- Info from Mary Mys
COMMENT: This particular surname appears as Minier/Meaney/Maeney. I have never been able to find any censuses for Mary Louise/Louise/or Lois Minier/Meaney/Maeny anywhere. I suspect that she was never married. FYI, the marriage record for Hilaire Landerman (sic) to Louise MINIER ws on 14 Sep 1891 in Fond du Lac County, WI. "MEANEY" is an Irish surname; Minier is a French-Canadian surname. And what MAENY is I do not know.
One of their sons, Irving/Irvin Abbott Leppla was born in Greenville Township, Outagamie Co., WI ca 1885. If you check his WWI Draft Card, it will list his place. See 1910 US Census for Irvin A. Leppla in Oconto, Oconto Co., WI; see 1920 US Census for Irving Leppla in Oconto, Oconto Co., WI. He should also be in the 1930 US Census in Green Bay or in Brown County, WI. He married Josephine "Josie" Minier/Maeney/Meaney/Mercoe, step-daughter of Hilaire/Hilary/Eli Landreman and Mary Louise, aka Louise aka Lois Minier/Maeney/Meaney on 12 SEP 1906 in Menominee, Menominee Co., MI. My source is an extracted marriage record from the LDS Site. Josephine Leppla's Obit appears in the Kaukauna Times or Kaukauna Sun newspaper, listed as Josephine Leppla, nee Landreman.
They had two children, Dorothy Leppla, born 20 May 1919 in Oconto, Oconto Co., WI and died 14 July 2009 in Green Bay or Preble, Brown County, WI. Dorothy Leppla married Donald NICK, unknown when. Donald NICK born 08 Jan 1913 in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI., son of Joseph Nick and Otilla Unknown. Joseph Nick born June 1885 in WI (suspect Green Bay, Brown, and died 1957 in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI; burial at Allouez Catholic Cemetery, Village of Allouez, Brown County, WI. Otilla Unknown born 1888 in WI and died 1968 in Green Bay, Brown County, WI; burial at Allouez Catholic Cemetery. Donald Nick Died 25 Oct 1998 in Green Bay or Howard, Brown County, WI. Another son of Irvin Abbot Leppla and Josephine was IRVIN LEPPLA born 07 Sep 1919 in Oconto, Oconto Co., WI and died March 3, 1008 in, I believe, CA. SSDI says card issued in WI; death residence California. I do not know who he married.
SEE 1900 US Census for Joseph NICK in 5-WD, Green Bay, Brown Co., WI
Nick, Joseph, age 42 born June 1857 in Germany;
Nick, Anna, age 39 born June 1860 in Germany; along with several children and then
Nick, Joseph, son, age 14 July 1885 in WI.
Thus, Joseph Nick, born July 1885 in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI (not proven), was the son of Joseph Nick, Sr. and Mary Nick. Joseph Nick, Sr. born June 1857 in Germany and died 1943 in Brown County, WI; burial at Allouez Catholic Cemetery, Village of Allouez, Brown Co., WI; wife Anna Unknown born June 1860 in Germany and died 1943 in Brown County, WI; burial at Allouez Catholic Cemetery, Brown Co., WI. If you have Ancestry, you should be able to find the WWI draft card for son, Joseph Nick in Brown County, WI. Since this is a shortened surname "Nick," I am suspecting that they were of Polish descent.
SEE 1920 US Census for Joseph Nick in 6-WD, Green Bay, Brown Co., WI with wife Otilla, age 31, and son Donald and daughter Janet.
Irvin Abbott Leppla's parents were Lutherans. Whether he was a Catholic is unknown. There is no burial for any LEPPLA in the Bay Area Genealogical Society list of cemeteries.
