Johanna Campradt was the wife of Franz Joseph Lechner, and daughter of Tonnies Campradt and Emma Emilia Peterson. It was said by one genealogist that she was born Danish, but at age 6 she became German due to the wars that were fought in the Schleswig-Holstein region and changing borders.
She came to the United States aboard the steamship Harmmonia, and became a United States citizen. Johanna settled in San Francisco, California, where she lodged with the Karner family and met her husband Joseph Lechner. Although she was baptized in Denmark in the Lutheran faith, Johanna and Joseph were married at St. Boniface Catholic Church on Golden Gate Ave. in San Francisco. She had six children, three boys and three girls, but one boy and one girl died in early childhood due to illnesses.
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the subsequent fires destroyed their residence and the winery where Joseph worked. The winery operation was moved to Napa, California and the family followed. Johanna and Joseph built a house on Evans Avenue in the Alta Heights area of Napa where the family lived. She passed away at age 52.
