looks very well kept  - says Felix L Guennel on the headstone - wonder what the L stood for ?

I'd already been back and added the death into my previous posting, explaining why Emilie had re-married

Emilie's 1938 re-marriage gives HER parents.
Birth Year (Estimated):   1892
Father's Name:   Jacob Ott
Mother's Name:Mary Huber

A possible baptism record for Emilie from Germany:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NZJ2-WB3
(she may have had a namesake older sister (b 1888, d 1889))

There is an immigration record from 1925 : (Emilie + 2 kids)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KX9Z-CDD
Gives her last residence as Unter-turkheim? (Untertürkheim is one of the city districts of Stuttgart)

A 1924 arrival   Eugen Guennel (travelling alone) from same city district ( a relative of some sort?)
with Mother named Clara on RobertStrasse 2. (He later rocks up in Texas, wed to Ann)?
Eugen Guennel   Immigration   02 Dec 1924   Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim, Germany   Male   31   Married
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9PY-F979-C?i=310&cc=1368704
He (Eugen) might re-arrive in 1926 with Anna in tow.

There is also Felix's naturalisation record (very obliging of him)!

sorry Pauline - I never seen Felix's death under Erwins ...xx at least we know Agnes was a family member as well

If the OP logs in again, perhaps they can at least acknowledge whether we ended up on the right track.

There are entries which look relevant on Ancestry "Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934" for 1925+/- 1y
for the surname Günnel. cut & paste surname if you can't do the umlaut

If the OP needs further help, just shout.
