  Research Notes:

A mystery remains as to whether or not the person listed as living with the Ortlepps on the 1870 census is Elizabeth Koeppen. She would have had to have come to Wisconsin with her daughter Maria, or some time later. (note made 2008),

  Noted events in her life were:

• Census: June 11, 1870 Rantoul, Calumet Cty, Wisconsin. ?Listed As Ortlepp on the 1870 census, 1870.
