Joan, Thanks for the feedback. I by no means feel I have exhausted my options. My only limitation is time to search :( and I know I will ultimately find a connection. Compared to some of the other lines I am working this should be an easy one. I haven't yet hit the Archives with the goal of finding my Geigers. I am really just getting started with them. I just happened across the 1850 info online. :) Emily was married to Edward Marion Lentz (1878-1935). Not sure where, but likely Kosciusko Co.

Steve, I have a couple suggestions--but you appear to have already thought this out well so you most likely have considered this. First, have you tried to obtain a death certificate for Emily? Have you tried finding her with her parents either on the 1880 (assuming she was born in time to be on there) or 1900 census (assuming she didn't marry by 1900)? One question--could you tell us who Emily married? Joan
