DAUGHTER OF JOHN AND IDA (WOLF) STOVER: ELASTA 1897 - 1973

One of the daughters of John and Mary Ida (WOLF) STOVER was Elasta Gustava STOVER who married Ray Y. Grube.

So far, I have been unable to locate photos of her.

She was born Feb. 1, 1897 and died Feb. 3, 1973. She is memorial #99097373 on Find A Grave.

What I have found (for no reason I can figure out) is that she got 2 delayed birth certificates, one in 1942 and one in 1957.

1957 Delayed birth certificate:

1957 pg. 1

1957 pg. 2

The people affirming her birth are Lizzie Mull, Irwin Hahn, and B. Sylvester Stover:

Elizabeth "Lizzie" MULL was a maternal aunt (younger sister of Mary Ida Wolf).

Irwin (or Irvin) HAHN was the son of Mary Ida Wolf and Jacob Hahn - hence a half brother to Elasta.

B(arton) Sylvester STOVER was a full brother of Elasta G. STOVER.

The 1942 delayed birth certificate:

The people affirming her birth are Mrs. T. APPLEBACH, Mrs. T.J. GEIST, and Mrs. Howard MULL.

Mrs. T. APPLEBACH was her sister Jennie.

Mrs. T. J. GEIST was her sister Lottie.

Mrs. Howard MMULL was her maternal aunt, Elizabeth "Lizzie" (WOLF) MULL.
