They were found dead between 4 and 5 o'clock by their son-in-law, Sylvester Dietz, who lives two miles north of the city, and who went to the house with some provisions. The old gentleman was sitting in a chair near the stove and his wife was lying near. The stovepipe was on the floor, and from all appearances it would seem that Whitman had taken it down to clean it, and becoming fatigued, had sat down in the chair, where he had been overcome. The couple were about 70 and 73 years of age, the husband being the older. They lived alone in a little cottage in the north part of town. At an inquest it was decided that death was caused by coal gas. Note: The newspaper spelled their names wrong, its Wittmann, not Whitman. Does anybody know if Rosalias last name was spelled Riedel or Reidel. All sources vary but I have no confirmative resource such as a wedding record etc. I have ordered her death certificate.

AND MRS. BERNARDT "BARNEY" WITTMAN Bernardt Wittman and the former Elizabeth Becker were married in Hankinson, January 21, 1896. They lived there until 1900 and then came to settle 14 miles northeast of Kenmare. In 1907 they moved to Minnesota and farmed there for some time, returning to North Dakota and settling in Norma where they operated a cafe for some time. They continued living on their original farm, until 1928 when they had a sale. They moved to Saskatchewan, Canada, but after living there for 5 years and not wishing to become citizens of Canada, they packed their belongings in their Maxwell car; and with their two youngest chldren (Mildred and Frank) they moved Anacortes, Wash. to reside (1933). He was employed as a longshoresman until he retired. They were both active members in the St. Mary's parish organizations in Anacortes. Prior to that time they belonged to the St. Agnes parish in Kenmare during the years they farmed in this area, until 1928. Mrs. Wittman was a charter member of St. Agnes Altar Society. Their children are: Mrs. (Rosella) McGillvary, Eureka, Calif.; Mrs. (Olivia) T.A. Pumarlo, Anacortes, Wash.; Jack; Frank; Mrs. (Henrietta) Pierce, Anacortes, Wash.; Mildred, Mt. Vernon, Wash.; Lewis B., Norma, married Lena Christianson. He died in 1972 at age 86 years. Qyoting Mrs. Wittman: "Two things I remember about Kenmare were hitching a team of horses to the buggy every Sunday to drive to church in Kenmare at St. Agnes.....The second was the time Rosella and her cousin Lola (Aurens) Donahue of Flaxton decided to walk from Bowbells to the Wittman farm...12 miles distance...But did it only once!" The Wittmans observed their Diamond Jubilee on January 22, 1956 at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, the T.A. Pumarlos. NOTE: The article was typed exactly the way it was written. The typos, etc are not my own. Renville County History - 1901-1976 - Page 704 ELIZABETH AND BERNARD WITTMAN Bernard (Barney) Wittman and Elizabeth Becker were married at Hankinson, North Dakota, in 1896. He was a grain buyer while they were there. In 1900 he and some friends of Mons Brekhus decided to come to this part of the state. They came by wagon, bringing a cow and other household items. Mrs. Wittman and two or three youngsters came by train later. In 1907 they went to Watkins, Minnesota, to care for their elderly parents. They rented their farm to the Mankie boys and some time later they returned and managed a hotel and cafe in Norma for a few years. In 1912, they moved back to their farm and lived there until Louie took over their farm in 1928. They stayed there five years; from there they went to Anacortes, Washington, where they resided until their deaths. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wittman, of whom six survive. Louie passed away in 1973, and Sylvia when she was three years of age. Jack, Olivia, Henrietta and Frank live at Anacortes, Washington. Mildred lives at Bellingham, Washington, and Rosella at Eureka, California. Caroline W. Wittman This page is forever under construction.

The Wittmann family will rejoice the day that this link is made. Several prayers & thoughts have been expressed through the years. William's wife appears to have several different names: Josephine, Margaret, & Barbara. Her name differs on her second marriage certificate, her first husband's obituary as printed in the paper, and on her daughter's death certificate. Based on 1910 Census information, the best conclusion is that her name is Barbara Tix. Throughout the years, our family has only known her by the nickname of Libbie/Libby. A marriage certificate was received from Richland County, North Dakota, that states that a Mrs. Josephine Wittmann, age 26, married John Peter Ehr, age 29, on October 2, 1913. John was from Hankinson, North Dakota. The application for marriage license asks if either of the parties were ever married. The following comment is noted: "Yes - Mrs. Josephine Wittmann formerly married - husband dead." Witnesses to this marriage where Nicholas Goche & Elizabeth Tix. William's newspaper obituary states that he married Margaret Tix. It is believed that the newspaper was most likely in error in regards to her name. William and his wife, Barbara had a daughter named Wilhelmina who died as a young baby of gastrointestinal problems. Wilhelmina's middle name was Josephine. Wilhelmina's death certificate has the mother listed as Barbara Tix. The birthplace of Barbara is listed as Bancroft, Iowa. The death certificate was signed by Mrs. William B. Wittman. Again, the question remains....Does anybody know what happened to William's widow Barbara Tix and their children, Irene and Dorothy??????
