      1872 May 16 born son of Thomas O'Leary and Margaret Kreuser in Kickapoo Valley, Monroe County. s99
      1871 May: born Peter O'Leary per 1900 census, 1900 notes on father

      1872 Jul 21 Baptized at the Church of Nativity of B.?. Mary at St. Mary's Ridge, Norwalk, Wis (R.I. - ?) by Rev. H. Grosse. Sponsors: Eugene Sullivan and Johanna Dwyer (Eugene is likely the husband of Thomas O'Leary's sister i.e. an uncle and Joanna likely the sister of Margaret Kreuser O'Leary s99

      Peter owned farm in Humbird, WI.

      s96 is a five generation newspaper clipping sent to my by Viola Fitzmaurice, it reads: "FIVE GENERATIONS of daughters gathered recently for a family picture. Mrs. Emma O'Leary, Withee, holds her great-great granddaughter, Michele Hawley, daughter of Mrs. Clayton Jawley, Jr. (seated behind chair), Marrillan, Mrs. Hawley's mother, Mrs. Jerry Cernik, Neillsville, is on the right of the picture, and Mrs. Cernik's mother, Mrs.
      Jake Fitzmaurice, Humbird, is on the left." This photo taken before 28 March 1976 (date of death of Emma Putman O'Leary)

      s99 is an "abstract" of a "Certificate of Baptism" provided to me by Viola
      Mae O'Leary Fitzmaurice in 1981. It reads:

      CERTIFICATE OF BAPTISM - Peter O'Oleary, son of Thomas O'Leary and Margaret Kreuser. May 16, 1872 was baptized 21st day of July 1872 . . at the Church of Nativity of B.(V.?) Mary at St. Mary's
      Ridge - . . Norwalk, Wis. by Rev. H. Grosse. . . R.I. Sponsors .
      . Eugene Sullivan . . Johanna Dwyer

      I do not understand the "R.I." written under the word Norwalk. There is a St. Mary's/Norwalk in Monroe Co. just southeast of Sparta and no doubt this was the place/state of baptism.
