Narrative

Note: Researching Theodore Wendt and family

In the 1910 and 1920 Census records, Theodore is living with his wife (Martha) and son (Walter, born ca 1909), in Oconomowoc, WI. By the time of the 1930 Census, Walter was living with his wife (Edith, five years his junior) in Oconomowoc. Walter appears to be the only child of Theodor and Martha, and I have not yet found record of either Walter or Edith past the 1930 Census.

ADDENDUM: In Theodore's obituary in the Oconomowoc Enterprise, dated 8 Mar 1962, his daughter in law is named Mrs. Margaret Wendt, of Milwaukee, and is a surviving relative along with two unnamed grandchildren of Theodore's. His son, Walter, is named as preceding him in death, but with no date given.

I have not yet determined the details of Walter's marriage or death as of yet, but he does appear to be the only child of parents Theodore and Martha. As mentioned above, there is a 1930 US Census listing for a Walter and Edith Wendt (age 21 and 16, respectively) living in Oconomowoc, on the same sheet and in the household immediately following the listing for Theodore and Martha's household. In the 1940 US Census, in Summit, Waukesha Cty, Wisconsin is listed the household for Walter C. and Margaret B. Wendt, both Wisconsin-born and both aged 32.

On the WWII draft registration card for Theodore, he gives his son's name as his family contact, and notes Walter as a resident of the Town of Okauchee (within Oconomowoc), Waukesha Cty, Wisconsin. This latter would indicate that Walter was alive as of 1942, but must have died prior to 1962. His mother's obituary in 1958 may help clarify Walter's details.
