Dear
Betty,
Here’s the information you
requested:
From Cemeteries
of Brown County, Illinois
Mt Sterling
Catholic Cemetery pp. 154, 175, 194, 199,
Misc Burials
pp. 410-411
Phillip Morschhauser, 1833 –
1910
Magdalena, wife of Phillip
Morschhauser, 1834 –1902
Adam Morschhauser,
[2nd] son of Philip and Magdalena Morschhauser, 1868 –
1891
Valentine Morschhauser,
[3rd] son of Philip and Magdalena Morschhauser, 1871 –
1902
Phillip Morschhauser,
[4th] son of Philip and Magdalena Morschhauser, [no
dates]
Lena Morschhauser,
[5th] dau. of Philip and Magdalena Morschhauser, [no
dates]
Anna Morschhauser,
[6th] dau. of Philip and Magdalena Morschhauser, [no
dates]
Anton Morschhauser,
[1st] son of Philip and Magdalena Morschhauser, 1865 –
1945
Magdalena Bauers, wife of Anton
Morschhauser, 1866 – 1948
Note: the numbers in [] are the
childrens positions in the family from the family relationships section on p.
194.
On p. 154 Anton is listed as a
trustee of the Cemetery in the organizational meeting held 25 Aug
1919.
On p. 199, Magdalena Bauers is
listed with her family. There is some confusion here in that her family is
listed with the surname of Young, which would make her Magdalena Bauers Young.
The person writing the family history causes the confusion in how Magdalena’s
mothers middle name is given. At first look, her maiden name appears to be
Bauers but proves to be Meyers in
another entry and Magdalena appears to have gotten her middle name from her
mother’s middle name. This confusion is caused by the way the Cemeteries book
was compiled. The confusion can only be resolved by checking the related entries
and perhaps even looking at other sources. I have given only what I found in the
Cemeteries book.
In the Misc. Burials
Sections:
Magdaena Morschhauser – 20 May
1902
Anthony Morschhauser – 30 July
1945
Sincerely,
Ken

I am
hoping that you can help me with my family. The name is Morschhauser, but
can be found misspelled often. Phillip and his wife and children were in
Mt Sterling by 1870. Phillip died 1910, Magdalena 20 May 1902. I
have a couple of death dates for their children, but would like to find the rest
of them. Children are Phillip, Anthony, Magdalena, Adam, Valentine, Anna,
John and Leo. They were German and probably Catholic if that helps narrow
the cemeteries.
Thank you
for any help you can give me.
