Notes
When researching my family in 1979, I accidentally found that a Donald Obenland was born to my father, Harold Edwin Obenland and a "Mary Jane" Flaugher. (See my memorial to Donald linked to this memorial below).
I looked and looked and never found Donald until after he died in 2003. I had also been looking for his mother, but also to no avail. There were Flaughers listed as living in the bay area of California, but I couldn't pin-point Mary Jane's family. Then last year, I found two newspaper articles mentioning a Marion Flaugher, who was the correct age for Mary Jane, who had lived in Richmond, California and had had a son named Donald. So, Mary Jane Flaugher was really Marion Flaugher!
From there, I found that her parents were Julius Lord Flaugher and his wife, Nellie George. In fact, in the 1940 Census, I located Julius and Nellie in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. Living with them was their grandson, Donald "Abenland."
From there I found that a Marion Hubbart had died in 1981 in San Diego, California. The California Death Index listed her father's last name as Flaugher and her mother's maiden name as George.
I haven't found another definite record for Marion between the newspaper article in 1927 and her death record in 1981. I did, however, find a record of a marriage between a Marion Flaugher and a Fred B. Campbell on Feb. 28, 1934 in Seattle, Washington. The age is correct, but there is no way of knowing if this is the correct person.
UPDATE #1: I received an email in August, 2013 regarding Marion. A distant relative gave me the information that her father was not Julius Flaugher, even though that last name was used in all of the newspaper articles and on Donald's birth certificate. Whether Julius Flaugher adopted Marion is unknown at this time. Julius's memorial is number 28545591.
Marion's real father was Stacy Honor Pigott. He and Nellie, Marion's mother, were married in Kane County, Illinois on June 21, 1899. At first I was skeptical, but then I remembered that one of Donald's roommates told me that Donald talked about a sister with the last name of Pigott, who lived in the bay area of California. I want to thank Cheryl Rene for the information and for the two other newspaper articles on Marion and her abandonment of Donald. Look at that, I now have a picture of Donald as a baby and one of his young mother.
I'm at a loss as to whether to change this memorial to Marion Piggott Hubbart. Since it seems as though she used the last name of Flaugher, I think I'll keep it the way it is and just add another memorial with her birth name and cross reference it to this.
More research is needed. I'm interested in finding out if this sister had any children who might still be around.
If anyone out there knows anything about Donald or his mother or family, please contact me!
