Subject: Daniel and George Case
I was a member of your society
a couple of years ago researching the Cases in Hebron Wisconsin. I found Daniel Case his Wife Velina, Children George S. and Hiram W. Case.
I am from the line of
George S. Case and found George S. living in Hebron 1880 living with wife Dora
and children Etta Case George Case and two other brothers that died at a young
age. I found that in may 1890 Dora Case gave birth to
a girl and then the Dora (the mother) died. The child then was named Dora. When
George S. Case remarried a Mary Jane Rose they moved to South Dakota. The Child Dora Case was then living with her
older Sister Etta (now Married) to a Chester Crandall. I understand Etta's
Uncle, William R. Case was still living in Hebron and the home of Daniel W.
Case and Velina where still in or near Hebron
Wisconsin.
William R. Case helped
name Hebron, WI. I am trying to find any
land information on Daniel Case's land and William R. Case's land, the
addresses and if any living descendants are still in the area. I recently
received and scanned into my computer pictures of homes and people supposedly
from Hebron, WI. Can you help me contact
someone on the Internet in Hebron Wisconsin that can help me get photos of the
cemetery and property that used to be Daniel Case's and William Case's. Also if they could help to find any living relatives. I have
three letters Hiram Case wrote to his brother George, written in 1913 right
before George died. I also have photos of William Rose and his wife and some of
his children taken in Fort Atkinson, WI.
I cannot get up to
Wisconsin to do the research and take pictures but hoped I could share some
pictures and history that I found out about from some distant relatives in
Alabama that have obituaries from WI.
Thank You!
Your help is greatly
appreciated.

William was
born approximately 1803, possibly in New York. He married Margaret Elmendorf who was born about 1827 in Erie Co., NY, and died
Jan. 1860 in Hebron, Jefferson Co., WI.
William
died somewhere around what we believe to be 1865-1870, in Jefferson county,
likely near Hebron.
They had 4
children all born in Jefferson County. They were John William (born 1852
and married Sidney Madvina Coleman), Janet (born 1853
and married Spencer Palmer), Edgar or Edward (born 1858), and Ella Annette
(born 1856 and married James Chapman).
John

Hi! We have been researching our family and
found that there was a "Schack
Grocery" in Watertown sometime in the 20's or 30's which they owned. Do
you have a facility where someone could do research to see if there is anything
related to our family in your holdings and if so, where is it and what are the

Subject: Emil Zaske - Watertown
Looking
for information on Emil Zaske
(possibly spelled Zaeske, Seske, or Zeske)
who is listed in the 1900 census (spelled Zaske) as
residing in Watertown with his wife and several children. According to the 1900 census he arrived in this
country sometime prior to 1880 with his future wife arriving three years later.
His occupation was listed as "harness maker."
It is possible that Emil Zaske is related to my g-grandfather, John Zaeske, who arrived in Oconomowoc WI in April of 1891. John
and his wife, daughter and father, Ernst Zaeske, came
from near Opole, Silesia, which at that time was a
part of Prussia (Germany). This area is presently a part of Poland.
I am planning on being at
the Society to use the library on September fourteenth and any information that
could put me "on the right track" quickly would be appreciated. I am
a current member of DJCGS.

Subject: Gower Saloon
My name is
Harold Kenneth Gower, born in Rock County WS
My greatgrandfather William H Gower operated
a saloon and billiard parlor in Watertown around the turn of the 20th
century. He was born 1853, burried in
Janesville 1916. I discovered a calling card giving his name as owner of
the saloon and billiard parlor, but no address (other than Watertown) or date indication. Can you assist me in
locating a source to find out more about this.
His son, my
grandfather William Delbert Gower lived in Janesville and owned several
taverns: The Green Onion, Hill Top Tavern, and River Street Tavern. It
appears that William H Gower gave up farming in LaPrairie
Township and entered into the saloon business,
beginning a family tradition (my father Harold N Gower and uncle Delbert
William Gower both operated taverns).
Only in
recent years have I found interest in genealogy and am now floundering through
historical sources. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Subject: Johann Christian PERTZSCH
My Name is Michael PERTZSCH and I might be an Anchestor of Johann Christian PERTZSCH who immigrated in 1862 from Germany over Quebec/Canada
to La Crosse/La Crosse County, WI where they had the birth of Walter Christian PERTZSCH in 1867, who is the Father of Irving PERTZSCH, who was for a long time the elected major of
Onalaska/ La Crosse County, WI.
It is told, that Johann Christian and his wife Caroline Wilhelmine
and their 3 daughters Mathilda, Anna and Emma moved
from Quebec (where Emma shall be born in 1862) to Watertown, where they settled
first, when they entered the United States, and where Johann
Christian PERTZSCH worked as a (Black)smith for a
couple of years.
So my question to you is, are there maybe any documents, records or any thing else
available in any archives, record-centers or any where else from which I could
get a copy? Maybe the naturalization-record, some immigration-records,
working-documents, files with all smith's, union-documents (if there was a
union for smith's), inhabitants-list, or records where some one have lived,
settled or had possession, or maybe census-records.
I've got records where he
is born but I have no documents how he came to America, from where he left
Germany or documents of any kind about his marriage (because I don't know the
correct place where he lived in Germany before he left, and so on.
I would be very thankful
for any help in any kind

Subject: David Lentz or Lenz
Our family stories have
David Lentz/Lenz arriving in Watertown, WI in 1863 to 1865 from Germany - maybe
as early as 1861. One son, William Sr and family
moved to Freeborn County, MN in 1868.
We do not know if David
died in Watertown, and if there were other children who stayed there.
The 1880 U.S. Census
lists a Christina Kroger (Kruger) living with William Lenz in Freeborn Co., MN.
It lists her as mother or grandmother.
We wonder if David died
in Watertown, or sooner, and his wife, Christina, remarried to Kruger/Kroger,
and after his death, before 1880, came to live with her son, in MN.
That is not much to go
on. Sorry.

Subject: August Klug family
Hi-- I am from Iowa. My great-great grandparents
immigrated to the U.S. in 1863 and settled in Rome, WI.,
Jefferson County. Their names are August and Louise (Krause) Klug. They had 3 daughters and 2
sons. The one son, August Frederick Charles Klug
was my great grandfather. I have almost of the history from my
grandmother. I do have Louise Klug's
obituary.
What I am
looking for all exact dates on August. My grandmother had a scrapbook
with all kinds of articles on family members including obits. All I have
from Louise's obit is that August wa
born in 1834, Pommerania, Germany. They were
married in 1855 and that he passed away in 1865 just two years after they got
to the U.S. leaving her with the small children to care for. In 1867, she
remarried and moved to Sumner, Bremer Co., Iowa. Also, they had a son
named Fredinand Klug born in Sept., 1859, in Schoenbeck, Germany and he died in Feb., 1906
Walworth Co., WI. and is buried in Whitewater,
WI. Would like some information on this family, too.
Is it
possible for someone to look some of this up for me or would it be better if I
travel to Helenville and Whitewater, myself? I
live in Bremer Co., Iowa not too far from where they all lived and have
exhausted my search here. They were Lutherans. I guess I would
start with St. Peter's in Helenville and go from
there. Thanks for the help or advice.
