HAUSER, HOUSER posted by Mona Houser on Friday, July 7, 2000

This is to replace my query of March 1999. Tinlis HAUSER/HOUSER, a Civil War vet, lived in Blairstown and then in Van Horne. His daughter Mary died in 1884 while they lived in Van Horne. Tinlis and his wife Lucy separated, and I think divorced, while living in Van Horne, in about 1894. I'm looking for any information about this family. Thanks!

WIESE posted by Roger D. Ferguson on Sunday, July 9, 2000

WIESE. Still looking for information on my grandmother Catherine Wiese. Born 1864 near Hamburg, Germany. Imigrated to near Mt. Auburn in 1872. Parents or siblings unknown but understand a William Wiese from the Hamburg, Germany locale imigrated to the Mt. Auburn area in 1872 or 73. He married Minnie Shuth and reportedly lived in Reinbeck, IA when he died. It is possible that William was my grandmother's brother or a relative. My grandmother Catherine married Charles Fredrick Jacobs in Vinton in 1892 and moved to either the Gladbrook (Tama Co.) or Beamon (Grundy Co.) area immediately after marriage.
