Holy Family Church records in Oldenburg, IN, show Joseph A. Macke, widowed,
marrying Maria Theresia Meyerwissel, daughter of Bernard Meyerwissel, on 29 May
1849 at an 8 AM ceremony. Two bands played, and the witnesses were Henry Macke
and M. Agnes Schmiesing.

The records from Holy Family Parish in Oldenburg, IN (written in Latin with Old
German script) show a Maria Elizabeth Macke with the father John Herman Joseph
Macke and mother Anna Tailor (listed as “not Catholic”) born on 18 October 1848
and baptized 23 October 1848. The sponsors were Bernard Henry Lüsche (Luchte?)
and Maria Elizabeth Burdick with Fr. Franz Joseph Rudolf as the baptizer.

In the Holy Family parish records in Oldenburg, Maria Agnes Macke, daughter of
John Herman Joseph Macke and Theresia Meyerwessel, was born on 27 Mar 1850 and
baptized on 30 Mar 1850. The sponsors were Herman Henry Burdick and Agnes
Schmeising (married to Lüstche).

Questions: Was the same (M.) Agnes Schmeising who witnessed Joseph Macke’s
remarriage the same one who was a sponsor to their first child? Was the child,
Maria Agnes Macke, named after her? Was she Joseph’s mother or cousin perhaps?
We need to check on census records to get an age, etc., to narrow down the
possibilities.

Was Agnes Schmeising who was married to Lüstche married to the Bernard Henry
Lüstche who was the sponsor Joseph Macke and Anna Taylor’s daughter Mary Elizabeth
Macke’s baptism.
Who were the Burdicks? Maria Elizabeth Burdick was the other sponsor to Mary
Macke’s baptism (with Bernard Herny Lüstche) and Herman Henry Burdick was the
other sponsor (with Agnes Schmeising married to Lüstche) to the baptism of Joseph
and Theresia’s first child.
