Chris C. Brinneman household, 1940, Huntington County, Indiana

Located the 1940 census of the Chris C. Brinneman household in Huntington County, Indiana.  Chris' wife, Leota, was Eileen's 1st cousin 3 times removed.  Their common ancestors were Solomon Lewis and Margaret Rinehart.  Leota was the daughter of Levi Arnold and Amanda Lewis.

1940 U.S. census, Huntington County, Indiana, population schedule, Jefferson Township, enumeration district (ED) 35-19, SD 5, sheet 12A, household 262, ; digital images, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 25 December 2016); National Archives, Washington, D.C..
At the time of the enumeration, Chris and his wife were living in Jefferson Township.  Chris owned the home and it was valued at $700.  Chris was 59 years old and born in Indiana.  His wife, Leota, was 57 years old and born in Indiana.  In 1935, they were living in the same place.

The record shows that Chris and Leota had both completed the 8th grade in education.  Chris' occupation was listed as a farmer, and no occupation was listed for Leota.

If you have additional information or are connected to this family, I'd love to hear from you.

Isabella Lewis (1850-1876), Huntington County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Isabella Lewis (1850-1876) was the daughter of Solomon and Margaret (Rinehart) Lewis.  Her marriage to William Arnold on December 19, 1869 in Huntington County, Indiana was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I only had a date of their marriage and not the location. I have not yet determined whether William Arnold was a brother to the Levi Arnold who married Isabella's sister, Amanda.

Isabella was Eileen's maternal 2nd-great grandaunt.  The family lived in Jefferson Township, Huntington County, Indiana in the 1870 census.  Both William and Isabella died within a month of each other in 1876 and are buried in the Purviance Cemetery in Huntington County.  I do not yet know if there were any children.

Amanda Lewis (1853-1943), Huntington County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Amanda Lewis (1853-1943) was the daughter of Solomon and Margaret (Rinehart) Lewis.  Her marriage to Levi Arnold on September 2, 1871 in Huntington County, Indiana was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I had a date for the marriage, but not a location in my database.

Amanda was Eileen's maternal 2nd-great grandaunt.  They lived most of their lives in Jefferson Township, Huntington County, Indiana.  Right now I only have the names of two of their children in my database, though I believe they had six.
