1902. Her mother, Elizabeth Goebel died , Barbara being 9 - Her father remarried a mean woman and Barbara 'had to do all the cooking and cleaning & take care of the kids' ( 4 of them younger than she, but then I think there were more babies from wife number 3). The boys worked on the farm .
Need the 1911CC.
Barbara aged 19
Maybe ~ 1913. Barbara went to Winnipeg on her own - sent by her father.She stayed with a cousin, Hertha Downey.Met Jack Schlosshauer then his brother Henry & married him.
1914. Barbara Goebel married Henry Schlotthauer. on 27/1/1914 in Wiinipeg. The m.c.- once seen by A N Other?? - apparently had Schlosshauer on it . In 1940 they changed their german surname to Slater - see Henry's page
.
Henry & Barbara
1914. Eleanor Freda Schlotthauer was born 27/11/1914 to Henry & Barbara in Manitoba, Winnipeg . Schlotthauer was crossed out on Eleanor's 1934 m.c and replaced by Slater. Were they just desperate not to be interned in Canada when WW2 broke out?. And when A N Other - not now granddaughter Lorarine Dey - saw, around 1982, that 1914 m.c of her grandparents and asked questions, Barbara's response was livid: 2 weeks later she , Barbara, and her siblings wrote to Lorraine, sister Dorothy, and all their cousins, saying she would take the secret to her grave.; the letter was signed, apparently, by her Goebel siblings as well
Other children were ; Alvira 1916; Elsie 1918; Harold 1923; Arthur 1925 - approx. dates
1916CC. Henry Schlotthauer, 27, was a teamster employed by Liquor W. Spoke English & German , Living with wife, Barbara, 24, and their 1st daughter, at 523 Aberdeen Avenue, Winnipeg. Born Russia, racial origin German. Immigrated 1903, naturalizes 1908 . Original Census entry viewable on Ancestry

Obtaining his naturalization document would be good! he would only be 13/14 when he arrived in Canada, so likely, but not certain, that he arrived with his parents
1918. Her father , Johann Frederick Goebel, died
1921CC. On 1 Jun 1921 Henry Schlotzhauer, 30, was living Winnipeg North, Manitoba,. This census says he immigrated in 1902, and has been trancribed by Ancestry as being from Scotland: this word is actually indecipherable and an Ancestry member suggests it might be Saratov, Russia
| Henry Schlotzhauer | 30 | Head |
| Bertha Schlotzhauer | 27 | Wife |
| Elenora Schlotzhauer | 6 | Daughter |
| Alvina Schlotzhauer | 4 | Daughter |
| Elsie Schlotzhauer | 2 | Daughter |
| William Galle | 21 | Father-in-law |
William Galle, 21, - obviously not a father in law! but Barbara ( Bertha here!) had a brother Wihelm of that age - so Galle should read Goebel
2 more children were born, Harold ~1923 and Arthur~1925

~1927 Elsie, Alvina, Eleanor, Harold & Art (bottom)
~1951. Fred Dey and his wife, Eleanor Slater/ Schlotthauer, emigrate to the US: sponsored by Barbara's youngest brother, William 1900, who had already established himself in Portland, Oregon . Do her parents, leave Canada too?? Seemingly no. Barbara Slater dies in 1980 in Winnipeg
1965. Her husband, Henry Slater, dies 15/2/1965, presumably in Winnipeg . Have failed to find an obituary for him
barbar in later life- PLEASE estimate a year Lorraine
