1870 Census - Lincoln, Kewaunee, Wisconsin


1880 Census - Lincoln, Kewaunee, Wisconsin


1895 Lincoln Township Land Owners - Sylvie and Frank may have owned one of the highlighted plots, or by this time, perhaps one or more of their sons owned land.  Based on other named near them on the censuses, I think they owned one of the plots in the Western area of the township.


Sylvie died on 10 Feb 1898 in Lincoln, Kewaunee, Wisconsin.  She died of dropsy (edema) and heart disease.
