A Funeral and a Wedding

On March 4, 1923, Maria Eickemann Kramer — a former Ainsworthite — was reunited with her husband, Jacob Kramer, Sr.

On a happier note, we find sister Bertha Busse marrying George Smith — whose father, Sela Smith, had probably been born on the Smith farm southwest of Ainsworth. Mrs. Emil Scharbach was, as we know, sister Emma. Neither Bertha's father nor her sister Adeline lived to see this happy occasion.

Wonder if George Busse, who lived at 510 N Hobart road was related.... I have an air compressor that he gave the the Sappers at 500 N next door.
In the same column, just above, we see a visit from from Hobart Tasmania. I took a picture of Mayor Calvin Green sitting next to the mayor of Hobart Tasmania at Brickie Bowl at a football game in the late 70s. It was published in the Hobart Gazette and I think one of the High School Yearbooks. I had no idea we had ever been visited before by anyone from "the Hobart on the other side of the world".

The Hobart on the other side of the world keeps clogging up my Ebay searches.

Maybe Paula or Rita at the museum would know about George Busse.
