About the Author
Sally Cissna was born in Woodstock, Illinois, but it wasn't until she began researching her roots that she came to understand how strongly she felt about the city and her connections to it. Her grandparents, John and Ida Wienke, left an imprint on Woodstock that Ms. Cissna has discovered through research into The Woodstock Sentinel, old family letters, and stories from her childhood.
Sally Cissna was born in Woodstock, Illinois, but it wasn't until she began researching her roots that she came to understand how strongly she felt about the city and her connections to it. Her grandparents, John and Ida Wienke, left an imprint on Woodstock that Ms. Cissna has discovered through research into The Woodstock Sentinel, old family letters, and stories from her childhood.
Luckily, Sally has been the family packrat and so was able to dive into a treasure trove of letters and other documents boxed up in anticipation of retirement's leisure. A lover of research and libraries, Sally has used the Woodstock library collections along with online sources and her own stockpile to piece together the story as the Wienkes participate in growing of the village of Woodstock.
