I've "rescued" an old
photograph of G. A. UHRIG of Marysville, MT which appears to have been taken in
the 1890's or early 1900's. G. A. UHRIG appears to be in his 60's at the time
the photograph was taken and he is pictured with an unidentified group including
a woman who might be a wife, about his age, and three others, two men and one
woman, all likely in their 20's to 40's.?
Based on limited research and thanks to an area researcher I have
gathered the following information regarding G. A. UHRIG and his family:
?
Gustave A. UHRIG was b. 23 Dec
1858 in Buffalo or Bennington, NY to parents Joseph UHRIG (1821-1901) and Eva
Barbara Mary MARKERT (1823-1906) who were married 15 Jul 1852 in Boston,
MA.? Gustave was one of 9 children born to
this couple including, Christiana; Joseph; Albert; Gustave A.; Mary Louisa;
Mary Margaret; Caroline H.; Charles Henry; and John UHRIG, all born between
1853 and 1868. Gustave married twice, first to Mary Jane HANNA or HANNER (b.
1860) on 12 Nov 1878 in Black Hawk, IA and they had three children including, Clara
Amanda; Bertha; and Georgia Ann or Annie UHRIG, all born between 1879 and 1886.? His second marriage was to Marie “Mamie” S.
LABROSSE or NELSON (1872-1939) on 27 Jan 1893 in Helena, MT and they had a son,
Joseph Richard UHRIG (1912-1990).?
?
Gustave died 28 Nov 1928 in
Portland, OR and he is buried in the River View Cemetery in Portland, OR.? His obituary lists a daughter, Mrs. James
BORMANN of Jackson, MI; a son Joseph UHRIG of Jackson, MI; a daughter Mrs. Caroline
SCHULTZ of Harrisburg, PA; a daughter Mrs. Mary REEB of Walland, Ontario,
Canada; and a daughter Mrs. Clara KAPPER of Port Colbourne, Ontario, Canada.? Gustave’s first daughter Clara’s first
marriage was to Edmund Julius MEIHOFER or MEYHOEFFER or MEYHOEFER who she
married in 1902 in Nicollet Co. MN and they had a daughter, Gertrude Lenore “May”
in 1904.? They divorced in 1908.?
?
Clara’s daughter May married
sometime before 1926 to Vinton McKinley BECKSTROM in MN and both died in
Corcoran, MN having had three children including, Donald; Corrine Clarice; and Vinton
Guy BECKSTROM all born between 1926 and 1936.Vinton BECKSTROM and his wife Mary
have two daughters, Kristin BECKSTROM RADCLIFF and Lauren BECKSTROM.? Clara UHRIG MEYHOEFER married a second time
to Eduard ROSEMEYER aka Guy Oscar BASYE whose name was changed after his Mother
died and he was adopted out to the BASYE Family.? Gustave’s daughter Georgia married Donald PHILLIPS
in 1904 and they were divorced by 1910 when she married her second husband,
James BORMANN.
?
I am hoping to locate someone
from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family.? If you are a member of this family or you
know someone who might be, please contact me.
?
Thanks,
Shelley
