Today, we travel to Kingfisher, Kingfisher County, Oklahoma (only about 30 miles) to look for records for Christian and Katharina Ortner (George C.'s parents). That is where their homestead was located. But before we leave, I want to give you just a glimpse into the family of George and Maria. The picture above of George and Maria, we got from great grandson, Donnie Scheffler. Our thanks to Donnie and Janice for several pictures they loaned us to scan.
By the way, did I tell you George and Maria had a large family? The picture below was taken at a family reunion in 1931, the year that Alton and Emma Ortner Hughes and children were home on furlough from China where they were missionaries. Can you find them?
