Narrative

Note: The marriages of Agnes Schnitzke

Agnes appears to have married twice - first to Alexander Rivenburgh (who was nearly thirty years older than Agnes) sometime between 1905 (when the Wisconsin State Census notes her living with her parents, unmarried) and 1910, at which point she and Alexander were living in Dodds Twp, Jefferson Cty, Illinois. I have not found any confirmed record for Alexander outside of the 1910 US Census record for his household with Agnes.

There has so far been a large gap in the records for Agnes, as the next record I've found for her is the 1930 US Census listing for her mother's household in Waukesha, Waukesha Cty, Wisconsin, where she's named the widow Agnes Rivenburgh. At some point between 1930 and 1940, she remarried to South-Dakota-born Harry Jewett, as the two of them (along with Agnes' mother, Augusta) were living in Mukwonago, Waukesha Cty, Wisconsin in the 1940 US Census.

Harry appears to have been married at least once and possibly twice prior to his marriage to Agnes. He was born in 1889, died in 1955, and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Waterloo, Jefferson Cty, Wisconsin next to his first wife Edna. (Their stones are inscribed "Father" and "Mother," and they had at least one child together.) As a young boy, Harry had lived in nearby Dane Cty, Wisconsin with his parents, and in the 1920 US Census he was living in York Twp, Dane Cty, Wisconsin with Edna and their seven-year-old daughter Marjorie. Edna died in 1922; in the 1930 US Census, Harry appeared to be living with his second wife Ruth (born in Illinois) and a five-year-old son Louis in Rock, Rock Cty, Wisconsin. It's presumed that Louis was a son of Harry and Ruth, as he was too young to have been born to Edna, though I've not confirmed this. I don't know how Harry's second marriage ended, as I've found no burial record for Ruth and have not yet searched for death information for her. By 1940, as noted above, Harry was married to Agnes and living in Mukwonago. I've not confirmed whether Agnes and Harry remained married until his death in 1955, or whether they divorced sometime after 1940.

I have not found any information to indicate that Agnes had any children during her marriages.
