MACKE FAMILY
This photo, taken about 1906 in Coon Rapids, IA, is of the John Frank Macke family.
Left to right in the photo, standing, are: John, Charles, Michael, Elisabeth, Mary, Anna, William and
Joseph, children of John Frank and Julia Ann (Boos) Macke.
John Frank and Julia Ann Boos were married on 27 Jan 1871 in Minnesota.
Seated in the photo are: Margaretha Deitering (nee Buchheit) and John Frank Macke.
Margaretha is the 2nd wife of John Frank Macke, married 24 Feb 1897.
Three of the children, Elizabeth, Michael, and Anna were born in the vicinity of St. Cloud, Minnesota. In 1875, the family moved by covered wagon and ox team to
Eden Township, Carroll County, to a farm 3 miles south
of Templeton, where the rest of the children, Mary,
Joseph A., John A., William R., and Charles H. were
born.
Julia Ann (Boos), first wife of John Francis Macke,
died on 22 May 1893, and is buried in Templeton, IA
Cemetery. John Francis Macke died 26 Mar 1919 in
Carroll, and is buried in Templeton Cemetery, but no
tombstone exists at this time.
Below is an excerpt from the Templeton Centennial Book 1882 -
1982, citing some data similar to the historical data by S. J. Clarke
Publishing Co. for Carroll County, IA. The second bit of data cites the
family of Mike Macke, son of Frank John and Julia (Boos) Macke.
From the article on John Frank Macke family, we know
that John and Rose (Broderick) Macke lived in Oakland,
California. My wife and I (Bill Macke) visited them
at their home in the East Oakland hills in 1953, when
I was sent to the Presidio of San Francisco courtesy of
the U. S. Army. He assisted us in getting an
apartment in San Francisco, where we lived for two
years. Both are now deceased and interred in Alameda
County, California. John and Rose had two sons, Edward
and Louis.
Joseph Aloysius and Mary Margaret (Trecker) Macke [Photo above] lived in
Templeton
area for several years, raising seven sons. One daughter died at an
early age. In 1934, they moved to a ranch southeast of Mullen, NE, and
lived there until 1937, when they moved into the town of Mullen, NE.

I believe all the information to be correct. We have
census records from Minnesota and Iowa, as well as
documents on most of the data, including photos of
tombstones, Julia Ann (Boos) Macke death certificate, John Francis Macke death certificate, a copy of the
marriage certificate of John Francis Macke and
Margaretha (nee Buchheit) Deitering (Note the error in
the S.J. Clarke historical document on Margaretha's
name at the time of her marriage to John F. Macke),
and other birth, death and marriage certificates, as
well as personal confirmation of people in the above
photos.
