Biography
Among the children of Roy C Lapham (1883-1908) & Florence (Voltry) Pfeifer (1881-1967) is listed:.
- Elizabeth A. born 1906, married Carl Olsosky(sic).
Sources given are: "Rec. of Mrs. Carl Olsosky ; Venia Lapham."[1]
Elizabeth A Lapham married Carl A Olsomsky 25 Mar 1930 in Wyoming, New York. She was 24 the daughter of Roy C Lapham & Florence M Votry(sic), he was 21, the son of Fred J Olsomsky & May Effie Winter. It was a first marriage for both of them. Fred is stated to have been born in Germany, all five others in the record in the "USA".[2]
Elizabeth A “Lizzie” Lapham Olsowsky was born in 1906 and died in 1973 (aged 66–67). She was buried in the LaGrange Cemetery in LaGrange, Wyoming County, New York
Findagrave provides links for her parents:
- Roy C Lapham 1883–1908
- Florence M Voltry Pfeifer 1881–1967
and her husband
- Carl A Olsowsky 1909–1987 [3]
Research Notes
There are three different spellings of "Olsowsky" in the sources listed:
- "Olsosky" from "Laphams in America"
- "Olsomsky" from the marriage record
- "Olsowsky" from Findagrave.
There are two reasons I think "Olsowsky"is correct. First Findagrave quotes extensively from her obituary; and second the image of the marriage record looks more like "Olsowsky" than "Olsomsky" to me.
