<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 346359, member: 59"]Good news! Found troop ship records for William E Manzke, Private, 42nd A A Battery, 5th A A Sector, both on his way to France (Oct 1918) and coming back (arrived New York, 1 Jan 1919.) His next of kin is a brother Reinhardt Manzke of Chicago. He appears to be the same William Manzke as you found census records for - all 3 1920, 1930 and 1940, seen above. Born 6 Feb 1895, Chicago, according to his Draft Card in 1918. Died March 1960, buried Niles, Cook County, Illinois. His brief obit mentions brother Reinhardt and membership in VFW Post 3582.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108189726" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108189726" rel="nofollow">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108189726</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
