Pamela and Hans The only thing that I have found so far, is in the San Francisco Chronicle 1899-01-04 p 12, c 4; Ostergard, in this city December 30, Thomas Ostergard, a native of Denmark, aged 52 years. Not much, tried the S.F. Call of January 1899, and is not listed, will try the other papers and see if there is anything more.
