Goelz's Triangle

I walked by the Goelz home on S. Clement Ave. with my sister and niece in June, and the owner Mr. Miller, sensing a "tour", came out.
I reminded him that I stopped by in the 1980s and gave him a picture of the home (c. 1878).
He told me he had the title packet that came with the property, dating back to c. 1850!

Too bad Ron Winkler didn't check with the owner while not doing any research on the Goelz property for his Town of Lake book.

Or was there some other purpose to mis-identifying the home since I heard Ron asked MPL to turn over my German Newspapers data to him & the Bay View Historical Soc. (A Deed of Gift agreement protects my work at MPL - although they'd be happy to ignore that, if possible.)

Rose Goelz, daughter of Georg & Gertrud (Gassen) Goelz, was the last of the their children. She had already signed over the remains of the farm and home on S. Clement Ave. in lieu of assisted living care at the hospital. The property that siblings Lorenz & Joh. Geo. had received fronting on Whitnall and Howell, north of Bradley was still in descendants hands, with the last lot leaving descendant's hands in about 2008.

The arrangement with Alderman Paul Gauer to create "Goelz Triangle", or "Goelz's Triangle", was actually made for 2nd generation, native born, Lorenz Goelz and not his father George.
