Mary E Woodruff (1843-1920)

Mary Woodruff was born 1843 in Bohemia.  Her father was Martin Woodruff and she had a sister named Sophia(1842) and a brother, Frank(1851).  Mary and her family immigrated to Milwaukee in 1860.

She met and married fellow Bohemian Frank Peshek.  They had seven children together before divorcing sometime after 1882; Sophia (1863), Frank (1868), Mary (1869), John Albert (1872), William (1875), Robert James (1879), and Rose M (1882). By this time, they had moved north, to Green Bay.

  Mary Woodruff remarried sometime after Rose is born, to a Frank Joseph Jolley, who then adopts Rose.  It's unclear what happened between Mary and Frank Peshek, and why they separated.  The Federal census of 1890 was destroyed by fire, and the next census I have to go on is the state census of 1895.  In 1895, Mary Woodruff Peshek is now Mary Jolley and she is living in Appleton, a widow, with her daughter Rose and another daughter from her second marriage, Jessie Ida Jolley.

The four youngest Peshek children would still be dependent and living at home, but only Rose was adopted by Frank Joseph Jolley.  Did Mary abandon her other children?  Did Frank Peshek raise them on his own? I'm still looking for answers for this blank period of their life.

Mary resided in Appleton, until her death November 3rd, 1920.

Bohemia

      Bohemia is a region of modern day Czech Republic.  It is bordered by Bavaria to the West, Saxony to the North, Poland to the Northeast, and Austria to the South.  During the time of the Holy Roman Empire, Bohemia was it's own kingdom until 1526, when it came under Austrian rule by the Hapsburg Monarchy.  Prague was even capital of the Holy Roman Empire at one point!  Under Hapsburg rule, Bohemia became increasingly more German, with the German language being spoken predominantly.  In 1848, many Czech nationalists revolted and wanted to restore Bohemia as Czech and independent, apart from Austria.  The revolution failed and Bohemia did not become independent until after WWI, when it became know as Czechoslovakia.  Pamphlet in German extolling the climate and soil of Wisconsin                  My 4th great-grandfather Martin Woodruff came to the States in 1854, from Bohemi...

Appleton

The territory where Appleton is today was traditionally occupied by the  Ho-Chunk  and the  Menominee . The Menominee Nation ceded the territory to the United States in the  Treaty of the Cedars  in 1836, with  Chief Oshkosh  representing the Menominee.  In the Menominee language, Appleton is known as  Ahkōnemeh , or "watches for them place".   Fur traders seeking to do business with Fox River Valley Indians were the first settlers in Appleton. Hippolyte Grignon built the White Heron in 1835 to house his family and serve as an inn and trading post. Germans, Dutch and Poles were some of the first immigrants to come to Appleton. Oneida Indians also live in the Oneida reservation just north of town.  Appleton shares its history with Lawrence University, for the two grew simultaneously.  With the financial backing of Amos Lawrence, the Lawrence Institute was chartered in 1847. Samuel Appleton donated $10,000...

Burial of Centennarian

Green Bay Press Gazette, Sept 23, 1899 After posting my previous article " Following a lead on Martin Woodruff ", Newspapers.com uploaded more copies of the Green Bay Press Gazette for the years 1870-2019.  I searched Martin Woodruff and the first result was his obit from Sept. 23rd 1899!   Sure enough, it mentions that he was living with his daughter, Mrs. Gravy at 334 Maple av.  It feels good to have my previous research confirmed.  The more sources, the better able we are to form a picture of someone's life. See my article Martin Woodruff: The Elder for more about him.
