I would like to have the rest of Henrys family if you have it. I am including Victoria Obit so it might help someone help me find what Nursery they are refering to . The following is a Translation from the Dayton German newspaper. Printed first on Feb 13, 1901 in the "Daytoner Volks-Zeitung" newspaper. Reprinted on March 9, 1901 with a Photograph,in the "GedenkBatter" a magaqine suplement to the "Daytoner Volks-Zeitung". Victoria Madlinger, 11 Feb 1901 Mrs. Victoria Madlinger, one of the first (female) German-American settler in theis area, died yesterday befroe noon after being bed-ridden for only 10 days. She was born on the 16th of june 1819, in Dasbachried near the city of Achern, in the Duthcy of Baden, Germany, attaining the age of 82. She is the widow of Anton Madlinger. As early as the middle 40's her family immigrated to the USA and settled in Dayton, Ohio, along the Old Troy Pike, the same place where Mrs. Madlinger died; however, at that time it was still a wilderness and only through the untiring hard work of the settler, the Miami Valley as it is known today, became recognized as the Garden Spot of Ohio. Eventually, at this place, a nursery was established mainly through the efforts of Mrs. Madlinger because her husband died 42 years prior to this time. As the children Grew up she gave the business to her children, consequently, her burden became lighter, even so, her hands were seldon idle. As she was growing up she became accustomed to hard work, and even last summer she was working the field more for fondness of her work rather than having to do it for existence. Ten days before she died she experienced an inflammation of the lunges and due to her advanced age hope for her recovery proved to be fatal. An adult daughter, Mrs. Daniel Glaser, preceded her mother in death, where as a son and six daughters survived her: Anton Madlinger Maria Wald Magdelena Wahrer Josephine Nock Sophia Hambrecht Louise Trick Catherine Koehler Mrs. Madlinger is also survived by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a sister Magdalene Schnetz and wide circle of acquaintances and friends. Mrs. Madlinger belonged to the Alter Society of Holy Rosary Church. Thanks Laura Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
