Note: RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 10, 2014 The initial information was found in the book "Nienhaus Family History and Genealogy" by Jack Nienhaus and Janet Heindl. The information has been subsequently supported via the records and documentation listed below. GENERAL NOTES Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 10, 2014 All of the following information originates from "Nienhaus Family History and Genealogy." Gertrude was also known as "Anna" and "Catharina." She never married. The 1910 Outagamie County/Appleton City Wisconsin Directory lists Anna to a border at 23 Sherman Place, Appleton, Outgamie County, Wisconsin. She worked as a housekeeper for a Father Schilling in Holy Angels rectory in Darboy, Wisconsin. When Father Schilling died, Gertrude lived in Appleton until she could no longer care for herself. She then went to the McCormick home in Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin, where she died. Father Schilling had left money to this home when it was built so they would take care of Gertrude when she was too old to live alone. When she died, members of the Heindl family attended the funeral. Some of the information regarding Anna's job, residence, and retirement comes from a letter from Magdalene Heindl Kieffer to Janet Heindl in September 1977. Magdalene made no comment in the letter regarding her aunt's first name. The death record and findings at the libraries substantiates what Magdalene wrote. There is nothing to explain why she appeared as Gertrude or Catharina in the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Wisconsin census records. She was referred to as Gertrude in a letter dated December 13, 1938 to William J. Nienhaus from Magdalene Heindl Kieffer. 1850 CENSUS OF GERTRUDE NEWHOUSE Researched by Timothy J.

Barron, updated April 10, 2014 The U.S. Census enumerated on August 13, 1870 shows her living with her parents in Morrison, Brown County, Wisconsin: LINE 3: Catherina Newhouse, age 25, female, white, occupation: house keeper, born in Wisonsin, father foreign born, mother foreign born. 1900 CENSUS OF ANNA NEWHAUS Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 10, 2014 The U.S. Census enumerated on June 11, 1900 shows her living as a housekeeper in the household of Rev. Michael Schnell in Luxemborg, Kewaunee County, Wisconsin: LINE 52: Anna Newhaus, housekeeper, wife, female, white, born May 1845, age 55, single, born in Wisconsin, father born in Germania, mother born in Germania, occupation: servant, can read, can write. 1910 CITY DIRECTORY OF ANNA NIENHAUS Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 10, 2014 The U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989, lists the following record: "Name: Anna Nienhaus; Residence Year: 1910; Street Address: 23 Sherman Place; Residence Place: Appleton, Wisconsin; Publication Title: Appleton, Wisconsin, City Directory, 1910." The following was transcribed from the actual directory on page 288: "Anna Nienhaus, res 23 Sherman Place." 1910 CENSUS OF ANNA NIENHAUS Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 10, 2014 The U.S. Census enumerated on April 16, 1910 shows her living in Appleton, Outagamie County, Wisconsin: LINE 88: Anna Nienhaus, head of household, female, white, age 64, single, born in Wisconsin, father born in Germany (mother tongue German), mother born in Germany (mother tongue German), occupation: none, can read, can write. 1922 DEATH OF GERTRUDE NIENHAUS Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 10, 2014 All of the following information originates from "Nienhaus Family History and Genealogy." Gertrude's December 11, 1922 death is recorded with the Register of Deeds Office, Brown County, Green Bay, Wisconsin, Volume 24, page 869, and the record also gives her birth date. The portion of the death record giving place of burial, is torn torn off, except the word, DePere. Based on the location of the two Catholic cemetaries in DePere, Brown County, most likely she is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, South Erie Street, east of Highway 57. The headstone, if any, could not be located. The old cemetery records were destroyed.
