There remain many questions about Barbara’s sister Margaretha and family.
Margaretha
As noted in chapter George and Margaretha (Kraus) Schuetz Family, apparently Margaretha died before the census was taken in 1876. Her husband, George, is listed as a widow in the 1880 US Census. However, no death or burial records were found for Margaretha (Kraus) Schuetz.
Anna Schuetz
Daughter Anna was enumerated in the 1876 Missouri Census, but was not found in later census records.
The 1880 US Census records were searched for an Anna Schuetz and all name variations that Ancestry.com provides and no persons were identified who fit our Anna Schuetz. Also. a search the Missouri Marriage database and did not identify any viable candidate brides. Apparently Anna Schuetz died after the 1876 census and before the 1880 US Census. However, no death or burial records were found for our Anna Schuetz.
There is an Anna B. Schuetz broken tombstone in the Peace Lutheran Cemetery. But, this is thought to be the grave of the first wife of Conrad Schuetz, Anna Barbara (Wiesel) Schuetz, who died after the 1876 Missouri Census and before the 1880 US Census.
George Schuetz
Searches for George Schuetz after the 1880 US Census have not been fruitful. What happened to George Schuetz?
- George apparently had land in the 1870 US Census, but in the 1880 US Census, George is listed as a farm worker and does not appear to own land.
- Other records such as wills and probates and church records could be searched.
- His daughter married in 1883 and moved to near St. Louis, Missouri. Possibly there are records yet to be found for George in the area where his daughter moved.
Barbara Schuetz
A search of Missouri marriage records found Margaretha’s daughter, Barbara Schuetz, had married Ernst Stanglein as is described in chapter Barbara (Schuetz) Stanglein (1862-1833).
