Joseph Noe was born in Wurttenberg, Germany circa 1798. His wife's name was Cresentia (sp) and the couple had four children born in Germany: Sebastian; Charles; John; and William. The family immigrated to the United States in 1847 and settled on a farm in Nekimi Township, Winnebago County, Wisconsin and owned 80 acres in Section 11. By 1860 four more children had been born in Wisconsin: Joseph; Wilhelmena; Cresentia (Catherine); and Mary. Two of his sons, John and Charles, joined Company F, 19th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. A letter from Charles is also in the collection. By 1870, Joseph and his wife were living in Oshkosh with their son Charles and his wife and daughter. Cresentia died April 4, 1883. There is no death record for Joseph, but he does not appear in the 1880 US Census. |
