WILHELM TAGGE


Wilhelm Tagge


Anna (Rumpff) Tagge

(Note about Christina Rumpff: On her death record, she is 
shown as “Annie Rumpf Tagge” but, on her marriage record, 
she is shown as “Christine Rumpff”.  I do not know why the 
names are different – but the person is the same.  She is 
buried at Louis Corners under the name “Christiane”.

Learn Of Death At Watertown
New Holstein—Many people were surprised to hear of the 
death of August Tanck, who passed away at his home in 
Watertown last month.  Mr. Tanck will be remembered by 
many of the older residents of New Holstein and vicinity, 
having made his home here for a number of years.  He was 
employed at the Puchner store and also at the Griem store. 
He was married to Miss Emma Schott of this village and 
the couple resided here for about two years, Mr. Tanck 
returning to Watertown shortly after the death of his wife 
and infant daughter. Several years later he was married to 
Mrs. Clara Otto of Watertown, who with a daughter in Kansas 
City, survives him.
