Isenberg

Meg Greenwood - 12 Oct 2006
Am working on a line of ISENBERGs that originated in Gasconade county, MO.  Mabel ISENBERG married Cecil HOUSTON, I find them in Devol in the 1920 census with 2 children under 3 years and a brother-in-law, George ISENBERG who died a few days after the census from a flu epidemic.   Another child was born Waurika in Aug. 1921. I am hoping there is someone who might be able to assist me in finding out where to look for ISENBERG and HOUSTON records in the Devol area/ I have a postcard with "Devol High" handwritten on it, it shows 7 students, 4 women and 3 men sitting on a grassy field, among them is my paternal grandmother, Minnie Edna ISENBERG [went by Edna].  She was born 1897 in Missouri and married 1919 in Lawton, OK. I could order LDS films but I am not sure of the year this class would have graduated, yet I suspect 1915 if she was 18 when this occurred.   Do I need a library ?  A local Genealogy society?   A History Museum?  Can someone point me in the right direction to find school records for Edna and hopefully pictures if my Grandmother indeed graduated from Devol High around 1915.  Possibly death records for George ISENBERG on Jan 20th and perhaps birth records for Victor HOUSTON who was 1 yr old in the 1920 census [taken Jan 16] seen as born in Oklahoma to Cecil HOUSTON and Mabel ISENBERG.   Need pointed in the right direction.....
