[Laura's note: I think some of the Ebbert dates are wrong here. We have an obituary for George F. Ebbert, which agrees that he married a Mrs. Ida Barker, who survived him, but his obit states that he died in 1968. I suspect, though I am not sure, that they were actually married in 1960, and that he died in 1968, not 1978. George's first wife, Chloe, passed away in 1959 so it is plausible. I have not yet found any records to prove the other dates however, so it is just a theory. There is also a chance that the incorrect dates in this obituary were typos.]
