Robert Carl CHARTIER |
Roberts birth certificate has his name as Robert Rehfeldt. According to his daughter, Wilhelmina Costanza, Robert’s biological parents probably never married. He was raised by his grandparents, Louis Rehfeldt and Minnie Schabo. However, the only grandchild in the 1920 census in the Louis and Minnie Rehfeldt household is Clarence Rehfeldt, age 8. The age is correct which seems to mean that Robert’s middle name was Clarence or his grandparents preferred that name. Robert’s mother, Emma Rehfeldt had two more marriages. The first one was to F Lewis Hahn who was 15 years older than Emma. She can be found living with F. Lewis in the 1920 census with 6 of his children from his first marriage. His first wife probably had died. After Lewis Hahn died, Emma Rehfeldt Hahn married William J. Nitzband in Menominee, Michigan on 06 Dec 1926. She and William can be found in Appleton in the 1930 census. Five of the Hahn children are also in the household along with Wayne Nitzband who was born to William and Emma. They can also be found in the 1940 census in Appleton. There are two Hahn children in the household and these three children of William and Emma Nitzband, William, Rodney and Delson.
Clarence Rehfeldt married Eleanor Drieling around 1930; but a marriage record has not been found. Clarence could not be found in the 1930 census. In the 1940 census Eleanor is living in Appleton with three children, Betty Lou, age 9; Beverly M, age 8 and Clarence, Jr, age 6. Eleanor is a divorcee in this census. Clarence can be found with Eleanor in the Appleton 1932 and 1934 directories, but in subsequent directories Eleanor is listed as Mrs. Eleanor Rehfeldt. It appears that Clarence left the family in about 1935. Eleanor and her children sometime in the 1940’s moved to Washington State where she married George Bronold in Clark County, Washington on 09 Dec 1944. A photo of George and Eleanor’s tombstone can be found at “Find a Grave”.
It appears that sometime before 1940, Clarence Rehfeldt decided to use the name Robert Carl Chartier as that is the name he used when registered for social security. He and Reta and one child can be found in the 1940 census living in Miami (Dade), Florida. Robert was a salesman for a commercial laundry. Robert was in the U.S. Navy during WWII. His and Reta’s social security cards were issued in Florida. According to Robert’s daughter, Willy Costanza, Robert had two children from an earlier marriage.
