Here is the World War I draft registration for the 4th son of Emil and Julia Yunghans.























Like his older brother Otto, Ernst was employed as a teacher.    Ernst was employed by the 1st Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel Congregation in Cedarburg, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin.

Ernst Yunghans lived only 10 minutes north of his aunt and uncle, Hulda and Otto Junghans.

This is the first link I have found that one of Emil and Julia's children lived near Emil Yunghans' younger brother, Otto Junghans, who resided in Mequon, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin.

1895 Wisconsin Census - Paul Richard Junghans

I finally found the 1895 Wisconsin census for my great grandfather, Paul Richard Junghans.




This census does not contain the names of the individuals living in the household, so it's limited in the information it provides.

It does indicate there were 3 males and 2 females in the household, as well as 3 US native born and 2 German born residents.

The 3 males would have been:

Paul Richard Junghans, sons William and Carl

I only know of the one female, Paul's wife Wilhelminia.

The 2 German born citizens would have been Paul and Wilhelminia.

2 of the 3 US born residents would have been William and Carl.

I have no idea who may have been the 2nd female in the household, possibly a relative or a servant.
