I found the surnames MALACHOWITZ and FISCHER listed several times as sponsers for the children of Frank and Anna Klinger (Watertown Records). Does anyone have connections to these surname that might be able to help me find out if their is a familial connection here? The names specifically are: Francis FISCHER Maria FISCHER (twice) Bernard and Mathilda FISCHER (three times) John LANGER (four times) Anna MALACHOWITZ Gotfried MALACHOWITZ (twice) Bertha MALACHOWITZ (three times) Augusta MALACHOWITZ (twice) Thanks, Nicki

Biography of John HUSTIS (Source: The History of Dodge County, Wisconsin. Chicago: Western Historical Company, 1880, p 726) Retired, attorney and counselor at law, Hustisford; born in Phillipstown, Putnam County, New York, 22 October 1810; son of Joseph nd Elizabeth (KNAPP) HUSTIS. He fitted for college at the Fishkill Academy, taught by Rev. Dr. C. WESTBROOK, and entered Yale College in 1829; he graduated among the foremost of his class in 1833; with him were such men as James D. DANA, LL.D., now Professor of Geology and Natural History in tha historic institution; Mr. HUSTIS then studied law a year in the Yale Law School, and afterward in the office of J. HINE, Mount Carmel, New York; was admitted to the bar in 1836, and came to Milwaukee November 1836; here he speculated for a time in real estate, building the first brick block in the city, 1840; this was know as HUSTIS' Block, and stood on the corner of Third and Chestnut Streets until a recent date. In August 1837, he encamped sixteen miles from any house, built a log shanty, and bought 320 acres; on this he sowed the first wheat in Dodge County the same fall; in 1846, Hustisford was laid out by him, and named, as was the township, for him; during 1845 and 1846, he built the first dam across the Rock at this point, and also a saw mill, built the first flouring mill, 1851, and brought his family to the village the same year. Mr. HUSTIS is one of the historic pioneers of the State, as he delivered the first Fourth of July oration in Milwaukee, in 1839, and was associated with JUNEAU, WALKER and KILBOURN; was re-admitted to the bar during the session of the first court held in the city, June 1837, with J. H. TWEEDY, J. ARNOLD, Col. CROCKER, and others; he was elected one of the Milwaukee and Rock River Canal Commissioners by the Territorial Legislature in 1840, and went to Columbus, Ohio, with $100,000 of Territorial bonds. Failing to make the loan, the enterprise was given up, although the Milwaukee dam and two miles of canal were built, giving the town a water power and a fresh impetus. Mr. HUSTIS married Miss Laura A. LUDINGTON, 29 August 1839, in Carmel, New York; Mrs. HUSTIS was born in Kent, Putnam County, New York, and is a cousin of ex-Gov. LUDINGTON; the family, consisting of three daughters: Mary E., Josephine L. and Florence L., and a son, Charles J., has resided in Milwaukee since 1868, though Mr. HUSTIS spends most of his time in the village. He is an old-time Republican in politics, has a residence and about 300 acres of land in Hustisford. = = = This biography, and hundreds of others from Kenosha, Racine, Lafayette, ane Dodge Counties, are available on the WI GenExchange Bio Page.

Dear Dodge County Subscribers, Thanks you for all the help with the old maps and cemetaries. I was in Dodge county today ( I live west of Racine) to try to ferret out more information on the Fay's in Burnett from about 1845-1869, and visited the Horicon Library and the Beaver Dam library. Nice libraries and helpful librarians at both. I stopped at the Watertown Library after those intending to pickup a copy of a news article from 1865 dealing with Emma Fay. But I learned they are on summer hours on Saturday's and closed at 1PM. So, since it will be sometime before I have a free Saturday again, if there is someone that is going to the library there could you just lookup the article and email it to me? According to the index it is listed as "Emma Fay 3/30/1865, School, [Democrat]" I am also continuing to actively research the Burnett Fays if anyone runs into any other information. All help is appreciated. Bob Fay ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

I have received numerous requests for look-ups for Dodge co. Cemeteries and "residents" these past few days. I don't have, at home, that reference material, but am glad to do it as time allows. I called the BD Lib. this morn. asking for the material so that I could answer the requests i have rec'. They told me that they are willing to do look-ups in their cemetery transcribed reference when they get a request. Their web site is <www.beaverdam.lib.wi.us> and on it is listed, under 'genealogy' all the reference material they hold. They have many of the BD Cem.'s and a few others. More are held at the State Historical Lib. in Madison, WI. (I didn't know all this, either<G>) I also have a call into the Horicon Lib. asking them what material they hold on cemeteries. Ginny Horicon, WI I hope this is a help for many people.

Hi:- I need the following information. I hope someone can help me. Does anyone know which church is connected to the Tabor cemetery on Eagle Road near Clyman, Wisconsin? Does anyone know how to contact Mrs. Boeck? She is suppose to have a list of the names of the people buried in the Gensmer cemetery in Williamstown. I also nee the address of the Salem Evangelical Cemetery Association who is suppose to have the records for the Immanuel cemetery, located about 3 miles south of Brownsville on Hwy Y and west of Lomira. There is a house built on the land that once belonged to a church. So many of the german immigrants settled in the LeRoy, Williamstown, Clyman and Hustisford areas in the 1848 -1849 years. Many of the deceased were buried on their farms which no longer exist. Did the churches have holding vaults for the deceased that died in the winter and graves could not be dug? Each question leads to another. Thank you to anyone who can answer these questions. The names I am researching are Lohrberg/Lorberg, Andreas and Regina Weinheimer, Caroline and J.Henry Hemmerling from the Clyman area and the Christian Otterstein family who lived in or near the town of LeRoy and Williamstown. Some of these names are in the LDS search files, but the birth dates and the place of birth are wrong. For these I have a copy of the original records. Thank you, vickie

I have the 1880 Hx of DODGE COUNTY book, if you need a look-up. The Horicon Reporter news printed a list of military personnel buried in the Dodge County cemeteries, on 25 May. Ed Knop, it says, has researched these cemeteries, but perhaps only for the military names. The cem listed for Burnett, w/military buried there, is called the "North Burnett Union Cemetery, in North Burnett". BESKE and LUCK are old names from GAR and Mexican War, respectively. Stone Cem. is listed as "Horicon". hmmm... Also I just purchased the CEMETERIES AND CHURCHES OF DODGE COUNTYL, WI. by Clara Turner, Nov. 1 , 1974, copyright. she has listed all the Cem.'s and the directions and a bit about each of them. Burnett corners Cem is in Sec. 20. Burnett )Junction) in sec. 16. Burnett Union Cem. in Sec. 4 NE "UNKNOWN" Cem Sec. 8 NW Family Cem. Sec. 20 SE-the 2 or 3 markers were gone in '74. Burnett central or Burnett Corners Cem. is Sec 20 SW. And Stone, as you know is Sec. 28 SW(SE?) {This is the way the sheet of paper lists it}. Hope this helps.

I believe the cemetery you refer to is the Burnett Corners Cemetery, sometimes referred to as Burnett Central Cemetery. An index of tombstone inscriptions was prepared for this cemetery in the late 1970's, and is available at the Beaver Dam Community Library in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. I have a copy of this index, too, and anyone needing a lookup in it, please feel free to email me. I also have the index for Stone Cemetery and for Union Cemetery in Burnett Township - same offer applies. I do not know where original cemetery burial records may be found for any of these cemeteries, though. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert W.

Good morning Dodge county, I was in Burnett township a couple of weeks ago tracking down some gr-gr-grandparents. The land grant and census suggests they farmed on the northeast side of Burnett (Junction) in 1850-1860's. I noticed an old cemetary south and a little west of Burnett. It is not Stone cemetary, which is further south. The 1878 Dodge county map shows <squintng hard> what looks to be a church at that location. Does anyone know the name of the cemetary and where interment records might be kept? I am planning another trip to Didge county for further investigation this Saturday, and would appreciate any helpful suggestions. Thanks, Bob Fay ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

I have several members of my Ruhl (Ruehl) line buried in the Rex Burial Ground Cemetery in Dodge County but cannot find it listed in the FHL catalog. Does this cemetery go by another name? Fred Schmidt California

I am seeking information as to the date and place of death of Franziska, wife of Anton Fischer. This couple appears on the 1870 census in Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, both age 70. I could not find them on the 1880 soundex or on the census itself in Greenville or Appleton. The death records of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville show that Anton died at age 86, a widower, and was buried in the church cemetery on November 29, 1884. So Franziska must have died sometime after the summer of 1870 but before November 1884. The church records at St. Mary's do not have a record of her death and Anton's tombstone does not mention her. I believe that her children were Katherina (Mrs. Joseph) Kraus of Greenville d.1880, Barbara(Mrs. Conrad) Kreuzberg of Greenville or Ellington d. 1876, Charles (Karl Fischer) buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in Appleton, and Anna (Mrs. Joseph) Stier. If anyone has further information on Franziska, please let me know. I believe some of her grandchildren lived in Milwaukee and there may have been relatives in the Hartford-Rubicon areas of Wisconsin on the border between Washington and Dodge counties.
