- Abstract
-
I, Eugene was born on January 9, 1880, in Wisconsin. There is not a lot known about me other than census records and my burial location. You see, I never married or had children, so I was soon forgotten after I died. When I was 4 months, I lived in Mount Pleasant Township in Racine with my mother Johanna. She was born in Wisconsin and my father; John, was born in Germany.
When I was 20, I lived at 7399 Brand Ave, Mount Pleasant Township, Racine Wisconsin. I was single and worked as a fireman with the railroad. When I was 25, I lived in the 4th Precinct 23 Ward Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was still single, and I still worked as a fireman. When I was 30, my father died at age 69. I lived at 394 27th Ave Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I was working as an Engineer and I was still single. When I was 40 years old, I moved to 340-54 Florida St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was a laborer for the railroad. After working for so long at the railroad, I ended up contracting tuberculosis and died on October 7, 1923, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was buried at the Milwaukee Poor Farm plot number 45, due to me not having enough money to pay for a respectable burial. All I ask for is to rest in peace, undisturbed. Thank you. - Note
