About Johanna Wessolowsky

"United States Germans to America Index, 1850-1897," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KD7D-43M : accessed 20 March 2016), Johanna Peyser, 19 Oct 1860; citing Germans to America Passenger Data file, 1850-1897, Ship Gutenberg, departed from Hamburg, arrived in New York, New York, New York, United States, NAID identifier 1746067, National Archives at College Park, Maryland. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=74256850 Albany Weekly Herald 16 Feb 1901 Mrs. Johannah Wessolowsky, wife of Charles Wessolowsky died at her house on Pine Street near Monroe, at 1:15 this afternoon. Death was due to Bright's Disease from which Mrs. Wessolowsky has long been a sufferer. Up to within the last minutes of the time of her taking away, however, there was nothing in her condition calculated to cause immediate uneasiness and even this morning she was quite cheerful as was her wont. Early this afternoon she first complained of being ill, and Dr. H. Robinson the family physician was summoned. He found, on his arrival, that his patient was at death's door, her heart suddenly weakened, and at the hour named she passed away without having rallied.

Mrs. Wessolowsky was 63 years of age and was a native of Posen, Prussia. Prior to her marriage to Mr. Charles Wessolowsky, which took place at Riddlesville, GA about 43 years ago, she was still Miss Johanna Peyser. For many years, she and her husband made their home in Albany, where Mrs. Wessolowsky was always a favorite with the old and young in the large acquaintanceship. Hers was a beautiful life, and she will be sadly missed by those to whom she had ever proved inspiration for good. She is survived, besides her husband, by three children; Mr. Morris Wessolowsky, Mrs. L. S. Plonsky, and Mrs. Jake Menko, all of this city. Messrs. A. C. and L.C. Plonsky and Mrs. S. B. Brown are nephews and niece of the deceased. All of these have the sympathy of the people of Albany in their bereavement. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the residence and the interment will be in the Jewish Section at Oakview Cemetery.
