Descendants of Anton Gbur

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  ANTON3 GBUR  (JAN IGNATZ2, SZYMON1)1 was born December 06, 1843 in Pottlitz, Kreis Flatow, West Prussia, Kingdom of Prussia2,3, and died August 31, 1918 in Sigel, Wood Co., WI4.  He married (1) MARIANNA JAGODZINSKI November 20, 1870 in St. Stanislaus  Church, Milwaukee, Milwaukee Co., WI, daughter of WOJCIECH JAGODZINSKI and ROZALIA WALOCH.  She was born November 04, 1852 in Hungerwerder, Kreis Wirsitz, Posen, Kingdom of Prussia5, and died 1885 in Sigel, Wood Co., WI.  He married (2) MARTHA BUDZINSKI February 22, 1886 in Sigel, Wood Co., WI6, daughter of STEPHAN BUDZINSKI and MARY.  She was born Abt. 1866 in Europe7, and died Unknown in America.

 

Notes for ANTON GBUR:

Born in Potulice (Pottlitz), West Prussia on 10 December 1843, baptized on 17 December 1843 at

Zakrzewo.

 

     "Anton Gbur, 25 yrs. old, a bricklayer from Prussia", left Europe from Bremen, Germany on the steamship "America" under Master Georg Ernst, arriving in New York on 18 June 1869 (Filby's "Germans to America" Vol. 23).  This time frame is verified by 1900 census information.  The age of 25 yrs. also matches the birth date of 1843 given on his death record. He was the only passenger named Gbur (var. spellings were also checked) aboard the ship, or in this time frame.  The original ship's manifest lists him as passenger 250 and as

not having a cabin.

     Anton arrived in Milwaukee, WI prior to November 1870, where he married Marianna Jagodzinski.

Witnesses at the wedding were Antonius Olszowni and Josephs Müdlew.  In 1879 Anton and family were living at 639 Grove Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The family continued to reside at this address until at least June of 1882 when their son John was born*.  By May 1884 Anton was living at Sigel, Wood Co., Wisconsin.  On his marriage record from 1886, Anton names his parents as John Gbur and Eva Valenta.  The church record for Anton's marriage to Martha Budzinski (misspelled as Dudzinska) notes that Anton is the widower of Marianna Jagodzinski.  This record also records Anton's place of birth as "Potulice Borusia".  Potulice is the Polish spelling of "Pottlitz", a city located in Kreis (County) Flatow in the Province of West Prussia.  Kreis Flatow was later part of Pomerania, and is presently "Zlotow" in Poland.

      At some point in time (after 1885) Anton changed the spelling of the family name from "Gbur" to Gabur".

 

*The 1881 Holy Rosary parish map shows that A. Gbur owned land southeast of Vesper at that time.

 

Notes from Henry Zaeger, an 84 year old former farmer from Sigel Township who owned land near the

Gabur place and knew Anton (Sr) and his children.  Lives at 620 17th Avenue South in Wisconsin Rapids.

He was mainly a friend of Frank Gabur, son of Anton, and knew the other kids as well (Sophie, Alex, Theodore and Rosy).  Recalled the dances and parties at the Gabur place.  Old "Grandpa Gabur" with his beard and long johns.  Believes the old farmhouse is intact, but remodeled.  Was a pallbearer at Anton's funeral, held at Holy Rosary church, Sigel, with burial in the church cemetery.  Possibly no headstone.

His wife believes the death was within two years of their (the Zaeger's) marriage .

Note:  There is a marriage recorded in Portage County, Wisconsin on 23 April 1888 for Anthony Gabur and Frances Solarik.  This Anthony Gabur is probably not related to our line, he was born in Szosnarowa, Poland, the son of John Gabur and Anna Banas.  There were several Gbur, Gebur, Gäber and Gaber families in Chicago and Milwaukee in the late 1880's, they originated in Poland, Germany, Austria, Lithuania and Austria.

Immigration: June 18, 1869, Arrived in New York aboard the "America"

 

Notes for MARIANNA JAGODZINSKI:

Baptized at Hungerwerder, Kreis Wirsitz, Posen, Kingdom of Prussia on 5 November 1852.  Sponsors at baptism were uncle Franciscus (latinized form of Franciszek) and Marianna Walloch.  In

the Holy Rosary Cemetery in Sigel, WI there are graves for Franciszek Walloch and Marianna Walloch (1828-1918).

     Marianna was the first wife of Anton Gabur.  She arrived in America on 8 May 1869 aboard the "SS Berlin" with her mother and several siblings.  The Berlin sailed from Bremen to Hamburg.  According to the 1880 Federal Census for Wisconsin, Milwaukee Co., Marianna was 25 years old, which would mean she was born 1854 or 1855.  The census lists her place of birth as Poland.  The birth record for John Gebur, Milwaukee County Vol. 29, shows Marianna's name as Mary Jogodzinska* of West Prussia.  The address for this birth was 639 Grove St., the residence of Anton Gbur (Milw. City directory 1879).  Marianna's brother John Jagodzinski was a witness at Anton Gabur's (Sr) marriage to Martha Budzinski in 1886.  The name Jagodzinska also appears as the mother of Helene Gbur on Helene's marriage record in 1905.

 

 

* In many east european countries a feminin suffix was added to surnames.  Jagodzinska is the feminin

form of Jagodzinski.  This practice was usually discontinued when people immigrated to America.

 

Notes for MARTHA BUDZINSKI:

Arrived in America 1885.  She was the second wife of Anton Gabur (Sr.).  In the 1900 census she

says she was the mother of seven children, four of them living.  The other three children, apparently

no longer living, may have been from a previous marriage in Poland. Martha definately brought several children from her prior marriage into her marriage with Anton Gabur.  These children may have been

Clara (died 1891 in Sigel) and Frank (died 1895 in Sigel).

     In the 1910 census for Sigel, Wood Co., Wisconsin she is shown as being 44 years old, 22 years younger than Anton.  This would put her birth in 1865 of 1866.  This census shows Martha as the mother of 11 children, 6 living.  The 1900 census says she was born in Poland/Germany in 1867.

In 1918 (at the time of her father's death) Rose Conway lived in Minneapolis at 609 9th St. South.

The 1930 City Directory show a Rose B. Conway, telephone operator, living at 3432 17th Ave. South.

This is probably not the same Rose Conway, as Rose was not listed as living in 1925 when her Brother Edward's estate was probated.  The name Rosalie is from the Holy Rosary Church records, the name appears in other references as Rose, Rosa and Rosie.

Edward Gabur died in Norwood Park township, Cook County, IL on 20 November 1925 at the age of 18.  His body was brought back to Wood County and his estate was probated there.  Probate records show the town of Sigel as his legal residence at the time of death.  Edward's brother Alex was the administator

of his estate, which consisted of the property "North-West Quarter of the North-East Quarter of Section No. 29 in Township No. 23 North of Range No. Five East, Wood County, Wisconsin."  The only surviving siblings at this time were Alex Gabur, Sophie Chapman and Frank Gabur.

 

 

Generation No. 2

 

2.  ANTON WILHELM4 GABUR (ANTON3 GBUR, JAN IGNATZ2, SZYMON1) was born April 10, 1879 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee Co., WI23, and died December 02, 1923 in Nekoosa, Wood Co., WI24,25.  He married MARTHA WAYERSKI Abt. 1899 in Wisconsin26, daughter of JOHN WAYERSKI and MARY WOJEWODKA.  She was born March 06, 1885 in Junction City, Portage Co., WI27,28, and died August 27, 1970 in Port Edwards, Wood Co., WI29,30,31.

 

Notes for ANTON WILHELM GABUR:

According to the records at St. Stanislaus Church, Anton Gwilhelm Gbur was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 10 April 1879 and baptized there on the 13th.  The godparents at his baptism were his maternal grandmother, Rozalie (Waloch) Jagodzinski and Walenty Daszkowski.  He was later called Anton Wilhelm Gbur, so he apparently altered the original spelling of "Gwilhelm".  His family came to Sigel, Wisconsin (Wood Co.) prior to his father's second marriage in 1886.   In 1900 Anton was living

in Nekoosa, Wisconsin with his wife Martha.  By this time he was spelling his name "Gabur" instead of "Gbur".  Their eldest child, Frank Edward Gabur, was born in Ashland, Wisconsin in 1901.  Several children were then born in Shanagolden, Wisconsin (Ashland Co.) where Anton worked at a lumber yard.  Anton died in Nekoosa on 2 December 1923 and was buried December 5th in the Sacred Heart Cemetery

there (Section C-3).  His death record shows his age at death as 44 years, 7 months and 26 days.  This varies slightly with the recorded day of April 10th.

 

1900 Federal Census for Wisconsin, Wood Co., Town of Nekoosa

   Anton Gabur, 21, born April 1879 in Wisconsin, married one year.

   Martha Gabur, age 15, born March 1885 in Wisconsin, married one year.

Obituary for Anton Gabur

---------------------------------------

Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, 3 December 1923

 

Anthony Gabur, 20 Years a Nekoosa Resident, Dies

 

     Anthony Gabur, 45, passed away at his home in Nekoosa after a lingering illness of dropsy,

yesterday morning.

     Mr. Gabur had been a resident of Nekoosa for about 20 years and was a carpenter by trade.  He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and seven children, all of which are at home.  Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at the Catholic Church, the Rev. Joseph Feldman officiating.  Interment will be made at the Riverside cemetery. (Provided by Joan C. Bille, Madison, WI)

 

 

 

 

Notes for MARTHA WAYERSKI:

Martha was the first child of John Wayerski to be born in the United States.  In Martha's obituary,

her mother was not mentioned by name, but she would have been Mary Wojewodka, the first wife of John Wayerski.

     John Wayerski is shown in the 1885 and 1895 census for Carson Township, but again, his wife is

not mentioned by name.  On Martha's death record her mother is listed as "Mary Ann Woods".  The informant for this information was Martha's third husband, William Wilke.  On Martha's marriage record for her 2nd marriage (John Wirth) her mother again appears as "Mariae Woods".  In a family tree chart

by Robert Gaber, the name "Mary Woods" again appears as the mother of Martha Wayerski.  John Wayerski was indeed married and had children before he left Poland (or Germany) for America.  Mary's

maiden name is shown as "Wojewodka" by her son Frank at the time of his marriage.  The name Wojewodka was apparently "Americanized" to Woods by the family at some time.  The obituary for Constance Wayerski also gives very conclusive evidence that Helen Wayerski (Mrs. Leo Borski) is

the only child born to her with John Wayerski.

     According to the 1900 census for the Town of Nekoosa, Wood Co., Wisconsin, Anton Gabur (21) and Martha Gabur (15) were married one year at the time of the census.  The marriage record is not on file in Wood County.

     Between the births of sons Raymond and Leonard Martha had a stillborn daughter.  At this time she was suffering from smallpox.

     In the 1930 Nekoosa City Directory, Martha and husband John Wirth are listed as residing on Simmet

Street with son Raymond Gaber.

Notes for FRANCIS "FRANK" JOSEPH GABUR:

Information from Social Security account application for Frank Joseph Gabur

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------

Name:            Frank Joseph Gaber

Address:        521 No. (--) St., Fort Atkinson, WI

Employer:      Virgan Marten, 522 Adam St., Fort Atkinson, WI

Date of birth:  16 March 1897, Sigel, Wood Co., WI

Father:            Antony Gaber

Mother:           Martha Stublaski

 

On the application Frank gave his date of birth as 16 March 1897.  The Social Security Death Index

(Family Tree Maker CR-Rom #110) lists his date of birth as 16 March 1895.  Frank used the "Gaber" spelling of the name at this time.  His mother should be listed as Martha Budzinski.  The name Stublaski appears to be an error by Frank.  His brother Alexander listed their mother as Martha Polaski.

 

Frank was listed as 4 years old in the 1900 census, 10 in the 1905 census and 15 in the 1910 census.

Until further proof is found I will go with the year of birth as 1895, which is also the year on record with the Social Security Administration.

 

There is a grave for Frank Gbur (died 1895) in the Holy Rosary Cemetery in Sigel, WI.  There is a possibility a first child named Frank was born and died in 1895, the next son born was then also given the name Frank or Francis.  Records from the Holy Rosary Church can probably clarify this.

Notes for ALEXANDER BENEDICT GABUR:

Birth was registered delayed, on 30 January 1942.  He was baptized on 14 May 1924 at St. Michael's

church in Junction City, Wisconsin.  Alexander used the "Gabur" spelling all his life.  He had two daughters but no sons, so the name "Gabur" probably died out with the passing of Alexander.
