  • Notes 
    • Little Agnes's middle name was Brooklyn because she was the first child born in the new 31st ward in Brooklyn after some city consolidation had been done.

      Her birth was written up in the Kings County Journal at the time and then the story was repeated in the May 2, 1900 issue of the Brooklyn Eagle. It was reported that the Excise Commissioner, George B. Forrester, "felt so elated" that he gave the baby a $5 gold piece.

      Agnes had one brother, Charles, born two years after her. Agnes and her family lived in Brooklyn, on Coney Island. Her father was an inspector for the railroad while her mother took care of the home and family.

      Agnes and her parents and brother were living at 22 Surf Avenue during the 1910 Census. Her father worked at the Culver Depot, for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. The family also lived at the depot.

      This is right in the heart of Coney Island. Imagine growing up there like the Obenland children did! They lived and played right across the street from the Dreamland Amusement Park, the Iron Tower and the Iron Pier and just down the street from Steeplechase Park and Luna Park, with its many amusements and thousands of electric lights. It was an exciting place for a child, with throngs of people watching the parades up and down Surf Avenue.

      In about 1917, Agnes married Arthur Morrell Toppin.
      Arthur worked for as an office manager for a tugboat company. The couple had one child, a son they named Arthur Charles Toppin, born February 21, 1921 in Brooklyn, New York.

      In the 1930 Census, Arthur and Agnes were living at 1427 E. 4th Street in Brooklyn. They owned the property, which at that time was valued at $8,000.

      Agnes passed away on October 24, 1977 in Nassau County, New York. She was living in Wantagh at the time of her death. Her funeral services were at the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hicksville, New York on October 26, 1977. She was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Brooklyn the next morning, the 27th.
