BIRTH:
1. See quotation with marriage. Date given therein is undocumented, but using censuses, I had already estimated "Abt 1853."

MARRIAGE:
1. One reported possibility for husband is Wenger Groff; however, the only two Wenger Groffs in the 1900 census resided in Pennsylvania. Wenger Groff appears unlikely. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 90-91 gives the following which appears more reliable: "Elizabeth Graybill, b. 1853, m. Eli Collins (son John and family lived on the neighboring farm by Yorkshire, Iowa, where I grew up).
Family Tree accessed 31 May 2013 shows marriage as 25 January 1880 in Potta. co., IA. Initials are used for groom and bride.

BURIAL:
1. Family Search's "Iowa, Deaths and Burials, 1850-1990," accessed 14 Dec 2013: Elizabeth J. Collins, d. Shelby, Iowa, bur. 19 Jun 1932. FHL film 1035203, p. 58, no. 1321.

SOURCES_MISC:
1. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 34-38, note that this book has a very detailed downline of the children of this individual.
