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.
