Hello, The Husting family in Theresa were direct descendants of Solomon Juneau http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wlhba_images/007/00700011.gif with one of them being elected to the US Senate http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wlhba_images/006/00600656.gif Senator was later tragically killed while duck hunting. I am a direct-line descendant of the Greiner family. Please contact me directly if you need anything.

The column is headed, "News in Review, _Dodge County Pionier_, October 13, 1892." But it is in English, so may be a translation from a much more recent Mayville newspaper? "An exceptional example of German craftsmanship in clockmaking will be on display at Herberg's concert hall. The clock is 12 feet high and 10 feet wide, it weighs 1,500 pounds and its 265 wheels are kept in motion by a pendulum. Admission charge is 10 cents. This masterpiece will be installed in E. Husting's tavern in Theresa, after the showing here." Our questions: Where was Herberg's concert hall located? Are any photos available of this clock? Can't imagine what it looked like! Did this clock continue to travel around the US, on exhibition, or does it still exist in Theresa or anywhere in the area? An ALBERT family relative of mine married Hulda HERBERG, who may possibly be related to the concert hall owners? Thanks for any information or suggestions, Tom & Barb Glassel Researching ALBERT, GREINER, STADLER, ENDE, FRITZ, ZOLLINGER, SCHWARZMUELLER, FUERTNER in Dodge County ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WIDODGE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
