| 58 | Alfred Kelly never married. Uncle Alf farmed in Linden Township and was a real innovator. He had the first care in the area - a Model T Ford with a crass radiator. he had an early silo filler and a threshing machine, an early Sampson tractor a Sampson truck, electric lights (a Delco plant with batteries), and an "Aucousticon" hearing aid as he was very deaf. He used his truck to take grain, vegetables and chickens to show at the State Fair at Milwaukee. he brought home many blue ribbons. uncle Alf dried seed corn and sold it before the days of hybrid corn. He was very proud of his Playmouth Rock chickens that he hatched and brooded. On graduation from high school, each of us was given a beautiful yellow rose from a plant brought from Isle of Man. He and his brother Will went to Linden high School and graduated in 1891 before it was a four year course. They took additional work at college in Valpraiso, Indiana. - from Leroy Reese - Uncle Alf and his brother will were very close partly because of their going to high school and college together and also because many of their interests were the same, for example the culture of apples and small fruits and garden produce in general. Both had large orchards and gardens. My father did not share Uncle Alf's interest in mechanical thing or in bee-keeping, the latter probably because of my mother who was very allergic to bee stings. During my first two years in high school at Mineral point I rode horseback each day to and from school, a distance of 9 miles each way. During the winter my parents made arrangements for me to board in town and than later to say with Uncle Alf. The trip from his house was only 3 miles. I have found memories of staying with him. In spite of his deafness we communicated well. He did the cooking and it was almost always oyster stew for supper. Saffron bread was by one of the aunts, Aunt Gertrude in particular I think. Prior to her death, when I was a small child, I can remember our grand mother Louise Jewel Kelly living with Uncle Alf. In fact she died in his house. Later every summer Uncle Fred and Aunt Ell came from Madison to live with Uncle Alf. - Richard A. Kelly Alfred Kelly never married. Uncle Alf farmed in Linden Township and was a real innovator.

| 68 | Anne Selles: Celebration of Life too Short by Robert and John Spoeri Anne Selles died unexpectedly in her sleep on Tuesday, April 18, 2000 at her home in Le Rouret, France from complications from bronchitis. She was fourteen years old. Anne was born in Versailles, France on October 5, 1985, not far from the famous palace where the kings and queens of France stayed. This may account for her having the charm of a princess. She was the second child of Didier Selles of Paris, France and Jeanne Spoeri of Illinois. She was the second oldest of the great-grandchildren of Clem Lane and Angela Lavery Lane. If you are reading this and you are younger than Anne, you are probably her second cousin. She lived almost all of her life in the south of France. For her entire life, Anne had a condition know as Rett Syndrome, which is severely mentally and physically disabling, and which confined her to a wheelchair. Until shortly before her death, she attended special-education classes at Les Hirondelles ("The Larks") School near her home. A Catholic funeral service was held for her at the parish church of Le Rouret on Good Friday, April 21, 2000. The parish priest officiated at the traditionally French funeral and burial rite. Both of her grandmothers traveled to the South of France to attend the funeral. Her Uncle, John W. Spoeri gave a eulogy in English, which Mr. Jaen-Marc Guillemat translated into French. The pallbearers were her brother Marc Selles and her uncles, Pierre-Yves Selles, Robert F. Spoeri and Daniel F. Spoeri. She is buried at the parish cemetery in Le Rouret. If the Selles family did not know enough about love and sacrifice before Anne was born, she certainly helped them deepen those qualities. Anne's parents, Didier and Jeanne chose to keep Anne at home. Their decision increased the hardships, but also increased their joys with Anne. because of her disability, Anne was not able to talk or walk. She also had some difficulty with eating and a susceptibility to infections and seizures. Despite these challenges, she went almost everywhere with her family. This included trips to visit her relatives in the United States, until her heath would not permit it any longer. Just last summer, she vacationed in Corsica with her family and her cousin, Elizabeth Spoeri Tracy, where she enjoyed the island's sandy beaches and warm sunshine. Swimming was her favorite sport, and Corsica gave her a chance to splash around in the Mediterranean Sea with her parents. Anne was very receptive to people and remembered faces well. Although she never uttered a word, Anne spoke volumes with her eyes. If you looked into her beautiful blue, soulful eyes, you could feel her happiness when she was smiling, as well as experience her pain when she was in distress. Despite her limitations, Anne enjoyed many of the activities of typical teenagers. Anne loved going to school and was close with all of her classmates. They were children who faced challenges in life similar to Anne's. Her best friends were Alice Guillemaut, a young girl in her school, Alice's brother Jeremy Guillemaut and their friend Florian. A great way to interact with Anne was to feed her. She would laugh, sneeze and make faces at whoever was feeding her. Anne's favorite food was a dish called "quenelles." She delighted in having a new hairdo and having stylish barrettes in her hair. Anne especially loved music, and her favorite classical piece was "Lake of Swans" by Tchaikovsky. She had a good taste. She also had a refined range of emotions. Music could make her laugh or cry. When someone woke her up in the morning, she always tried to manage a smile. She loved to hear her father whistle to her at breakfast; this was the sound she enjoyed most of all. Anne was fond of playing with "Beanie Babies" with her younger sister Nathalie. Perhaps her favorite object in life was a gift from her Aunt Darlene Spoeri. This doll went everywhere with Anne, even to the hospital. When Anne faced a difficult medical procedure, as a sigh of solidarity, the Raggedy Ann doll would have tubes attached to its nose, just the way that Anne did. Since her operation a year ago to treat her scoliosis, Anne was an even greater joy to have around the house. She went through a renaissance of sorts the last year of her life. She was in better spirits and better health during the last twelve months than she had been at any other time of her life. Anne should be in heaven right now because she is one of the few people who never did anything evil. Her legacy is absolutely positive. In that sense, Anne should be an inspiration to all of us to show us how to live. When Didier and Jeanne first learned that Anne was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome, they asked themselves how they were going to manage their lives with a handicapped child. Today, they are surly asking themselves how they will manage their lives without their handicapped child.

A great way to interact with Anne was to feed her. She would laugh, sneeze and make faces at whoever was feeding her. Anne's favorite food was a dish called "quenelles." She delighted in having a new hairdo and having stylish barrettes in her hair. Anne especially loved music, and her favorite classical piece was "Lake of Swans" by Tchaikovsky. She had a good taste. She also had a refined range of emotions. Music could make her laugh or cry. When someone woke her up in the morning, she always tried to manage a smile. She loved to hear her father whistle to her at breakfast; this was the sound she enjoyed most of all. Anne was fond of playing with "Beanie Babies" with her younger sister Nathalie. Perhaps her favorite object in life was a gift from her Aunt Darlene Spoeri. This doll went everywhere with Anne, even to the hospital. When Anne faced a difficult medical procedure, as a sigh of solidarity, the Raggedy Ann doll would have tubes attached to its nose, just the way that Anne did. Since her operation a year ago to treat her scoliosis, Anne was an even greater joy to have around the house. She went through a renaissance of sorts the last year of her life. She was in better spirits and better health during the last twelve months than she had been at any other time of her life. Anne should be in heaven right now because she is one of the few people who never did anything evil. Her legacy is absolutely positive. In that sense, Anne should be an inspiration to all of us to show us how to live. When Didier and Jeanne first learned that Anne was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome, they asked themselves how they were going to manage their lives with a handicapped child. Today, they are surly asking themselves how they will manage their lives without their handicapped child. Anne Selles: Celebration of Life too Short by Robert and John Spoeri Anne Selles died unexpectedly in her sleep on Tuesday, April 18, 2000 at her home in Le Rouret, France from complications from bronchitis. She was fourteen years old. Anne was born in Versailles, France on October 5, 1985, not far from the famous palace where the kings and queens of France stayed. This may account for her having the charm of a princess. She was the second child of Didier Selles of Paris, France and Jeanne Spoeri of Illinois. She was the second oldest of the great-grandchildren of Clem Lane and Angela Lavery Lane. If you are reading this and you are younger than Anne, you are probably her second cousin. She lived almost all of her life in the south of France. For her entire life, Anne had a condition know as Rett Syndrome, which is severely mentally and physically disabling, and which confined her to a wheelchair. Until shortly before her death, she attended special-education classes at Les Hirondelles ("The Larks") School near her home. A Catholic funeral service was held for her at the parish church of Le Rouret on Good Friday, April 21, 2000. The parish priest officiated at the traditionally French funeral and burial rite. Both of her grandmothers traveled to the South of France to attend the funeral. Her Uncle, John W. Spoeri gave a eulogy in English, which Mr. Jaen-Marc Guillemat translated into French. The pallbearers were her brother Marc Selles and her uncles, Pierre-Yves Selles, Robert F. Spoeri and Daniel F. Spoeri. She is buried at the parish cemetery in Le Rouret. If the Selles family did not know enough about love and sacrifice before Anne was born, she certainly helped them deepen those qualities. Anne's parents, Didier and Jeanne chose to keep Anne at home. Their decision increased the hardships, but also increased their joys with Anne. because of her disability, Anne was not able to talk or walk. She also had some difficulty with eating and a susceptibility to infections and seizures. Despite these challenges, she went almost everywhere with her family. This included trips to visit her relatives in the United States, until her heath would not permit it any longer. Just last summer, she vacationed in Corsica with her family and her cousin, Elizabeth Spoeri Tracy, where she enjoyed the island's sandy beaches and warm sunshine. Swimming was her favorite sport, and Corsica gave her a chance to splash around in the Mediterranean Sea with her parents. Anne was very receptive to people and remembered faces well. Although she never uttered a word, Anne spoke volumes with her eyes. If you looked into her beautiful blue, soulful eyes, you could feel her happiness when she was smiling, as well as experience her pain when she was in distress.

"A Tribute of a Father's Affection in Fondest Memory of his Beloved Daughter" Cora Mariae Dympna E. de M. Gift of The Heart of The Saviour; she came on November's First Friday, A joy to her father and mother, into this Valley of Sorrows; Cora Mariae baptised her, completing her name with St. Dympna Sanctified Virgin and Martyr of the princely stock of Milesius. And our baby waxed strong; and grew winsome; and all our relations admired her; And Willy, our firstborn, tremulously, would croon to his sweet little sister. To the white-robed Daughters of Dominic were entrusted her infantile lispings, Who taught her the early, preliminary, notes on the Scale of Salvation; Of Jesus! of Mary! of Joseph! and of Happy Hereafter Re-union! The simpler lessons of childhood up to First Holy Communion. And daily we'd part at the corner, smilingly bidding good morning! She to attend to her lessons - I to my worldly vocations. Then to the Nuns Sacre Coeur - Still under the aegis of Catherine, In her Convent that stands on Mount Michael, on the verge of the City Primatial. There Cora continued her studies, and in further pursuit of Salvation, And His Eminence Michael The Cardinal confirmed her in holy religion; In the faith of Saints Patrick and Brigid - in the faith of her patron St. Dympna; And in the first blush of her maidhood came home as an Enfant de Marie. She was fair to behold and engaging, and winning in sweet disposition; Beloved of her father and mother; beloved of her brothers and sister; Beloved by her loving relations; beloved by our kindly good neighbours. To assist in the duties domestic was the aim of her earthly ambition; To be a relief to her mother, to make our home happy and gladsome, And returning each week from my journey she would meet me and kiss me a welcome. But Cora began to grow frailer, her cheeks were now pale and now hectic, And every week-end I could notice her, imperceptibly, weaker. To several physicians we brought her, in hopes they would cure our poor darling, And we took her away into Wicklow, into the Garden of Erin; Hoping 'gainst hope the fresh air of the country would surely restore her, And there in the bleak Sanatorium for over two months did she linger. Aye, there in the bleak Sanatorium she lingered two months purgatorial; Away from the comforts of home - from the solace of Holy Religion; Duped by false hopes of recovery, daily and hourly repeated, Assuring they surely would cure her by injection of serum tuberclin, Her loneliness barely illumined by our hurried occasional visits, And she never complained, or a murmur; she suffered and meekly submitted. On a Thursday she came home to see us; to visit her Father Confessor; To live a few hours with her mother, along with her brothers and sister, And the boys made a couch in the garden, where Cora might rest in the sunshine, Whilst Annie spread striplets of carpeting over the flags in the courtway; And there she reclined in the sunshine, in the sunshine of home and of heaven, And when I returned on the Friday, she came and she kissed me a welcome. Next day we were happily together, and we pressed her stay with us till Monday; "No Mother!" she answered, "they'll cure me; to-night they inject the tuberclin!" Same evening she went back to Sonas, - my duty of love to escort her, Purest of white were her garments, a cincture of gold for her girdle, Her hat - 'twas a present from Auntie - she looked as if dressed for her bridal, And as we passed down through the City the people looked after admiring her. 'Twas a glorious evening in summer as we wound through the Vale of Shanaganagh, And coasting along by the sea shore, the mountain peaks gambolled in sunshine. She had prints for the nurses and inmates, printed by Willy her brother, From photographs taken last Sunday we paid her our weekly visit; It was something so gay in the sunset, to see her exhibit her pictures! Holly, calmly submissive! - I kissed her and took my departure. And this was the last, upon earth, that I've seen of my beautiful Cora, As she waved me farewell from the casement. That night they injected tuberclin. When they came to her chamber next morning, poor Cora's remains were inanimate! And she died all alone, the poor darling! - No! God and his Angels were with her! 'Twas the feast-day of Cora Mariae - of the Sacred Heart of His Mother, And they took back her soul to her Saviour - 'twas the eve of our Lady of Carmel.

Same evening she went back to Sonas, - my duty of love to escort her, Purest of white were her garments, a cincture of gold for her girdle, Her hat - 'twas a present from Auntie - she looked as if dressed for her bridal, And as we passed down through the City the people looked after admiring her. 'Twas a glorious evening in summer as we wound through the Vale of Shanaganagh, And coasting along by the sea shore, the mountain peaks gambolled in sunshine. She had prints for the nurses and inmates, printed by Willy her brother, From photographs taken last Sunday we paid her our weekly visit; It was something so gay in the sunset, to see her exhibit her pictures! Holly, calmly submissive! - I kissed her and took my departure. And this was the last, upon earth, that I've seen of my beautiful Cora, As she waved me farewell from the casement. That night they injected tuberclin. When they came to her chamber next morning, poor Cora's remains were inanimate! And she died all alone, the poor darling! - No! God and his Angels were with her! 'Twas the feast-day of Cora Mariae - of the Sacred Heart of His Mother, And they took back her soul to her Saviour - 'twas the eve of our Lady of Carmel.

"A Tribute of a Father's Affection in Fondest Memory of his Beloved Daughter" Cora Mariae Dympna E. de M. Gift of The Heart of The Saviour; she came on November's First Friday, A joy to her father and mother, into this Valley of Sorrows; Cora Mariae baptised her, completing her name with St. Dympna Sanctified Virgin and Martyr of the princely stock of Milesius. And our baby waxed strong; and grew winsome; and all our relations admired her; And Willy, our firstborn, tremulously, would croon to his sweet little sister. To the white-robed Daughters of Dominic were entrusted her infantile lispings, Who taught her the early, preliminary, notes on the Scale of Salvation; Of Jesus! of Mary! of Joseph! and of Happy Hereafter Re-union! The simpler lessons of childhood up to First Holy Communion. And daily we'd part at the corner, smilingly bidding good morning! She to attend to her lessons - I to my worldly vocations. Then to the Nuns Sacre Coeur - Still under the aegis of Catherine, In her Convent that stands on Mount Michael, on the verge of the City Primatial. There Cora continued her studies, and in further pursuit of Salvation, And His Eminence Michael The Cardinal confirmed her in holy religion; In the faith of Saints Patrick and Brigid - in the faith of her patron St. Dympna; And in the first blush of her maidhood came home as an Enfant de Marie. She was fair to behold and engaging, and winning in sweet disposition; Beloved of her father and mother; beloved of her brothers and sister; Beloved by her loving relations; beloved by our kindly good neighbours. To assist in the duties domestic was the aim of her earthly ambition; To be a relief to her mother, to make our home happy and gladsome, And returning each week from my journey she would meet me and kiss me a welcome. But Cora began to grow frailer, her cheeks were now pale and now hectic, And every week-end I could notice her, imperceptibly, weaker. To several physicians we brought her, in hopes they would cure our poor darling, And we took her away into Wicklow, into the Garden of Erin; Hoping 'gainst hope the fresh air of the country would surely restore her, And there in the bleak Sanatorium for over two months did she linger. Aye, there in the bleak Sanatorium she lingered two months purgatorial; Away from the comforts of home - from the solace of Holy Religion; Duped by false hopes of recovery, daily and hourly repeated, Assuring they surely would cure her by injection of serum tuberclin, Her loneliness barely illumined by our hurried occasional visits, And she never complained, or a murmur; she suffered and meekly submitted. On a Thursday she came home to see us; to visit her Father Confessor; To live a few hours with her mother, along with her brothers and sister, And the boys made a couch in the garden, where Cora might rest in the sunshine, Whilst Annie spread striplets of carpeting over the flags in the courtway; And there she reclined in the sunshine, in the sunshine of home and of heaven, And when I returned on the Friday, she came and she kissed me a welcome. Next day we were happily together, and we pressed her stay with us till Monday; "No Mother!" she answered, "they'll cure me; to-night they inject the tuberclin!" Same evening she went back to Sonas, - my duty of love to escort her, Purest of white were her garments, a cincture of gold for her girdle, Her hat - 'twas a present from Auntie - she looked as if dressed for her bridal, And as we passed down through the City the people looked after admiring her. 'Twas a glorious evening in summer as we wound through the Vale of Shanaganagh, And coasting along by the sea shore, the mountain peaks gambolled in sunshine. She had prints for the nurses and inmates, printed by Willy her brother, From photographs taken last Sunday we paid her our weekly visit; It was something so gay in the sunset, to see her exhibit her pictures!
