Christine was born in Baumerlenbach, Wurttemburg, Germany. The church records there show she was born in 1841, not 1840, as her tombstone shows. She was the daughter of Johann Christian Foernsler and Sophia Dorothea Megerle.
On October 6, 1861, she married Johann Jacob Obenland in the Lutheran church in Oehringen, Jagstrkeis, Wurttemburg.
Christina and Jacob had at least two children that we know of, Carl Christian Jacob Ferdinand and Sophie Caroline Gottlieben.
In the fall of 1887, Christine, Jacob, their adult son and their grandson, Adolph, left Bremen, Germany on the Rhein. They arrived in Baltimore, Maryland on 3 October, 1887. Adolph was the illegitimate son of daughter Sophie.
Everyone first settled in Howard County, Maryland. That is where in 1897, Jacob died. Two years later, son Carl also passed away.
For a time, Christine lived in Philadelphia with her grandson Adolph and his wife Mary. There Adolph worked in the real estate business. When searching newspapers of the time, Christine is mentioned in several places as the buyer or seller of different properties.
Christine was living with Adolph and Mary at 879 Oak St., Columbus, Ohio at the time of her death. She died at the age of 83 of heart disease. Christine was buried in Union Cemetery on March 29, 1924 near her great grandson, George, who had passed away just the year before. Eventually Christine's grandson Adolph and his wife Mary were also buried nearby.
