Hi,
I'm assuming I've connected with Shary Beseler???If so, you sent info about Martha Lehrke & others a while back.I lost your email address - and don't know if I ever replied.
I believe Nathan talked about his dad/grandfather.Did he mean "Galesville, WI"?There were Lehrkes' in Galesville - Whitehall - Chaseburg, WI areas, besides the La Crosse area.All of those areas are around La Crosse.
I have a Ferdinand Rudolph Lehrke; b 9/21/1860 or 1859, d 1/24/1919 listed in our tree.He and his wife, Augusta Herman, had 6 children: Paul, Josephine, George, John, Ernest& Rudolph.It appears Ferdinand had another brother, Ferdinand Theodor Lehrke, who only lived 12 days (b.4/1/1859 - d 4/13/1859)I was just told that Ferdinand Rudolph Lehrke and Ernest Leopold Lehrke are buried in St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery near Whitehall, WI.
Like to touch base with you again.
Take care,Linda
