I walked by the Goelz home on S. Clement Ave. with my sister and niece in June, and the owner Mr. Miller, sensing a "tour", came out.
I reminded him that I stopped by in the 1980s and gave him a picture of the home (c. 1878).
He told me he had the title packet that came with the property, dating back to c. 1850!

Too bad Ron Winkler didn't check with the owner while not doing any research on the Goelz property for his Town of Lake book.

Or was there some other purpose to mis-identifying the home since I heard Ron asked MPL to turn over my German Newspapers data to him & the Bay View Historical Soc. (A Deed of Gift agreement protects my work at MPL - although they'd be happy to ignore that, if possible.)

Civil War Gold Star veteran Adam Gölz (1845-1865), was a nephew to Georg Goelz (1820-1913) & cousin to Lorenz Goelz (1855-1937), who inspired naming of this tiniest of Milwaukee's tiny parks. Adam's father was also a Lorenz Goelz (1817-1887).
