Searching for Mary Coleman's family ... or any information about her. She married Timothy Bowles in Oconomowac 18 Dec 1859. I know nothing about her family; when they immigrated nor to which port. Since their marriage was in Oconomowac I am hoping she had other family who lived and stayed there. She and Timothy settled in Illinois and later in Kansas. Margaret Mollick jmmollick@attbi.com

How did you get any names to come up on the Milwaukee Archdiocese site?? I put in 6 that I KNOW are buried in Holy Cross, St. Mary's in Elm Grove, and Mt. Olivet Cemeteries, but they found nothing. I clicked on the "genealogy" link, and did the searches. Maybe I am doing something wrong???

Does anyone have access to this census? I have found one of the people I am looking for in 1880 federal census ( Racine ). Lack of 1890 census has caused many problems for me. By 1900 census, the wife in this couple was dead. The husband had remarried and moved out of state too. Frank Christian Peterson ( Frands Christian Pedersen, b 1857 Lolland, Denmark ) His first wife Lyda May Allagad ?? ( maiden name not correctly spelled __unk ). They married and had 3 children @ 1883 Christine, daughter @ 1885 Bert , son 1887 Lucille, daughter They moved around some. Frank was a blacksmith. 1890-1892 in the Waukesha Directory. About 1893, best guess, his daughter Christine died of disease. First wife must have also died around this time. By 1894, he ( Frank ) had remarried. Second wife's maiden name here was Hanson. She was also from Denmark. They moved to New Mexico. They had their own business a Blacksmith's . There was one more son in 1896. I have been looking for info on first wife and eldest daughter. Any info would help. My grandmother's orig SS application was lacking in correct info, spelling etc. Thanks, B Clark ( NM )

I'm in no way related to this family, thought someone researching this particular family may be interested in this. I came across this article along with pictures and a sizable amount of info. on this couple in the Waukesha Daily freeman, dated Nov. 23, 1916. GOLDEN PERIOD OF HONORED PIONEERS: MR. AND MRS. PETER MORGAN SWARTZ OBSERVE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Peter Morgan Swartz, pioneer residents of Waukesha County, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Wednesday, Nov. 22, at a family reunion at their country home, Cornfalfa Farms. Mr. Swartz was born February 12, 1842, at Ghent, Columbia county, N.Y., and was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Swartz of the Empire state. In 1844 he came to Wisconsin with his parent's and located in the town of New Berlin where he has lived continuously for seventy-two years. And there the family built up the beautiful home known as Cornfalfa Farms. When Mr. Swartz was a child the indians were numerous in this country and the country roads were but little better than Indian trails. He remembers seeing as many as seven deer in a drove within a few rods of his home. The prosperous city of Waukesha was then known as Prairieville, and contained but few inhabitants. Mr. Swartz ranks high in the community as a citizen and was always recognized as a very enterprising and progressive farmer. He was one of the successful exhibitors at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 and also at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, receiving diplomas and medals for the best wheat exhibited by the grower. Since retiring from active business, his sons, Swartz Bros., have been equally successful as they won the gold medal on their alfalfa exhibit at the San Francisco Exposition last year. Mr. Swartz was married Nov. 22, 1866, to Miss Catherine Phillips, who was born in New Berlin, Waukesha county, July 18, 1849. Mr. and Mrs. Swartz have seven children and five grand-children. Their eldest child, William, resides on a farm west of this city; David is superintendent of the schools at Bayfield, Wis.; Mrs. W. H. Phillips of Milwaukee; Mrs. H. G. Busse of this city; Peter Jr., Lewis and Jayson, who in business circles are known as Swartz Bros., and operate Cornfalfa Farms. The golden wedding celebration was attended by all of the children and grand-children. The home was tastefully decorated for the occasion and a delicious and bountiful dinner was served. The bride of fifty years ago wore a becoming gown of black satin with trimmings of gold, and her head was adorned with a golden wreath. Mr. Swartz's gift to the bride was fifty dollars in gold, other valuable gifts were received. Congratulations hearty and sincere were showered upon the bride and groom, who are enjoying good health, and the guests departed wishing them many happy anniversaries to come. The Freeman joins in most hearty congratulations to this honored and beloved couple.

They probably attended a Catholic church, as they are buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Milwaukee. They apparently had no children. If anyone knew this couple, or can direct me to any information about them, I would be most grateful.
