  • Notes 
    • Anton came to America with his sisters, mother and father from Selzaw Bohemia in the 1800's. On the way there, his father died. Entering a new country, not speaking English and having 3 children to support left his mother in difficult straits and so she put the two children in an orphanage in Milwaukee.

      When he died, his daughter Henrietta was five yrs old and had the measles at the time. She remembers having to stand on a box to view her father in his coffin.

      The rest of his children worked and brought home their money for their mother so that the family could survive.

      ...notes from Irene Soltwedel. These notes were told to her by Emma Mohelnitzky, wife of John Mohelnitzky.

      ANTON MOHELNITZKY
      Anton came to America with his parents and two sisters, Mary and Julia. On the way over, the father got sick and died when they arrived here. The mother married again and put the 3 children in an orphanage......other story....the mother died of a broken heart.

      Anton stayed in the St Francis orphanage until 14 yrs old. He wanted to study for the priesthood, but couldn't study for a priest because he was not tall enough. Sebastian Wenker or George Ruskauff took him from the orphanage to help them in the store in Cazenovia to work. Then he went out to work for himself and decided to learn the harness business in Cazenovia, WI in the old Hale barbershop where Jed Walsh later worked as a barber.

      He met Mary Ruskauff and married her, then moved to LaValle, WI and went into the harness business there. From there he moved to New Lisbon, WI and went into the business there. From there they moved to Milwaukee, WI and he worked in a big harness shop there. He got sick and died of pneumonia when my mother, Henrietta Mohelnitzkey was 5 1/2 yrs old.

      They spoke German; couldn't talk Bohemian.

      His sister Mary married a Schmitz and there are some descendants living in Milwaukee...52nd and Layton corner, Milwaukee, WI.

      His sister Julia married a George Cline and had 2 children. Her daughter married a George Cline and had 2 children. One of her daughters, Kitty, married an Otto.
      ........recorded by Irene (Duren) Soltwedel's daughter, Dianne (Soltwedel) Dieter, May 2002.
