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 Milwaukee 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.

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 Wisconsin-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.] '* &?" */ -tLC*.

To William Maresch 9/8/1875 from Michael and Catharine Habes of Milw. Co., for $1600.00 for Lot 8 SE frac. Sec. 18 T8 N R22 E = 26.30 acres except for the strip off the N end of 1.30 acres = 25 acres in all with improvements thereon and all crops on said land. This is the land on the NW corner of present Good Hope and River Roads, River Hills. The early log cabin stood close to River Road. It was torn down in the late teens or early 1920's< The house standing on the property today was built in the 1880s but has had many additions and remodelings; it became the Hoi— brook/Schroeder house on N. River Rd.

(I presume Elizabeth was a daughter of Jacob Markert and not his wife. Jacob purchased this land in Aug. 1850 and was deceased in Sept. 1850 when Elizabeth sold same to August Markert. It would be too hasty to have Elizabeth be Jacob's widow and remarry within a month or less. I also do not know the relationship between August, Jacob and Elizabeth.) To August Markert, 8/30/1850 for $225.00 from Frederick Guenz- ler, "the two story high frame building on the S part of Lot 10 Blk.56 in First Ward of the city."

$> w HERMAN MEISERfS MURDER

Herman, l&wn as Henry, Meiser, was murdered on a Sun. evening, 11/23/1879, in a Granville saloon owned by W. H. Krueger. The Milwaukee Sentinel, on 11/25/1879, wrote that "a box-shaped building about 5 miles out on the Cedarburg plankroad (now Teu- tonia Ave.) was the scene of a bloody conflict." The building was a dwelling, dance-house and saloon. Krueger had invited about 3 0 boys out, "most of them beaux- ing a blooming country lass." They danced and drank beer until midnight. Krueger and Jack Madden were behind the bar, Herman Raether facing them; Madden began to argue with Raether and raised a beer glass to throw at him. Raether caught his arm and took the glass away; Raether then left for the dance hall and Maddin attacked him. Henry Meiser was among Raether's friends and took his side. A fight broke out among the two groups (friends of Raethers and Maddens), some women fainting at the sight of blood. They were carried out behind a barn, where most of the women "were crouching in terror." The fiddlers tried to soothe the combat­ ants by playing music, but failed, and they ran for the door. Bricks, crockery and pieces of the stove, which had been knocked over and broken, were flying about the room; a great deal of blood flowed. All this occurred within 5 minutes time. Madden had come into the bar-room, making a dive for the stove, knocking it over. Meiser was seen to fall during the fight, but it was not until it was over that his real condition was discovered. Fred Meiser, a brother, and Herman Raether found him lying on his back on the barroom floor, saturated in blood which flow­ ed from a deep gash in his left temple and several minor wounds. He was raised from the floor and carried to the bar-room and shortly after that, to a rear building. He died in less than an hour, before a physician arrived. The mob endeavored to kick up another disturbance even after he died. Henry Meiser was 32 yrs. old, generous, good-natured and not given to "spreeing or quarreling." He was married but part­ ed from his wife. He was a blacksmith in partnership with John Gallach and lived with his widowed mother, on a farm about 3/4's of a mile from Krueger's. Two of his brothers, Fred and Frank, work on the farm; another, named Louis, lives in Chicago, and one named August in Kenosha. He has two uncles, Fred and Charlie, who live in Granville. Meiser was born in Germany. Jack Maddin, who seems to have been foremost in the row,is 24 yrs. old and has the reputation of a wild young man. Mrs. Krueger says he was the only one in the row who was intoxi­ cated and he seemed to have been transformed into a demon. His father is a well-to-do farmer, owning 190 acres of land in the vicinity. He has two brothers, Ferdinand, called Bob, who was also in the fight, and William, a saloon-keeper in this city and a son-in-law of Krueger. Krueger says he has caused several rows at his place. He had some trouble with Meiser about two weeks ago in Senomann's saloon, in Goodhope. ("Good Hope11 was the area around Good Hope and Green Bay Rds. ) Coroner Kuepper was in Granville during the day arranging for an official examination, which will take place today. At the post-mortem exam, the physicians declared that Meiser's death was the result from a blow to his temple. 11/29/1879 Sentinel: Frank Ahearn, John Madden, Ferdinand Madden, Michael Tobin, John Tobin, Charles Bray and Joseph Lenahan were charged with killing Herman Meiser. Frank Meiser, Dr. Allen, G. Raether and Mrs. Krueger, the 1st and last witnesses, stated they heard Jack Madden say after Meiser was unconscious, "He dies like a son-of-a- gun." Charles Pazik, one of the musicians, "saw Jack Madden, one of the Irish crowd, throw a part of a brick at the deceased, which hit him in the forehead. Meiser fell to the floor and Madden hit him again. Next came pistols for all and the blood, ending the tragedy." 12/1/1879 Sentinel: The inquest is concluded, being held at Bischoff's on Green Bay Rd., as before. It was determined the Germans rushed to the door of the bar room and the Irish follow­ ed. Herman Meiser was about 6' from the bar room door, Jack Madden was standing by the stove and picked up a brick, throwing it at Meiser. After Meiser fell, Madden threw another brick at him. Madden's elder brother shot into the ceiling 5 times. Verdict: Herman Meiser, on 11/23/1879, came to his death at the hands of John (Jack) Madden, in the house of William Krueger on the Cedarburg Plank rd. Jurors were C. W. Schirmacher, George Scherz, Adolph Ehlers, Andrew J. Sebring, Christoph Lohse and John Hasly.

Minna's maiden name was given in their children's marriage records. Fred Meissner was a gardener and carpenter; his farm­ land (formerly his father-in-law's land) was on the E side of Port Washington Rd.,1^ block N of Henry Clay St., present Glen- dale. He grew cucumbers, among other things and his son, Louis, started the Meissner Pickle factory behind their house on that property. The farmhouse was a tall, grey (in later years) 3 story house, torn down in 1982. After the Meissners left, Rynerson Implement Co. moved in but 10 years later the house stood empty. The Coat Factory was built on the site in 1982 (when the house was torn down); it later became General Electronics store. Emilia marr. Henry G. Sohns 10/6/1878; Louis marr.

ADMINISTRATION: John Moh£r #468 Vol.2 p.138 On 3/16/1853, DanielJ^petitioned the court as administrator of the estate of John Mohr, deceased, stating Mohr's estate consisted of 20 acres, valued at $350.00. The petition stated that the deceased left two children under the age of 14 yrs., Philip and Andreas Mohr. "Said administra­ tor, having contracted debts in the education and support of said children, to the amount of at least $100.00, and seeing that the said estate is totally inadequate for the education and support of said children, prays that the said 20 acres may be granted to him to enable him to educate and support said children." Apparently the court did not grant the 20 acres to Meier; in 1867, Andreas sold 6-2/3 acres to Frederick Kleinhans for $250.00 and in Feb. 1871, Eva Mohr Meier sold 10 acres to Philip Mohr for $100.00. Charles G. Everts was the Justice of Peace who marr. Meier and Eva Mohr; witnesses were neighbors August Markert and

& vn Johann G. Kleinhans. It was Kleinhans1 son, Fredrick, who purchased the Mohr land. John Mohr had died intestate; August Markert and Conrad Schumacher were appointed "apprizers" of his estate. On 11/4/1853 they placed a value of $350.00 on his 20 acres - $17.50 per acre.

August Mohr died shortly after his parents. His brothers and sisters then went to court to claim denial in conveying their interest in the lands of which August Mohr died seized and claimed his lands descended to his heirs, namely his brothers and sisters. Rosalia(MohrJBreuhahn testified her father had other children who had died young. (These young children are buried in the Town of Milw. Cemetery, along with Andrew and Albertine(Bruss) Mohr.) Lots 9 and 10 stayed with Louise Grootemaat and did not re­ vert back to the Mohr children.

The house at 2408 E. Edgewood Ave., Shorewood, was rented by the Henry Nedderson family in the late 1880's after their farm-: land had been sold to Ralph Bare. (I don't know who built the house). Later, their daughter, Olga and her husband, George Lueddemann, lived there - and their daughter, Irma Lueddemann Weisel, was born in this house. In the 1960's, Irma and Carl Weisel's daughter, Carol, lived there with her family! Carol(Weisel)Grohmann told me the "front room" was a later addition built onto the house by the Neddersons. It then became a Victorian style house with spindles and gingerbread on the eaves, along with a front porch.

Gottlieb marr. Henrietta Vossberg, whose family lived in Mequon; the marriage probably took place in Ozaukee Co. - there is no record in Milw. County of the marriage. Her maiden name came from her death record and birth records of Trinity Church. Maria Wilhelmina Auguste Nowack, born 4/26/1868; father is Johann Gottlieb(Schulz)Novack, mother is Henrietta nee Vossberg. This child apparently died as she is not shown on the 1870 census. Does the "Schulz" inserted in Johann Gotlieb's name in­ dicate that he was adopted, or that his mother was a Schulz and not married at the time of his birth?

Excerpted from "Memoirs of Milw. County" by Jerome Watrous, p. 830-831: Louis Pierron, son of William and Martha(Mantz)Pierron, born town of Milw., 9/23/1870. William born 9/17/1849 Milw. Co.; Martha born 9/17/1853 Germany. William lived in Milw. until he was 17 yrs. old, with Charles Hermann, his stepfather, who ran a store at 552 E. Water St. (old numbering). William left the city to work in and conduct the Silver Spring Mills from 1866 to 1888; he then embarked in the grocery/saloon business at North Ave. and 3rd St. with son Louis. In 1891 he became city collector for Cream City Brewing Co., stayed there 13 yrs. He represented the 15th District in the state legislature 1881 and 1891 represented the 6th District. Was Chairman of town of Milw. 1877 and 1883; upon retirement, he lived at 736 Holton St Louis, son of William, worked for his uncle Louis M. Pierron, in 1891; in 1892, he worked for the Board of Public Works and Board of School Directors. In 1901, Louis returned to his father's old place in the town of Milw. (the farm on W. Green Tree Rd.) where he engaged in general farming and as a breeder of poultry. Served 3 terms as Justice of Peace and as school clerk 1904-1910. End of except. % An ink factory was built on the Hermann/Pierron land on the W side of the Milw. River, S side of W. Green Tree Rd. There was a split pea factory on the farmland on the E side of the river. "Old" Louis Pierron, son of Louis, built a stone house, also of the river stones, on the W side of the river, S of Green Tree Rd. - it burned in August 1921 or 1922. The stone house Karl and Catherine(Arnold)Hermann built at 939 W. Green Tree Rd., had the kitchen and dining room in the basement, but that was really the 1st floor, since the house stood so high. Catherine's six children inherited the house and property when she died in 1897. William's six children were born in this house. This house also burned in a fire, but Janet Holland didn't know when; the interior was rebuilt after the fire. She recalled that her grandmother had a dome-shaped oven in the yard for cakes and bread; baking in that oven was done weekly. She also stated that the mill was no longer standing when she was a child and that there had been a large dam on the S side of Green Tree Rd., in the river - certainly that had been built for mill use. An old-fashioned bridge, forerunner to the present bridge on Green Tree Rd., was S of the current one.

N* S*4 RABE, JOHANN To Johann Rabe, of Town of Milw., 9/1/1856 for $800.00, for NEi NEi SEi See 32 T8 N R22 E = 10 acres. This was on the SW corner of Henry Clay St. and St. Monica Blvd. Sons Charles and Heinrich were born there; John's wife, Sophia, died there. According to Johann's grandson, Arthur Rabe, Johann and Sophia came to Milw. 1849, settling on Atkinson Ave., near Port Washington Rd. after they married; daughter Ida was born there. Then they moved to the W side of the present 5300 block of Port Washington Rd., building a "shack" there on Asmus Diedrich^sen's land. Mr. Diedrichsen allowed them a piece of land in exchange for Johann clearing the land of wood; Johann, in turn, was allowed to sell this wood in the City. Daughters Minnie and Lena were born there. (From Arthur Rabe's memoirs.) Johann Rabe marr. Louise Heinsen 1/31/1851 in Milw. There is some confusion as to her name: The 1860 census shows his wife as "Sophia" and the 1870 as Louise. Miss Elsie Rabe, a direct descendant, told me Johann's wife's name was Sophia, nee Heims. She may have been related to the Heims family who also settled in Whitefish Bay. Both Sophia and John Rabe were born in Dorf Techentien, near Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenberg. 1860 town of Milw. census Rabe, Johann 40 farmer Mecklenberg-Sch.

The above land was on the W side of present Woodruff Ave, and I believe the "lane or road" mentioned in the above deed was for future Woodruff Ave., then just a dirt trail. On 9/30/1868, John Rabe purchased another 10 acres, this time on the E side of Woodruff Ave between Woodruff and Marl­ borough Dr.; both parcels were on the N side of Hampton Rd. 1870 town of Milw.

Henry Raabe, a farmer, born Germany, living Town of Milw., son of Fr. and Lizzie Raabe, marr. 3/27/1881 to Mary Bahn, dau. of George and Mary Bahn. Witness was Carl Raabe. (Perhaps Johann Rabe's first name was Fred., to account for the "Fr." in this marr. record -- although he was known as Johann David to the Rabe descendants. Henry was born in Milw. Co., not Ger­ many! ) John Rabe and his neighbor, August Schroeder, each gave up some of their land so Woodruff Ave. could be opened up, but, at that time, only as a dirt road.

Chateau pi., W of Marlborough Dr., to 4856 N. Woodruff Ave., Whitefish Bay, still there. The house was moved due to its close location to the C&NW RR track right-of-way. On 7/10/1888, John Rabe, widower, of the Town of Milw. sold the 10 acres on the SW corner of St. Monica and Henry Clay St. for $6000.00, reserving the S 16 ft. for purpose of a road (future Lancaster Ave.) On 6/6/1889, John Rabe bought from the Looysen estate in present Fox Point, 37^ acres of land for $3300.00.

Jacob Rader received his Warranty Deed for the above 20 acres on 2/1/1857 and sold same to Ignatz Zimprich in 1869.) The above 20 acres were on the NW corner of present St. Monica Blvd. and E.

If Carl Franz and my wife both are deceased, then my estate to be divided so ^ goes to my heirs at law and \ to the heirs at law of my wife, Mary. The reason I do not provide for my other children in the same manner as I do for my son Franz Carl is because I have heretofore provided for them and also because his mother, my wife, has been a great comfort to me, helped me make and save what property I now have and has brought me some property at the time of our marriage. Heirs: Widow, sole devisee and legatee; administrator. Children: Jacob, Jr.; Catherine Branch, wife of John; Joseph; Anna Timbel, wife of Ernst; Elizabeth Adler, wife of Gustav.

Scheibe, Edward 27 . farmer Saxony Florine 21 wife Wurtemberg Reinhold 2 Wise Amelia 11 Saxony Edward's name was Fred. Edward; Florine was Florine Sophie, nee Lueneberg. Amelia was a sister of Edward. By the 1870 census, Edward and Florine were living in the Town of Granville. Maria Scheibe's name was Christiane Maria, nee Miller. From an article in "Memoirs of Waukesha County, Wis.", biographical volume, p.619 and 620 it is stated: Gustav Scheibe was born in Theringen, Germany 6/17/1839. His father, Gottfried, was a native of the same place; his mother, Maria(Miller)Scheibe was born in Eisenberg. They came to America Oct. 1854, locating in Granville, Milw. Co. where they rented a farm for 5 yrs. They then moved to another part of Milw. Co., remaining there until 1863 when Mr. Scheibe died. Mrs. Scheibe survived him 10 yrs., living with her children. There were 7 children in the family: Agnes died in Germany prior to the family's immigration; Gustav; Edward who lived in Outa­ gamie Co., Wis.; Ernestine (Mrs. Moser); Amelia and Helena; Richard lived in Michigan. (They also had Wilhelmine, age 1 on the 1860 census - perhaps she died young?) Friedrich Gustav Scheibe, son of Friedrich Gottfried and Maria Elisabeth Scheibe, a farmer born U.S. (?), living town of Milw., marr. 11/10/1867 to Wilhelmine Hahm, dau. of Christian and Helene Hahm. On 9/1/1866, John Hanrahan leased 50 acres in the NW^ Sec. 19 to Gustave Scheibe to "farm the Good Hope Farm" for two years and the right to live on the land. He was not to take down or remove the buildings on the farm without consent, "straws raised and manure made to remain there for benefit of the farm." Hanrahan reserved the right to the north wing of the main build­ ing on the premises. On 9/18/1867, Hanrahan sold the 50 acres to George Bruel and assigned the lease with Gus. Scheibe to Breul. This was the SW corner of Good Hope and Green Bay Roads.

CARL SCHEIFE - DESCENT OF LANDS - #29603 Vol.3 p.127 Carl died 7/24/1903 intestate. Caroline, his widow, and son Lewis F., lived in Whitefish Bay. Son Henry F. lived at 1108 National Ave. (old numbering), Milw. and dau., Lillian H. Ewig died after her father on 1/2/1911, in Chicago, IL. Lillian's husband, Jacob Ewig, was left Lillian's share via Lillian's will. Carl Scheife died seized of the Northerly 2^ acres of the E 5 acres of S 10 acres of Lot 1, Sec. 28 T8 N R22 E, in the Village of Whitefish Bay. His interest in this land was a fee simple interest - meaning he had unqualified ownership. Caroline Scheife testified on 11/7/1911 that she hadn't seen dau. Lillian since she was confirmed and another dau., Emma, died at age 11 by drowning in the Milw. River. Caroline didn't know if Lillian was married or not. Henry Scheife testified that Lillian was married twice and had had a child by her first husband (Edward Stokes of Chicago); that child died at age 21 or 22, unmarried and with­ out children. Each of the heirs, Caroline, Henry F., Lewis F. and Jacob Ewig, was owner in fee simple of an undivided 1/3 of said land, subject to dower and homestead rights of widow Caroline, as of 11/8/1911. Henry F. Scheife worked for the Transport Co., moving back to Whitefish Bay in 1936. He continued to work for that company until age 75, in 1945, when he retired, and was living with his daughter Lilliatt(Scheife)Kellogg. Caroline(Schumacher)Scheiff_e testified in 1905, in her Widow's Pension, #797822, that all the property she had was the 2^ acres in Whitefish Bay, land not under cultivation but has a small cottage thereon ; that she was not living on said property - it has been lying idle until last April, when she rented it out for 1 yr., $5.00 per mo. This was the home­ stead. William and Caroline Brandt, 1028 Centre(Center)St. (old numbering) testified on Caroline Scheife's behalf, saying they'd known her husband and widow Caroline since 1858. Carl Scheife testified 7/5/1898, on Certificate #653820 for his Civil War Pension, he marr. Caroline Schmacher on 4/6/1858 in Dargeslaf, Province Pommern Prussia, Pastor Roestel officiating.

^ {£07 Lewis Scheife's grocery/general store site on the S side of Silver Spring Dr., (today on the W side of Marlborough Dr., S side of Silver Spring Dr.) had a small frame addition on the E side of the frame building; this was a meat market. The front door to the Scheife house was between the meat market and the general store; the stairs led up to their 2nd floor house. The building was on a trianguar piece of land between the C&NW RR tracks on the W side and the "dummy" electric train tracks on the E. A large barn and stables were connected to the rear of the store. Behind and to the W was the C&NW RR depot; Charles White was the depot operator. Later, the meat market was phased out and the room was used for little cele­ brations, dances and as a lodge hall for the I.O.O.F. (Inde­ pendent Order of Foresters). This grocery store was sold to John D. Singles and Lewis, Will Consaul and Frank Consaul built a frame hardware store/ house on the NW corner of present Consaul Pi. and E. Silver Spring Dr. While under construction, the Scheifes lived in Mary Jane(Consaul)Scheife's sister's house (Mrs. Emma(Consaul) Luecke) still standing, at 5654 N. St. Monica Blvd. The hard­ ware store was completed in 1898-99 and had two stories with a full basement, along with a two horse stable attached to a barn. Lewis Scheife sold this store later to Henry Wilke. Lewis is, supposedly, the man who named the village of Whitefish Bay. During a meeting when village incorporation was being talked about, he suggested the name of "whitefish Bay" be kept since the area was so famous for that fish; the others agreed. Lewis was village Treasurer in 1893 and 1894 and again, 1905 to 1920. Olive(Scheife)Packard Lowry wrote to me 2/1/1982 with the following: "I am glad to see there is a Cahill Square (in Whitefish Bay). I worked at the village hall a short time under the supervision of Ralph Cahill and his secretary, Dora Fritzke. Dora was the niece of my best early childhood friend, Molly Fritzke. They lived on Glen Avenue. My brother, friends and I used to gather flowers for May baskets in a woods that was located between Silver Spring Dr. and Lexington(Blvd.), St. Monica (Blvd.) and Kent. Cowslips, anenomes and violets. Also, in "Uncle Frank's woods" between Carlisle and Day, St. Monica Blvd. and the C&NW right-of-way, where we found trilliums, wind flowers and butter cups. Blue bells were on the right-of-way and beautiful purple violets in the field between Consaul PI. and St. Monica, Silver Spring and Beaumont Ave."

From an article in the WHITEFISH BAY HERALD, 11/10/1943: John Schindhelm, 83, who was born and brought up on a farm which included the property on which the present WFB High School and Henry Clay grade school, died Sun. at the home of his son, Edward, at 3124 W. Silver Spring Dr. (This is an example of an error in oral history - John Schindhelm was born WEST of the land the grade and high schools are located on, from Deeds recorded to his father, unless the Schindhelms were renting land on the E side of present Kimbark Pi. in 1860 when John, Jr. was born.) In his childhood, Mr. Schindhelm attended the old district #10 school, which was in what is now Lincoln Park. Following his marriage in 1885, he moved to a house on the Port Washington Rd., near Green Tree Rd., where he operated a barber shop and a piano and sewing machine shop until his retirement seven yrs. ago. He was a director of Green Tree school in the town of Milw. for 50 yrs. and a member of the Old Settlers club. Survivors are three other sons, Fred, John and Herbert; dau. Mrs. Ella Fehlhaber, and brother Edward. Services held at Heiden & Lange chapel, 3116 N. 3rd St. with burial in Town of Milwaukee Union cemetery.

The "watercourses" on Schmidt farmland was a creek just N of the house*Mrs. Seifers told Mimi Bird the two houses immediately N of the Schmidt/Richter/Seifers house still have wet basements due to this creek.

But why is younger Fredrich's wife named as "Wil- helmina" if she was Maria Friedericke Henriette on thei 1860 marriage record? Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church of S.

Charles and Flora also had another child, William, who was mentioned in the probate file as a "minor heir." The 8 acres in Lot 1 Sec. 32 T8 N R22 E and the 3 acres N of that were left to Flora, as was his personal estate. $300.00 was left to each of Charles' three sons - Charles, Jr., Henry and William, when they reached 21 years.

From "Memoirs of Milw.

i. SELLMANN, WILLIAM William Sellmann marr. Magdalena Steffen in Milw. 4/15/1850; ceremony performed by Jos. Salzmann, priest from St. Martin's Catholic Church - was she related to the Steffens who settled in present Whitefish Bay? Magdalena's mother's name was Maria, but her father's name is not mentioned. I was unable to locate a death record for Magdalena to see if her parents' names were stated on it. Judging from the June 1850 census, William was either a widower with 2 children or he and Magdalena had their first 2 children in Germany and came to Milw. to be married, where their 3rd child was born shortly after the wedding. Judging from the age difference between William and Magdalena, I think he was married previously. 1850 town of Milw., Dist. 18 Silman, Wm. 37 farmer Germany Magdalena 22 Mary 2 Wis, Wm. 8 mo.

The Fred Stabelfeldt farm extended into what is presently Kohl's Food Emporium in Fox Point, on N. St. Monica Blvd. Their home served as the Fox Point Village Hall into the middle 1930's, Around 1880, Fred's strip of land - 780' wide, extending from Lake Dr. on the N side of Green Tree Rd., E to the lake — was named "Stabelfeldt's Grove." Horses were hitched at the top of the lake bluff and a small winding road led down the hill to the beach from Green Tree. This road still exists, if you search for it, at the S end of Beach Drive. There was a large open-air pavilion on the hill, near the beach, where people could be seated for dining. A soda and beer bar was provided and part of the building was used by bathers to change their clothes. There was an open dance area built into the hill, covered with a roof. Gravel for the road leading to the Grove was brought up from the lake. The park closed about 1925 and the area was subdivided for homesites, Fred's son, Fritz, marr. 4/4/1880 to Louisa Killian, dau. of Louis and Mary Killian, Civil ceremony; William Pierron, Justice of Peace.

Their son, Emil, marr. and lived at 8310 W. Burleigh St. He had Milton and Leola, who marr. Edw. C. Gruenzel. Leola and Edward later lived in her parent's house; Mrs. Gruenzel helped me with some of the Stabelfeldt family, as did her nephew, David J. Stabel­ feldt. Emil began the wholesale growing of flowers in cloth houses, which lead into the retail selling and floral arrange­ ments used for funerals, hospitals and weddings. Emil pur­ chased his uncle Herman Koerner's business, run at the above W. Burleigh St. address. Emil's son, Milton, then moved to the present location of Stabelfeldt's Flower & Garden Shop, 1515 W. Silver Spring Dr., Glendale, now run by Milton's son, David J. Stabelfeldt. According to Anson M. Buttles, and told to me, the Green Tree Rd. bridge, the old Silver Spring Rd. bridge and the Hampton. Rd. bridge all bore William Stabelfeldt's name. In 1917, the Green Tree Rd. bridge was rebuilt, by the House of Correction prisoners, as there was a labor shortage (WW I?)

The 80 acres he owned in present Whitefish Bay was rental property - a large dairy farm - located between Henry Clay St. and Silver Spring Dr., St. Monica Blvd. to Idlewild Ave. - purchased in 1852 and 1854. An April 28, 1895 Milwaukee Sentinel article referred to it as "the pleasant country home known as the Swain place on the Whitefish Bay Rd." when Rev. Howard B. St.George, Canon of All Saints Cathedral, Milw., rented the home. The house was located between present Hollywood Ave. and Marlborough Dr., N of Birch Ave. The Swain's residence was in Shorewood, on 54+ acres located on the E and W sides of Lake Dr., N side of Capitol Dr. Their home was approximately 1 blk.

He T> Onr ZABEL I was unable to locate the Zabels on the 1870 census record. From "The History of Milw. County From its First Settle­ ment to 1895" by Howard L. Conrad, p. 284: "Max Zabel was born in Magdeburg, Germany 1837 and came to this country with his parents, settling on a farm on Staten Island. In 1855, he came to Milw., and then became a clerk in a general store in Port Washington. He returned to Milw. in 1857 and became a bookkeeper with Schumacher & Johnson Co. His parents returned to Europe in 1863 and gave him the capitol to start a new business. He en­ tered the firm with which he was engaged, as a partner, under the new name of Schumacher, Johnson & Co. Mr. Zabel retired from this business in 1870 and devoted himself to his farm in the Town of Milw." Carl Edw. and Johanna Dorothea Hartmann of City of Milw. to Max Zabel of County of Milw., for $3000.00 for Ni Wi NE^ and Ni Si Wi NEi and Ni Wi Si Ei NE^ all in Sec. 29 T8 N R22 E, containing an aggregate 70 acres, except that portion of Ni Wi NE^ lying E of so-called Washington rd., containing 15.9 acres; the amount of land hereby conveyed being 54.1 acres, dated 9/14/1859. This land was on the W side of Port Washington Rd. to the Milwaukee River, S of present River Front Dr., Glendale (where he eventually built Crystal Spring Park), the E and W sides of Port Washington Rd., N of W. Montclair Ave., and 25 acres on the NW corner of Bender and Port Washington Rds. It was on that NW corner (where the North Shore Water Fil­ tration plant is located today) where the Town of Milw. Town Hall was built, between August and Oct. 1872, with Max and Marie Zabel giving a "deed of conveyance." The deed gives a legal description for a lot 100' deep and 50' wide on the Bender Rd., specifying it to be used as a town hall site until the township discontinues its use, when it shall revert back to the family. Marie Zabel died May 13, 1880.

Max Zabel, son of Albert and Ida(Vatke)Zabel, a foreman, living town of Milw., born Magdeburg, Germany, marr. Mrs. Pauline Schoedde, dau. of Carl and Amalie(Gall)Heinrichs, she born Elbing, Germany; marr. 8/24/1882 in town of Milw. with William Kitzerow, J.P. Pauline was the widow of Richard Schoedde and had two sons, Carl F. and Dr. Bismarck Schoedde. Max and Pauline rented the F. T. Stone house on E. Lexington Blvd., Whitefish Bay, in 1892, then her brother, H. W. Heinrichs bought it, and named it "The Oaks." The Zabels then bought Israel Lefebvre's house in 1892, at 710 E. Briarwood PI., Whitefish Bay, which is still standing. "The Oaks" was torn down in the 1920s. Max Zabel kept his farm, located on the Crystal Spring Park land and in 1898, Zabels moved to that property, building a house near W. Montclair Ave., facing Port Washington Rd. Carl F. Schoedde and his wife, Mary, lived in Whitefish

*?> ns Bay and had a daughter, Bertha. She marr. Ernest Dunlop and they lived at 1008 E. Lexington Blvd. from 1921 until her death, Bertha Schoedde was Max Zabel's only living heir in July 1955 when the question of the old Town of Milw. Town Hall came up. Mrs. Dunlop asked that the City of Glendale remove the building from the land and pay her rental from the time the Town of Milw. had ceased to exist. It was decided she had no claim to the town hall, which was owned by the City of Glendale at that time. The town hall WAS removed to its present site, though, on the Glendale Fire and Police Dept. property, on the N. Milw. River Parkway, S of Bender Rd. The 1894 Village of Whitefish Bay Personal Property of the Assessment Rolls shows Max Zabel as having $4525.00 - the largest amount of personal property in the village outside of the Milw. & WFB Railway Co., listed with $5000.00! Death record from Forest Home Cemetery: Maria Zabel, born 10/7/1841 Germany, died 5/13/1880, marr., lived 658 - 2nd St. (old numbering), as did baby Albert Zabel, born July, died Aug. 1880, son of Augusta Zabel of same address, she born 9/28/1854, died 8/8/1880 from childbirth.

^ £ $ DUTCH SHIP TRAGEDY A tragedy struck one of the early Dutch migrations and is recorded on a sign outside a cemetery in Oostburg, Sheboygan Co., where many of the first Dutch settlers are buried.

HOLLAND SETTLEMENT Settlers came to this vicinity in 1846 under the leadership of G. H. Te Kolste. Just north of here in 1847, the steamboat 'Phoenix1 with many new recruits to this colony burned. 127 Hollanders were lost in this disaster."

Local people still speak of the 'Phoenix' on which 209 immigrants had safely crossed the stormy Great Lakes, only to have the ship burst into flames on the last leg of the journey between Manitowoc and Sheboygan. The passengers were at the mercy of the flames for two hours, within sight of the shore. A rescue ship finally arrived, finding that all but 46 had either drowned or burned to death.

The cemetery is located on old U.S. Highway 141, now 1-43, about 2 miles SE of Oostburg, near East Oostburg, the original Holland settlement of that name.

This land is the E & W sides of Port Washington rd., N side of Bradley Rd. The Meyer log house, later sided, was on the W side of Port Washington Rd., N side of Bradley rd., built 1862 and razed in 1968. Everett Meyer's wife's name was Gertrude M.(Nedermann), from son Peter Arnold's marr. record. Anson M. Buttles, Jr., told me that both Everett and his wife, along with two of their children, were buried on their farmland, in what is now the SE corner of the Fox Croft Condominiums. This was the Meyer family cemetery, now marked by three property lines and a white oak tree. The gravestones disintegrated long ago. The two children may have been Bart and Clara, as they are shown on the 1850 census, but not again, and I was unable to locate marr. records for them.

Burial in Wisconsin Memorial Park. (Was she a Meyer

A'^ W of the preceeding Meyer clan?) Emil and Marion(Meyer)Hesse had a summer house at 8301 N, Port Washington Rd., on the Meyer farmland. The house was later converted to a year-round home and stood about i block S of Maple Dale School, in a woods. That house was razed in 1988 and the land cleared. Milwaukee Sentinel, Oct. 23, 1876, Monday Residents on 14th St., between Spring (Wise. Ave.) and Wells, heard a shot and a thud about half past 4 on Sat. afternoon. A man shot himself in the head, leaving a note saying his name was Gerrit Ernst Meyer, that he lived in the town of Milw. and "that I did this to myself, no need to hold an 'enkwest'." He had disposed of a load of wheat that day. Meyer was the owner of an 80 acre tract, a well-to-do farmer; he left a wife and children. Peter A. Meyer, a brother, said Gerrit E. was about 39 yrs. of age and farms adjoining his brother's farm. Gerrit had trouble with his wife and threatened several times to take his life on that account. He often became intoxicated when he visited the City. Something had been said concerning the maiden life of Gerrit's wife and it weighed heavily on his mind, I advised him to leave her and the family, but he preferred to shoot himself rather than desert his children. He was a Hollander by birth; his wife was a German Bohemian. Fred G. Isenring testified, as did Anson W. Buttles. Buttles said "he told me a half dozen times he would take his life and when he did he would shoot himself. His wife is a fine, hard-working woman. The story about the early life of his wife was the result of a family quarrel, I think. The bro­ ther who just left (Peter A.) the stand (during testimony) had everything to say against the wife of the deceased and the de­ ceased had everything to say against the wife of Peter A. Meyer." Gerrit Meyer's wife had gone into the City with him that day, she to sell butter and he the wheat. He'd stopped at Fred G. Isenring's grocery store at 631 THird St. (old numbering) in the 6th Ward. When his wife came to get him, he was in the saloon and we were obliged to awaken him. His wife went home without him. (in their wagon, apparently. It was Fred Isenring who testified about the saloon.) Widow Mary Meyer said Gerrit's brother had great influence over him and I feared both of them. The jury returned a verdict of death by his own hand on account of family troubles. The body was turned over to relatives who prepared it for burial in Wright's cemetery in the Town of Milw. this afternoon. Note: "Wright's cemetery" is the Town of Milw. Union Cemetery. The Wright family, settlers from Vermont, had lived adjacent to the cemetery, but were not owners of this cemetery.

They are living with Elizabeth(Baas) and John F. Wilke, in present Bayside, but I do not know why. Jacob is later named Isaac on the 1870 census and on his gravestone. Another Tack family lived in the 9th Ward, City of Milw., also from Holland; perhaps Jacob and Catherine's father had been related to the 9th Ward Tacks. They had a Jacobus and a Jacob, also a Catharine - all different ages from "our" Jacob/Isaac and Catharine, above. I believe the Jacob and Maria "Tak" living in the 9th Ward as shown on the 1860 census were the Jacob Tack and Maria de la Vienne who marr. in Milw. 12/1/1853, she as his 2nd wife. His dau., Adriana Tak marr. John Van deVrede 11/28/1872 Milw., she dau. of Jacob and Adriane(Mersman)Tak; he son of Johannes and Johanna(Van Olst)Van der Vrede, a shoemaker. (Van Olst also written as Van Alst in records.) John F. and Elizabeth(Baas)Wilke are shown on the 1870 Town of Franklin, Milw.vCo. census, ages 51 and 50, living among a large group of Dutch families. Near them is Jane Mersamaer, age 64, born Holland and son Isaac, 26, born Holland. Could Jane have been Adriane(Mersman)Tak, above, mother of Adriana who marr. John Van de Vrede? Often the Dutch name Adriana was used interchangeably with Jane. Also see MISC. DUTCH FAMILIES - John Mersen and family lived in the town of Milw. 1860 and 1870, near the Mullies, and may have been related to Adriane(Mersman)Tak; the early spellings were often in error.

Although the initials "J.A.", male, age 14 appear on this census, apparently the "J" should be an "H" for Henry. They did name their three sons Henry, from the 1861 Deed, below. Anna's name was apparently Amy, from her gravestone.

Garritt Wolters built the pier on Beach rd. for the Fox Point Brick factory - sometime between spring 1849 and 1854 when he died. It was located on the site of present 7328 N.

They were removed by the Uihlein family about 1912. The Uihleins had purchased the Wolters/Obma farmland, along with the adjoining DeSwarte farm and the later Schmaltz farm to create their Nine Mile Farm - named for its distance from Wisconsin Ave. in the City. The Uihleins purchased the 185 acres between 1885 and 1890.

1850 town of Milw. census Zettler, F. T. 39 farmer Holland Sarah 38 Anna 17 William 16 Jacoba 15 Peter 13 Mary 12 Ellen 10 Fred T. 6 Winand 5 Charles 4 Fred. Tobias Zetteler had a niece, or perhaps she was a daughter, Wilhelmina Zetteler, who apparently came with the family to the Town of Milw. She marr. Gallus Isenring 2/22/1851; the date is from Larry Isenring, formerly of Whitefish Bay, WI, now living in Madison, WI, a descendant. There is no marr. record for Wilhelmina and Gallus Isenring in Milw. Co. Wilhelmina, also called Maria, was born 1821 and is buried with Gallus Isenring in Union Cemetery, Milw. From the Wise. State Historical Society, CS/827/A1/S89, is the following on the Zettelers when they left Holland:

Zettler, Frederick Tobias Occ. 127 Haam of Gareelmaker (horsecollar maker) Sex 1 Age 36 Rel. 1 NedHervormd (Dutch Reformed) Cls 2 Mingegoeden (less well-to-do) Asm 2 (not assessed for taxes) Women 1 Chldrn 9 Dest. New York Reason 56 Unknown Yr 48 (1848) Prov 10 Zeeland Province Mun 83 Vlissingen (perhaps municipality ?) Since the above record states he left with 9 children and 9 children are shown on the above census record, it seems Wilhelmina Zetteler was a niece.

FOREST HOME CEMETERY Zetteler, Fred. T. 2/11/1812 to 8/19/1896 "born Rotterdam, Holland, arrived in Milw. 1848" Sarah 3/5/1813 to 10/3/1894

Sarah's maiden name was Smith. Her death record says she was born in Flushing, Holland, lived 1116 Walnut St. at time of death (old numbering). Fred's death record states he was born Amsterdam; however, his gravestone is engraved with "born Rotterdam, Holland." Their son, Col. Theodore W. Zetteler's death record says he was born Madison, WI 8/1/1851, although his gravestone says 185J3. He and his wife are also buried in Forest Home Cemetery, along with other members of the Zetteler family. The Zettelers left the area shortly after the 1850 census, but were in the City of Milw. by 1865 when their children began to be married there. POEM ABOUT SOME EARLY SETTLERS by Anson W.Buttles 1* Dullema,n in poultry is hard to beat He takes it where he can He sells it all but what he eats Tied tight with calico.bands. 2. DeSwarte so pious and sincere To church he always goes. His actions then you may not fear Both good and bad he fears. 3. Tellier a miser so content His soul it might be bought. To bait a trap with half a cent All not worth half a groat. 4. Wolters in black ash largely deals Non-residents feel it much. Timber grows scarce as it he steals From all but the Low-Dutch. 5. Vruwink1s a man who stays at home To cherish his dear wife. Don't trust her much fabout to roam For to create a strife. 6» Koeslag for news cannot be beat A paper you should take. He has the news of every street All over this town eight. 7. Cappon the life and soul of trade Is ready for a swap. And when proposals are all made You're sure to get a rap. 8* Wilke to church goes every Sunday His religion there to show. He always steals black ash on Monday > From lands he does not know. 9. Meyers the bully of the woods. Gave Dulleman great pain. Does everything but what is good His conducts in that strain. 10. Buttles an office will not have He's all alone in fog - No office from the dutch does crave For fear they will him flog. 11. I want a pipe (says Wussow) small It will help save my cash. My breeches small my cap and all To wear upon my calabash. 12> Bjttney in honesty is all right Not second to first rate,* He works hard day and night As any in Town eight. 13. Barrick intends a feast to give Of his old buckskin breeches. For they're so much like a sieve They will not hold the stitches. 14. Terhuren he does make good hoaps Deny it all who can. He buys his timber and his soup And licks the frying pan.

15. Schaaf is a cautious steady man His aim is to go straight. He risks not much, that is his plan. What'er may be his fate. 16. Mullie makes sport of all around In his own jovial way. If he in fun can flog you out He's sure to gain the day. 17. Zettler is keen for building piers The wind woi^k he does good. Before 'tis done I greatly fear We shall be out of wood. 18. Our Martin Bruce is a good man (should be Bruss) His neighbors he'll not wrong. Tries to do all the good he can That's his religious song. 19. Gallus is wavering and alone Industriously inclined. Before he's got his job half done He's sure to change his mind. 20. Joseph Anderegg I hear of late Will soon go hand in hand. With one who is to be his mate And bring Annie on his land. 21. Warner to whiggery is inclined Democracy won't him fit. Jealous of all but his own kind To them he's the true grit. 22. Ben Phelps near the lake does dwell For fiddling he is great E. Keene alone does him excel The best throughout the state.
