Katherine Ernseberger...Mother..90..OH..Widowed

NOTE - Catherine was widowed and evidently living with her widowed daughter named Dara. I have not been able to positively identify which daughter this really was. It may be just a mistake that Catherine was listed as a "mother" and perhaps there was no relationship between the two. It is also possible that this is the wrong Catherine Ernsberger. There were several other Catherine Ernsbergers living in Richland County at the time. This census record spells her given name with a K instead of a C which may be the enumerators choosing. This census record also shows that Catherine would have had to move from her long time home in Mifflin Township to Weller Township.

One strong possibility is that Dara Clingan was really Effie Rosella Kling, the widowed wife of Catherine's son, George Ernsberger. If that were true, then Catherine's relationship should have been listed as mother-in-law instead of mother. The age for Dara Clingan would have been about 65 instead of 68.
