• Notes

  John had eight children by his first wife. He married Barbara Evans sometime between the 1910 and 1920 census. John lived with his first wife in Plain City, Jerome Twp, Union Co., Ohio as that was his residence when his father died in 1d in the 1900 census records. In the 1910 census, he and his wife Ellen lived in Marion Twp., Franklin Co., Ohio with their five youngest children. He was listed as a teamster. He and his 2nd wife lived in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1920 census. He was 10 years older than his second wife, Barbara. He is remembered by my mother as a small, sweet man who loved my mother and her sister's sticky candy, fudge cooked to a sticky state. (CL-68,138)
