She married Ernest August Scharnhorst, a
younger brother of my great grandmother, Julia, sometime between 1900
and 1910, and had a child, Ernest Otto in 1921. The last I know
of them is from the 1930 census, when they lived on land (near Los
Banos) patented by her husband's older brother Louis, who died in
1907. Ernest died in 1907. After his death, she
re-married, but I have (yet) found no information about
that.

Here are two fotos of the gravestone for Albert Scharnhorst, 1863-1899,
buried in the Oakdale Citizens Cemetery. He is the 5th of 10
children of Fred Henry and Josephine Scharnhorst. Father born in
Hanover, and immigrated around 1850. Mother born in California of
parents born in Mexico and California. As far as I know, Albert
never married. He is the younger brother of my gr grandmother
Julia, who married Carl Johann (aka Charles) Ekstedt, had at least a
couple of children in the Oakdale-Stockton area, then migrated to the
Puget Sound area in Washington State.

in California of parents born in Mexico and California. He
married Annie Elizabeth Kattestaart between 1900 and 1910 and had one
child, Ernest Otto, in 1921. He (apparently) took over the Merced
Co land of his younger brother Louis (who died in 1907), but later
lived in O'Neal Township, San Joaquin Co.
