Gottlieb Polsfuss Family of Marquette County, Wisconsin

Polsfuss group plot Westfield East Cem
Gottlieb Polsfuss Plot at Westfield East Cemetery, Marquette County, WI

This is a first attempt at posting a family group sheet to the blog, so I don't know if this is what I want to do in the future, but just trying it out.

Gottlieb Polsfuss was my 2nd Great Grandfather on my mother's side. His daughter, Alma Marie (Polsfuss) Schauer was my Great Grandmother.

Looking at the group sheet, there are still a few questions to answer. Did Ella Polsfuss get married? Last I can find her is 1905. She married Christoph A. Muehrer after 1905.

I have no children listed for Reinhold and Vera Polsfuss. Social security death index has them dropping an S and named Polfuss, living in Wautoma, Waushara, Wisconsin.

I have three children listed for William C. Polsfuss, but I don't have his wife's name and I don't have many details about him, but apparently he changed the spelling of his last name to Palfuss prior to 1930. He was a realtor in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area for many years.

I have twin sons listed for Norma and Conrad Reimann, both deceased, but no other details listed. Oddly, I don't have any burial locations listed for Norma and Conrad, but I think I was at their funerals, or at least the visitation. They are buried at Roselawn Memorial Park, Monona, Dane, Wisconsin. I found obituaries for Norma, Conrad, Melvin and Marvin Reimann in the Wisconsin State Journal.

The group sheet is after the jump... (click read more)
