You wouldn't happen to be related to a Catherine Metzger (not sure how the name is suppose to be spelled) that married Herman May? She was born in Bavaria (Bayern), Germany around 1833.

Thank you for replying so quickly.

I do not think they are a match. My Carl married Olla Marshall in Michigan, then travelled around the States, where ever the Y.M.C.A. sent him. That's why all their children were born in various States.

Thank you for help, I appreciate it very much.

I have a Carl Metzger son of Simon Luther Metzgar and ?? Ridge. He married Rosina Violet Mattic. Simon was born 27 Aug 1886 in Mound City, Holt County, MO and died 6 May 1956 in Sangudo, Alberta, Canada.

The marriage was in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 1 Jul 1915. This family tree was obtained by my fourth cousin and I may not have the complete information. Reply to my email if you think there is a match.

Hello from Ontario; Do any of your Metzger etc. meander over to Michigan around 1890. I am searching for Carl Metzgar. He was born in Michigan in 1890 and married my cousin, Olla Marshall, between 1910 and 1916 there. They had four children born in South Dakota, Illinois and Michigan. I would appreciate any help in filling in the gaps.

I am looking for any information concerning Olla Marshall and her husband Carl Metzgar or Metzer. She was born in Ontario in 1890 and died in California in 1971. Carl was born in Michigan in about 1890. I don't have any information concerning their marriage. They had one daughter and three sons. Daughter Margaret was born in 1918 in Illinois, one son Marshall was born in 1921 in South Dakota, another, Duane was born in 1930 in Michigan. I have no information concerning the third son. Can anyone help me fill in the gaping holes?

Obit: Lillian Kenneson (nee Metzgar)

2003-04-30 03:46:20Z

Albuquerque Journal - April 8 2003

Lillian Kenneson, 53, died Friday, April 4, 2003. Lillian was preceded in death by her mother Prisca Metzgar. Lillian is survived by her father, Alfonso Metzgar, sister, Dorothy Griego; daughter, Natalie Kenneson-Bridwell, David Bridwell; their son, Mark Bridwell as well as many loved ones. Mark is her only grandson; in addition she had three wonderful godchildren each of whom were her pride and joy. Lillian embraced the gift of life, allowing it to serve as a lesson to all who surrounded her. She is a servant of Christ, a steward of hope, and a symbol of unconditional love. All who know Lillian have been blessed as witnesses to a life of Christianity. Her presence reflected an array of beauty. Envision the colors through a stained glass window during sunset and she will be there; smell the life in a botanical garden, and she will be there; hear a symphony and she will be there. She will always be remembered as a host for grace, as one who was concerned for and loved the poor, and one whose strength continuously prevailed for those she loved. Her happiness was a stronghold for all of her family and friends and she will forever be present through spirit and love. Special thanks from Natalie; to all of the staff at Vista Sandia Hospice, as well as Dr. Saiki, and Dr. Ampuero, and each nurse who cared for my mom. All family and friends thank you from the bottom of my heart. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the NM Symphony Orchestra, 3301 Menaul NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107 or to the NM Zoological Society, 1320 Iron SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Lillian will be remembered on Friday, April 11, 2003 with a Rosary at 7:00 p.m., at French Mortuary, University Blvd. Chapel, and a Mass on Saturday, April 12, 2003, at 2:00 p.m., at the Aquinas Newman Center, 1815 Las Lomas Rd.
