Narrative

In addition to his parents' household, Eli also appears as a boarder in the household of Charlie and Cora Cook in Harrison Twp, elsewhere in Kosciusko Cty, Indiana. I do not have any information that he married or had children, and he appears to have lived primarily with his parents until his death.

In the files of Jane Anne Thomas is an undated photo labeled "Eli Kiger" in pencil, in handwriting that resembles that of his sister Alma (Kiger) Gunn (with additional notes by Jean Pasko). In that photo, Eli is standing with two young children with a baby or small toddler peering through the window of the door behind them. I'm uncertain whose children these may be, but I suspect they are the eldest three children of Eli's brother Walter Kiger.
