Hi-- I am wondering if anyone has access to the early deaths in Daviess CO-- say from
1894-1905. I have a Jacob August Jerger, born in Dubois CO Feb 24, 1866, married
Mary Theresa "Theresa" Engelhart in Dubois CO on Aug 22, 1893. They had a
daughter, Bertha Elizabeth on Jan 19, 1894-- Bertha died Oct 9, 1894. Sometime then
Theresa goes to Daviess CO with her widowed father, Paul Eusebus Engelhart. She gives
birth to a son, Paul F. on Nov 6, 1895. She married Charles "Bert" Harbstreit
on Apr 9, 1904 Daviess CO. Paul is not listed in 1900, goes by Harbstreit in 1910 and
1920 and by Engelhart in 1930. I did call the health dept and they told me that on
Paul's birth certificate, no father was listed, only the mother Theresa Engelhart.
I cannot find any death on Jacob Jerger in Dubois CO, so I am wondering if he perhaps
died in Daviess? Can anyone help me? Thanks. Helen Zuber Keusch
