Margaret Fidler, age 92 of Virgil, IL, passed away Sunday afternoon, August 14, 2005 at Provena Mercy Center Hospital, Aurora IL where she had recently been a patient. Claiming the long held promise of her faith, she went peacefully home to Heaven and the company of her beloved husband, Joseph.

Margaret was born April 9, 1913 in a farm house in a small town in Wisconsin called Random Lake, which is about 30 miles from Sheboygan. She was the only daughter and second child of Michael and Kathryn Schomer, both primarily German descent. Michael, her dad, grew up in Aurora, IL, while her mother Kathryn grew up in Random Lake.

At four months old, lightning struck the family home while Margaret was sleeping and her mother was milking the cows. Miraculously, Margaret's mother sprinted back to the house and rescued Margaret through the smoke and the flames. The house burned to the ground and all was lost except Margaret and the kitchen sugar bowl.

Although her father rebuilt a home for them, times were tough and within a few years, the family moved to Storm Lake, Iowa. Margaret often recalled wonderful years there. The farm had a stream running through its beautiful pastures and Margaret would ride through them each day, rounding up the cows for her parents. The images and feelings of those years were indelibly imprinted on her heart. The memory of them would always bring a sense of peace and comfort.

Margaret attended country Iowa schools through the eight grade when the family moved to Oswego, IL. She finally finished high school in Oswego and graduated Salutatorian of the class of 1931. In the fall of that year, she began college studies at NIU but with the financial pressures of Great Depression, she was forced to return home after her first semester.

Not long afterward, Margaret met Joseph Nicholas Fidler at Sunday dinner at her brother's house. The spark of romance caught fire that afternoon and on November 28, 1935, Margaret and Joseph were married and moved to the Fidler farm in Virgil.

Like many farm wives of her generation, Margaret was a great cook, an ambitious gardener and an accomplished seamstress. She also raised both broiler chickens for meat and layer chickens for eggs, which supplemented her family's income.

Margaret was active in the local Altar and Rosary Society at S.S. Peter & Paul Church and the Mother's Club. She cooked and served mountains of food for weddings and funerals at church and secretly looked forward to dances after the weddings. Margaret was an accomplished dancer and loved to polka, fox trot and do the two-step.

She made sure her children had the best education that she could afford, sending all of them to college prep-high school, 25 miles from Virgil. Not unlike today's mother's, she was also the ever-ready chauffer to and from everything.

Following Joseph's death in 1993, life slowed down for Margaret as she took more time to read and do crossword puzzles. As health declined and the road "home" turned up-hill once more, Margaret's faith, family and special friends including Dalia Danelente of Lithuania, Stevie Bateman and Vickie McGuire helped her through. In December of 2001, Margaret became a resident at the McAuley Manor, Aurora where devoted and faithful caregivers continued to look after Margaret until Tuesday, August 9, when she was admitted to Provena Mercy Center. There, surrounded by her loving and devoted family, the Lord came Sunday afternoon to take Margaret home. At 4:35pm, as gently as a summer breeze, her life passed from time unto Eternity and the company of saints and loved one's who awaited her on Heaven's shore.

Living a life that spanned horse and buggy days to space travel and cell phones, Margaret took it all in stride but kept in her heart those timeless and transcending gifts of love and faith. She was devoted to her Catholic faith , but not far behind, you could trace a long suffering devotion to the Cubs, Bears and the Bulls. Margaret loved her big cars too, like the Buick Roadmaster, among others. She was a staunch Democrat in a family of Republicans but her patriotism waved a genuine {and non-partisan} "red, white and blue!" She was without question, a woman who lived with vision and virtue, passion for her family and country and devotion to her Lord.

She is survived by three children and their families; {One Daughter & Son-in-law of Elburn, Two sons & Daughter-in-laws; 8 grandsons & Their spouses, and 5 granddaughters & their Spouses; and 21 great-grandchildren, It appears they were all in Illinois} Margaret is survived as well by six step grandchildren and one step great-great grandchild. {The children, grandchildren, etc. in this obit was a bit hard to follow, I am not sure I have the counts correct, but have done the best I could in figuring this out. Please retrieve the original for more details - Webmistress}.

Margaret joins now her parents and her husband Joseph who preceded her in death.

A sad accident, which caused the death of Mrs. Peter Fick of Louis Corners, occurred on highway 32, four miles east of Kiel, Sunday morning at about 10:30, while she was on her way to church. The Ford coupe which she was driving, and a Chevrolet touring car driven by Paul Albrecht, and also occupied by Alvin Voss, both of Meeme, collided.

Mrs. Fick was traveling south on the town road and Mr. Albrecht was going west on highway 32. When she came near the crossing of the highway, Mrs. Fick stopped to let off her grandson, Walter Bub, and she had driven half way across the intersection when the rear wheel of her car was struck by the Chevrolet, which came over the top of the hill. The young men did not see Mrs. Fick until it was too late to avoid the accident. The crossing cannot be seen before reaching the top of the hill.

Mrs. Fick was thrown against the door of her coupe by the force of the impact which caused it to open and permit her to be thrown out of the car. Her feet caught in the door and she was dragged over the ground when the car swung around, striking her head on a stone. Physicians from Kiel and Manitowoc authorities were called while Mrs. Fick was taken to the farm home of John Voss, Jr., where she died a short time later.

A coroner�s jury, which was drawn Monday, and will be called on to fix the blame for the death of Mrs. Fick, consists of the following: Rud. Greve, Geo. Meyer, Erwin Boeselager, Edgar Burkhardt, Alb. Wagenknecht, and C. A. Wallman. Monday afternoon they were taken by Sheriff Ed. Kasten to view the remains of Mrs. Fick at the Meiselwitz undertaking parlors, and from there they went to the spot where the accident occurred.

John Fonteine, a highly respected pioneer of the town of Holland, expired at his home in Cedar Grove on June 27, 1909. He had been ill for a year or more, but the immediate cause of death was hemorrhage.

The last sad rites were performed on June 29, and the interment was in the Union cemetery in that village, the Rev. J.W.F. Roth of the Presbyterian church officiating.

Mr. Fonteine was born in Zeeland, Holland, on March 31, 1824. He came to America in 1854, the voyage from Rotterdam requiring forty-five days. One year later, in 1855, he settled in the town of Holland. He had learned the trade of carpenter, and he continued to work at it intermittently, although he changed his occupation to that of farming.

His marriage with Miss Elizabeth Muelendyk was solemnized in 1864 at Cedar Grove. The wife preceded him in death fourteen years. He is survived by his son Adrian Fonteine, the postmaster and well-known citizen of Cedar Grove.

His loyalty to the country of his adoption was shown by his service during the Rebellion. He was a member of Company G, 34th Wis Reg and Company H, 6th Wis. Reg.

That not all had been well with him during the afternoon was observed by a fellow workman, but since he continued with his labors no further notice of what seemed like a strange action on his part was taken. Soon after the plant shut down for the day, which it does on Saturdays at five o'clock, he went into an adjoining room, where a few minutes later he was found lying on the floor dead.

Coroner Feagen being summoned the cause of death was inquired into. He found that Mr. Freimuth had died of heart failure.

Interment in the Firmin cemetery on the Dye road. Godlib Fisher, a practical farmer, whose home is on section 7, Lima township, is one of the honored veterans of the late war. He is a native of Wurtemberg, Germany, and was born in 1827. He is one of a family of 4 sons and 4 daughters, whose parents were John and Mary (Shiller) Fisher. The father was a mechanic and carpenter by trade, and followed contracting and building extensively. He was thoroughly educated in the German language and was a participant in several of the most important battles of the Franco-German War of 1812, fighting against the Emperor Napoleon in the German army. He was severely wounded in the right foot and left leg. For his bravery he was presented with a beautiful silver medal by the King of Wurtemberg. There is only one sister of the family living, Louisa, wife of Andrew Gunther, who resides near Sandusky, Ohio. Godlib Fisher set sail from Havre, France, with his parents in 1834 and was thirty-six days on the ocean in the good ship "France Age Steppo." On landing in New York, they proceeded to Buffalo, where the government tried to press the father into service. However, he continued his journey as far as Sandusky, Ohio, near which he entered fifty acres of land in the thick forest. The country was sparsely settled and Indians and wild animals were abundant. The parents died on this homestead, the father at the age of seventy-three years and the mother in her eightieth year. On coming to America our subject was a child of seven years, and his youth was spent in the wilderness, engaged in clearing and improving his father's farm. He received a fair English and German education and continued under the parental roof until twenty-three years of age. His first active business for himself was in Sandusky, where he obtained employment in the depot warehouse where he remained for some three years. Then returning to the old farm he operated it for a year, but as it did not seem profitable he decided to return to his former employment, but, in Sandusky, he met a friend who said "Let us go West and buy a farm." Accordingly, with five of his comrades, he came to Sheboygan county in 1854 settling in the town of Scott. Before leaving Ohio Mr. Fisher was united in marriage to Miss Lena Crysinger on March 22, 1853. Mrs. Fisher was also born in Germany. By this union nine children were born, six sons and three daughters, six of whom are still living as follows: John, George and Gottlieb of Clark county, Wis., Mrs. Herman Truttschel and Mrs. Frank Littlefield of Lima and Mrs. John Brickbauer of Plymouth. To each of his children he gave 80 acres of land with a good residence, necessary buildings and farming implements. Mrs. Fisher was a valuable helpmate to her husband aiding him in every possible way. Mr. Fisher enlisted in Company F. Thirty-seventh Wisconsin Infantry in 1864 and served until the close of the war. he was ordered at once to Fortress Monroe, then to City Point, and thence into the hottest of the battle near Petersburg, Va. On the 25th of March, 1865 he was present at the hard-fought battle of Fort Stedman. On the 2nd of the following April he was in the terrible battle at Ft. Mahon where many of his comrades met death. An incident related by Mr. Fisher shows one of his narrow escapes. He was sitting in his tent writing a letter, when a shell came rolling near his feet. It stopped only a short distance from him, and there exploded, but as he had instantly thrown himself flat on the ground escaped without injury. His regiment was later placed to guard a railroad until the surrender of Gen. Lee, at which time they were only four miles from Richmond. They took part in the Grand Review at Washington, one of the greatest military displays ever witnessed, after which they were discharged at Finleytown, four miles from Washington, and their final discharge papers were received in Madison, Wis.

Fred Fredricks, aged 28 years, whose home is at Ne Koose, Wis., died yesterday. He had been a resident of the city since Sept. 28th, taking treatments. The body will be shipped to his home tomorrow.

The wide circle of friends of Miss Clara Friedrichs will be pained to learn of her untimely death which took place at 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at St. Nicholas hospital, after an illness of some length. For nine weeks she had been at the hospital and had undergone two operations in hopes of saving her life but all to no avail. Miss Friedrichs was born in this city in November, 1878 and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Friedrichs, who reside at 1526 Indiana avenue this city. When she was first taken ill her condition was not deemed alarming but later an operation was planned with the only hopes of saving her life. Later a second operation was necessary, but her condition had steadily grown worse and though every effort was put forth on the part of skillful surgeons, it was useless. Miss Friedrichs had resided in Sheboygan all her lifetime and each year she had added to her list of acquaintances. A life has gone out when everything seemed brightest, and a pall is cast over the home from which she has been taken. There is consolation in those surviving in the knowledge that she is beyond all suffering, in the land where all is sunshine, and where sickness is a stranger. Death in this instance is sad, for the bereaved parents are confined to their home, both being ill, and the father seriously. Besides her parents she is survived by three sisters, Mrs. John Steimele, Mrs. Otto E. Zwerg Jr., Miss Ida Friedrichs and one brother August, all of this city. The funeral will be held on Tuesday at 2 o'clock from the home of Otto E. Zwerg, 1614 North Eighth street, the Rev. Horstmeier officiating. Interment will take place in the new cemetery. The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of their many friends in this hour of their sad bereavement.

Among these were several which deserve special mention, among them the "Gates Ajar" and "Broken Wheel" and a basket of roses. Requiem mass was sung by Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Strassburger, Miss Erna Ebenreiter and Fred Eckardt. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Horstmeier of the German Reformed church, and burial was in Wildwood cemetery. The pallbearers were Oswald Zimbal, Joseph Herr, A.L. Hartman, Herman Radtke, Oscar Friedrichs and Anton Illig.
