Notes for BERTHA LOUISE SASSMAN:
"Bert" was a fine woman and great cook.  She had to be to put up with Joe.  You could find her in the kitchen always cooking up some delicious treats; pies, cakes, kolatchies, roleekies.

She had been in a terrible auto accident in Suring.  Her leg had been crushed and she had to walk with a brace on her leg and a cane.  But it didn't slow her down.

She was one of the biggest Green Bay Packer fans.  On Sunday she was always in front of the TV rooting for her team.  And if things weren't going well, that cane got a good workout on her hassock.

Notes for JOSEPH FORAL:
Joseph was a man of many occupations.  He was a cheesemaker, a politician and a lawman.  He served as a federal marshall on the Menomonee Indian Reservation and Oconto County Sheriff both as a Democrate and a Republican candidate.  He grew up in the Town of Spruce.  He lived in the Breed Cheese Factory and after retiring from the Sheriffs Department lived in Mountain, Town of Armstrong.

He loved to fish.  Especially trout fishing in the smaller streams around Mountain.  He also loved to ice fish in the winter time.  He loved the outdoors.  He picked berries for his wifes pies.  He hunted.

According to the 1920 census, the family lived in the Township of Little River, Oconto County, WI
