Re: Langner / Sine

LinSmith430 — 2012-03-14 17:59:04Z

How exciting for me. You probably didn't know me - Rose left me and my sister when I was 2 years old. I know she went to prison for abandonment - it was all in my adoption records. I went to a family in Sheboygan, Wi and my sister was adopted by a family right there in Eagle River. I would LOVE to get a picture of my mother if you have one or know someone who does. And I would like to contact the living relatives even if it is through you. My phone number is 541-480-2880 and I would love to talk with you. I am meeting my sister for the first time at the end of this month or early April. Thank you so much for responding. My personal email is dachsi2@gmail.com and I would love to hear more from you! Have a blessed day!

John Kirby, 50, Montreal (Iron County) Wisc., died Monday in Sacred Heart hospital, Tomahawk, of injuries suffered Saturday afternoon when the car in which he was riding plowed into a bridge abutment on Highway 47 about one quarter of a mile south of Lac du Flambeau. Three others in the car were taken to Ironwood, Mich., for treatment but only one, Steven Rodman, also of Montreal, required hospitalization. He is a patient in Grand View hospital in the Michigan city. Except that the driver was a man named Mead the names of the other injured were not obtained at the time of the accident.

In a second accident, Sunday afternoon on Highway 51, three miles north of Woodruff, two young persons were seriously injured in a collision. Taken to Tomahawk for hospital treatment were Al Gibbs, Boulder Junction, driver of one car, who suffered a fractured pelvis, and Marie Kurb, Lac du Flambeau, a passenger in Gibbs car who suffered severe cuts and bruises about the legs and body.

According to a report by Traffic Officer Everett Wilson, Gibbs was going north on Highway 51 and started to make a U-turn at a road intersection. The car following him was unable to stop and smashed into the left side of the Gibbs automobile. The other vehicle was driven by John T. Padjen, Mellen, who escaped with bruises.

In another Saturday accident six persons from Lac du Flambeau were treated for injuries in Rhinelander after their car ran off Highway 45-47 about one mile north of Pelican lake. The mishap happened at night. Hospitalized at Rhinelander were Mrs. Elizabeth Polar, 34; her daughter, Dorothy 19; Donovan Diver, 19; and Laura Jack, 17. Treated and released were the driver, Raymond Jackson, 20; and the owner of the car, Jack Sharlow, 40. All were cut and bruised and Diver suffere a wrist fracture.

Background:
James Colby was born on April 13, 1883 in Big Rapids, Michigan son of James Metcalf Sr. and Anna (Marta) Colby. His family relocated to Wausau in 1896 when he attended local schools and graduated from the Senior High School in 1904. He then taught school in the Town of Stettin and also in the Plover-Easton area. He turned a high school hobby into a lifetime profession.

Help with Langner relatives

LinSmith430 — 2011-10-09 00:56:55Z

Please help me with any relatives of William C. Langner & Minnie Beraenke both born in Price Co., WI. I believe they lived in Eagle River, WI for many years. My mother was their daughter Rosella, born in 1919. All 3 are buried in ER Cemetery. There were 9 living children in 1950 - most stayed in ER. I would like pictures if possible or any info available (good or bad). I was adopted when I was 2-1/2 to another family and so was my sister. I just recently found her. THANK YOU!

Re: Obituary Request

LinSmith430 — 2011-10-01 23:45:22Z

Many times the cemetery will have info on this. They often have a form with complete info from which they provide the obit. Also try Vilas County News Review 715-479-4421

I would be happy to provide you with that information. Perhaps it would be easier to communicate by email or phone. I didn't receive your previous message. You may call or email me at 920-698-6227 or aodekirk@gmail.com

I don't know if you received my last message as I needed to
be on this list. I am interested in knowing about your father Hans, his birthdate, and where he lives or if he is
still alive. I have tried to search to further my info for
Rose's family branch. I have done extensive Wulf research
of which goes down to the 2 Gudegast wives whose grandmother
was a Wulf who was a sister to my grt. grandfather Nicolaus
Wulf. If you receive this you can write back with info.
I thank you for your reply before and I did write back but
it went to the transfer list and not Rootsweb. I did not know that at the time. Jan

Re: What newspaper has Eagle River obits?

My error...the 2nd question is in error as I was looking at the wrong cemetery.

Re: What newspaper has Eagle River obits?

JAGroh — 2011-08-14 19:55:47Z

Both of the obits that you seek were published in the Rhinelander Daily News; the index is online at http://wigenweb.org/oneida/robitindex.html and directions on how to order the obit. Of course you can look it up on microfilm at the WHS in Madison. These obits may also be in the Vilas County News-Review.

Sorry but I can't answer your second question; most photos are put online by volunteers and each have their own preferences or criteria. Where did you see these photos published?

good luck with your research

What newspaper has Eagle River obits?

Wengert — 2011-08-14 16:26:37Z

I have two great uncles that died in Eagle River (or at least that is where they lived). I am in Madison, so I may be able to look at the WI State Historical Soc for their obit as the SHS has a great microfilm collection. What newspaper should I look in?

They are buried in Eagle River Cem. Death dates were Nov 20, 1957 for William Besch and December 16, 1968 for Arthur Besch.

Second question: I noted that someone has taken photos of stones in this cem. and published them. Does the lack of a photo of either of these two mean that they do not have a notable stone?

Thanks.

Re: Adam Kielbasa

saranani — 2011-05-08 00:10:04Z

I went to the court house this past week and found nothing under the KIELBASA surname. I even looked in land records.

If you are interested, I can do an obit lookup but, it will cost $2.00 every book I have to look through and it will cost $15.00 for a picture of the obit, in the event I find one. If this is what you would like me to do, you can reach me at sar5r@yahoo.com.

Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

Re: Adam Kielbasa

Your...Adam Kielbasa who Died October 24, 1980 in Conover does not appear in the online tombstone transcripts of Hildegarde Cemetery in Conover http://wigenweb.org/vilas/cem/hildegard.html

Nor does he appear in the book "Cemeteries of Vilas County transcrived in 1995/1996 by Rosamond Vannoy.

This is probably not what you want to hear but you may need to search for an obit or get the death certificate to determine where he is interned.

You could try contacting the Funeral Homes in the area.

wishing you success

Fannie Monen or Immonen or Krumonen

kjonell — 2011-02-10 17:31:04Z

I am hoping someone on here can help me with information about Fannie. In the 1930 census she is listed as a boarder for Fred and Josefina Kivisto of Eagle River, WI. In the 1920 census home is listed as Sugar Camp, Oneida, WI with a father of Peter Monen. In the household also lists Lily, Oral and John Monen.
Yesterday in an old photo album of a relative a picute was found of Aunt Fina and adopted daughter..no name though of daughter. In Fred and Josefina's obit they list a daughter as Charlotte Kivisto. We are trying to figure out if this could be the same girl.
If you can help me can you please contact me at k.jonell@yahoo.com

Re: GUDEGASTS OF EAGLE RIVER

aodekirk1 — 2011-02-05 04:33:32Z

I believe the woman you were in contact with was Rose Martens, my paternal grandmother, she was the daughter of John and Henriette Gudegast of Eagle River, WI. Rose married John Martens and they had two sons, John and Hans, Hans is my father. I'm not sure what additional information you are looking for but I would be happy to help if I can. I have a Vilas County history book that has a short article about John Gudegast and his family. I can dig it out if you are interest in more information. My father might also be able to provide some information.

My great grandfather’s (Aaron Kivisto of Iron River, WI) brother and his wife are buried in Eagle River, WI. Their names are John Fredrick Kivisto and Josefina Kivisto both died in 1961. John died in a car accident…. He was walking along side the road when he was hit. In a copy of the obit I have for Josefina it lists a daughter as Charlotte Kivisto. I have never seen her name mentioned anywhere else in records that I have seen. Has anyone ever heard of Charlotte or know what happened to her?

Any Information on Edward Ellerman and Doris Hanker?

S_Bartlein — 2010-08-09 06:08:47Z

Hello, I'm looking for any information on Edward Ellerman. Edward and Hawkie Ellerman are my great-great grandparents. My great-grandmother is Marion (Ellerman) Bartlein. My grandfather really wants some information on Edward since he died 4 years before my grandfather was born. And Grandma Ellerman never really spoke of him after his death.

What I do know is that Edward August Ellerman was born on Dec. 10, 1873 somewhere in Wisconsin and died sometime in Nov., 1936. I have no information on who is parents are or where they were from. So any help/information would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm looking for any information on Doris (Ellerman) Hanker. She was born on May 23, 1904 and married William Hanker. From census records I believe she had three children, Irene, Raymond, and Robert. Any information on Doris or William Hanker would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
