My husband tells me that there was a Wepking Funeral Home in Lancaster at least until 1990 (not sure if it's still in business). Also, not sure if it was the Harris & Wepking Funeral Home that Barb is asking about in 1954 - however, it might be a lead.

Barb, this isn't an obit, but thought you might be interested in having it. The same or similar item appeared in several WI newspapers on Jan 18. One of them specifies that Burr was the son of Oscar ALLISON. Oshkosh Daily Northwestern Oshkosh, WI 18 Jan 1954, page 17 Burr ALLISON, 17, rural Stitzer, was killed Sunday night when his car went out of control and overturned on Highway 81 between Lancaster and Platteville. Three teen-age companions in the car were uninjured. I am hoping you can tell me where the Harris & Wepking Funeral Home would have been located in Grant County in 1954?

Surnames: Doser, Schumacher Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1073 Message Board Post: Grant County Herald April 11, 1917 Postosi WI The funeral of Miss Hildegarde Schumacher, mention of whose death was made in our las issue, took place Tuesday afternoon, April 3, from the residence of her father to St. Thomas church and was an unusaull sad one, hundreds of people attending to pay their last tribute to the young and beautiful girl. A requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Prucha, and at the conclusion thereof the funeral cortege wended its way to the Catholic cemetery on the hill and the last that was mortal of the dear girl was consigned to the grave by the side of her grandmother. The active pall bearers were Otto Schaal, Virgil Kelley, Geo; Ames, Carl Schumacher, Clarence Zenz and Celestin Kaltenbach. Honorary pall bearers were Gertrude Bazinett, Mary Kelley, Clara Runkel, Emily Phillips, Mary McLaughlin and Viola Stoll. Four young ladies attired in spotless white acted as flower bearers. They were Ottila Patzner, Mathilda Milke, Gertrude Doser and Irene Millan. The floral offerings were! in great profusion and were beautiful and costly ones. Hildegarde was born in the town of Potosi June 7th 1897 and died at Mercy hospital in Chicago, March 31, 1917 aged 19 years, 7 months and 24 days. She was the daughter of Geo. K and Mathilda Doser Schumacher. Her mother died July 29th 1897, leaving her seven months old infant to the tender care of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Doser, who took every possible care of her ,giving her a good Christian training and hig school education. She continued living with the grand parents until the death of the grandmother Jan. 13, 1916, after which she made her home with her aunts, Mrs. Veva Kirgues and Miss mary Doser. She graduated from the Potosi high school June2, 1916. After graduation she became imbued iwith the desire to become a trained nurse. She made application to the Mercy hospital training school for nurses in Chicago, July 8th1916, presenting a number of high class recommendations. She was admitted and on the 2! 6th day of August she left for Chicago to enter the hospital as a stud ent. She made great progress with her studies and was elated in her work, and was happily looking forward to the time when she would be a graduate nurse. She submitted to an operation for appendicitis at the hospital March 15, which was considered a successful one and Hilda was making preparations to spend her Easter in Potosi while regaining her lost strength, but such was not to be. An obstruction of the bowels set in and her physician advised another operation as the means of saving her life and the operation wa performed Saturday March 31 which was considered a unsuccessful one. She rallied only to realize that her condition was serious. She passed away the same evening at 7:25 o’clock comforted with all the rights of the church. Her remains arrived in Potosi Sunday, April 1, and were taken to the home of her father. Hilda was a bright and beautiful girl and was endowed with all the principles of true ladyship. She was of a cheerful disposition and her familiar c! ountenance and happy smile will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her. That she was held in high esteem by the sisters of Mercy hospital is evidenced by the letter appended hereto addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Schumacher. Mercy Hospital, April 2, 1917 Dear Friends; I wish to express to you and the family of our dear Miss Schumacher the most sincere sympathy of the sisters and nurses of Mercy hospital in the sad passing away of your daughter and our beloved companion and friend. We have all grown to love her during her short stay in our family. Her sweet, gentle affectionate personality will be greatly missed. She was most unselfish, always ready to help others by her words, actions and good example. We had a high requiem mass for her this morning and all the sisters and nurses went to Holy Communion for her. She was a lovely soul and we feel sure that our dear Lord wanted her for His very own, and that she is happy with Him in heaven. We shall pray for her and also for her dear parent and family that our dearest Lord will give to eternal rest and to you the grace to bear Patiently this great cross. In loving sympathy, Sister Mary Veronica CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our sincere thanks to out neighbors and friends for their kind assistance in the death of our beloved daughter and niece, Hildegarde Schumacher, and for the beautiful floral offerings. George Schumacher and family and Doser families.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Doser, a bright loveable girl and a most estimable wife. She was born September 4th, 1862, and married to Geo. Schumacher, an excellent young man, June 6 1895. One child remains to solace the father’s heart, but will never feel the fond, warm kisses and endearments of a sainted mother’s love. The funeral was largely attended, the services taking place at St. Andrew’s church in the German Settlement on Saturday forenoon. There the sun now smiles sadly over her new made grave and angels guard the portals of her lonely tomb. “Thy lay is in heaven, thy love is on earth.”

Hi, John. It's nice to hear from you. I remember looking for the other uncles shortly after we found Frank Joe DVORAK in the draft cards. I'm willing to give it another shot. The draft included married men, so Joseph really should be in there. Do you have an exact birth date for Joseph? At least a month (maybe from the 1900 census)? john <[email protected]> wrote: Mary? I had 2 other uncles, but I haven't been able to find them in the WWI index either. Was wondering if you could help. Joseph Dvorak was already married at the time of the war, (married in 1913) so may be he was not required to register, also, Vandy, I'm not sure of his proper name except for Vaclav, he was in a reformatory at age 19 and seems to have never gotten out of trouble after this time, so i am not at all sure if he was required to register either since he had all these troubles........can you help find them? Joseph was born 1888, and Vandy was born 1881. Also, Vandy was born across the sea in Bohemia/Austria.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Weins, Heinrichs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lEC.2ACE/1066 Message Board Post: I received information that the family I was looking for was listed in the 1895 Grant County plat book. I was given the information that the plat book contained about this family, for which I am very thankful to the person who responded to my previous post. Is there a source to buy this plat book or a reproduction of this 1895 plat book? Only this plat book would contain the information I want. The family left Grant County shortly after this book was published and they did not own property when previous plat books were published.
