Geiger and Magdalena “Lena” Geiger, who were second cousins, from Zurich, Ontario. Phoebe was the daughter of a Canadian emigrant, Charles Howard Kuehner, of Southampton, Ontario, whose paternal grandparents, and mother, were German; and of Maude Ethel Clark, whose grandparents were all Northern Irish.
Upsahl’a maternal grandfather is William Landis “Bill” Kerlin (the son of Marvin Kisling Kerlin and Mary Elizabeth Kuhn). Marvin was the son of Marvin Price Kerlin and Rhoda Ann Kisling. Mary Elizabeth was the daughter of William Edward Kuhn, whose father, and maternal grandparents, were German; and of Nellie Chambers Stair.
Upsahl’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her sixth great-grandmother, Mary Culbertson, of Ohio.
