Marilyn, Edwin Valentine Geus is the husband of Stella E. Buck, daughter of Celestine A. Buck and his second wife Adelaide Regina Rosensteel. Celestine and Annie (Buck) Eck are brother and sister. A couple of corrections in the obit. The middle initial for Annie is wrong. Annie was baptized Ann Alisa Buck, but went by Ann Elizabeth. Also she was born on July 7, 1866, not 1886 as in the article. Thanks for always posting such great information, I appreciate it.
