    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: POWELL, FREUND Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WOBBAIB/5189.1 Message Board Post: Benjamin Powell is buried at Hillside Cemetery, Marshfield. There is nothing else engraved on his headstone except the words “Col 7 Wis Inf”. I have posted obituaries for John Powell and his wife Caroline nee Freund. They were married by Judge Hahn of Marshfield. John’s obit states he was born in Plainfield and moved to Marshfield as a young boy, yet Benjamin and Jane were listed in the 1880 U.S. census living in Marshfield. Alice Lillia Emma Powell was born 26 Jun 1906 and baptized 6 Jan 1907 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Hewitt, Wood County, and Esther Katharina Emilia Powell was born 30 Oct 1909 and baptized 13 Feb 1910, also at Immanuel. According to the 1910 U.S. census Caroline had a third child before 1910, but there is no record of his/her baptism or burial at Immanuel. Other Powell burials at Hillside include Henry A (17 Oct 1911 – 4 Oct 1981) and Robert E – Wis. A 1st Cl US AF (9 Oct 1939 – 18 Mar 1967). I am not related to this family nor do I have more information on the Powells. However, Caroline’s parents and grandparents also lived in the Marshfield area and I have more information on them if you are interested.
