In Response To: Info on Arvilla Pohlman? (Janel)

Your great-great grandmother was Frances Arvilla (Broeffle) Pohlman. She was born in May 1870 in Meriden, LaSalle, Illinois. Her father was William Broeffle (born April 1829 in Pennsylvania/New York who died in 1915 in Eagle Grove. His father also came to Wright County. The Broeffle's were German. Her mother was Eliza (Henderson) Broeffle who was born February 1827 in Ireland and died in Eagle Grove in 1906. That accounts for the Irish and the Dutch probably refers to Pennsylvania-Deutsch or German.

Frances Arvilla Broeffle married Charles Pohlman in Wright County. Your grandmother, Arvilla Pohlman Wooster is the daughter of Frances and Charles' daughter Lillie (Pohlman) Olson who died during the flu epidemic (18 October 1919). Her father then married her mother's sister, Tillie Pohlman. Most of them are buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Eagle Grove. Her grandmother Frances Arvilla probably helped raise Arvilla since her mother died when she was six years old and Frances Arvilla lived until 1940.
