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.
