At the death of her uncle Dr. Guy Hanshaw in 1908, Pauline was entitled to a 1/16 share of the estate, which included lucrative oil and gas wells. She received an immediate payout from the estate of $115.63 in 1909. At intervals over the years, through 1942, she received royalty payments from the oil and gas wells. The high point was in 1918, when she received $49.08. In total, she received $534.35 in inheritance.
By 1922, Pauline had married Charles Engelbrit (1872 - ? ). He was a native of Minnesota, and his parents were emigrants from Norway.
When the federal census was taken in 1930, the Elgelbrits made their home in Detroit, Wayne County, MI. Living under their roof were Pauline's brother and sister in law, Frank and Rachel Huggins. Charles was employed as a golf course manager that year, with Frank working for him as a master caddy.
Unfortunately, Pauline's fate is unknown, but will be added here when learned.
