Anton Weiss in Cassville

[kingrat]

There was another item in the map I found yesterday that is of interest to me. On one of the other sheets is a city map of Cassville, where my great great grandfather Anton Weiss operated a hardware store for close to 50 years.

Just as I was able to find Patrick Parker in Glen Haven, Anton Weiss store shows up in this map too:

Here’s what the location looks like today:

I’ve made one visit to Cassville, but at the time I didn’t know the location of the family home.

I stopped in Guttenberg very briefly last year. Anton Weiss' wife is Anna Clara Voigt. One of her nieces (Rosalie Zimmerman) married a fellow from Guttenberg and moved there. Alex Sullivan died shortly after they were married though. Rosalie remarried to a gentleman from South Dakota after that and moved there. (Then he died...)

Heya! I am tentatively planning a trip to the Guttenberg area mid-July and would be happy to do lookups on your folks while I'm digging around for my folks. Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in. :)
