Sarah, I went back to the old Colby Phonograph and Singstoeg is the way it is spelled there. I will add Singstock to the surnames list for the obituary so that anyone searching on the Singstock name will find this obit. Stan Schwarze

I was looking at this page from the Clark County genealogy and am sending a
picture of the gravesite at Zion Cemetery in Readfield. Online info about this
cemetery is difficult to find when you look up Waupaca County because there are
two Zion Cemeteries and this one is often omitted. Funny, since it is right
across the street from Zion Lutheran Church. Almost always, I have seen the name
spelled as SENGSTOCK as it is on the gravestone. However, none of the children
ever spelled their names with an “E”, always with an “I” as SINGSTOCK. I believe
his daughter was married to the Tesmer and land that he owned in Clark County
eventually became Tesmer’s. His son Herman and wife Lena lived in Green Grove
area and I thought he had a son, William, and they were buried at St Paul’s
Lutheran Church in Green Grove. That last line does not agree with all my
records, but I remember the three of them visiting us in the Pittsville, WI area
in the 1950’s and about 2000 my Mother and I visited the church and saw a
gravestone for William. Lena lived to be well over 100 at a Health care place in
Neillsville. I am Dennis Singstock, son of Albert, son of Leo, son of Ferdinand.
