I have some information on the John Clausen family. My great grandmother, Carrie Margaret, was your grandfather's oldest sister. I have his name as Ernest E Clausen. I haven't been able to go back very far on this line.
Parents- John Jacob Clausen b in Germany d Dec 1896, Lowell, IN & Sarah Lucinda Cottrill b.1867 in Illinois, d. Oct 12, 1899 in Brook, Indiana. Married Nov 2, 1886.
Children:
Carrie Margaret, b Jul 29, 1884 Lowell, IN (She was born 2 years before Sarah married John. I haven't been able to find out who her father actually is) d. Oct 1, 1968 in Mulberry, IN
Jessie John Clausen b. Apr 17, 1887 in Lowell, IN d. 1889
Mary Anne b Apr 12, 1889 in Lowell, IN d. Jan 31, 1975 in Lowell, IN
Ernest E b Oct 8, 1890, in Lowell, IN d. Mar 17, 1964 in Canada
Lora Lou b. Jan 1, 1892, in Lowell, IN
Arthur Chester b. Apr 4 1895, in Lowell, IN d. Sep 3, 1966
Otis J, b. Dec 24, 1895 (?) in Lowell, IN
After John died, Sarah married William H. Gordon in 1897. They had a daughter Bessie Elizabeth, b. Nov 20, 1897 in Lowell, IN. d. May 11, 1965 in Huntington, IN
According to my great aunt, William was a heavy drinker and went through all his money. After Sarah died in 1899, he place Bessie with some of his relatives and put all of Sarah's children in an orphanage. After a couple of years, Carrie and Mary were old enough to get out and work. They were able to get the other children out and take care of them. Except for the Ernest & Lora who had been adopted. They did, however, always keep in contact with them.
Sarah's parents were Elisha Cottrill, b. 1832 in Ohio d. June 1, 1919 in Lake County, IN & Mary P. Service, b July 24, 1848 in Ohio, d. May 24, 1914 in Lowell, IN. Married Nov 27, 1870 in Lowell, IN
If you are interested in any more information let me know.
I had been in contact with Laurel Brady in the mid 1980's. and her sister Lucille Shelstad in the late 1970s. How are you related to them?
