She married HENRY L. GIESEKER about 1907 in Denver, Colorado, presumably. He was born 1873 in Iowa259, and died Aft. 1920.

Notes for NETTIE JANE COSGROVE:
At the 1920 Federal Census, Nettie and Henry, the son of German immigrants, were living in Mountain Air, Jefferson County, Colorado.
Nettie was a warm, loving, gracious, considerate, and compassionate woman. It was her misfortune to have been married to a man who, although initially decent and considerate, later in life became an alcoholic and wife abuser. He restricted her freedom, causing her to be unable to visit her brother and his family nearby except when Henry was away from home. He terrified her with his threats of violent action. For example, coming home in a drunken rage one night, he stood over her bed with an axe, woke her, and threatened to kill her. Never complaining or speaking ill of others, and living her life quietly and lovingly, Nettie made the best of her life. She was a good mother to her children and a warm and loving aunt to the children of her brother, John. She died at the age of 88.

Notes for CLARENCE EARL "COSIE" COSGROVE:
After the dissolution of his business partnership with his brother, John, in Denver, Clarence took his family to Calgary, Alberta, in the Dominion of Canada, where he became a successful businessman and well-known civic figure. While interviewing a nurse for employment a few years ago, the writer remarked on her being from Calgary, and asked if by some wild chance she might know the Cosgrove family there. She replied in the negative, but knew who they were, saying that the Cosgroves regularly had the biggest float in the annual "Calgary Stampede" celebration's parade each year.
Ronald H.C. Dougan, nephew of Clarence's wife, Nellie Dougan Cosgrove, wrote to the writer on 13 May 1964,[a] saying:

". . my father is a brother of your aunt 'Nellie Cosgrove.' I knew Uncle Clarence Cosgrove, or 'Cosie,' as he was called, quite well before his death, and attended his funeral. . ."

Ronald then quoted from Clarence's obituary:

"Clarence Earl Cosgrove died on Tuesday August 13. He was born at McLouth, Kansas, coming to Calgary from Denver in 1919. He opened a Radiator Shop in Calgary until retiring in 1962.
"He was a member and Past Master of Bow River Lodge No. 1, A.F. and A.M., Past Principal of Alberta Chapter No. 1, R.A.M., a member of Zadok Counsel No. 3, Cyprus Preceptory No. 33, and Secretary of the Modern Woodmen of America. He was initiated into the Order of the Eastern Star in Acadia Chapter No. 56 on April 22nd, 1925 and served eight times as Worthy Patron. He was elected Worthy Grand Patron in June, 1950, and has continued to serve the Grand Chapter of Alberta as a member of the Home Fund Committee, this project being very close to his heart.
"In June of this year [1963], a month and a half before his death, Cosie and Nellie celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary where they were honoured by many friends and many relatives.
"The Grand Chapter of Alberta extends [condolences?] to Nellie, their son Earl Dougan Cosgrove who married Isabel Emery, the former Mrs Lund, Earl's stepdaughter Lorraine who married (1) Merle Durocher and had son Franklyn Merle, and (2) Don Stewert by whom she had Lori, Debby, and Gordon. Earl's adopted children Wendy, Roger, and John. Cosie has a sister Mrs. Nettie Geisiker of Denver. He was given Funeral Services held in 'The Little Chapel on the Corner' on Friday, August 16th with Rev. George Hart officiating."[a]

Following his death, Clarence was buried in Mountain View Memorial Gardens, Cemetery, and Crematorium in Calgary.[b]
Clarence and Nellie's home was located at 3232, 6th Street, S.W., Calgary.[b] Clarence's grandson, Dr Roger Cosgrove, quoted the following listings for Clarence from the Calgary Business Directories:[b]
