She married Johann 'John' Roos in Milwaukee on 08 Nov 1869 (although the marriage record incorrectly gives her first name as 'Apollonia' and her husband's surname as 'Ross').
The young couple lived in Milwaukee where they began their family, eventually moving to Grafton where, for many years, they lived close to their children Lena, Henry and Adeline.
(Adeline Bornheimer Roos' month and date of birth are as reported on the 1900 census record, on which she also reported having born ten children, only 3 of which survived as of that year's census.)
Most of her children are buried with her and her husband in this same plot in Calvary Cemetery, but two of her children are still unaccounted for.
Daughter Adeline Katherine Roos was born March 21, 1888; possibly in Saukville, Wisconsin, where her parents resided in 1895. The Family History library has a record of her birth for that date and with the proper parents, but shows her having been born in Oregon, so she was most certainly born in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin (geographically only a key stroke away!).
The identity of the remaining two children and their fates remain unknown.
