Hello, I just recently found out that my great-grandmother, Auguste Maria Louise SCHULZE, who was born and raised in Wausau and married her first husband there (William H. HOMRIG), married a 2nd time, to Charles GARSKE, and moved with her new husband to Garske, ND, where she died. I have now ordered and received her death certificate, and because she was associated for most of her life with Wausau, I would like to share the information contained in it with this list, and offer some corrections to the mistakes I see there. A transcript of the certificate is below. I would be very interested to know more about this Charles GARSKE. I have found him in North Dakota in the Federal Censuses of 1900, 1910, and 1920, and in the Dakota Territorial census of 1885. But so much is missing. Any further information would be greatly appreciated. In particular, I understand that he immigrated first to Wausau before homesteading in N.Dak., and that he returned to Wausau at the end of his life, where he died and was buried. I suspect he was also married there too, but that is a mere hunch.
