Marriage of W. Rager to Clemence Wilmoth
Gayle Ashton 5/12/08
Clemence Wilmoth was the youngest child of Lemuel Wilmoth and his second wife, Mary Davis.The groom was William H., son of Eli Rager and Lavina Brown.The year must have been 1881:in 1880 both of them were single and living with their parents; in Feb. 1882, their daughter Luella was born.
William died in 1886 in a gravel-bank accident, according to an on-line tree, but I haven't found any sources for that yet.By 1900, Clemmie was remarried to Alva Wilson, and by 1910 she was a widow living in Indianapolis with her daughter & son-in-law, Luella & Frank Bowers.
