The Biography of Joesph Habersetzer Contributed by Cathy (Habersetzer) Cgraggen
Joseph Habersetzer was born in Wiscon about 1851. His parents, Nicholas and Barbara Habersetzer, along with a sister Mary or Maria and brother Leonard ( my great grandfather) left the port of Bremen Germany and arrived in New York Sept 18, 1850. Joseph is not listed on the ship list. He is listed in the 1870 census of Wisconsin* as living at home at age 19. Joseph spent his childhood in the town of Meeme, Wisconsin. His brother Leonard's last home in Wisconsin was Colby, and he then came to Washington state in the 1880's.
Joseph died July 25, 1890, at the age of thirty-nine and was buried in the Clark County, Wisconsin Poor Farm Cemetery which is located in York Township.
Notes
*The 1870 Census says he was born in Bavaria and we believe that is in error. He would have been born shortly after their arrival in 1851. If he were 19 in 1870 then he was indeed 39 at the time of his death in 1890.
