READER/REEDER

kriwillias — 22 Sep 2006 3:15:06 GMT

Hello,
I am researching the REEDER/READER family of Harrison Township and was wondering if someone could do a cemetery lookup for me. I am searching for the gravestones of Hannah REEDER or READER who died sometime between 1870 and 1875 and her husband James REEDER/READER who died after 1880. James remarried and his second wife was named Anne or Anna. We found other family members in the Woodville cemetery but did not look for Hannah at the time because we did not know her last name. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Krista

John Ryan, A. O'Donnell and Kaul

joycereader — 9 Jul 2007 6:35:50 GMT

Hello all -- I am researching the Kampfers, Satzers and Weningers. It turns out that some of the farm land owned by these families (outside of Chilton) was previously owned in the 1800s by John Ryan, A. O'Donnell and someone named Kaul. I haven't found any reference to them in ancestry or this database. Does anyone know of these families? I'm suspecting they may have been early settlers who may have moved west after the wheat market crashed. Or something like that. We do have some old tools from one of the farms that may have been used by these early folks. So I'm curious about them. Anyone know anything?

Old churches from 1840s

copet1 — 26 Jul 2006 1:27:01 GMT

Does anyone know anything about the old Freewill Baptist Church in Brothertown? It apparently was incorporated in 1867, but I've seen references of a Rev. George Town going there from Oakfield in 1847.

I am guessing that there was no permanent structure, but rather that the group shared the Brothertown Methodist Episcopal Church that was on Hwy 151 and County Trunk H, and demolished in 1966.

Is anyone familiar with this? Thanks!!

Hello,

my great-grandfather, James Hoskins Kendall moved from Dodgeville, WI to Chilton WI approximately the end of 1936 or beginning of 1937 (info located through Dodgeville Chronicle, March 4, 1937. This is a family branch torn apart by divorce, etc, and no one ever heard of him again. There was no mention of him in any of his family\'s obits through the mid 1950\'s.

i am trying to determine when and where he died if possible...or any trace of him after 1937.... did he stay in Chilton, and die there? Would there be any particular database to check locally? He was Iowa county (WI) treasurer from 1915-1920.

Iany hints or help would be appreciated.....

My grandfather MICHAEL FRIEDEL [b.1873 Plan Bohemia d.1939 Racine WI] immigrated from Bohemia, arrived NYC 04/28/1893 on ship "Aller" and settled in JERICHO [CALUMET County] WI.

From Friedel Family History..."Our Friedel Grandparents lived [in the village] around the corner from the community center [which consisted of the proverbial tavern, pool room, lunch counter, and a big dance hall] on the other side of the village church and school. On the opposite side of the house, a short walk led to the village cemetery."
Sometime in 1923-24..."there was an awful Jericho village fire during the cold winter months and our Grandparents Friedel lost their home [it burned to the ground], Uncle Joe lost his barn and the village church was destroyed."

Augusta T. ECK LOOSE

george_porterfield — 15 Nov 2005 1:21:47 GMT

I am searching for infomation about the death of Augusta T. ECK LOOSE. She supposedly died of "black diptheria." I believe she died sometime between 1895 and 1900 while the family was still in Calumet County, although this may have occured after the family moved to Marinette.

Augusta was married to Fred Loose/Lohse in 1887 and they had three children (1890 - 1894). By the time of the 1900 census in Marinette, Fred is listed as a widower.

Any info about when she died and where she is buried would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
George

Schmitz-Wilgen marriage lookup Please

DeWanna62 — 22 Oct 2005 2:07:02 GMT

I am trying to confirm my great-grandmother’s maiden name, Welgin.

Conelius and Justina Schmitz are listed in the 1910 census for Chilton Calumet Co WI. The cemetery records for their daughter Mary in LaGrande Oregon list her mother as Justina Wilgen.

Could someone do a marriage lookup for me? The 1910 census say they were married 30 years at that time so that would make the year somewhere around 1880.

Any information that you have that might help is appreciated.

Any information that you have that might help is appriciated.

Gavins in Hilbert and surrounding

Trying to locate any information on Martin Morris Gavin (born Ireland 1863), married to Anna Runte (born 1867), residents of Hilbert in the late 1880's thru the 1910's.

They had Three Children we know of, Theodore Matrin Gavin, Francis "Fritz" Gavin(Green Bay Packers 1919-21,23), and Madeleine(sp?) Gavin.

Martin Morris died in 1904 in Lena Wisconsin whe a faulty switch derailed the locomotive he was driving. Burried in Hilbert, WI on Dec 23, 1904 according to Kaunuku Times.

We have been unable to find a match for Martin Morris in Federal Census or in Ship Passanger Lists.

Martin immigrated to the US with his Father and possibly other unknown family members.

Trying to locate anyone that might know or be able to locate who Martin Morris's Father and Mother were, and if he had any siblins also.

She married John Puser spelled Buser in the Manitowoc County Marriage index. Her children were John M.,Lena, Michael, Theresa, Joseph, Frank, and Wilhelm. There is a listing in the birth records for Franz Puser b. 12 Apr. 1896 reel # 0026 000920 and Magdalen Puser b.April 13, 1896 reel 0026 000921.

VirginiaShaw39 — 18 Jul 2005 4:12:11 GMT

Sheboygan Press, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, 21 June 1937:
"New Holstein - The first white child born in New Holstein, Mrs. Claus D. Jens, aged 85, passed away Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at her home after an illness of two weeks' duration.
She was born January 12, 1852, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Griem, pioneer settlers of this city and her life was typical of the hardship through which those settlers came. Her father was one of eight German students who came to the village in 1948 and decided to settle there because the stream nearby offered them a water supply. Mr. Griem returned to Germany in 1850 and arrived in New Holstein again in 1851 with his bride.
Mrs. Jens and her husband were married in the garden of the Griem homestead by Pastor Pinkert of the Reformed church on 2 June 1870. Mr. Jens was a Civil war veteran and passed away May 20, 1919. Survivors of Mrs. Jens include Mrs. Fannie K. Smith of Chicago, Max Jens of New Holstein, Mrs. Alfred Hilton of Minneapolis, Thomas J. Jens of Fremont, Neb., Albert A. Jens of St. Paul, Minn., Roland Jens of Moline, Ill., and Miss Ella Jens at home. Other survivors are twelve grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and four brothers, James Griem of Dousman, William Griem of Chilton, Ernst Griem of Milwaukee, and John Griem of New Holstein."

Looking for information on Balthasar and Mary Elias. I see that she and the children lived in Charlestown for the 1880 census and in 1870 lived in Manitowac county and are ennumerated there. I am -guessing- that Balthasar died sometime between 1870 and 1880 as he is not listed on the 1880 census. Trying to make a connection between Balthasar and Nicklaus Elias who lived in Manitowac county at the same time. Any help is appreciated.

I am looking for information on my Great Uncle George H.Schroeder, and Great Aunt Mina Schroeder. They were the children of Karsten Nicholaus Schroeder. They were born in the early 1860s in New Holstein. George Married Bertha A. C. Timm. In a letter to my Aunt from my Great Grandfather Joseph Holdenried, he writes that Bertha committed suicide by drowning in the lake. I would like verification. Thanks, Hal Wisdom.

Hi

I am looking for information on Anna Sircher and her parents. Anna was born in Stantonville, Calumet Co in 1860. Her parents were Dorothy and either Frederick or John Sircher.

She married David Graf in 1878. They had 8 children.

I think her parents were from Switzerland. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanx
