Message Board Post:
I have recently been looking at this family. The ancestor I am looking for is named Osa
Elbel, born Oct 1867 and married Lena Dearmen at Portage, St. Joseph,on 4 November 1888.
I am wondering if Osa could be a shortened version of Oswald, Cora's older brother.
They had one daughter, Minnie E. Elbel, born March 1889. Lena remarried on 16 October
1897 and I see Oswald married 15 June 1895 to Lottie Tennant. Which by the way shows
Christiana maiden name as Uhl. Lena shows 3 children with 2 surviving on the 1900 census
so there is a good possibility that there was a second child with Osa. Do you have any
information regarding Oswald that would make or break the Osa-Oswald connection? I do have
a picture of Osa.
