Christina, Still working on Burchfield. Stutz: Buried at Ames Cemetery: Stutz, Norman 1-14-1878 - 2-3-1948 Stutz, Edward 12-28-1842 - 8-14-1907 Stutz, Christina 8-22-1843 - 11-24-1906 I could not find obituaries for any of them. The newspapers that would have the obits for Edward & Chiristina are missing from the microfilm. You might check the Enid newspapers through the Garfield Co. Genealogical Society. Wish I could have been more help. Pat Weaver

I understand that you have information about William Burchfield in your book. Kathie Stutz

William C Burchfield is the son of Samuel Charles Burchfield and Sarah Ellen Mason. He is a brother to John Edward Burchfield who married my grandfather's sister, Edith Viola Coulter. A 1907 map of Major County shows several Burchfields living north of Ames. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okmajor/majortwp.htm. There is also an out-of-print book entitled: The Mason-White Family History by James M Freed, which gives info about many of the Burchfields in Major County, OK.

Does anyone recognize this name? Olie married W. C. Burchfield probably in Ames or Enid. Her parents were Earnest and Minnie Weibel who lived in Ames and later moved to start their dairy bars in Enid, Oklahoma.

Do you know who she, Mary, married?

No, that is not the one I'm looking for. This Mary's maiden name was Ollenberger & was from KS. I think after she married she moved to CO. She is much younger than Mary Just.

According to the Ollenberger Org website there was a Mary Just who married Albert Ollenberger. Maybe Just in a typo or the names changed here in American. The Ollenbergers spelled there name every which way, even in the same generation. Here's their info: Albert Charles OLLENBERGER b: September 09, 1895 Woods Co, OK d: June 19, 1994 Mary Edna JUST b: January 21, 1900 Isabella, OK m: July 08, 1917 Belco, Beaver Co., OK d: June 1985

Do you know if there is a Mary Ollenberger in the family who would be about 58 yrs. old & lived in Grenola, KS in the late 1950's? I believe the Elizabeth Lust who was married to Ollenberger was my grandmothers cousin.

Have you seen the site for the Ollenb*ger Org. It is located at http://cla.umn.edu/clanet/marko/. It has been very helpful. Let them know if you find the marriage date and location for Carl L. & Elizabeth Lust. Thanks for responding to my message.

Elizabeth Lust's father is John Peter Lust who is a brother to my gggrandfather Henrich. They are German's from Russia, the Ollenberger's are too, I believe. Elizabeth's mother is Elizabeth Gerlitz. She has 5 sisters. sassy_here@hotmail.com wrote: > My husband is a descendant of Johann Ollenborger. This is in his family tree: > Carl L.

Seeking more information about my great grandparents. They moved from Fawn River, MI and settled in Orienta, OK. Eligah died in Orienta on Feb. 27, 1895. He is buried in a small cemetery. My great grandmother, Elizabeth (Webber) then moved to Clearwater, KS. We believe at least one of their children is also buried at Orienta. A number of years ago, Mrs. Hall, an Orienta resident, helped my Aunt find the cemetery. Thank you.

No one I talked to for 2 months knew anything about North Hope Field! Lucked out today - there is an article in tomorrow's Fairview Republican about a granite marker erected to mark the site of the Sud Hoffnungsfeld (South Field of Hope) Church. I called the people who were in charge of erecting the monument and found out when the Mennonites came in 1893, they divided into 2 groups because it was too far to travel to have 1 church; thus became the South Mennonite Brethren Church (where the Schales are buried) and the North Mennonite Brethren Church (where the Ollenbergers are buried) - south being the South Field of Hope and the North being the North Field of Hope or directly translated "Hoffnungsfeld=Hope Field." (They later rejoined and became the Fairview Mennonite Brethren Church.) So-------------yes, Johan "Heinrich or Henry" Ollenberger was buried in the North Mennonite Brethren Church Cemetery--but I don't have him listed in our Cemetery records. Maybe the grave isn't marked? Will see if I can find out. You said you have a copy of Johan's obit. I'd appreciate a copy if you could send one, to put in the library's obit file. I couldn't find one although I looked at the newspaper microfilm. Our address: Major Co. Genealogical Society, PO Box 74, Fairview, OK 73737. I may have an Ollenberger descendant for you who lives here in Fairview. Will e-mail you personally if I find him. Good Luck and Thanks. Pat Weaver, Major Co. Genealogical Society

Christina was visiting about five of her children in Oklahoma when she died at of a heart attack at a railroad crossing when the train's whistle spooked the horse and caused the buggy to overturn. She died on November 24, 1906 in Ames or Enid. If someone could lookup her obituary I would greatly appreciate it and be willing to pay for services. shadykatie@netzero.com
