Milwaukee's German newspapers: Claude Gerard, d. 1863

rebholzg — 2009-09-17 03:56:16Z

Milwaukee's German newspapers: Claude Gerard, d. 1863

Death of a veteran. - On the night of Wednesday-last week, Claude Gerard died at Chilton, Calumet County, at the age of one hundred and seven years. He was born in France and served under the Napoleon I in the wars in Italy on the peninsula, and in Russia, as well as in the Battle of Waterloo. He was a respected resident of Calumet County for many years, by all who knew and loved him. His death came unexpectedly: before he went to bed, he had played with his grand-children with his whole heart, and the next morning the sun shone upon his corpse.

Translated from the "Banner und Volksfreund" (Milwaukee, Wisc.) 20 Oct 1863, pg 3 col 3; indexed at the Salzmann Library, St. Francis de Sales Seminary, and at the Milwaukee Public Library.

I just got a lead on one of my "brick wall" lines and I am hoping someone out there can help me find further information.

Searching for information on a Norman GERARD (alt sp GIRARD). He was living in Grand Rapids, Wood County, WI in 1900 at the age of 70. He was widowed and living as a boarder at hotel. Prior to living in Wood County, he was living in Omro Township, Winnebago Co, WI. Did he die there?

How is he related to Samuel GIRARD of Waupaca Co WI?

Any help appreciated.

Sorry, I have no more information on the Silas I have in my database. I would like to help you but can't.

Re: Gerard

KarenJordan53 — 2009-02-12 05:15:20Z

Thanks for your reply Carolyn. Do you know if Sillas's marriage to Maranda was a long term marriage? The Silas I am looking for would have been married to Delphin in and around 1877 when their son was born.

Re: Gerard

CarolynCGerard — 2009-02-12 04:11:45Z

I have a Sillas Garrard born about 1842 in Ohio. He married Maranda I. Warrell in Madison Co. Ohio 1 Nov 1865. The surname is spelled as Garard and Gerard in the family.

Re: Gerard

KarenJordan53 — 2009-02-12 02:11:28Z

I am also looking for a Gerard. He would be my great, great grandfather - Silas Verdun Gerard. He had a son, Harry Platt Gerard born in Beacon, Iowa January 28th 1877. Silas was married to Delphin Ketchum for a short time.

Re: Gerard's Map of the Land in Long Island,NY

froberger — 2009-01-24 00:52:34Z

The Gerard family was important in Patchoque, a larger city in Brookkhaven Township Long Island. I don't remember the father's name but he was a judge or something important in county government. His son, Wilmot D. Gerard, born 1875 in Patchogue, also worked in the clerk's office. The Grandson Lorimer E. Gerard age 16 was in Washington DC in the 1930 Census with his monther Lilli M. He later moved to Dallas Texas.

Re: My birthday wish

scohoon — 2006-12-15 16:34:53Z

I wish I could give you this present. But, alas, I can't. My Gerard's came from Canada and settled into Michigan. If any of the branches or twigs went on, they are to far out for me to have discovered them myself. Sorry, but good luck and keep searching. It is surprising how and when something new turns up on Ancestry and Rootsweb. Keep checking back in with them.

BOOK: My Four Years in Germany by James W. Gerard, son of James and Jennie GERARD of NY

kathywieland — 2007-02-26 16:08:39Z

James W. Gerard was the son of James W, an attorney, and Jennie. In the 1880 Census, the Gerard family is living in NY, NY. James, age 12, brother Franklin age 10, brother Sumner age 8, and brother Julian age 5.

James Watson Gerard (August 25, 1867 - September 6, 1951) was a U.S. lawyer and diplomat.
Gerard was born in Geneseo, N. Y. He graduated from Columbia in 1890 and from Columbia Law School in 1902. He was chairman of the Democratic campaign committee of New York County for four years, and served as major of the National Guard of the State of New York for four years. He was appointed to the New York Supreme Court in 1908, where he served as associate justice until 1911. He was the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator from New York in 1914. Under president Woodrow Wilson he served as the American Ambassador to Germany from 1913 to 1917. On the declaration of war by the United States, he was recalled from his post of minister at Berlin and took up the practice of law in New York City. The George H. Doran Company of New York City published two books Gerard wrote on his experiences titled "My Four Years in Germany" released in 1917 and the following year, "Face to Face with Kaiserism."

Looking for William Gerard b. 1868 Iowa

DonnyDale — 2008-01-16 04:38:27Z

I'm looking for a distant grandfather of mine, William Gerard, born in 1868-1870 in Iowa. He married Bertha B. Wiltrout sometime around 1895, I think, and has five sons I know about; George, Philip, Oscar, Walter, and William. He died sometime around 1914-1919, as in 1920, Bertha was remarried. His father was born in Pennsylvania and his mother was born in Indiana, but I don't have their names or anything. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Re: Arthur Gerard

DeAnneCampbell22333 — 2007-08-21 06:02:41Z

I have quite an extensive history on the Gerard family from the Philippe Rollin web site but I have none after they immigrated to the US. My GGGGrandfather was Jean Joseph Gerard born 1815 in Herbeumont, Lux, Bel. He married Anne Marie Gaillard born 1814 in Herbeumont, Lux, Bel. They had seven children. One of their children was Jean Nicolas Gerard (my GGGrandfather)who was born in 1839 in Herbeumont. He married Marie Louise Longville born 1844 in Herbeumont. They married in Herbeumont and had 11 children. Felicie born 1867, Eugenie born 1868, Marie-Victoria born 1870, Pauline born 1873, Celina born 1875, Octavia born 1877, Marie (my GGrandmother) born 1879, Virginie born 1883, Joseph born 1885, Germaine born 1887, Jeanne born 1889. I have a copy of the ship list which indicates that the Gerard family immigrated in 1893 from Antwerp. The last place of residence was Pont Fangy. They immigrated to Natick Rhode Island. Marie (my GGrandmother) married Louis Petit in 1909 in Massachusetts. My Grandmother (Gabrielle) was born 1910 in Pawtucket RI. They immigrated to Canada in 1919. I have no other information on the remaining Gerard family who remained in the US. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks:)

Re: Arthur Gerard

I have a Joseph Gerard that is in my ancestory and wondering if this person is the father of Arthur. Joseph immigrated from Belgium with his family in 1893 to Rhode Island. Joseph was born about 1885 and was 8 years old in 1893 when they immigrated. Josephs sister(my great Grandmother)immigrated to Canada in 1919. Let me know if this Joseph is part of your ancestory. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Re: Gerard Lockwood connection

larryhwy — 2008-03-29 14:26:45Z

Mary Rohama Lockwood is my Great Great Grandmother. She married Henry Vincent Gerard/Jerard c.1858 and had 2 children, Dean and Leroy Vincent. Leroy V is my Great Grand Father. Mary is the daughter of Charles Lockwood and Hannah Goldie Gwin/Guin. Henry V was originally from Theresa, Jefferson Co., NY and migrated to Michigan where he met Mary. In 1861 Henry enlisted in the 9th Michigan Infantry and was subsequently captured during the battle of Murrfreesboro, TN. He was sent to Camp Chase, OH as a parolee and from there deserted. Upon returning to Michigan to find his wife, he found that she had moved back home with her family, and that he was no longer welcome. From there he went back to his family in NY where in 1863 he married Hester Ann Wright. I don't know if his first marriage was ever disolved or not. Henry later moved with his new family to Clark Co., WS where he died in 1897. Mary married Volney Cross in 1876 and moved to Wexford Co., MI where she died in1928.

I hope that this will aid you in your reserch.
