Query 0306200801   Subject: KASTEN, BUSS, VOELKER

Edward Kasten (1839-1900) and Augusta Buss (1838-1920) were my great-great-grandparents. Both immigrated from Prussia during the 1850s and eventually settled in or near Watertown. Edward is the son of Friedrich Kasten (1813-1877) and Augusta Jaeger (1813-1884).   Augusta Buss was first married to Friedrich Voelker, son of Michael Voelker. Friedrich Voelker died of wounds suffered during the last days of the Civil War in 1865. Augusta married Edward Kasten later that year.  

I'm looking for descendents of any of these lines -- Kasten, Buss or Voelker -- or for anyone who might have information on these families.

Query 0326200801  Subject:  A letter Found    /   Mabel Grace Bartlett/Celius/Debock

 

To whom this may concern;

   Just yesterday my sister-in-law brought to me a copy of a letter written to my grandmother, Mabel Grace Bartlett/Celius/Debock. The writer identifies herself as Aunt Gusta. It is post marked on the envelope Oconomowoc, WIS. Dated Oct 26 5 - PM 1922.  Aunt Gusta, I believe was Augusta Ruth Bliss (nee) whom I have been lead to believe married W. W. Flack She was the daughter of Zenas and Almeda (Ingraham) Bliss. Augusta was born 04 Feb. 1852. Our family record has Zenas birth as 16 April 1810 at Springwater, New York and death as 15 Sept 1872 in Ashippun, Dodge, WI. He married Almeda Ingraham on 27 Oct 1833 in Savoy, Mass. She was born in 1812 Mass. and died 16 Jan. 1876 Ashippun, Dodge, WI.

   With all of this in mind, I wondered if your group would be interested in the words of her letter. I will included it and you have the right to print it if you'd like.

 

                    Oconomowoc, Wis - Oct 26th 1922

 

Dear Mabel -

   Your letter of the 21st is just received, telling me of your loss - and I am indeed very sorry to hear it - You have my deepest sympathy - and I know so well what it means to have to give up a dear little boy - That was my lot - many years ago - but will never forget the trial it was when I used to go to that little grave I could hardly bear it – and it seemed to me I must take the little grave right up in my arms – We must try to be brave at such times - and think it is for the best – any way, they are safe - and never have the trials of this life to under go - at the time of the late awful war - I thought so many times, had my boy have lived he would probably have been in the strife too - as most all others were - and that too would have been a trial - I some times think when we are made to give up our loved ones - that it means a sort of reining process for the ones that are left - and we have more feeling for the rest of the folks around about us - God knows best - and so with best love to you - and heartfelt sympathy to both yourself and Oscar -

      I am as ever

               Your Aunt

                        Gusta

 

Mabel and Oscar Celius lost their boy, Gordon Francis Celius, on 13 Oct. 1922 in Sunnyside, Yakima, Washington. He had been born 28 Aug. 1917 in Winona, Winona, Minnesota. Mabel and Oscar had separated that spring and she had moved out west to live near her folks,  Noble Clark Bartlett and Hattie Charlotte Prescott.  It was Noble's mother, Julia  Amelia Bliss, who was the sister to "Gusta" Augusta, whom I believe wrote the letter.

 

Gusta's letter was so touching in her efforts to reach out and try to console another mother who too lost a child early in life. Seeing that it never was thrown away impressed me that every person who has read it could not. I would love to hear from any one who might have a connection to this family.
