ANNABEL BRENNAN SCHWELLENBACH was born in Castlecomer Co., Kilkenny, Ireland, March 6, 1833. She was the daughter of Patrick Brennan and Ann Baker. She was educated in Episcopal Parochial schools while in Ireland and in Grace Jones private school in Watertown, 'Wisconsin. She immigrated to America with her family in 1845. They settled in Watertown, Wisconsin and later in Attica, Indiana where her father worked for the railroad as a timekeeper and clerk. She was the oldest of nine children.

Annabel married Ernest Schwellenbach January 7, 1855. They had eight children. She died February 25, 1876 in Jefferson, Wisconsin at the age of 43 from diabetes. She is buried in the St. Lawrence Cemetery in Jefferson, Wisconsin.

MRS. ERNEST SCHWELLENBACH The announcement, on last Saturday forenoon, that Mrs. Schwellenbach was dying, spread rapidly through this village and cast a gloom over the entire community. For several months it was generally known that she was in very feeble health, but no one had the thought that the disease would tenninate so fatally and so suddenly. But a few days before her death she was able to sit up, and her relatives and friends rejoiced in the belief that with the warm days of spring she would again be able to be about, therefore they were unprepared for the sudden announcement that came to them on that day.
Mrs. Schwellenbach was the wife of Mr. Ernest Schwellenbach, formerly Sheriff and at present Under Sheriff of this county, and keeper of the jail. She was born in Castle Comer, Kilkenny County Ireland on the 6th day of March 1833, and had she lived until next Monday she would have been- 48 years old. Her maiden name was Annabelle Brennan, and she was the oldest of a family of nine children, six of whom, we believe are still living. She immigrated to this country with her parents, and settled in Watertown when she was but eleven years of age, and came to this Village about 26 years ago, and remained until her death. She had been married 21 years, and had born eight children, two of whom are dead. She died Saturday, February 26, 1876, at 2:45 P.M. She leaves her husband and six children,

the youngest but two and a half years old, and the oldest 19 years. Their affection is great, and they have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Her funeral was held at St. John's Church, (Catholic) on the following Tuesday. The procession of mourners who followed her remains to the church and to the grave, was the largest ever witnessed in this place, and included a large delegation from Watertown, and Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Jung, of Milwaukee.
