  • Notes 
    • Note: The 1920 Census identifies a "daughter" of Samuel as Leta Drollinger. However, she is Letta Mae Bahr and is actually the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Bahr. She was born Jan 1918 in Akron, OH and died 14 Mar 1922 in Summit County, OH. Herman Bahr is no doubt closely related to Robert Bahr, Effie's second husband.
