Treasure Chest Thursday - For Sale - Westfield Theatre

This is a scan of the classified ad to sell the Westfield Theatre. It was published in The Central Union, Westfield, Wisconsin, March 10, 1955. I'm not sure what the back story on this is, but my grandparents saved the newspaper from this date and this is the only thing that I could find that was related to the family. Leo Parker was my grandfather and Alma (Polsfuss) Schauer was my great grandmother. My great grandfather, Arnold Schauer, died in September 1954 and was a business man in Westfield, so perhaps it's related to his death.

Gottlieb Polsfuss Family of Marquette County, Wisconsin

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)

Tombstone Tuesday - Arnold and Alma Schauer

Sorry about the photo, but the stone was highly reflective. This is the tombstone of Arnold Carl Schauer and Alma Marie (Polsfuss) Schauer located at Westfield East Cemetery, Westfield, Wisconsin.

The tombstone of their daughter Twyla (Schauer)Schultz is located nearby and is of a similar design.

The connection to the Brassfield surname is that Alma and Arnold Schauer's grand daughter married a Brassfield. They are my great grand parents.
