To the Glesener and Moosbrugger descendants,
My deepest sympathy in your loss.
I live in WI, and do genealogy work, including descendants of Louis Krupp of Austria who emigrated to Elroy WI. His daughter Kate married my grandpa Geo L Hopkins. This is what I know of your line:

Louis Krupp's daughter Josephine married George Moosbrugger in 1904. They moved from MN to Omaha NE. Their son Leo married Elaine there about 1937. They raised Pauline, Paul and Joseph.

Pauline married "Pops" about 1952 and they had 5 girls and a boy!

I have talked to Paul Moosbrugger, and am aware there were several adoptions in this line. I find this so interesting, as Louis Krupp was orphaned as a young child in Austria, a fact revealed in letters from Leo Moosbrugger, who visited Tarrant Austria in the 1950's.

I would love to be updated from anyone of the Glesener's who is interested in family tree stuff. I would love to here from Pauline, who may remember some of these old stories. I wish her the best of good health and a long and joyous life.

Cousins Always,

Pauline and entire Family... I had the priviledge to spend time with Pops and the clan for one of the most peaceful and funfilled 4th of July week end's ever at Pine Mountain Lake. I shared the afternoon porch with Pops. I will never forget the hospitality you all shared with me. I don't remember spending time with a more loving family. Really. What a legacy. Both with laughter and intellectual banter, Pops was just a great guy to be around. You all have him in you and still with you. I smile when I think of him. That will always remain the same with my thoughts and memory of him. Love to you all.

To all the Gleseners,
He is a wonderful man and will be remembered in my memories and my heart. I remember his laugh, his smile and how he use to shake his head when I said/did silly things. He is a wonderful part of my growing up years not to be forgotten.
