"Anna M" noted as wife in 1920 census, not noted in 1930,
is Samuel Thaddeus's wife was his first wife Anna May Jenson 1899-1926, no children before 1920.
Their known children:
David C. 1921
Danneil L. 1924
Virginia "Jennie" 1925
Delores 1928
Charlie 1929
Added children in 1940 census:
Roslyn 1931
Violet 1934
Daisy 1936
Harry 1940
"Opal Reink" [1898 Ind] listed as "Servant" in 1930 census, and "Wife" [1907 Ind] in 1940. First year "1898" is probably a Misreading.
Additional Data from Nancy Arendsee
Opal Biddle is on the 1900 census of Union, Boone Co., Indiana, birth date given is Aug 1898
She is on the 1910 census of Union, Boone Co., Indiana, birth date given is abt 1898
She is on the 1923 directory of Kenosha, Wisconsin as Opal Reinke, husband John.
She is on the 1926 directory of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin as Opal Reinke, husband John.
She is on the 1930 census, Marcellon, Columbia Co., Wisconsin as Opal Reink, born abt 1898 in Indiana, divorced, servant, born in Indiana. Her five children on this census have the surname of Reink or Reinke.
She is on the 1940 census, Marcellon, Columbia Co., Wisconsin as Opal Sheeks born abt 1908 in Wisconsin.
The 1940 census is the only one to list her birth year as abt 1908 and birthplace as Wisconsin. Therefore, I believe the 1898 date on the gravestone is correct.
