Note - I added the parenthetical surname from our current files. However,
I noted
that the PGS reported birth date for Maude A. CARLE differs from that in
our
files by one month (OCT 25, 1888 and our source was Walnut Hill
Cemetery
records from an earlier inquiry; whether this is a typo or not must be
checked).
Also, I noted in the PGS report that two PETERSEN burials were alongside
Maude A. Carle's and there were no PETERSON burials in the report I
received,
though that consisted of excerpts from a larger record. Therefore,
the
spelling of
Maude A. Carle's birth surname should be checked.
Karl,
Maude Peterson is my grandmother as your files should show. I have a
certified copy of her birth certificate with the raised seal and official
signature. I can get the document scanned and sent to you later.
The certificate shows:
Name of Child Peterson, (No first name on this line)
Father Peterson, Isaac White
Mother Anna P White
Date of Birth October 25, 1888
Place of Birth Douglas County, Omaha, 304 Poppleton St.
Filed with local registrar October 30, 1888
Maude's death certificate shows her birth date as NOVEMBER 25, 1888. Here
is the cause of the confusion concerning her date of birth. The birth date
on her death certificate is incorrect.
The 1900 Census of Omaha, Nebraska shows:
Peterson, Isaac S 1869 Married 12 years 31 Illinois
Sweden Sweden
Peterson, Anna July 1873 Married 12 years 26 Bohemia US
1880
Peterson, Maude A Oct 1888 12
Omaha, Nebraska
Peterson, Henry June 1892 8
Omaha, Nebraska
Peterson, May May 1894 6
Omaha, Nebraska
From this information I believe but CANNOT verify that the sisters
Maude and
May married two CARLE brothers. Maude married Charles Carle and May
married
Laurence Carle if my theory is correct. I have tried to obtain an obituary
on May Peterson Carle who died in Council Bluffs, Iowa on December 24, 1933
but have not been successful.
I have no information concerning any children of Laurence and May.
I believe that the Edward W Carle shown buried in Sect 8, Rw 10 is my
grandfather's brother Edward Wilbur Carle who was born 9 Nov 1893 and died
in October 1966.
