Wedding Wednesday - Percival & Goble
On April 9, 1829 in Boone County, Kentucky, Mr. Aaron Goble wed Miss Martha Percival. It is believed by this researcher that Martha was the daughter of Timothy Percival, Jr. and Louisa Shattuck. If this is true, then she was my first cousin five times removed.

Sympathy Saturday - Johann Carl Christian Klevsaat - aka John Klesert
There are many variations of the Kleesaat or Kleesart surname, and this man, my second cousin, three times removed used Klesert.
John was born in Rosenaw, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany on March 19, 1840. He was the son of Frederick Christoph Ernst Klevsaat and Christiana Sophia Louise Brahst. The family emigrated to the United States in 1857. He married Sophia Stube on December 6, 1865 in Sturgis, Michigan. He passed away on April 5, 1927 in Sturgis.
Klesert Rites Held
Funeral services were held a 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon for John Klesert, pioneer resident of Sturgis and St. Joseph County, who died Tuesday afternoon. Dr. J. W. Will officiated at the services. L. A. Stevenson and Milo Zook sang. Burial was in Oaklawn Cemetery. Casket bearers were George and Guerney Klesert, Clarence and Charles Storms, Fred Zabel and Charles Schweder. Out-of-town relatives who attended were Mrs. John Brast, Colon; Miss Wanda Miller, Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Watters, Battle Creek/ Clarence Burg, Albion; and Mrs. Zoe Keen of Fort Wayne.

Freaked Out Friday - Storms
I've been up since 5:30 a.m. thanks to thunderstorms, tornado watches and warnings rolling through the area. I'm not sure what woke me up, the thunder or Miss Mouse trying to get to me through a closed door. Fortunately, we made it through without any damag and no flooding.
I hate getting up that early when it isn't necessary. I have no appointments and no therapy scheduled, so the natural thing to do is sleep in. Oh well. Miss Mouse, who usually hangs out on my lap in the morning is still a little agitated and curious. She doesn't know whether to hide or look outside and see what is going on. Maybe I will sneak into my office and do a little work.
