Census
I cannot find this family in 1900
1910 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead district 1, precinct 7, enumerated 25 April, lists on pp. 7B-8A as family #128/130:
Mynher, Chris, 34, 2nd marriage, married 0 years, teamster; Elizabeth, dau, 14; Andy S., son, 10; Mark E., son, 8; Zala, dau, 6. All born Ky Ky Ky.
This family straddles pages, with Chris at the bottom of p. 7B and the others at the top of p. 8A. It may be that the enumerator accidentally omitted Chris’s second wife Adina, to whom he had been married for 5 months, in the process of changing pages. On the other hand, since he was buried with his first wife Lovena even though she died 24 years before he did, the marriage to Adina probably did not last long.
1920 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead precinct 7, enumerated 28 Jan, lists on p. 13A, on Dry Creek Rd, as family #29/132:

Notes for Lovena Baldridge
Dates of birth and death are from her gravestone, a double stone with Chris which has her name as Lovena Mynhier.
Notes for John Christopher & Lovena (Family)
Rowan Co. marriage register A, p. 89, records the marriage of Criss Myhier and Tena Baldridge on 26 Feb 1895. License/bond book 1 has no form filled out for this marriage, but attached to the inside back cover is a consent note reading "Feb 26 94 Mr. Andy Davis please ischur licens for my girl and chris mynhier under my hand Andy Baldridge attest W. Crosswhite" (The date in the register is probably correct, since surrounding entries are also for 1895. Mr. Baldridge probably did the same thing as those of us who keep putting last year's date on our checks for the first few months of the year.)
