Notes:

The Golden Book of Ilsfeld lists his birthday as 20 Oct 1841. His obituary lists it as 2 Oct 1841, as does his gravestone. The Ilsfeld book is most likely correct.

Ernst Gottlieb Obenland was born in Ilsfeld, Wurttemburg, Germany to Johannes Obenland and his wife, Luise Barbara Logel.

In 1868, Ernst made the trip to America. The Parish register in Ilsfeld says that he, along with his brothers, Christian Friederich and Gottlieb Friederich, all left in 1872. However, as it pertains to Ernst, the register is incorrect. First, Ernst married Maria Agnes Burkhart on May 26, 1870 in Danvers, McLean County, Illlinois. And second, the 1900 Census says that Ernst arrived in the US in 1868.

The church register is correct regarding Christian and Gottlieb. They came to the United States on the Bremen, arriving in New York on April 16, 1872. For some reason, the records show Ernst and Christian on the passenger list; not Gottlieb. But, because Ernst was married in 1870 in Illinois, I believe the second brother on the list is Gottlieb, not Ernst.

The 1870 Census lists Ernst and Mary living in the home of Gottlieb Rummell in McLean County, Illinois. Ernst was working for the railroad and Mary was a servant. Records in the Circuit Court of McLean County, Illinois, state that Ernst was naturalized on March 19, 1974.

All three brothers settled in Illinois after coming to the United States. Christian married and had a large family, staying in Illinois. Their brother Gottlieb did the same. Ernst and Mary stayed for awhile, then the moved to California.

The 1880 Federal Census shows the family living in Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. At that time they had 5 children: Christian Gottlieb Ernst, Elizabeth Louise, Adolph Emil, Gustave Franklin, and Bertha Rose. Ernst was a farmer while Mary kept house for the family. An agriculture census for the year 1879 shows that Ernst and Mary owned 7 improved acres and 6 unimproved acres of land, the value being $1,000. Their farm implements were valued at $15. The estimated value of farm production "sold, consumed or on hand for 1879" was reported to be $300.

In the fall of 1881, Ernst moved his family to Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington Territory. Their last daughter, Christiana or Anna as she was called, was born there in 1882.

After Mary passed away in 1887, Ernst continued to live in Pomeroy. By 1901, Christian, Elizabeth Louise, and Adolph had married. Anna was in Tacoma, while Gustave and Bertha were living with their father in Pomeroy.

In November 1901, Ernst went to visit his daughter Elizabeth Louise and her husband in Idaho. On his way home, he was taken ill. Ernst's son, Christian, got word that his father was seriously ill, so he made the trip to Lewiston, Idaho. His father died the next day of what the obituary said was a "serious affliction of the stomach." His obituary, dated Nov. 23, 1901 (newspaper unknown) states:

"E.G. Obenland Dead. Monday evening C. Obenland received word that his father way lying, dangerously sick in Lewiston, Idaho. Mr. Obenland immediately started out for Lewiston, arriving there at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. He found that the report concerning his father's condition was not overdrawn. The sick man was suffering from a serious affection of the stomach. He was taken suddenly ill Monday, and kept getting worse in spite of all that could be done, until death came to relieve his suffering, Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the forenoon.

The deceased had been visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Schuck (sic), and was on his way home when he was taken sick. The body was brought to Pomeroy for burial, interment being made in the city cemetery Thursday at 10 o'clock. Rev. E. I. Crawford conducted the services.

Mr. Obenland was born in Germany, Oct 2nd, 1841. At the age of 33 he came to the United States, settling in Illinois. He removed to California where he remained for awhile, coming from there to Pomeroy in the fall of 1881. His wife died her fourteen years ago. He leaves three sons and three daughter, viz: C., G., and A. E. Obenland of Pomeroy. Miss Bertha Obenland of Pomeroy, Mrs. W. A. Schuck (sic) of White Bird, Idaho, and Miss Nannie Obenland of Tacoma, Wash."

Ernst was buried two days later in the Pomeroy City Cemetery next to his wife. It's interesting to note that Ernst's son Gustave died in the same town as his father did, 43 years later.

Notes:

There is a discrepancy as to where they were married. The Illinios Statewide Marriage Index 1763-1900 says they were married in Ford County, Illinois. I then found a record that they were married in St. Peters Church in Champaign County, Illinois. The 1900 Census lists Gottlieb as an invalid. Gottlieb's son Daniel petitioned the court alleging that his father was insane. The jury reached that verdict on June 15, 1911. He was placed in the custody of the sheriff for tranport to Kankakee State Hospital. Gottlieb was admitted there on 16 Jun 1911 and died there in 1916.

Notes:

On September 26, 1877, Gustave Franklin Obenland was born. He was the son of German immigrants Ernst Gottlieb Obenland and his wife, Mary Agnes Burkhart. Gustave, or Gus, as he was called, was born in Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, California.

Sonoma County is sometimes called the Valley of the Moon, or Valley of the Moons. The Miwok tribe named the area "Valley of the Moon" or "Many Moons" because their legends had it that the moon seemed to rise from the valley or may have rose multiple times in just one night.

Gus had five siblings: Christian G.E, Elizabeth Louise, Adolph Emil, Bertha Rose and Anna Agnes. Their father was a farmer while Mary kept house for the family.

In the fall of 1881, Ernst moved his family to Pomeroy, Garfield Co., Washington Territory. The 1898 Census of Garfield County, Washington lists 20 year old Gustave as working as a laborer. Later, he worked as a clerk in a grocery store.

In 1902, Gus went to Philadelphia where he learned the jeweler trade. During his time there, he completed a large pewter engraving that showcased his engraving skills. This engraving is kind of like a sampler that young girls embroidered during the 1700's and 1800's.

While in Philadelphia, Gus met a young seamstress named Anna Veronica Malarkey. He and Anna were married on August 30, 1904 in Anna's hometown of Girardville, Pennsylvania. They had one child, a son they named Harold Edwin, born on July 3, 1905 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Gus and Anna moved around quite a bit during their marriage. Records show them living in Birmingham, Alabama; Shreveport, Louisiana; Ft. Worth, Texas; Everett, Washington; Goldfield, Nevada and Richmond, California.
At one time, Gus owned a jewlery store in Richmond, at 917 McDonald Ave.

On September 12, 1918, Gus registered for the draft of WWI. His registration says that he was of medium height and build, with blue eyes and red hair.

Gus was an avid fisherman, a sport that seemes to run in the family. His brother Adolph and son Harold were all fishermen. Even his great-grandson Keith, born in 1976, also loves to fish. Gus was even arrested in 1924 in Oakland for having taken too many crabs from the ocean. (see attached article). In the 1920's, Gus was an active member of the Richmond Lodge #13, Knights of Pythias. An article in the Oakland Tribune from September 25, 1921, states that he had been elected Prelate of the lodge. I assume this must mean president.

The actual date of Gustave's divorce from Anna is unknown, but it had to have been between 1920 and 1930. They are listed together in at 413 10th Street in Richmond, California during the 1920 Census. The 1930 census shows Gus, as single and living at 925 Roble Ave. in Menlo Park, a city just southwest of Richmond in San Mateo County, California. In that census, Gus owned the house which had a value of $5,000 at that time. Living with Gus was a Hilda Moore, who was his housekeeper. Whether she actually was his housekeeper at that time is unknown. She might have just been living with him as his "paramour".

They eventually did live as man and wife, and Hilda told people that they were married. Letters and depositions in Gus's granddaughter's possession state that prior to his death, Gus had told his brother Adolph that he and Hilda were NOT married, even though she claimed they were. After Gus's death, Hilda claimed she and Gus were married in a town outside of Tiajuana, Mexico. When pressed, she couldn't remember the name of the town, nor could she produce a wedding certificate or any witnesses to the marriage.

In 1943, Gus moved back to Pomeroy, where he had grown up. Hilda went with him. Gus purchased a large Victorian house at 184 8th Street. The purchase price was $2,000. The deed was made September 1, 1943 and recorded in Garfield County on September 16, 1943. (Volume 42, page 303) Two months later, Gus transfered the house to Hilda, with the deed signed on November 3, 1943. The recording date of this deed is unknown at this time.

On March 14, 1944, Gus passed away. He and Hilda had made the trip to Lewiston, Idaho for some errands. While waiting in his car for Hilda to finish her shopping, Gus died. The cause of death on the death certificate says, "patient dead when I arrived. Evidentally due to coronary thrombosis." Gus's residence listed on his death certificate was 681 4th Street in Pomeroy. He was not living in the house on 8th Street when he died. Gus died without a will. At least, that is what Hilda said!

Only ten days after Gus's death, on March 24, 1944, Hilda signed a deed transferring the house on 8th Street to Gus's cousin Ray Shuck and his wife, Zelda. They purchased the house for only $10. This deed was not recorded until July 25, 1944.

In the terms of Anna's divorce from Gus, she was awarded monthly alimony. Gus's son, Harold, fought for part of his father's estate, as his mother, Anna, was owed about $9,000 in back alimony, which was a lot of money in those days.

An affidavit from a George Bromage stated that his ex-wife Ada Bromage was an old friend of Hilda's. Hilda had enlisted the help of Ada Bromage and Zelda Schuck in Pomeroy to help Hilda remove from Pomeroy the cash and jewelry of Gus's estate. Together, the three women smuggled about $35,000 in cash and jewelry from Pomeroy to Mr. Bromage's house in California, just after Gustave's death. Some of the money went to White Bird, Idaho.

In the end, the court awarded Hilda the estate. There was nothing left to be awarded to Anna, as the court valued the estate at under $3,000. This, of course, did not include the cash and jewelry smuggled out of Washington by Hilda and her accomplices, which comprised the bulk of Gustave's estate.

Gus was buried in the Pomeroy City Cemetery. Hilda left Pomeroy shortly after the estate was settled and moved to San Francisco, California. She died two years later. One wonders if she sold the gold and jewelry smuggled out of Washington and what she did with all of the money? Did she die without spending it all? If so, what happened to it?

The Pape Database shows John's death date of Jan. 1, 1965. However, its hard to tell if that is correct or not. They will use the first day of the month on the database if they don't know the exact date. However, since he was buried on Jan. 3rd, its safe to say that he died on the 1st.

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).
