Irene Agnes Armbrust (1929-2001): Making the most of what she had (52 Ancestors #11)
Posted for the blog meme 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks hosted by Amy Johnson Crowe of No Story Too Small.

My mother, Irene Agnes Armbrust,[1] was born February 2, 1929. She was the first child of Daniel and Elizabeth (Jaeger) Armbrust. Though both her civil birth certificate and church baptism record state she was born in Kildeer, Dunn County, North Dakota, she always claimed that she was born at the Grassy Butte, North Dakota post office. You can read more about that here.[2]

Records are scarce between Irene’s birth in 1929 and the 1940 U.S. census, when Elizabeth Armbrust was enumerated as a widowed head of household with three children in Watford City, McKenzie County, North Dakota.[3] Daniel died in Dickinson, North Dakota in February 1936.[4] Irene was 11 years old and her siblings Dolores and Elmer were 7 and 5 years old respectively. Elizabeth Armbrust died in September 1946.[5] Irene was 17 years old, Dolores was 13, and Elmer was 12.

Irene was 18 when she graduated from St. Joseph High School in Wild Rice, North Dakota in June 1947.[6] I don’t have specific information about Irene’s location or activities between 1947 and 1950 except that she was employed as a stenographer at Bismarck Grocery in Dickinson before her marriage in May 1950.[7] She had some sort of relationship with the Jack and Barbara Reisenhauer family in Dickinson sometime between her father’s death in 1936 and 1950. I have only a vague recollection that she was fostered to the Reisenhauers at some point between Daniel’s death in 1936 and her high school graduation in 1947. Whatever the relationship, I know that “Grandma Reisenhauer” gave my sister Wynne and me fragile, porcelain-head dolls in the late 1950s.

Irene married William Henry Arnold on 3 May 1950 in Saint Patrick’s Church, Dickinson, Stark County, North Dakota, USA. William (son of Peter Ernest Arnold and Magdalena Wehner) was born on 21 Feb 1925 in Gladstone, Stark County, North Dakota, USA; died on 27 Apr 2003 in Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana, USA; was buried in Highland Cemetery, Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana, USA.

Wynne married Gary Joseph Martin on 14 Dec 1974. Gary was born on 12 Jul 1946 in Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana, USA; died on 26 Feb 2010; was buried in Hillcrest Lawn Memorial, Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
