he is two years
old and living with John & Sophie. Paul A does not appear on the census

The second one has a name most similar to her mother Ernestina. Censuses
were government
surveys only, not legal documents, so although accuracy was stressed, proper
name spelling
sometimes did not happen. Sometimes it helps to say what is written on
the census and see what
"sounds" closest to what you are looking for. There is no 1890 census and
she may have been
living independently by 1900. Hope this helps. Rita Daughter Mary ZIMMERMAN

James Murchie death ca. 1875
I am searching for the death of my great-grandfather, James Murchie, born
19 Feb 1831 Arran,
Scotland. Married Isabella Blundell in 1863 in New Brunswick, Canada. Moved
to Marinette WI
in 1868 where my grandmother was born. According to family lore, he and
4 or 5 other men had
unloaded a barge of lumber following which they had a few drinks and then
decided to go for
more, either to Marinette or Menominee. The boat they were in capsized
and all hands were
drowned. This must have occurred about 1875 as his widow remarried ca.
1878. This family lived

On the 1880 US Census, Page 3 of City of Columbus Ward 1 & 2, Columbia

(Columbus County Census Page 28 C), There is a William R. Ritter, age 24,
who was a school
teacher. He was boarding with the William L. Lewis family on their farm
as a boarder. Mr. Ritter
was born in Wisconsin. Both his parents were born in New York. The daughter
of Mr. Lewis
was named Lillie and she was a music teacher, age 21. (Possible future
marriage partner?) This
was the only William Ritter that I found in WI in 1880 who matches your
description. Since the
census was taken in July of 1880, it is possible that he continued teaching
there, rather than in
Oconto County in the year 1881. I have not found a record of him in Oconto

Friday night she suffered considerably and Dr. O?Keef (her husband) was

nearly morning, when she seemed to be so much better that he concluded
to lie down for awhile,
leaving Mrs. O?Keef, with her niece Miss Johnson. She arose and passed
into the kitchen where
she shortly fell over upon the floor and died almost instantly. The deceased
lady was universally

clay and appears to have
been hand made. It has a wooden stem handle which is tied to the handle
loops on the pot with a
grassy material. There is no ornamentaion other than a simple embossed
pattern around the top of
the pot and the top of the lid. I recall my grandmother visiting "French

pipes. I wonder if this

Also, I was with cousins who live in the area and we were doing gravestone

Re: Allies of Oconto County
I am also interested in the Allie families. The surname is spelled several
different ways, but I
believe there is a connection to my branch through David Alley. David may
be a nick name or a
middle name. He married Rose Richard/s. THeir first child Viola Alley is
reported to be born in
Burhnamwood, Shawano Co., WI, 1898. Viola's birth was reported some time
later and it is
possible that she was born in IA. David and Rose are both shown as being
born in Canada. From
all my researching I have noted that the family moved frequently. They
may have been in MI and
MN also. David, Viola's father was born <1870>. His parents may be David
Alley and Hannah
Maxon. I have found something showing that they were married in Two Rivers,
WI, but this may
be wrong. They could have been married in Canada. From Censuses it appears
David <1870>
family immigrated to WI <1878>. His siblings were born in the US. I
would be interested in
exchanging info with anyone interested in these families. My mother and
I both believe that there
must be Native American ties on the Alley side of her family. The Alleys
of my mother's family
all have distinctly Indian features, while the other side is a mixture
of different colors and
schemes.

of this place,
passed peacefully away on Wednesday morning at the age of 83 years. He
had not been well for

Name:Marina Cole aquamar@earthlink.net,
Re; 1850 Census
Here's the info/opinion I got from Diane Nichols about the 1850 census:
As for "forest dwellers,"
my understanding was that this referred to the early settlers/pioneers
scattered all over northeast
Wisconsin in 1850 [the territory covered by Brown County at the time].
Though Oconto was the
biggest settlement at the time, it too was just getting started as a small
town with a small number
of permanent residents [probably well under 50]. There was a large Native
American settlement
in Oconto and Oconto Falls at the time as well but I don't believe they
were ever counted in a
census. So bottom line is that I believe the 400 forest dwellers number
was an estimate only
because it would've been too time-consuming and cost prohibitive to send
someone out to find all
these residents. An estimate was easier. That's my 'nickel's worth.' Diane
Nichols, local historian.

Hartley
I am researching Catherine Nightingale (Leech) Hartley who lived in Oconto
toward the end of
her life and died there 10/18/1913. I have quite a bit of information about
her earlier life and that
of her parents and grandparents but am trying to determine where she was
living in her final years
and where she is buried. It is quite likely that she lived with one of
her children at the time.

Henry Koehne/Kohn/Kohne
I am atempting to research my family roots. Here is what information I
have. My Great-Great
Grandfather, Henry Koehne/Kohn/Kohne was born in Hanover, Germany in 1837.
I do not know
when he came to the U.S. He married Mary Ann Taylor, approximate Date of
Birth 1840, in 1862
in Little Suamic, WI. They had a son John H. was born in Little Suamic
on May 3,1863 and died
in Chilton, WI on 9/26,1936? I believe they had two daughters, Sophia (henrietta,
Harriet) born
1869 and Elizabeth born 1865. I believe he married Anna Ruber 10/21/1890.
Either they were
married in Rockland MI. or she came from there. I did find mention of a
Henry Koehne who was
buried in Little Suamic on your site. There was no other information available.
John M. had 5
children, Jack C. Kohne; LeRoy Kohne-my Grandfather-; Marguarite Kohne;
Lucille Kohne and
Norma. This information came from some papers my Aunt had. Unfortunately
she has no idea
who compiled it. I would appreciate it if you could tell how I could find
out if there are any
records concerning my great-great Grandparents available. I have just begun
attempting to trace
our roots. Could you tell me if there are any sites where I could access
immigration, birth and
marriage records? John Kohne

Re; Frewerd, Youngs, Galland
I also am interested in the George Frewerd family. My Great Uncle Mike
Ziereis lived with them
until his death in 1957 on his 101st birthday. Any information found in
this family of him would be
greatly appreciated.
