I am
researching my family's roots in Bayfield, WI. The family moved from
Bathurst New Brunswick Canada to Bayfield in 1896. The father may be
Alexander and he was a merchant seaman. My g-grandpa, his son, was
William Wallace Bushey and was a railroad conductor. I'm not sure how
long they stayed in Bayfield but William moved to Spooner around 1903-4.

I am
looking for information about my grandfather's family. His parents were
Jurgen (Jorgen) Matson or Madson and Christine Jensen and they lived in
Iron River with 7 boys and 1 daughter. The children were all adopted to
different families after Christine died giving birth to a son in
November 1914. The children's names were Arthur M, Carl C, Virgil E,
Francis G, Victor M, John C, Clifford J and Helen M. Census records do
not show record of Helen, but a family member has a memorial that
records her parents (adopted?) as Benjamin and Catherine Upson and that
she was preceded in death by 7 brothers. I would like to find out what
happened to the family. Jorgen seems to have disappeared after his wife
died. Thank you.

My

Linden (Houghton) Michigan. He died October 13, 1958 and is buried in
Woodland Cemetery, Wisconsin. His parents were Edward Butler and Mary
Thurston who I believed divorced. He had a younger sister named Neil. I
have a newspaper article about my grandfather (who was a pioneer in the
area and on his own at 14 and lived on Rocky Island in his later years)
that stated he came to Washburn in 1886 with his mother Mary Thurston
and his stepfather J. D. Robertson. I don't know whether he died or they
divorced, but I think she was last married to a Chesney or Chasney, and
that they lived and died at Ashland, but I have no proof of it. I am
trying to trace my genealogy of Edward Butler, who I think lived and
died in Flint, MI possibly in 1928 -30, and anything about ! Mary
Thurston's lineage.
My grandfather Vern Butler was married to Lula
Janette Haugen Gasmann (both her parents were Norwegian and I've traced

from Norway in 1886 with destination Ada, Norman County, Minn. I have
found no trance of him in Minnesota, but there is an Even Eggen in the

a saw mill laborer and the dates tally with my g.grandfather's. I have
obtained information to the effect that the saw mill he worked at
probably was the Hines, Alexander & Edgar Lumber Company and that he
might have lived with the Christopherson family. There is a "P" behind
his name which I guess indicates that he had started the process of
being naturalized.
I have not found him in the 1910 census for Iron

I am researching the Kelly/Pierson families
who resided in Pratt (Grandview), Cable and Drummond, Wisconsin areas
from approximately 1881 - 1920. I believe a good many of the older folks
of these clans are buried in the Grandview Cemetery. Specific names
would be John Kelly, Robert Pierson, John Robert Pierson, Janet
MacDonald Pierson, John T. Kelly, and Charles J. and Jane M. Pierson
Kelly. Charles and Jane were my great grandparents, and are buried in
Superior, but I have definite proof of their residence in Pratt
(Grandview) during the early 1900's. Charles Kelly was a camp foreman
for the Willow River Logging Company during that time. Charles and Jane
Kelly had 7 children...John T, Harry C, Bernard E, William, Genevieve B,
Merton S, and Myrl B. Kelly. Merton and Myrl were twins.
John T.
Kelly died of diphtheria in Grandview sometime after the 1905 census and
before the 1910 census, around the age of 18-19. Harry and Bernard
married local girls Florence (Floss) McLaughlin and Alma Windahl,
respectively. Genevieve also married a local man, Robert A. Holmes, son
of John Holmes and Sarah Mary Parker Holmes McDougall.
The Charles
J. Kelly family moved on to Superior sometime between 1917-1920. In the
book entitled: Grandview, Wisconsin Centennial 1884-1984, it is written
that the "John" Kelly family lived in a home across from the Grandview
Town Hall, later known as the Methodist Parsonage. The John Kelly family
was in actuality the "Charles" Kelly family. I'm wondering if that house
still stands? I have pictures of it, along with a picture of the

Norway. Her father was Fredrik Anderson and mother Anna. Father drowned
off Norway, probably 1873 one brother Fred might have been born after.
Her mother immegrated to Wi. I think to Washburn or Ashland maybe
Superior. There were John, Gus Annie Ingaborg Fred and another sister I
don't know name of. What I know is that the brothers fought over their
Surname. One said it was Anderson the other that the some took the name
of a farm or relative when left in Norway. I have census records for
Fred Lund and family and Gus Lund living on 4th st with wife Carrie and
Regna Axel and Alma in Washburntown on 1900 census, Then on 1920 lived
at 6322 W 4th wutg Fred and Ethelwyn. Axel lived at 605 w 4th St 1920
census w/ Mary (May) wife and Evelyn, William, and Adelaide. Regna
(Rachel or Rae) M Elmer Sanders (who ran a bottleling plant in the
1940's was also a Whestler.) lived in Washburn and had Arvella 1916,
Luis 1922, and Earl 1924. all born in Washburn. Fred Lund Anderson? m

24 Apr 1936, bu 29 Apr 1936 in Washburn. Fred lost all his fingers in a
frostbite accident? Had two steel plates in his palms (could even knead
bread) I saw him living in Washburn across from his brother Gus or
Axel's house on 4th. I was about 8 (1942-3) sidewalks were wooden. I
have picture of Gus and Rae at that time. I have rambled on but the main
thing I would like to know is how they could have gotten from Norway to
Wi and how my greatgrandmother could have made a living as a man's
tailor from 1873? or so I only know her name was Anne (Ane) married a
Johnson and eventually went to Tacoma, or Seattle Wa. where she died at
about 94. The oldest brother John moved to Idaho, no information on him.
Sister Ingaborg (Ida) married a Johnson had a lot of children I think in
Chippawa Falls, where my grandmother married and had my mother Florence,
Ann Therese, and John moved to Chicago w/Samuel and had Eva and
Eugene.Died in La Grange,Il at 88years old. This story is what she told
me when I was young and not interested in genealogy. She ran away after
coming to live in Wi. because her oldest brother John wouldn't let her
go to a dance. She was 16 when she came to U.S and 20 when she married
Sam. How she went to Chippawa or wether they all we in that town and

I have a death record on my gg-grandfather
George BRYAN who died June 1, 1900. I wrote to the State archives to
receive this death record and the index said he died in "Ashland, WI".
When I received the death record IT states that his place of residence
was Bayfield and that he died in Bayfield (occupation was railroading).
It further states that his body was shipped to "Mungee", Michigan. No
one has been able to locate a town/village called Mungee in Michigan, so
this must be an error. In any event, my BRYAN line actually resided in
Ashland County, WI in 1900, so I am a little confused about this death
record. If anyone knows about the Bayfield/Ashland connection in 1900 or
about "railroading" in this era, please let me know. If anyone is

I am
trying to locate the last known residence of a Mr Tom Blake. Mr Blake
was one of the most influencial people in the world of surfing over the
last 100 years, and he came back to Northern Wisconsin to spend the
final years of his life. I believe he lived in Washburn, and died in
Ashland in the mid 1990's. I know he is buried in Washburn, but I would
like to know where is his last place of residence becasue I would like
to come up and see the area that he called home and that seemed to
inspire him very much. Any information or links to other sources would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Appears Dr. Rowley and Margaret O'Brien were secretly (or quietly)
married in August 1905, perhaps so she could keep her teaching job at
Bayfield. Bayfield PRESS Mar 23, 1906, stated Rowley announced the
surprise marriage after Miss O'Brien resigned her teaching post in early
March 1906. Rowley said to be from Sparta, and graduated from Milwaukee
Medical school. Practiced at Phillips for two years before coming to
Bayfield in fall '05 -- same time O'Brien arrived. She was born Brandon,
Wis., attended State Normal at Oshkosh, before coming to Bayfield.
Couple were at Milwaukee at time of article, but were to return to
Bayfield April 2, 1906.

I am new to the list, maybe someone could point me in the right

newspaper article in the Ashland Daily Press, Sat. May 9, 1936) I am
also led to believe that he may have been a lighthouse keeper on Devil's
Island, though I cannot find in my notes why I remember this. I am
trying to prove a connection - that of his being a possible brother to
Selma Amelia Gustafva Gustafson, who married a Joseph LaCharity in
Ashland, Wisconsin in 1902. Selma was my great grandmother, and I am
lost at the moment on tracing her back. She emigrated to the US in 1896,
though did not live in Ashland until after 1900. I believe her to be
from Kalmar, Sweden, though do not know if that means the city or
county. If anyone knows of any kind of page that may have information on
the apostle islands, or of the lighthouse keepers, it would be

little on Selma) I will have more information to trace the family. Thank

The old courthouse in the town of

in 1992 and the historian gave me much information, which included
pictures of my grandmother and first husband and her two girls, who were
about 8 and 10 when their father died, January of 1900. She then married
my grandfather and the historian gave me a copy of the marriage notice
