Re: Oswald Laake & brother Paul Lake

2005-04-14 17:03:41Z

I am also looking for information on them. Moreso on Oswald than Paul. I probably do not have anything you do not already have, but would love if you could share. Do you have anything on their parents? Oswald and Pauline would have been my great great grandparents. I have an obituary for both Oswald and Paulina if you would like them, or you may have them already. Any valuable information you have would be greatly appreciated. Just email me.

Re: relations

jackjohnson85 — 2003-10-14 17:01:11Z

Yes, I do think we're related. LOL Hiya cousin John!! It seems you're looking for what I'm looking for. I also saw a message from another one of our cousins ( on another site ) who is researching the Laakes and hasn't come up with much, either. We are from German heritage and as far as I know Herman Laake's family were from Missouri. Henry Laake came to Davenport and married Gertrude Adams, our beloved grandmother.

I would like to know more about any Laake family in Missouri. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Feel free to email me.

Oswald Laake & brother Paul Lake

dgouge_1 — 2002-09-25 20:11:55Z

I am researching Paul Lake (born 1855) that immigrated to the US in 1885 from Germany. Married and was naturalized in Dallas, TX. Spent his latter years in Henderson County, Tx.

His brother Oswald Laake (born 1851) immigrated to the US in 1883 with wife Pauline. Oswald and family are on the 1900 census in Austin County, Tx and the 1910 census in Colorado County, Tx.

Oswald & Paul's father is listed as being Anton Laake.

Any information would be so helpful and appreciated.

Re: Laakes in Paige TX

Hi, I'm the daughter of Amanda Laake and Allen Watson. Doris Goerner is my aunt (my mother's sister in law). The Laake Reunion is the first Saturday in August of every year, and I believe Dennis Goerner (Aunt Doris' nephew) has compiled a lot of geneology information. I've read her History of Paige, which has a bit more info about the Goerners than about the Laakes.

Re: Gerhard Laake

2001-09-12 19:26:24Z

Could Gerhard be the grandfather of Harry Laake of Cincinnati who was born around 1880`s and died of a stroke in the 1920`s .Harry married Julia Rebusch and she died in 1955 in Cinti .They had 4 children that lived to be adults Mildrid , Gertrude ,Edward , and Alvin.

Hello! The only information I have is the cemetery listing, however there are two other people who are researching families in this cemetery. You can try:
LC Johnson [guksmail@home.com]
Or look for Virgil Freels posting on this same forum. I never did get his e-mail. If I can be of any other help, you can e-mail me at stevenletty@netzero.net or visit my webpage at http://theharrington.homepage.com.
The Friendship cemetery is listed under the "Texas Cemeteries" link and than "Other Cemeteries" link.
