    Notes:

    Michael's parents were Geraldine Cecilia Obenland (nee Huston) and Harold Edwin Obenland. Michael was born at Cedar's of Lebanon Hospital (now Cedar's Sinai). He was baptized at Holy Angels Catholic Church, in Arcadia, CA on March 7, 1948. His Sponsors were his great aunt, Marion Gillis and her husband, Hector.

    Michael's parents divorced in 1953, however, they had been living apart for at least one year prior to that. Michael grew up in Arcadia, Los Angeles County, CA with his mother and sister. The two children were taken care of by their maternal grandmother, Emma Cecilia Price, who lived with them until her death in 1962.

    Michael was married twice. First to Sherry Chrisinger on Dec. 12, 1970 in Monrovia, CA. They had two children before divorcing: Tracey Dionne Obenland (1971-2011) and Julie Marie Obenland.

    He later married Rosanna Jean Krajcik. Two children were born in this marriage: Marcia Marie Obenland, born in Los Angeles on March 12, 1978. Another child was found on the California Birth Index at Ancestry.com as being born to them on December 21, 1976, in Los Angeles. She is listed there as both Lisa A. Obenland and Lisa A. Krajcik. However, the state of California has said they have no record of this birth. Maybe she was adopted, as Michael and Rosanna had many problems in life. Michael and Rosanna were divorced in Los Angeles County, CA. Date unknown.

    On Oct. 19, 1992, Michael was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times regarding panhandlers. He said, "I'm manic-depressive. Both my wife (Rosanna) and I have been in many mental institutions. We have both had electric shock treatments over and over. We weren't born this way on purpose. My wife and I are both on disability. We each get $595 per month. Our rent, $597, takes half of that. Soon the state will cut us back $35 each per month. We could end up homeless again, like we were for a year and a half. Governor Wilson needs to be recalled. He doesn't care about the poor. See this brace I'm wearing for my spine? I need steroid shots, but they're not covered on Medicare. I need tranquilizers for my nerves, but they're not covered by Medicare. I've thought sometimes of suicide. Things are getting worse. About five months ago, I started getting up at 3 AM to go out with a flashlight to get bottles and stuff out of trash cans. It's so shabby everywhere. I'd say one-eighth of the people I ask give me money. The most I ever got? About $5. But mostly it's chump change, just enough so I can take my wife to Denny's for an iced tea or something."

    Michael died at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital of pneumonia, a complication of COPD. His sister, Cecilia, did not find out about his death until a year or so later. She picked up his ashes from LA County on May 17, 2006, where they now reside on a shelf in her home next to their mother's ashes.


    Birth:
    Social Security Death Index is incorrect if it says the 17th

    Buried:
    on this day I brought Michael's ashes to my home. They reside on the shelf next to our mother's ashes.

    Died:
    Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center; pneumonia due to COPD. He also was suppering from hypertension. (high blood pressure)

    Notes:

    Harold Obenland was born in Birmingham, Alabama on July 3, 1905. His parents were Gustave Franklin Obenland and Anna Veronica Malarkey. (Also spelled at times Malarky, Mullarkey, etc.) Anna's sister, Lauretta Malarkey (Laura) was Harold's Godmother.

    Harold had a child out-of-wedlock, Donald Lee Obenland, who was born July 15, 1925 in Oakland, California. The mother's name was Mary Jane Flaugher, as per the birth certificate. For 30 years, Harold's daughter, Cecilia, has searched for Donald. Please see his memorial for Donald's story.

    Harold married Mildred Lovena Whaley Smalley on March 24, 1935. They later divorced.

    On June 30, 1940, he married Geraldine Cecilia Huston, from Los Angeles. They were married in Yuma, AZ. Two children were born to them: Michael Edwin Obenland (11/19/1947) and Cecilia Ann Obenland (4/23/1949). Harold and Geraldine later divorced, which was final on March 3, 1953. However, they had been living apart for some time prior to that.

    On Oct. 23, 1954, Harold married Dorothy Fern Watson in Lakewood, California. They had one child, Laurie Lynn Obenland, born in 1956. Their divorce was final in either 1958 or 1959.

    Harold went to work in 1957 for North American Aviation, Inc in their Autonetics Division. On June 14, 1957 he completed a "Department ofDefense Personnel Security Questionaire." (Form DD48) He also signed Form DD48-1, "Certificate of Nonaffiliation with Certain Organizations." Listed on this form were more than a page (in small print!), listing organizations the Attorney General had "designated has having interests in conflict with those of the United States." This questionaire also states, "Security classification of materials or information employee will have access to: SECRET."

    The DD 48 says, "Security classification of materials or information employee will have access to: SECRET" and "Contract number under which the employee is to be cleared: NAVAHO AF-33 (600) - 28469." I couldn't find much about this contract on the internet. What I did find was that it pertained to "Guided Missile Project MX-770, worked on by North American Aviation, Missile Development Division in Downey, CA in the mid to late 1950's." However, Wikipedia states, "Officially, the program was canceled on 13 July 1957, after the first four launches ended in failure. In reality the program was obsolete by mid-1957 as the first Atlas ICBM began flight tests in June and the Jupiter and Thor IRBMs were showing great promise. These ballistic missiles however would not have been possible without the liquid fuel rocket engine developments accomplished in the Navaho program. The launch of the Soviet Satellite Sputnik in October 1957 only finished Navaho as the Air Force shifted its research money into ICBMs. But the technologies developed for the Navaho were reused in 1957 for the development of the AGM-28 Hound Dog, a nuclear cruise missile which entered in production in 1959."

    However, a book, "US Air Force Tatical Missiles, 1949-1969" by George Mindling and Robert Bolton, states on pages 57-58 that the MX-770 project produced the SM-64 Navajo Missile. I don't know for how long it was in use. I do know that Harold worked for North American Aviation until his retirement, which was probably about 1970.

    Harold's last wife was Myrtle Ann Thompson. They were married in 1959. Their marriage announcement was in the Los Angeles Times on Dec. 13, 1959. They were still married and living in Weldon, CA when Harold died.

    He was first buried in Kern River Valley Cemetery. Later, Myrtle had him moved to Holy Cross Cemetery where his mother and Aunts are buried. I don't know why Myrtle did that...maybe so she and her last husband could be buried together.

    Harold was a jeweler like his father for a time and even owned a store on Baldwin Ave. in Arcadia, CA while married to Geraldine. Later, he worked for North American Aviation, in Long Beach, CA. Harold was an avid camper and fisherman and spent many vacations in the Sierra Nevada mountains. And yes, he was a ladies man! His cousin Mary called him a "Vagabond Lover."

    NOTE for Oct 11, 2012: I've finally uncovered Marion Flaugher and her son, Donald's stories. I'm not too keen about my Dad right now. I'm disgusted that he was 20 and got a 16 year old girl pregnant. Did he know about the pregnancy? Did Marion tell him? I wish I knew.

    NOTE: In August, 1961, Harold filed for divorce from Myrtle, but they later reconciled. (The Independent; Long Beach, CA, page 54, column 3).

    Notes:


    Geraldine was born in Los Angeles in 1915. Her parents were James Lee Huston and Emma Cecilia Bachmann Howe. (The Bachmann was Emma's name at birth; Howe was her last name by adoption.) Geraldine had one brother, James Francis Huston.

    Geraldine's father was a traveling salesman and her mother Emma kept house.

    Geraldine's brother James was a musician, playing trumpet with pal Phil Harris back in the 1930's in the Los Angeles area. (The Phil Harris who sang "The Bear Necessities" in the cartoon, The Jungle Book.) James, or Jimmie, as his family called him, committed suicide just off CA 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) near the Malibu pier in 1937. Back then it was called Roosevelt Highway.

    Geraldine grew up in Southern California. At one time she lived on Beachwood Dr, in Hollywood, near the big "Hollywood" sign. She told her daughter, Cecilia, how they would go to the beach to a fancy place called the Edgewater Club. (Location unknown.)

    Geraldine was married to George David Adamson on March 2, 1933 in Los Angeles County, CA. They divorced in 1939 in Los Angeles County, CA (#3180546)

    On June, 30, 1940, Geraldine married Harold Edwin Obenland, of Los Angeles, in Yuma, AZ. There were two children from this marriage: Michael Edwin and Cecilia Ann. The couple made their home in Arcadia, CA. Geraldine and Harold's divorce was final on March 3, 1953.

    During her lifetime, Geraldine worked as a bacteriologist, bookkeeper, drapery sewer and even a donut maker at Winchell's. Times were tough because both of her children suffered from severe asthma and it was hard for Geraldine to keep a job when she was always having to rush the kids to the emergency room.

    At one time, in about 1962, Geraldine was out of money, so she wrote bad checks to feed her family. She was eventually arrested and actually taken to the jail in Arcadia, where she and her children lived. Her daughter can still remember the minute Geraldine decided to do that. They were walking home along Duarte Rd in Arcadia. Michael came to meet them and got upset when his mother said she had no money for food. Geraldine told her daughter, "I know what I have to do." To this day, Cecilia regards her mother as a heroine even though writing bad checks is illegal.

    Geraldine always warned her two children about the "green eyed monster", and had lots of sayings that she used often. She would say, "Pride goeth before a fall" and "You can't get blood out of a turnip." She'd say this during hard times...unfortunately, the landlord couldn't get blood out of a turnip, but he sure could kick us to the curb! My favorite saying Geraldine used was, "That's a bunch of hooey!"

    Geraldine died in a convalescent hospital in Monrovia, CA after a long bout with cancer. She was only 53. Her ex-husband, Harold paid for the funeral arrangements. During the funeral, he told their daughter, Cecilia that Geraldine was the only woman he had ever loved.


    Buried:
    Pasadena Mausoleum. Even though her ex-husband paid for "permanent storage," in 2004 I found her ashes had been stored in the basement of the cemetery for the last 35 years. I brought the ashes home where they how reside in my living room.
