I print out the land patent of the settlers in my genealogy line. Does anyone know if there is an internet site that would give you the name of the township, if you only have the description? The description is the Section, Township, and range. Marilyn

Am curious -- is there, or will there be, anywhere on the Sauk County GenWeb site to post obituaries, wills, deeds, etc.??? Or -- should these items be posted by using the List? Regards, Colleen e-mail: [email protected]

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the help with this. It was my understanding that this business had roots going back to the Dresen Funeral Home in the 1800s. It's quite a mystery what may have happened to 100 years of records, and also pretty unfortunate.

I am sending this to the list because it might be of interest to everyone. It lists funeral homes, directors etc. for the whole USA. http://www.funeralnet.com/ Patti Phillips Wenham [email protected] wrote: > Kathie Waddell, would you know who the funeral director was in Lake Delton > in the 50's and 60's .Are they still in business and if so I would appreciate > the address .

Kathie Waddell, would you know who the funeral director was in Lake Delton in the 50's and 60's .Are they still in business and if so I would appreciate the address . It's a lead ,perhaps someone on line living in Lake Delton might know. thank you , Don Bluhm

Although the Gnewikow-Hooverson Funeral Home has bought out four different funeral homes in the last 30 years, the previous records were never turned over to them and the locations of those records is unknown to them (and us). Their records only exist for the last 30 years that they have been in existence. Those records would include mostly burial information. They do not have family information. Hope this helps.

Is anyone on this mailing list researching Henry and Sarah (Vandenburg) Dubois who came to Sauk Co., WI, from Washington Co., NY, in 1850? Also in the same party who left New York in May 1850 to settle around Baraboo and Dellona was Henry's brother William DUBOIS, his wife Cynthia EIGHMEY, and their children, plus Cynthia's brother Jarvis EIGHMEY and his wife and children. These 3 families settled within 4 miles of each other. About 1854, William and Henry Dubois's sister Charity and her husband Jacob VANDENBURG and their children left Saratoga Co., NY, and came to Sauk Co. to settle. Perhaps traveling with Jacob Vandenburg and his party was William, Henry, and Charity Dubois' widowed step-mother Mary Dubois, plus their unmarried sister Marie Dubois, their half-brother Alonzo M. Dubois, his wife, and his two nieces Mary LUTHGEN and Francis LUTHGEN, whom Alonzo raised. This group of the family was in NY on the 1850 census, but in Sauk Co. WI for the 1860 census. Henry and Sarah Dubois are buried in the Butterfield Cemetery, Excelsior, along with some of their married children. I am seeking a death date and burial place for Henry's step-mother Mary Dubois. She was on the 1860 census age 74 living with her son in law Jacob Vandenburg. I did not find Mary Dubois, age about 84, on the 1870 census, so it is likely that she died between 1860-1870. If these names are familiar to you, please contact me. -- Helen Graves

Hi, Has anyone on this list tried to get information from the Gnewikow-Hooverson funeral home in Sauk City? I know they've been around for years under a number of different names. I'm wondering what sort of records they've maintained and if it's worth the effort to contact them. Thanks for any help, Kathy Lenerz

Could someone please do a look up for me on this fellow? Philip SLIVER, Westfield Village, Sauk County, 1850, page 33 Thank you, Dawn Sliver Bastounes "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings." Psalm 40:2 KJV 1611

Don What I do is check the Social Security death index for a death date, then order a newspaper reel from my local library. It works pretty well... Colleen

>From the Baraboo News Republic, December 19, 1900: “A man in a little village of Kansas was the father of two sons, and a widow in the same village was the mother of two daughters. The father married the widow’s eldest daughter and the eldest son married the widow, and the youngest son married the youngest daughter. If you can figure out their kin, the case is yours.” ...and you thought you had a genealogist's nightmare!!
