He died there in 1900.

The Suesses

Ok, follow me on this one....

There was a man named Andrew Suess who was married to Elizabeth Wurtzberger. They had 5 children: Joseph, Mary, Frank, Kattie and George....in Brown Co. Mn.

And, there was a man named John Hesch who was married to Katie Mueller. They had five children, also: Mary, Agnes, Paul, Laura and John...in Buckman, Mn.

Then, Elizabeth (Wurtzberger) Suess died, and John Hesch died.

Widower Andrew Suess, in 1927, married widow Katie (Mueller) Hesch.

Ok, so far? Not too confusing--happens all the time, right? Blended families and all that....

But then, Katie's daughter Agnes married Andrew's son Joseph....who WE know as Aggie and Joe Suess. Their daughter Joan (Suess) Gilles had a daughter they named Susan.

And THAT's our Sue!
