Russell F. Heinkel was born to Hilton E. Heinkel (1908-1952) and Margaret Marie ROHR (1907-1981). I only know of one brother for Russ - Kenneth Earl Heinkel (1932-1973).

Russ and Goldie Louise BEEBE were married September 16, 1950 in Saginaw, Saginaw County, Michigan. They did not have any children, but had dogs that they loved like they were children.

Uncle Russ worked as a switchman for Michigan Bell Telephone in Saginaw, Michigan.

We don't know what project Joseph worked on but this is a little history of the WPA Project in Manitowoc County.

1935 to 1943: Works Progress Administration, later known as the Works Projects Administration (WPA), employed local workforce to help workers and the economy during the depression.
1937: 280 acres acquired for what would become Point Beach State Forest. This included 80 acres of surplus land from the lighthouse donated by the U.S. Government.
1938: Manitowoc County Board appropriated $9,500 for land purchases north of Two Rivers for transfer to the state to develop into a park. The State of Wisconsin, along with Manitowoc County and the City of Two Rivers, purchased an additional 724 acres.
1939: WPA began work on road construction and developing a forest lodge. The lumber came from this forest and shakes came from the Lake Elba prison camp at Rhinelander. Rip-rap came from the Jambo Creek area. Tree planting also began this year with 475,000 trees planted, mostly red pine but also 5,000 white pine and 2,000 spruces.
1940: The administration building was completed.

While coming over to America by boat when she was less than a year old, Wilhelmine Boell ran a high fever. If the ship's medic or doctor thought any one had a communicable disease, the person would be thrown overboard to prevent the spread of the disease to others. Her parents obtained some ice from the ship's mess (kitchen) to pack in her crib to keep her temperature down and thus prevented Wilhelmine from running a fever with the ominous consequence.

Will Co., IL

WERNER, Franziska (I4259)

1450

Will initially settled in the Chicago area and lived with his uncle where he was employed in a machine shop. Will subsequently moved to Joliet, Illinois and then Mokena, Illinois. The various news articles published at the time of their respective deat hs give different Illinois locations for their marriage: McKinney, Joliet and Mokena. They later moved to Carroll County, Iowa where they purchased a farm. The family appeared on the 1880 Grant, Carroll, Iowa Federal Census pg 6 family 57. In 1881, they moved to Pierce, Nebraska where they purchased a farm that was their home for 27 years until 1908.

They retired in the community of Pierce.

From Will's obit Deceased was possessed of that rugged character and spirit that made up the pioneers who developed a new country. He came here in 1881 and experienced the rigors and hardships of those early years. He was progressive and took a great interest in the affairs of state and community. He was loved for his friendliness and interest in his neighbor and fellow man. He was a Christian all of his life, being a member of the Lutheran faith. He was the oldest member of the Zion Lutheran Church at Pierce and faithful at tendant at all services of that congregation.

Marie and Will were considered pioneers in the settlement of the Pierce area. A picture of them, as well as the baptismal gown worn by their children at their baptism is on display at the Pierce Museum.

Schafkopt

Whenever there was a gathering of the Will and Marie Sporleder family for a birthday or holiday, the men usually passed the time playing card games. As a young child, Verna Sporleder Weber recalls the card game called "Schafkopt ." "Schaft" is the German word for sheep while the German word for head is "Kopt."

Verna remembers that Grandpa Will Sporleder's self-appointed task was to draw a sheep's head complete with curved horns with lines through them. As the game progressed, the lines were filled in and each mark had its own meaning as way of keeping score.
