Ender, Anna (? - 12 January 1980)

The wife of a former publisher of a Neillsville newspaper passed away, January 12, in her Durand home at the age of 87. Funeral services for Anna Ender were held Thursday, January 17, from St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Durand. The Rhiel Funeral Home in Durand was in charge of arrangements.

Anna, along with her husband, August, published The Neillsville Press, located on the north edge of the downtown area, for a period in the late 1930’s. The couple moved to Durand where they began publishing the Durand Courier-Wedge. Which is now operated by a son, William. (The Neillsville Press was a direct forerunner of The Clark County Press. The Enders sols the publication to Wells F. Harvey in 1938 and since that time, the Neillsville newspaper has changed ownership two more times although connected to the Harvey family.)

Anna Brunner was born in Durand and married August Ender there. Besides operating a newspaper in Neillsville, they were also connected with publishing in Chippewa Falls, Rice Lake and Durand.

Survivors include three sons, Carl and William, both of Durand, and Donald of Madison, a sister, Rose Bardill, La Crosse, and a grandson. Her husband passed away in 1959.
