Saw your posting on the Monroe County site. My great-aunt by marriage, Rose Frohmader, who married Jibbe Willgrubs, was Amelia's sister. I had an e-mail address for a grandson, but lost it in a computer crash. Is what you have an actual wedding certificate, or possibly a copy of the record from the book at the courthouse? as that I have easily available to me. I called Rosa's grandson and left a message, but have received no reply.

I am searching for information on the death of DR I. S. MUNSON. He died 17th of May 1890 in Cataract, Monroe Co. WI. I am curious to what he died of. I also am looking for the marriage of DR. I. S. MUNSON to HANNAH ELMIRA MCCRAY, they would have married sometime after Sept 1879 as that is when her first husband passed away. Verna

Hi List, Just found out from Audrey at the historical society through an obit for my gg Grandfather, Fred Kelly, that he "was the last of the 7 Kelly brothers". Fred lived and died in Kendall, Monroe County for half his life. Does anyone know what the names of the other 6 "Kelly brothers" were or have any info on the parents-John and Jane (Barbara Jane)? The obit states he was survived by Step-brothers John, Arthur and Abe Sutcliffe. I've heard mention of that name during conversations with my family but nobody seemed to know the connection. It seems that John and Jane must have split and John remarried a woman named Sutcliffe (this must have been her second marriage too). I don't know her first name or anything else about her. Can anyone help?? Audrey is working on this for me but thought I'd see if I could get any info from you guys to start my investigation. Thanks, Sue

Hi James Sophia Maria Kastens is my Grandmother. However, according to my records, she was married to August Heeler June 26, 1912 in Monroe County. Perhaps this is not the Sophia you are looking for. But August Heeler's sister, Ida Pauline was married to Fred August Birkholz, March 18, 1887, in Monroe County. I could not find any other Sophia Kastens in my Family Tree notes, but I will look in the County records the next time I go to Sparta register of deeds. Do you have any more information what the G L stands for in Mr Birkholz's name?

I would like to invite you to explore my new website The POORHOUSE STORY at http://www.poorhousestory.com which is a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American Poorhouses. We are pleased to let you know that we have just posted a photograph of the MONROE County Poorhouse on the Wisconsin page at http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_wisconsin.htm It is an incredibly moving photo which evokes a lot of emotion. Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to post any information you may have about that or any other poorhouse ... either on the MESSAGE BOARD or by e-mailing me. The only way this site will grow to include more WISCONSIN info is by kind folks tipping me off to it!!! <grin> Please don't respond to me on this list. (I would get FIRED or SUED by my ISP if I maintained subscriptions to all the e-mail lists on which I post announcements!! <grin>) Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

Hello, I have been looking for this gentleman, b.1834, for quite a while. I finally found a death certificate, which I purchased from The Monroe County Registrar of Deeds.
