Conradina was my great grandmother. Her maiden name was Heidtmann. She married Carl Johan Olson. She disappeared when my grandfather was 11 or 12. He never knew what happened to her, only that she got on a train and was supposedly going to a doctors appointment. I never believed the grave story in Missouri. Would love to dig some and see if there is any other explanation.
I've found on many occasions Carls and Charles' being the same person, perhaps Carl is a short form of Charles, like Jno for John.
I believe I found her in 1900 census (search noted Comelia, writing looks like Conradina). Living in Michigan, Hematite Iron County with husband Carl, sons Edwin, Gus, Harold. Her date of birth is noted Sep 1870, sons born 1894, 1896, 1898. Carl is from Sweden. First 2 sons born in Wisconsin.
Also found a "Charles" and "Concondian" with the same sons, plus 2 year old daughter Lulu in Bayfield Wisconsin in 1905 state census. Have not found anything in 1910 yet but Olson is a very common name.
I've found on many occasions Carls and Charles' being the same person, perhaps Carl is a short form of Charles, like Jno for John. Would help to know her maiden name, more family info if anyone finds another article.
I just Googled it...apparently Carl/Karl is the Swedish version of Charles.
I might be a little late to the party, but this Jane Doe was also on my mind.
