I have determined in which section the farm was located but not which part of the section. Can anyone tell me what kind of record might have a more detailed description of the boundaries of his farm and where I might find such a record? John S.

He died in Stockbridge in 1868. Wife Phebe survived and lived with daughter Ellen, Mrs George Goff (I have info on her). Other children include Mary Jane, who married Thomas Weeks; Lydia; Jonas Miles (killed in Civil War, may have left a son); Joel Thomas (had son Orrin E and possibly several other children); Horace Baker Brewster; Hiram Lewis Brewster.

How do we locate the person that posted for the Brewster surname, when Ancestry rejects our code name, which is the same as what they sent us. We even re-registered and still can't get through, can you help?. Ron

Whoever is seeking help on Brewster, please email me at rrichter@tds.net, as I can't seem to send you a direct email. Also, please indicate how you are related to John? As we are directly related to his daughter Mary Jane. Will be looking forward to sharing information with you. Ron

My computer has been down, so just read your reply last night. Your info was of great interest to me. My g g grandparents are John and Clara, my g grandmother was their daughter Anna, her daughter Clara was my grandmother. I do have the information on John and Clara's family most of which came from US census. I am attaching their family file from my familytree software, not sure if I have done it right, let me know. Carl and Anna did move to Mn. a few years after they married first in Jackson than in Askov, where they passed away. John and Clara had ten children and from the census it looks like most of them stayed in Calumet county, so once you know who they are you should be able to find more info. I would be interested in any obits of their descendants. I have heard from Lynda Caudell who is a descendant of Michael and Maria Meyer, who were siblings of John and Clara. She sent information on that branch of the family. What branc! h of the family are you on? Interesting that we share the same name and spell it the same. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jan. 22, 1910 p. 1, c. 4 & 5 Father and Daughter Called The family of Mathew Lutz were doubly bereaved during the past week and the sympathy of their friends and acquaintances is universally theirs. On Sunday, Jan. 16th, Mathew Lutz of Shiocton died at St. Elizabeth's hospital, Appleton, following a critical operation. Mr. Lutz was born in Germany sixty-three years ago. He came to this country when a boy of ten years of age and settled with his parents in the village of Franklin, Milwaukee county, assisting them with the pioneer work. He was married in 1870 to Elizabeth Schimpf, their happy union resulting in a family of eleven children, who occupy different but honorable positions in life. Mr. Lutz was of the sturdy German type whose love for his Fatherland was surpassed only by his love for his adopted country, America. He was a model citizen and a fervent Christian who practiced what he believed, a good husband and the best of fathers whom God is sure to reward for his patient sufferings and good works in this world. Th! e remains were brought to this city Monday where his daughter Elizabeth resides and arrangements were made for his funeral with Solemn Requiem Mass at St. Mary's church on Thursday morning, but the death of his daughter, Josefine Lutz, which occurred at Mercy hospital, Stevens Point, at an early hour on Thursday morning, Jan. 20, made it necessary to postpone the funeral until Saturday when father and daughter will be buried from St. Mary's church in this city, at 10:00 o'clock A.M. Miss Josefine Lutz was born in Milwaukee some twenty-five years ago. She was educated in the parochial schools at Freedom and taught school for some years. Later she attended business college at Green Bay and at the time of her death was stenographer in the First National Bank at Stevens Point. Miss Lutz was a noble character in every sense of the word. She was extremely religious and when taken ill she was preparing to become the handmaid of the Lord by entering the convent of the sisters o! f St. Francis Assisi at Milwaukee but the Lord willed otherwise and ca lled her to himself. May father and daughter rest in peace. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
