I am pretty I would be getting a divorce from the nag if it were me, but that's also his story.

He was married to Anna Dorothea Ostermann (1894-1950) the 24 May 1937 in Alameda County, CA. They had no children. She voted as a Republican in 1920.

In 1920 they lived at 1539 11th Ave Alameda, California, USA and she moves in 1923 to 23054 Central Ave A Oakland, CA. I didn't find any evidence of divorce but they may have.

I am thinking they may have married each other twice, as the 1920 census says his was is Anna D Ekle.

The 1930 census he claims to be single but the 1940 census he is married to Anna D Ekle. They might have seperated a few times.

A;va died 7 Feb 1969 in Calaveras County, California, he was buried in Lodi, CA in that county.
