Willhelm Articles From Google Newspapers

Google announced it was bringing back its news archives. Perhaps you heard me hollering for joy when I read this? Here are a few articles from papers long ago about my close family and some articles mentioning distant cousins--all Willhelms.

My Mom and Grandmother in the Lodi, California News-Sentinel in March 2, 1950:


My Aunt, the pretty bride. I was thrilled to add this to my research, what a find! I wonder what happened to all those postcards Nancy and Larry mailed us from Canada?


My Parents' Wedding Announcement: Wish I had an original newspaper copy of this piece. I tried to lighten the photo more of Elta, the young graduate. Click on the thumbnails ABOVE Elta's photo to see TWO pages--not just the one of Elta's photograph:


While googling just now I found this on Jimmie Willhelm from Burnet, Texas:

TEN MINUTES OF RESEARCH LATER:  Ahh, Jimmie Willhelm is my Mom's second cousin once removed. His parents? Audis and Virgie Mae. Audis was the second son (of nine children) born to Joseph Flemon and Mary Elizabeth (Baxter) Willhelm. And Joseph? He was the sixth of eight children born to Welk Willhelm and Mary Elizabeth (Cowan). Welk, also known as "Welcome" on Confederate War records, is our ancestor who went missing soon after the birth of his youngest, Alice Emily, in 1883. ("Missing" is a nice word for abandoned. Or as Aunt Beatrice referred to it: forced to leave Texas after an altercation where someone was killed.)

I found an obit for Jimmie Willhelm's mother:


I have no idea who this Willhelm is, but I enjoyed the article from The Deseret News in May of 1967 about a college campus in Iowa. I would enjoy hearing Henry's comments about it now, wouldn't you? And yes, I intentionally "snipped" the tidbit about Ginsburg to the right of dear Henry's article. The times, they were 'a changing:


Got all that? I hope to soon post a timeline of our Willhelm family on another site to make it easier to see who's who. Thanks for stopping by! And Google? If you're listening, I appreciate you, Google. You're a researcher's dream come true.
