Bio
Paulina Noeske was born in Pawlowko, (now Poland)West Prussia and married Julius Lemke, a uniformed Prussian soldier on 7 Feb 1864 in the Lutheran Church of Gallantsche parish (now Poland). The couple first had twins girls who died, then a son, Eduard Albert Lemke also in Gollantsche parish. Next they moved to Turze, Exin Parish where their son, Amiel was born. Julius and Pauline immigrated with their two first sons about 1872-1874 moving first to Iowa. In August of 1874, a daughter, Bertha, was born in Iowa. In May of 1876, John Julius Jr. was born in Sibley, Osceola, Iowa according to his death certificate. In Feb 1878, Herman was born in Iowa. In the 1880 census, the family lived on a farm in Jefferson Township, Bremer Co., Iowa which was where Minnie was born in September of 1880. The parents were 37, Edward was 9, Emil 7,Bertha 6, John was 4 and Herman was 2. Minnie was also born in Iowa after the 1880 census, then baptized in Minnesota. Their son, Charles, was born in Henderson, Sibley Co., MN in May of 1882. In 1885 Julius was living in Chelsea, Taylor County, WI with ten in the family according to the state census. In Nov of that year, their last child, Emma, was born. In February of 1889, a tragic accident at the Kennedy logging camp occurred and Julius's foot was crushed. He got blood poisoning and around the first of March, two doctors amputated his foot. According to his probate records, he died May 3, 1889. The children were "scattered" to different farm families who would take them, each separately. Pauline went into the Dunn County Poor House and Home for the Insane when she couldn't cope. Their possessions were sold at auction. Paulina remained in the hospital working as a seamstress until she died at age 82. Her children had her body returned to Medford and buried at Evergreen Cemetery. Her name was added to the tombstone of her son, John's, mother-in-law who had been Paulina's neighbor when she lived in Taylor County.
