I've "rescued" a beautiful old photograph identified as the home of Frank &
Mary OLSON KAMMERER at 2105 Washington Avenue, Racine, WI. A note on the
back indicates that Mary was the daughter of Soren and Sena OLSON and a
sister to Martin OLSON, and also Aunt to Lucille OLSON KENNETH MUNGER
GORDON. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following
information regarding this family:
Mary Cristena or Chris OLSON or OLSEN was b. 1869 to parents Soren and Sarah
OLSON or OLSEN and she married Frank A. KAMMERER (b. abt 1864 in Racine, WI
- son of Frank KAMMERER and Mary or Susan JETTER) on 14 Jun 1887 in Racine,
WI. Frank was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Josephine;
Robert; Amelia F.; Frank A.; Minnie; Lulu; Charles G.; Willie; and Edward
KAMMERER, all born between 1858 and 1877. Mary and Frank had 2 children,
Leland Frank and Marie W. KAMMERER born in 1889 and 1899 respectively.
I also find record of Soren OLSON and his wife Sarah CHRISTENSEN whose
daughter Emily M. OLSON married William Henry RICHARDSON (son of John String
RICHARDSON and Caroline Ane BUTTERWORTH) in Racine, WI on 23 Jun 1896.
