Weekly column sharing birth, marriage, and death events for people in my family tree.

Polly Ann WEBSTER – is my 3rd great-grandaunt.  According to family documents, she was born on 15 September 1830 in Michigan and died on 12 March 1910 in Michigan.  I actually have a letter somewhere written by her (to her sister Sarah, I think, can’t remember for sure) that I hope to transcribed sometime soon.

John Francis CAHILL – My paternal grandfather, John, was born on 12 June 1922 in Aurora, Illinois.  He died when I was seven-years-old on September 16, 1984.  Much of my research lately has been focused on him and his time in WWII.

Charles STOFFEL – According to my grandmother’s handwritten notes, Charles, my great-great-grandfather was born on 16 September 1855 in Frankfort, Germany.

Elmer W F TRAPP – Elmer was my 2nd cousin twice removed.  He was born on 7 August 1919 in Cook County, Illinois.  He died on 17 September 1968.

James Norton GARRISON – According to family documents, my great-granduncle, James, was born on 19 September 1895 in Canada.

Ethel Mary ROTTMAN & George W COSTER – Ethel was my 1st cousin twice removed.  She married George on 21 September 1920 in Iowa.  Oddly enough, Ethel was the sister of Clarence (above), who married Margaret Alma COSTER, George’s sister.
