I am in search of Otto Theodore Perske who lived in Stanton Nebraska. He apparently died there in Feb of 1972. I don't have the name of his wife, but she apparently died on August 5 1969. I'd like to know more about these people, if they had children, where they are buried their birthdates, obits or whatever can be found on them. If someone would direct me to where i can search i'd be ever so greatful.
Thanks

Hello~~I am not related to this family. But may be able to help as we rented a home that they owned at one time. They did have children, Betty, Harlan and Nathan. Harlan and Nathan are now deceased. But Betty Bohac is living in Norfolk, NE.

Otto's wife's name was Margaret(last name unknown)

re Otto Perske

Your last respondent was partially correct. Otto did have three children however Nathan and Betty(Bohac)were from his first marriage to Clara Glaser, Harlan is his son from his second marriage after Clara's death. Harlan's mother was Margaret Harms. Harlan was my father, both him and Nathan are deceased. Otto was the son of Gustav and Pauline(Klatt) they had eight children. Sons Otto, Adolph, Paul and daughters Mina, Elsa, Helene, Leona, and Martha. Hope this clarifies things

Thanks, I did have that Otto was married to Clara Glaser, but didn't know where the kids belonged. Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you both...gee it's been so long since I've researched my Perske line...might take me some time to ruffle through things, hope you will both be around at a later time, for any questions i might have.
so far this is what I've collected anything different please let me know...again thanks a bunch...SHARON

Thanks for the additional information.

There was another daughter, Mina E. Perske, born 7-12-1893, Stanton Co., NE. She married a ?? James. She died in Orange Co., CA in 5-6-1896.

Ah Thanks again...I had her written in my notes, but apparently she wasn't listed under the children. I probably wasn't sure who she belonged to. I had this for her...

I am thinking I may have things messed up...the dates are not matching on some of the children for some of them are born within a couple years of Otto according to my notes, haha, no wonder I put this one aside.

I must just have everyone thrown in there and haven't gotten them all sorted as who belongs to who yet. Guess Gustave's family was as bout hard to sort as his sister, Matilda's haha.

Thanks!
