Daniel STOVER

                   1880 census has her as head of household, she was listed as Susan. Clara was there (she should have been listed as Maul - she was married in 1879, as was Uriah,and a 4 month old female named Dora - Clara's oldest daughter. She was living in Paradise Township at the time. Dora is Clara's  kid.
According to the 1880 census, her parents were born in PA.
1900 census she was in Paradise. Looks like she was living alone, although maybenext to Pierce. It stated that she had 6 kids, 5 (Actually it might be a  6) ofwhom were alive at that time. It also stated that she was born in Jan 1830

Something weird here. 1900 census stated she had only 6 kids, yet we have all ofthese kids. Dora (a granddaughter was with her also during a census, and they had her listed as a daughter. Could some of these last kids be grandkids?? Might we have some skeletons in the closet?? She would have been pretty old when they were born.

Listed as Susan in the appraisement of her deceased husbands estate.

She is buried away from the rest of the Graffs. Her headstone stated wife of Barnet.

Ottila's obituary confirms that her maiden name was Stover.
