This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Steltzner, Becker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZEC.2ACE/1157.1 Message Board Post: There are two Steltzner household mentioned in the "History of Barron County," 1926, but neither mentions an Irene. The first one is Henry August Steltzner, to U.S. from Switzerland in 1868, moved to Town of Stanley, Barron County WI in 1870. Wife, Mary Becker, children (9) Peter, August, Magdalena,Christian, Andrew and Louis W., living at that time, and Henry, Lucy and Elizabeth, deceased. The second is Louis W. Steltzner (Henry's son) who was apparently unmarried at that time. His father (Henry) died when he was a small child and Louis stayed on the home farm and took care of his mother. (I have condensed and parapharased these paragraphs. There is a little more info if you need it.)
