Descendants of Jakob (James) Boeshaar Generation No. 1
1. JAKOB (JAMES)1 BOESHAARNotes for J AKOB (JAMES) BOESHAAR:Resume of Boeshaar Research, "Bits About The Schmidts", by Ruth Mae Babington Schmidt, 1975 In April, 1974, I began to put together the stories of the Boeshaar family. With these few stories to guide me, I started at Union Cemetery [Milwaukee] office where Peter's first wife should be recorded. The man in the office explained to me that records before 1865 were so incomplete they were considered to have little value, therefore early burials on this cemetery were now listed in a card catalog showing owner of lot and number of graves. We found the card for Peter Boeshaar. It was Lot 176, in Sec. 3, Lot 1 of Block 1 of St. John's cemetery. He explained the oldest part of Union cemetery used to be called St. John's, and there are practically no markers left on graves there. (In May, 1975, Lewis Schmidt and I went to Union cemetery to locate this grave. The marker was broken and laying in pieces about the lot, It could still be read, but the base was sunken and crooked. We knew this stone would be added to the pile of broken pieces of old markers the clean-up men already had collected. We were probably the last people to see the marker of Lena Just Boeshaar, or to find her grave. The area is overgrown and vandalized; we were just lucky we went this spring as all evidence [beyond the card-catalog] of her burial, will soon be gone. Peter's "card" indicated there were 2 adult graves and eight children's graves on this lot. (He [the man in the office] said any person under six was considered a child). Of the eight squares for children, five had no names. The three with names were buried after 1865. This could mean the others were buried earlier, or just not named. The 3 children's graves had the following record: *Johanna Boeshaar--Dec. 3, 1868 *Madeline (or Magdalene) Boeshaar--Sept. 22, 1869 *Phillip Boeshaar--Mar. 17, 1870 *Indicates that these names were also in Church records. A search at Milwaukee Co. Court House, in Sept [1975?] showed 3 Boeshaars buried at Union cemetery, in 1879, ( it does not say on which lot). Vol. 8 p280 Gustave Boeshaar b. 1872; d. Mar. 26, 1879, cause of death; laryngitis and diphtheria. Vol. 8 p77 Henrietta Boeshaar, b. 1874, d. Apr. 2, 1879, cause of death: diphtheria. Vol. 14 p479 Caroline Boeshaar, b. 1876, d. Apr. 7, 1879, cause of death; diphtheria. (These were the 3 children who died in one week, we had often been told about in later years.)

His marriage certificate states his occupation as "shoemaker"; his death certificate lists his occupation as "farmer". Family legend says Peter emigrated to America at age 15 years, in company with several brothers, one being Daniel, who came to Milwaukee with him. The other brothers settled in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Daniel returned to this area about 1869.

Notes for HENRY BOESHAAR BARKER: Henry was born in Milwaukee and lived there until about 1910. Because of some financial difficulty in the company where he was employed, he moved to Iowa and changed his name to Barker. Consequently, the younger children grew up as Barkers and not as Boeshaars. Only Henry's oldest son, Eugene, kept the family name. Aunt Lydia Wrote; "Henry was a talented, fine-looking man, in my opinion." His granddaughter, Betty, wrote; " All I remember about Grandpa is what a crab he was. He never smiled. It seemed he never said anything unless it was to bawl someone out. Grandma was an angel. Of course, I was just a little girl and they lived with us." Peggy wrote: " I always think of Henry as Grandpa Barker, I never knew why some of the family was Barker and Uncle Eugene was a Boeshaar. I imagined Grnadpa must have done something wrong and my imagination made me think much worse things than were really true. They were good grandparents to us kids. He loved his garden; and he had SOME garden." Henry move several times in his early married life, from Milwaukee to Illinois and back to Milwaukee in several locations before he moved to Iowa. He was a salesman, or agent, and apparently owed his company quite a sum of money. [He enjoyed social life outside of his home beyond what he earned when supporting his family.] rather than pay the consequences or debt incurred, he moved out of state and changed his name to Barker. Although his company was reimbursed, from his share of his father's estate (records in Milwaukee Co. Court House), Henry did not return to Milwaukee. The "crime" seems to have been more to the family pride than to any actual misdemeanor. In later generations, the incident might have been forgotten except for the change of name -- it is related here only to explain the change of name. Bits About the Schmidts, 1975.

More About JOHANN "DAVID" BOESHAAR: Occupation: Farmer Notes for WILHELMINA "MINNIE" SCHMIDT: David and Minnie began their married life on a farm at the corner of Burleigh, Appleton and 60th streets (the land is now Wander's Rest Cemetery). About 1890 they moved to Oshkosh, where they farmed in the Town of Algoma, until their youngest son took over the farm and they moved to Oshkosh where David became janitor for their church until his death. They are both buried in Oshkosh. More About JOHANN BOESHAAR and WILHELMINA SCHMIDT: Marriage: 14 Apr 1884, Milwaukee, WI vi. ROSALINA "ROSAANNA" BOESHAAR, b. 19 Jan 1863, Milwaukee, WI; d. 16 Jun 1944, Granville, WI; m. JOHN SCHMIDT, 20 Feb 1884; b. 27 Apr 1863; d. 21 Jun 1919, Granville, WI. Notes for JOHN SCHMIDT: John Schmidt grew up on his father's farm on Wauwatosa Avenue. He learned the cooper trade, because Anton insisted all of his boys must learn a trade. Although John was a farmer all of his life, he made beer barrels on the farm during the winter. This was a special skill as beer barrels must stand the pressure of fermentation. The children gathered cattail leaves to put between the staves, to seal them. All of the Schmidt boys were skilled in handling wood. The schnitzelbunk was a necessary tool in their home. All of John's sons turned to carpentry or woodcraft of some kind at some time in their lives, although all of his boys were also farmers. In 1884 John was married to Rosa Boeshaar, and they began married life in the tenant house on Uncle Phillip's farm at 130th and Burleigh. The lived there about four years. Lydia, Ella and Laura were born here. From here they moved to Uncle Phillip's house on 87th and Lisbon. Walter was born here in 1888. In 1889, Cora was born, while they lived on the Oscar Hartung farm. In 1890, David Boeshaar, Rosa's brother (who was farming on the land that is now Wanderer's Rest Cemetery) and John Schmidt tried farming in Oshkosh. Grandma Rosie used to tell of the auction on Hartung's farm, how payment was made in silver instead of checks or paper money. They put the money in a grain bag to carry it to the bank. The bag was so heavy Grandpa could scarcely lift it to the wagon seat. The families were put on the train at West Granville to make the trip to Oshkosh. John and David each drove a team of wagons loaded with personal belongings. They arrived in Oshkosh several days later. John and Rosa chose a farm near Fitzgerald Station, about a mile down the road from Boeshaars. John stayed in Oshkosh for twelve years; Lillie and John were born there. There were six children in seven years, and Aunt Minnie's family were of a close age. Early school memories for these children are rooted in Oshkosh. These two families of cousins, doubly related, grew up together; always at each other's places doing things together. In the spring of 1902, John Schmidt returned to Milwaukee county. He bought the Tenneson farm on 107th and Silver Spring, in the town of Granville. In August of that year Elmer was born. Some of the stories have it that Grandpa was not happy with this "trailer" addition to the family, ten years after the youngest one, but Elmer became his Pet and was more coddled and spoiled than an only child. They lived on the Tenneson farm for 16 years. In 1910-1912, the Northwestern Railroad built a Belt Line from Butler to Sparta. Grandma turned the huge farm house into a boarding house for about 20 skilled workers, such as cranemen, engineers and shovelmen. Grandma got $5 a week room and board, with laundry and lunches packed. Lillie was still home to help with the extra work. These two years were lucrative years for the Schmidts. Both Johnny and Walter worked on trestle building. Unskilled construction workers stayed in a camp near Butler. They got .25 cents an hour wage. Skilled workers could earn from $150 to $250 per month, but they often worked many extra hours without overtime, to keep the job going smoothly. In 1912, Johnny was married and farmed with his father. All of Johnny's children were born in this big house. When Grandpa moved to Milwaukee in 1918, to 625 27th Street, Gust and Lillie Kaun moved onto the Tenneson farm to work in partnership with Johnny, for one year. Johnny moved to Sherman, N.Y., and Gust stayed on this farm until 1954. The big house was struck by lightning on June 7, 1920 (the day after Verna was born). In 1933 the barn burned. In the late 40's Timmerman Airfield bought 40 acres of the farm and Gust bought the other 80. Grandpa missed the farm. He took a job with the Menomonee Beet Co. as a sort of public relations man between farmers and company. He felt this would keep him close to farm friends and farm work. He had a Model T Ford to travel the area. He broke his arm cranking it and needed someone to help him drive. As Elmer was helping Walter with farm work, Uncle Fred Schmidt suggested 11-year old Stewart could help. On June 21, 1919, while making the rounds of the farms in the town of Granville, their car was struck by a train at the crossing on Wauwatosa Ave. Both were killed. Uncle Fred not only lost a son but a favorite brother More About JOHN SCHMIDT: Burial: Wanderer's Rest Cemetery (now Lincoln Memorial), Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Occupation: Cooper / Farmer Residence: Bet. 1884 - 1888, Tenant house on Uncle Phillip's farm at 130th & Burleigh.

LOUIS SCHMIDT, 18 Jan 1888; b. 20 Aug 1865, Milwaukee, WI; d. 17 Mar 1931. Notes for LOUIS SCHMIDT: Louie and Polly started married life on a farm on Lisbon Road, just east of 92nd Street. All three of their boys were born here, but Polly was not well and they decided to move to Milwaukee on 27th Street between Lisbon and Vine. Louie worked in the wash house at the Blatz Brewery most of his life, where he was foreman. Louie and his brothers, Fred and George (and even the loudest brother John on his own farm) made barrels during the winter and sold them to the brewery. In the fall of each year, Louie Schmidt and his brother-in-law, Herman Gruett, did threshing. They owned their own threshing rig for many years. They were much sought afterin the area because of the thorough job of threshing they did. After Louis' death, Polly made her home with her son Erwin's family; until three years before her death, she went to live with her sister Lydia at Columbus, WI. She died there at age 96.

BOESHAAR: Occupation: Blatz Brewery Notes for EMMA SCHMIDT: Fred and Emma Boeshaar lived most of their lives on 28th Street between Lisbon and Vine. Fred was an officer in Blatz Brewery. In later years, Fred had a leg amputated because of diabetes. Younger folks remember Aunt Emma's home as always a hospitable "welcome" place for who ever "came to town" or stopped there. Many a good times were enjoyed by young and old alike in this home. In later years, Fred cracked hickory nuts, hours upon hours. He always welcomed a fresh sack of nuts to crack, and gave generously of the nut meats to whoever came to see him. More About FRED BOESHAAR and EMMA SCHMIDT: Marriage: WFT Est. 1886-1917 xiii.
