Misc. Notes
As of 05-OCT-2014, the Findagrave memorial believed to be that for Louis, [1498, Memorial# 118755625] is filed under the spelling “Louise S. WENSOLE” but the death date matches the MNHS death certificate index entry (CERTID# 1918-MN-022355), which in turn uses the spelling “Luis Simon WENSOLE.”
The name WENSOLE is possibly derived from a farm named Venshol in Ringsaker, Hedmark, Farm No. 193.
Or Vengsoel / Wengshoel / Wendsoel / Wenshoeleie ?? no direct association known

Research
Have not found him in the 1870 census of La Crosse, so the 1874 emigration date may be correct.
