I am researching Emma CARLE (or possibly CARL) of Logansport, IN. The only
info I have on her is that she married a John BROWN Apr 22, 1897, and had a
son, Frederick BROWN. John BROWN evidently died within months of the wedding
(July), leaving her a widow before the child was born.
Emma and her son later moved to Fort Wayne, IN, and on June 6, 1900, married
Patrick KELLY (or KELLEY), and lived there the rest of her life. In the
church records for her marriage to Patrick, it indicates in nearly illegible
handwriting (and in Latin, to boot) that her parents were Frederick CARL and
Margarita (I'm presuming Margaret) ??--looks like RUSBERGER, but the "u" is
dotted like an "i" so I am not sure about the mother's maiden name. In the
notes for the Fort Wayne marriage register, it also mentioned that she was a
widow (she was listed as Emma BROWN).
At any rate, does anyone in the Logansport area have access to a marriage
index that would show her parents' names for her marriage to John Brown? I
am trying to verify her parents' names, and that's the only idea I've come
up with. Of course, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd welcome hearing
them...and also hearing from anyone also researching this line.
Thanks in advance --Jacqi
