Wobser Family in Ohio

Wobser Family in Ohio

Surnames: Wobser, Mitchell
There hasn't been a post to this board since Nov 2002, but I'm hoping someone will see this. I am trying to trace my great-grandfather's line. HIs name is Herman Wobser. His parents are Charles and Amelia Wendt Wobser. Herman was born 22 Aug 1893 in Venice, Erie, Ohio/ died 1 Sep 1980 in Sylvania, Lucas, Ohio. He married Flossie Annie Mitchell 13 Mar 1918. Flossie was born 18 Feb 1900 in Castalia, Erie, Ohio/ died Jul 1985 in Sylvania, Erie, Ohio. They are both buried in Toledo Memorial Park Toledo, Ohio. They had four children: Arden E., Margaret Etta Mae, Jean Elizabeth (my grandmother), and Jack Glen. Any information on Herman and Flossies families would be welcome. I'm sure I'm related to several of you who have posted on this board, but I wasn't sure if the e-mail addresses listed were still valid since all the posts are so old.

Lori, I have met with other Wobser relatives and we are sure we are all related, but have not been able to figure out just how. We are all related to Erie County (Venice) Ohio Wobsers.
I have Herman C. Wobser born July 22, 1894 in Venice, Ohio and died September 1980 in Sylvania, Ohio. He was the son of Charles August Wobser, Sr. and Amelia (Lena) Mixx Wendt. Charles Sr. was born 3-12-1847 in Hinter Pommern, Germany and died 12-28-1935 in Bay Bridge, Ohio (Bay Bridge is next to Venice, Ohio.). Amelia was the daughter of Christ Wendt and Henrietta Vetler. Amelia and Charles Sr. were married 11-29-1881 in Sandusky, Ohio. Both are buried in the Venice (Margarette Township) Cemetery at the intersection of Ohio Routes 2 & 6.
Charles Sr.'s parents were Albert F. Wobser Sr. and Hannah Bujack. Albert came to the US in 1883. That's are far back as we have been able to trace.
Charles and Amelia had six children:
1. William L. b. July 16, 1883; d. October 10, 1966 in LA
2. Anna Whilhelmia, b. April 10, 1885; d. July, 1960 in Sandusky.
3. Paul Charles (Carl) b. June 7, 1888, d. March 11, 1971 in Sandusky.
4. Martha May, b. May, 1890 ?
5. Charles August Jr., b Feb 27, 1892, d. January 28, 2001 in San Bernadino, CA.
6. Herman C., b. July 22, 1894, d. September 1890- in Sylvania, Ohio.
I have sent an e-mail to the lady who side of the family is closer to yours to alert her to your post. Fell free to contact me directly at the above e-mail address.

This is an old posting so I am not sure that I will hear from you or not. My grandfather was Herman Wobser and my grandmother was Alice Wobser. I can remember your great-grandparents and my grandparents visiting each other occationally. Your greatgrandparents always had a beautiful arrangement of flowers in their front livingroom window! I was very young at the time, but remember your Flossie being a happy, friendly woman with beautiful white hair. I always liked it when they visited my grandparents because they seemed so friendly and 'colorful.'
I am wondering if you were able to find out any family history and am very interestedin finding out what area of Germany there were from.

I believe the Herman Wobser you refer to was born 22 July 1894. Flossie died in Sylvania, Lucas County-not Erie County, Ohio.
Herman's parents were Charles August Wobser, Sr., b 3/12/1847, d 12/28/1935, and Amelia (Lena) Mixx Wendt, b 11-19-1852, d 7-21-1927. Both were born in Hinter Pommern, Germany.
Charles' parents were Albert F. Wobser, Sr. b 6-8-1823, d 6-12-1913 and Hannah Bujack. They had five sons: Charles August Wobser (above, Louis A. Wobser Sr. b 8-1-1850, Albert F Wobser, Jr. b 1-24-1852, Herman (Heinrich) Wobser b 9-4-1856, and Henry William F. Wobser b 7-8-1863. Please contact me at djwobser@aol.com to exchange information.
