Hi Tim, Yes. Our Adolphus' grandson, George W. Walrath b. March 19, 1831, moved to LaCrosse, WI with his spouse, Marian Swift Walrath, in 1860. Lived there about ten years. Two sons born (one was my grandfather). Their names were Lue Leroy and Charles Percy. Then the family moved to Sacramento, CA, where I was born in 1929. Most of them are buried there. While in LaCrosse, George W. Walrath was a riverboat captain for one year up and down the Mississippi. He was also a newspaper editor some of those years. I have newspaper copies of some of those editions. He lived some place else in Wisconsin before moving to LaCrosse, but I haven't discovered where. I wish I could go back in time and ask them a few questions. Don't we all????

Thanks, Dorothy. Just curious about your Walrath's - for that name also shows up in counties I host in Wisconsin. Just wondering if some of yours wandered out that way.

I looked in my counties in Wisconsin and the name didn't come up so I'll have to ponder this one some more. Tim
