MRIN File (burial information) for the two infants of Thomas Henry Egts & Augusta Sophia Brunner, by Donald E. Braden (excerpt of pg 3):
******************
2024: Researched and compiled by Catherine (Clemens) Sevenau, a distant shirt-tail relation: the father of my sons was the son of Louis Dunand Sevenau. Louis’ parents were Ernest Eugene Sevenau & Edna [Clement] Kellogg. Edna’s 2nd husband was Milo Bailey Kellogg with whom she had two children, the older being Leo Yates Kellogg. Leo was married three times and his 3rd wife was Joan Marie Egts. This is Joan’s line, which means I’m six degrees of separation.
Thank you to Elsie [Heather] (Kellogg) Reed, for her generous contribution of family photos and her maternal Egts history. Heather is the daughter of Leo Yates Kellogg & Joan Marie Egts, the granddaughter of John Louis Egts & Anna Elsie Schultz, the great-granddaughter of Thomas Henry Egts & Augusta Sophia Brunner, and the great-great-granddaughter Gerke Siebels “George” Egts & Gretke Marie Tammen.
And thank you to Gaylen Towt for her contributions and excellent editing. Gaylen is the great-great-granddaughter of Gerke Siebels “George” Egts & Gretke Marie Tammen, great-granddaughter of George Wilhelm Egts & Martha Jane Cline, granddaughter of Anna Dale Egts & Carlos Goodrich, and the daughter of Russell & Lorraine Goodrich.
