Wanted to let you know that in the 1880 Census WI Adams County Springville there is a Hiram Joel/Joyal listed as step son in the household of Jessie & Hannah Schoff. Jessie Schoff, 56, Farmer NY VT VT Hannah Schoff, Wife, 37, MA CAN MA Lillie Schoff, Dau, 16, NY Nettie Schoff, Dau, 13, WI Eva Schoff, Dau, 9, WI Clarinda Schoff, Dau, 6, WI Geo W Schoff, Son, 4, WI Lucy Schoff, Dau, 2, WI Hiram Joel, Stepson, 13, NH CAN MA So I believe that the stepson is the one who was the informant at deat. The Hiram D Joel/Joyal who married Mrs. Ella Page in Adams County, WI Apr 7, 1901 was her son. Note: Hannah is buried is White Creek Cemetery, Adams Co. WI Along with husband Jessie and others. Hope this helps some.
