  Gender	Male
  Other Info or Events	Upon finding the following certificate of death, I believe that Catheri ne & Bernard also had a daughter named Francis. I have not yet complet ed my process of elimination to determine whether there could possibly ha ve been another Catherine Hermans & Bernard DeGroot, in Wausaukee, b ut it seems unlikely. My mother, who was born & raised there, remembers n one.

Bunker of WausaukeeMarinette County Courthouse, Register of Deeds, 1926 Hall Ave, Marinett e, WI 715-732-7550 / 715-732-7415 My notes on Francis DeGroot: BURIAL: I am sure that if (as I suspect) Francis is the daughter of my Cat herine Hermans & Bernard DeGroot that she is buried in the DeGroot Fami ly Plot of Bernard DeGroot, located in Evergreen Cemetery, Wausaukee, W I. There is no marker for Francis in Evergreen Cemetery and unless she h as been recently added, there is no record of Francis being buried ther e. What I do have are other records & some sound logic. Fact: Many of Evergreen Cemetery's records were lost in a fire.Fact: Bernard DeGroot buried his first wife Christina/Christine in his De Groot family plot, in the year 1901.Fact: Catherine, the mother of Francis, had already buried her husband Be rnard DeGroot, in this family plot, in January of 1917.Fact: Francis died in March of 1917, and was buried in Wausauk ee by A. P. Bunker. The records of A. P. Bunker were not as complete as t hey needed to be, in order to compensate for the loss of Evergreen Cemeter y's records.Fact: 1st hand, family accounts state that in 1934 & 1943, two infant gra ndchildren of Bernard & Christina were buried (in unmarked graves) in Bern ard DeGroot's family plot.Fact: The cemetery records, for these 1934 & 1943 burials, were lost in t he above fire and only recently re-added to the cemetery records.Fact: The names of these grandchildren have only recently been adde d, by their siblings, to the headstone of their parents (Theodore Carl & M ary Leone DeGroot, who are buried a small distance from Bernard DeGroot 's family plot).Fact: Francis' mother, Catherine, was buried there, in Bernard's family p lot, in 1946.Fact: Bernard & Christina's son, Henry (who remained single), was buri ed in Bernard's family plot, in 1966.Fact: Bernard & Catherine's daughter, Cecilia (who remained single), w as buried in Bernard's family, in 1998.Fact: There is a place reserved, in Bernard DeGroot's family plot, for t he burial of Sister Avita, daughter of Bernard & Catherine.My Mom (born & raised in Wausaukee) knows of no other Wausaukee Cemetery.Common sense tells me that Francis was laid to rest near her father, in h is family plot. Francis was born on July 28, 1916. She was the last child born to Catherine and Bernard. She had a brother, named Christian, and two sisters named, Cecilia and Helen. Helen became Sister Avita of the Dominican Order. There are no other descendants from the union of Catherine and Bernard DeGroot. Francis also had five brothers and sisters through Bernard's previous marriage. They were as follows: Johanna Carolina, known as Caroline, Henry, also called Hank, Theodore Carl , known as C arl , Petronella, who was called Nell and William. Their mother was Christina, sister to Catherine, who was born November 12, 1866 and passed from this life on July 29, 1901. Francis' parents, Bernard and Catherine, were married on February 23, 1903 in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. Catherine was born on January 5, 1881 in DePere, Wisconsin. She passed from this life on January 2, 1946. Bernard, whose formal name was Bernardus, was born on September 28, 1869 in DePere, Wisconsin. He was also called Barney. He passed from this life on January 10, 1917. Catherine and Bernard rest together in peace at Evergreen Cemetery, Wausaukee, Wisconsin. While Francis was born in the United States of America, all four of her grandparents were born in the Netherlands of Europe. They were Jacoba Jacobs who was married with Carl Hermans and Petronella Verstraten who was married with Hen r i cus DeGroot, also known as Henry. 1917 was a most difficult year for Catherine, who returned both her husband and her daughter to the LORD in that year. Francis DeGroot was laid to rest with her father and passed into Heaven on March 4, 1917.
