Thirteen children were born to this marriage of whom only one has died so that the other twelve - 5 sons and 7 daughters are left to mourn her passing along with 6 grandchildren. On the morning of her death, 16 Sep., Mrs. Ploeckelmann felt perfectly well and no one could have guessed that she would not be living the following day, but when her husband got back from doing business in Manitowoc she complained of feeling unwell.
