Born in Neulouisendorf, near Kalkar, Kleve, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. FATHER by Bernardina Wilhelmina Varwijk; of William Theodore, Johanna Maria (Wiederin), John Herman, Theodore (in childhood, after immigrating to the US. Probably buried Mt. Carmel), Ewald Hermann & Bernard Christian. FATHER by Mary Anna Bruch (Wiederin); of Francis (b. Feb. 1882. d. age 2, probably buried Mt. Carmel). There are 3-4 unmarked graves next to Theodor. It seems likely these are the graves of Bernardina and 3 Fleskes children who died young (Theodore & Bernard by Bernardina and Francis Theodore by Mary Anna). Theodor was a master carpenter who built many churches in the US and Canada, including St. Bernard, Breda, Carroll Co., IA; SS Peter & Paul, Carroll Co., IA; St. Peter's Cathedral, Muenster, Canada (with August Wasserman). He did the "finishing work" (interior work) of (the 2nd) Holy Family, Lindsay, NE. Son John stated they built 2 (of the 5 versions) of Our Lady Of Mt. Carmel, Mt. Carmel, Carroll Co., IA, but I have been unable to determine which 2 he worked on, nor in what capacity (whether he was in charge or just a worker...whether he worked on the structure, the interior/finishing work or both). We know he did not work on the 1st one, which was built by Henry Baumhover in 1879 (before Theo's immigration). Theo did do the 1889 Cross replacement on Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
