Thanks for your advice. I'd like to ask another question. The Obit just refer to his birthplace as "on the border of Canada and New York". Can anyone think of another way to find out where in Canada to look. From the obits I know : He was married in Dane or Dodge county. He was in Company D, 5th Wi infantry He held the office of city marshall (Stevens Point) and deputy sheriff. Thank You.
