Harry George Hertel adpt by Robert L. Westfall abt 1922 Chicago ...help needed.
Harry George Hertel was born Jan 17, 1912 in Chicago to Violet Nelson and Adolph Gustav Hertel who were married in 1901.There were 9 children, 2 of which died prior to 1910.
Violet and Gustav must have divorced, and Violet marriedRobert Lawrence in 1922 and he adopted the children. ( I am not sure he adopted the 2 oldest daughters).
So Harry George Hertel became Westfall.
SS info:
b) Jan 17, 1922

Denver, Jefferson, Colorado

Wheatridge, Jefferson, Colorado.
Harry signed as the informant on the death certificate for his brother Robert N Westfall 1971...who is buried in Fairmont Cemetery Co.Both Violet and Robert Lawrence are also buried there.
Harry married a Beth Marie Kline and I have been told they had 5 children.She died at the age of 52 in 1978.…I have also been told he remarried.I have no idea who the children are, or the name of his second wife.
If anyone knows about Harry I would love to hear from you.I am looking for info about his siblings, children and wives.
Thanks so much,
