In 1868, Ernst made the trip to America. The Parish register in Ilsfeld says that he, along with his brothers, Christian Friederich and Gottlieb Friederich, all left in 1872. However, as it pertains to Ernst, the register is incorrect. First, Ernst married Maria Agnes Burkhart on May 26, 1870 in Danvers, McLean County, Illlinois. And second, the 1900 Census says that Ernst arrived in the US in 1868. The church register is correct regarding Christian and Gottlieb. They came to the United States on the Bremen, arriving in New York on April 16, 1872. For some reason, the records show Ernst and Christian on the passenger list; not Gottlieb. But, because Ernst was married in 1870 in Illinois, I believe the second brother on the list is Gottlieb, not Ernst. The 1870 Census lists Ernst and Mary living in the home of Gottlieb Rummell in McLean County, Illinois. Ernst was working for the railroad and Mary was a servant. Records in the Circuit Court of McLean County, Illinois, state that Ernst was naturalized on March 19, 1974. All three brothers settled in Illinois after coming to the United States. Christian married and had a large family, staying in Illinois. Their brother Gottlieb did the same. Ernst and Mary stayed for awhile, then the moved to California. The 1880 Federal Census shows the family living in Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. At that time they had 5 children: Christian Gottlieb Ernst, Elizabeth Louise, Adolph Emil, Gustave Franklin, and Bertha Rose. Ernst was a farmer while Mary kept house for the family. An agriculture census for the year 1879 shows that Ernst and Mary owned 7 improved acres and 6 unimproved acres of land, the value being $1,000. Their farm implements were valued at $15. The estimated value of farm production "sold, consumed or on hand for 1879" was reported to be $300. In the fall of 1881, Ernst moved his family to Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington Territory. Their last daughter, Christiana or Anna as she was called, was born there in 1882. After Mary passed away in 1887, Ernst continued to live in Pomeroy. By 1901, Christian, Elizabeth Louise, and Adolph had married. Anna was in Tacoma, while Gustave and Bertha were living with their father in Pomeroy. In November 1901, Ernst went to visit his daughter Elizabeth Louise and her husband in Idaho. On his way home, he was taken ill. Ernst's son, Christian, got word that his father was seriously ill, so he made the trip to Lewiston, Idaho. His father died the next day of what the obituary said was a "serious affliction of the stomach." His obituary, dated Nov. 23, 1901 (newspaper unknown) states: "E.G. Obenland Dead. Monday evening C. Obenland received word that his father way lying, dangerously sick in Lewiston, Idaho. Mr. Obenland immediately started out for Lewiston, arriving there at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. He found that the report concerning his father's condition was not overdrawn. The sick man was suffering from a serious affection of the stomach. He was taken suddenly ill Monday, and kept getting worse in spite of all that could be done, until death came to relieve his suffering, Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. The deceased had been visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Schuck (sic), and was on his way home when he was taken sick. The body was brought to Pomeroy for burial, interment being made in the city cemetery Thursday at 10 o'clock. Rev. E. I. Crawford conducted the services. Mr. Obenland was born in Germany, Oct 2nd, 1841. At the age of 33 he came to the United States, settling in Illinois. He removed to California where he remained for awhile, coming from there to Pomeroy in the fall of 1881. His wife died her fourteen years ago. He leaves three sons and three daughter, viz: C., G., and A. E. Obenland of Pomeroy. Miss Bertha Obenland of Pomeroy, Mrs. W. A. Schuck (sic) of White Bird, Idaho, and Miss Nannie Obenland of Tacoma, Wash." Ernst was buried two days later in the Pomeroy City Cemetery next to his wife. It's interesting to note that Ernst's son Gustave died in the same town as his father did, 43 years later.
