Loren Matterson Angell was born 19 Jun 1890, in Pittsfield, Otsego county, NY to parents Aden Joseph Angell (1856-1948, son of Ancel Alton Angell and Marie Backus) and Anna E. Matterson (1863-1908, daughter of Andrew Matterson and Joanna Purcell).

According to his memorial at Findagrave, his siblings were:

• Floyd A. Angell (1883-1897)
• Mary M. Angell-Kneeland (1887-1978)
• Lavere H. Angell (1893-1978)
• Hubert Aden Angell (1900-1942)

While in High School in New Berlin, Loren was active in the Literary Society. This insert reporting the results of a particular debate was found in the Chenango Telegraph, 26 Dec 1905.

In the year before he graduated High School, Loren's mother died. His father Aden remarried in 1921 to Anna's younger sister Minnie.

At age 26, on his WWI registration card, his occupation is "verification clerk" at the NY telephone company.

Married at age 38 (5 Jan 1929) to Bessie (Elizabeth) Jordon (previously married but not sure if widowed or divorced, maiden name not known).

UPDATE - also found at the same booth was this photograph (below) of people I believe are close relations to Loren ANGELL.

The photo was taken circa 1911 at the same photographic studio (Talbot) in New Berlin, NY, and is identified as "Belle and Ray ANGELL, and Robert".

I have identified Belle as Lena Belle Matteson, whom I believe to be a relation of Loren's mother Anna Matterson/Matteson.

Robert Malcolm ANGELL (1898-1962), son of Mark Ray ANGELL (1874-1948) and Lena Belle MATTESON (1878-1951).
