If you are interested, I'd be happy to transcribe it and email it to you. There is no fee. Of course it will not answer the question of their burial, but describes Charlie's life and marriage and names 10 children. Let me know....

Jauert. Her father is listed as Christian Jauert and her mother as Sophia Heiden. I don't know if this is the same Christian Jauert that was married to Mary Possehl. Elise and her son Rudolf G. Willert, my paternal grandfather, came through Ellis Island in 1905 from Kaliss, Germany, through Hamburg to Luverne, MN. She was 52 (born 1852) and he was 16 (born 1888). I have been trying to find out more about Elise Jauert Willert as well as her husband William Willert. My grandfather Rudolf married Ruth Am End from SW MN in 1918 in Sheboygan county, WI. The marriage license lists Rudolf’s parents as William Willert and Sophia Jauert. I guess there are a few Jauert, Am End (Amend?) and Willert families still in SW MN. If anyone knows anything about these families I’m just starting to put the puzzle together and would appreciate some more pieces that fit. My father’s name was Clarence Willert.
