Maria's obituary says they lived in Transfer, PA for eight years before moving near Lebanon, NE, in 1885. Since Jennie was born in September of 1885, either they moved late in that year or perhaps the year after and the obituary date was off. Says they moved to Delphos in 1920 which is about right.
