Not a clue..unless the census I found is not him....or he may have left the farm to the kids.

Well, I cannot say how much I appreciate all this help.  This Gietz family has been a brick wall for 2 years and then all of the sudden I got some married names and WHAM!!!! I am so excited...this has been the hardest branch by far.

OK Elizabeth...you are really good at this...you want to try Caroline and Catherine's brother William Goetz?  I can tell you what I have if you want to give him a shot.  :)

Would you email me your address please.  jensen.colette@gmail.com

I just got off the phone with Allen Schoettlin, grandson of Otto and Caroline :)  He gave me some inof on his aunts and uncles but didn't know anything about Caroline and very little about Otto.

Otto was not living in Wisconsin when he died, he was there visiting Helen.  He remained on the farm till he died.

Apparently Lena died as a young child also, Allen had never heard of her.

My little leaves are poppin like crazy!

Well I thought it was weird that I came up with zip, but one never knows..lol even I get stuck in ant hills! lol  glad we could get the ball rolling again.. hehe, anyway sent you a Friend thingy.. will give  you my addy that way..above I found Antons and Theresa stone, but no obits.. can't find the right newspaper..drat, bane of my existance! newspapers ;( they all say they have oodles.. like rot they do.., so who was Helen?  sometimes I find obits by other peoples names, and not the deceased..isn't that a kick in the shins..but when you think about it if their not in their own backyard so to speak when they pass on, it makes sense that a blurb or obit is listed under the  whats news, listing  so and so's brother etc passed away. 

Your family is like mine,, ghosts who like to hide and keep secrets! Leave it to the Germans, have  them myself, maybe thats why I married an Irishman.. lol.. I am so fried at the moment  your people couldn't leave footprints any better than mine!
