Good day, I am a big baseball fan. As I was looking up baseball teams in Wisconsin in the 1940 and 1950’s I came across your July 2005 newsletter article on the Eagle Enforcers. The name in the Article that stood out the most was Roger Thomas. I was wondering if anyone would know more about him, I am trying to find out if that is my grandfather or not. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
Kevin Zimdars
Roger Thomas was born Jan. 30, 1914 and died Mar. 11, 1992. He lived on a dairy farm in Eagle with his wife Betty Thomas. One of her children was Sue (Gordon) Zimbars. Is that your family?
Yes that is my family. Thanks alot for your help. I am a history buff, I have been at your Ice Cream social the last 3 years now in Civil War Costume. I also have a love for baseball as did my grandfather, and am interested in starting a vintage baseball team. I would like to model it after the eagle team, is there any information on the history of the team I could get?
Thanks, Kevin
P.S. My mother Sue passed away Jan 3, 2008.
I was researching my wife’s family tree and found in the 1850 federal census and the 1855 state census her GGG Grandfather, Joseph Hewes, who moved to Eagle in 1849. Joseph’s daughter, Frances, married Peter Tymeson in 1853.
Do any Tymesons or Hewes still live in the Eagle area?
Thanks for any info you can pass along.
Joseph’s last name is actually Hews
I am trying to find out some information on a H.W. Ware or it could be H.M Mare from Eagle & a Martha Deiter from Richwood, Wisconsin.
They were married on Nov. 17, 1901 in Richwood.
Does anyone know anything about either of these 2 people?
Thanks,
Elizabeth Sellers
Hi Elizabeth,
I’m not sure if this will help your search, but the only information I found is from the obituary index of the Waukesha Freeman 1859-1920. It lists
Ware, Elizabeth Miss, Wauklesha 06/09/1910, Page 8 Column C
Ware, Norman 08/17/1911 Page 1 Column 3
Ware, Silas 02/21/1895 Page `1 Column 3
