  1. Thank you for finding that!
    I had assumed that she, like I, had moved here; perhaps had married an Austrian man. The 21. April may be merely the date on which the telegram was sent. It is an unusual gravestone even by American standards — the Zöhrlauts must have had money. The state of Wisconsin is a bit like Schleswig-Holstein (flat,lots of dairy, coastline) and a Milwaukee had many beer breweries.
