  • 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."
