I'm not sure what to think about this man. He has marriage records in Wisconsin for Almira in 1873, yet on the 1900 census, they state he's been married to Anna for 30 years which can't be as he was married to Martha at that time. Possibly there are two and records are being mixed up? This needs more research. Also, some censuses state he was born in Ohio and some say Indiana. In 1910, they state he and Anna have been married 22 years. I'm at a loss. These people aren't related to me. If anyone can figure this mess out please let me know?
