• Notes

  Notes from Mary Giera for MARGARETHA "MAGGY" SCHILT: "Maggy came to America with Schilt family and her husband in 1852. "Foot Prints" Vol. 10 #2 says she died on her way to America and was buried at sea. If this is correct, then she went back to Switzerland and was coming to America again as some of her children were born in Illinois. I also have her buried in Haven Hill Cem, but cannot find her listed in the inscriptions.
