Mequon Wisconsin plat map - 1948

By the time this 1948 plat map of Mequon, Wisconsin came out, Otto Junghans Jr's property has transferred to someone with the initials M.F. (unfortunately, not me).   The property of Otto's sister, Martha Dvonik (white arrow) was still in her possession.

Otto Junghans family

I had labeled this photo back in August 2007 but somehow the labeling was corrupted so I have no idea which of Otto and Hulda Junghans' children or grandchildren are depicted.






















If anyone knows, please let me know.

Otto Junghans obituary

Here is the obituary for Otto Junghans.















Otto was born September 2, 1861 in Germany and died June 16, 1931 in Mequon, Wisconsin.

While this obituary was limited in information, it did help me confirm I was on the right track when I was researching the family tree.    The two surviving brothers mentioned would have been my great grandfather, Paul Richard and their older brother Carl (who had changed the spelling of his last name to Yunghans).   Eldest brother Emil Yunghans had died two years earlier in 1929.

Otto Junghans

Returning back to the families of Otto Junghans, the brother of my great grandfather, Paul Richard Junghans.......

Here is a photo of Otto Junghans.

















































I'm not sure when this photo was taken, but based upon the previous photo I posted of Otto and two of his brothers, Carl and Paul Richard, my guess is that the photo was taken sometime in the late 1920's.
