Abstract:

Papers, circa 1841-circa 1925, of Joseph Nuesse, who emigrated from Germany to Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1869, and soon moved to the Town of Sevastopol, Door County, where he farmed and was a founder of SS. Peter and Paul Congregation and the Sevastopol Mutual Fire Insurance Corporation. The collection contains records of genealogical interest and of real estate transactions, some original but many photocopies; and letters received from relatives in Germany, 1891-1920, which have been transcribed and translated. The letters describe living conditions and social change, including the time following World War I. Also present is a description of the collection and an article about Nuesse incorporating much of the information found here, written by his grandson, C. Joseph Nuesse.
