1. Census in 1900 in Marion, Marion, OH. ⁶ Renting the home at 210 Silver Street in Marion, Ohio, in 1900 was Emanuel Beicher, 53, born Mar 1847, married 36 years to wife Margaret, 52, born Mar 1848. She had birthed 5 children by 1900, 3 were still living, and one living with them: Howard E., 15, born Jul 1884, single. Emanuel and Margaret and their parents were born in Pennsylvania; Howard in Ohio. Emanuel's occupation is plasterer. The preceding neighbor in the Census is William M. Meiley, 37, born Aug 1862, who was born in Ohio but whose father was born in Pennsylvania, significant because Meily was the maiden name of Emanuel's mother. We suspect Emanuel came to Marion to link up with the Meileys.
