Vauxes in the News -- Charles Vaux Dies in 1946 in Bloomer, Wisconsin

 It's time for another edition of "Vauxes in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Vaux (my 2nd great-grandmother's maiden surname) that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from the Leader-Telegram [Eau Claire, Wis.] newspaper dated 15 November 1946:

The transcription of the article is:

"Charles Vaux, 76, Buried at Bloomer

"BLOOMER, Wis. {Special) -- The Rev. A. R. Boer officiated at funeral services Wednesday afternoon for Charles Vaux, 76, who died at his home of a heart attack Sunday at 8:45 p.m.  The services were held at the St. John's Lutheran church here.  burial was in the City cemetery.

"He is survived by wife wife, Augusta; a son Ernest, Bloomer; three daughters, Mrs. Helmuth Grossmann, Charles City, La., Mrs. Ray Fullard, Chicago, and Mrs. Ray Schumacher, Webster Grove; one great-grandchild.  A daughter, Mrs. Herman Dallman preceded him in death in 1944."

Charles A. Vaux was born 21 May 1870 in Dunn County, Wisconsin, the son of Josiah and Amelia (Mittlestadt) Vaux.  He married Augusta Dietsche (1870-1952) on 5 November 1892 in Dunn, Wisconsin.  Charles died 10 November 1946 in Bloomer, Wis.  They had five children:

*  Elsa C. Vaux (1893-1944), married 1924 Herman F. Dallman (1897-1953).

*  Ernest Louis Vaux (1896-1968), married 1936 Helene A. Boer (1912-????).

*  Dora Emilie Vaux (1898-1968), married 1921 Helmuth Wilhelm Grossmann (1900-1943).

*  Agnes Anna Vaux (1901-1984), married 1945 Ray Fulford (1902-1978)

*  Aimee Elizabeth Vaux (1904-1987), married 1835 Raymond Emil Schumacher (1898-1982).

I am a first cousin four times removed to Charles Vaux (1870-1946), with common ancestors of James Vaux (1787-1839) and Mary Palmer (1790-1845), who migrated from South Petherton, Somerset, England to Erie County, New York in the early 1830s.

There are hundreds of Vaux "stories" in my family tree - and this was one of them. Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a person has only family members listed in his obituary.  I am glad that I can honor Charles A. Vaux today.

You never know when a descendant, relative or friend will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.
