  Family	Anna Emilie Louise Schulz           b. 31 Jan 1873, Runovy, Pommern, Prussia           d. 11 Sep 1952, Green Grove, Clark County, Wisconsin, USA (Age 79 years)
  Marriage	3 Jul 1892	Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA   [3, 4, 6, 17, 18, 19]
  Research Notes	Another source (Elaine Schoelzel?) gives marriage year as 1891. In the 1905 Wisconsin census, two additional children are listed in August and Anna’s household: Matilda and Emma Koehler, aged 12 and 14 years respectively. Both are listed as step-daughters of August. Their exact relationship is unclear. On their marriage license, Anna is listed as “Miss,” not “Mrs.,” which would normally indicate that she has not been previously married. Perhaps Matilda and Emma’s mother is Anna sister?  [2, 3, 10]
  Notes	Moved from Chicago to a farm southwest of Colby, Wisconsin in April 1893. Retired and moved into town of Colby in September 1920. [7, 17, 19]
