Charlotte (Lolla, Lottie or Grant) Grant Seelye, daughter of
Charles Wesley and Sarah Frances (Parsons) Seelye. Was born Aug
4, 1884 in Blunt Dakota territory and graduated from Washington
High,

On June 27, 1906, she married in theresidence of her parents in
Pierre, SD on Fillmore street, a house with threebay windows in
front, to Louis A Sunkel.
The acquaintance was made when Tully and Effie Taylor a
brother-in-law and sister came from Urbana, Ohio with a young man
to meet my sister. They got married so Louis wouldn't have to go
inthe Army. Their first home was Xenia Ohio where Louis and
Lottie worked in a Orphan home and later to Dayton in a shoe
store and retired from the fire department of Dayton. It has been
said my husband will kill me if I pluk that sink!. To this union
was Virginia (Ginna or Gin) May Sunkel, born. 17 May, 1919 at
Dayton, Ohio.

Louis passed away March 14, 1941 and Lottie June 21, 1963 at
Dayton, Ohio

Note from Virginia May (Sunkel) Macek, 10 March 1996.

Thisstatement I cannot understand. Not true at all! If the US
didn't enter WWI until 1917 and my parents were married in 1906
(how could) why would Louis be avoiding going into a war we
weren't even engaged in?? (good question)
I do knowthat when America did enter WW1 my father did not
enlist because his mother was born in Germany and had relatives
there - She was disturbed over America-vs Germany. etc.

However my father told me he would have gone to war had he been
called, he never was he was 40 or so years old then.
