Family History Researcher:
I just went thought the info, it's a lot!! Thanks again. I see you have my Dad's (Pilsner) Mom Josephine married to an unknowen Hamus. His name was Joseph also. They had no children. Josephine and Joseph Pilsner had 9 kids. I have his obit but my Dad is missing from it and twins that died at birth (Patrick and Patricia).Mayme's (Oscar Kille) kids are all listed but my Mom Vernita Mae. All of the kids are dead now but Ronni Reiger, he was adopted out when Mayme died. Vernita went to live with Frances (Henry) Earll (Oscar Kille's sister). Sylvan died in the orphanage of mumps or some kind of now vaccinated illness. They older boys lived at the orphanage and Grace went to live with another sister (Mayme's sister). Grace just died in 2005 in Calf. She had no children. I have lots more but don't know how far you want to go with this part of the family.

From online trees;

My Dad does not remember much. He was 6 when his Dad died, because of this he started school at 7. His Mom did not get along with Anna so there was really no contact after his death. My Dad only remembers Anna giving him some candy as he walked to school one time. After Joe died they were very poor and shunned by the town. My Dad would go around selling potatoes out of his red wagon to help out. When I was young my friend would come to the door to ask me to play. My Dad would always say "we don't want any potatoes". I was 20 years old before I found out why he said that. Marvin, older brothr to my Dad is living in Northern WI, most everyone else is gone. Marv may remember more, I will see what I can do. My Dad lives in Madison, we have lived here twice. My Dad started working for Montgomery Wards when he was 16. He worked for them for 45 years and we lived all around the Midwest. My sister died in South Dakota of a brain tumor a few months before she was 4. My mom has never gotten over this. They transferred her body via train to Marshfield. There are 3 other plots open, my parents will be buried there. The plot is across the road from Joe and Josephine but not far away. The twins are also next to Joe and Josephine, they died at birth.The brother did own a bar, I just life was pretty good then, they had a bit of money. So many reports on how Joe died, from a bar fight to TB., My Dad said it was from a fall of a barn when his Dad was helping a neighbor. I ran across the obit and it does say something like that but my Mom says he had TB.I will ask my Mom about Marie, I remember hearing about her. Also Dad's cousin Louie was around a lot and stood up in their wedding, I think he died within the past 10 years.I do not think we have any pictures of Joe but I will ask.
