Hello, Saw the message about the Schmidt family. Not sure if there is any connection but I am related to Schmidt's in that area. They were not from Prussia though, they were from Cologne Germany. My Great x 3 grandparents names were Henry Schmidt (04/08/1839-01/03/1903) and Marie Schmidt (03/31/1849-07/21/1907. Their children were <Gertrude, Kate, Mary, Barbara, Minnie, Odelis, Ann, Christina, Henrich, Matt, John, and another Christina so I'm unsure if one of them died. If this helps the researcher about her Schmidt then great. If she recognizes any of those names let me know.

Viroqua itself is in Vernon County, but that is considered a "dry" community. There are very few establishments that serve liquor or beer. There is the old Nate's supper club, Viking Inn, Eagles Club,VFW and the American Legion. That is pretty much it in Viroqua. I did see a Thomas O'Connor buried in the Catholic cemetery in La Crosse next to a Dolores Marie Goodenough and she is listed as daughter, but she may be the daughter of the family in the next lot. The next time I am in La Crosse I will go to the register of deeds and see if there is anything on his death certificate, and I will also try to see if there is an obit for him after I get the exact death date.

To the Gjestvang researcher: In the 1930's / 1940's there was a Gjestvang family in the Osseo, Wisconsin area, in Trempealeau County. Trempealeau County is on the north side of La Crosse County, and was / is very Norwegian territory. You might keep in mind. Bill Allen, raised in Osseo 1920 to 1947.
