Notes - Hi from the mild Midwest!(I had to rub it in!!) OK, well from the mild Midwest!(I had to rub it in!!) OK, well, I have a TON of information for you. First, I'll type in the two obits for Peter and Barbara Kirsch, and then I'll send you the rest of it . Please be patient. My typing skills leave a lot to be desired!! The first obit is for George Peter Kirsch, who passed away on 05-25-1896. This appeared on page 3 of the Muscatine Journal: Death's Summons Old settlers will learn with regret of the death of George Peter Kirsch, which occurred yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Brown, No 213 East Sixth Street. Deceased had been in failing health for a long time and death came as a welcome messenger to relieve all earthly sufferings. Mr. Kirsch was born in Mauer ,Baden Baden, Germany, May 23,1814. When 36 years of age, he left the Fatherland for the country of his adoption, and after three years spent in the Keystone State, he came to Iowa in 1851, since which date his residence in this community has been continuous. He was an honest and industrious citizen and a member of the German Evangelical Church of this city. His death is mourned by two sons and one daughter, Casper, of St. Louis, and Phillip and Mrs. H. Brown of this city. Grand children and great grandchildren also grieve over the old man's demise. The funeral is appointed to take place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of his daughter.
The obit for Barbara Kirsch is quite a bit smaller, but I may have to continue it on another e-mail.

She leaves a husband, and two sons, Phillip and Casper, and a daughter Mrs. Henry Brown. Funeral ceremony from the family residence, Friday, March 23, at 3 p.m. Okay.
