It took me a while to track down Caroline, whose name was sometimes
spelled Carolyn. I eventually located it by searching for a Braumann who died
in Tucson and her husband Walter showed up.
Caroline Hansena Jorgensen was born on 16 September 1901 in
Moville, Woodbury County, Iowa, the daughter of John Jorgensen and Gertie Hanson.
Carolyn Jorgenson was married on 29 April 1922 in Wright
County, Iowa to Walter Irwin Braumann.[1]
Walter was born on 23 April 1902 in Iowa, the son of William Braumann and Eva
Jones.
On 10 April 1930, Walter E. and Caroline H. Brauman and
their daughter Lavonne F., as well as Walter’s brother Howard H. Brauman lived
in Troy, Wright County, Iowa. They rented their home and had a radio. The men
were general farmers.[2]
On 27 April 1940, Walter and Carolyn Brauman, their daughter
La Vonne, and Walter’s father William Brauman lived in Eagle Grove, Wright
County, Iowa. Their home was valued at $800. Walter was a feeder at a poultry house
and Caroline was an egg candler at the poultry house.[3]
On 15 April 1950, the couple lived in Eagle Grove. Walter
was the manager of a gas station and Caroline was a helper at the station.[4]
Walter died from a coronary occlusion on 28 February 1958 in
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona.[5]
He was buried there in South Lawn Cemetery.
Caroline died on 2 August 1990 in Tucson, Pima County and
was buried in South Lawn Cemetery.[6]
Looking at the list of siblings led me to Caroline’s brother
Roy H. Jorgensen. He was born on 14 May 1916 in Eagle Grove, Wright County,
Iowa and died on 24 February 2008 in Missouri. He was married Pearl Emma Claussen in 1945. Pearl was born
on 20 March 1918 and died on 30 April 2009.[7]
