1. EDWARD M.2 LAESSIG (EDWARD1) was born March 10, 1858 in Green Bay, WI, and died March 18, 1929. He married (3) AMELIA FRICK April 06, 1884 in Wausau, WI, daughter of FREDERICK FRICK. She was born November 30, 1865 in Germany, and died November 21, 1947. Notes for EDWARD M. LAESSIG: Occupation: Drove delivery for Ruder Brewery in Wausau, WI (per Robert Laessig) Farmers, Stratford, WI North of Big Eau Pleine River. As a child he was lifted up to see President Lincoln in his coffin. In her Christmas card of December 2002 my Aunt Virginia Laessig Harter wrote.. "My uncle Ed's family...used to live near the river called the Little Rapids. My uncle Charlie (your great uncle) owned the land at the Big Rapids. Maybe the Laessig's in Milwaukee don't know much about their ancestors." " My uncle Edward Laessig and Aunt Amelia lived on the farm and after "Hiney" (Henry) got married they moved to Stratford. Hiney's wife died leaving him with four children. Uncle Ed and wife moved back to the farm to help take care of the children. Just a little history of that family." Edmund LAESSIG and his wife "Lizzy" BURKART moved to the Milwaukee area and their children were as follows. Children of EDMUND LAESSIG and ELIZABETH BURKART are: i. RAY4 LAESSIG. ii. VIOLA LAESSIG. iii. KENNETH LAESSIG. iv. AGNES LAESSIG, b. Wausau, WI. v. GERTRUDE LAESSIG. vi. YVONNE LAESSIG. vii. MORRIS LAESSIG, b. June 13, 19163; d. January 01, 19903. I would appreciate further information on the descendants of Edmund and Lizzie, also contact with cousins. Patti Laessig at [email protected]
