1860 census indicates that he was born in OH, not IN.
Roxie says he married his brother's widow Maria L. Cummins Smithson in 1909, yet the obituary says he married only twice and the second wife was Ella Myers who he married in 1925. If he married his brother's wife--they must have divorced since Maria lives to 1942 or so.Marriage to Maria ended in divorce. (TBH)
