My Town : Home Dollhouse Mod Unlimited
Jenette Bregantini
A Janesville legend died a few weeks ago. Ward Wendt was 84 years old. He was born in Janesville and died at a nursing home in nearby Waterville. Ward was a farmer, a florist and a railroad worker. He was an enthusiastic collector. His wife died in 1997, and his obituary revealed he was survived by nieces, great nieces and nephews and great-great nieces and nephews.
This story now frustrates my wife. On one trip she hatched a scheme involving us tearing up the vault and getting to the answer, though she left out tiny details like how we were supposed to get away with the crime. Or perhaps we have ourselves cryogenically frozen so we can return for the unveiling.
Growing up Ward worked with my mother Becky Miller as partners in the florists business doing flowers for weddings and whatever else. He was a very kind man and am greatful to have met the man. I remember helping out with flower arangements for multiple weddings. at such a young age even i could see the love he had for what he did which was very inspirational. He was always someone i looked up to growing up. As for the doll. i remember him taking me up to see it but dont remember anything he said about it if he even did which i doubt. my mother always told me that he told her the story of the doll in the window but she wouldnt tell me. As my mother battled cancer she told a story of the doll from her death bed not knowing if she was blowing smoke i hope to live to see that capsule opened to know. True or not what i know i will never tell. if it is true ur secrets safe Ward. if not thanks alot mom. lol God bless ur soul Ward you definitely deserve it. Say hi to mom for me if ya see her and if what she told was true. Chew her ass. lol
i too grew up in janesville in the 70s, there were rumors of ward burying a time capsule across the street in the park, with an explanation of the doll, dont know if thats anything more than rumor. ward was cool, there was a skatathon i was collecting donations for, my friends dared me to go there, i knocked and went in ,to some of the warmest company i had ever had in that town, only to emmerge 15 minutes later, alive, in one piece, to amazed eyes lurking on the corner of the street
My husband grew up in Sleepy Eye and I grew up in New Ulm and both of us remember that doll. We live in Missouri now and on a trip home we made a point of driving through Janesville so we could show our kids the doll in the window and share the stories we were told when we were young. Thanks for keeping the story alive.
dave pope bought the house he talked about from my parents! i lived the first 8 1/2 years of my life next to ward.he also did the flowers for our wedding. do i know the secret you ask? i have it in my own time capsule!
I remember being a student at Minnesota State University, Mankato (2001-2005), and traveling through Jaynesville on a few occasions with my friend John. He knew about the story and pointed out the house to me. It was creepy. Would like to know what the real story is.
I grew up in Mankato so whenever our girls swim team had a meet in Rochester or other towns south of us, we drove through Janesville. Of course, we all knew the story and screamed our heads off as our rickety school bus drove past. Nice job on this post. You stirred up a lot of nostalgia.
Reblogged this on We'll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down and commented:
For a girl who grew up reading about ghosts and serial killers, the Janesville doll-in-the-window house in Janesville was legendary.
Hey Shawn, Brandon and cheri i enjoyed sitting out front and watching cars drive by looking and pointing sometimes even stopping to take pictures Ward use to visit us why i was younger we asked him about the story he always told us its buried in the park to be opened in 2176
I remember Ward Wendt coming to our house he was friends with my grandmother. It was always a little freaky when he would come over because he would drive a hurse and as a child that scared me but he was always friendly and good natured he would work on crafts and flowers with my grandma it was a great friendship for my grandma honored to have known him.

The play concerns the fate of a married woman, who, at the time in Norway, lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world. Despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play, it was a great sensation at the time[2] and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theater to the world of newspapers and society.[3]
In 2006, the centennial of Ibsen's death, A Doll's House held the distinction of being the world's most-performed play that year.[4] UNESCO has inscribed Ibsen's autographed manuscripts of A Doll's House on the Memory of the World Register in 2001, in recognition of their historical value.[5]
The title of the play is most commonly translated as A Doll's House, though some scholars use A Doll House. John Simon says that A Doll's House is "the British term for what [Americans] call a 'dollhouse'".[6] Egil Trnqvist says of the alternative title: "Rather than being superior to the traditional rendering, it simply sounds more idiomatic to Americans."[7]
The play opens at Christmas time as Nora Helmer enters her home carrying many packages. Nora's husband, Torvald, is working in his study when she arrives. He playfully rebukes her for spending so much money on Christmas gifts, calling her his "little squirrel". He teases her about how, the previous year, she had spent weeks making gifts and ornaments by hand because money was scarce. This year, Torvald is due a promotion at the bank where he works, so Nora feels that they can let themselves go a little. The maid announces two visitors: Mrs. Kristine Linde, an old friend of Nora's, who has come seeking employment; and Dr. Rank, a close friend of the family, who is let into the study. Kristine has had a difficult few years, ever since her husband died leaving her with no money or children. Nora says that things have not been easy for them either: Torvald became sick, and they had to travel to Italy so he could recover. Kristine explains that, when her mother was ill, she had to take care of her brothers, but, now that they are grown, she feels her life is "unspeakably empty". Nora promises to talk to Torvald about finding her a job. Kristine gently tells Nora that she is like a child. Nora is offended, so she tells her that she got money from "some admirer" so they could travel to Italy to improve Torvald's health. She told Torvald that her father gave her the money, but, in fact, she illegally borrowed it without his knowledge (women were forbidden from conducting financial activities such as signing checks without a man's endorsement). Since then, she has been secretly working and saving up to pay off the loan.
Krogstad, a lower-level employee at Torvald's bank, arrives and goes into the study. Nora is clearly uneasy when she sees him. Dr. Rank leaves the study and mentions that he feels wretched, though like everyone he wants to go on living. In contrast to his physical illness, he says that the man in the study, Krogstad, is "morally diseased".
After the meeting with Krogstad, Torvald comes out of the study. Nora asks him if he can give Kristine a position at the bank and Torvald is very positive, saying that this is a fortunate moment, as a position has just become available. Torvald, Kristine, and Dr. Rank leave the house, leaving Nora alone. The nanny returns with the children, and Nora plays with them for a while until Krogstad creeps through the ajar door into the living room and surprises her. Krogstad tells Nora that Torvald intends to fire him from the bank and asks her to intercede with Torvald to allow him to keep his job. She refuses, and Krogstad blackmails her about the loan she took out for the trip to Italy; he knows that she obtained this loan by forging her father's signature after his death. Krogstad leaves, and, when Torvald returns, Nora tries to convince him not to fire Krogstad. Torvald refuses to hear her pleas, explaining that Krogstad is a liar and a hypocrite and that, years before, he had committed a crime: he forged other people's signatures. Torvald feels physically ill in the presence of a man "poisoning his own children with lies and dissimulation".
