My William Hoppe is buried in Wanderer's Rest!!! He died May 13, 1913. His wife's name was Auguste Bublitz. I have no idea who in that cemetery is related to my William. But sure would love to know. ~Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Nokes" <snokes@tscnet.com> To: <WIMILWAU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 1:30 AM Subject: [WiMilwau] Lutheran Churches in Milwaukee 1870-1886??? > Gypsy Woman, > > Thank you for the information on the German Lutheran Churches in Milwaukee. > My German/Lutheran Families arrived around 1870.... > > William Frederick August Hoppe arrived in1871.
