Notes:

His mother Katie's first name is probably Katherine. Her maiden name is unknown at this time. Stephen had one brother, John (1900-1971), and three sisters. They were: Mary, 1902-2001); Josephine, aka Josie, (1905-1998); and Katherine, aka Katie, (1898-1997). All of Andrew and Katie's children were born in Wyoming. On ancestry.com, the 1900 Federal Census lists Alexander and Katie's family's name as "Anglia". They were living at 452 East Flat, Rock Springs, Sweetwater Co., Wyoming. Alex was born in March of 1880 in Austria, as was both of his parents. He and his wife Katie had only been married for one year in 1900. Katie was born in November, 1881, also in Austria. Her parents were also born in Austria. Alex was a coal miner. He once told his children that he worked for a dollar a day. In this census, Alexander says he immigrated in 1896. Katie immigrated in 1898. The 1910 Census has the family living at 306 6th St., also in Rock Springs, Wyoming. This census states that Alexander immigranted in 1895 and Katie in 1900. At this time Katie had had 5 children, with all of them living. Stephen met Cecilia Anna McGrath on a blind date. They were married in Pomeroy, Garfield Co., Washington in 1938.

Notes:

The Golden Book of Ilsfeld lists his birthday as 20 Oct 1841. His obituary lists it as 2 Oct 1841, as does his gravestone. The Ilsfeld book is most likely correct.

Ernst Gottlieb Obenland was born in Ilsfeld, Wurttemburg, Germany to Johannes Obenland and his wife, Luise Barbara Logel.

In 1868, Ernst made the trip to America. The Parish register in Ilsfeld says that he, along with his brothers, Christian Friederich and Gottlieb Friederich, all left in 1872. However, as it pertains to Ernst, the register is incorrect. First, Ernst married Maria Agnes Burkhart on May 26, 1870 in Danvers, McLean County, Illlinois. And second, the 1900 Census says that Ernst arrived in the US in 1868.

The church register is correct regarding Christian and Gottlieb. They came to the United States on the Bremen, arriving in New York on April 16, 1872. For some reason, the records show Ernst and Christian on the passenger list; not Gottlieb. But, because Ernst was married in 1870 in Illinois, I believe the second brother on the list is Gottlieb, not Ernst.

The 1870 Census lists Ernst and Mary living in the home of Gottlieb Rummell in McLean County, Illinois. Ernst was working for the railroad and Mary was a servant. Records in the Circuit Court of McLean County, Illinois, state that Ernst was naturalized on March 19, 1974.

All three brothers settled in Illinois after coming to the United States. Christian married and had a large family, staying in Illinois. Their brother Gottlieb did the same. Ernst and Mary stayed for awhile, then the moved to California.

The 1880 Federal Census shows the family living in Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. At that time they had 5 children: Christian Gottlieb Ernst, Elizabeth Louise, Adolph Emil, Gustave Franklin, and Bertha Rose. Ernst was a farmer while Mary kept house for the family. An agriculture census for the year 1879 shows that Ernst and Mary owned 7 improved acres and 6 unimproved acres of land, the value being $1,000. Their farm implements were valued at $15. The estimated value of farm production "sold, consumed or on hand for 1879" was reported to be $300.

In the fall of 1881, Ernst moved his family to Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington Territory. Their last daughter, Christiana or Anna as she was called, was born there in 1882.

After Mary passed away in 1887, Ernst continued to live in Pomeroy. By 1901, Christian, Elizabeth Louise, and Adolph had married. Anna was in Tacoma, while Gustave and Bertha were living with their father in Pomeroy.

In November 1901, Ernst went to visit his daughter Elizabeth Louise and her husband in Idaho. On his way home, he was taken ill. Ernst's son, Christian, got word that his father was seriously ill, so he made the trip to Lewiston, Idaho. His father died the next day of what the obituary said was a "serious affliction of the stomach." His obituary, dated Nov. 23, 1901 (newspaper unknown) states:

"E.G. Obenland Dead. Monday evening C. Obenland received word that his father way lying, dangerously sick in Lewiston, Idaho. Mr. Obenland immediately started out for Lewiston, arriving there at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. He found that the report concerning his father's condition was not overdrawn. The sick man was suffering from a serious affection of the stomach. He was taken suddenly ill Monday, and kept getting worse in spite of all that could be done, until death came to relieve his suffering, Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the forenoon.

The deceased had been visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Schuck (sic), and was on his way home when he was taken sick. The body was brought to Pomeroy for burial, interment being made in the city cemetery Thursday at 10 o'clock. Rev. E. I. Crawford conducted the services.

Mr. Obenland was born in Germany, Oct 2nd, 1841. At the age of 33 he came to the United States, settling in Illinois. He removed to California where he remained for awhile, coming from there to Pomeroy in the fall of 1881. His wife died her fourteen years ago. He leaves three sons and three daughter, viz: C., G., and A. E. Obenland of Pomeroy. Miss Bertha Obenland of Pomeroy, Mrs. W. A. Schuck (sic) of White Bird, Idaho, and Miss Nannie Obenland of Tacoma, Wash."

Ernst was buried two days later in the Pomeroy City Cemetery next to his wife. It's interesting to note that Ernst's son Gustave died in the same town as his father did, 43 years later.

Ernst married Maria Agnes Burkhart 26 May 1870, Danvers Township, McLean County, Illinois, USA. Maria (daughter of Johann Georg G Burkhardt and Maria Agnes Strobel) was born 27 May 1853, Oberhausen, Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; died 27 Oct 1887, Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington, USA; was buried 3 Nov 1901, Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington, USA.

Notes:

Maria (Mary) Agnes Burkhart was born in Germany on May 27, 1853. Her gravestone says that she was born in 1852, however, the church in Germany made it clear that the year was 1853. She was born in Unterhausen near Lichtenstein. Mary was the daughter of Johann Georg Burkhart and Maria Agnes Strobel. (To see the family tree from Germany, go to "Click here to view all images" at the bottom right of this memorial.)

She married another German immigrant, Ernst Gottlieb Obenland, on May 26, 1870 in Danvers, McLean Co., Illinois. Their first child, Christian G.E. Obenland was born in 1871. Elizabeth Louise was also born in Illinois in 1872.

Sometime in 1872, the family moved from Illinois to California, settling in Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. Ernst was a farmer while Mary kept house.

While in Glen Ellen, they had three more children: Adolph, 1875; Gustave, 1877; and Bertha, 1880.

In the fall of 1881, the family moved to Washington Territory. They made their home in Pomeroy in Garfield County. Once again, Ernst worked as a farmer. In 1882, the couple's last child, Anna was born.

Mary passed away on Oct. 27, 1887. Her cause of death is not known at this time. She was buried in the Pomeroy City Cemetery where later her husband and many of her children and grandchildren would be buried.

Mary's death notice in the newspaper read simply, "Mrs. Obenland, of this place, died last Saturday morning after a short illness, and was buried on Sunday. She left $500, which she had saved up for the support of her children."


Birth:
The person who researched for me in Germany emphasized her birth year was 1853 not 1852.
