According to the 1930 Census, George could read and write English. He was born in Germany and immigrated in 1895. It says that his first marriage occurred when he was 27, which would have made it occur in 1895. His wife Otillie is listed as her first marriage being at age 28, which implies being married in 1908. So therefore Otillie must be George's 2nd wife. This census was taken while he and Otillie were living in Brandsvold Township in Polk County MN.
