Hello, I am related to the Boxleiters from Dubuque and in my research I am finding very little about the Boxleiter family. I have come across the death dates on two of the family and am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction to get copies of their obituaries.
The first is JOHN BOXLEITER who died at his son's home on Julien Avenue (I believe his son to be George) on Jan 29 1860. Would there be somewhere I could get a copy of obituary? Would like to find out also where he was buried.
The second is CAROLINE BOXLEITER who died May 29, 1893, and is buried at Center Grove Cemetery. I would like to get a copy of her obituary also.
The third would be for GEORGE BOXLEITER. He died May 17, 1863, as a soldier in the Union Army at a battle at Black Bridge in Mississippi. He is buried in the Vicksburg Memorial now but I'm wondering if the family, at the time they were notified of his death, put an obituary in the newspaper or if the newspaper published a story about the loss of him and the others who were killed in action during that time.
I hope someone can respond to me and hopefully I can link up with someone who can either help me or give me the information I need to get copies.
Thank you.Marianne
