| Ryan | 04/23/06 | | 06-11 | Farquhar, Hanitch | I am looking for any information about Louis & Elizabeth (Farquhar) Hanitch that lived in Superior, Wisconsin from around 1893 to 1919, then moving to Hopkins, Minnesota.
From my research, Louis Hanitch was a prominent attorney in Superior and was born in Dayton, Ohio October 9, 1863 and passed away June 7, 1937 in Hopkins, Minnesota. Elizabeth Hanitch was born in California September 8, 1868 and passed away July 1, 1958 in Minnesota.
My family is renovating the house that Louis Hanitch built in Superior around 1897, currently at 609 East 4th Street. I am attempting to locate any possible living descendants that may have photos of the house or family during that time. According to the obituary of Louis Hanitch, two daughters were still living, Catherine Hanitch in Minnesota and Mary Johnson in Texas, as well as two grandsons. Catherine passed away in Minnesota August 4, 1993. I am unable to find any additional information. There is a "Betty Hanitch" scholarship at Superior Senior High School in memory of one of Louis Hanitch's deceased daughters. I am also looking for obituaries from anyone in the Hanitch family. Any information would be greatly appreciated! | Ryan | 04/23/06 | | 06-10 | Anderson, Munro | George A. Anderson, born 1873 Canada, buried Evergreen Cemetery and Charles N.

Do you, by chance, have any information on an Axel Nordholm married to an Ellen. He was born 1884 in Sweden and arrived in the USA in 1903.
Second Person is Jacob Haugen born in Norway around1863. Lived in Surperior WI. His brother, I believe, was Hans Haugen living atthe address of 2415 Hammond Ave. Surperior WI in Aug. 1937. I believe Jacob diedin Superior but I have no records on him. It's like he just vanished. He marriedAmelia Everson pre 1888 which was the year of their first child being born.
All the children were born in Douglas County and they are: - Anna Matilda B:22 Apr 1888
- Henry Edgar B:14 Oct. 1889
- James Arther B:31 Jan 1891
- Laura Belle B:29 Jan 1892
- Clara Josephene B:26 Jan 1895
- Jennie Eleanor B:02 Feb. 1898
3rd person is Amelia (Emelia) Everson. Married toJacob Haugen. She was born 28 Nov 1865 in Norway and came to the USA 3 monthsold. Died 19 Jan 1912. Buried in Minong WI age 46. Poss mothers name is Matilda.Poss lived in Town of Chicog (?). Her mother outlived her along with 3 sistersand 3 brothers all living at her death.
I found an old Obit. that gave me theabove information, it was cut out and folded so I don't know where it was fromand parts are missing. I really hope you can help me. I have given you all theinformation I have. Thank you. | Stephanie | 02/02/06 | | 06-03 | Betts | Looking for info on my father, Leslie Betts, and his sisters. | William | 01/25/06 | | 06-02 | Peck | I am looking for the burial location of Allan Peck who died on December 29, 1939. Al was the president and owner of Peck-Foster Motors in Superior and lived at 606 East Eighth Street in Superior. His wife was Edith Weade Peck. | Dwight | 01/25/06 | | 06-01 | Kangas, Keiski, Wahamaki | I am trying to obtain more information on the following Finnish immigrants who first immigrated to Ironwood, MI, in the early 1900's, but later, moved to the Superior area and remained there until about WWII.
Hilma Keiski born 9.9.1880 in Lohtaja Finland, came to US in 1903. Her passenger record denotes her final US destination is Ironwood, MI, to see Kalle Keiski. Although her record denotes he is her brother, we are not sure if this is accurate, as there is no indication (from what little info we have!) that she had a brother named Kalle. Perhaps Kalle was her cousin.
Hilma's parents were Jaakko Keiski (9/13/1837 - 4/20/1889) and Brita Kangas(12/20/1836) from the town of Kälviä.
Siblings: note dates listed for these people is Day, Month, Year:- Juho (24.6.1860), no children
- Edla Sofia (9.7.1862), no husband, no children
- Loviisa (18.9.1866) ?
- Matti Leander (27.3.1870) ?
- Matilda (28.10.1877), married with Wiljami Lento 1902, ?
- Hilma (22.9.1880) (our person of interest)
After Hilma arrived in the US, at some point she married a man (name unknown) and had one or two children. However, we believe all died. In about 1910, she married Matti Wahamaki (parents unknown), and had several children, all of which we have info on.
In addition, we believe a Matti Wahamaki (possibly our Matti, but perhaps not)was married prior to his marriage to Hilma. He or another Matti Wahamaki mayhave been married to Amalia or Amelia Mattila, 11 Sep 1903 Ironwood, but we arenot sure, as these are just a a few of the leads we need assistance with. I onlyfind one Matti Wahamaki in Michigan census records, and that is in 1910 withHilma. I believe at some point Matti (or Matt) worked for Dupont, but I don'tknow if that was in MI or WI.
We are hoping perhaps there are various records on Matti and Hilma Wahamaki in Douglas County. Although they were not born or died in this county, they may have owned land, had children born there, etc.
Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer! | JHS | 01/25/06 |
