Idah ALWER was born in Oberhausen Germany and came to the U.S. in about 1884,
she married John HERZIG and lived in Washougal. John was the postmaster there.
They had four children together : John , Carl, Flora, and Idah. Idah was born
July 2, 1895 and was the youngest. I do not have dates for the marriage or the
older childrens' births, deaths etc. John (the postmaster) died sometime around
1903. Idah Alwer Hertzig married William BERGER in about 1904 and sometime after
that they moved to Portland. William Berger was also born in Washougal 9/8/1876
and had one sister named Rose. Rose remained in Washougal and married Bill
MCCALL. They had one child Clara, born 5/3/1895. She later married Sim NYSTROM

Additional update to previous query: The correct spelling of one of the names
listed in my previous query is Herzig, not Hertzig. In 1900 there was also a
Fred Hertzig living in Washougal born in Switzerland in Jan. of 1860. I suspect
this person is also a relative. In later years, there was a Harold and Maud
Hertzig that lived inl Camas. Wa, which are also probably relatives. Maude was
born in Eugene Oregon on Apr. 24, 1895 and died on Aug. 7, 1938. John Herzig (
the postmaster) also had a sister named Mary REICHEN and a nephew Jacob Reichen
living with his family in Washougal in about 1900. Mary Reichen was born in
Switzerland in May 1858 and Jacob was born in Oregon in 1891. There was a Samuel
Reichen also living in Washougal at that time, which I believe was the brother
in law of Mary. Samuel was born in Switzerland in March of 1857. Sim and Clara
Nystrom, mentioned in my earlier query, also had two sons named Stanton and
Elton. I suspect they may still be living, but I don't know where at present.
