This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: TURNER, GRISWOLD, ELLIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TFC.2ACE/629 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information about Joseph TURNER (b. 1794) married to Mary GRISWOLD - married in NY in 1816. Joseph was Peter Helmer TURNER's brother who also lived in Waukesha 1840-42. They were sons of John TURNER and Mary ELLIS who had 10 children. I don't know when Joseph TURNER came to Waukesha, but he died there (according to a notice of his death which appeared in a California paper) in 1873. Other than his birth, marriage and death dates, and a little about his business life while in NY in the 1820s & 30s, I know nothing about Joseph. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Joanne Turner

(Lydia's father was Chauncey Smith) Then they moved to Jefferson Co. 1842-1859, first in Ellisburg and then near Palmyra. Peter's wife Lydia died in Palmyra. >From Peter's obituary (and I have no corroborating materials): In 1849, Peter was elected a member of the first constitutional convention. He also held a variety of local offices in Palmyra (school director, postmaster, court commissioner, county supervisor, etc.) In 1859 he moved to Madison and managed a foundry and machine works that he bought. In 1860 he was elected alderman from the first ward and the next year president of the council. In 1871, he went as a pioneer to the Dakota Territory. Thanks for any help or information.

I don't do lookups, but there is a list of people that do lookups on my site. If he was postmaster in Brookfield, the death cert should be at Waukesha county.

Approximate years, places of residence. Waukesha is a big place and in the early years, vital statistics could be found in Waukesha and Milwaukee. Have you looked for them in the 1930 census index here in Ancestry or earlier? George and Gauthier do not appear in the Waukesha Freeman Obituary Index 1859-1920. This was the main newpaper for Waukesha for that time period.

Purple in Brookfield Junction. http://linkstothepast.com/waukesha/brookjunction.html This area is now Brookfield City, where the Railroad tracks cross Brookfield Road. This is from the 1880 History of Waukesha County, transcribed by Judy B. "C.H. Purple, now dead, opened the first store in town, at or near Brookfield, in 1852. He also kept the post office here, which was established after the coming of the railway." I checked the cemeteries on my site that I have complete (Oak Hill which is the closest, German Lutheran, & St. Dominics), none of these cemeteries show him as buried there. This doesn't mean he wasn't, it just means the tombstone was not found during the transcription. There is another cemetery, Pioneer, which I have yet to transcribe. It is on the corner of North Avenue and Pilgrim. There is also Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, on Calhoun just north of Capital. For more information on these cemeteries, see here: http://linkstothepast.com/waukesha/cemeteries.html#brookfield Hope that helps. I was considering starting to transcribe that cemetery Pioneer cemetery this weekend, weather permitting. For sure I will have it complete in the next few months. Ellen- www.linkstothepast.com

In 1880, Chauncey's widow, Mary is still in Watertown, Jefferson Co. Although there is an Ezra Purple in Waukesha, Waukesha Co. who looks an awful lot like a brother to Chauncey. That might be a place to look if you are sure he died in Waukesha Co

Mary, Keep in mind that St. Mary's Elm Grove is not on of the cemeteries "owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee" although Holy Cross and Mt. Olivet are. If you click on 'About Us' button and hover on 'Our Locations' button there is a list of the cemeteries the Archdiocese operates. I guess other cemeteries, like St. Mary's Elm Grove, are still operated by the individual parish.

Here it is as went a day earlier than expected. From the Brookfield News of December 2, 1993 Gertrude M. Siefert (nee Pospyhalla) Brookfield, died from complications of kidney failure at St. Francis Hospital in Milwaukee, Nov. 23, at age 72. Siefert lived in Brookfield for 20 years with prior residence in Milwaukee. Her son Richard, said one of her favotite pastimes was walking through her neighborhood in Brookfield talking to neighbors and friends. She also was a volunteer at Lakeview Hospital on Bluemound Road for 10 years. She was known for her art work, belonged to various homemaker clubs and enjoyed paint classes at Wesley Park Retirement Community. She painted both landscapes and wildlife scenes. She was a member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in West Allis. Siefert is survived by her husband, Milton; her three children, Richard, June (Lawrence) Skalak, and Joyce (Lyali) Stilp; her grandchildren Samuel, Nathan and Daniel; two brothers Wallace (Mary Jane) pospyhalla and John (Pat) Pospyhalla; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Services were held Saturday and Wisconsin Memorial Park Chapel of the Chimes. Interment was at Wisconsin Memorial Park
