MIMI BIRD, 1933-2002

Mimi Bird knew just what she wanted for a final resting place. After all, she spent years of her life exploring the Town of Union Cemetery, tucked away north of Bayshore Mall in Whitefish Bay. She remembered running through the cemetery as a girl "to scare ourselves on Halloween". Years later, as a neighbor and a historian, she began tending the little cemetery and quite literally, uncovering its history.

Bird died of emphysema Thursday at the Glendale condominium she called home the last four years. She was 69. "She really died from cigarette smoking" said husband John D. Bird. "That's what did it."

She was born Miriam Young in Milwaukee. When she was 4, her parents moved to Whitefish Bay. That was where she grew up and spent her adult life. It was also where she became the undisputed expert on local history, both in the village and the greater North Shore area.

1 In her earlier years Bird had worked as a secretary. She met her husband when their mothers—concerned about their two twenty-something children remaining unmarried—managed to fix them up for a date. She spent the next decades in volunteer work, including at their children's schools, and working part time for the Whitefish Bay Public Library. In 1976, she began to research her genealogy and that of her husband's family. As that was winding down in the early 1980s, Bird heard about the Whitefish Bay Historical Society.

Her first project involved locating, photographing and researching hundreds of the oldest homes in the village. All kinds of other research followed. Some of the leads took her to the Town of Milwaukee cemetery. There she looked for sunken spots, sticking a spade into the ground. She found dozens of old fallen tombstones, buried by time under the earth. "I just had this wonderful feeling of elation when I'd find an old one," Bird said in a 1983 interview. "The tombstones were the only (surviving) records of births and deaths."

Bird filled volumes with everything from real estate records to the early details of village life, its farms, businesses , and people. She pored over the minutes of every Village Board meeting from 1892 until 1950. She interviewed old- timers, acquiring old letters and documents. Bird eventually researched the rest of the old Town of Milwaukee, which includes what's now the North Shore area, and the adjacent Town of Granville. And when Whitefish Bay had a 100th anniversary in 1992, she produced a book on local history. In 1991, Bird was recognized by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Her research continues to be available at the Whitefish Bay Library, the University of -Milwaukee Golda Meir Library, the County Historical Society and the Milwaukee Central Library's local history room.

Survivors include her husband, John; sons David J. and Peter E; brother Carter H. Young; grandchildren; and other relatives...Her ashes will be buried at the Town of Union Cemetery. [Obituary by Amy Rabideau Silvers for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 10/14/02.] 5- tjc CMS CO

tfont/'no&J p 47 l« A SECTION OF LAND

A section of land is a block of ground that measures one mile long and one mile wide. The Land Ordinance of 1785 provided a framework for the ordinary settlement of the Northwest Territory, and the system of establishing townships and sections prevented boundary dis­ putes. This system was used in surveying all* the territories later acquired by the . A township is six miles wide and six miles long. Within its bounds are 36 sections of land, each one mile wide and one mile long. Each section is made up of 640 acres. A half-section of land measures 320 acres, whil£ there are 160 acres in a quarter-section. Half of a quarter-section is 80 acres. The section system of land division is used in most of the United States, west of Ohio. The land in present Whitefish Bay was surveyed during the summer of 1835; much of this land was sold in September 1835. The Village of Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Glendale and Bayside are in Township 8 North Range 22 East. The Village of Shorewood is in Township 7.

In 1876, the area #of the Town of Milwaukee was 8 miles in length, 4 miles wide at the southern end and about 3 miles wide at the northern end. The south line was the dividing line between the City of Milwaukee and the Town; the northern line was County Line Road; the east side was and the western boundary was where the Towns of Wauwatosa and Granville began.

+S 1', 35 3& THE TOWN OF MILWAUKEEf S EARLY SETTLERS The following resource areas were used in compiling this genealogical history of this town's early settlers: Milwaukee County Courthouse - Vital Statistics; Probate; Deeds. UW-M Golda Meier Library - Area Research Center; Archives; Microforms Center (Birth, Marriage, Death records; Deeds; Cemetery records; newspapers). Milwaukee Public Library (Central) - Census records and newspapers on microfilm; Local History Room.

and Church records: St. John's Lutheran Church, Glendale; Trinity Ev.Lutheran Church of South Mequon; old St. Peter's Ev. Lutheran Church, East Granville (no longer in existence; records kept at St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church - Brown Deer.) Information from descendants of settlers.

"Germans to America - Lists of Passengers Arriving at U.S.Ports Jan.1850 - Dec.1870," Vol.1-24, by Ira A.Glazier and P.William Filby. (Located in Central Library) Town of Milwaukee Union Cemetery records, located in the Whitefish Bay Public Library, village of Whitefish Bay Tax and Assessment Rolls; Minute Books. Dates used in this book are given as month/day/year, i.e., 1/17/1860. Each family is listed under the headings shown in the following example:

Name Age Occupation Where Born

Remember ages given in early census records were not reliable; often given by an older child if parents were otherwise occupied, or misunderstood by the census taker if given in a foreign lan­ guage. Census takers also spelled many names phonetically on the early census records. Some children and grandchildren of the settlers anglicized their surnames. The Town of Milwaukee's borders were Burleigh Ave./Kenwood Blvd. north to County Line Rd., N. 27th St./Range Line Rd. east to Lake Michigan. The suburbs of Glendale, Shorewood, Bayside, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point and most of River Hills are now within those borders. The portion of River Hills west of Range Line Rd. was in the former Town of Granville. The town's southern border was later moved to the Keefe/Edgewood Aves.line. In giving deed descriptions, the following abbreviations were used: Sec. '= Section, T = Town, R = Range. The Town of

37 Milwaukee was in Range 22 E (East); the former Town of Granville was in Range 21 E and Range Line Rd. (a/k/a 27th St.) was the dividing line. Hampton Road was the dividing line between Town 7 and Town 8, Town 8 being N of Hampton Rd. The next page shows a map of a Section of land and the various measurements within it, used in deed descriptions. When the or Lake Michigan lies within the portion of land described, the designation is "Fractional Section."

I separated the Dutch settlers, who settled mainly in present Fox Point, into their own group beginning on page 786. At the end of the Dutch settler group I have included a section titled "Historical Tidbits," describing early mills, taverns, bridges, roads, post offices, etc. This was from information I gathered during my research. The Whitefish Bay Library has a collection of materials I have compiled, researched and photographed. There are photograph albums showing the old farmhouses of the Town of Milwaukee - photographs I took and some given to me - in albums designated by each of the present suburbs. I apologize for any family I inadvertendly omitted, lC attempted to include all families who located and stayed in the Town of Milwaukee between 1850 and 1880.

There are no pages 19 6,221 or 296.

The following books were consulted, found in the main library of the Milwaukee Public Library:

" - City and County," V. 1, , editor; "History of Milwaukee," v.1 and 2, Howard Louis Conrad; "History of Milwaukee," vol. 1 and 2, John G. Gregory and "Memoirs of Milwaukee County," v.1 by Lt.Col. Jerome A. Watrous, editor.

Gottlob Adler settled on the east side of the Port Washington Road, in the approximate area of the present 6800 block. To Christian G. Adler and Adam Becker, Warranty Deed on Jan. 1, 1857 from Christian and Anna Mary Schafer, for $1100.00, the 17.49 acres in Sec. 20 Town 8 Range 22 E, beginning on the center of the Washington Road and the line between the Schafer land and Fred Kruger's land, then east on that line to the E line of Sec. 20, south 25 rods, west parallel with the north line to the center of the Washington road, northwardly on center of said road to the place of the beginning.

Adler and Becker were either related or very close friends to purchase land together. Gottlob Adler is 42 years old on the 1860 census; Adam Becker is 25 and his wife, Christiana is 22 years old. It is possible that Christiana was Gottlobfs daughter; she was also born in Saxony.

ik AGNES

The name is sometimes written as "Agner" in old records. By 1843, Nicolas Agnes owned land in Section 20 Range 22E in the Town of Milwaukee and sold the same to his children:

On Oct.24,1843 to Michael Agnes, Mary Agnes, Eve Agnes, Margaret Agnes and Barbary Schmidt, all of the Town of Milwaukee, for $1,000.00, the E 55 acres beginning at a stake 10.78 rods N from the SW corner of Sec.20 Town 8, then N 55 rods along the section line (Sunny Point Rd.), E 160 rods, S 55 rods, W 160 rods to place of beginning; sold in the presence of Avery Agnes (another son) and Solo­ mon C. Enos, Justice of Peace. The SW corner of Sec.20 is the present W.Mill Rd. IF Mill Road continued east of the Milwaukee River.

On July 21,1845 Nicholas bought, from George Walker for $800.00 Lot 1 and the NE^ NW^ of NWi of Sec.29 = 79.92 acres and 65.78 acres of the SW fractional \ of Sec.20 (being Lots 2 & 3), and the SE^ SW^- to be taken from the said fractional \ section, for a total of 145.70 acres in Town 8 Range 22.

(An Anna Marie Agnes bought 34.93 acres in Sec.6 Town 5 R22 East for $250.00 on Aug.28,1846 from Edward Wiessner. Was she related to Nicholas Agnes?)

Sometime between 1846, when Michael Alff,Sr. died and Feb.28, 1848, Nicholas Agnes married widow Petronella Alff, but I was unable to locate a marriage record for them in Milwaukee County: From Nicholas Agnes to Petronella Agnes, "my second lawful wife, formerly wife of Michael Alff deceased," the S 59.92 acres more or less of Lot 1. Together, Nicholas and Pet­ ronella sold the N 20 acres of the NE^- NW^ Sec. 29 to Peter Decker (who had married Anna Catherine Agnes). Both above deeds were done on June 2, 1848.

Petronella(_ )Alff's husband, Michael Alff, Sr., died in 1846, nine days after his family's arrival in Milwaukee from Prussia. Two Alff children I was able to locate were John Michael and Christiana Elff. Christiana married Michael Agner April 22,1847 in Milwaukee.

The 1850 Belgium, Washington Co., Wise, census shows Peter Decker, age 37; wife Anna, age 40; Nicholas 9, Peter 8, Antony 7, Michael 4 and John P. age 2. Jacob and Barbara(Agnes)Schmidt, now of Cook Co., 111., to Avery Agnes on April 3, .1851 in consideration of $150.00 by Avery Agnes for the right, title and interest to an undivided 1/5th part of 55 acres conveyed by Nicholas Agnes to five of his children (Michael, Mary, Margaret and Eve Agnes and Barbara Schmidt) - land in Sec. 20 T8, the SW corner parcel; in the presence of Peter Smith and Peter Smith, Jr.

The land Avery and Alice/Elise Agnes owned in Sections 19,20 and 30, meeting at the intersection of the Milwaukee River, had been sold to Charles G. Everts and Lyman P.Swift "for a ditch to lead water from a mill to be erected on the east side of the river" (11/30/1850) and on Oct.8,1851, land "on which premises is a sawmill owned in part by Peter Bender subject to a mortgage of $1200.00" and "a strip of land lying west of and including the mill race and a strip of land on the east side of the mill race." The saw mill and mill race were located on the west side of present Sunny Point Road, north of Bender Road, in Glendale, Cottages built in the 1920fs and 30fs and later turned into today's year-round homes, are located between the river and that early mill race. The mill race, filled in, has become Sunny Point Lane. On Nov.21,1853 Pierre Decker and Anna Catherine Agnes, his wife, both of Ozaukee County, sold to Martin Bruss of Milwaukee County, for $300.00, the N 20 acres of Lot 1, being the land in the NEi NWi Section 29. •* Michael Alft sold to Christiana Agnes, wife of Michael Agnes, on March 28, 1854, for $700.00, 40 acres in the w£ NW^ Section 29 Town 8 Range 22E; Michael had purchased same from George and Mary Schmidt August 7,1846 for $550.00, "of which 25-27 acres had been cultivated." I do not know if the 1846 purchase was made by Michael Alft, Sr. prior to his 1846 death, or by his son, Michael, Jr., who would have been only age 16 in 1846.

By 1907, son John Agnes had not been heard from; Mary Daly then living in Johnson Creek, Wise. Each surviving heir received $816.33.

The property was located on the south side of W. Henry Clay Street between N. Port Washington Road and N. Lydell Avenue, now the site of the Milwaukee Gear Company. The house was located closer to Lydell Avenue (which did not exist in earlier years) than to Port Washington Road, but the driveway was off Port Washington Road.

Their son Ernst, and his wife Emma, rented the Rabe house in the 5300 block of N. Port Washington Road, but in later years moved into the Bachmann farm­ house. (From their granddaughter, Bernice Walters, 1985.)

"Murder of a Woman at Humboldt"

Milwaukee Sentinel, July 24, 1866; p.1, col.4

"On Thursday afternoon last, a woman named Elizabeth Hayes, residing in the town of Milwaukee, near Humboldt, was so severly injured by a man named Thomas Bare, that she died on Sunday night.

The circumstances were: A couple of dogs belonging to Mrs. Hayes ran into the field Bare was mowing. Bare started in pursuit with his scythe and cut one of them in two. Mrs. Hayes ran to rescue the other, when Bare told her if she did not clear out, he would carve her the same way he had her dog. She stooped to pick up the dog when he struck her with the point of his scythe, inflicting a terrible wound, which bled profusely. Mrs. Hayes started for the next field in which her husband was at work, but was pursued and knocked down by Bare. He either then struck her in the head with the heel of his scythe or his foot, injuring her spine severely.

The woman was taken to her house and her wounds dressed, but the flow of blood from her head cound not be staunched, and she bled profusely, until her death on Sunday night.

Coroner Ratsigger yesterday summoned a jury, which, after hear­ ing the evidence upon examination of the body, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to her death from injuries sustained at the hands of Thomas Bare. He was arrested and lodged in jail. The prisoner declares that the wounds inflicted were purely accidental and that he bore no malice towards her. All the parties formerly resided in this city."

I°A 13 Milwaukee Sentinel, Aug.7,1866 p.1 "The case of Thomas Bare, charged with the murder of Elizabeth Hayes, in Humboldt, was before the Grand Jury yesterday after­ noon and that body found the prisoner not guilty of any malic­ ious intent and not guilty of the charges.

Testimony revealed the fact that the woman was given to sudden outbursts of passion and her death probably resulted from one of these, produced by the dispute with Bare. It was also proved that the blow struck by Bare ws purely accidental and that, therefore, he could not be held for murder."

From Anson Waters Buttles's diary, dated Friday, July 27,1866:

"Heard yesterday in town that Thomas Bare is in jail for murder. Killed a neighbor's wife. He was Chair­ man of our town two years when I ws Clerk."

From Anson Mullie Buttles, a grandson, to Mimi Bird in August 1981.

THOMAS BARE - #6788 ADMINISTRATION dated 10/28/1886; he died in town of Milw., leaving widow Jane Bare, dau. Sarah Ann Schuman and Mary Maynard, sons James and Ralph Bare, all over 21 yrs. of age. His widow Jane died 5/15/1897. Sarah Schuman had Letters of Administration granted to her; Charles F. Maynard was to have them granted to him, but he refused. Bare left real estate valued at $8800.00; son Ralph has been in possession of the land and refuses to pay rent, it was tes­ tified. Bare!s funeral costs = $200.00 for monument and post, cemetery lot $13.50 and grave opening $2.00. He left no personal property.

Value = $800.00 per acre or $8800.00 total. Ralph Bare filed a claim of $347.18 against his father's estate for funeral expenses; it was disallowed. He was to also show cause as to why he should not pay rent to the administrator of the estate or else surrender up possession (Dec. 1888). The estate was divided equally among the heirs.

The reason I included the lease dated 1860, above, was to show that there were buildings on Johann Bauch's land. The Bauch's farmhouse still stands at 5007 N. Idlewild Ave., Whitefish Bay. I had presumed it was built 1863-65, but it may have been one of those buildings mentioned in the lease.

Bauch's farmland was located between Henry Clay St. and Fairmount Ave., Idlewild Ave. to Diversey Blvd. The house was built 48 ft. E of its present site and moved onto its new foundation in June 1926 when Idlewild Ave. was put through. The original front of the house was turned to face south; it became a side of the house and a new front entrance was built on the present east side of the house.

Peter Bender, born May 31, 1798, bought 60 acres of land for $500.00 in Manilus Township, Madison Co., NY in 1825. His first wife, according to family legend, was Sally Merrill, 'though there is some question as to her surname. She died 1827, leaving him with two daughters, Juliana born 1823, died 1904; married Albert 0. Perkins and Mary W., married Lucius Judson and lived in Raymond, Racine Co., Wise.

Peter married again, to Margaret Anguish, a cousin of his first wife; she had brothers Henry and Andrew. Peter and Margaret came to Racine, Wise, in 1844. In 1846, he established a general store on Milwaukee's South side, on Perry St., until 1851. The 1850 City of Milwaukee census shows the family living in the 5th Ward, with Peter listed as a merchant.

To Peter Bender on Nov. 23, 1850 for $600.00 for the N^ SW fractional £ section 20 T8 R 22E = 64.78 acres. (A deed dated Nov. 30, 1850 between Avery Agnes and Charles G. Everts and Lyman P.

Peter Bender built a grist mill on the west side of the river at the east end of Mill Road shortly after the dam was con­ structed. This was named Bender Superior Mills and until the Town of Milwaukee Town Hall was built in 1872 on the present site of the North Shore Water Filtration Plant, town meetings were held on the second floor of this mill. Peter and Margaret Bender had the following children:

Hiram born 10/15/1827 Manilus, NY John Anguish " 9/8/1832 Jacob H. " 1835 or 1836 Margaret Ann " 1838 William H. " 4/26/1840 Albert N. " 3/14/1845 Alfred N. " 3/14/1845 Albert and Alfred, twins, were born in the City of Milwaukee.

The Bender's first home on the west side of the river was of logs; three years before the Civil War, they built a substantial cream city brick house on the south side of Bender's Road between present Milwaukee River Parkway and the river. This house was razed in the 1930's.

Hiram Bender, born 1827, married Martha Ann Posson, who was born in the town of Wright, Schoharie Co., NY. They had:

All above children were born in the town of Milwaukee. Hiram and Martha's house was built by George Posson, Martha's father, at 1700 W. Bender Road. The house was razed in the spring of 1987 for construction of Laurel Oaks, a retirement apartment complex. John Anguish Bender, born 1832, married Matilda Kinsman Aug.7, 1855 in the town of Granville, WI. Her family lived south of Bender's Rd., on the east side of the Milwaukee River, across the road from the Town of Milwaukee Cemetery. Matilda ws born 4/11/1836 in Northfield, VT. John and Matilda moved to Ocono- mowoc, WI, where she died 4/11/1926 and he on 8/7/1934, aged 102 years, lacking 5 weeks!

One of their daughters, Sue Bender Spaulding, wrote the Bender family history in 1957, from which much of this information comes.

Jacob H. Bender, born 1835 or 1836, married Rozalia(Rosa)Koge, daughter of Joseph and Mary Koge, on Nov. 25, 1871. She was born 2/27/1850 in Prague, Czechoslovakia and her family settled in present Whitefish Bay. Jacob and Rosa had:

y and neither Conrad or Charles are shown at the same time on either the 1860 or 1870 censuses; their ages are close enough to assume they are the same person. But unless Conrad and Christiana divorced, then re­ married as Carl and Christiana, it appears she marr. a 2nd time to another Boesel man. More research has to be done to clarify that.)

The following marriage records for the above mentioned children show different mother's names - both first and maiden names- although the.maiden name is always a close approximation to the maiden name in each case. It is conceiveable that Wilhelmina Borchartfs name was Alwine Louisa Wilhelmina; it is also possible that Wilhelm Borchart had married sisters.

Buel and Rhoda Brown sold the 76.47 acres above to Augustus Wussow for $375.00. Buel and Rhoda settled on their land in Sec. 29, on the S side of present Bender's Rd. - known, however, in those earlier years as "Brown's Road" - farmland they later increased to 48+ acres between the Milwaukee River on the west and Jean Nicolet Rd. onthe est side.

Buel and Rhoda had a daughter, Martha, who had married Ephraim R. Keene. On 1/25/1845, Buel and Rhoda Brown and Reuben M. and Aner Keene sold to John Catlin Lot 2 in Sec. 28 (in present Whitefish Bay) - land along Lake Michigan. Was "Aner"Keene another Brown daughter or in some other way related to the

An infant was buried in Town of Milwaukee Cemetery - Willie Brown 10/8/1865 to 11/26/1865 - I believe he was a child of James and Delia Brown. There are no marriage records in Milw.County for Charles or Caroline Brown (children of Buel and Rhoda) through the 1875 marriage records - they may have married in other counties.

Widow Rhoda(Edwards)Brown married again, on June 30, 1863 at 9 p.m. to widower Alfred Lipscomb (an early Whitefish Bay settler), son of John and Hannah(MacDonald)Lipscomb, born Chath­ am, Canada July 4, 1815.

Mr. Lipscomb either died by the 1870 census or that marriage was not successful, for Rhoda and her dau., Maria, are shown on the 1870 census as living with the James Brown family: 1870 town of Milwaukee census Brown, James 30 farmer Wise.

Buel and Rhoda Brown's first home, of logs, was built on the south side of former Brown's Rd. (present Bender Rd.) near a creek on the east side of the Milwaukee River. In 1862, Rhoda had the house built, still standing, at 625 W. Bender Rd. and it was in this home she lived with son James, and his family until her death in 1891.

The following letter, dated 10/17/1875 is included for the inter­ esting price information, house constrution at the 820 W. address and local gossip.

To Cephas Buttles; Randolph, Dodge Co., Wis., from Anson Waters Buttles: Home - Oct.17,1875 "Dear Son, I suppose you will be very much surprised to receive a line from me. On reading your last letter I was surprised to see that you have an opinion that I do not care or think about you. You do not exactly use those words but from the tenor of them it means so. The girls or some of the folks are writing all the time and it never struck me that you would feel neglected or I certainly would hve written you and most assuredly feel more anxiety about you now than when you were always under my eye. And I feel proud of you for the ambition you have in trying to make your way through this rough world.

$> Were I to commence the world again, I would travel a different road from the one I have and having had the experience, now can judge and see where I have missed things and know when and where to give advice to the young. I feel certain that if you follow the course you are now pursuing and keep the same resolutions, you will undoubtedly one day make your mark in the world. And will be an honor both to yourself and your friends. I am certainly astonished at the progress you have made in letter writing. Your composition is very good and your spelling is 200% better of which I feel pleased, for I do abhor a poor speller. Still everyone is liable to mistakes, but enough of that at present.

Now, I suppose you would like to hear of some of the matters and things at home and around our locality. To begin with, we are all well and feeling happy, as usual. The Holland boys threshed for us and we had 288 bushels of wheat, 103 of oats, 30 bushels peas, 34 bushels Buckwheat and 150 bushels of potatoes. Our corn would have been a success if the frost had not got ahead of it. We left it on the stalks as long as we could to let it ripen. But it is now getting so late that we have part of it cut; the greater part is very fine but not quite as hard as it should be.

Uncle Gust had two potatoes sent to him last spring. I got one of them, weighed 2£ lbs., made 18 hills of it, planted it and this fall when dry, dug them and made 2£ bushels heaping full, with some 4 or 5 potatoes over - some of them very large. I will keep them for seed, do not know the name of them. Grandpa Mullie, from a little stack of wheat, thrashed 105 bushels. He felt very grand the day they threshed and after they got done and were all in the house, he said - Well, I feel so good about the wheat I guess I must drink a little whiskey. Mama and I could not keep from laughing.

Van den Heuvels have 130 bushels of onions and Mrs. Van den Heuvel has a young daughter. I now have something to tell you about your very particular friend, little McElroy. He got too much beer at Krocker's last Tues. night and between 11 and 12 o'clock at night went to Mrs. Sellmanns; got through the window and went upstairs to the little girls' bed (one 10, the other 12 years old) and wanted to take some improprietie with them, but they called their mother and that ended it. He offered first $5, then $10, but I issued a warrant for him. I was not as hard with him as if he had not been misled. Someone told him to go there and it would be all right, but he was mistaken. I made him pay $13 and that will be a lesson for him. Came very near to sending him to the House of Correction. A bright boy. (Buttles was Justice of Peace at this time. Krocker's saloon was near the present Silver Spring House on Green Bay Rd. Sellmanns lived on W. Green Tree Rd., near River Rd. and VandenHeuvels lived on the Port Rd., near the Mullies, in present Fox Point. The "Holland" boys were young Dutch

But I have come to the conclusion not to build this fall but get the cellar dug and walled up, and get the lumber out this fall and winter. Don't you think that would be a good plan? Will get the money for about 5-6 years and will pay it back if we have no draw back. But should anything happen to us, you must all try and help save the home, for I am determined to have a comfortable one some of these days, if God spares me and gives me health. We are having exceedingly cold weather just at present. The ice has been an inch thick down at the spring, but that is always the coldest place in this county.

I suppose you know Mar(Marion)Juneau is teaching school in the city. She came home night before last and her brother, Frank, took her home this P.M.

Last Monday night about 7 p.m. Fred Isenring and his bride came up in a carriage and I united them in marriage. Are a fine looking couple. You know his mother always thought she was a fine woman and would make Fred a good wife, but just the week before he was married, she got angry and would not come to see them married. Some say that Anna Isenring made all the trouble; they wanted him to marry a German girl. Is it not awful? I think so.

I suppose the girls told about the threshing machine. John Koehn got affronted about that trial, I suppose, and so this fall they tried the machine a little, then got angry and hauled it on the road. Then went down and bought a new one with Fred Jecks(Goecks) and left me out. I am very glad to get rid of them; they did not thresh long before they had a muss. Hermann sold his share to Garret Meyer, then they had

# ^ at' 2 or 3 musses - so let them work. Kitty and Dolly (horses) begin to look better now and they drive nicely. The colt did not do very well in Jim Dean's pasture, but has improved some since being brought home. The old pony looks good but will always be lame. He and Rocker (another pony?) went to Milwaukee and back this p.m. in 3 hours.

The German teacher's daughter got a certificate and will teach this winter down at Messer's School House and Kate will begin the 1st of Nov. Morris is making great strides to get elected Milw.County Superintendent of Schools. Got out some election cards in German with David Morris....the Protestant Candidate for Milw.Co. Superintendent of Schools. I told him that was wrong but he would not listen or believe it. He will teach at the Lindwurm school this winter. He will not be elected by any means. (The "Messer" school was School District #5 - the later Green Tree School; Mr. Messer was apparently the teacher. The Lindwurm school was District #10 school, on land donated by the Lindwurms, just south of the C&NW RR on Port Washing­ ton Rd., W side of road, south of Henry Clay St.)

Tell Mr. Brown I should be happy to form his acquaintance and perhaps it will take place. Should very much like to visit that County although Uncle Paul Juneau and I had a trip through there before you were born, in 1856 - but I suppose the County has changed much since. (Dodge County, Wise.)

Grandpa Buttles is still around but likes the stove this cold weather. Grandpa and Grandma Mullie are well and expecting Aunt Jannette from 111. every day. Uncle John's folks are all well,and last, but not least, we are all well and send love. Mama says you must dress warm and not take cold. You will have very hard work to read this as I have been writing too much today. Am tired, so Good Bye from your loving father.

A. W. Buttles Excerpts from Anson W.Butties' 1876 diary: Thurs., June 29,1876 Promised Hiram Bender I would come down and do some surveying for him; did not like the job for the reason the land lies a half mile on the Milwaukee River bank, very steep and heavy swamp to go through. However, I took my tools and went down. Cornelia and Julia (Mrs. Buttles and daughter) went along to keep Mrs. Peter Bender company. I worked faithful all day; got my feet wet. Besides I did not get done and must go down again in the morning and try to finish it up, if a favorable day. Drove the old pony down. Cornelia says she had a pleasant visit. Julia says she is very tired. Did not get home until after dark. Has been a very warm day but cool this evening. Friday, June 30, 187 I was very tired last night. Is awful hard work for me to walk so much now, but I must stick to it as long as I can earn all the money I can honestly. Tony took me down to Benders this a.m. and brought the team back. I told him he need not come after me as I could not tell when I would get done and would walk home. (In 1876, Anson Buttles was about 56 yrs.old) Made a finish about 4 o'clock and left my instruments with Hiram Bender and walked home. You bet I was glad when I got home. Cut across lots in some places; awful cold tonight. Sunday, July 2, 1876 This p.m. William Bender and his wife came along and stopped for awhile. I have been handling the pen and pencil about all day and very busy, too. Am making a plat of Bender's farm; will lay out part of it in Lots. (William Bender, son of settler Peter Bender, was father attorney Walter Bender. Bender Park, in South Milwaukee, was named for Walter Bender) Monday, July 3, 1876 I had some notices to put up this morning which I Wa$ compelled to do, being the 1st day required by law. So I done my duty and also had a return to make to our town treasurer concerning the State School Fund, which I also accomplished. Then drove around Bender's mill and got some feed. Must keep the horses up as they are looking well now and would like to keep them so. For Bender surveying on June 29 and 30, 1876 - $15.00.

Hiram and Lavona Chipman are buried in the Town of Milwaukee Cemetery with the Consauls. In 1841 a Harmon I. Chipman owned Lot 11 Blk.9 town of Milw, on the W side of the Milwaukee River. Was this Hiram or a relative of his? To Alonzo Chipman, 6/16/1849 for Lot 3 Blk.30 in 5th Ward, for $100.00. (This was in Walker's Point. Alonzo was perhaps a brother of Hiram Chipman.) Both William Consaul and Hiram Chipman were ship carpenters and living in Walker's Point by 1850, where the Wolf & Davidson shipyard was located - no doubt they were employed there. Hiram Chipman marr. Lavona Serale/Searle 5/14/1826. She was from Milton, Vermont; he born 11/2/1800 Essex, Vt., son of Thomas.

Hiram and Lavona's daughter, Sarah Louise, marr. 10/24/1858 to James Gahagen. She died of consumption 10/11/1862, aged 23 yrs.11 mo. (Milw.Sentinel, 10/13/1862 p.1 col.6) Either James had died prior to Sarah, or they were divorced, for she is shown back in the Chipman household on the 1860 census as Sarah Chipman.

"History of Milwaukee" p.1503 states: "Daniel W. Chipman was born in Vermont; went to Erie, Penn. and in 1846 came to Milw. In 1856 he went to Calif., remaining until 1859 when he returned to Milw. During the war he was in the naval service 2 years."

Alonzo Chipman enlisted in the U.S.Navy in Feb. 1862 until June 1863 when he landed in . At that time, he deserted his wife to stay out East. (Divorce record, Vol.30 #536, Circuit Court Proceedings, Plaintiff Index, Milw. County). In Nov. 1865, Lydia applied for a divorce on the grounds of desertion, stating they had two sons, Edgar E., age 16 (born Sept. 1849) and Theodore F., age 14 (born Sept. 1851). They were shown on the 1850 town of Waupaun, Fond du Lac Co., Wis. census (Dist.9). Nancy A. Pearson, a married woman living in City of Milw., was a witness for Lydia, having known her for 18 yrs. and Alonzo for 20 yrs. (Nancy was a dau. of Charles G. and Catherine (Norton)Everts. Charles G. Everts was a brother of Hannah M. Everts, the 2nd wife of William Consaul. Lydia(Consaul)Chipman was a daughter of William Consaul. Divorce granted 5/11/1866. Lydia marr. again on 10/11/1868 to Anthony Dauville, a farmer, living in Greenfield, Wis. Lydia died "by hanging," age 41 yrs. in April 1870, as shown on the 1870 Milw. Co. census death record.

$ $ Hi CONSAUL The Consaul family came from New York, as shown on early Milw. Co. census records. The only Consaul families in New York on the early censuses were the Consaulus/Consaul families origina­ ting in Schenectady. "Genealogies of First Settlers of Schenectady" by Johathan Pear­ son, pgs. 48-49, list Consauls as follows: Emanuel Consaul was in Schenectady as early as 1684. In 1767, two families by that name lived neighbors, not far from the intersection of the Lisha's kil and the north manor line, probably on what is now called the "Consaul road." Johannes Consaul of "Nistigioene" marr. Machtelt, dau. of Johannes Henstraat, in Albany 4/20/1765. They had 6 children baptized in Albany and 4 in Schenectady. Son Johannes, bpt. 11/5/1767 in Schenectady, marr. Viney Manning. Johannes and Viney(Manning)Consaul had, in Schenectady, 4 children: Johannes 1793, William 1796, Magdalena 1799 and Lydia 1801. (They probably had others elsewhere.)

William Consaul, born 4/17/1796 according to the Consaul family Bible, marr. Eliza Henry on 2/16/1816, probably in New York. The 1820 New York census shows John (Johannes above), his son John, Jr. and son William, as living in Steuban, Oneida Co.,

Descendants state the Consauls of Milwaukee went to Toledo, Ohio prior to moving here. The 1840 Lucas Co., Ohio census shows William Consaul and John Consaul, Jr. on page 267 in town of Oregon - Oregon was outside of Toledo, Ohio.

Eliza(Henry)Consaul, born 3/23/1797 died in April 1837. William then marr. Hannah Everts 8/12/1837. William and Eliza had, according to the Consaul family Bible: Lovina 12/21/1817 William, Jr. 7/22/1819, died 8/2/1819 William Henry 2/13/1820 Joseph 12/17/1821, died 7/10/1822 Margaret Ann 8/16/1822 Joseph James 8/17/1824 Lydia 12/3/1828 Gertrude 11/12/1830 Jane Ann 10/20/1832, died 12/21/1832 Theodore 12/15/1833 Mary Jane 8/15/1836, died 9/18/1838

The 15 acres begin on the N line of S^ SW^- and extend from Lake Michigan to the W line of said section, being of an unequal width with the whole length of said £ section. Hannah M. Consaul to Gallus Isenring 9/1855 for $600.00, 15 acres in N^ s£ SVl£ Sec. 28 - a house probably had been built on the land to increase the price from $180.00 in 1853 to $600 in 1855.

Consaul, William H. 29 carpenter New York Ruth 26 England Eliza A. 1 Wise. William H. and Ruth Shouler/Shoater were marr. 4/2/1846, from Consaul Bible record; no record in Milw. Co., per­ haps marr. in Ohio. The above three families were living next to each other on the 1850 census in Walker's Point. To William H. Consaul, 9/29/1853, for $300.00, from Charles E. and Helen Wunderly, the city lots #4 and 5 in Blk.113 5th Ward in the City of Milw. (this was in Walker's Point). Alonzo and Lydia(Consaul)Chipman to William H. Consaul on 10/23/1854 for $150.00 for Lot 14 Blk.59 5th Ward in Walker's Point.

Also living next to the above three families are the Hiram and Lavona Chipman family, who will become related to the Consauls

& •§ lUr through their children's marriages. On 8/15/1854, warranty deed; to William H. Consaul for $1200.00 from Alfred and Maria Lipscomb - the S part of SVl£ SVl£ Sec. 2 and the S part of Lot 4 Sec. 28 = 35.58 acres, subject to lease to Lorenzo Pearson and to the unexpired term of the tenancy of said Pearson and also subject to a certain mortgage to Thomas L.S.Monteath for $150.00 and subject to the unexpired term of a lease to Augustus Richter upon a portion of the premises. Mortgage was released 12/24/1863.

Some of William and Eliza Consaul's children can be traced:

Joseph marr. Lydia A. Worthman 11/12/1848 Milw. Lydia marr. Alonzo Chipman, son of Hiram and Lavona Chipman 8/7/1847 in Milw. Lived in Waupun, Wis. 1850; they were later divorced. She marr. 2nd to Anthony Dauville in Milw. and "died by hanging" April 1870. She is buried in Forest Home Cemetery as Lydia Consaulus. Theodore became a sea capt. on Lake Michigan; marr.Martha ;they had Henry,Ella and Theodore. Lived next to Hiram and Lavona Chipman on 1860 census in Walker's Point. Susan M. marr. Daniel Webster Chipman, son of Hiram and Lavina Chipman; she died 4/2/1881 age 41 yrs. "of paralysis". Her death record states her father was William Consaul, that she was born 9/3/1839 in Ohio. ( The problem with Susan M. Consaul Chipman is that William Consaul's will dated 1855 does not list her among his children - nor is she acknowledged as a daughter of Hannah Consaul, William's wife, in Hannah's 1861 intestate proceed­ ings. Is it possible Susan was a child of William's son, William H. Consaul?)

Town of Milwaukee Cemetery Consaul, William "died March 17, 1855" (barely ledgible now) William Consaul - WILL - Vol.2 p.348 Milw. Co. dated 3/12/1855, witnessed by Stephen Everts(son of Charles G.

She died 3/1861 and is probably buried with husband William Consaul in the Town of Milwaukee Cemetery - there is an old, weathered and broken stone next to his grave. Probate filed 7/18/1861 by Charles G. Everts of town of Milwaukee. He testified that she died in town of Milw. last March 1861, without a last will or testament. She left no husband or children, mother or father, and he is her brother and next of kin. She left as property a note(mortgage) for $600.00. She had a lot in Appleton, Wise, (difficult to read the lot's description.) He petitioned to be appointed administrator of her estate. (And no mention of Susan M. Counsal Chipman.)

The Consaul farmland was present Lake View Ave. S to Silver Spring Dr., St. Monica Blvd. to Lake Michigan. In 1864, William H. Consaul and his brother, Capt. Theodore, began commercial pound-net fishing in Whitefish Bay; it was later sold to William's son-in-law, Lewis Scheife, who then supplied the Whitefish Bay Resort (and other establishments) with whitefish.

Silver Spring Dr. and may have logs underneath the siding. Mary Jane and Frank W. Consaul were both born in that house. Mrs. Lowry wrote to me in 1981 stating her mother and siblings had put new shingles on that house when her mother was a youngster, which places the time about late 1860's.

The William H.Consaul house at 5668 N. St. Monica Blvd. dates from the early 1870s. The original portion had been built as a bunkhouse for farmhands, later converted to a home. The house at 5654 N. St. Monica Blvd. was conveyed to Emma(Consaul)Luecke in 1891 by Ruth Consaul. The original portion had a later addi­ tion added. The Lueckes moved to Michigan and conveyed the house to Mary Jane(Consaul) and Lewis H.Scheife 4/4/1920. The house at 5682 N. St. Monica Blvd. was built in the middle to late 1880's by William T. Consaul. Frank Consaul built his house at 5700 N. St. Monica Blvd. about 1893. Susanna(Consaul)Marsh and her sister, Ida(Consaul)Carney had their homes on E. Silver Spring Dr., on the present sites of Fitzgerald Pharmacy and the Fox-Bay Theatre building.

It also appears that Friedrich's wife, Fried­ ericke, shown on the 1860 census, was a 2nd wife. I asume "Linah" on the 1860 census IS Carolina, born 1849 on the above marriage record.)

Eckenfels, Anton 40 farmer Baden Haudchild 30 Saxony Charles 4 Wise Louise 8 II Emma 6 mo.

\p- $ m Kilian 2 Anton 9 It appears Anton, Jr. and his family had moved just prior to this census taking and his parents had begun to give out the son's family's information. However, Christian and Mich, are missing from Anton and "Haudchild"s household; Emma and Louise are included but not in Antonio, Sr.'s account! "Haudchild" was the phoenetic spelling of Theresa's maiden name.

Georg Eckenfels, born Offenback, Baden, Germany, son of Matthias and Maria Eckenfels, marr. 12/26/1863 to Mrs. Bertha(Kugeler) Hett, dau. of Christian and Friedericke Kugeler. I included this record because Eckenfels is an unusual name and Georg was probably related to Anton. It gives his place of birth, which may be Anton's also.

The elder Eckenfels weren't shown on the 1870 census and were perhaps deceased by that time.. They may have been buried on their land - a common practice in early days - or, if buried in the Town of Milw. Cemetery, as their son and his wife are, their gravestones have disappeared.

This was the same land he'd paid down on in 1855. He settled on the W side of Green Bay Ave. just S of Capitol Dr., W to 13th St. From "History of Milwaukee County from its First Settlement to 1895" by Howard L. Conrad, pgs.284-285, excerpted: "Adolph Ehlers was born Sept.9,1818 Hanover, Germany. He came to Amer. 1846 and on to Milw. He helped build Braun's Brewery, parent of present Blatz Brewery. He was a carpenter by trade and built many of the first buildings erected in Milw. He settled in Milwaukee Township 1848 on a farm.

The vault was broken into by vandals and, over the years, slowly disintegrated. The bodies were reburied, below the ground, immediately to the west of the earlier mauso­ leum, but no markers exist today and no records exist of this. I was told this by Anson M. Buttles, whose grandfather kept meticulous diaries for 50 years about the Town of Milw., as a surveyor, school teacher, district clerk, farmer and land- owner. Anson lived in an Ehlers house in Fox Point, on Navajo Road. The records for the Town of Milwaukee Cemetery burned in a fire in 1916-17 in the Schuetz's Inn/house.

John Ehlers, son of Henry and Lizzie, above, built the house now located at 6126 N. Port Washington Rd. It was built on the dividing line of Glendale and Whitefish Bay and moved directly west to its present site in the late 1920's or early 1930's. Additions and remodeling took place after that time. Bill Ehlers, son of Henry and Lizzie, above, lived on W. Good Hope Rd., on the NE corner of Pheasant Ln. and Good Hope Rd. - he built the brick house on that site. Henry, son of Henry and Lizzie, and his wife, Hattie, moved into the old small Ehlers farmhouse on E. Bradley Rd., N side of the road at 100 E. Bradley. This house, now vastly remodeled, was built in the 1880's and replaced the log house that stood in the front yard of present 164 E. Bradley Rd. The 1st remodel­ ing of 100 E. took place in 1928.

Milw. Sentinel, Sunday, Aug. 17,1873: Johann Ehlers, who resided on a farm about 9 miles from the city on the (Port)Washington road, town of Milw., hung himself from a beech tree in his woods. His wife had seen him walk into the woods; later, when his son came home, he went out to look for his father and discovered him. A number of their neighbors congregated and Constable Meiser was notified. On his arrival, he cut the noose and lowered the body. Judge Anson W. Buttles was also notified and on reaching the scene, Buttles impanelled a jury. After careful delibera­ tion, they rendered a verdict of suicide. The widow stated she would pay funeral expenses but would not have the corpse in the house, nor would his near-by neighbors, when asked. They spoke of ill-luck falling upon a house containing the body of a suicide. The Constable ordered the body taken to the city, placing the body in the morgue. Burial was in Union Cemetery. Ehlers was a comparatively well-to-do farmer, owning two farms of at least 20 acres. He had attempted suicide by hang­ ing about one year ago, but was discovered in time.

1X7 ADDITIONAL EHLERS INFO:

To John Ehlers from Johann F. and Elizabeth Wilke, on 5/2/1864 for 37^ acres for $1300.00, being 12£ rods wide E and W and 160 rods long N and S; the W 1Z£ acres of E 47^ acres of the SE^ See ^9 T8 R22 E and the E 35 acres of the SE^ Sec. 9 T8, except for 3 acres on SE of said 35 acres, deeded to Capt. Morrison and l£ acres deeded to A. D. Koeslag, which includes land from the top of the bluff on the East section line of See 9 and the 3 acres of Capt. Morrison on the south.

(This land wastetween Dean and Bradley Roads, in present Fox Point, on the south and north sides of present Fox Lane. The land continuing down the bluff belonged to Morrison and Koeslag.)

John Ehlers committed suicide in 1873. The house at 1717 E. Fox Lane was probably built by him for tenant farmers - John and his family lived in a log cabin at 100 E. (now 164 E.) Bradley Rd. The Wilkes' were shown only on the 1850 census and then moved to the City of Milwaukee; undoubtedly they lived in a log cabin, as did most of the settlers. At the time of the sale of land by the Wilkes to Ehlers, the Wilkes' were living in the town of Franklin.

Carl Ehlers, born 1858, died in 1891. The present owners of 1717 E. Fox Lane say the abstract shows Carl as being an owner and after he died, Henry (Carl's brother) owned the house and land. Henry also built and lived in the house at 8027 N. Navajo Rd., Fox Point. This house was built in the late 1890s or early 1900s. Henry married 1881 to Lizzie (Louise) Schoof and probably built the house for her. EHLERS, MISC. 1870 town of Milw. census Ehlers, Joachim 66 farmer Mecklenberg Elisa 54 - wife William 19

The logs for the house were sawn at the Bender saw mill, located S of this house, on the E side of the Milw. River. The house has since been re-sided. There were several Eschrich families in the area; since the name is unusual, they were probably related. Anna S. Eschrich, widow of August W. Eschrich, deceased, died 6/25/1895.

County for them. Stephen Everts and Sylvester Abbey placed a monument on the shore of Lake Michigan, on Lot 2 of the NVl£ Sec. 28 T8 N R22 E, at a point 23 rods S of the N line of said Lot 2 (on the Everts' land) and legibly inscribed on the monument was: "S.

Said monument to form a square of 40" at the bottom, 20" at the top, with three girts; one near the ground, one in the middle and one at the top of each side, to which boards are vertically and securely nailed, being entirely en­ closed." Vol.90 p.602 Real Estate Deeds.

The monument designated the point of beach from which they intended to proceed into the lake. The monument consisted of 4 timber posts 12' long and stood within 12 rods of the water line. The fishing may have been done with William H. and Capt. Theo­ dore Consaul, whose step-mother was Hannah M.(Everts)Consaul. She was the wife of William Consaul and a sister of Charles G. Everts. William H. Consaul and his brother, Theodore, were commercial pound net fishermen in Whitefish Bay.

Lavona and Hiram Chipman's son had marr. a Consaul dau. and those 3 families (Chipman, Consaul and Everts) had been close friends from their Walker Point days.

Ernst Timpel and John Dickmann were his appraisers, and were the immediate east and west neighbors of the Geilfuss'. Witnesses to will were Charles Oertel and Gottfried Meiser. (From reading the above dates, it appears that John was injured 6/1 or 6/2, 1877 and while dying, wrote his will, dated 6/2/1877. It would seem too much of a coincidence to write his will on 6/2/1877 and then be injured the next day, but it could have been just that simple.)

From Miss Virginia Hageman, daughter of Hulda (Grams) Hageman and granddaughter of Fred and Anna Grams to Mimi Bird, Sept. 1992: Anna (Engel) Grams came from a large family of 11 or 12; she came to Milw. with another family as a nursemaid. Her brother, Fred Engel, also came alone to Milw. and the rest of the Engel family stayed in Germany. However, I wonder if she had Anna Engel confused with Annie Grams, shown on the 1905 Vill. of Whitefish Bay census as age 18, a domestic living with the Elten family.

Also from Virginia Hageman - John and Rosina Grams were buried in the Town of Milw. Union Cemetery, with two of their grandchildren, in John and Rosina"s plot. The grandchildren's gravestones still exist: "Baby" 1889 - 1889 and Louis 1886 - 1886. They were children of Fred and Anna(Engel)Grams.

St. John's Lutheran Church also has a record of Emma Gramm, dau. of Friedrich and Anna, nee Engel, Gramm, born Dec. 31, 1875, died Oct. 22, 1885, age 13 yrs. However, she does not appear on the 1880 census.

Gustav's home was built on Port Washington Rd. at the N end of present Bay Shore Shopping Center. When the shopping center was built, Gustav's son, Harvey, had the house moved to the W side of the road; 1-43 expressway did not exist at that time. Several years later, when the freeway was built, the house was again moved, to its present location at 5457-59 N. Navajo Rd., Glendale. Built as a single family brick house, it became a duplex. Family members joked about leaving the house on wheels for its next move! Edwin R. Grober had a duck pond on the Grober land, E side of Port Washington Rd., on site of present Bay Shore Mall, created when the family sold the sand and later the gravel on the land.

1818 to 1909 ISENRING 1850 town of Milw. census Isenring, Gallus 24 farmer Switzerland He is living with the Mullie family at this census taking, in present Fox Point - on the site of Dunwood School on Port Washington Rd. Family history says Gallus met his wife on the ship they were on coming to the United States and that they married 2/22/1851. However, there is no marriage record I could find in Milw. Co. His wife was Wilhelmina Zetteler, perhaps a sister of Tobias T. Zetteler, who also settled in present Fox Point.

The 1855 State census for Milw. Co., Town 8 shows Gallus Isenring with 3 males, 2 females in the family, four of whom were foreign born. Very confusing when compared with the above family history,but perhaps his or her parents lived with them briefly, to account for the extra two foreign born people - or other relatives.

From "History of Milwaukee", Chicago: Western Historical Co.,1881,p.1493: Gallus Isenring was born 4/7/1826 and came to Milw. 1847. He worked on a farm for 3 yrs., then opened a grocery store and saloon on Port Washington Rd., which he continued for 4 yrs. (This was on the SW corner of Green Tree and Port Rds.) He bought a farm in which he lived for 11 yrs., sold this and moved back to Milw. where he again opened a dry goods and grocery store, on Third St. He continued in business there for about 10 yrs., then became proprietor of a saloon at 679 Ninth St. (old numbering). When in Town of Milw., Gallus was Road Commissioner and Constable for 2 yrs., Town Treasurer in 1859 and County Super­ visor in 1862." Gallus' wife was the dau. of Wynand John B. and Annie K.(Peters)de Zetteler, born Rotterdam, Holland. Gallus and Wilhelmina's son, Fred. G. Isenring, became the Village of Whitefish Bay's first president between 1892 and 1895.

Birth records of Milw. Co. Vol.K, pg.125-127 Isenring, Gallus and Wilhelmina: Fred 4/1/1854; Wynand 1/16/1856; Annie 7/6/1858; Maria Elizabeth 10/26/1861; Jan William 12/24/1863 (who switched his names around to become William J.) A son, Gallus, b and d 1852.

Gallus and his wife lived above or in the rear of the saloon located on the SW corner of Green Tree and Port WashingtonRds. and rented their quarters there. The tavern was named Gruen Baum - German for Green Tree - but no one appears to know if the tavern or the road were there first. Gallus was the saloon keeper there for 3 or 4 yrs.

X fc 3s/ To Gallus Isenring 9/5/1855 from Hannah M. Consaul, both of town of Milw. (she was recently widowed) for $600.00 for 15 acres of the S part N part of SVl£ SVl£ Sec. 28 and Lot 4 of the same Section, N of R22 E, being part of 35 acres deeded by Alfred Lipscomb to C. G. Evert, being of equal width and running from the W line of the above section to Lake Michigan = 15 acres. This was land between St. Monica Blvd. and Lake Michigan, LakeView to Carlisle Ave. in present Whitefish Bay. Family history says they lived there 11 yrs. in a log cabin. Gallus held several public offices while in the Town of Milw. - he was constable in 1856, road commissioner in 1857, town teasurer 1859 and county board member 1862. He also served on the District #10 School Board; this was a school located on the grounds of the Town of Milw. Cemetery in the 6000 block of N. Port Washington Rd. On 5/4/1866 Gallus and his family sold their farm on present LakeView Ave., to Jozias LeFebre and moved to the City, where he operated a grocery, dry goods and flour/feed store at 614 N. Third St. (present 1840 N. 3rd St.); the family also lived at that address. In 1871 he moved his store to the W side of that street- to 631 N. 3rd (old numbering) until 1876, when he moved to 679 N. 3rd St.(old number) and again operated a saloon and grocery store. He lived there until 1889, while his son, Fred G., continued the store at 631 N. 3rd St. Fred. G. Isenring, a grocer, son of Gallus and M.H. Isenring, born Milw. Co., living 631 Third St., Milw., marr. 10/11/1875 to Hepworth S. Chandler, dau. of H. B. and M.A.Chandler at the home of Justice of Peace Anson W.Buttles, town of Milw.

Mary was born 12/11/1876 and was also known as Mattie. Fred became the proprietor of the Pabst owned Whitefish Bay Resort when it opened in June 1889 and the Isenring family lived on the grounds of the resort from spring until fall. In Nov. 1884, Fred had been elected to the State Legislature to represent the 10th Distrit. In June 1892, the Village of Whitefish Bay was incorporated and in the election immediately following, Fred was elected as the 1st village president - and was twice re-elected. Fred was also a sheriff of Milw. Co. and as such, conducted Sheriff's Sales of land that had been fore-closed or when taxes hadn't been paid. He was also a land developer, buying land for three subdivisions in the village of Whitefish Bay.

(Widower John married his first wife's half-sister, Emma Dethlefs. His mother-in-law, Dorothea(Hilger)Wussow had also been widowed and married second to John/Hans Dethlefs. Their daughter, Emma, was 19 years younger than her new husband.)

The following information came from Mrs. Irma(Kuetemeyer)Rahn Praefke to me in 1982. John Kuetemeyer and first wife, Mary, lived on his parents' farmland, in present Bayside. After his father, George, and John's wife, Mary, died and John had remarried, he sold his farmland to his sister and her husband - Mary and John Wm.Laun. The Laun home still stands on the former Kuetemeyer land, on the E side of Port Washington Rd. a little south of Fairy Chasm Rd. John and his new wife went to live with her parents, on the Wussow/Dethlefs farm. It was located on the E side of Range Line Rd. between Dean and Brown Deer Rds. Their first two chil­ dren were born there. In 1893, John and Emma purchased a tavern, formerly managed by Mr. Wetzel the previous 20 years, and begun by Gallus Isenring in 1854. It was on the SW corner of Green Tree and Port Washing­ ton Rds., named the Gruen Baum Tavern (Green Tree). Gallus Isenring had sold the tavern to Martin Gottfried Bruss.

The rest of the Kuetemeyer children were born in this

&tf 3^ tavern/home: their names (and ages as of 1984) were Irma, 86 yrs., Adella age 85; Meta 81; Fred(Fritz) who died age 16 in 1905 and Fillmore, who died age 43 yrs. The Kuetemeyers sold the tavern in 1918 and John built a new home, still standing, on the SW corner of the 1-43 south on-ramp and Good Hope Rd. The home was built of wood, later stuccoed, and later still, nearly inundated with dirt from the construction of the new bridge overpass at Good Hope Rd. and widening of Good Hope Rd. John Kuetemeyer died in 1928. Emma lived to age 102 years, spending her last years in the Glendale Nursing Home (Green Tree Health Care Center now) which had been built on the earlier Kuetemeyer farmland and tavern site. John and son Fred had been buried in the Town of Milw. Cemetery; Emma later had them reburied in Valhalla Cemetery. John and Maria(Wussow)Kuetemeyer's son George marr. Dora Schlehein. George died in 1953; by 1983, Dora was living in Luther Manor. She died there age 101 yrs. 10/6/1984, survived by sons Paul(Margaret) and George(MaryAnn) and a daughter-in- law, Rosemary. Dora was also buried in Valhalla, as was George.

This was between St. Monica Blvd. and Lydell Ave. on the N side of present Devon St. in Whitefish Bay.

There was a two story cream city brick house the Langschwagers later moved from somewhere E on their property to a new founda­ tion at 5220 N. Lydell Ave. It may have been a house the Pagels had built; that house was razed in the early 1960's and a new house was built on the site.

County taking over this land as Lincoln Park, by 1891 the Lindwurm Park Land Co. existed and the area was known as Lindwurm Park. Immediately S of the existing C&NW RR elevated trestle tracks crossing Port Washington Rd. in the 5100 block, District #10 SchoolHouse had been built on the W side of the road on leased/Land from Lindwurms. It was razed in the 1920s. When built, the RR tracks crossed the road and were not elevated; that elevation took place in the late 1920's. In the 1940's, the Milw. River was dredged in this area to alleviate spring flooding up to and across Port Washington Rd. The mud removed from the river created the hill S of the C&NW RR tracks in the 5000 block of Port Washington Rd., in present Lincoln Park. Rosalia Augusta Lindwurm, dau. of Wm.

Testimony in court that oldest dau., Minna Off, whipped her. Dau. Louise(Loennecker)Consaul petitioned that the last will and testament be proven and admitted to probate. Johanna had sold her farm in Whitefish Bay (15 acres) for $1100.00 an acre 8-9 years prior to 1900 it was testified. Son Charles testified he was 37 yrs. of age, living town of Milw., that he had lived with his parents until 21 yrs., when he marr. Louise Rabe and they moved to her parents home (at 533f N. Port Washington Rd.) He had sisters Minnie and Louisa, no brothers living. He gave his mother money he earned from the age of 17 to 21. He said his sisters didn't get along with their mother; his wife didn't either. Mr. Philip Sinz testified Mrs. Loennecker told him her oldest dau.(Minna) wanted to have the farm property signed over to the two daughters. Mrs. Loennecker told him, "she is so hard on me, she wants my money and my little property, the two of them." The son, she says, "has got enough to live and I don't know what else, and that if I don't, I can't stay there." She began crying again and if I would go with her to town to a Notary Public, she wanted to make her will to keep peace in the house. I went down with her and when I went 2 blocks, she stopped, "Oh I dasen't do it, my own son done more for me than the girls." The daughters had a falling out with the son's wife and fixed the old lady so that she dasn't give the son anything, she told me not once, but more than ten times. The will was recorded and admitted to Probate, 5/9/1900. Daniel W. Chipman (husband of Susan M. Consaul) appointed admin­ istrator; his bond $9,000.00.

Adolph and Elanora also had two children who died in infancy as stated in his intestate proceedings; he died 2/25/1881 in the present Village of Shorewood. He left as heirs: Gustave residing in Coopersville, MI; Mary(Luecke)Englert, also in Coopersville, as was Wilhelmine (Luecke)Blankenburg; John Luecke of Milw.; and Adolph's widow, Eleanor. He owned the present Stegeman's Subdiv., being a subdiv. of part of the SW^ SWi Sec. 33 T8 N R22 E (Whitefish Bay). Mary Jane(Consaul) Scheife, age 66, testified she had lived all her life in Whitefish Bay and that Adolph Luecke lived on Oakland Ave., "right at the Armory, formerly in E. Milw., now Shorewood." "They had two children who died in infancy and were buried on the lot in the rear of their house - I have seen their graves," she also testified. (Vol. 5 p.634: #60560.) On 6/23/1902 Elanora and her grown children, all married except for John, sold to the C&NW RR Co. the S 100' in width of the N 10 acres of SWi SVl£ See 33 for $3,000.00. C&NW RR Co. then built an E/W track curving W from just N of Hampton Rd. and Marlborough Dr. in Whitefish Bay, running parallel and just S of present Fairmount Ave. off their N/S track. This curve began in present Cahill Square and con­ nected with the still existing track W of St. Monica Blvd. The area in what became Cahill Sq. was known for years as the "Y" for its shape. Mary(Luecke)Englert then brought an action against her brothers and sister to partition off her land from theirs on 5/25/1904. The Referee's report stated that due to the pre­ mise's location, position and size, it cannot be partitioned among the parties without great injury to the interests of said parties. The outcome was to have all the land sold to the highest bidder, who turned out to be John Luecke, purchasing the land for $10,790.00.

Joseph and Anna were not shown on the 1870 census and I didn't find marr. records for them; perhaps they died young. On 7/31/1866 Valentine and Louise Blatz sold to Mrs. Mar­ garethe Luy the Ei "as lies E of the Milw. River, in the NE^ Sec. 19 containing 20 acres" for $650.00, "reserving the right- of-way across part of Lot 6 to the present bridge over the river until a new road along the section line and a new bridge across the river shall be laid out and opened and ready and fit for use." The section line referred to above is the section line Good Hope Rd. is laid out on; the permanent bridge was built almost 100 years later, in 1965. In the 1860's a footbridge existed across the river somewhat south of the present bridge. According to Anson M. Buttles' records from his grand­ father's diaries, Jacob (Jack, below) Luy was born in a log cabin on Port Washington Rd. 1870 town of Milw. censusn Luiy, John 50 farmer Prussia Margareth 45 wife II John 16 Wise Jack 14 Edward 12 Louisa 11 Elizabeth 8 Anthony 6 Franciska 1 Louisa appears to be the same girl as "Magdalena" on the 1860 census.
