NOTES: (Ron Friedel - 1997) I have a copy of the "Final Account" of the assets and liabilities of Nicholaus Seurer and it shows that he died at St Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac and was buried in the Capuchin Cemetery, probably at Holy Cross in Mt Calvary, WI. 36
(Ron Friedel - 4/97) In 1874, Michael Seurer owned 80 acres in Section 4 of Forest Township. Later, another 80 adjoining acres were purchased and then Michael's sons Nicholas and Philip each farmed on their 80 acres. An old, brick home still stands on the corner of Log Tavern and Pit Roads. This is Michael's homesite. It may have been his home, or may have been built later by Philip. The J. Reiden home also still stands, about 1/4 east of here. Nicholas Seurer's house, which was between these two houses, no longer exists. 36
