Second wife - mainly focused on home and family

Antoinette or ‘Tonie’ as she was known was Joseph’s second wife and a cousin of Julia. What is known about Tonie focuses on her home and family. She certainly produced some remarkable sons. Snippets of information about her do exist in archival papers such as her liking for music and observations that lead us to believe that life with Joseph could be a little trying at times – such as his heading to the library in the middle of a meal to find a book. Joseph and Tonie were married for 57 years.
