      State filed: Illinois and Indiana

      Inalild pension record dated 18 Feb 1890

      ===
      Ann Fails, as listed in the 1910 Federal Census, did not read nor write. Joseph did. This may explain some of the inconsistencies shown in various census returns. If Ann did not read nor write, she would not have had understanding of things like the calendar, whether he spoke German or French, and so forth.

    Notes 
    • A marriage occurs in Allen County, Indiana on 5 May 1866 between Joseph Fris and Anne Smith. See Index to Marriage Record, 1824 - 1920 inclusive; available in the county clerk's office. Book 6, page 326. This is the correct timeframe, and Allen County was nearby Columbia City--where the Fries lived. With a wife named Ann--there is a distinct possibility these persons are our people. Leo Fries could have been in error to mention Keiner, Missouri.
