Re: VALLENDER, Sophia T., b. DANE CO, 1882
"Does anybody have any information about this person or family in WI.?"

Funny enough, I think I do - was she related to a Sophie Valender in Madison whose maiden name was either Löhrer, married to Franz; or Schroeder, married to Wm.? There's a short series of rare biographical death notices for Madison area residents in one of the German language newspapers published in Milwaukee.

"Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950).
