Leonard Strichler	6 Apr 1872	98y	This is David Mann's first father-in-law (father of Nancy Strichler Mann). He lived with David for some years before his death even though Nancy had died and David had remarried to Sarah "Sally" Lewis.
Margaret Strichler	14 Aug 1878	69y/11m	This is Leonard Strichler's second wife (not Nancy Strichler Mann's mother). Her maiden name was Mann. She and Leonard were married in Ohio in a May/December marriage, she being 35 years his junior. I don't know what relationship if any Margaret Mann was to David, but she was of an age to have been a sister to David, and it seems that she came from PA to Ohio with the Mann clan and then came on to Iowa with her husband and with the Mann family.
