Narrative

There is obviously a large gap in the records I've been able to find for Grace, of nearly forty years, that leaves some aspects of her life still unconfirmed. A handful of years after her listing in her parents' household in Auglaize Twp, Paulding Cty, Ohio in the 1900 US Census, she married Fred Whetsler in Putnam Cty, Ohio on 30 Oct 1906. I have managed to find very little record of Fred beyond this marriage record, and I had no information on Grace after this until the obituary for one of her siblings named her "Mrs. Grace Ricoff" of Evanston, Cook Cty, Illinois. This led back to a 1940 US Census listing in Chicago, Cook Cty, for a Charles Rykoff and wife Grace, and then a burial listing for the two of them in Ontario Cemetery, Ontario, LaGrange Cty, Indiana (where a significant portion of her extended family is buried) for Charles and Grace Rickoff. There is also a Cook Cty death record for Grace.

I have not found a marriage record for Grace and Charles, nor do I know when or how her marriage to Fred ended (divorce or his death). I do not know if she was married to anyone else in the time between those two marriages, and I have not yet found any information on whether she had any children.
