POW/MIA Korean War, Oneida Co. LUNDBERG

powmiadna — 16 Sep 2008 5:06:07 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Oneida County, Wisconsin as his home of record.

Soldier: KENNETH LUNDBERG
Born: 1930
Date of loss: July 31, 1950 MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 36 families from Wisconsin that have not been located. There are one family from Oneida County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (78 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Fred Seidel 1883-1950 Wife Emma Neumann 1883-1951 Rhinelander, WI

PamelaJ_Hamilton — 30 Mar 2008 4:54:32 GMT

I am seeking descendants of Fred and Emma Neumann-Seidel. You may have information on Ludwig Lick B: 1877 or 1879 & Died Unknown. Ludwig was married to Emma's sister Ernestine Neumann who remained in Germany. He came alone to the USA in 1909 as Ludwig Lyk with Rhinelander, WI as his destination and his next of kin was his wife identified as Ernestine on the ships manifesto. By the 1910 census, he is in Rhinelander, WI living with Fred and Emma and is identified as Fred's brother-in-law. By 1918 Ludwig is in Appleton, WI and Fred is again identified as Ludwig's brother-in-law in Ludwig's WW 1 registration. In 1930 Ludwig is in Kaukauna, WI in that census. I have been unable to find Ludwig in the Outagamie County death records nor in the Wisconsin death records. I am researching Ludwig for his great grandsons from Germany who wish to know when & where he died and if there is a grave they can visit. Thank you in advance to helping me find 'this piece of the puzzle' or any of the Ludwig Lick puzzle pieces.

Martha Gauthier, birthplace Germany, died in March 1943 and is buried at St. Mary's in Rhinelander. She was the daughter of Carl and Wilhelmina Wentzel/Wenzel.

Fred was born on December 14, 1911, in Crandon, WI, the last surviving child of 8 born to the late John William and Florence J. (Wines) Taylor.

Growing up, he attended schools in Wabeno & Tipler, and spent his early adulthood in Rhinelander, which he fondly called home. On September 10, 1938 in Crystal Falls, Michigan, Fred married Dorothy M. Laedtke, daughter of Fred & Emma (Blaese) Laedtke of Cecil. After their marriage, the couple resided in Rhinelander and later moved to Appleton. In 1954, Fred & Dorothy purchased land in the Town of Hartland, where Fred built their homestead and they raised their 4 children. His wife preceded him in death on July 20, 1975. In 1992, Fred relocated to Gresham, where he spent his remaining years.

Fred worked many jobs over his lifetime – including utility tree trimming, highway construction, municipal & school construction as well as being a machinist. Fred’s interests included playing baseball for the city leagues, genealogy and keeping up on current events. He taught himself to play several musical instruments, including the banjo and Hawaiian steel guitar. If he could hear a song, he could play it on his guitar and had regular “jamming sessions” with his brother Gene or friend Ray. His favorite artists included Chet Atkins, Patsy Cline, Hank Snow, Jim Reeves, and Red Foley.

Survivors include: his children, Constance Thornley of Centennial, CO, June Collins of Centennial, CO, Anne (Robert) Taylor-Czaplewski of Tolland, CT, and John (Sarah) Taylor of Shawano; his 13 grandchildren, Michelle (Timothy) Jones of Lakeland, FL, Jacqueline Rodat of Salt Lake City, UT, Roxanne (Jack) Sivadon of Atlanta, GA, Jodi Rodat and Jonathan Rodat of Gainesville, FL, Andrew and Caresse Collins of Centennial, CO, Cobi (Edmund) Burke of Taylorsville, UT, Robert (Kim) Czaplewski of Milwaukee, Ryan Czaplewski of Rockville, CT, Jeremy, Ben and Kristin Taylor of Shawano; 5 great-grandchildren; 1 brother-in-law, Alfred Laedtke of Appleton; 1 sister-in-law, Delores Laedtke of Shawano; many nieces and nephews; and a good friend, Raymond Alsteen of Antigo.

He was preceded in death by: his parents; 6 brothers and sister-in-laws, Francis Taylor (1954), John (Agnes) Taylor (1940), Joseph (Viola) Taylor (1993), Peter Taylor (1922), Ralph (Kate) Taylor (2004) and Eugene Taylor (1998); a sister, Ellen (George) Richardson (1997); and one granddaughter, Stephanie Rodat (1987).

Family will receive friends on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 from 10:00am until 11:00am at the Swedberg Funeral Home in Shawano. Interment will be at the Forest Home Cemetery in Rhinelander.

Dad, your journey is just beginning and we’re sure you are having a great reunion with your family. Til we meet again…

Samuel Odell Civil War soldier living relatives

lschertzl — 14 Mar 2007 2:00:53 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.
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.

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

WWII sailor-Elmer Taylor Schumann-Tripoli, WI died 1942/43 USS Grunion

rrrstar — 28 Nov 2006 7:32:11 GMT

I'm looking for relations of Elmer Taylor Schumann. He was a sailor during WWII and listed his hometown as Tripoli, WI. He entered service from MO. He was aboard the sub the USS Grunion when she disappeared on her maiden voyage in the Aleutians. It was last heard from in July 1942. the families weren't notified for about 2 months (for my own ancestor on the sub it came out in the papers on Sept 30 and Oct 1, 1942). Apparently they weren't declared dead until Aug 2, 1943. 70 men died on the submarine and nothing was ever known of it's possible fate until recently. Now a search will soon be underway to find it by the sons of the commander. I heard from them 2 weeks ago and have joined the search underway to see if I can find others related to the sailors who died as I think it is exciting! I would also appreciate any leads on relatives of this man.

Looking for info on a Shernice Stuart Parker Towne. Her sister lived in Rhinelander until her death earlier this year, so I think that maybe Shernice did also, they are reported as being very close. I know where the sister is buried, but can not find an obit or any info or dates for Shernice. We knew she had been a widow of a Parker, but did not know that she had possibly remarried to a Unk Towne. She is supposed to have passed away some time in the last couple of months of this year. Can anyone check for her obit, or let me know where she is buried and if she is with this unk Towne, so that I can add his name to our family file. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

What I know: Samuel Wolfred MILLER, b. 22 Nov 1893/5 in Milwaukee
Mildred COULTER MILLER, b. 12 Mar 1897/1901in Iowa

They owned a movie theater/s in Rhinelander probably in the 1940's. They may have lived there for many years.

They may have moved to California or had ties to Chicago.

Since it is somewhat recent I'm having trouble finding resources on them. I am hoping to find death dates/places, information on children. Mildred had a falling-out with her family and little was known of her whereabouts afterward.

Thanks,
Shannon

This is a great summer project. I have done several in Ogle County, Illinois and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Please join us to make this project successful. Be sure to contact me if you choose to transcribe a cemetery so we don't duplicate our efforts.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Bowman's in Minocqua

Cneflybuy — 24 Jan 2006 9:29:53 GMT

I am looking for the Harry O. Bowman family that had a bar in Mincqua in the 40's or 50's. Harry was married twice (not sure which order) to a Kathryn and a Marletta (or Marlette). I know he had a son Todd and possibly a son Hal. One moved to Arizona. Harry and wife Marlette used to spend the winter in Florida. I know he went blind and then he committed suicide shortly after that. I do not know where he is buried though. He was a resident of Townsend, WI prior to Minocqua and had a brother, Lewis, and Albert (that was living in Cleveland when his brother Lewis died) and also a brother Jesse that died at 2 yrs. old. Harry also had 10 half brothers and sisters. The family came from Indiana to Chicago to Townsend, WI.

Does anyone know any information on this, or perhaps someone from the area remember the bar? My family can only remember that it was on a main street corner and they just called it Harry's Bar (whether that was the actual name or not, I do not know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Need advice regarding death record - Leonard Smith

bmj62787_1 — 19 Sep 2005 11:19:49 GMT

My great-uncle, Leonard Smith, died Feb 9, 1952 and was buried at Wood National Cemetery on Feb 13, 1952. He has been a very elusive member of my mother's family! I wrote to the State to request a death record, and although they found him in the indexes and searched both Milwaukee and Oneida County films, they were unable to locate a death record. Oneida County, as possibly his last residence, was unable to locate a record either. I have contacted the library at Rhinelander to see if there might be an obituary, but have not heard back yet. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what other avenues I might pursue? I have tried to get his records from the Veterans Administration, but without a social security number, they cannot help me. Would the VA medical center provide any information, or could there be a local funeral home which may have handled the burial? I am at a loss as to where to search next! Thank you for any advice or direction anyone could give me.
