    1. Re: [WiMilwau] CEMETERIES
    2. Good morning, Saw your query re: the Hollister surname. I can't answer your query about Baptist Churches in the area but I highly doubt any from that era would still be around unless it would be in downtown Milwaukee. I was a Lutheran minister and none of my denomination are still around that I know of except three in downtown Milwaukee from that era. Regarding the HOLLISTER surname, do you have any given names. About that time Waukesha County was still a part of Milwaukee County. Many people from Waukesha, therefore had burials made where I do research for families, historic Forest Home Cemetery where most of the "big" names of early Milwaukee History are buried. I also do quite a bit of reading into Milwaukee County History which falls over into what is not Waukesha County also but only back in the early days before the division into two counties. One of the most well-known persons with that surname is DAVID STEPHEN HOLLISTER. Others that I wrote down their names and page numbers from the 20 volumes of Milwaukee History that I have read are: MRS. DAVID STEPHEN, MISS ELIZA, JUNIUS S., MRS. JUNIUS W., MRS. MARY, MARY ELLEN, JOSEPH, STEPHEN, O.J. and I am sure there would be more as this is from just two of the series of the volumes that I have read. Friday, the day I donate at Forest Home I will also look into our burial records there. Would appreciate any given names, though, that you might have. Bob of Brookfield
