Help! Alma Hertel b) 1911 Cook county married unknown Emerson
I am looking for information about Alma Emerson
In the 1920 census Alma was 9 years old...parents Gustav Adolph Hertel/Violet Nelson Chicago, Ward 29, Cook County.
She was born 1911 in Ill.
In 1922 Violet had remarried to a Robert Lawrence Westfall and he adopted all or some of Violet's children.In the 1930 census Alma does NOT show with the Westfall family, but the other children do.
Per Alma's father's obit we know she married an Emerson...
Whether she was still Hertel when she married the Emerson, or had been adopted by Robert Westfall is still unknown.
Here is the obit:
Chicago Tribune 2 Nov 1945
Gustav Adolph Hertel, beloved husband of the late Emily; father of Mrs. Williamena Ryan, Denver, Co. Mrs. Alma Emerson, Harry, Mrs. Eleanor Daniels, Mrs. Margaret Klein, and John. Foster father of Mrs. Florence Hickstein, and Mrs. Edith Gilmore.
If anyone knows about Alma Emerson I sure would like to hear from you.
Thanks alot,
Anna
