Melvin Edelbach parents were William and Della ( Angst) Edelbach. William was a shoemaker in Arcadia WI who sold his business and tried his luck at finding gold in Alaska during the big rush in the late 1890's. I believe he only spent less than a year before becoming frustrated and coming back to Wisconsin to where he married and had children and continued his work as a shoemaker in Winona,MN. William Edelbach parents were Fredrich and Auguste Edelbach who were from Province of Schlessing, Prussia, Germany.
Just thought I would send some more information your way.
