Inga Travland and Otto Travland baptisms

Inga Travland and cousin Otto Travland were baptized on December 23, 1883 in Lee county, Illinois.   The baptism document was provided from Methodist Episcopal Church but previous entries stated Steward which is located in Lee county.    I do not know whether the baptism occurred in Steward at the church or another location in Lee county, Illinois.    The church record indicates Inga was born August 28, 1883 and her cousin, Otto Travland was born on November 9, 1883.   


Inga's entry can be found on the 3rd line and Otto's is located on the 4th line.     

Inga Travland was the first child born to Matilda (Vogel) and Lewis Travland (following the death of Lewis' first wife, Iverdine Finnestad) and the granddaughter of Taletta Larsdatter and Peder Pederson Travland.

Otto Travland was the son of Mary Ann (Olson) and Ole Kristian Travland and the grandson of Taletta Larsdatter and Peder Pederson Travland. 

The baptism documents were provided from the records of the Methodist Episcopal Church which still stands today and is located at 507 Main Street.    It is currently named the Steward United Methodist Church.   A little bit of history about the church can be found here.  Scroll down to the bottom and look for 'Steward Methodist Church'.
