Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Paul Junghans and family lived at a few locations while they were in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Upon Paul's arrival from Germany in 1886, until 1900 when Paul, wife Wilhelminia, and their children William, Carl, and Paul Jr moved to Pine Valley township, Clark County, Wisconsin, the following were addresses where they resided in Milwaukee:

467 4th Street: 1886 - 1887
696 Hubbard Street: 1887 - 1889
1173 5th Street: 1890 - 1895
1076 11th Street: 1896 - 1897
1059 2nd Street: 1897 - 1900

Here is a copy of the directory listing for 1889.



Here is a copy of the directory listing for 1890.



The last two addresses I obtained from microfilm of Milwaukee directories located at the archives at the library of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. (These same archives also confirmed the 1173 5th Street address for the year 1895.)

William and Carl Junghans

Here is a photo of Paul and Wilhelminia Junghans' first two children.

William was born September 7, 1887 and Carl was born January 7, 1889.



The photo did not have a date, but I'm guessing that this photo was taken probably toward the end of 1889 or early 1890. The Junghans family was still living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the time this photo was taken.

Census records indicated Paul and Wilhelminia had another child that had died prior to the June 1900 US federal census.

Taking into consideration their three surviving children through June 1900, the possibility of a pregnancy of this unknown child most likely had to have occurred from:

- October 1887 - December 1888
- February 1889 - November 1894
- September 1895 - June 1900

According to the Wisconsin Genealogy index, Milwaukee had the following documented births that fell into these time frames:

Alexander Junghans - January 13, 1899
Heinrich E Junghans - September 18, 1892

Milwaukee had the following documented deaths that occurred prior to June 1900:

- Emil Junghans died 12/15/1990

-three Junghans' deaths listed without a first name:

- June 1, 1892
- July 21, 1898
- July 24, 1899

I don't see the point in ordering these particular records, but I was curious as to who and when this child was born, but I'd guess that it was Heinrich Emil Junghans, born 9/18/1992.

German Reform Church - Milwaukee

The above map depicts the location of the German Reform Church at 497 4th Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Paul and Wilhelminia were married in 1886. (Ignore the arrow pointing to 487 4th Street.)



Below is a plat map that shows the church (again) and 467 4th Street where Paul resided at the time of his marriage.





The church where Paul and Wilhelminia were married in 1886 no longer exists. It is now a parking lot (photo below). It was also an overcast day when I took the photo in August 2007.




Initially I thought it was the church (below) but the owner of the property (along with a body shop next door) had a plat map. Based upon his information, I went to the Milwaukee downtown library for the above detailed maps.

The church that remains today is the St. John's Bohemian Parish which is across the street from where the German Reform Church used to be.
