Missing Kaski records #2: Elma Sandra Geraldine Kaski

I NEED YOUR HELP

This is the second of a series of posts on the data I'm missing to build a complete descendant tree for my paternal great-grandparents, Mariah Alvina Ecklund and Peter August Kaski. This post focuses on Elma Kaski, for whom I do not currently have contact with any direct descendants. I would love any help making this connection.

The ASK

I have some holes for some people in this branch; maybe you hold the key that fits the door to that information. Know the answer to any question below?

All three contact methods work well for me; use whatever approach is easiest for you. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Elma Sandra Geraldine Kaski

Elma

When and where was Elma married?
Did Elma go by that name, or did she go by another nickname such as "Sandy"?

Clarence

For Clarence's father, Ralph, where did he die?
For Clarence's natural father, William Dakin, he was born and died where and when? I have a DOB of about 1893 in Ohio.
For Clarence's mother, Alma, when in 1918 did she marry William Dakin, and when did that marriage end? Where and when did Alma die?
For Clarence's first wife, Dorothy, what were her parents' names and facts (DOB, DOD)?

Patty

Is Patty's husband, David, still alive? There's some conflicting information out there.
Have either of Patty's sons married or had any children?

Thanks in advance for your help on my treasured project! If you have any pictures I can post, I and others in the Kaski line would surely love to see them.

Peter August Kaski's journey to America

At the age of 26, Peter August Kaski brought our Kaski branch to the United States. He started the ship portion of his journey with a 40 hour trip on the SS Rollo from Gothenburg, Sweden to Hull, England. Most emigrants would then take the Paragon Railway train between Hull and Liverpool. From Liverpool, Peter August Kaski then sailed for 10 days on the S.S. Aurania to New York, disembarking on April 24, 1903. On the ship manifest below, Peter A. Kaski is listed on line 10. He declared having $12 in his pocket and was headed to Bryant, South Dakota. Originally, it was written that he was headed to meet his brother, J. Kaski, but that was then crossed out and replaced with the name Oskar Peterson of Deadwood, South Dakota. There is evidence that his brother, Jakob Krister Kaski was in Bryant by 1911, and is likely the brother referenced in this record. How he made his journey from New York to Bryant has, thus far, been lost to time, but we know he would end up in Bryant, Sout...

The 100 Club

There are some good genes out there, letting some of our ancestors achieve the epic age of 100. Cheers to these centenarians! Maternal line 105 years : L illian (Ahrendt) Galbreath lived to the age of 105. Lillian is a double first cousin 3 times removed who died in June 2004. A "double cousin" means she shares more than one set of grandparents; in her case, Lillian's grandparents were my 3x-great grandparents from both my Ahrendt & Weinreben and my Stroh & Mohr family lines. My software program doesn't display the above visual for both sets of grandparents when there is a double cousin, so below, I'm showing how Lillian's mother, Dorothea Stroh, is related to me. 101 years : Elizabeth (Guhl) Ahrendt joined our tree through her marriage to Albert B. Ahrendt, a first cousin three times removed. 100 years & 14 days : Anna Ida (Boldt) Albers made the centenarian cut-off by 2 weeks. Those Ahrendts sure have some serious longevity. Anna's an...

Unknown B&W album - likely Colorado

I had the pleasure of digitally archiving the records and pictures held by my Uncle Don Untiedt. The pictures included below were all together in a single album. However, I have no additional notes on who or where these pictures were taken. Do you have any answers about the subject or location? In one picture there is a sign for "Dirty Woman Creek". When I Google that, there is such a place located in Colorado. However, if there were other "Dirty Women" creeks, it's reasonable that over time they have been changed to something more P.C. However, given the potential Colorado connection, I'm tagging these as part of the Untiedt line for now. [Update: since originally posting this, I was able to read the top of one building which is excerpted below. It reads "Pikes Peak Motor Co". Googling that name there is such a place located in Penrose, Colorado.] Do you recognize any of the buildings? Any of the children? Maybe the horses? Is this Penrose, Color...
