There were family death notices, obit. w/photo and Danksagung published in Milwaukee's German newspapers for a Michael Schnabl and possibly others from that family group.
Notices like these are now indexed in the collection: "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items", covering 1844-1950. Like many valuable research resources, the index is not online.
