Elizabeth must of had a hard life. When August died he left her with 9 children and 7 months pregnant. The probate file for August goes on for over 30 years. On 24 Oct, 1896 Elizabeth married her brother-in-law Frank Holdried in Hillman, Montmorency Co., MI. That marriage did not last very long. By 1900 Frank is living by himself and I have been unable to locate Elizabeth. In 1907 Elizabeth married Charles Kaiser. In the 1910 census they were 5 Kaiser children living with Charles and Elizabeth. So she must of helped raise them. She was also about 11 years older than him. Charles died 28 Sept, 1944 and the only mention of Elizabeth was " his second wife died several years ago." He is not mentioned in her obituary and she is listed as Elizabeth Mier. We'll have to check more to see if they divorced.

Ogemaw County Herald, West Branch, Ogemaw Co., MI "MRS. ELIZABETH MIER PASSES AWAY IN ORTONVILLE Mrs. Elizabeth Mier died at the home of her son, William Mier, of Ortonville, Friday, November 27, of congestion of the heart and lungs, after a six-day illness. The remains were brought to the home of her daughter Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, Saturday. Mrs. Mier was born in Canada, July 4, 1846, making her at the time of her death 85 years, four months and 23 days. She was married to August Mier in Formosa, Canada in 1871, and they came to Ogemaw county about 59 years ago, where she had made her home most of the time since.
