[Note from compiler... We posted a message to the Barton County email list about this birth wondering if the editor wrote the name incorrectly and it might have been LINSNER. We received the following information from Loretta Ludwig Riedl: This family of Linsners did live northwest of Hoisington. My grandmother, Mary LINSNER DEBES would be a daughter to the child, Robert Linsner born in 1889. My mother Marjorie Debes Ludwig would be Anton Linsner's great-granddaughter. ---Loretta Ludwig Riedl (retta@carrollsweb.com)
