SOPHIE LIPPERT cemetery #40 From Der Nord Westen, 31 Dec. 1908: Death Sunday in Liberty, from old age debility, of 78-year old Mrs. Sophie Lippert, widow of the late John Lippert. The deceased was counted among the original settlers of Town Liberty where she had lived for 53 years. She is survived by 7 children. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon. ********* from researcher/see contributors page: Her maiden name is Genz Headstones for Trinity Lutheran, Liberty are being put on Findagrave.com. Headstone pic for Sophia is not clear and hard to read, but from what I can make out, she was born 1830 and died 26 Dec 1908. ********* from another researcher/see contributors page/willing to share: Sophia Magdalena Genz Lippert was born on 17 February, 1831 and died 26 December, 1908. This information comes directly off of her death certificate, volume 9 page 543, Manitowoc County. In addition, I have a copy of her traveling papers from her pastor in Germany which clearly give the birth date as 17 February, 1831, along with her baptismal and confirmation information. Sophia was born in Strietfeld, Mecklenbrug-Schwerin, according to this paperwork. I also have a copy of paperwork showing she was adopted by Arietfelo Helmuth and Maria Ernestine Catherine (Schwarz) Genz on 4 March, 1833. Family stories that have been passed down relate that she was known to tell people that she was the daughter of royalty and even had a basket of food packed for her by the castle, when she left for America. I have not been able to prove or disprove this. However, the guardianship/adoption papers do allow for some inkling that she may have been the by-blow of some royalty. She was adopted out of a German convent at Malchow.

JOHAN LISSACK cemetery #83 From Der Nord Westen, 02 Dec. 1909: Johann Lisack has died from a stroke at an advanced age at the home of his daughter, Theresia, in Kiel. The deceased came to Kiel in 1860 as a man without means, and by dint of hard work on a 120 acre farm near Kiel, became wealthy. About 12 years ago he turned the farm over to his son and from then on his once happy destiny turned almost insufferable. First, his wife fell ill and died three years later in unspeakable pain, then his son squandered away the once valuable farm, left his wife, and disappeared. The broken old man had only $3,000 left of his once substantial fortune, and this shortly disappeared with Theodor Kerstens Bank in Chilton. The only bright spot was the goodness of his daughter Theresia who took care of the old gentleman until the end.
