Hi Geri,

I have the following children for Walter Lewis and Anna Hile: Abijah
married to Harriet Blisset, Arminda (no further information), Harriet
married to John William Martin, Sylvester married to Anna Marie Long; a son
Delphos who died as an infant and Delphia, who was married twice; first to a
Mahnke and then to Jesse Watson.

Delphia is listed in the following census as a widow with the married name
of Mahnke:
1910 US Census
New York, Orleans County, Town of Yates
Supervisor District 18, Enumeration district 167, Sheet 8B
Taken on May 2, 1910 by Charles Brown
Dwelling 164, Family 168
Lewis, Walter M, head, 64, widow, born New York, parents New York, own
income
Mahnke, Dlephia, daughter, 23, widow, had 0 children, New York, parents New
York/Ohio

My William Mahnke was never married to a Nell Hile. He was married to
Catherine Blissett (sister of Harriet who is married to Abijah Lewis) and
they were still married when he died. This William Mahnke is my great
uncle.

Mary
