Orlando next married Rosaltha Elizabeth McElrath, daughter of George McElrath and Mary A., on 20 September 1877 in Red Oak, IA.² The marriage ended in divorce. (Rosaltha Elizabeth McElrath was born on 21 February 1857 in Hudson, WI ¹³ and died on 11 June 1935 in Wessington, SD ¹⁴.)

NOTE - The un-named wife on the census is a mystery. His wife, Rosa, must have been separated from Orlando at the time and she was enumerated as living with their child, Mary, back home with her father in Iowa. It is unknown who this un-named "wife" could have been.

It is not 100% certain that this was the correct Orlando Darner but if it were, then Orlando and Rosa apparently split up while living in Iowa. Rosa took the young daughter with her to her father's house while Orlando headed west to Kansas for a while. They apparently got back together after a few years because Rosa gave birth to 2 more children.

NOTE - It is interesting to note that Catherine stated on this census that they had been married for 30 years which may be true based on their first marriage in 1869 but ignores the fact that they were split up for 18 years while Orlando was married to Rosa McElrath. The four children that she states that she gave birth to were all from the first time that she was married to Orlando in 1869.
