He married Pauline Wirwahn, daughter of Henry Wirwahn and Elizabeth Shaffer, on 24 April 1871 at Cass Co., IN, Indexed as "Paulona Wearwant" in the Indiana marriage collection, 1800 - 1941, online at ancestry.com, which shows 24 APR 1876 as the date. However, it would appear from the 1900 census that not only her name, but also the year was mis-transcribed, as they indicated 29 years of marriage as of June, 1900.
