I have not been able to find Adelia T. Haven's death and burial info. I do not know who the other Havens are buried in the lot, but they are not her children. In 1870 Census Adelia is a farmer in Dane Co., WI, listed below other Haven families on the same page. So I'm sure these other are relatives of her deceased husband. Adelia lost two husbands before her 34th birthday, and never married again. Adelia moved with her second husband, Edgar Haven, to WI from Webster, Monroe Co., NY. She was the daughter of Thomas Festus Bancroft and his 1st wife, Jane Thomas. Thanks again. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Torture Trio Gets One to Three Years — Dresen and Greiber Given Extra Year for Wearing Masks Sentences of one to three years in the state reformatory in Green Bay were imposed Tuesday afternoon on John Dresen, Jr., Elmer Greiber, and Norbert Theis for the attempted "torture" robbery of Mike Lenertz (sic), Roxbury storekeeper. In addition, Dresen and Greiber were given sentences of not less than a year for wearing when they entered the store and poured hot water on Lenertz's (sic) legs to make him divulge the whereabouts of his money. Weep Over Sentences The three 22-year old bandits all wept when Judge Roy H. Proctor, of superior court, pronounced sentence upon them. The additional sentences for Greiber and Dresen will run concurrently with the sentence for robbery. The charge against them was assault with intent to rob while armed with a dangerous weapon. Pleads for Theis Pleading mitigating circumstances for Theis, Lawrence W. Hall, Madison attorney, pointed out that he had had a good reputation in the community before he was arrested, according to the testimony of a number of neighbors. William Treichel, assistant district attorney, scouted the idea advanced by Theis on the stand that he did not know there was a gun in the car or that he did not know the exact purpose of the trip. Judge Proctor refused to change the charge against Theis so as to make him an accessory instead of a principal. Mrs. Matt Theis, mother of Norbert, took the stand in the afternoon to tell the court she had never had any trouble with her son until he was arrested for this crime. H. A. Lochner, an uncle, and Raymond Schaachte (sic), a neighbor, also took the stand for the boy. Dresen and Greiber were not represented by attorneys and made no attempt to bring in witnesses.

THREE ADMIT LENERTZ (sic) TORTURE, OTHER ACTS Faulty Alibis Trap Trio in Roxbury Plot Farm Youths Confess Series of Minor Thefts When Stories Collapse; Sentence Deferred By Kenneth R. Kennedy Three 22-year-old youths pleaded guilty in superior court today to the attempted "torture robbery" of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Lenertz (sic), Roxbury, last Saturday night. The three are: John G. Dresen, Jr., 22, Martinsville Elmer Greiber, 22, town of Roxbury Norbert Theis, 22, Marxville. Sentence was deferred by Judge Roy H. Proctor this morning after they had entered their pleas and had given statements to the court, Sheriff Fred T. Finn, and William Treichel, assistant district attorney, in which they admitted a number of minor thefts in the district about their homes. Alibis Collapse Sheriff Finn and Deputy Melvin Bailey arrested the trio Wednesday, and faulty alibis of Greiber and Theis resulted in their confessions. Greiber confessed at 4:30 p. m. Wednesday, implicating the other two. Theis admitted his part in the Lenertz (sic) store robbery at 11 p. m. Dresen did not confess to the officers but pleaded guilty in court today. Greiber and Theis were questioned by the officers Monday but were not taken into custody until Wednesday when intensive investigation revealed the flaws in their alibis. Suspicion first turned to them because they were known to have carried guns at times. Only two men entered the store, and Dresen was not under suspicion until his part in the affair was revealed by Theis and Greiber. He carried the only gun in the party. The boys planned the robbery a week ago Tuesday and put their plan into execution last Saturday night, but were frightened off when Lenertz (sic) kicked over the show case. Dresen on Probation Dresen was arrested last summer as one of a gang in the town of Roxbury which had committed a number of robberies, chiefly of gas from automobiles. He was placed on probation. According to Greiber and Theis, he was the only armed member of the trio and it was he who struck Lenertz (sic) over the head with the weapon and otherwise mistreated the storekeeper in an effort to force him to reveal where his money was hidden. The youths were arrested by Sheriff Finn and Melvin Bailey after three days of intensive investigation. Exchanged Machines According to the story told to the sheriff, Dresen drove to the Joseph Kipley (sic) farm near Roxbury where Greiber works, picked up Greiber, and drove to Marxville, where they found Theis. Driving to Roxbury, they left Dresen's machine parked about a mile from the village and went to the Lenertz (sic) store in Theis' car. Mr. and Mrs. Lenertz (sic) were just closing their store when the two bandits appeared and held them up. Lenertz (sic) tried to reach the telephone, and Dresen knocked him down with the butt of his gun, according to the story told the sheriff. The telephone was jerked from the wall. While they were struggling with Lenertz (sic), the show case fell and the bandits fled, according to Greiber and Theis. Alibi Stories Leaky Greiber and Theis were questioned by the sheriff and Bailey on Monday and they had alibi stories which had large loopholes in them according to the sheriff. Wednesday the sheriff brought in Greiber and after several hours of questioning, he confessed. Theis confessed late Wednesday night. Greiber first told the sheriff that on the night of the robbery he told Kippley he intended to go to town and get a hair cut. Kippley offered to loan him his car, but Greiber said his brother would come after him. He walked out to the road, and Kippley did not see whether he got into a car or not. He came back two and a half hours later, saying he had been home and had taken a bath. He claimed he had walked both ways, but Sheriff Finn found a witness who said he saw a car waiting for him outside the Kippley gate. The sheriff also had found his sheepskin coat with a spot of blood on one sleeve. Greiber First to Confess Faced with these facts, Greiber confessed, implicating the other two. Theis claimed he had left his home to go to town and started back almost immediately. However, he did not return home for more than two hours, and explained the lapse of time by claiming he had to stop on the road to fix his carburetor. Several motorists who passed by the place where he stopped reported that they had seen the car parked there that night. The sheriff also discovered that the carburetor on the machine had not been touched. That blasted his alibi, according to the sheriff. Dresen Claims Alibi Dresen claims that he was at home all night Saturday. Greiber and Theis also confessed they took some goods from the Sears Roebuck store here, according to the sheriff. Some of the goods, including a pair of rubber gloves, were found in Greiber's ..., according to Finn. After the robbery, the trio drove to Sauk City. Afterwards Greiber said he and Dresen drove back to Roxbury to see what was going on as a result of the attempted robbery. Wisconsin State Journal, 2 Mar 1933, p. 1, col. 3 and p. 7. col. 1
