My father Richard "Dick" Rebholz, returned home in August 1946 to his family waiting at the remnants of the pioneer Goelz farm on S. Whitnall and E. Bradley Aves.
He later would later become a storehouse of knowledge with stories from both sides of the Rebholz & Quast family tree: Alderman Gauer's shenanigans (Irish for Schadenfreude) in the creation of Milwaukee's tiniest park called Goelz Triangle; the Quast family grocery store in the old north side German ghetto; the swimming school where his father learned to swim near the old North Avenue dam.
I don't know if he had prior knowledge of the family's early pioneers in Walker's Point (Milwaukee), Grafton, New Berlin, and even Waukesha. But I think his natural curiosity would've been piqued as I've added to the family story.
