She spent her youth in the Eastern States and there was married to James McLane. A few years after their marriage they moved to Marquette County, Wisconsin, where they spent the remainder of their lives. To this union were born six children, two dying in infancy, and Nellie who died at the age of twenty-five, and the three surviving children; Mrs. Sam Querns, and James and John, all living in Marquette County. Mr. McLane died in 1873, leaving his wife in the care of four little children. Her life has been swept by the winds of sorrow, suffering and adversity, but her Christian faith has provided her with strength to meet them, and she had looked forward wth joy to the final release from earthly tribulation. Mother, we cannot wish you back again; We know you are happier there, In the land of God's anointed, Free from earthly pain and care. But we have such pleasant memories, Reaching back to childhood days, When we followed where you led us, 'Til we reached life's highway. Then we knew what you had suffered, In those sufferings of your own, And we're glad that you will reap reward, At the foot of the Great White Throne.

My great-grandfather, Henry Pehlke, born Sept. 1858 had an older sister named Augusta Pehlke. Augusta was born in 1856. According to the 1870 census, the family was living in Shields Twp. in Marquette Co. (Augusta was 14 years old at that time.) Family tales have it that Augusta died in an asylum, but no one knows what year. The family is still residing in Shields Twp. according to the 1880 census, minus Augusta. So, somewhere between 1870 & 1880, she was supposedly admitted to the asylum, and very well could have died within any of those years. How do I go about finding out what asylums were in existence at the time? How do I find out when she was admitted? She's not buried with the rest of the family in Eau Claire Co., so I would also like to find out where she could possibly be buried. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Angela

Others living in that household were Augusta J. (Gotlip's wife of 32 years as of 1910, age 50), son Alfred (age 17) and daughter Manda (age 13). John's age is given as 74, which fits his birth year of 1825; the 1900 census said he was age 69 and born in 1831 -- so we have a discrepancy here. Jean B.

He was my ancestor, and I didn't know who his wife was or where he was born. I recently found John on the 1900 Federal Census in Packwaukee, Marquette Co. His name was spelled John Yankee on this census. He was listed as being Gotlieb Zarbock's father-in-law (age 69 at the time, born Nov. 1856 in Germany). John was living with his daughter (Gusta - age 41) at the time plus Gusta and Gotlieb's children Gust (age 19), Bertha (age 17), Gusta (age 16), Minnie (age 10), Alfred [I think - this name is hard to read] (age 7), Manda (age 3). Also living in this household was George Street (in-law, age 22) and George's wife and Gotlieb's daughter Emma (age 20 or 21 -- says 20 on form with the number 1 above the 0). This census shows that Gusta (John Jahnke's daughter) immigrated in 1872 from Germany. Gusta and Gotlieb were married 22 years at the time this census was taken. Jean B.
