You gave more information in the version of this query on GenForum, with a good clue. August Fuerstnau retired from the Methodist ministry in 1933.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CGC.2ACI/561.2.1.2 Message Board Post: Pa means "first papers filed" toward citizenship. Formally "Declaration of Intent to become a citizen", they are the ones with the good info. And that declaration was enough to get you the right to vote in WI at that time, so many folks didn't go beyond that step. Remember that women generally were not naturalized because we couldn't vote, and males who came as children couldn't file until they turned 21. These papers are likely to be at the Area Research Center at Polk Library, UW-Oshkosh, 800 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh Wi 54901. See http://www.uwosh.edu/archives/natural.htm. About the cemetery: if the plot is marked "Ike Wilson" he owned it. There could indeed be burials with no stones. The Winnecone Historical Society Museum is at 611 W. Main, Winneconne WI. Ask them to check the Grossman scrapbooks.

They have a photo collection and a high school yearbook collection. Also access to old Neenah newspapers from which he might be able to pull obits on Gladness and her in-laws, if you have death dates, possibly a story on the wedding. In addition to this being his job, Mike hunts ancestors himself, so you are in good hands.

Surnames: BLAKELY - LADD - CAMPBELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CGC.2ACI/565 Message Board Post: My maternal grandmother, Gladness LADD, came to Neenah in 1910, to work as a domestic for Josiah and Isabella BLAKELY. She was 16 at the time. The Blakely's son, Albert, 15 years her senior, fell in love with her, but Isabella would not allow them to marry, saying Gladness was too young. The young couple did marry in Sep of 1914. In January of 1916, Gladness died in childbirth. My mother never even saw a picture of her mother, Gladness. Although my mom is gone now, my promise to her is that I will locate a picture of Gladness. I have tried descendants of collateral lines, hoping a family album might exist with wedding pictures, perhaps. No luck. I am hoping that school pictures might exist. I am sure Isabella would have insisted on schooling for Gladness. Family lore has it that Isabella herself was a college graduate, though I have yet to pin that down. Where might I write for school records? Any other ideas would be welcome, too. I know very little about Gladness, though I have found a good deal on her father from his Civil War Records. I do have her birth, marriage and death certificates. Donna Cross Clermont FL

I'm assuming that means Pennsylvania?? I also saw the "Ike Wilson" on the Winneconne Cemetery records. If there aren't any stones, does that mean no one is buried there or the stones weren't ever purchased or they deteriorated completely? I haven't written to the Winneconne Historical Society. Do they have a website or do you have their address?
