Obituary
in Loyal Tribune, June 13, 1912.
Mrs. Peter Schoch is dead. That sounds very strange to our ears as we repeat it
o'er and o'er, and think. A short time ago she was young, fresh and full of
life; but now she is dead. She died on Monday morning, June 10th. , at eleven
o'clock with child birth. The deceased was born on the farm of her father, Carl
Smith, twenty nine years ago, where she resided up to the time she married Peter
Schoch eight years ago this fall.
In the death of Mrs. Schoch, this vicinity fully and keenly realizes their loss.
She was a true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would make a bright
chapter in any life. Beside a devoted husband, she leaves a daughter, relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. The last services will be held at the M. E. Church
on Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. Kildow officiating, and the remains
buried in the M. E. Cemetery.
Their daughter, Lilas, cared for family members and never married. In 1917,

go to his home to complete recovery from a severe heart attack he
suffered about three weeks ago.
Hospital attendants said he
had enjoyed a good dinner and was in an unusually jovial mood, waving a
cheery greeting to his nurse as she passed in the corridor a few minutes
before he was seized with a new attack of the malady which claimed his
life in a matter of minutes rather than hours. His death brought
wide-spread regret among a wide circle of neighbors and friends as well
as to his family, all of whom realized that he had been critically ill,
but who saw excellent promise for recovery in the rally he made after
the first attack of the disease. He had lived in the Groton community

An article in the Hartford Times Press, when she turned 100 yrs
Hartford Times, June
5, 1986. by Staff writer, Mary Gnabasik.
Still
going strong, Breit celebrates 100.
Most people don't like to be
reminded of their birthdays, especially if they are hitting one of those
traumatic milestones. Such was not the case last week at Hartford Memorial
Hospital as staff members joined together to wish hospital resident, Annie
Breit a happy birthday on one of her milestones, her 100th.
Although Annie's birthday was
Saturday, the staff held a special reception and party to celebrate the
event on Thursday at the hospital.
According to Annie, "I think everyone in Hartford was here. I didn't know it was
such a big thing. It's just a birthday. "But the staff made her birthday as
special to her as she's become to the staff over the years. Annie is in a unique
situation in the hospital. She's not a patient, she's a resident. Occupying a
room located within the administrative offices of the older section of the
hospital, Annie took up residence there in 1963, shortly after the death of her
husband, Nick. As Annie could not live alone, the nuns who operated the hospital
at that time, the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph offered her a home.
As part of the relocation, Annie donated her house, located on Cedar Street, to
the hospital. At that time, the nuns were housing 6 - 8 older people who were
unable to live alone but did not require nursing home care. The others have long
since passed away. Only Annie survives.
And surviving is putting it mildly. Feisty as the day is long. Annie lives the
theory that if one loves life, it will be there longer to enjoy. Aside from a
hearing impairment, Annie is in remarkable health considering her age has
graduated to the three digit column. According to the staff members and
Annie as well, the majority of exercise Annie gets is in the form of walking.
Everyone has heard the story in one form or another, how our ancestors walked
miles and miles to school, no matter what the weather. Well Annie tells the same
story, but gives the reason why. "I've been walking forever," she said Friday.
"I guess it started when I was little and my friend and I went sledding in
30 below-zero weather. My dad saw us doing that and told me that if I could do
that in the cold weather, I could walk to school too. It was 3 miles and I
walked it. I've been walking ever since." Annie was born and raised in Loyal,
Wis. and moved to Hartford in 1948.
Her often extended walking
expeditions are not always well received by Annie's Physician, Dr. James
Algiers. According to Annie, "He yells at me all the time that I shouldn't
walk here or I shouldn't walk there. But I don't care. When I know he's not
going to see me, I go walking anyway.
Annie has not only survived the hospital resident roster, she has survived
nearly her entire family. Until last Friday, Annie thought she was the sole
family survivor. "I had one nephew who was going to come here last year for my
birthday." she said. " And you know what......two days before he was supposed to
be here, they buried him. But I got a card today from a niece I never knew
about. I was really surprised.
Annie received her share of surprises along with her 100th. birthday
celebration, including a card from Ronald & Nancy Reagan wishing her a happy
birthday. " The last time I got a card from the White House it was from (John )
Kennedy," Annie said. "And now I got this one. I don't know why those other
guys didn't send me a card, but this guy and Kennedy did." Surrounded by boxes
filled with birthday presents, Annie said she couldn't begin to tell about all
"beautiful things" she received from the hospital staff members at her birthday
party. But a few items came to mind almost immediately. "I got three big
bottles of wine, Well, one big one and two other ones," she said. "And I'm no
drinker. If you find me stretched out in the hall, you'll know what
happened." Hopefully, everyone will be seeing Annie walking the halls of the
hospital for many years to come. After all, according to Annie, turning 100
years old is "Just another birthday. I try not to think about them."
Anna died April 5, 1988 in
Hartford, Wis., at 101 years of age.
