    • Although both of their obituaries show they were married in 1907, they were actually married in 1909 per the article below, courtesy of Carole Benkelman:

      Cass City Chronicle Jan. 5th, 1934, page 8.

      In the "25 years ago" section.
      Jan. 8th, 1909

      Calvin J. Striffler of this city and Miss Rose Bixby were united in marriage at Syracuse, N. Y on Monday.

      This also matches the 1910 census, which indicates they had been married 1 year.
