If this happy event comes to pas and finds them mentally alert and in the best of physical health they have every reason to be thankful. Such is the happy lot of Mrs. Magdalena Rosskopf who passed the eightieth milestone last Tuesday. In spite of the fact that she looks back upon a busy life and has had her full share of the trials and tribulations that are meted out to us, she still takes a keen interest in what goes on about her. She is quite spry for her years and is quite able to assist her daughter, Mrs. Hurbert Berg, in her manifold household duties. She enjoys to meet and talk with friends and neighbors and takes pleasure in visiting with them almost daily. Grandma Rosskopf whose maiden name was Magdalena Roesch was born May 30, 1933 in Drung near Breidung in German Hungary. She came to America with her parents when she was 19 years old. They located in Wenasha, Wis. where she was married in 1858 to Gregor Peters. Two children were born to them, Gustav Peters who now lives in Idaho and Mrs. Fred Heinze of Mankato.

Her husband died 23 years ago and Mrs. Rosskopf bravely shouldered the family burdens. Her reward came when her three daughters were established each in her own home and she made her home with Mrs. Berg. In honor of her Birthday about thirty of the children and grandchildren arranged a most pleasant and welcome surprise for her and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Her many friends hope that she may be spared to her family for many more years of health and happiness. Unknown Paper - Unknown Date On Thursday night there occurred the death of Xavier Rosskopf at the advanced age of seventy-six years. Up to a few weeks ago, he was, for a man of his years, enjoying remarkably good health. He was able to attend to work and was often seen about town performing duties that would seem arduous to men many years his younger. Six or seven weeks since, however, he was suddenly stricken with stomach troubles and gradually failed until death came as a relief. Mr. Rosskopf was born in Wolferstadt, Oberpfalz, Bavaria, on the 15 October 1815. In 1847 he came to America and settled in Milwaukee. Twenty-two years later he removed to New Ulm where he resided the remainder of his life. For a number of years he was proprietor of what is now known as the Northwestern Hotel, and was never closely identified with any other business. Married twice, he was the father of a large family, and eleven of his children are now living and all married. During his residence here, he naturally formed a large acquaintance, and all who knew him will have a good word to say for him in relating the story of his life, which was one that reflects only to his credit. The funeral was held Saturday morning from the Catholic church. Unknown Paper - Unknown Date On Friday evening, M.J. Rosskopf died at Winthrop after a brief illness, resulting from an attack of heart disease. The body was brought to this city Sunday afternoon and shortly after its arrival the funeral obsequies took place. Few larger gatherings have even been witnessed on similar occasions in New Ulm, and the presence of the Odd Fellow and Workman lodges of Winthrop and New Ulm, the militia of the latter city and hundreds of citizens showed plainly that Mr. Rosskopf in his life had many friends. Albert Steinhauser delivered the remarks at the grave, and spread through his discourse a sentiment that was thoughtful, kind and impressive. Mr. Rosskopf was born in Wisconsin thirty-seven years ago. In 1855 he was married to his present widow and lived in New Ulm till 1889. Her he held positions as city marshal and captain of the militia and was generally popular. Leaving here he went to Winthrop where he was engaged in the hotel business at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and two children, to whom we extend a sympathy that comes of a full sense of the regret which must be theirs.

Review - October 18, 1916 FERDINAND SCHAEFER It becomes our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of Ferdinand Schaefer who passed away at the Loretto Hospital Sunday morning at 5:30, aged only 48 years. The immediate cause of his death was a heart stroke, which was superinduced by kidney trouble and varicose veins with which ailments he (sic) deceased had suffered quite a great deal for the past year. He was taken to the hospital Thursday morning in the hope that a few weeks of absolute quiet and rest would place him on the highway to recovery but it was not to be. Ferdinand Schaefer was born in the Town of Cottonwood May 23, 1872 where he spent his childhood days and grew to manhood. About 30 years ago he came to New Ulm where he has since made his home. He took up teaming as a pursuit and kept that up until his death. For a time he was interested in the ice business and in later years he was engaged in the gravel business.

In 1944 he returned to New Ulm to await his call to the service and during that time he was employed at the Eagle Roller Mill company. He received his honorable discharge from the army the same year and returned to New Ulm to continue his musical career. In 1946 he organized his own orchestra which is affiliated with the Columbia Records company. The orchestra is famous for "old time" music but the conductor was equally proficient as a jazz player before he organized his own group of musicians. Among the members of the band are two brothers, Virgil who composed and arranged much of the music and Edward G. who just completed a season with the band, before entering the University of Minnesota. Mr. Wagner and Miss Florence Sjorgren were married in Armstrong, Iowa, November 14, 1987. Since he organized his orchestra, she has been his secretary and close advisor. Besides his wife, one daughter, Karen Ann survives. Other survivors include his parents, two brothers, Virgil and Edward Gardelle, and one sister, Mrs. Harley (Oradelle) Schneider. The recordings of the Wagner orchestra will preserve for all time the music which has given the conductor a permanent place in the heart of the community.

Edward J. Schroeder active in business affairs in this community for over a quarter of a century, died suddenly at his home 312 South Minnesota Street at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Mr. Schroeder had complained of feeling ill Sunday and consulted a physician but he went about his business as usual, the day of his death. The immediate cause of his death was a stroke. Funeral services will be conducted from Frieden's Evamgelical and Reformed church, Friday at 2 p.m., the Rev. F.R. Iseli officiating. Burial will be in the City Cemetery. The body will lie in state at the Gedstad Funeral home Thursday afternoon and evening. Mr. Schroeder was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schroeder and was born in Essig November 7, 1899. He grew to manhood there and was married to Miss Helen Woebke in Walnut Grove, August 12, 1923. Since their marriage New Ulm has always been their home. He was employed at the Sunlight Creamery 10 years, and he then operated the Schroeder Bakery with his brother Lester, seven years. After it was disposed of he was in charge of the Handy Food Market three years. For the past eight years he has been in the bottled gas business with offices at Schroeder's Music and Appliances store. Besides his widow, he is survived by two children, Kenneth, New Ulm and Janice, at home. One daughter died in infancy. Also surviving is one brother, Lester M. Schroeder, New Ulm.

Hi All, Main interest in family names: Gulden (Nicholas), Henle (Anton), Klinkhammer (need lots of help), Groebner, Krambeer. I am somewhat new to the list and have never responded to a roll call before and therefore don’t know exactly how to respond. I have been able to help a couple of people looking for things but myself I am not looking for anything in particular. I do enjoy searching for items that fit into my families. I belong to the German Bohemian Society (board of directors), Junior Pioneers, Wanda Gag Society, and Brown County Historical Society all of New Ulm. I live in North Mankato but was born and raised in New Ulm, graduated Cathedral 1960, 7 years Navy nuclear submarines, belong to National Corvette Restorers Society. No webpage. Keep Searching, Regards, Jerry Gulden<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href="http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p>
