Notes for Mary (Marie) Magdeline Markee: Mary was born in New York, per her death certificate the city of birth was not stated. An 1850 Census from the state of New York shows her father Frank Markee as Living in Township of West Sparta. That is what I am using for her City of birth. Another census for 1860 shows Frank Markee living in Town Eaton WI. So I am assuming that somewhere between 1850 and 1860 Frank moved his family to Wisconsin. This is where she met and married Martin Kautzer.
Mary's date of birth is also in question. Her death certificate states that she was born on Sept . 13, 1850. The church record states that it was Dec. 11, 1847. The funeral car d and her tombstone state that it was Sept. 1, 1850. Since it is on her tombsto ne I am using Sept. 1, 1850. The funeral card was sent to me by Bill Zinzli, an d verification of the tombstone was also by Bill Zinzli.
Mary is buried at St. Michael's Cemetery in Hewitt, Wi. Mary Had been Ill for about one year, and died from general debility asthma. Source: death certificate. She was liste d as a farmer's wife under occupation. Her parent's names (Markee) were misspelled on her death certificate. It was spelled Marker.
