Elisabeth (Lohrengel/Lorangal) Aab was born to Jacob (Lohrengel/Lorangal) and his wife Catherine Jagopa on July 12, 1891 in Russia. (Her name is spelled Elisabeth on her passenger record and Elizabeth on her death certificate)
Elisabeth married Jacob Aab prior to them emigrating to the US from their home in Russia. Jacob arrived in New York from Liverpool on the Caronia on July 28, 1912, with Elisabeth arriving in New York from Bremen on the Breslau on July 20, 1913 at the age of 21. Elisabeth became sick with a "lung problem" while in New Jersey and doctors suggested that she be taken out West for her health. Arriving in Rocky Ford, Colorado in early April of 1915, Elisabeth died just three weeks later, at the age of 23, due to chronic [endocarditis?] (hard to read the second word on the death certificate), with rheumatism being a contributory factor.
Jacob buried his wife in Rocky Ford and eventually moved to Flint Michigan, where he opened a grocery store, married Anna Spindler Weitz, and had a son named Albert Jacob Aab, followed eventually by two grandchildren.
