Attached is Aliina's naturalization, and it shows her living in Brantwood Wisconsin in 1944.

Re: kauranen family

Kalameli47 — 2013-05-15 13:41:31Z

I have attached his burial in the Prentice Cemetery. I wasn't able to find Aliina's in any of the other cemeteries in Price county. Attached is a pic of the 1930 census for her and it shows her head of household, so maybe they were divorced?

Re: Anna Carlson obituary look-up

redpens — 2013-01-29 04:16:36Z

Ooooh. I have no idea if our local library has a microfilm reader. I'm guessing not, but I'd have to look into that. Thank you for telling me about that option.

Re: Anna Carlson obituary look-up

redpens — 2013-01-29 04:13:52Z

I'll try most anything, but I don't have her husband's first name. Her maiden name was Erickson, though she was raised by her foster parents, Andrew John Larson and Anna Elizabeth (Erickson) Larson, who ended up moving to Oregon. I don't believe she was ever legally adopted. Her son's name might have been Raymond Carlson.

She was born around 1887 in Minnesota. At the time her adopted parents each died, she was married with the last name Carlson and was living in Minneapolis, Minn., in 1932, and then in Webster, Wis., in Vernon County, in 1943.

Re: Anna Carlson obituary look-up

krbaumga — 2013-01-29 04:02:44Z

Heindl Funeral Home doesn't keep obituaries with their records.
The name of the local (Phillips) newspaper is THE BEE. Since you know the death date, you can order a microfilm from Wis. Historical Society through Inter Library Loan at your library. WHS sends it to your library to be read there. Your library needs a microfilm reader. You don't have to live in Wisconsin for this service.

Re: Anna Carlson obituary look-up

Kalameli47 — 2013-01-29 03:13:41Z

I would contact the:
Heindl Funeral Home
304 N Avon Ave Phillips, WI 54555(715) 339-2313
I beleive they would know the history. I hope this helps you. Let me know. I grew up in the area, so they would probably have a lot of history.

Colleen,
I grew up in the area, and if you could tell me her maiden name, what her husbands first name is, I may be able to help you more. :-)
Carmel

Re: Anna Carlson obituary look-up

redpens — 2013-01-28 23:06:45Z

Oh, I wish it were! But my Anna's married name was Carlson, not her maiden name, and she was likely born in Minnesota (I have her census information prior to her marriage; her later life, sadly, is the problem). I suspect the Anna with this death date could be the right one, but I can't be sure without an obit listing survivors.

Re: Anna Carlson obituary look-up

Kalameli47 — 2013-01-28 21:53:59Z

Could this be your Anna Carlson?

Anna Carlson obituary look-up

redpens — 2013-01-23 23:27:25Z

I was wondering if anyone could access an obituary digitally for an Anna Carlson who died March 27, 1971, in the area of Phillips, in Price County, Minn.

I would truly appreciate it; I primarily need to know what survivors are listed for her.

Thank you, thank you.

I was at the library yesterday and found Millie Larson's obit in THE BEE, Phillips, Wisconsin, issue 8 March 1990, vol. 106, No. 31, Pg. 6, Col. 1

Her death record is not in Price County, it is undoubtedly in Taylor County.

He married Anna Sofia Anderson and they had 8 children.

I'm not a relative, I helped you find Schnur information in 2006 - 2007. I searched my computer for your surname to find what had been sent to you and came up with a history of Martin Mill school that was used in a Price County Genealogical Society Newsletter. Katherine's name was listed as a teacher. If you are interested in the article, I could send it to you via e-mail. Is your address still kensch777@yahoo.com?

majfam — 2012-10-10 00:19:32Z

I am not related just trying to help, alittle food for thought here,and may be worth checking out
checking on familysearch.org I did find a F. William Schnore in Charles Mix South Dakota 1920 census listed as a widow born 1874
and I also found a William Schnor in the 1916 Saskatchewan Canada census age 43 born 1873 came to Canada in 1910....again just thought this may be something to check into.

Re: Schnur Brothers Vanished

Thank You again, I would love to know how you know all this information on Katherine, Henry and William's grandmother was Katharine lived with her husband Johann Dieter in Milwaukee Dieter died about 1858 and she stayed there until she died in 1893 and was buried in Union Cemetery in Butternut Ashland Co. just across the line from Price Co. were her Son Adam's (William and Frank's father) farm was so I think that it could be another Schnur family, however I would like to follow up on it.

Have you tried the Minnesota death index online? Did they move with the timber to Oregon or Washington state? Many from this area did.

Re: Schnur Brothers Vanished

Hello Ken,
This isn't a Schnur brother, but did you know that Katherine Schnur taught at Martin's Mill School in 1902 - 1903? The school is in Price County, Wisconsin, near Catawba.

Alfred/Mildred Richter

gramendt63 — 2012-07-20 04:59:01Z

Thanks for the help on where Alfred and Mildred Freeman Richter are buried in Price County.

Is there any family member doing genealogy research on Alfred and Mildred? My great-grandparents, Herman and Mary Feldschneider Hainke, raised Alfred after his mother, Rekka Feldschneider Richter passed away shortly after his birth.

Besides Alfred, his children that I remember that visited my grandmother, Evalyn Hainke Stumbaugh in Eleroy, IL, were Helen Soderstrom, Vincent, Francis, Maxine and Bob.

I have lots of family photos of Alfred when he was growing up in Newton, Iowa from little on and will be glad to share them.

Thank you.

Thanks for the great information. I have updated Harland's Find-A-Grave page. And, by the way, I did figure out who Alfhild Motley was. She was the wife - later ex-wife - of Harland's younger brother Howard. Here is her FAG page:

Re: Motley, James and Ebba

krbaumga — 2012-05-02 18:18:43Z

Correction: The tombstone transcription for Harland Motley from Cemetery Indexes of Price County has death date of 1959. This is an error. His death record (Price County, Wisconsin, Register of Deeds, 126 Cherry Street, Phillips, Wisconsin 54555, Deaths Vol. 17, Page 161) has the death date 10 May 1953. Death record information: Born 20 May 1883; lived in Ogema 38 years; married; a farmer; father is James; mother is L.Barrows; informant is Mr.[sic] Ebba Motley; COD is Coronary thrombosis for 1 year; buried 13 May 1953; Elmer Taylor, funeral director, Rib Lake, Wisconsin

I found obits today for Joseph and Kathryn (Benny) Strobl. I am sending them to your home email because I'm unable to attach a .pdf file to this messageboard. The microfilm scanner at the library only saves to .pdf.

Source information for Joseph Strobl obituary, The Bee, Phillips, Wis., issue 10 September 1987, vol. 104, no. 6, pg. A-4, col. 1

Source information for Kathryn Strobl obituary The Bee, Phillips, Wis. issue 19 March 1992, vol.108, no.32, pg. 17, col. 4.

I hope this helps in your research.

Re: Obit's in Kennan & Phillips, WI

krbaumga — 2012-05-02 17:54:14Z

I am sending you Mildred Richter's obituary via email rather than on rootsweb because I can not attach a .jpg file to rootsweb and the only form to save it from the microfilm is .jpg.

I looked for Alfred Richter's obituary in THE BEE, Phillips, Wisconsin. I was unable to find it there. An Alfred Richter (don't know if he is yours or not) born 7 Sept. 1886, died in Park Falls, Wisconsin 20 January 1974 and is buried in Union Cemetery in Butternut (Ashland County) according to his death record (Deaths vol. 25, pg. 32, Price County Register of Deeds, 126 Cherry St., Phillips, WI 54555) His obit is probably in the Park Falls Herald, Park Falls, Wis. The Park Falls, Wisconsin Public Library does some obituary look-ups. I'd check with them if I were you. His surviving spouse is Dollie Pope according to the death record.

Thank you so much for your rapid reply. It's nice when these message boards work so well. I have updated the respective Find A Grave pages with their burial location and have requested photos. Now I have to figure out just who this "Alfhild (Hammar) Motley" is and how she acquired the Motley surname. Maybe she married a brother of Harland? Sorry! Just thinking out loud here.

So thanks again, Tom

Re: Motley, James and Ebba

krbaumga — 2012-04-26 03:00:50Z

Motley graves are at Hillside Cemetery, Ogema, Price County, Wisconsin.
The Price County Genealogical Society transcribed tombstones in the year 2000. The following is from the transcription.
Surname, Forename, Birth, Death, Notes.
MOTLEY Alfhild H. 1891 1965 Daughter of HAMMAR;
MOTLEY Ebba W. 1899 1979 Mother;
MOTLEY Harland 1883 1959 Father;
MOTLEY Lewis E. 7 Mar 1924 3 Feb 1996 Tec 4, US Army, WWII.

These tombstones are toward the back of the cemetery, near the war memorial.

Ebba - http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=80...
