I see that in the Antigo Republican Feb. 2, 1911 a sister of Emma named Anna is mentioned, which is another postive link to the Buresh family I feel is probably Emma's. I have a date of Feb. 8, 1878 for the marriage of Peter Buresh and Mary Hynek. I am unable to locate the family on any census prior to 1900, and by then Emma Buresh would have married and left her parents home. However, I have located some census returns that I believe are the Buresh family to which Emma belonged. Despite the differences in surname spelling this is pretty definitely the same family throughout the years: 1900 US Census, Rolling, Langlade, WI Mary Barish - Children: Mary, Peter, Jennie, Annie On this census Mary is listed as married, head of household, mother of 6 children, 5 living. Mary's husband Peter does not seem to be living with the family. 1905 Wisconsin State Census, Rolling, Langlade, WI Peter Buresh, Mary Buresh - Children: Peter, Jennie, Annie. Peter (husband) is again living with his family. 1910 US Census, Antigo, Ward 4, Langlade, WI Peter Benish (Peter Burish) Mary Benish Children: Peter, Jennie, Anna 1920 US Census, Antigo, Ward 4, Langlade, WI Peter Bourish (Peter Bowrish) Mary Bourish Also buried in Queen of Peace Cemetery, Antigo Burish, Peter 1852 - 1925 Burish, Mary 1861 - 1937 These dates would coincide with birth dates on the above census returns.
