    1. [WIFONDDU] Franz Wilhelm SCHUSSMANN

    3. I'm helping my cousin with her family. Her father was Leo George SCHUSSMANN, His parents were Franz Wilhelm SCHUSSMANN and Eva Katrina WAAG. In the 1880 census for Calumet Village on pages 18 and 19 I find the following Schussmann's: In dwelling 147: William Schussmann, 39, his wife Mary and children, Hedwig, Bertha, Ida and Otto. In dwelling 152: Cate Schussmann, 42, (widow of Franz Wilhelm Schussmann), and their children Frank W., Charles, William, Lina, Anna, Richard, Bana, Leo and Maggie. In dwelling 154 I can't read the husband's first name, His wife appears to be Johanna. They are an older couple, he is a retired carpenter. I wonder if they could be Franz and William's parents. Franz and William and the couple in dwelling 154 were all born in Saxony and I know that Franz had a brother in the area. Franz was a cabinet maker and died between about 1876 and 1880. Are there any city directories or other records that would give the older man's first name, and if possible obituaries or other sources for the relationships between the families? I would very much appreciate a look-up or ideas of where I might find the information. Thanks for any help you can give me.
