Maria Elisabeth Boos
- Born: Mar 16, 1849 in Germany
- Married Folmer Marthenze 4/3/1876 in Sheboygan, WI
- Died 1928 Sheboygan
- Buried in Wildwood Cemetery, Sheboygan, WI
Children:
- Peter, born 12/17/1876 in Sheboygan; died in infancy at about 8 months of age in 1877
- Anna Catharina, born 10/16/1878 in Sheboygan. Married Orville C. Hammond, no children
Miscellaneous notes:
Folmar and Maria had two children; Anna Catharina and Peter, who died as an infant when he was just old enough to sit and eat solid food, according to written family history. He is buried in the Juniper Beach Cemetery , which is just south of what was Folmar’s land. Over the years all but one of the stones in that cemetery have been destroyed or stolen by vandals. The only one that remains is a monument to two brothers who drowned in 1850. Perhaps because of her infant son’s death and isolation in what was then a remote wooded area, she became mentally unstable and severely depressed. Folmar’s strong sense of individualism probably didn’t help the situation, and she was institutionalized at the insane asylum in Sheboygan where she lived the rest of her life until her death in 1928. Folmer and their daughter, Anna Catherine, along with his new common-law wife and their children, often came to visit her on Sundays. She is buried next to Folmer.
