My great grandfather, Wendelin Zohner, served his carpenter’s apprenticeship in Austria and the Moravia area. Wendelin Zohner became a skilled cabinet and coffin maker. I opened his toolboxes last weekend for the first time in many years and expected to find only tools, but I found so much more. There were hidden stories inside.Wendelin and Julianna Zohner, his pregnant wife, left for America in June of 1892 because the opportunities were more promising and taxes were too high with the existing corrupt government.After arriving in New York, Wendelin and Juliana traveled to Nebraska. They settled initially in the Bellwood area
