Smith, Are you researching the Leist family? Records from the Juneau County courthouse in Mauston list Gustav Carl A Leist married to Ernestine Emma F Retzlaff on 11 Jan 1899. He was living in town of Wonewoc and she was the daughter of Friedrich Retzlaff (deceased). According to my records her mother was Friedericke Brukow. Chances are Harold was born near Elroy as all three of the Leists are buried in Elroy City Cemetery. Jenni
