By the time of the birth of his children (in the 1870s), Cornelius had married Sara Ewert and lived in Obernessau, [Poland?]. At the time of their daughter Minna's wedding, the Bartels were living in Podgorz. This is a village along the Vistula River a few miles from Thorn. I cannot find it on a major map of Poland. It is listed on the hand drawn maps that Elizabeth Ewert and Frieda Bartel brought to the reunion in 1960. Cornelius Bartel had been a farmer but was now a custodian. [1]
