  • Notes  Married:
    • The Posts came to Muskego with a nickel in their pockets and made good. They bought forty acres on Little Muskego Lake where their son, John, build a cream brick home which still stands. They stopped off in New York for a few years before coming west.

      Original burial for both John and Lucy was in the cemetery on Little Muskego Lake where the amusement park later was built. The graves were moved to Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee. The Post family is buried in Lot 8, Block 5, Section 8.
