I know that an August Silberhorn, 201 Franklin St., in South Muscatine ,IA placed notices in the German language newspapers published in Milwaukee, WI to help find his missing adopted son named Adolf. The notices specify Adolf was adopted, born Adolf Grieser, and was 14 yrs. old in the early 1890s.
How do I know? This index tells me so: "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950).
