Antoine Dunston
Antoine L. Dunston was born October 4, 1845 (or so), in Iowa County Wisconsin
near Mineral Point or Peddler's Creek, near Linden.
He served twice during the Civil War. He was in
Company A of the 33rd Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry.
Later he was in

After his divorce from Ella Heberling,
he eventually worked several years in Madison.

He is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Madison, in
grave 20, tier B in Union Rest.
Obituary
from the Wisconsin State Journal, Thursday January 20 1916, p. 2. Note misspelling of Antoine. I know nothing of this niece, or really anything about his siblings. G.A.R. is the Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War - Union Army).

Going back in time...
Antoine's parents were Emanuel A. Dunston and Mary S. Dunston.
I'd be
interested in contacts with descendents of any of Antoine's siblings in case
there are any records about the Ella-Antoine family.
