I ran accross the following obituary and can be reasonably sure this belongs in our Newlin family but I cannot find the connection. I did census searches and cannot locate her -Elnora Newlin. I did find her husband in 1910 with his parents Ben and Olive and he was born circa 1887 OH. Does anyone know how she connects?
