Thank you very much for your kind e-mail. The info I have on the deed for August Abraham is as follows: In left-hand corner of page is no. 256. Deed is dated 10 Sept 1868 between Willaim Ruge and Friedericke his wife of first-part and August Abraham of second part, all of Winnebago County, Wisconsin all of the following described real estate and premises situated in the town of Nekimi, County of Winnebago, State of Wisconsin and described as the South half of South half of North East quarter section twenty seven (27) town (?) seventeen (17) range sixteen (16) East. I am interested when August sold this land. Maybe he gave it to Emilie. I believe this is read correctly but not sure if "town" is the word with the question mark after it. How many acres would this have been? He had a large family so I hope they were able to make a go of it. They did move to Missouri but Emilie stayed behind and married Gustav Schmidt in Winnebago County evidently. I haven't been able to trace her and Gustav after their marriage so far. Perhaps someone will read this and have more information on the Schmidt's. You all are so helpful there in Winnebago County.
