William Thiemann buried in Wildwood Cemetery in the city of Sheboygan. THIEMANN, G. William, Oct. 9, 1821 - May 31, 1900 THIEMANN, Anna L., Feb. 29, 1836 - July 31, 1872 THIEMANN, Louis G., Nov. 15, 1864 - Oct. 21, 1885 THIEMANN, Waldemar, May 11, 1866 - Aug. 6, 1920 The 1880 census seems to prove that this is the correct family.

William is the right age. And there is a son, Lewis/Louis living in the house who is about the right age. Wallace and Waldemar are probably one and the same. And I would assume huckster means merchant. I don't know why they are buried in Wildwood instead of in a cemetery in Sheboygan Falls. But there they are -- I think. You could probably get more information from a death certificate. There would most likely be one available for G. William since he died in 1900 and that might give you more information, including his place of birth, if you don't have that. I can also see if there is an obit for him the next time I go to the library. If he was a merchant, there would probably be at least some mention in the paper. Hope this helps. Peggy Hoffmann
