Despite extensive research, very little is known about the parents of Gustave G Kradell, Sr. The only reference to a parents' name was found in Gustave's Death Certificate where his mother's name is listed as Mary (no maiden name given). The only known families close by with the surname of Kradel, are from the general area of Butler, PA. The just-ending Civil War may have also played a factor in his birth by bringing his parents together where they would normally have never met.
The earliest documentation on Gustave appeared in the New Jersey State Census of 1885. In that year, he was working as a farm hand for the William A and Minnie Chapman family in Union Tnsp, Union Co; his age would have been approximately 21 years. Sometime before 1895 Gustave married Amelia Louise Ochsner, daughter of Ignatz and Louise Herrion Ochsner of Newark, Essex, New Jersey. Amelia's two sons from previous marriages, George W Turner, and William M Merritt, were listed living with Gustave and Amelia in the New Jersey State Census of 1895 in Newark. Eventually, Gustave and Amelia had five surviving children: Louise A (1895-1921)(Carroll), Florence B (1897-1975) (Skelenger), Frank L (1900-1981), Clarence E (1902-1973) and Charles F (1906-1977).
