This proves Almiron Adams md. Maria Hostetler and they are living with her
parents and probably a sister of Maria's (Lydia) married to a Barnhouse.

Unable to locate Almiron in 1870 federal census index in Iowa.  Need to search
Twp. of Glenwood and surrounding states if he isn't in Iowa.

Searched 1880 Federal Census on CD Rom's and there was no Almiron or Almeron
Adams listed.   No Maria Adams wife of Almiron or Edward his son.

Check to see if there are death records for Winnesheik Co.,Iowa also check for
any Hostetler's.
