The 1920 Federal Census said that Alvina B.'s parents' [which would be Ludwig and his wife] were born in Schnida, Germany (see census information under Alwina Bertha Schubert's entry below).

Genealogy notes left by Adaline Tagatz (Johann's granddaughter) say: "Johann Ludwig Schubert always told that his mother died after the birth of two or three girls and Johann... Johann Ludwig said his mother died of cholera in Germany."

Family notes say that John Ludwig's stepmother was Anna Rosine Otto.

The 1870 Census said that Lewis married his wife Julia in Feb. 1870 (see census entry below).

Adaline Tagatz wrote: "Johann Ludwig Schubert made his home at the home of Jakob Martin Wichner and Mary (Mittelstaedt) Wichner, the parents of his future wife, and worked at different places until he had the indebtedness paid off of the funds advanced for his emigration to U.S.A."

Notes left by Evaline Tagatz said: "Julius Henry (Heinrich) Schubert, born July 29, 1872, died 1943 (not married). (His gravestone says 1873 which is incorrect. [This is Evaline's note.]).. [He] worked on farms and invented useful articles and machinery. He could play a violin (fiddle). After he heard a tune he could play it. He had very little schooling. They lived so far from the schoolhouse - in fall and spring he had to stay home and help his father on the farm, and in the winter it was difficult to walk so far in the cold over the snow banks."

Henry appears as age 7 on the 1880 Federal Census as living with his parents (see census details).

The 1930 Federal Census in Richford, Waushara Co., WI, said Henry J. Schubert (age 47, single) was a hired man living with Emil R. Denna [or Dennu] (age 45, farmer) and Emil's wife Martha E. (age 46) and son Ervin E. (age 7).

His tombstone in the Richford Cemetery, Waushara Co., WI, said Henry J. Schubert lived from 1873-1943. (son of L. [SOURCE: Cemetery transcription by Wayne Guyant in 1977]

Louis (age 3) appears on the 1880 Census as living with his parents (see census details).

Christof L. Schubert's tombstone in the Richford Cemetery, Waushara Co., WI, said he was the son of L. & J. Schubert, born Aug. 30, 1876 and died Mar. 27, 1897. [SOURCE: Cemetery transcription by Wayne Guyant in 1977]

Another source said Friedrich Herman Schubert was born Sept. 11, 1879 and baptized Oct. 5th at the Westfield Lutheran Church. Sponsors were Ludwig Wiegner, Michael Beutler and Julius Rux.[SOURCE: Russell Williams]

The 1905 Wisconsin Census has Herman (age 25), Millie (age 20), Ida Fietz (sister-in-law) and Frank (age 8, adopted son). [SOURCE: Russell Williams]

Herman appears in the 1880 census as age under 1 year and in the 1900 census as age 19 (born Sept. 1879) living with his parents (see census details).

Family notes also say he married Emily (or Emilie) "Minnie" Alberta Fietz on Apr. 13 or 15, 1903 in Neshkoro, Marquette Co., WI. Emily was born July 17, 1883 or 1884 and died Dec. 8, 1960 in Milwaukee (her parents were Albertina Dotzauer Dahlke FIETZ and Julius Fietz; they supposedly came to the U.S. in 1853 from the Warta River area/Posen [the census records I've found do not confirm this immigration date]). For misc. Dahlke records, go to the Dahlke web page. Herman lived in Hales Corners and had at least five children.

• wife Emilie (age 25, had two children with two living in 1910, married 7 years, on her first marriage, born in Wis., parents born in Germany)
• son Elmer (age 5, born in Wis.)
• son Erwin (age 2, born in Wis.)
• servant Frank [surname hard to read - might be Ireland] (age 13, born in Wis., parents place of birth unknown)
• servant Lula Mack (age 15, born in Wis., parents place of birth unknown).

Son Allen: A newspaper clipping obit (undated & source unlabeled) in my files says that Lt. Allen H. Schubert (age 26, Hales Corners) died in an automobile accident at Monterey, CA. He was a Navy Air Corps officer who was made a full lieutenant about three weeks before he died. He was stationed at a Navy post graduate school at Monterey. He was born in Hales Corners, attended Boys' Technical High School and enlisted in the Navy Air Corps in 1943. He served 18 months at Guam during World War II and received an ensign's commission at the Pensacola, Florida, base. Survivors: his parents (Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schubert in Hales Corners), brother Elmer Schubert (Milwaukee), brother Erwin Schubert (Hales Corners), Alvin Schubert (Hales Corners) and a sister Mrs. Anita Krumsee (Hales Corners). His body was to arrive in Milwaukee where services were to be conducted by the Borgwardt Funeral Home at Highland Memorial Park Cemetery (town of New Berlin, Waukesha County).

Son Elmer: A newspaper obit (undated and unlabeled) said that Elmer O. Schubert was 59 when he died (residence 3844 S. 56th Street). He was the husband of Alvina Harrer and father of SSgt. Donald Schubert, USMC (Post Office San Francisco, CA), Betty Petrofsky of Oak Creek, Carol Gabrielson of Greenfield and June Fowler of Warrens, Wis. He was the father-in-law of Evelyn Schubert, Harry Petrofsky, Robert Gabrielson and Harold Fowler. He was the brother of Anita Krumsee, Ervin Schubert of Franklin and Alvin Schubert of New Berlin. He was the brother-in-law of Richard Krumsee. The obit mentions Madeline and Mary Schubert but the relationship is unclear. Funeral services were held at the Jackson Park Evangelical Lutheran Church (4535 W. Oklahoma Ave.), Rev. Warren F. Zemlick officiating. He was interred at Highland Memorial Park. He was a member of the pension club of Heil Co. and Eagles.

The 1900 Federal Census in Neshkoro, Marquette Co., WI, shows Herman's wife's family:

Another source says that Edward Rhinold (Reinholdt) Schubert was born Jan. 19, 1881, and baptized July 10, 1881, at Westfield Lutheran Church. Sponsors were Julyus Rux and Mathilde Schubert. [SOURCE: Russell Williams]

Eddie appears in the 1900 and 1905 census with his parents (see census details).

Family notes say that his first marriage was to Minnie Kroll on Feb. 12, 1907. Minnie was b. Apr. 3, 1886 and d. June 17, 1939 (buried in Neshkoro Cemetery, Marquette Co., WI). Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kroll. Family notes add that Edward and Minnie adopted a daughter. Russell Williams wrote that Edward married Anna Minnie Ernestine Kroll on Jan. 12, 1907 [differs by one month from notes left by my grandmother]. He added that their only child was a stillborn baby born Apr. 30, 1908, and they raised or adopted Julianna Zarbruck.

Mrs. Edward Shubert [as spelled in obituary], nee Minnie Kroll, died at age 53. Funeral services were at the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church (Rev. M. Huebner officiating). She had a stroke and died in a Madison hospital.

Pauline's first marriage was to Emil Taschner who is Rosina Schubert TASCHNER's son. She had at least six children with her first husband. Emil died in 1909. Pauline then married Rudolph Grams on Oct. 17, 1911 and had one son. Rudolph died on Mar. 20, 1939.

Pauline's parents were buried in Richford Cemetery, Waushara Co., WI -- William J. Krause (1884-1917) and Annie D. Rux (1850-1927). Also buried near them are: Bertha M. Rux (daughter of J. & W., born Nov. 29, 1878 and died Jan. 8, 1882), George H. Rux (born Apr. 17, 1895, died July 20, 1895), Ida A. Rux (born Jan. 23, 1885, died Aug. 15, 1896; child of J. & W.

The 1900 Federal Census in Neshkoro, Marquette Co., WI, shows Edward's future wife Minnie (age 13, born Apr. 1887 in Wis.). She was living with:

• her father Fredrick Kroll (age 61, born June 1838 in Germany, married 30 years, immigrated in 1873, in America for 27 years, farmer)

Otto was survived by his son Harold Schubert of Pipe, daughter Mrs. Wilmer Reichmann of Milwaukee, daughter Mrs. Waldo Nelson of Chicago, sister Mrs. Emma Tagatz of Stevens Point and eight grand-children. The obit said his wife died in 1949, and five brothers and a sister died before he did. Services were held at Fond du Lac. Otto was buried in Rienzi Cemetery. [SOURCE: Obituary published in the Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter in Fond du Lac, WI on Aug. 28, 1968]

A second obit (source unknown - handwritten date Aug. 28, 1968) said that Otto August Schubert (age 84 of Pipe) died at St. Agnes Hospital "today." He was born Sept. 3, 1884 in Richmond, WI. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Schubert. He married Laura Wegenke on Aug. 23, 1914. This obit repeats the job history listed above. It lists the same survivors. Funeral services were held at Uecker-Witt Funeral Home with Pastor Karl Gurgel officiating.

Russell Williams wrote that Otto S. Schubert was baptized at the Westfield Lutheran Church on Oct. 2, 1883. Sponsors were G. Schubert, Julius Rux and Emilie Mittelstedt.

Otto was shown in the 1900 and 1905 census records with his parents (see census details).

Otto was living with his sister Alvina and her husband in Packwaukee, Marquette Co., WI, in 1910 (see census details under Alvina's entry below).

Family notes say that Otto married Laura Amanda Wegenke on Aug. 23, 1914 (Laura was born Apr. 6, 1886 and died in 1949). They had at least three children.

• wife Laura (age 33, born in Wis., parents born in Germany)
• his daughter Leona [? my best guess at spelling; hard to read] (age 3, born in Wis.)
• son Harold (age six months, born in Wis.)
• niece Adaline Tagatz (age 21, bank bookkeeper, age 21, born in Wis., parents born in Wis.).

Alvena was shown in the 1900 and 1905 census with her parents (see census entry).

Fran Sprain wrote about the Stroschein family in her book Places and Faces in Marquette County, Wis. - Vol. II. It said that Emil was age 3 when he came to America with his 5-year-old sister Augusta, their mother Justina and Justina's mother (surname Pehlke). Emil's father, John, checked out America first in 1882. John was a carpenter and cobbler. They settled east of Fenner Lake in Marquette County. Justina was a seamstress. John and Justina had more children in Wisconsin - Robert and William. Emil was a streetcar conductor in Milwaukee, a farmer in Coloma and a storekeeper in Packwaukee. Fran's book includes more details about how the Stroschein family lived.

• husband Emmil H. Strohschein (hard to read age but could be 28, retail grocery merchant, immigrated in 1885, born in Germany)
• brother Otto A. Shubert [as spelled] (age 26, single, brother-in-law, barber, born in Wis., parents born in Germany).

• husband Emil H. Stroschein (age 37, born in West Prussia, farmer, immigration date is given but is difficult to read)

• husband Emil Stroeschein (age 48, married at age 24, born in Germany, farmer).

• his father, Martin Schubert (age 56, a farrier [a farrier is someone who is a blacksmith or veterinarian specializing in horses])
• Anna-Rosine Schubert (age 38)
• Gustave Schubert (age 9)
• Adolphe Schubert (age 5)
• Wilhelm Schubert (age 2).

Could Ludwig have came to America in 1863 to check things out and then returned for his family the next year? The 1900 & 1930 Census said he immigrated in 1863 and the 1920 Census said 1864 (see census entries below). The last sentence in the following note suggests this may be the case:

Evaline Tagatz wrote: "Chas. Dahlke's wife was Grandpa Schubert's aunt. [For misc. Dahlke records, go to the Dahlke web page. My Great-Aunt Adaline Tagatz wrote: "Grandfather Schubert and Gust Dahlke were first cousins, which makes Walter mother's second cousin...."]

The 1905 Wisconsin Census in Markesan, Green Lake County, WI, shows an August Dahlke. Could this be the Chas. Dahlke mentioned above?:

• August Dahlke (head of household, age 60, born in Posen, parents born in Posen, farmer)
• Emma Dahlke (wife, age 44, born in Posen, parents born in Posen)
• Willie Dahlke (son, age 20, born in Wis., single, laborer)
• Emil Dahlke (son, age 18, single, born in Wis., laborer)
• Frederick Dahlke (son, age 15, born in Wis., laborer)
• Albert Dahlke (son, age 12, born in Wis.)
• Laura Dahlke (daughter, age 9, born in Wis.)

She also wrote that he was thought to be age 16 when he immigrated. She wrote: "Grandpa John Ludwig Schubert and Gustav Schubert came to America on money which their uncle, Mr. Krueger, sent them. Grandpa paid back the money for his trip to Mr. Krueger. Kruger had children: Mrs. Koats, Minnie Kruger and Ernest who married Emma Fierke." Gustav Schubert was Ludwig's half brother.

A note found in my Great-aunt Adaline Tagatz's records also say that Johann and his half brother Gustave Schubert had their trip to America financed by an uncle. In the margin it says "Uncle Rudolph Krueger."

• Ludwig Kruger (age 41, farmer)
• Wilhelmine-Ernestine Kruger (age 23)
• Wilhelmine-Ernestine Kruger (age 17) [yes, the same name was listed twice next to each other with two different ages]
