           In the household was: 91) Sexauer, Matthew; head; male; white; age 63; married, first; married for 47 years; and, 92) Sexauer, Minnie W.; wife; female; white; age 57; married, first; married for 47 years; mother of 5 children, 5 still living.
           By calculation from the information provided, the marriage would have taken place about 1862-1863. There are clearly problems with the information provided in the enumeration - 57 year old woman who had been married for 47 years would have been about 10 years old at the time of the marriage.
