I am seeking info about my mother's cousin, William Erdmann Jr. [He may not have used the "Jr."] I believe he was born about 1930 plus or minus perhaps 6 yrs. At some point in the 40s-70s [time uncertain], he is believed to have owned or managed a restaurant or tavern in the Meeker Hill area of Washington Countyy WI, called the Copper Kettle, according to my father's recollection. William Erdmann, Jr. was the son of William Erdmann & Elizabeth "Lizzie" (nee Suwyn/Swain/Suwijn) Erdmann. Mr.Erdmann Sr. was a Milwaukee stonecutter or stonemason who did much of the stonework at Wisconsin Memorial Park, Brookfield WI. Elizabeth nee Suwyn Erdmann was a sister of my grandfather. His two sisters, Alice & Evelyn, married two Gohlke brothers, Edwin & Emil. I want to invite Bill Erdmann, Jr., & any family to a Suwyn family reunion. I would also be interested to know the location &/or present situation of the Copper Kettle, even if you do not have info about Mr. Erdmann. Thanks for any help.
