  • Notes 
    • Jennie was the daughter of John and Anna Strachan. John was a sergeant in the New York City Police Department. Besides Jennie, the couple had at least one other daughter, Martha. The 1900 Census shows that John's nephew, Floyd, was also living with them at that time. Jennie married Gustave Obenland in Kings Co., NY, on Aug. 23, 1900. Their marriage certificate number is 5063. They had at least one son, George G. Obenland and one daughter, Dorice. Her husband was a house painter, while Jennie kept house for the family. In 1918, Jennie lived with their son at 1952 E. 9th St., Brooklyn, NY. At that time, her husband, Gustave, was a patient at the Brooklyn State Hospital. His WWI draft registration states that he was disqualifed for military service due to a "mental disease." The 1920 Census shows Gustave a patient at the same hoipital. At the same time, Jennie and her two children were living with her parents, John and Anna Strachan. Their address was 2339 Coney Island Avenue. Jennie was working as a cashier, at a place having to do with "bathing." I bet she worked on the beach for a company that had a bathing area for tourists. Jennie died in April, 1963. She was buried on April 17, 1963 in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY in the Strachan family lot. There are 9 other Strachans buried there. Her son, George G. Obenland, is also buried in the same lot, as is her mother Anna and father John. NOTE: Jennie is listed in the cemetery records as Jennie B. Oberland. So is her son, George. Unfortunately, their last name is misspelled on the tombstones too. Buried Green-Wood Cemetery Brooklyn Kings County New York, USA Plot: Lot 15190, Section 188
