Research Notes:
George's wife is named Anna Jane Snyder in both the marriage record and the birth record for Elroy. Other researchers identify her as a daughter of Henry S Ruhl [6] and Ellen Snyder, but Anna Jane's birthdate was before the marriage of Henry S Ruhl and Ellen Snyder. The marriage record of Henry S Ruhl and Ellen Snyder reports that both were unmarried and unencumbered when they married. Anna Jane is not named as a child of Henry S Ruhl in any census record. Anna Jane was not named as an heir in the will of Henry S. Ruhl. We seek clarification about the parents of Anna Jane Snyder.
