Memories of Isabelle Wickman[]

Todd Wayne Wickman writes on May 14, 2012: "[Isabelle Trautline was] her maiden name. She was murdered in the winter of ~1932 by her husband, my paternal great-grandfather, Otto Olson. My grandfather, Norman Olson aka Norman Wickman was adopted by Isabelle's older sister Minnie who was married to John [sic] "Slim" Wickman at the time. They divorced, she remarried and died as Minnie McCarthy in ~1980, yet my last name is still Wickman ... all because Otto came home drunk and killed Isabelle. as I mentioned, Isabelle's (and Minnie's) maiden name is Trautlein ... also, cause of death on her death certificate reads 'murder'."
