Gillespie Family

oldreed — 27 Jun 2002 4:37:06 GMT

My great aunt, Elizabeth PALMER, married a GILLESPIE circa 1895 and moved (back?) to Antigo from Lee Co, KY. Her son 'BRACK'(nickname or shortened) was a lawman, maybe sheriff, ca. 1946-50. There was a son Jack, who would be 70-75 now, and a younger son whose name I can't recall. There may have been other children.

Julie SCHENKELBERG was doing research on the PALMER family in 1997, but her Email address is no longer valid.

Any information on any of these kinfolk would be appreciated.

Surname List

smunger169 — 10 May 2005 7:57:55 GMT

Lately I have noticed more activity on the Langlade County message board and decided I would like to put out the surnames I am researching. My Grandpa Walter GEHRKE married Maude Betsy CLOUGH in Beaver Dam. They lived in Summit Lake. Maude was widowed in 1916. Sometime in between 1918 and 1930 she remarried a man named KENNEDY. They had a son named Edward? called Mickey who died in his mid to late teens. Maude made her living as a cook and I believe she often cooked in logging camps. Does anybody have any information about these names.
Thank you so much

Charles(sr)and Anna Fallis Gehrke

smunger188 — 18 Jul 2004 11:17:20 GMT

I've been able to establish Charles (sr)and Anna (FALLIS)
GEHRKE in Langelade County in the 1900 census, but have no information about either of their parents. DOB for these two, respectively, 1852 and 1859. Charles was born in New York and he indicates his parents were born in Germany. Anna was born in Canada as were her parents. I believe this couple was married in and resided in Canada in the early years of their marriage. Does anybody know of any other GEHRKE Families in Langelade County, ie, brothers or sisters to Charles SR. I've hit the proverbial brick wall with my GEHKRES. Thank you.

The family of Byron Robinson and Clara Dupree

lindseythompson83 — 16 Jul 2008 8:51:19 GMT

I am looking for information on the family of Byron Robinson (1879) and Clara Dupree (1880). Both were born in Wisconsin. Byron's father was from Pennsylvania, and his mother was from either Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. Clara's parents were French Canadian immigrants.

The two married on August 14, 1899 in Wood County, so it is quite possible one or both are from there. They lived in Wood , Wood County in 1905. In 1910 they lived in Hiles, Forest County. In 1920 they lived in Elton, Langlade County, and in 1930 they lived in White Lake, Langlade County. I believe they both died in this area, but I don't know when. Clara, I know, passed away after 1960.

They had twelve children together:
Henry (1901), Margaret (1903), Frank (1904), Edward (1905), Mabel (1907), Viola (1908), Byron (1913), Leuretta (1915), Pearl (1917), Rosella or Rosetta (1919), Bernard (1923), and John (1926).

My Langlade County genealogy site

nickmgombash — 20 Dec 2007 2:25:59 GMT

Hi Everyone,

A lot of you might know about my website on rootsweb freepages, holding indexes to census records and links to census indexes.. along with historical information about Langlade County.

I've now added a new part to my website. It holds family histories of what information I could find on families from Langlade County.. most of them specifically from or connected to Polar Township. There are about 230 something pages of genealogical information that i've uploaded. The main point of this project was to show how all the families seem to connect in some way.. either through marriage or blood.

Take a look and let me know of any suggestions or any corrections to my information. I do also know that I may have used several people's information. If you come across something that was clearly yours, please simply email me and I would be more than happy to list you as the primary source.. hopefully with some additions and corrections too!

If there is a family that was from Polar that I do NOT have and connects with any of the other families, please let me know!

I hope everyone can benefit from this.

William Henry Wessa

europa1852 — 2 Aug 2007 5:25:56 GMT

I was doing research on an old photographic postcard and came up with this information on the photographer:

The photographer was William Henry WESSA, born April 28, 1887. Resided in Antigo (Langlade County), Wisconsin.

He served as a U. S. Army Sergeant in the 107th Trench Mortar Battery, 32nd Div. from April 21, 1917 to May 15, 1919. He served overseas from February 17, 1918 to April 30, 1919 and was in the Alsace defensive and the Chateau Thierry, Juvigny and Muese Argonne offensives.

He was the son of Phillip and Christine (Beemeck) WESSA of Antigo. They were married in Langlade County 20 June, 1885. He died December, 1974 in Antigo, Wisconsin.

After his service he was a photographer in the 1920's and 1930's. Many of his photos were of the local native American tribes. You can view some of his photos in the Wisconsin Historical Society photograph collection at:

http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/search.asp

The photo postcard I have which was taken by him ca 1920-1930 can be seen at:

http://webpages.charter.net/autumnrain/wessaphoto2.jpg

I am not researching this name but thought I'd put this info out there for those who are. If you want to copy the photo while it's up, feel free.

Information on this house?

Vaughn Nickel — 25 Jun 2004 10:11:07 GMT

I lived in a house at 311 6th Avenue from approximately 1950 to 1955. The house was a mansion in disrepair and eventually torn down. I've enclose a picture, hoping to stir anyone's memory of this building. I had heard that it once belonged to a local "Lumber Baron" but I don't know if that's true. There was also a rumor that it was "haunted" which it wasn't. It was a house filled with stained and cut glass windows, Tiffany style lamp shades, marble fireplaces, fantastic woodwork, two staircases and the list goes on and on. The house represented the quality of workmanship and materials available at the time of it's construction.

Charles Kegley & Hettie Conn, married 1902

Teri Pettit — 19 Jan 2002 5:06:59 GMT

Seeking info on when and where Charles Kegley and his wife Hettie Conn died, also 1910 and 1920 census readings if anyone has these censuses for a lookup. They were married on 7 Jan 1902 in Rowan Co, Ky, and moved to Langlade Co., Wisconsin before 1910. They reportedly both died in Wisconsin, dates unknown, but I'm not sure they were still living in Langlade Co. at the time of their deaths.

According to the marriage license application, Charles was 21 and Hettie was 18 at the time of their marriage. But according to some researchers, Charles was reportedly the son of Austin Kegley and Nancy Frye of Elliott Co., Ky, which if true would mean that he was really 31 at the time of his marriage, because the 1870 census of Elliott Co lists Charles the son of Austin as age 1 month.

My primary interest is in finding the full name of Hettie's parents, and I'm hoping that a death certificate or obituary would lead me to that info. Hettie's first husband was my GG Grandfather, Jessie Petitt. They were married when Hettie was 14 and Jessie was 16, and divorced about two years later. They had one daughter Isabelle, who was raised by Hettie's mother. My descent is from Jessie's second marriage to Emma Jane Clark, so this Kegley/Conn family is not related to me by blood, but I would like to know more about my GG Grandfather's first wife.

I have a web site of linked family group sheets, here is the page for Charles Kegley & Hettie Conn:

Samuel ODELL, Civil War soldier living relatives

lschertzl — 15 Mar 2007 9:10:06 GMT

The Eagle River Genealogical Society has been asked by the local veterans office to try and locate living relatives of a Samuel Odell. Company E 87th New York infantry Army.
He is buried in the Eagle River, Vilas Co.Wi.Cemetery next to his wife. Mrs. Odell. (No first name)
The record the veterans office has was recorded August 15, 1936. This is not necessarily a death date. The cemetery records do not indicate when he was buried.
They need a relative to request a military marker for his grave.
So far we have had no success.

Have checked census.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than posting on the Odell board
and Eagle River, Wisconsin and surrounding counties boards?

My great Grandparents owned a hotel in Pratt Juction Wisconsin back in 1880's and 1890's. The hotel was called the Rice Hotel. The town is now just memory. I do own the property where the hotel once stood. I am looking for any and all information on Pratt Junction. Photos are one thing I cannot seem to find besides one photo of the hotel my great grandparents owned at the time. If you have any photos or stories of Pratt Junction, please get in touch with me a Ricer@putzam.com. On a side note, my great aunt wrote a book on Pelican Lake Wisconsin which also talks about Pratt Junction. if anyone is interested, I can give all the information from the book along with scanning the pictures and sending them to you.

Thanks,
Rick

Go to http://rmgis.ruekert-mielke.com/Antigo/Antigo.asp

Click on the "Search By" drop down box, and scroll to the last option of "Cemetery Records". To the left will be two boxes "Occupant" or "Owner" - You can put in either the plot owner name, OR the name you are searching for. I am not positive if this covers all of the cemeteries in Langlade Co. or just a few.

Hope this helps someone! Happy searching!

Sipley Weeks (Abt. 1848 - Aft. 1910) at Langlade

Paul E. Newell — 3 Jun 2005 11:07:28 GMT

I’m searching for information about Sipley Weeks, born circa 1848 at Pennsylvania, married Martha (surname unknown, maybe SHALER) circa 1872, and died after 1909.

Sipley Weeks was last of Langlade Co., Wisconsin where he was enumerated in the 1910 census, together with Jessie, Ellen, and Emma Weeks.

Sipley Weeks was the son of William Martin Weeks and Sally MILLER. Sipley may have been born in Bradford or Sullivan counties of Pennsylvania. Sipley had a sister named Althea born circa 1851 at Pennsylvania.

Sipley Weeks was enumerated in the 1880 census of Fond Du Lac Co., Wisconsin, as follows:
Septer WEEKS Self M Male W 31 PA Farmer PA PA
Martha WEEKS Wife M Female W 28 WI Keeping House NY NY
William WEEKS Son S Male W 6 WI PA WI
Lena GIEBER Other S Female W 22 WI PRUS PRUS

I’d like to discover the place(s) of death and burial of Sipley Weeks and his wife, Martha.

Any information about these Weeks persons would be much appreciated.

Ella (Bellamy) SHORT

Tammie — 6 Apr 2006 8:09:43 GMT

I have been trying to locate a place of burial and date of death for Ella SHORT. She has two sisters that are buried in the Elcho cemetery so I'm wondering if she may be buried there also. Her sisters are Lula Ratliff and Govie Held. Her husband's name was Melvin Short. I'm guessing that Ella was born Abt. 1915 based on her sisters ages. Any help would be appreciated!

Looking for info on Fred Luebke

jlmerrill73 — 10 Oct 2006 5:41:35 GMT

He may have also been called Adolf. He came to Antigo from Germany around 1892. He was a cigar maker. His daughter, Louise, married Bert O. Merrill who farmed or did logging around Antigo at the time. Bert was my great grandfather. I'm working on my family tree. I've come to a dead end on this branch. Anything you could tell me about Fred Luebke or Bert O. Merrill would be greatly appreciated!
