I have found the following information about the Charles A. Bottorff line in Toledo, OH:

1 Charles A. Bottorff b. abt.1870 in PA d. 01/01/1917 in Huron Co. OH
+ Margaret ?? b. abt.1871 in IN
.2 Helen Bottorff b. abt.1892 in IN
.+ Harry Kriete
.2 Elsie Bottorff b. abt.1895 in OH
.2 Walter R. Bottorff b. abt.1897 in OH
.+ Laura ?? b. abt.1898 in OH
...3 Donald C. Bottorff
.2 Paul H. Bottorff b. abt.1899 in OH
.+ Helen ??
...3 John(Jack) A. Bottorff
...+ ??
.....4 Charles Bottorff(Not verifiable)
...3 Walter Bottorff(Not verifiable)

The obit for Charles A. Bottorf reads:
Toledo Blade, Jan 2 1917, pg 8
"Charles A. Bottorf, 45, of 2239 N. Erie Street, died suddenly in Norwalk, Ohio, Monday, of acute indigestion.
Bottorf was employed by the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad in Norwalk. He leaves his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Harry Kriete and Miss Elsie Bottorf, and two sons, Walter and Paul.
The funeral will be held in the home Thursday at 10. Burial will be in Forest cemetery."

I believe that this Charles A. Bottorf is the son of William Bottorf from my previous post. His death certificate, with his daughter Elsie as the informant, states that his father's name was William (born in PA). But it states that Charles' mother's name is Margaret and that she was born in IN. Charles' *wife* was Margaret (born in IN). Could the informant have gotten confused and put *her* mother's name on the death certificate? Does anyone have any information on this Charles A. Bottorf from Toledo, OH?

Thanks,
