Hi,
I'm looking for some help with a brick wall of mine.
My Great grandmother of mine ..her father.
Peter Benedict was born in Canada in 1810 and died on 14 Oct 1915 in Marinette Wisconsin at the age of 105.
His wake was held at the home of his daugter Fannie Raspberry (nee Benedict )and was buried in Forest Home Cemetary in the Raspbery family plot.
Peter was a Lumber Jobber by trade..as has probly worked in many sawmills and lumber camps.
It is documented that he was the father of 22 kids ..including 4 sets of twins.
At the time of Peter's death his oldest son was 78 yrs and his youngest child was 26.
I have his obit and live acrossed the street from where he is buried.
I'm intrested in finding out the names of his other children..( none were listed on his obit except his daughter Fannie ).
I also have lots of info on my Great Grandmother who is buried next to her father.
Any info will be helpful.
