    8. [S106] United States; Bureau of the Census, U.S. Census (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration), Margaret Etling household, 1900 US Census, St. Louis County, Missouri, population schedule, City of St. Louis, Ward 10, SD 11, ED 152, sheet 2A, house 2611 Potomac? Street, family 26, lines 3-4. NARA microfilm T623, roll 893, page 77.
      Margaret Etling; head of household; widow; married for 24 years; mother of 11 children, of whom 5 were still alive at time of enumeration (June 1900). At that time, living with Margaret was her 12 year old grand daughter, Louisa Maeser. Other sources indicate that Margaretha's husband, August Etling, died in December 1876. If it is correct, as stated in the census, that the marriage lasted for 24 years, it would seem that August and Margaretha were married about 1852.
