Michelle: I was waiting a day or two to see whether anyone else responded to this note. I haven't seen much, so I will send my little bit of news. Hope that it helps. In the book, "125th Anniversary of St. John's Church," under the death list for 1892, Charlotte, nee Geske, Schlewitz, born 2-25-1841, is listed as decesed on 1-05-1892. Other birth and marriage events are to be found in other lists. The book can be purchased from the Church in Fall Creek. I believe that the SCHLEWITZ are married into my HEHL family somewhere, but don't have those papers close at hand. Happy hunting!
