I went out to Union Lutheran Cemetery yesterday and transcribed a few of the tombstone as well as photographed them. I will be putting them online soon.

To the cemetery listing I also added the following obituaries:

Rev. Christian Haack, James Soukop, Augusta Niss, Jan Pleyte

I also added the death notices for John Liscowitz.  I do not know where John was buried but he committed Suicide in Union Lutheran Cemetery.  He shot himself on a bench near the near the grave of F. Mueller.  I don’t know if F. Mueller had any significance in John’s life.

Added articles on the James Soukop murder by Antonio Balistiere in 1897.  James is buried in Union Cemetery Milwaukee.

I was able to get to the library the other day and make copies of some of the delcaration of intent indexes for Waukesha County.

If anyone is interested in helping transcribing these indexes, please let me know.  If everyone does a page or two it will be done before we know it.

Thanks to Barb the Agudas Achim Jewish Cemetery photos are now online in the gallery.

Check out the new names and photos in the Milwaukee County Cemetery.

Saturday - June 7 Added lot numbers and d. or burial dates in #44 for these people who died in 1960: Walter Aumann, Susan Ballmann, Lillian Becker, Elizabeth Bruce, William Bruechert John Carey, Joseph Cigler, Julia Clorn, Baby boy Cornils, Rose Dobbert, Edward Dunning Edwin Dusold, Raymond Evanson, Vincent Fischer, Elsie Fitting, Wilbert Gauthier Herbert Glaeser, August Gloe, John Grady, Clara Greicar, Fred Hartwig, Milton Heffernan Wayne Honold, Carl Hovi, Ida Hudders, Ida Jacobs, Wencil Jindra, (more…)

No, Joan has not fallen off the face of the earth.  Her new job has taken a lot of her time.  Until she is able to get back to the files, I decided to put up a few tidbits from some of my newpaper resources.

I added a couple news tidbits from 1877 on the conviction of John Anderson who murdered Isaac Rosegard;

an 1890 article about M.C. Smith;

and 1891 articles on John Fiegel & Son Burglary and new creamery equipment in Strong’s Prairie.
