    1. Re: [WIWALWOR] Rokenbrodt descendants
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: RichardFreis11 Surnames: Rokenbrodt, Sawyer, Stuver, Wheeler Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.walworth/933.3.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thanks to the research efforts of Shirley Sisk, I may be able to provide you more information on Georgia Wheeler. My Rokenbrodt relative, William J. Rokenbrodt, married Ida M. Williams. I had always thought the daughter listed in the news article about his death in 1934 was the daughter of this marriage. Not so. William Rokenbrodt married Ida Williams on 20 December 1893. She was either preganant with Georgia or had recently given birth, because Georgia was presumed to have been born in 1893 or 1894. Don't know what happened to the first husband of Ida. Curious that when Ida married William Rokenbrodt, she appeared to use her maiden name, Williams, rather that the surname of her first husband. Shirley found that: Ida was previously married to a Dougal and had one child, Georgia, born in 1893 or 1894. Georgia married Charles G. Sawyer and they had three children - George, Lillie Mae (Libby) and Margaret (Marguerite). [Marguerite married William Stuver] Something happened to this marriage because around 1912, Georgia married Leo Wheeler. In the William J. Rokenbrodt family plot in the Darien Cemetery, William Stuver is in grave 1, William J. Rokenbrodt is in gave 2, his wife Ida M., is in gave 3, Mrs. Georgia Wheeler is in grave 6 and Larry Stuver is in grave 7. Lillie Mae Sawyer, born in 1907 and died 12 Jun 1912 is in grave 8. Graves 4 and 5 are apparently empty. I don't have any more information on Leo Wheeler. Georgia was living with Marguerite and Bill Stuver in 1929. You note that Leo Wheeler is in the 1930 census, so perhaps he was living in the same home. Georgia died in 1960. Maybe this information will help your "Wheeler" family story.

    1. [WIWALWOR] Wetomachek Camp at Powers Lake
    2. Bob Krebs
    3. I'm searching for any information or pictures of Wetomachek Camp at Powers Lake. In the 1920's, the camp was owned and operated by the Chicago Normal School of Physical Education, CNSPE. As my mother graduated from this school in 1925, she attended this camp in 1924. I'm researching both the school and the camp. I'm very curious as to the history of the camp and what eventually became of the camp. I do have a number of pictures, two yearbooks and other information on the school and some on the camp, if anyone has an interest. Thanks very much. Bob Krebs

I don't know what cemetery John and Chloe Farnum are buried in. I checked a few of the older cemetery lists and didn't find them listed. Even if I did find the stones right now there is about 6 or more inches of snow on the ground, so pictures would be pretty difficult to do. Most cemeteries are not even plowed out unless it is necessary for a funeral. When I did those pictures in 2003 for you of Mrs. E. B. Farnum and her daughter Sylvia I didn't know at the time that son Willis Edward Farnum was also buried in North Geneva cemetery. Willis Edward died in 1930. He is in a different section of the cemetery evidently. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
