52 Ancestors Friday - Charles Auble (1849-1916)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  Here is my ancestor biography for week #7:

Charles Auble (1849-1916) is #14 on my Ancestor Name List, and is my great-grandfather.  He married #15, Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) in 1898.



 I am descended through:

*  their daughter, #7 Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977), who married 1918 #6 Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976)
*  their daughter, #3 Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002) who married 1942 Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
*  their son, #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)


To create this post, I made an Individual Summary report in RootsMagic 6, then saved it into an RTF file.  I then copied and pasted the Person, the Individual Fact List, the Marriages/Children, the General Notes, and the Source Citations into this blog post.  Unfortunately, the source citations superscripts did not survive this process as superscripts, so I put them in brackets in the Individual Facts list below, and without brackets in the Source Citation list.  I have images of many of these records, but have not included them in this blog post due to the length of the post.  Many of them have been transcribed or shown in Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts.

In the 1897 Chicago City Directory, Charles Auble resided at 414 W. Monroe in Chicago [12].

While in Chicago, he met his future wife, Georgianna Kemp (usually called Georgia), and romanced her with poems and flowers.  They married on 19 June 1898 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin [2].  The transcription of the marriage record for Charles Auble and Georgia Kemp is:

In the 1909 Chicago City Directory, Charles Auble, a painter, lived at 611 West 76th Street in Chicago [15].

In the 1910 U.S. census, the Charles Auble family resided at 611 West 70th Street in the 32nd Ward of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.  The household included [8]:

The family moved to San Diego, California in about 1911, probably to be near Georgia's brothers, James and Franklin.  Charles was a painter and interior decorator, and a picture of the home in San Diego at 767 14th Street has a sign outside that reads "Painting" and "Decorating." He used the basement of the house as his studio.

In the 1913, 1914 and 1915 San Diego City Directories, Charles Auble, a painter, and Georgia resided at 767 14th Street in San Diego [16-18].  

Charles suffered a fall three months before his death, and died of cystitis caused by a ruptured gall bladder from the fall [20].

Charles was a man who liked strong drink, and apparently lied about his age throughout his marriage (e.g., he is listed as age 35 in the 1900 U.S. census, age 54 in the 1910 U.S. census, and as age 61 on his death certificate in 1916).  In his later years, he was portly, bald, and wore a mustache.

Three obituaries for Charles Auble were published in the newspapers:

a.  From the San Diego Union newspaper, dated Friday, 25 March 1916, page 10 in the DEATHS" section [9]:

b.  From the labor newspaper, The Labor Leader, in San Diego (a clipping).  It reads [21]:

" Charles Auble, Old Time Painter, Dead

"Charles Auble, an old time member of the Painter's Union, died Thursday night at his home, 767 Fourteenth street. He leaves a widow, Georgia, one daughter, Emily, to mourn his departure.

c,  From the labor newspaper, The Labor Leader, in San Diego (a clipping). It reads [21]:

"Honor the Memory of Departed Brother

"Painters' Union No. 333, Adopt Resolutions of Condolence in Memory of Charles Aubell -- Was Old and Honored Member

"A committee of Painters' Union No. 333 submitted the following resolutions in honor of the memory of Charles Aubell, one of the old and honored members of the Painters' union, who died March 23, and were adopted at the meeting of the Painters' union Monday night.

" 'To the Officers and Members Local Union No. 333

" 'Your committee on resolutions of condolence on the death of our late brother, Charles Aubell, beg leave to submit the following:

"'Whereas, Nature's law requires that we, each and every one of us, sooner or later, go into transition, commonly known as and called death, thereby relieving us of all earthly cares and burdens we might have been carrying, leaving family and friends to mourn our passing, in accordance with the degree in which we were environed, and

"'Whereas, In accordance with that inexorable law, the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers of America have suffered a loss from their ranks and our late honored and esteemed Brother Aubell is no more. While we feel a very keen sadness at our loss, we can but realize that the pain is but a disappointment compared to the real sorrow that must necessarily accompany the great void in the hearts of his helpmate and family in the vicissitude of life, caused by the removal from their midst of the husband and father. Therefore, be it

" 'Resolved, By Local No. 333 of the B. of P., D. and P. of A., that we extend to the bereft family of our late brother, Charles Aubell, an expression of that sincere sympathy which we each and every one feel in this their seemingly darkest hour and sorrow of their lives, with an assurance of our best offices in every way possible in alleviating the pain, and be it further

"'Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of the deceased, that they be published in The Labor Leader, and be made a part of our minutes.

" 'G.W. Myers
Arthur H. Dutton
H.M. Hubbard
'Committee" 'San Diego, Cal., April 3, 1916' "
