Johan SCHMITZ
Anna Bella Margaret Bauer, as I recall, beleives she was named after her grandmother Anna Bella Meisen. In one record she includes the middle name Mary. However, the other two compiled family records that I have give her name as only Maria. Anna Bella Margaret Bauer also noted her grandmother Meisen's birth place as England. I have no other information one way or the other.
St. Anthony may have been the burial place rather than the death place.
She may have been born on the 23rd rather than the 25th.
St. Martin may have been the burial place rather than the death place.
Melrose may have been the burial place rather than the death place.
Death date is recorded as the 12th in one place and the 15th in another. Schmitz Family Record (both typed and written) gives St. Martin where the death place commonly is. However, it could easily be the burial place or a mistake. Mimi (Anna Bella Bauer) records the death place as St. Cloud.
He may have been buried in Lamoure rather than died there. Additionally, it could have been in the town of La Moure, which is in the county of Lamoure. Either way the county is Lamoure.
St. Francis is listed next to her death date. I'm assuming that she died there, but she may have been buried there. It's either one or the other. I'm also assuming that this St. Francis is the town in Anoka County near the family turf.
Death date is recorded in one place as Nov. 7, 1972 and in another place as Oct. 7, 1972. True date unknown.
Farming may have been her burial place rather than her death place. I'm assuming that this Farming is the Farming in Stearns County since it is near the rest of the family.
Regal may have been the burial place rather than the death place. Additionally, I'm assuming that this is the Regal in Minnesota. Regal is on the border of Stearns and Kandiyohi Counties.
Sauk Centre may have been the burial place rather than the death place.
