- Letter from Ethel to Ralph Arbogast, 19 Jan 1939, concerning the first
Arbogast Family Trees, indicates she had it done in Tulsa, OK, where she lived.
The original was sent to Emery Arbogast in Farmland, IN, for distribution to
anyone who wanted a copy. Ethel lived at R# 8 Tulsa. Ethel indicated there
was an old tree which was drawn by hand at their reunions at Farmland, IN.
Ethel, and three other cousins worked to some consensus regarding how to spell
names, etc, then she hired a man in Tulsa to draw a new tree which has been
distributed widely among Arbogast descendants across the U.S., measuring about
2 ft. by 3ft. Later her cousins Marjorie (Arbogast) Shrack of Alexandria, IN,
and Frances Arbogast of Indianapolis had another family tree drawn on their
branch of the original tree, starting with their grandparents, Sandford A.
Arbogast and Isabella Hays. This tree is a little smaller than the one Ethel
had drawn.
