Re: Newspaper lookup from Wisconsin Historical Society

petie44 — 2013-06-11 16:06:07Z

I don't have the full articles, just an index for them. You could request them from the Wisconsin State Historical Society for copying fees. The 5th of August, 1887 article states that Ollie folts, a 6 year old granddaughter of F. Most died at Hurley, Wisconsin.

Can someone do a lookup for me?

I am looking for:
Wisconsin Leader Newspaper dated 25 March 1887, a divorce was granted to Clark H. Folts &. Lilla.

Also, An article dated 7 Aug 1887 is an obit for Ollie Folts.

I live in a very rural county, which doesn't do interlibrary loans. :(

Re: Westerlund Family

I see no birth record for you in Jackson County and no Westerland/Westerlund family or marriage record. Possibly Cook County, Illinois would have more information.

Re: Rural school in Town of City Point

petie44 — 2013-05-12 14:01:57Z

There were at various time frames 4 or 5 rural schools in various places throughout the township. On the 1901 atlas, the Mish property is in Section 8. They could have been attending the Spaulding School near that area. The early records aren't readily available. There were some county school records kept in a lower room at the Third Street School in Black River, but whether the District Office there would access them, if they are still there, I have no idea.
When the rural schools closed, some students were transferred to Pittsville, which is in Wood County.

Re: Martyr Cemetery

petie44 — 2013-05-03 15:29:22Z

No stone was found in the City Point cemeteries for any of the Mish family. Although Mass was known to have been offered in the homes of early settlers as early as 1900, a frame church known as Saint Peter and Paul's wasn't built until 1911. It was built next to the Spaulding Catholic Cemetery which is located 4 miles west of the City Point Community Center on Hwy. 54 (T 22N-R1E, Sec. 30) In 1912, Saint Mary's Church was built near City Point. Both congregations were served by priests of the Saint Lawrence Parish in Wisconsin Rapids. Saint Mary's was disbanded and the City Point Spaulding mission was attached to Saint Joachim's Parish of Pittsville, WI in 1949.The Old City Point Cemetery and the City Point Catholic Cemetery are side by side in Section 35 off Hwy. 54.
I see only John & Elizabeth's son Paul (b. Jan 1883) on the 1900 census in City Point. Possibly Thomas had left prior to that census.

Martyr Cemetery

fossenl — 2013-05-03 03:24:50Z

Just wondering what the name of the Catholic Church was that was connected with Martyr Cemetery in City Point, WI, and where the church was located. My Mish family farmed in the Town of City Point from about 1884 to 1908. Are there any of the Mish family in this cemetery? I am searching for a Thomas Mish / Misch, b. 22 Dec 1877 in German Poland. He was seven years old when he came to City Point in 1884 with his parents, John and Lizzie Mish. Barbara

Re: Oakwood Cemetery in Merrilan (Alma), Jackson, WI

petie44 — 2013-05-02 18:39:58Z

I have some indexing of early newspaper articles for Jackson County, but only with brief notes. The divorce article was in the Wisconsin Leader Newspaper for that date(25 Mar 1887) and I think if you wrote to the State Historical Society at Madison, WI, they would be able to give you a copy of the article from microfilm. I see that Timothy Folts & wife Ada Estelle Gould were living in Monroe County, WI. Go to the Monroe County Local History & Museum site and you will find Folts info. Ada's date were in error on the year of death, should be 1931 not 1963? Thought that looked bizarre. I believe Clark's parents are buried at the Big Creek Cemetery there. Clark appears to have remarried in 1888 and was in Arkansas.

Re: Oakwood Cemetery in Merrilan (Alma), Jackson, WI

Gen4You — 2013-05-02 16:15:15Z

Oh wow!!!! I didn't know about the divorce. I had thought I read that she died shortly after their baby. From the looks of this though, it appears they may have had another child, if the granddaughter did indeed belong to Lilla.

Can I ask where you found the newspaper articles? Are they online somewhere? You've given me a lot to research. I can't thank you enough!

Re: Oakwood Cemetery in Merrilan (Alma), Jackson, WI

petie44 — 2013-05-02 15:57:34Z

Clark H. Foltz and Lilla M. Most marriage record, Vol. 2, pg. 52 dated 12 Oct 1878 is at the Jackson County Courthouse Register of Deeds.
At East Lawn Cemetery in Alma Center, Town of Alma, Jackson County are burials for Lillie, infant daughter of C. H. & L. M. Folts, died 28 Dec 1882. Next lot is J. F. Most died 17 Dec 1902, aged 66 yrs, 8 mos & 27 ds. This must be John F. Most, Lillie's father.
At Oakwood Cemetery, Merrillan, Jackson County, WI there are Folts burials: Timothy folts 12 May 1850-11 Nov 1915; Ada B., daut. of T. G. & A. E. Folts d. 3 Jan 1883 aged 2 yrs & 5 mos. (scarlet fever); Hiram H., son of T. G. & A. E. 1871-1873; Infant son, d. 1 Jan 1893 aged 6 mos & 22 ds; Enos T. son of T. G. & A. E. died 12 Aug 1879. aged 3 yrs.; Addie E. Mather Folts, 7 Dec 1855-4 Apr 1963.
From the early Wisconsin Leader Newspaper dated 25 March 1887, a divorce was granted to Clark H. Folts &. Lilla. An article dated 7 Aug 1887 stated that a granddaughter named Ollie Folts of John Most died 28 July 1887 at Hurley, Wisconsin. Hurley is in Iron County, Wisconsin and possibly this is where Lilla went after the divorce? No other stones for Folts were found in any other cemeteries in Jackson County.
Hope some of this helps.

Re: Berthe Overlien

petie44 — 2013-03-27 12:15:31Z

According to the Badger State Banner Newspaper dated 21 March 1895, Bertha died 15 March 1895 of consumption, leaving a husband and 5 children. The children were: Olaus H. b. 2 Dec 1879-4 Nov 1964; Caroline b. Mar 1881; Odell H. Dec 1882- 1900; Calmer b. 19 Sep 1884-2 Apr 1922; Emma H. b. Sep 1886. You could find the graves on the Find A Grave site at Little Norway Church, Albion, Jackson County, Wisconsin. Bertha has a death record at the courthouse, Vol. 2, pg. 112. The 1900 census indicates they were married in 1878. Hans died 21 May 1920 and is buried in the same lot.

Re: Kneiser & Franklin newspapers of 1867 and 1872 (which Franklin?)

rebholzgary — 2012-11-24 14:04:40Z

Is this posting for Franklin, Jackson Co., in west-central Wisconsin as originally posted, or for the Town of Franklin in Milwaukee Co.?

The newspaper titles referenced in this thread didn't exist in 1867 or 1872.

There are no entries or references to Kneiser in my current version of "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950). I've been told by researchers that the library doesn't acknowledge the German newspapers or my approx. 5000 page index donated to their collection.

If this posting is for Franklin, Jackson Co., Wisconsin, a librarian in that area could help focus on a community that published papers for that area in 1867 or 1872.

Hello Katrina, I'm not sure what kind of census data you are looking for. I went on ancestry.com and quickly found the family in the 1905 state census and the 1910 federal census. They are in Jackson Co. Northfield township in each. For 1905 they are on page 6 of 11, living with their son, Olas Larson:
Olas head of household age 31
Petra wife age 24
Alvin son age 3
Herman son age 1
John son age 1/12
Albert brother age 22
Oluf father age 64
Anna mother age 57
Oscar brother age 15
Selma sister age 12

In the 1910 census they are on page 13 of 21:
Oluf Larson age 69 mar 39 yrs immigrat 1868
Anna age 62 mar 39 yrs 7 of 10 children alive immigrat 1868
Albert age 27
Selma age 17

We always need a parish name to be sure we have the same person you are asking about. Her name is far from being unique. All you provided was her very common name and a birthdate, but you didn't provide the necessary location.

There is no census cd for that time period. I assume you are interested in finding her in the household examination records, a parish record which is in the format of a census but which is FAR more detailed and which was updated continually (not just every ten years). You are in luck because Arkiv Digital (a service with scanned parish record books) has a free weekend this very weekend. You can search for free.

SRyndersKopec — 2012-05-26 17:54:33Z

If your people were German and if they could read--they probably read the Milwaukee Herold und Seebote Newspaper or the Milwaukee Germania Abendpost. There were other Germany papers in the early years which are on microfilm at the main Milwaukee Public Library. If you know a date, you should go online to the main library and contact their DITTO services. Pricing is cheap, but you must have a date before they will do a search and make copies for you. If there was a obituary--it will be in the old German Script and written in the German language.
