Seattle 1918 ish. > First, here is the WWII records of Walter A. Taubeneck: http://snohomishhistory.com/war/wwiimsvlt.html#taubeneckW WWI Enlistment of Alfred W. Taubeneck http://www.thirdstbooks.com/msvlww1.html Here is Steven Taubeneck, a professor of Germanic studies, University of British Columbia. He has numerous studies in WWI and German association. He may be (probably is) a relative and may know or have contacts that can solve your riddle. http://www.german.ubc.ca/web/000027.htm As far as Oscar. I found him...barely in genealogical records, nothing concerning your query. He did live in Snohomish County, that's for certain. As far as your query, during WWI, an American with German parents, refusing to serve, making/issuing "propaganda" would be suspicious and may have been detained. Good Luck Ron Bestrom Findings: The World War I draft registration images show five Taubeneck. Three were in Clark County, IL, Carl, Everett and Otto Clark; one in Kansas, Earl Robert; and one in Snohomish Co, WA, Alfred W. All were born in Illinois. Alfred was a clerk with the Great Northern Railroad in Marysville. He was single, born Feb 3, 1895 in Ernst, IL. He was medium in height, brown eyes, dark brown hair. The 1870 census does have an Oscar Taubeneck, born about 1869, living in Darwin township, Clark County, IL. Son of Otto and Emma. He had five siblings, all older, a sister Emma 17, sister Natalia 3. (In 1910, Otto was still living, Natalia was living in the house) The 1910 census listed eight Taubeneck, all living in Clark County, IL --1910 census: I did find an Oscar U. "Taubemark" living in Irving Pct, Snohomish County, WA, born about 1869 in Illinois, possibly the Oscar Taubeneck in the 1870 census. But, there seems to be a computer problem with his record. To view the record, it shows an Oscar Taube, born 1894 in Lancaster Pct, Cowlitz Co. To view the image, The 1920 census listed 16 Taubeneck, five in Fresno, three in Darwin, Illinois, and James and Mary and family in Marysville, Snohomish Co, WA. James was 49 (1871), born in IL. The 1930 census has Oscar U. Taubeneck (transcribed as Oscar N. Tanbenick) living in District 12, Mabena Township, Island County, WA. He was 60, single, born in Illinois, parents born in WA, laborer in a lumbermill. The Washington Death Index shows nine Taubeneck deaths, Mary was 8 July 1945 in Snohomish Co, then Alfred in 1968. Mary, probably the wife of James The WDI shows an Oscar U. Taubenak, death 13 June 1947 at 77 (1869/70), death in Snohomish Co. This is probably your Oscar. With death in 1947, his obit "probably not" will have any info on WWI beliefs or activities.
