| Martin Rosbeck's military marker with flag |
As I was looking for an obituary for today (and making sure I didn't repost one that I had already done), I noticed that I actually had 2 obituaries for Martin with slightly different information in them so I decided to post this one as well for any potential Rosbeck researchers out there!"Martin F. Rosbeck, 81, 414 Third Ave., a retired farmer, died Sunday, Feb. 4, at St. Joseph's Hospital. He had been hospitalized for about one week.
He was born Jan. 16, 1892, in St. Kilian. He married Theresa Kiefer at St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Theresa on May 8, 1923. After their marriage they lived in Milwaukee for about 15 years and then they moved to the St. Kilian area where they farmed for 22 years. In 1961 they moved to West Bend.
He is survived by his wife, and four children, Mrs. Margaret Brill, of Menominee [sic] Falls, three sons, Robert, of Theresa, and Ralph and Norbert of West Bend. He is also survived by three daughters-in-law and one son-in-law, 26 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
He was a member of World War I Barracks 2617 and they will hold services at the Miller Funeral Home, Kewaskum, Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Visitation will be after 4 p.m. Tuesday at Miller's in Kewaskum and parish vigil at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The funeral services will be Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the funeral home, and at 10:30 a.m. at St. Kilian's Catholic Church, St. Kilian with Fr. Elroy Pesch, O.S.S., officiating. Burial will be in St. Kilian's Cemetery."
[Hand-dated, Feb. 4 - 1973]
Martin was my husbands 2nd great uncle.
These clippings were passed on to me by my mother-in-law in Wisconsin. Most are hand-dated and do not give the newspaper name that they were published in. They would most obviously be from a newspaper in the St. Kilian and/or Green Bay area.
