Looking for family members of Adolph Tauber d McMinnville, Oregon 1969
I am related to Adolph Tauber by my Mother Elvene Eiding. Her mother was Martha Tauber and a sister to Adolph. I was curious about their living relatives. Also am wondering if they were Jewish. Thanks very much, Joyce O'Dell-Lehmer

You know that Adolph TAUBER passed away at McMinnville Oregon in 1969. brother of Martha TAUBER -
Do you have an Obituary - for Adolph TAUBER ? - this may show names and locations of other family members at the time.

Re: Looking for family members of Adolph Tauber d McMinnville, Oregon 1969
I've found some information about Adolph and am attaching some items of interest. Unfortunately, Alberta puts no records online so it limits searching.
The Tauber family is listed as Lutheran on all documents. No evidence of them being Jewish and did not find anyone Jewish marrying into the family.
Adolph Carl Tauber was born 16 September 1885. He gave Sedlez as his place of birth but there is no such place. The person taking the information probably spelled it phonetically. The closest I could come to it was Siedlce, which is pronounce sort of like Sedlez. and is only about 30 miles from Węgrów, Poland where some of his siblings were born. His parents were Johann TAUBER and Maria OHLKE to whom a total of 14 children were born, though all did not survive. The family arrived at Ellis Island in 1908 and made their way Alberta where they lived at Cooking Lake.
Adolph married Olga DIEWERT around 1914 in Alberta. Olga was born 14 March 1894 in Volhynia, Russia. They had two children: Herman James Tauber born about 1915 and Wanda Tauber born about 1918.
Something happened to Olga and in the 1921 Canadian Census she is a patient in the Provincial Mental Hospital in Ponoka, Alberta. I cannot find confirmation but it looks like she died there.
One of Adolph's sisters, Adella, married Edward Diewert, brother of Olga. Adella died 14 November 1981 in Kelowna, BC.
In July 1920, the two children, Herman and Wanda, entered the US at Eastport, Idaho with their Aunt Hilda (another of Adolph's sisters) and their aunt Adella, her husband Edward Diewert and their five children. They were going to Dallas, Oregon where some Diewerts already lived. The two children's passage was paid by Adolph but it doesn't indicate where he was. They listed their closest relative in Canada as their mother, Olga, in Ponoka.
In the 1930 US census, Adolph, Herman and Wanda are living on a farm on the Westside Highway in Whiteson, Oregon.
On 4 July 1933, Herman James Tauber was killed in a car crash.
In April 1942 Adolph completed his WWII "Old Man's Draft" registration. He gave his address as Route 1, Amity, Yamhill and his contact person as Miss Wanda Tauber, 117 3rd Street, Corvallis.
Adolph was naturalized an American citizen in 1946 in Oregon, case #443.
I've found some newspaper articles in the Oregon Statesman about a Wanda Tauber that is the right age and living in the right places. The first is in 1954 when she'd been in some trouble with the law. The second are ads during 1962 offering housework services. The last is 1964 when she was in a car accident and hospitalized with a broken leg.
On 15 April 1966 Adolph married Sylvia Kerr Darbison. He was 80 and she was 78. He died three years later on 25 November 1969 in McMinnville.
Hope that information helps.
Cheers,
Soosi

In addition, there is a marriage for a Wanda Tauber to a Harry Williams in Marion County Oregon, December 15, 1964 This may be her grave- I wonder if Albers was her middle name, or her survivors misunderstood the spelling of her surname? http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=79...

Re: Looking for family members of Adolph Tauber d McMinnville, Oregon 1969 TAUBER, Olga 1936
Searched Find a Grave online - Found a burial Olga TAUBER b ? dcd 1936 Burial: Forest Home Cemetery - Ponoka Alberta
Registration of Death - from Govt of Alberta Vital Statistics Registry Dept - in Edmonton Alberta will show all personal information as required - and as known to the Informant If the Informant was an official - of a hospital etc - they seldom provide all of the information as shown in the hospital files about the deceased.

The book "New Sarepta: Looking Back " lists a Friedrich Eidick married to Martha Tauber. It says that in 1919 they moved to Dallas Oregon and in 1938 they returned to the Looma district of Alberta . One of the six children is Elvine. You say your mother's name was Eiding. Another item written by Reinhold (Ron) Eidick who was a brother to Elvine has and uses the same last name as Eideck. Is the book wrong? Did your mother change her last name before marriage?

Re: Looking for family members of Adolph Tauber d McMinnville, Oregon 1969
Thank you so much for your info on the book. I downloaded it and have been skimming through it. I found Uncle Ronald's message. He spelled the last name the correct way. When they arrived in the states, the name was not understood and it was incorrectly spelled Eiding. So for years that was the name they used. I have been correcting it and see that he spelled it properly. However, he was not married for 45 years. He was a bachelor all his life until his last few years. My Mom went to his wedding and then his wife died after a couple of years. They were only married a short time. My Mom's name was misspelled twice in the book. She may have invented her own spelling. I didn't find anything about the person I was looking for, Adolph Tauber. Joyce
