Magdalena Raehm
Magdalena was born in Germany about 1817. Her maiden name survives in one place, the 1940 Missouri death certificate of her son Henry, which writes it Raehm; the records of her own lifetime call her only Magdalena. She was at Zell, Ste. Genevieve County by the later 1840s, and the census of September 1850 shows her at thirty-three keeping the farm household with four small sons: Joseph, four, Francis, one, and the infant twins Charles and Henry. Charles died young. A daughter, Catherine, came after 1850, and her husband's will of 1864 names the four surviving children, Joseph, Francis, Henry and Catherine.
John died in November 1864, days after making a will that left her all his property, real and personal, for her lifetime. At the estate's final settlement the executor reported the whole of the personal property turned over to Mrs. Madalena Stockle under the will.
She then married Joseph Schilli. The marriage failed. By the summer of 1873 she had, in the words of a deed drawn that August, left the bed and board of the said Joseph Schilli over diverse unhappy disputes, difficulties and differences, and refused to return although earnestly requested. Schilli covenanted never to sue, molest, disturb or trouble any person harboring her, renounced every claim on her clothing, household goods and property, and assigned to Joseph Huck of Ste. Genevieve, as trustee, a note of $469.50 that her son Frank Stoeckle had signed in December 1871, in trust for her sole use and benefit and for her support, free from all control of her said husband. She agreed to take the provision. The deed was recorded August 18, 1873.
Her death, her burial and the record of the second marriage itself are not known. Whether the Joseph Schilli she married was the Joseph Schill who had been her first husband's executor, a kinsman of his, or another man of that populous county family is not known.
