She was born in the village of Schillingen, in today's Rheinland Pfalz of modern Germany. At the time of her birth and childhood, this was part of the Kingdom of Prussia; then ruled by Frederick William IV of the House of Hohenzollern. She died at home, on 310 Campbell Street in Madison, the cause cited being Hypostatic Pneumonia, with senility and nephritis contributing factors. I have very little first hand information about her from those who knew her. She died before my mother was born, but at the time of her death, my mother's older siblings were aged 11, 9, 7, 5, and 1. Certainly elderly during the last 11 years of her life, with the hardships of farming and more than a dozen pregnancies, if I were she, I think I might have been a grumpy elderly woman. Oh, and by the way, she was my great grandmother.

MOST of her children are linked to this memorial, but at least one I know of is not, as we do not know when the child was born and died. It can be concluded that Theresa was born in either 1889 or 1890, and had died before autumn of 1891, for she does not appear in a photo where William (born in July 1981) is an infant. Presumably, she was buried at St Michael Roman Catholic Cemetery in the Village of Dane, but a number of burials there have been lost. For instance, a Margaretha Endres' tombstone was found in the backyard of a local home when excavating to put up a large deck. The stone was broken in two, but still easily readable, though covered in a lot of dirt that had stuck firmly to the porous stone.

She also had a son named Francis H. Endres, 1879 - 8 Jan 1959, who is buried at Resurrection Cemetery, but does not yet have a memorial on this site. "Uncle Frank" was married twice, first to Catherine Kessenich, and second to a woman named Mabel.
