Robert A. Oehler1

M, b. 25 December 1911, d. 1960
Robert A. Oehler, husband of Mildred E. Johnson
     Robert A. Oehler was born on 25 December 1911 at Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.1,2

     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just about a year before that, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history, due to rising world conflicts. After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. Robert filled out a draft card for World War II on 16 October 1940 (at age 28), while living at 1726 West 54th Street, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. He was working for Janet's Inc. Robert was described as 5' 11.5", brown eyes, brown hair, and dark complexion.2

     Robert married Mildred Eleanor Johnson, daughter of Arvid Valdemar Johnson and Tuny Marie Eko, on 7 July 1956, at Los Angeles, California.1 Robert A. Oehler witnessed the death of Robert A. Oehler in 19603 and was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California.3

     Uzal Ogden was born circa 1705.2

     Uzal, married Elizabeth Charlotte Thebaut.2

     Uzal was:
The earliest record of Uzal Ogden is under date of Apr. 15, 1740, at which time he unites with brothers John and David in the purchase of property afterward known as the Ringwood Iron Works or mines in Sussex Co., N. J. The first item in Trinity Church (Newark) records bears date Mar. 21, 1742-3: "Trinity Church to Uzal Ogden Dr. To one gallon rum for the stone diggers £ o-4-." He appears to have furnished all the labor and material, or else was treasurer of the funds. From 1743 to 1762 he is named in Essex Co. court minutes as Justice or County Judge. In 1748 he is one of a committee to grant pardon to rebels. In 1755, Gov. Belcher issued a proclamation granting friendly Indians of the province the privilege of acknowledging their allegiance to the English government and of being protected by His Majesty's subjects. They were to be enrolled by a magistrate for each county, given a certificate, and be desig- nated by wearing a red ribbon on the head for protection. Uzal Ogden was appointed magistrate for Essex Co. to register such Indians as should apply. He was appointed, Feb. 16, 1759, administrator of estate of John Bruen, Jr. At the April term of court, 1763, he was appointed Sheriff of Essex Co. In 1765 he and brother John sold the Ringwood Mines to Samuel Gouverneur. In 1778 is a Warden of Trinity Church, Newark, and Apr. 5, of following year, is requested to write his son. Rev. Dr. Uzal's, to preach in Trinity Church. His death and burial are not recorded, though they probably occurred in Newark, N.J.1


     Uzal died circa 1780.2
