Person:Walter Kifer (2)

Walter lived with his parents during the 1880 and 1900 US Federal Censuses.

The marriage of Walter to Rosie is WRONGLY attributed - see the Westmoreland data on their marriage record. Rosie Gindlespiger/Gindlesparge actually did marry a Walter C. Kibe and lived happily ever after! See her record for data.

Walter Kifer and Myrtle Loughner's father are second cousins. Their common ancestors are Jonas Loughner (1791-1855) and Maria Graushaar (1791-1855).
