2. Census in 1860 in Waldwick, Iowa, WI. ² The 1860 census recorded Joseph Beecher, 37, born in Prussia, Germany, living with wife Emiline, 39, born in Illinois, and their children all born in Wisconsin: Catharine, 8; Rachel, 6; Emilie, 4; Elizabeth, 2; Francis Joseph, 2 months old born in March; and listed last another Catharine, 13, born in Prussia, which suggests either Joseph had a first wife in Prussia before Emiline, or, Catherine is a neice of Joseph's brother. The town Joseph was in was Waldwick but their nearest post office was Mineral Point.
