looking for MARARETHA MERSCH of Portage WI

Query by debbisimonis

Margaretha Mersch married first Ambrose Hummel. She later married James Moffitt Matthews. Looking for her grave, death info, etc.

Her daughters by her first husband were raised by the Simonis family in Portage WI. One of her daughters, Mary Ann, married one of the Simonis sons.

Family lore has it that Margaretha died shortly after the birth of her son by James M Matthews, named Mathias Matthews.

I know that Ambrose Hummel later married Margaretha's sister Johanna (Anna) Mersch who had lived with them for years, and they had a family.

Why did Margaretha leave? Why were her daughters taken in by the Simonis family and not live with their father and aunt/stepmother?

I have much family history to share to interested family members.....thanks.
