pull to flush the toilet.

After the death of her husband, Elizabeth could not go on farming with four small children to support and raise - the oldest was seven and the youngest was two, so she rented the farm to Louis Dessloch and his family and sold the personal to him. The farm was rented to the Dessloch family for five years. In the meantime, Elizabeth and her four children moved to Sheboygan where Elizabeth worked part time at Jungs Department Store, and also at H.C. Prange. (Cont'd under more about Elizabeth)

Notes for ELIZABETH NETZER:
After fives years time, and the lease for the farm was up, Lester was 12 years old and Melroy was 10, and they wanted to move back to the farm. In May of 1924 the big move was made. That summer was a very hard one for Elizabeth, as the farm and the farm home was very run down and needed very much work to get it back to normal. Every room in the house had the wall paper torn off and was repapered or repainted, or both. Everyone of the kids helped in the big project.

The first year that we were back to the farm, Elizabeth had the farm run by a neighbor, Fred Toll, on shares. Then four cows were purchased from Sixel's near Cleveland. In those days, there were not any trucks to haul them, or it was not the practice, so we drove them from Cleveland to Elkhart Lake. There were at least two or three cars that would pick up us kids to get ahead of the cows while someone else would drive them along. Of course, in those days, there were good fences along the roads. Someone would have to be ahead to keep the cows from going into an open gate or turning a corner or going into a driveway.

Then a new car was purchased and the big expense of getting personal property, horses etc. that were very necessary to running the farm. The boys would have to go out and do chores before they went to school, as the hired man left when the field work was finished until spring's work began. If wood had to be made, the hired man was there a few weeks longer.

The year that Lester was 16, and Melroy was 14, they did all the farm work with the very good guidance of their mother. We all enjoyed our field trips to check on the crops.

We were only back on the farm about four years when the stock market crash came in 1929 We had just had our farm wired for Electricity as the Electric Power came past our place in 1929. Mom had bought a new radio, and also an electric stove, before things got really bad.
