Heinrich Freidrich Wilhelm ROMIG
Henry lived in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin in 1933. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Also see notes and sources for his father John Romig. His obit says he is survived by wife and 2 daughters: Mrs. W. G. Barnes and Mrs. Harlen (Jeanette) Telfer (who married June 24, 1932). His obit (Ref 396) says he was born in Watertown.
Not sure Kranz is her maiden name. I am aware of a "Mrs. Bertha Louise Romig (maiden name Behm?), born Dec 17, 1865, died Oct 1942, who was survived by a son Frank, 3 sisters (Miss Amanda Behm), Mrs Ray Podewell, and Mrs Helen Draeger. This could possibly be Heinrich Freidrich Romig's wife, assuming Kranz was her first married name. A reason to doubt that she is Heinrich's wife is that Heinrich's obit says his wife survived him, which does not jive with Heinrich's death year of 1946 and Bertha Louise's in 1942. Nevertheless....
Baptised at Mamre Moravian church with Friedrich Albrecht, August Huebner and Emelia Schmidt as sponsors.
Not sure Ida Gerber's <120> sister was Wilhelm's wife. Wilhelm is the nephew of Fredricke Bulgerin <6>. Wilhelm lived in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin in 1933. Also see notes and sources for his likely wife Gerber.

Harold was born north of Lema Center, Wisconsin, and lived there till age 13, when his parents moved north of Milton, Wisconsin on Nueville Road. Harold married Evelyn Dorothy Schemmel in 1930.
