He was born in Beloit but lived in Superior. Had a sister Florence Moran who also lived in Superior.

She died in 1953 and is buried I believe at Greenwood Cemetery | Rene | 08/21/09 | | 09-24 | Clark | Just interested in any information regarding my grandfather and family - Thomas Clark (Grandfather) Jason D. Clark (Father). My father was born in Superior in 1865. And my grandfather was a surveyor and "founder" of the Split Rock Lighthouse location. | Ella | 08/21/09 | | 09-23 | Hjerpe, Lantilla | I'm looking for Esther Lantilla's (Hjerpe) grave. She died on December 7, 1934 in Superior. Her obituary states that services were held at the Finnish Apostolic Church, but there is no marker. | Dennis | 08/20/09 | | 09-22 | Chadwick, Ely, Henderson, Watson | My gfather Forest M. HENDERSON is listed in 1910 Fed. Census as residing in Douglas Co., WI, along with his wife Stella R(uth) HENDERSON, age 22, and two small children, Rose G.(age 3), and Lloyd S. (age 2). Stella would have been pregnant with my mother, Stella Adelaide HENDERSON, at this time.
Forest worked on the railroads, and they are listed as residing with the John O. & Anna M. ELY family, along with approximately 21 other people. It seems this must have been a fairly large boarding house at the time.
Am looking for any info on Forest M. HENDERSON (I have extensive info on Stella and her ancestors), and on the boarding or rooming house they resided in with the ELY family, or the culture (good and bad) of working on the railroads, or many young people living in large rooming houses in Douglas Co. at that time. He was a brakeman on the Great Northern RR at some point.
My mother, Stella Adelaide HENDERSON, was born Dec 23, 1910, while they were in transit on the RR line in Bloomington IL. This is definitely her family --- met Lloyd myself before he passed away. The family was broken up in 1911-1912 when Forest disappeared. There are family stories of someone having seen him after that; another possibility that was considered was he had died while working on the railroad, and it wasn't properly reported. Forest was a big red-headed man, hard-drinking, apparently hard-fighting man, and may have been in some scrapes with the law. He may have left the family rather than died in 1911-1912, and therefore may have remarried, quite possibly along the RR lines going in and out of Superior, WI and Douglas Co., WI.
Any info, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.

Any advice oor assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks as I live in Fond Du Lac and cannot readily make the trip to Superior. | Susan | 08/20/09 | | 09-20 | Davis, Schirmack, Schumach, Wagner | I am interested in knowing who the parents are of Edward T. Davis. He is shown with John and Maria Schumach in the 1860 census of Sheboygan, Wisconsin with brother, Frederick Davis. John and Maria Schumach are uncle and aunt of Edward and Frederick Davis, but I am looking for the 'Davis' lineage.
During the late 1800's and into the 1900's William Wagner and Edward Davis were employed by the same business concerns either copper smelting and/or tree, lumber business. Somebody in Douglas County must be related to these two men somehow, and I may be Edward Davis' granddaughter. I have information about Edward T.
