I hope one of our knowledgeable readers can help me with a question. My great grandfather died as the result of accidently being burned at the above company in 1908. The company was located at the corner of 32nd and Vliets Streets. I am wondering what kind of a manufacturing company this was. Thanks in advance. Pat B.

Hello I wondered if anyone has a Milwaukee City Directory from about 1911 - 1915. I am looking for Herbert Davidson with wife Sophia and they possibly were living at 749 1st St. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for your input. That is a possibility. Her husband died just three months after she did.

I am looking for informaiton about a Brueckner family that lived in Milwaukee from about 1892. THere is an August Bruckner married to Ida (I found Ida as a widow in 1900 census) and August died in 1899. Their children are Max, Otto, Hulda married to Ernst Goll, Hilmer and Armin Brueckner. Any help appreciated.

Marcie - The county of Pima (Tucson) has a public fiduciary who takes care of a person's finances when they are no longer able to care for themselves and don't have family to do it. Perhaps this is what happened.

That is very true. I hadn't thought of that. Good idea, Alison. That would explain why it says Court Milwaukee instead of Milwaukee County Court.

Hi folks - Another idea here. Were any fraternal organizations or other clubs mentioned in the obit? Sometimes they have "Courts", and it is not uncommon for them to conduct funeral services for their members. The "Court No. 18" really sounds like a fraternal order to me.

No one else has come up with a better idea than what you came up with. I'm inclined to agree with you. Thanks for helping me, I appreciate it. A few years ago I did some transcribing for you, I had a different email addy then. It was Spud-Z@Cbpu.com. I also sent you some information that you posted to your site. You can change your records to reflect my new addy if you like. Also, would you like to post the obits that I recently acquired? If so, I will send them to you. Send me the address where I should send them.

Hmm.... My guess (and only a guess) is that the services were paid for by the court. When I have heard the term "under the auspices of" ....it usually refers to someone whose legal counsel is paid for by the court. Pro Bono lawyer if you will.

Just what would "Services under auspices of Court Milwaukee No. 18" mean when it appeared in a death notice or obituary? Thanks for any help. Marcie

I just received results from the two pension files that I ordered. They have been a great resource, but $125 is steep!

I am sorry but this outrages me as We the people are the Government and we need to start taking it back. What a sad Country we have become, we are all in search of our forefathers who made this a Great Nation, yet we sit back and let everything they fought and believed in be taking away from us little by little. Even our pets are not safe. Imagine what maybe in the food we eat and the medicines we take? I think we the people of the United States need to start PROTESTING in the Streets. They just don't want people to do anything any more. This is going to a one world order,. With thousands of people, if not millions losing their jobs, inflation on everything is gouging us, but yet ILLEGALs get all the REWARDS. WAKE UP PEOPLE....................we ALL are one step away from being homeless. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Anderson" <panderso@charter.net> To: <WIMILWAU@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 9:09 PM Subject: [WIMILWAU] Possible Fee Increases WI Vital Records & at NARA > State Issue: Vital Records Increases Senate Bill 40, the budget bill, > contains provisions that will increase the price of birth records > including each copy from $12 to $20 and increase marriage, death and > divorce records including each copy from $7 to $20.
