Alternate spelling of surname: Esserman, Essermann. Arthur's surname is spelled with only one N on all of his vital records, military records, earlier newspaper articles, and military-provided headstone. His obituary and his name on Adelaide's double headstone are the only instances where his surname is spelled with two N's. The reason his widow spelled it this way, when the rest of the family did not, is unknown.
Son of Henry and Johanna Esserman.
First wife - Arthur married Rose Barth on 2 March 1917 in Chicago, Illinois. Arthur's draft registration for World War I acknowledges he is married. Together, they lived at 424 N. St. Louis Avenue in Chicago, across the alley from his sister Clara Griswold. However, on the transport record for his return from Brest, France, at the end of World War I, his mother is listed as his emergency contact and there is no mention of a wife. Rose was shown as remarried, to Edward Germain, on the 1920 U.S. Census, with a son named Arthur Esserman (age 3) and a daughter named Lorraine Germain (age 1). A delayed birth record, submitted by Arthur Barth Esserman in Cook County on 12 March 1942, states that he was the son of Richard Arthur Esserman and Rose Lazetta Barth, born in Chicago on 1 January 1917. It should also be noted that there is an original Cook County birth record with a single mother named Rose Barth and a son named Leonard Barth dated 31 December 1916 (a day earlier). There is no further record of a son named Leonard on Census or other vital records. A son named Arthur was not mentioned in the obituary of Arthur Richard Esserman.
Second wife - Arthur married Anna Gertrude Lamotte on 5 January 1921 in Lake County, Indiana. Together, they had two daughters, Lucille and Eleanor.
Third wife - Arthur married Adelaide Catherine Trippler on 2 March 1933 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. They had one son and one daughter together, Richard and Carol Mae.
