.I took photos of my Catherine RUSSELL and my GOMBER gravestones
as well as
photos of the Oconto Courthouse and am attaching them. Please
post them if
you feel others would be interested. They are at the Catholic
Cemetery in
Oconto, WI.
Ann Ellen RUSSELL did needlework throughout her life
making many of the altar cloths for St. Joseph's and then for St.
Thomas
Aquinas in Milwaukee after they moved there. Despite 12 children,
she was
always busy doing crochet work using the big pocket in her apron
to contain
her items in progress.
RUSSELL gravestone:
Catherine Barnes RUSSELL b. 19 Dec 1843 Ottawa,
Can; d. 06 Apr 1889
Oconto, WI
Gomber gravestone:
Dudley Gomber (husband of Marie Rosetta RUSSELL (b.
Apr 1908), daughter
of Alexander David RUSSELL and Mary Theresa LADURON.
Hope this helps anyone else researching these families.
This connects to research being done by
Gloria A. Olson regarding the Laduron Family; and by Ann
Ellen Barr regarding the RUSSELL family.
