William O. Hunke(3), was born April 21, 1895 in Wadena County, Minnesota, apparently out of wedlock, the son of Helena R. Hunke(2) and a man born in Wisconsin. He is recorded in the Wadena County birth records as a confidential birth under the name of William Hunter, probably a misspelling, as no father is listed and his mother is listed as Helena Hunke.
In 1900, at age five, he was living under the name of William O. Hunke with his grandmother Augusta Zodrow and her second husband August on a mortgaged farm in Rockwood Township, Wadena County, Minnesota.
The Zodrows were not living in Wadena County in 1910, and little is known of William's subsequent history.
As an adult, he used the name William Zodrow, possibly with the middle initial H. His Social Security card was issued in North Dakota.
His wife was likely Anna ------. She was born November 28, 1899 in ------, ------, the daughter of ------ ------ and ------ (------) ------. Her Social Security card was issued in North Dakota.
Children:
Anna Zodrow's last residence was Minot, Ward County, North Dakota 58701. She died January --, 1983.
