Wisconsin police baffled by 1888 gravestone

It's quite possible they don't, and nor even how to find facts that any nine year old child who was not severely mentally retarded would know how to quickly and easily find. For instance back in the 1990's the FBI approved for a national security clearance, and so that the guy could become the US Ambassador to Switzaerland, a guy who virtually everybody in his hometown San Diego area, and also a lot of ordinary laymen all over Southern California, was well aware was as organized crime connected as could be, and in fact that he had been for decades.
(That guy and his lawyers provided so much in election campaign contributions and under the table bribes, that therefore the big boys, and including various members of the US Senate, pretended he was a legitimate businessman, and even though it had been very well known for decades that actually he was as organized crime connected as could be. And then about a year after he died a few of the details of his lies, sleaze, and phoniness became so nationally famous, that as a result they were forced to dig up and remove his body from Arlington National Cemetery, since it became so undisputable that he not only had not been the great war hero during World War 2 that he had bamboozled the FBI and the White Houose into believing he had been, but in fact he had never even served in the military.)
That guy and his associates also had close links to the two largest fires San Francisco has had in decades. However the "geniuses" in the FBI, SF DA's office, SF Police Dept, and SF Fire Dept never even realized that if they had asked just a few preliminary questions, in both cases the name of the same real estate company, a company that had extremely close links to that organized crime connected ambassador, would have come up.
However we should not be too hard on the FBI and the DA's office, since both have the culture of lawyers and law firms, and lawyers are the stupidest, blindest, and most narrow creatures on earth.

Dried dirt, green grass under the headstone, boy, you just can't stump these cops.
About next you'll be telling me fresh blood on the hands of a person standing over a beaten body could be a clue to who did it.
Chumps.

In those days, a lot could happen from census year to census year so couldn't rely soley on 1880 but good clue. A lot of Fenske's in Wisconsin and Minnesota. A Google book search didn't take long; had the name spelled correctly in a biography. Glad its solved and being put to right. Now to try to tell every newspaper that picked up the story! Racine's going to still be getting calls for a week!
