Hi, Just got a call fromTed Larson whose father or grandfather was owner of Mortuary in Milwaukee in 1964. He said building was torn down in the early 1970's to widen Hwy 22 I believe he said. He was born in 1965 so he has no idea where records are. Relatives do not even know. Possible records were long ago destroyed. So no Mortuarty Records exist. Have since learned he married abt 1926 & was divorced sometime around the 50's. No childrren. Kathy

Just an observation on the name surname OGDEN. While researching my family name WOOLLEY c 1800 - 1830 there were several members who had their middle names were prominently spelled. A cousin and I Thought they were relatives of Ezchiel and Polly/Mary (Phillips) WOOLLEY. We looked high and low and we were coming up blank. Then my cousin went back to the original baptismal records from Hunterdon Co. NJ and began to examine all the baptismal records and lo and behold there were the surnames. They were contemporaries of Ezekiel and Mary who witnessed the baptismal proceedings. The middle names were from other members of the church but not necessarily their witness. Of course I would be willing to trade information on the surnames of Ogden, Plum and Paxton.

Ok-A friend of mine put me in touch with a current Funeral Home on S 27th St in Milwaukee. He says that was Larsen Brothers which is now Church & Chapel. Larsen Sr died & either his sons or nephew are currently running it. I asked him abt records-he says generally the records go to the next owner or to a next of kin of owner. If you know where funeral Home was in Milwaukee t& is no longer try calling around to a few. Someone their may know who to contact for records. No idea what state it is in now but I was given a phone # to call of a 262 area code. I left a message on Ted Larsens voice mail since he had just left the office a bit before I called.

Is there a snail mail or email address for Potters Field in Milwaukee/Wauwatosa? Also, if there is an office would they have records of anyone buried there, such as death certificate, burial record, etc. Thanks for your time. Marcie

If a public administrator had to sign as informant, I think that would mean there was no other family around to do that. Perhaps this ties in with why they thought he was buried in "Potter's Field." But the cemetery probably wouldn't have much more information than what was on the death cert.

I received in the mail Tuesday Albert Kubitz death cert. It does NOT list State/City of birth, parents names or spouse. It says be was buried from an Independent Mortuary at 1451 N. 27th St, Milwaukee. Burial took place in Forest Hill Cem 3-12-1964 with death 1-31-1964. Questions- How would I find out what Mortuary that was? Funeral Director was Robert C. Baetke. If it is no longer in existence-Where might the records be now? Why would the Public Administrator (Joseph Schoendorf)sign his death cert as Informant? Albert spent 13 days in Milw County General Hospital at 1118 N. 20th St. Is this Hospital still in existence? If so might they give info free or would they charge? If charge-about how much ? Has anyone had good luck in acquiring info from Forest Hill Cem? Do they charge to give you his birth place, name of Parents and Spouse if listed in records? Thank you, Kathy

I've "rescued" an old photograph which is identified as Edward HARSCH. The photograph was taken at the Rice Studio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Edward likely in his 20's or 30's at the time. He appears to be wearing a religious collar in the photograph so I'm guessing that he may have been a minister. I am hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this HARSCH Family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

DONNA, Thank you for this piece of info. The only thing I have to go on is what I'm told. So far much of what I have been told is inaccurate so flying solo on this one untio I get Alberts obit maybe next week or week after.

Be sure to watch the slideshow that is linked from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel site. It shows a lot of photos of the inside of Goldmann's.

Sad news! Goldmann's Dept. Store, a Mitchell St./Southside icon for over a century, will be closing in October. http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=612407

Kathy, One article I read said that Potter's field hadn't had any burials since 1929. Donna ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi all, The clincher came today with an email from GipCWoman. I called my girlfriends dad whose memory has now shifted as to time of death. I gave him what I have repeatedly been getting & explained again why I believed this was his Uncle. I have now been granted permission to order (for reimbursement) Albert Kubitz 1964 death cert from Milwaukee. They are still not 100% convinced this is theirs. Something was said abt Albert being buried in Milwaukee County Cem. (Potters Field -- were his exact words). He had money & owned a business or building of some kind but the Lawyers took all the money & the building. Something abt the Lawyers being scheisters & squabbling over this & that. Why is not remembered. What business or building is not remembered. To all who have helped. I send you a big Thank you & my deep appreciation. Kathy
