I have recently received a family picture which contains a bride and groom. Louis Baumann and his second wife are in the picture along with some, not all of his children. The family is sitting in front of a dining room table. The food is on the table. The calendar on the wall shows March 1914. The groom is a son of Louis. Can any one do a look up of a Baumann married March 1914? Thank you! DH Deci great grand daughter of Louis Baumann and Anna Meidle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Marlys, I am looking for all Riemers and Wales. I have most of the dobs & dods. What I really need is location of graves so I can take pictures the next time I am up. Is there a map that I could get a copy of? There could be alot of work involved in this and I am hoping to go back up to the Rapids in Oct for a couple of days. If you get time to look them up okay but don't if you have others lookups which are more pressing. I just haven't worked on these families for a long time so a few more months won't hurt. Just if you have the time. Thanks! Rosemary ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi There has been no book published on the cemetery but there is an index at the library in the genealogy corner. If there is something I can look up for you please let me know. Marlys Steckler azarian1@tznet.com

Thanks to everyone who replied to my message. Unfortunely, our plans for my Mother over the weekend didn't complete come together. We did go to the Rapids but spent most of our time with her sister who is 90. And neither one get around very well these days. But we did drive around some taking pictures of things my Mother still remembers. We also tried to find graves in the Forest Hills cemetery. Has there been a book published on the cemetery? I would really like one. My grandparents, great grands and many cousins are buried there but we only found Grandma and Grandpa. Also, does anybody known anything about the Riemer Barbershop back in the 1920s? My grandpa ran this shop. My sister and I did go through the museum on second street and we do plan on making copies of pictures to donate. Espeically the ones of the barbershop. If anybody out there would have pictures of the old Congregational church that was on third St or of the old swimming pool or old pictures of Grand St. I would be interested. We are trying to put together a memory book for my Mother. If anybody does hear something about a reunion please let me know. Thanks Again!

Rosemary, I am sorry I did not get this message until today. The McMillan Library in WI Rapids may have the year book you need or just contact Lincoln High School. The name Reimer caught my attention. My grand grandmother was a Reimer before she married a Hopp. I haven't done much research on her family yet but I wonder if there is a connection. Sorry, Jo Ramsfield from Madison, WI

The library has year books too and also the Historical Society. The Society is open on Sunday 1 to 3. The Library is not open Sunday but is open Saturday. Marlys

Rosemary, I'm sorry I donn't have any information on the class of 30 but wanted to tell you that there is an antique shop on Highway 13 S, just past NEPCO Lake (if coming from the Rapids) that has several old Lincoln High School Yearbooks. At least they did last time I was in there. You might be able to find your Mom's year there. Its called Aunt Nancy's Antique's. They are open on Saturday but closed Sundays and Mondays. The phone number is 715-325-2800 if you wanted to call and check. Also I see that you are researching HOPPE in Wisconsin. I have a notation of the following: Mr. Leon SCHARR of Nekoosa was married in Medford, WI on October 1909 to Anna Hoppe, daughter of Conrad and Christiana (Isersteadt) Hoppe. Mr. and Mrs. Scharr had one daughter Frances born March 25, 1911. They came to Nekoosa in 1914. Don't know if any of this is of any interest to you, but thought I would send it. Good Luck. Sandy

I am not sure anybody out there can help me and I know this is short notice. My Mother, Delia Riemer Douglass, graduated with the Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids, the class of 1930. This year would be their 70 year class reunion. My Mother will be 89 years old on Monday, July 3. She lives in Woodstock, Illinois and we (my sister & I) are taking her up to the Rapids for a birthday celebration this weekend. Does anybody know if there are other class members still living? Or if there is a reunion planned for this year? I live in Delavan, WI and I don't have her year book. So I don't have a clue where to begin. She graduated with a twin brother and sister who was a year younger, both have now passed on. I know this is short notice so any information on this class would be appreciated. Thank You!!
