Wolfater, Frank, brother, 30, b. U.S.
Wolfater, Robert, brother, 27, b. U.S.
Wolfater, Alma, sister, 17, b. U.S.
All immigrated 1910. But not found in the 1911 Canadian census.

Found on the internet at Binkley's Funeral Service - Maple Creek: Obituary for Peter Wolfater, born Feb. 2, 1920 to Otto and Margaret Wolfater in Gull Lake, Sask., died in 2012. So there are still Wolfater descendents in the Maple Creek area.

In the 1900 census, Eva M. Hart, 7, is in Crow Wing Twp with her parents Renee, 36, and Elizabeth, 35, married 13 years. Elizabeth was born in Wisconsin. Since Peter has no sister named Elizabeth, Eva must be the niece of his wife, Mary. On 07/05/1887, Renee Hart married Elizabeth Coenen in Crow Wing county.

Herman Wohlfater d. 22 Apr 1936 in Crow Wing Co.
Frank Wolfater d. 12 Jul 1936 in Minneapolis.
Emanuel Wohlfater d. 04 Feb 1937 in Koochiching Co.
John Wolfater d. 01 Jul 1941 in Cass Co.
Aloys Wohlfater d. 11 Sep 1943 in Crow Wing Co.

All of the above siblings were single in their last census, so Peter was the only son who had children.

In the 1911 Canadian census, Robt Wohlfather, b. Aug 1887 in U.S. was living in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and had come to Canada in 1910.

            From the Staples World
     Miss Annie Wohlfather, who had been visiting her sister, Mrs. Fred Commans, returned to Brainerd yesterday. (Brainerd Dispatch, 25 March 1898, p. 8, c. 5)

Mrs. Fred Commans is the former Cecilia Wohlfater, so Andreas and Crescentia are the grandparents of Cecilia's children Johnnie Commans and Willie Commans.
