The Manitowoc Harold-Times Monday, August 28, 1933 (Son Anton Rohde preceded her in death in 1912; added by family member.) ********** (I would like to have entered on St. Casimir Church Cemetery page my great grand mother's name and dates. She was missed because she does not have a grave stone. She does have a sizeable stone pot. She buried between my Grandfather Anton and his Dad Martin Rohde. I know that St Casimir's Parish does not have any records on the buried in its cemetery. It took me a while to check the Geenbay diocese records which I did last September and found the following information; Her name is Maryanna (nee Melnik) Rohde, born April 1845/Died August 27, 1933. I also have pictures of her open grave at the site mentioned above. If more information or verification is needed please let me know. Sent in by family member/see contributors page)
