Their story

Married August F. Weppner on 14 November 1888, his second marriage, and had nine children with him. Her son Oliver's 1931 biography gives her birth in Buffalo on 1 April 1868 and says she was still living in the city; the 1934 city directory lists her as Mrs. Josephine P. Weppner. WikiTree gives her birth as 1 April 1866 and a death date in 1930 that can't be right.
