Narrative

Note: Researching August Charles Schnitzka Jr.

So far in my research, it appears that August was the only one of his siblings to change the spelling of his last name - this may well have been to end some of the confusion of the last syllable's vowel, as I imagine it was quite common for people to make the mistake of pronouncing the vowel as a long "e."

According to his WWI draft registration card, August was single and had enlisted in the Army; on his WWII draft registration, he notes that he is "100 percent disabled from World War No.1." I've been unable to find a marriage record for August and Esther, though her death index record gives her name as Esther Nelson Schnitzka, suggesting her maiden name. I suspect they were married well after WWI, as their first child wasn't born until 1924.

I've found limited residence records for August and his family, as well - I have been unable to find him in the 1920 US Census, and this may well be because he was injured in the war and might have been resident in some medical facility. There seem to be several women of the appropriate age range named Esther Nelson from Wisconsin in that time period, but I haven't specifically found earlier residences for the correct one yet. The only family residence I've found so far is for the 1930 US Census.

So far as burial listings, I've found August, Esther, Lorraine, and Audrey. James has a plot and shared stone (with sister Audrey and mother Esther) in Saint Joseph Cemetery in Waukesha, Waukesha Cty, Wisconsin, though it should be noted that his inscription bears no death date, suggesting that he is still alive, at least at the time of the photo and listing on the FindaGrave.com website. Lorraine is buried in the same cemetery under her married name (Sturgeon). August is in Wood National Cemetery in Milwaukee, Milwaukee Cty, Wisconsin.
