Narrative

After the 1910 death of his first wife, Harriet "Hattie" (Miller) Vergon, Amelius remarried on 30 Sep 1916 in Allen Cty, Indiana to Anna (Shoda) Mills, a woman whose first marriage ended in divorce. In the 1920 US Census, the two of them were counted residing in Fort Wayne, Allen Cty, with two of Amelius' adult children (John and Beatrice) and Anna's son and his family (James Mills, his wife and son).

In the 1930 US Census, Amelius is counted as living with his daughter Ruth and her husband Graham L. Mcdowell in Detroit, Wayne Cty, Michigan. Anna does not appear in that census listing, but Amelius gives his marital status as married. I have not found any further records for Anna after the previously-mentioned 1920 listing, so I cannot determine the outcome of their marriage.

In his marriage record to Anna, Amelius gave his birth year as 1864, but in the three census records I have found, his birth year appears to be 1858 or 1859. His gravestone gives his birth year as 1858, so at this point it seems more likely that his age and birth year are misreported on that marriage record.
