Ken's dad came into possession of a scrapbook his Grandmother had. In it are about 3 dozen news clippings from 1920-1970, mostly family obits.  Ken left the typos and misspellings as they were found. A lot of the clippings seem to involve the families of Robert and Mathilda (Busch) Marquardt and their in-laws.  Later on, the Kupsky family will creep in, leading Ken to believe his Grandmother Cecelia Marquardt Kupsky, daughter of Robert and Matilda, kept up the book from whomever started it.  His dad says some of the notes are her writing, but some may not be. 

Ken, what a wonderful scrapbook and we're so happy that you are able to share some of Grandmother Cecelia's legacy with the Shawano site.  And if you find your family here, Ken would love to hear from you.

DIED AT AGE OF 78 YEARS
FOLLOWING STROKE OF PARALYSIS.
                                      
     Herman Busch, a highly respected citizen of the Village of Bonduel, at his home on Saturday, Dec. 18th., following an illness of a few days caused by a stroke. Aged nearly seventy-eight years.
     The deceased was born at Barkow, Germany. There he lived until twenty years of age. Before immigrating to America with his parents he was united in marriage to Miss Augusta Lemke, with whom he lived until death, which was a period of fifty-nine years. Nine children were born to them, of whom all are living except one. Immediately after his arrival to America, he settled in the town of Hartland. Shawano Co., where he made his home until eighteen years ago, when he moved the Village of Bonduel to spend declining years. Mr. Busch was a faithful member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church. He was a husband and kind and father and true friend, winning the friendship of many through his kind disposition. Mr. Busch served in the official office as Village marshall for years, besides holding other public offices, in which capacity he served faithfully. He enjoyed good health until several weeks ago, when his health began to fail.
     The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at the Bonduel St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Rev. Walter Plischke officiating.
     He is deeply mourned by his aged wife and eight children as follows:  Mrs. Wm. Krueger, Bonduel: Mrs. Emman Hastings, Rothchild; Miss Pauline Busch Bonduel; Otto Busch, Bonduel:  Mrs. Wm. Marquardt, Zachow; Mrs. Robert Marquardt.

YOUNG LADY LAID TO REST.
LEONA MARQUARDT FUNERAL HELD SATURDAY AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 7.

     Miss Leona Marquardt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Marquardt died at the home of her parents Tuesday, February third, following an illness of several days of Typhoid Fever. Aged eighteen years, nine months and nineteen days.
     She was born May fourteenth 1906 in Bonduel. Here she was reared and educated. She first attended the Public School and later the Christian Day School of Bonduel, where she was confirmed in the Spring of 1920 by the late Rev. Martin Mueller. After confirmation she entered the local Junior High School, and graduated in June 1922 She was a kind, loving daughter, and her devotion to the family circle had no limit. Her future was full of promise, and we dare not ask why she was taken in her prime, unless, as flowers are picked before the frost finds them that we may not witness their decay. It is sad, indeed, to see a young lady of her qualities taken so unexpectedly. Nothing but the thought of the loving hand that has taken her can reconcile those who loved her to her absence. While she has gone from the scene, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will live in the hearts of those who loved her best. May God comfort them.
     The funeral was held Saturday afternoon from the St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Bonduel. Rev. Walter Plischke officiated, who paid a most beautiful and fitting tribute to her memory.
     She is mourned by her parents, seven brothers and sisters and grand-parents.
     The out-of-town relatives present at the funeral were: Mrs. Henry Gipp and Jacob Staab of Dorchester Mrs. Tony Tratz and son Arthur of Tjgerton, Miss Pauline Busch of Appleton, Mrs. Chas. Langner and son Rudolph of Oshkosh, Leo Groonwald of Wild Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Radtke and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
