Notes:

On June 20, 1895, the Washington Independent, in Pomeroy, WA announced the birth of a daughter to Christian G.E and Minnie (Rehder) Obenland. The paper wrote, "Chris Obenland and wife were made happy on the 15th of this month by the birth of a daughter."

On Dec. 26, 1895, the paper wrote, "The little six month old babe of C. Obenland and wife has gone to spend Christmas in Heaven."

On Dec. 28, 1895, the local paper wrote, "Mr. and Mrs. C. Obenland are mourning the death of their six-month old babe, which occurred last Sunday, Dec. 22, 1895. The funeral services took place Monday afternoon at 2o'clock, Rev. Walden preaching the sermon in the Christian church. In their sad affliction the sorrowing parents have the sympathy of all."

Vera was buried in the Pomeroy City Cemetery, Pomeroy, Garfield County, WA. Her mother followed her in death just 9 months later. They are both buried near Christian.
