From notes of her youngest son, Ernest: " The family is unknown to me, although all of her family was strict, honest, hard-working, clean and intelligent. One of her great grandfathers (Adolph) was in Napolean's Army, and was shot in the leg on the disastrous retreat from Moscow (crossing a river). He never recovered completely from the wound, although he lived to old age.

" Another grandfather (Johann Storp) was owner of a freighting business, freighting from France and Belgium to Russia and back. My mother used to laugh about the way he kept books on a big barn door; he was uneducated and had to originate his own marks to keep books. No one could read his marks, but he kept his books (on the barn door) very precisely and accurately. My mother said they couldn't fool him on his accounts, he knew his marks on the
barn door. My father (Charles Odendahl) said the freight wagons in those days were very huge, with enormous big wheels, pulled by about 8 horses." Apparantly Carol Moser has a copy of the death report sent from the American Foreign Service. Buried in plot 509 of the cemetery.
