Moeglein Genealogy 

3. JOHN GEORGE FREDERICK "GEORGE F." MOEGLEIN (JOSEPH1) was born 22 May, 1855 in Madison, Dane Co., Wisconsin, and died 19 Feb, 1930 in Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minnesota. George established the Moeglein Market on First St. SE, Little Falls, in 1883. He operated this business until 1921, when he turned it over to his sons Charlie and F. George. In 1923, he became president of the Merchant's State Bank, until 1925. Even with these busy careers and raising six children, George found time for politics. He was elected Alderman of the First Ward, and served that post for 20 years. He then served as mayor of Little Falls from 1907 to 1912. In 1915 he was mentioned as being vice-president of the city council. He was Alderman-at-Large for Little Falls the last 16 years of his life. He married CHRISTINE WILHELMINE SCHMIDT 4 Mar, 1878 in Monroe, Green Co., Wisconsin. (Later newspaper articles give the date as 5 Mar 1877/8, but the parish records verify that it was the 4th.) In the marriage record, George was mentioned as being a teacher. Christine was born in Koblenz, Germany on 27 Sep 1852. Which Koblenz it was is still uncertain as there are three towns in Germany by that name, and one called Koblentz. Unsuccessful research has been focused on Coblenz-am-Rhein, near Frankfurt. This 'Coblenz' was always spelled with a K by the Germans, with the exception of a brief period of time around the turn of the century, according to Meyer's Orts gazetteer. This spelling irregularity may be a cause of confusion as the others were always spelled with a K in Germany. Census records point toward one of the towns near the Polish border. She was noted as coming from Prussia in the 1870 census, then just Germany in the rest, until 1920, when she is said to be from Berlin. She landed in New York 13 Jul 1867, aboard the ship Hermann from Bremen. She died in Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minnesota on 1 Dec, 1934. She was the daughter of Philip Schmidt and Marie Susanna ______.
Children of GEORGE MOEGLEIN and CHRISTINE SCHMIDT are:
8.      i. GEORGE JOSEPH MICHAEL MOEGLEIN, b. 30 Jan 1879, Madison, Dane Co., Wisconsin; d. 9 Jan, 1934,
                St. Paul, Ramsey Co., Minnesota.
         ii. MARY FRANCES MOEGLEIN, b. Nov 1879, Madison, Dane Co., Wisconsin. (Her age was given as eight
                months, not three, in the 1880 census...she could not have been born in March of 1880, five months before
                her brother. Alice Piret noted that Frances "the youngest child" died at age four. No baptism or burial
                records have been found for Frances in Madison, Richland Center or Little Falls, however, the family moved
                many times, and should either birth or death have occured en route, the records would be found in those
                towns in which the baptism and death occured.  It has been questioned whether she was really a Moeglein
                or perhaps a neighbor child being watched by the Moegleins at census time. and are Mary and Frances two
                different girls?)

4. JOSEPH ERNEST MOEGLEIN [MAGLEIN] (JOSEPH1) was born 6 Sep, 1863 in Madison, Dane Co., Wisconsin, and died 29 Dec, 1943 in Duluth, St. Louis Co., Minnesota. He married JOSEPHINE MARTIN 8 Mar, 1888 in Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minnesota. Joseph changed his name to MAGLEIN to more closely approximate the original pronunciation. Soon after marrying Josephine, he moved to Spokane, Washington, but returned to Dane county, WI soon after. He apparently moved to Minnesota where tradition states he worked with his brother George in his meat market, but was in Everett, Snohomish county, Washington by 1895. He was still living there in 1902, when he was listed in the Everett city directory as a butcher, living at 1916 Wall. For many years following, he was a miner in Dawson City and Fairbanks, Alaska. He finally settled in Duluth about 1929. He was listed as a farmer in the Duluth city directories. When Joseph went to Alaska in 1902 he took with him his oldest son, Bert, and left his family in Everett. Josephine apparently became ill and couldn't care for her younger children and left them in the care of the children's home until she got better. In the meantime, they were adopted to three other families. Though we've found no record of divorce from Joseph, and no subsequent marriage, Josephine was later known as Mrs. Henry Burtenshaw. She was born 7 Apr 1866 in Winona, Minnesota, and died 3 Jul 1912 in Bellingham, Whatcom county, Washington.
Children of JOSEPH MAGLEIN and JOSEPHINE MARTIN are:
       i. ALBERT WILLIAM "BERT" MAGLEIN, b. 10 Dec, 1888, Spokane, Washington; died 11 Jul, 1981, Duluth, St. Paul
            Co., Minnesota. Albert worked for the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway Co., and was active in several
            local lodges. He was never married and had no children.
      ii. REUBEN RAYMOND CLODE, b. 17 Sep, 1891 in Minnesota; d. 14 Jul, 1916 near Ft. Shaw, Cascade county, Montana. Reuben
            was adopted by Alfred J. Clode. When he got older, he moved to Ft. Shaw, MT, which is where his mother's father, Joshua Martin,
            was living. He died of tuberculosis while working on a ranch.
     iii. JOSEPH EDMOND (ED) CURREY, b. 22 Apr, 1893, Brainard, Minnesota; d. 1 Mar, 1931, Sacramento, California. Adopted by
            Benjamin and Hannah Currey of Thurston county, WA (area of Olympia) in 1903. He served in WWI in Georgia and Kentucky.
            While in Kentucky he met his future wife, Irene Madyline VezOlles. They returned to Thurston county where they lived until 1924,
            when Ed moved to Sacramento to help a senator. They settled there, and Ed eventually worked for the Department of Agriculture
            as a potato specialist which took him to Idaho. He returned to Sacramento in late 1930 or 1931 and soon after caught scarlet fever.
            Ed was a graduate of Oregon State University. Ed and Irene were married 1 Jan 1919 in Louuisville, Kentucky

            Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mickens of Puyallup, Washington.  Paul graduated from Washington State College in 1925 and
            became a pharmacist, retiring from that occupation in 1966.  He was married twice.  By his first wife he had a son,
            Paul Montgomery Mickens.  He was remarried in 1937 to FRANCES ELIZABETH GARRED, by whom he had three daughters
            (still living).  Frances was born 15 Nov, 1905, and died in Tacoma 1 Jun, 1995.
