Census History notes for Cora (Spouse 1)
1920. Cora Eaton age 37 lives with husband Benjamin in New Berlin (Limestone Twp) and their son John T 3 1/2.
My Comments notes for Cora (Spouse 1)
I have deduced that Cora was a daughter of Henry B Yerger and wife Catherine based on the 1900 Census where we find Emma M Frock born Oct 1865 living with husband Jacob and also living with them was Cora M Yerger born Nov 1882, said to be Jacob’s sister-in-law. I believe Emma M was Ella Jane’s sister Mary E and that Cora was yet another sister. Cora was too young to have been listed in the 1880 Census and had moved away from home to live with her sister after their mother died in 1895. Cora was still with them in 1910 but not in 1920.

I believe that Cora Yerger, sister of Ella Jane, married Benjamin Eaton sometime after 1910. I believe she was the Cora T Eaton named by Grandma on her Delayed Birth Certificate Application (DCBA).
