Hi,
Welcome to Rootschat

Someone has a possible tree on Familysearch but as always online trees can be incorrect but maybe some more names to research.

Thank you for the welcome! You have certainly given me a lot to research at the very least! Thank you!

She does not appear to be with the Gruenewalds in 1905.

She may be the "Clara" listed with them in 1900 as a daughter, perhaps a foster daughter.

Thank you for this information! It does make me wonder why she was loving with them. I havent been able to track down the reason yet. 🤔

Hello! My first post here, and I was hoping y'all could help me find the parents of someone?

The earliest census I can find for her is 1910, and she was already married by then.

Here is what I know:

Name: Clara D W Hornke
Birth: 1886 Wisconsin, United States
Father's Birthplace: Germany
Mother's Birthplace: Germany
Married: Henry Miller
Lived with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gruenewald, near Nye, in 1907

Newspaper quote (Osceola, WI, 1907):
"The marriage of Henry Miller, second son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Miller, of the town of Farmington, and Miss Clara Hornke, took place at the home of Rev. Thomas Biggar in this village, Tuesday afternoon, December 10, 1907, Rev. Biggar performing the ceremony that made the young couple man and wife.

They were attended by Benjamin and Miss Elsie Miller, brother and sister of the groom, and left immediately after the ceremony for a brief wedding trip to Stillwater. Both the bride and groom are well known here, they having lived in this vicinity practically all their lives. The groom is a capable young man, of many sterling qualities.

The bride made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gruenewald, near Nye, for a number of years and later in Osceola. It is understood that the newly wedded couple will have charge of the Miller farm in Farmington, following the removal of the groom's parents to this village. The Sun joins with their many friends in wishing them an abundance of the joys of married life. It is reported from Stillwater that the newly married couple were the victims of a charavari party Tuesday night."
