I know very little about my great grandfather, Wilhelm (changed to William)Francis Maurer.Was born Aug 13, 1869 in Germany.Came to America.Was one of 10 or 13 children.Parents and sibling's names and place of birth unknown.Resided in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, later worked in a coal yard or coal mine in Chicago.May have spent time in Braidwood, Illinois also.Married Nellie Bain, daughter of Scottish immigrants.William and Nellie Bain Maurer had 4 children
Clyde b. 1896
William b. 1906
Jean Wilhemina b. 1911
Helen b. 1913
All of the Maurers in our family have bad hearts and die young of heart attacks.William died March 17, 1917 in Chicago.One son died of heart attack when 32 yrs. old, another at 52 years old.My father died at age 46.
Sorry I do not know any more.Please let me know what you think.Thanks, Joey
