Hi Sharon: My John was born March 5, 1864 and as I stated earlier, I believe in Lithuania,
Graziskis or maybe Graziskiai. I have no knowledge of any family other than his wife,
Elizabeth (Louise) Gundermann and their children, August, born August 1866: Robert, born
July 1890: both born in Europe and accompanied parents to US in Jun 1891: and my
grandmother Johanna, born April 23, 1892 in Sheboygan.
Also as I said earlier, John was killed in Racine Dec 25, 1944 after getting off city bus
and being hit by auto while walking to his home. Racine city library has Journal Times
account on microfilm. I believe paper is dated Dec 26 or 27, 1944. John, Louise and Robert
are buried in Mound Cemetery, very near the Wadewitz monument.
And yes, as a chiild I knew him and remember him very fondly.
Regards,
Tim
