Edward’s father and my great great grandfather. Born Oct 14 1844 in Bascharage (aka Niederkerschen Village), Luxembourg & died 1912 in Appleton, Wisconsin. He is buried at St. Joseph’s in Appleton. He was often ill and died of of some lung ailment which may have been caused by his employment as a wheelwright [maker or repairer of wheels, i.e. buggy wheels].
