Longtime Resident
The stoic image shown above is of Catherine Antony, born 1832, died 1906. Born in Bayern, Germany as Catherine Lemmel, she was a longtime resident of Menasha, first appearing in the 1860 census. A mother to three children, she was the wife of John (or Johann) Antony, a native of Prussia and a merchant who ran the store, pictured above at the left in the 200 block of Third Street. To the right is the family home.
